This study offers a comprehensive summary of the current states as well as potential future directions of transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), particularly tin-doped indium oxide (ITO), the most readily accessible TCO on the market. Solar cells, flat panel displays (FPDs), liquid crystal displays (LCDs), antireflection (AR) coatings for airbus windows, photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices, transparent p-n junction diodes, etc. are a few of the best uses for this material.

Article Synopsis
  • Bottom-up design of electronic materials relies on precisely controlling self-assembly, using atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) as modular building blocks.
  • A new molecular silver nanocluster (0 D Ag-NC) was assembled into a one-dimensional nanocluster chain (1 D Ag-CAM) using 4,4'-bipyridine linkers, both exhibiting cuboctahedron geometries protected by organic ligands.
  • The 1 D Ag-CAM device showed superior resistive switching behavior with increased durability, a higher current ratio, and demonstrated negative differential resistance, underscoring the significance of connecting molecular nanoclusters for improved electronic memory properties.

Fumonisin B (FB) is a mycotoxin mainly found in corn, peanuts, and wheat crops, which affects human health. Based on bismuth sulfide/bismuth oxychloride (BiS/BiOCl) composite material, silver sulfide (AgS) was grown in situ as a quantum dot sensitization signal, and a photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor was designed by layer upon layer modification to detect FB. BiS/BiOCl has a wide range of visible light absorption, stable chemical properties, and a simple synthesis method.
