The fabrication of a p-shell/n-core coaxial nanorod ZnO homojunction light-emitting diode by inexpensive solution method is demonstrated. The p-type conductivity of the ZnO shell arises from the incorporation of potassium while the n-type conductivity of the core is due to unintentional doping.

Designing and discovering superior type-II band alignment are crucial for advancing optoelectronic device technologies. Here, we employ first-principles calculations to investigate the evolution of band edges in monolayer MoS, boron phosphide (BP), and MoS/BP heterostructures before and after their rolling into nanotubes. Our research results indicate that the intrinsic MoS/BP vertical heterostructures exhibit a type-II direct bandgap, but this feature is not robust under strain.

Recent advances in low-dimensional materials have enabled the synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride (BN) nanotubes (SWCNT@BNNT), creating one-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. However, controlling the quality and crystallinity of BNNT on the surface of SWCNTs using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) remains a challenge. To better understand the growth mechanism of the BNNT in SWCNT@BNNT, we conducted molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using empirical potentials.

Spinel ferrites have attracted considerable interest in energy storage systems due to their unique magnetic, electrical and catalytic properties. However, they suffer from poor electronic conductivity and low specific capacity. We have addressed this limitation by synthesizing composite hollow carbon nanofibers (HCNF) embedded with nanostructured Nickel Zinc Ferrite (NZF) and Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT), through coaxial electrospinning.

The interfacial interaction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) significantly enhances the output capability of piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs). However, overcoming the limitation of low specific surface area in one-dimensional materials remains a significant challenge. This paper introduces a hydrothermal method for composite MOF (C-M) using CNTs and MOF-5, demonstrating localized co-doping between them.

Article Synopsis
  • - One-dimensional van der Waals heterotubes, formed by coaxially nesting different nanotubes, provide a flexible platform with applications that depend on their sizes and structural properties.
  • - The study reveals that the stability and electronic properties of transition-metal dichalcogenide heterotubes are influenced by their interlayer distance and diameter.
  • - A shift in band alignment from type I to type II occurs due to interlayer electric fields, with implications for future nanotechnology applications.
