The rotationally resolved magnetic dipole absorption spectrum of the oxygen A-band b(1)Σ(g)(+)(v=0) <- X(3)Σ(g)(-)(v=0) perturbed by collisions with helium was studied theoretically using the impact approximation. To calculate the relaxation matrix, scattering calculations were performed on a newly computed helium-oxygen (b(1)Σ(g)(+)) interaction potential as well as on a helium-oxygen (X(3)Σ(g)(-)) interaction potential from the literature. The calculated integrated line cross sections and broadening coefficients are in good agreement with experimental results from the literature. Additionally, cavity ring-down experiments were performed in the wings of the spectral lines for a quantitative study of line-mixing, i.e., the redistribution of rotational line intensities by helium-oxygen collisions. It is shown that inclusion of line-mixing in the theory is required to reproduce the experimentally determined absolute absorption strengths as a function of the density of the helium gas.

In this study, high-entropy spinel oxides (CoNiMnFeCr)O were synthesized using a PVP-assisted sol-gel method, marking the first report of this approach for producing high-entropy oxides. This method provides new insights into morphology customization through precise temperature control during calcination. Samples were calcined at 800, 900, and 1000 °C, and structural, optical, and electrochemical characterizations were performed to evaluate the impact of synthesis conditions on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers created a new type of ZnO/NiO p-n heterojunction photoelectrochemical (PEC) catalyst that improves charge separation and transfer efficiency for enhancing reactions in a photo-enhanced zinc-air battery (PZAB).
  • The design of the heterojunction promotes an internal electric field, which helps speed up charge movement and enhances the efficiency of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER).
  • The study also used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to explain how this catalyst works by lowering the energy barriers for key reactions and showing effective separation of charges when exposed to light, ultimately leading to better performance in PZABs.
