ZnO is a promising short-wavelength light-emitting materials for its wide bandgap (3.37 eV) and large exciton binding energy (∼60 meV), however, practical p-type doped ZnO is the main challenge in this field. Here, Blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on the homogeneous junctions of Sb doped ZnO nanowire arrays grown on Ga doped ZnO single crystal substrate are fabricated. Element analysis, FET and Hall-effect measurements demonstrate that the Sb atom has been successfully doped into ZnO nanowires to from p-type conductivity. On the benefit of high quality of nano-size homojunction, the fabricated LED shows low turn-on voltage turn-on voltage as low as 3.4 V and strong blue emission peak located at 425 nm at room temperature, which originate from interfacial recombination of ZnO nanowire p-n homojunctions. The present blue LED based on ZnO material may have potential applications in short-wavelength optoelectronic devices.

To date, few systematic approach has been established for predicting catalytic performance by analyzing the spectral information of molecules adsorbed on photocatalyst surfaces. Effective charge transfer (CT) between the semiconductor photocatalysts and surface-absorbed molecules is essential for enhancing catalytic activity and optimizing light energy utilization. This study aimed to validate the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based on the CT enhancement mechanism in investigating the CT process during semiconductor photocatalytic C-C coupling model reactions.

In order to achieve high quality production of vitamin E and plant sterols, it is necessary to conduct rapid and accurate detection of fungal toxins in their production raw material (vegetable oil deodorizer distillate, VODD). In this study, the flower-like biomimetic enzyme of silver-doped ZnO was synthesized through wet chemical method and in-situ reduction method. Based on above work, a flower-like biomimetic enzyme modified glass carbon electrode was fabricated, and its excellent detection capability against fungal toxins zearalenone was confirmed through electrochemical analysis.

This study investigates the potential of zinc oxide (ZnO) and Ag-doped zinc oxide (Ag-ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) (1, 3 and 5 wt%) electrospun into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) based triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) to harness electrical energy from ambient mechanical vibrations. ZnO and Ag-ZnO NPs were developed using a co-precipitation method. 3 wt% Ag-ZnO doping was optimized to exhibit a higher β-crystalline phase in PVDF (PAZ3).

Multidrug-resistant infections pose a critical challenge to healthcare systems, particularly in nosocomial settings. This drug-resistant bacterium forms biofilms and produces an array of virulent factors regulated by quorum sensing. In this study, metal-tolerant bacteria were isolated from a metal-contaminated site and screened for their ability to synthesize multifunctional nanocomposites (NCs).
