Realization of efficient InGaN-based green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is highly desirable in solid-state lighting industry. Here, we propose a stacked last quantum barrier (SLQB) GaN/AlN layer for green (∼550) LEDs grown on patterned sapphire substrate to improve the device performance. A green LED with a SLQB achieves a light output power (LOP) of 13 mW at 15 mA, which is 35% higher than that of LEDs with a conventional last quantum barrier (CLQB) GaN layer. In addition, the forward voltage of the green LED with the SLQB is reduced by 0.16 V compared with green LEDs with the CLQB. Simulation results demonstrate that the AlN layer in the SLQB increases the effective barrier height for electrons and alleviates the electron leakage effect. It also enables an intraband tunneling process for holes to inject into the active region, promoting the hole injection efficiency. As a result, we successfully obtain InGaN-based green LEDs with remarkably improved carrier injection efficiency by adopting the SLQB structure.

Agomelatine (AGM) is an effective antidepressant with low oral bioavailability due to intensive hepatic metabolism. Transdermal administration of agomelatine may increase its bioavailability and reduce the doses necessary for therapeutic effects. However, transdermal delivery requires crossing the barrier.

Hybrid systems consisting of highly transparent channels of low-dimensional semiconductors between superconducting elements allow the formation of quantum electronic circuits. Therefore, they are among the novel material platforms that could pave the way for scalable quantum computation. To this aim, InAs two-dimensional electron gases are among the ideal semiconductor systems due to their vanishing Schottky barrier; however, their exploitation is limited by the unavailability of commercial lattice-matched substrates.

Light-driven bioethanol dehydration offers attractive outlooks for the sustainable production of ethylene. Herein, a surface-hydrogenated CrMnO is coupled with GaN nanowires (GaN@CMO-H) for light-driven ethanol dehydration to ethylene. Through combined experimental and computational investigations, a surface hydrogen-replenishment mechanism is proposed to disclose the ethanol dehydration pathway over GaN@CMO-H.

Ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) are widely used as sterilizing agents in the food industry. However, their residues in food packaging can migrate into food and react with it, affecting the accuracy of residue detection in food. This study aims to explore the reaction mechanisms between EO and PO and aqueous food simulants using both experimental and computational methods.
