The construction of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) heterojunctions for high-performance gas sensors has garnered significant attention due to their capacity to operate at low temperatures. Herein, we realize two-dimensional (2D) WS nanosheets in situ grown on one-dimensional (1D) InO nanofibers to form heterostructures for formaldehyde (HCHO) gas sensors. Capitalizing on the p-n heterojunctions formed between WS and InO, coupled with the high surface-to-volume ratio characteristic of 1D nanostructures, the WS/InO NFs sensor demonstrated an elevated gas response of 12.

Manure replacing synthetic fertilizer is a viable practice to ensure crop yield and increase soil organic carbon (SOC), but its impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is inconsistent, thus remains its effect on CF unclear. In this study, a 7-year field experiment was conducted to assess the impact of replacing synthetic fertilizer with manure on crop productivity, SOC sequestration, GHG emissions and crop CF under winter wheat-summer maize cropping system. Five treatments were involved: synthetic nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer (NPK) and 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of manure replacing synthetic N (25%M, 50%M, 75%M, and 100%M).

Article Synopsis
  • It’s crucial to create environmentally stable materials with long shelf lives for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), as current understanding of their microscopic properties is limited.
  • Research using density functional theory (DFT) revealed that geometric and electronic structure changes in specific organic semiconductors are complex under external electric fields (EEFs), which impact charge transport differently for single-bonded molecules versus condensed ones.
  • The findings suggest that varying EEFs significantly alter molecular structures and charge mobility, indicating that the effects of EEFs must be considered to accurately determine the intrinsic mobility of organic semiconductors and guide the development of high-mobility materials.

Gong Cheng Ji Shu Guan Li Bu, Changqing Oil Field Branch Company, PetroChina Xi'an 710018 P. R. China.

In this study, a SiO layer-coated g-CN catalyst was prepared by a sol-gel method to overcome the poor adsorption ability and high recombination rate of charge carriers of pristine g-CN. SEM and TEM images indicated that SiO nanoparticles were coated on the surface of g-CN nanoparticles with a layered structure and the layers were tightly contacted with g-CN. XRD patterns, FTIR spectra, UV-vis spectra and XPS spectra revealed that the structure of g-CN was not destroyed and its photoelectric catalytic properties were not suppressed by the coating of SiO layers.
