Insights into the efficient charge separation over Nb2O5/2D-C3N4 heterostructure for exceptional visible-light driven H2 evolution

Two-dimensional carbon nitride(2 D-C₃ N₄)nanosheets are promising materials in photocatalytic water splitting,but still suffer from easy agglomeration and fast photogene rated electron-hole pairs recombination.To tackle this issue,herein,a hierarchical Nb₂ O₅/2 D-C₃ N₄ heterostructure is precisely constructed and the built-in electric field between Nb₂O₅ and 2 D-C₃ N₄ can provide the driving force to separate/transfer the charge carriers efficiently.Moreover,the strongly Lewis acidic Nb₂O₅ can adsorb TEOA molecules on its surface at locally high concentrations to facilitate the oxidation reaction kinetics under irradiation,resulting in efficient photogene rated electrons-holes separation and exceptional photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.As expected,the champion Nb₂O₅/2 D-C₃N₄ heterostructure achieves an exceptional H2 evolution rate of 31.6 mmol g^-1 h^-1,which is 213.6 times and 4.3 times higher than that of pristine Nb₂O₅ and2 D-C₃N₄,respectively.Moreover,the champion heterostructure possesses a high apparent quantum efficiency(AQE)of 45.08%atλ=405 nm and superior cycling stability.Furthermore,a possible photocatalytic mechanism of the energy band alignment at the hetero-interface is proposed based on the systematical characterizations accompanied by density functional theory(DFT)calculations.This work paves the way for the precise construction of a high-quality heterostructured photocatalyst with efficient charge separation to boost hydrogen production.

Surface passivation in n-type silicon and its application in silicon drift detector

Based on the surface passivation of n-type silicon in a silicon drift detector(SDD), we propose a new passivation structure of SiO2/Al2O3/SiO2 passivation stacks. Since the SiO2 formed by the nitric-acid-oxidation-of-silicon(NAOS)method has good compactness and simple process, the first layer film is formed by the NAOS method. The Al2O3 film is also introduced into the passivation stacks owing to exceptional advantages such as good interface characteristic and simple process. In addition, for requirements of thickness and deposition temperature, the third layer of the SiO2 film is deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD). The deposition of the SiO2 film by PECVD is a low-temperature process and has a high deposition rate, which causes little damage to the device and makes the SiO2 film very suitable for serving as the third passivation layer. The passivation approach of stacks can saturate dangling bonds at the interface between stacks and the silicon substrate, and provide positive charge to optimize the field passivation of the n-type substrate.The passivation method ultimately achieves a good combination of chemical and field passivations. Experimental results show that with the passivation structure of SiO2/Al2O3/SiO2, the final minority carrier lifetime reaches 5223 μs at injection of 5×10¹⁵ cm^-3. When it is applied to the passivation of SDD, the leakage current is reduced to the order of nA.     

Salt effect on molecular orientation at air/liquid methanol interface

The salt effects on molecular orientation at air/liquid methanol interface were investigated by the polarization-dependent sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy(SFG-VS). We clarified that the average tilting angle of the methyl group to be u = 308 58 at the air/pure methanol surface assuming a d-function orientational distribution. Upon the addition of 3 mol/L Na I, the methyl group tilts further away from the surface normal with a new u = 418 38. This orientational change does not explain the enhancement of the SFG-VS intensities when adding Na I, implying the number density of the methanol molecules with a net polar ordering in the surface region also changed with the Na I concentrations. These spectroscopic findings shed new light on the salt effects on the surfaces structures of the polar organic solutions. It was also shown that the accurate determination of the bulk refractive indices and Raman depolarization ratios for different salt concentrations is crucial to quantitatively interpret the SFG-VS data.     

Alcohol/water-soluble porphyrins as cathode interlayers in high-performance polymer solar cells

Three alcohol/water-soluble porphyrins,Zn-TPy PMe I:zinc(II)meso-tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin tetra-iodide,ZnTPy PAd Br:zinc(II)meso-tetra[1-(1-adamantylmethyl ketone)-4-pyridyl]porphyrin tetra-bromide and Mn Cl-TPy PAd Br:manganese(III)meso-tetra[1-(1-adamantylmethyl ketone)-4-pyridyl]porphyrin tetra-bromide were employed as cathode interlayers to fabricate polymer solar cells(PSCs).The PC71BM([6,6]-phenyl C71 butyric acid methyl ester)and PCDTBT(poly[N-9″-hepta-decanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4′,7′-di-2-thienyl-2′,1′,3′-benzothiadiazole)])-blend films were used as active layers in polymer solar cells(PSCs).The PSCs with alcohol/water-soluble porphyrins interlayer showed obviously higher power conversion efficiency(PCE)than those without interlayers.The highest PCE,6.86%,was achieved for the device with Mn ClTPy PAd Br as an interlayer.Ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopic(UPS),carrier mobility,atomic force microscopy(AFM)and contact angle( )characterizations demonstrated that the porphyrin molecules can result in the formation of interfacial dipole layer between active layer and cathode.The interfacial dipole layer can obviously improve the open-circuit voltage(Voc)and charge extraction,and sequentially lead to the increase of PCE.
