2D Janus transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted attention due to their emergent properties arising from broken mirror symmetry and self-driven polarization fields. While it has been proposed that their vdW superlattices hold the key to achieving superior properties in piezoelectricity and photovoltaic, available synthesis has ultimately limited their realization. Here, the first packed vdW nanoscrolls made from Janus TMDs through a simple one-drop solution technique are reported. The results, including ab initio simulations, show that the Bohr radius difference between the top sulfur and the bottom selenium atoms within Janus (M = Mo, W) results in a permanent compressive surface strain that acts as a nanoscroll formation catalyst after small liquid interaction. Unlike classical 2D layers, the surface strain in Janus TMDs can be engineered from compressive to tensile by placing larger Bohr radius atoms on top (to yield inverted C scrolls. Detailed microscopy studies offer the first insights into their morphology and readily formed Moiré lattices. In contrast, spectroscopy and FETs studies establish their excitonic and device properties and highlight significant differences compared to 2D flat Janus TMDs. These results introduce the first polar Janus TMD nanoscrolls and introduce inherent strain-driven scrolling dynamics as a catalyst to create superlattices. 相似文献

The chemical binding between metal compounds and polysulfides provides a good solution to inhibit shuttle effect in Li-S batteries. However, the Sabatier principle predicts that overly strong adsorption will commonly hinder the conversion of polysulfides, so building the synergetic effect mechanism between “strong adsorption” and “fast conversion” for polysulfides is a significant strategy. To realize this goal, in this study, the defect-enriched Co9S8 hollow prisms (DHCPs) as both S host and catalyst material for Li-S batteries are designed. Based on in situ UV–vis spectroscopy results, it is found that DHCPs can profitably promote the generation of radicals during the discharge process. In the case of the relatively high conversion barrier of “liquid–liquid” reaction, the generated radicals are responsible for the fast conversion reaction via a unique reaction pathway. When the sulfur loading is 4.63 mg cm−2, the cell with DHCP/S cathode delivers a high areal capacity of 4.75 mAh cm−2 at 0.1 C and keeps a high capacity of 2.99 mAh cm−2 after 100 cycles at 0.5 C. This study provides a positive attempt to achieve “strong adsorption” and “fast conversion” of polysulfides simultaneously, which will convincingly boost the development and practical process of Li-S batteries. 相似文献

Correlated 2D layers, like 1T-phases of TaS2, TaSe2, and NbSe2, exhibit rich tunability through varying interlayer couplings, which promotes the understanding of electron correlation in the 2D limit. However, the coupling mechanism is, so far, poorly understood and is tentatively ascribed to interactions among the orbitals of Ta or Nb atoms. Here, it is theoretically shown that the interlayer hybridization and localization strength of interfacial Se pz orbitals, rather than Nb orbitals, govern the variation of electron-correlated properties upon interlayer sliding or twisting in correlated magnetic 1T-NbSe2 bilayers. Each of the layers is in a star-of-David (SOD) charge-density-wave phase. Geometric and electronic structures and magnetic properties of 28 different stacking configurations are examined and analyzed using density-functional-theory calculations. It is found that the SOD contains a localized region, in which interlayer Se pz hybridization plays a paramount role in varying the energy levels of the two Hubbard bands. These variations lead to three electronic transitions among four insulating states, which demonstrate the effectiveness of interlayer interactions to modulate correlated magnetic properties in a prototypical correlated magnetic insulator. 相似文献

SnSe has attracted much attention due to the excellent thermoelectric (TE) properties of both p‐ and n‐type single crystals. However, the TE performance of polycrystalline SnSe is still low, especially in n‐type materials, because SnSe is an intrinsic p‐type semiconductor. In this work, a three‐step doping process is employed on polycrystalline SnSe to make it n‐type and enhance its TE properties. It is found that the Sn0.97Re0.03Se0.93Cl0.02 sample achieves a peak ZT value of ≈1.5 at 798 K, which is the highest ZT reported, to date, in n‐type polycrystalline SnSe. This is attributed to the synergistic effects of a series of point defects: . In those defects, the compensates for the intrinsic Sn vacancies in SnSe, the acts as a donor, the acts as an acceptor, all of which contribute to optimizing the carrier concentration. Rhenium (Re) doping surprisingly plays dual‐roles, in that it both significantly enhances the electrical transport properties and largely reduces the thermal conductivity by introducing the point defects, . The method paves the way for obtaining high‐performance TE properties in SnSe crystals using multipoint‐defect synergy via a step‐by‐step multielement doping methodology. 相似文献

At the cutting-edge of microwave detection technology, novel approaches which exploit the interaction between microwaves and quantum devices are rising. In this study, microwaves are efficiently detected exploiting the unique transport features of InAs/InP nanowire double quantum dot-based devices, suitably configured to allow the precise and calibration-free measurement of the local field. Prototypical nanoscale detectors are operated both at zero and finite source-drain bias, addressing and rationalizing the microwave impact on the charge stability diagram. The detector performance is addressed by measuring its responsivity, quantum efficiency and noise equivalent power that, upon impedance matching optimization, are estimated to reach values up to ≈2000 A W−1, 0.04 and ≈, respectively. The interaction mechanism between the microwave field and the quantum confined energy levels of the double quantum dots is unveiled and it is shown that these semiconductor nanostructures allow the direct assessment of the local intensity of the microwave field without the need for any calibration tool. Thus, the reported nanoscale devices based on III-V nanowire heterostructures represent a novel class of calibration-free and highly sensitive probes of microwave radiation, with nanometer-scale spatial resolution, that may foster the development of novel high-performance microwave circuitries. 相似文献

Ferroelectric (FE) control of magnetism at nanoscale, for instance, FE control of the polarity of spin-polarized current is crucial for technological advances in magnetoelectric and spintronic applications. However, this fascinating functionality has not been reported in nanoscale systems yet. Herein, a new class of FE/A-type antiferromagnetic heterobilayer/FE van der Waals (vdW) multiferroic structures is found, in which the FE control of polarity of spin-polarized current is found possible. Take Sc2CO2/CrSiTe3/CrGeTe3/Sc2CO2 heterostructure as a successful example. First-principles calculations reveal that its polarity of half-metallicity can be switched by flipping the FE polarization orientation. Meanwhile, device transport simulation shows that its up/down spin current transmission ratio is as large as 0.1 × 103 at Sc2CO2 configuration and is only 2.6 × 10−3 at Sc2CO2 configuration in the vdW multiferroic heterostructures. Essentially, it stems from the reversible FE switch of the internal electric field across the CrSiTe3/CrGeTe3 heterobilayer and the FE control of the interfacial effect between Sc2CO2 and Cr(Si/Ge)Te3 layers. This work opens a direction for constructing low-energy-dissipation, non-volatile, and high-sensitive spintronic devices such as spin field-effect transistors. 相似文献

A high-concentration electrolyte is favored in dual-ion batteries (DIBs) due to the lower onset potential for anion intercalation, higher specific discharge capacity, and better oxidation stability. Inspired by the correlation between the high-concentration electrolytes and localized high-concentration electrolytes, it is suspected that it is not the salt concentration but the solution structure of the electrolyte that determines the intercalation behavior of anion into graphite cathode. To prove the viewpoint, a series of electrolytes are prepared by controlling the salt concentration or solution structure and the intercalation behavior of within the graphite cathode is investigated in Li||graphite and graphite||graphite cells. It is found that anions exhibit similar onset potentials and specific discharge capacities in the electrolytes with different salt concentrations but similar solution structures. This study provides a new perspective on designing promising electrolytes for DIBs, which can accelerate the further exploitation of high-performance DIBs. 相似文献

Previous studies of single crystal BiFeO3 have found a dense domain structure with alternating sawtooth and flat domain walls (DWs). The nature of these domains and their 3D structure has remained elusive to date. Herein, several sections taken at different orientations are used to examine the structure in detail, concentrating here on the sawtooth DWs using diffraction contrast transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, and aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). All DWs are found to be 180° type; the flat walls have head-to-head polarity while the sawtooth DWs are tail-to-tail with peaks elongated along the polar [111] axis, formed by neutral () DW facets and slightly charged facets with orientations close to () and (). The neutral DW facets are Ising type and very abrupt, while the charged DW facets have mixed Néel/Bloch/Ising character with a chiral nature and a width of about 2 nm. 相似文献

The discovery of superconductivity in hole-doped infinite-layer nickelates has fueled intense research to identify the critical factor responsible for high-Tc superconductivity. Magnetism and superconductivity are closely entangled, and elucidating the magnetic interactions in hole-doped nickelates is critical for understanding the pairing mechanism. Here, these calculations based on the generalized Bloch theorem (GBT) and magnetic force theorem (MFT) consistently reveal that hole doping stabilizes an incommensurate (IC) spin state and increases the IC wave vector continuously, in a way strikingly similar to hole-doped cuprates. Going further, a nonlinear Heisenberg model including first-neighbor and third-neighbor in-plane magnetic interactions is developed. The analytical solutions successfully reproduce GBT and MFT results and reveal that the competition between the two magnetic interactions is the decisive factor for the IC magnetic transition. Eventually, by analyzing the doping-controlled spin splitting of band and orbital-contributed exchange interactions, direct links between hole doping, magnetization, exchange constants, and magnetic order are established. This discovery of the IC spin state, new understanding of its electronic origin, and establishment of direct connection with the paring electrons radically change the current understanding of the magnetic properties in hole-doped NdNiO2 and open new perspectives for the superconducting mechanism in nickelates superconductors. 相似文献

The Tauc plot is a method originally developed to derive the optical gap of amorphous semiconductors such as amorphous germanium or silicon. By measuring the absorption coefficient α(hν) and plotting versus photon energy hν, a value for the optical gap (Tauc gap) is determined. In this way non-direct optical transitions between approximately parabolic bands can be examined. In the last decades, a modification of this method for (poly-) crystalline semiconductors has become popular to study direct and indirect interband transitions. For this purpose, (ahν)n (n = , 2) is plotted against hν to determine a value of the electronic bandgap. Due to the ease of performing UV–vis measurements, this method has nowadays become a standard to analyze various (poly-) crystalline solids, regardless of their different electronic structure. Although this leads partially to widely varying values of the respective bandgap of nominally identical materials, there is still no study that critically questions which peculiarities in the electronic structure prevent a use of the Tauc plot for (poly-) crystalline solids and to which material classes this applies. This study aims to close this gap by discussing the Tauc plot and its limiting factors for exemplary (poly-) crystalline solids with different electronic structures. 相似文献

Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) of 2D nanomaterials are potent exploration devices for high-sensitive mechanical coupling, mass testing, and biosensing. Nevertheless, the internal interference from the multiple resonant states easily causes the deviation and overlap of the target signal. Here, an oxidized-MXene resonant system performs the unique response peak at the fundamental frequency f0,1 of 3.37 ± 0.04 MHz within the ultrawide frequency up to 400 MHz, due to the ferroelectric-conductive structure. This unique resonant peak can effectively avoid the dispute of indistinguishable vibratal states. The resonator exhibits advanced performances with a large dynamic range of 70.41 ± 0.15 dB and low thermomechanical motion spectral density of . The molecular sensing mechanisms of the oxidized-MXene system are systematically studied to achieve repeatable detection with high mass resolution (low to 8.00 ± 0.01 × 10-19 g). These consequences can afford potential guidelines for the NEMS devices in terms of the credible and legible sensors for ultra-accurate and interference-free measurements. 相似文献

Enhanced Stability and Narrowed D-Band Gap of Ce-Doped Co3O4 for Rechargeable Aqueous Zn-Air Battery

It remains challenging to achieve further breakthroughs in the development of durable bifunctional air cathode electrocatalysts for increasing the cycling life of rechargeable Zn-air battery (RZAB). Herein, d-band gap narrowing strategy is proposed to significantly boost the electrocatalytic activity and stability of spinel Co3O4 for both oxygen reduction and evolution reactions. In situ Raman spectroscopy finds that the Ce atom substitution can significantly improve the durability and corrosion resistance of electrocatalysts in harsh alkaline electrolytes. Synchrotron X-ray absorption fine structure reveals that the Co3+/Co2+ ratio of Co3O4 can be tuned with Ce introduction, which is beneficial to optimize the adsorption/desorption of the intermediates over Cooh3+ active sites. Density functional theory calculations further confirm the reduced gap between Co d-band and O p-band centers, increased electrical conductivity, together with the deepened valence band maximum of Co sites in Ce-doped Co3O4. Thereby, the optimized RZAB with Ce-Co3O4 delivers excellent long-term durability (290 h) and large specific capacity (876.3 ), which possesses great prospects in all-solid-state flexible RZAB devices. 相似文献

Integrating quantum dot (QD) gain elements onto Si photonic platforms via direct epitaxial growth is the ultimate solution for realizing on-chip light sources. Tremendous improvements in device performance and reliability have been demonstrated in devices grown on planar Si substrates in the last few years. Recently, electrically pumped QD lasers deposited in narrow oxide pockets in a butt-coupled configuration and on-chip coupling have been realized on patterned Si photonic wafers. However, the device yield and reliability, which ultimately determines the scalability of such technology, are limited by material uniformity. Here, detailed analysis is performed, both experimentally and theoretically, on the material asymmetry induced by the pocket geometry and provides unambiguous evidence suggesting that all pockets should be aligned to the [1 ] direction of the III-V crystal for high yield, high performance, and scalable on-chip light sources at 300 mm scale. 相似文献

Little experimentally explored and understood are the complex dynamics of microstructure formation by ice-templating when aqueous solutions or slurries are directionally solidified (freeze cast) into cellular solids. With synchrotron-based, time-resolved X-ray tomoscopy it is possible to study in situ under well-defined conditions the anisotropic, partially faceted growth of ice crystals in aqueous systems. Obtaining one full tomogram per second for ≈270 s with a spatial resolution of 6 µm, it is possible to capture with minimal X-ray absorption, the freezing front in a 3% weight/volume (w/v) sucrose-in-water solution, which typically progresses at 5–30 µm s−1 for applied cooling rates of = 1–10 °C min−1. These time and length scales render X-ray tomoscopy ideally suited to quantify in 3D ice crystal growth and templating phenomena that determine the performance-defining hierarchical architecture of freeze-cast materials: a complex pore morphology and “ridges”, “jellyfish cap”, and “tentacle”-like secondary features, which decorate the cell walls. 相似文献

PdSe2, an emerging 2D material with a novel anisotropic puckered pentagonal structure, has attracted growing interest due to its layer‐dependent electronic bandgap, high carrier mobility, and good air stability. Herein, a detailed Raman spectroscopic study of few‐layer PdSe2 (two to five layers) under the in‐plane uniaxial tensile strain up to 3.33% is performed. Two of the prominent PdSe2 Raman peaks are influenced differently depending on the direction of strain application. The mode redshifts more than the mode when the strain is applied along the a‐axis of the crystal, while the mode redshifts more than the mode when the strain is applied along the b‐axis. Such an anisotropic phonon response to strain indicates directionally dependent mechanical and thermal properties of PdSe2 and also allows the identification of the crystal axes. The results are further supported using first‐principles density‐functional theory. Interestingly, the near‐zero Poisson’s ratios for few‐layer PdSe2 are found, suggesting that the uniaxial tensile strain can easily be applied to few‐layer PdSe2 without significantly altering their dimensions at the perpendicular directions, which is a major contributing factor to the observed distinct phonon behavior. The findings pave the way for further development of 2D PdSe2‐based flexible electronics. 相似文献

Lithium-rich layered oxides (LROs) are one class of the most competitive high-capacity cathode materials due to their anion/cation synergistic redox activity. However, excessive oxidation of the oxygen sublattices can induce serious oxygen loss and structural imbalance. Hence, a near-surface reconfiguration strategy by fluorinating graphene is proposed to precisely regulate Mn3+/Mn4+ and O2−/(O2)n− redox couples for remarkably stabilizing high-capacity LROs and realizing the simultaneous reduction of the lattice stress, regulation of the Mn metal at a lower charge state, and construction of 3D Li+ diffusion channels. Combining with a highly conductive graphene-coating layer, the surface oxygen loss, transition metal dissolution, and electrolyte catalytic decomposition are suppressed. Benefiting from this synergy, the modified LROs disclose higher initial Coulombic efficiency and discharge-specific capacity and improve cyclability compared with pristine LROs. Further, it is revealed that the F− impact becomes easier for the O sites at the lattice interface of C2/m and Rm to sufficiently buffer lattice stress. Moreover, lithium ions coupled to the doped F atoms at the lattice interface migrate to the Ni-rich Rm lattice sites with lower migration energies. This consolidated understanding will open new avenues to regulate reversible oxygen redox of LROs for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. 相似文献

Trigonal planar units with large polarizability anisotropy and high physicochemical stability are ideal structural units for exploring nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Integrating the merits of two types of triangular-like moieties, a family of second-order NLO-active hybrid halides, MATX (X = Cl (1), Br ( 2 ), and I ( 3 )), are achieved. MATX crystallizes in a nonpolar space group of 2c but exhibits the optimal spatial arrangement and superior NLO performance. The low coordination planar trigonal AgX3 units enable segregation in layers of the three-winged propeller-like Me3TPA units. All of the layers are packed in a perfect parallel fashion, making the functional materials exhibit superior NLO performances, including the phase matchable behavior with strong SHG responses (6.2/ 1 , 6.5/ 2, and 7.6/ 3 times that of potassium dihydrogen phosphate), large birefringence (0.232/ 1 , 0.252/ 2 and 0.260/ 3 at 1064 nm), high laser damage threshold, wide transparent window, and easiness of crystal growth. The first-principles calculations reveal that the coexistence of strong linear and nonlinear optical properties are ascribed to the synergistic effect of the trigonal moieties. This study points out a useful path for the rational design of excellent NLO materials. 相似文献

Rechargeable FeS2 battery has been regarded as a promising energy storage device, due to its potentially high energy density and ultralow cost. However, the short lifespan associated with the shuttle effect of polysulfides, large volume change, agglomeration of Fe0 nanoparticles, narrow operating temperature range, and sluggish reaction kinetics, greatly impede the application of rechargeable FeS2 lithium-ion batteries. Herein, an all-solid-state battery (ASSB) coupling commercialized FeS2 is proposed with a novel superionic conductor Li6.8Si0.8As0.2S5I (LASI-80Si) to overcome these challenges. The shuttle effect of polysulfides and volume change of FeS2 are suppressed or completely eliminated in ASSB, due to solid-solid conversion of Li2S/S and large stacking pressure, respectively. Furthermore, the operating temperature range (−60–60 °C) is significantly expanded by the ultra-high and temperature-insensitive ionic conductivity of LASI-80Si (Ea = 0.20 eV), along with the superior FeS2/LASI-80Si interface stability. Thanks to the extra Li+ provided by Li2S and LiI functional phases, the “bridge” effect of LiI on facile interfacial Li-ion conduction, and the enhanced reaction kinetics of LASI-80Si ( 10.4 mS cm−1), ASSBs with LASI-80Si deliver long cycle life (244 cycles at 0.1 C and 600 cycles at 1 C), superior rate capability (20 C), high areal mass loading (13.37 mg cm−2), and ultrahigh areal capacity (9.05 mAh cm−2). These inspiring results demonstrate the enormous potential of LASI-80Si and FeS2 combination for practical application of wide-temperature and large-capacity ASSBs. 相似文献
