Undoped and 1 at.% Co-doped ZnO nanostructure based UV photodetectors were successfully fabricated by RF- magnetron sputtering technique with comb like Pt electrodes. Cobalt ions were successfully incorporated into the lattice of the ZnO nanostructure without changing its wurtzite structure. It was indicated that Co-doping can effectively adjust the luminescence properties of the ZnO nanostructure. The undoped and Co-doped ZnO photodetectors were observed to have photosensitivities of 1.44 x 104 % and 8.57 x 102 % and low dark currents of 9.74 x 10-8 A and 1.18 x 10-7 A, respectively. 相似文献
Linear G peak position temperature dependence in Raman spectra of graphene synthesized by chemical vapor deposition from decane on copper (220) with a shift factor of ?(5.4 ± 0.4) × 10?2 cm?1K?1 was observed. The obtained value substantially exceeds values previously obtained for graphene by other authors, and was associated with the substrate interaction effects. 相似文献
High efficient hydrogen evolved Ni-doped Zn(O,S) photocatalyst with different Ni amounts had been successfully synthesized with a simple method at low temperature. Our Ni-doped Zn(O,S) catalyst reached the highest hydrogen generation rate of 14,800 μmol g?1 h?1 or 0.92 mmol g?1 h?1 W?1 corresponding to apparent quantum yield 31.5%, which was 2.3 times higher compared to the TiO2/Pt used as a control in this work. It was found that a small amount of Ni doped into Zn(O,S) nanoparticles could increase the optical absorbance, lower the charge transfer resistance, accordingly decrease the electron-hole recombination rate, and significantly enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The as-prepared catalyst has the characteristics of low cost, low power consumption for activating the catalytic HER, abundant and environmental friendly constituents, and low surface oxygen bonding for forming oxygen vacancies. The photocatalytic performance of Ni-doped Zn(O,S) was demonstrated with a proposed kinetic mechanism in this paper. 相似文献
The conventional hydrogen production methods, primarily steam methane reforming and coal gasification, produce massive amounts of greenhouse gas emissions which significantly cause impacts on the environment. An alternative hydrogen production method is high-temperature electrolysis using Solid Oxide Electrolyzer that combines both high conversion efficiency and saleable high purity hydrogen production. The produced hydrogen can feed the various industrial processes at different scales in addition to offering an environmentally friendly storage option. The scope of this paper is to examine the economic feasibility of this technology through the utilization of the exergoeconomic concept, which traces the flow of exergy through the system and price both waste and products. Therefore, a standalone solid oxide electrolyzer of a 1MWe is considered for hydrogen production using renewably generated electricity. Having the detailed exergy analysis conducted in earlier studies, the focus of this article is on the costing of each exergy stream to determine the exergy cost and the potential changes outcomes as a result of the system operating or design parameters optimization. It is found that the cost of hydrogen production through the modular high-temperature electrolyzer varies between $3-$9/kg with an average of about $5.7/kg, respectively. 相似文献
As the number of Arabic corpora is constantly increasing, there is an obvious and growing need for concordancing software for corpus search and analysis that supports as many features as possible of the Arabic language, and provides users with a greater number of functions. This paper evaluates six existing corpus search and analysis tools based on eight criteria which seem to be the most essential for searching and analysing Arabic corpora, such as displaying Arabic text in its right-to-left direction, normalising diacritics and Hamza, and providing an Arabic user interface. The results of the evaluation revealed that three tools: Khawas, Sketch Engine, and aConCorde, have met most of the evaluation criteria and achieved the highest benchmark scores. The paper concluded that developers’ conscious consideration of the linguistic features of Arabic when designing these three tools was the most significant factor behind their superiority. 相似文献
Wireless body area network (WBAN) has witnessed significant attentions in the healthcare domain using biomedical sensor-based monitoring of heterogeneous nature of vital signs of a patient’s body. The design of frequency band, MAC superframe structure, and slots allocation to the heterogeneous nature of the patient’s packets have become the challenging problems in WBAN due to the diverse QoS requirements. In this context, this paper proposes an Energy Efficient Traffic Prioritization for Medium Access Control (EETP-MAC) protocol, which provides sufficient slots with higher bandwidth and guard bands to avoid channels interference causing longer delay. Specifically, the design of EETP-MAC is broadly divided in to four folds. Firstly, patient data traffic prioritization is presented with broad categorization including Non-Constrained Data (NCD), Delay-Constrained Data (DCD), Reliability-Constrained Data (RCD) and Critical Data (CD). Secondly, a modified superframe structure design is proposed for effectively handling the traffic prioritization. Thirdly, threshold based slot allocation technique is developed to reduce contention by effectively quantifying criticality on patient data. Forth, an energy efficient frame design is presented focusing on beacon interval, superframe duration, and packet size and inactive period. Simulations are performed to comparatively evaluate the performance of the proposed EETP-MAC with the state-of-the-art MAC protocols. The comparative evaluation attests the benefit of EETP-MAC in terms of efficient slot allocation resulting in lower delay and energy consumption.
