Creating an Air‐Stable Sulfur‐Doped Black Phosphorus‐TiO2 Composite as High‐Performance Anode Material for Sodium‐Ion Storage

With the increasing demand for low cost, long lifetime, high energy density storage systems, an extensive amount of effort has recently been focused on the development of sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs), and a variety of cathode materials have been discovered. However, looking for the most suitable anode material for practical application is a major challenge for SIBs. Herein, a high capacity sulfur‐doped black phosphorus‐TiO₂ (TiO₂‐BP‐S) anode material for SIBs is first synthesized by a feasible and large‐scale high‐energy ball‐milling approach, and its stability in air exposure is investigated through X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The morphology of TiO₂‐BP‐S is characterized using transmission electron microscopy, indicating that the TiO₂ nanoparticles produce P? Ti bonds with BP. The TiO₂‐BP‐S composite with P? S and P? Ti bonds exhibits excellent stability in air and the superior electrochemical performance. For example, the discharge specific capacity is up to 490 mA h g^?1 after 100 cycles at 50 mA g^?1, and it remains at 290 mA h g^?1 after 600 cycles at 500 mA g^?1. Meanwhile, the scientific insight that the formation of stable P? S and P? Ti bonds can provide a guide for the practical large‐scale application of SIBs in other titanium base and black phosphorus materials is looked forward.     

晶硅太阳电池黑斑分析

p型单晶硅太阳电池在EL检测过程中,部分电池片出现黑斑现象.结合X射线能谱分析(EDS),对黑斑片与正常片进行对比分析,发现黑斑片电池与正常电池片大部分表面的成分相同,排除了镀膜及丝网印刷过程中产生黑斑的可能.利用X射线荧光光谱分析(XRF)测试了同一电池片的黑斑区域与正常区域,发现黑斑处Ca含量较大,并出现Sr、Ge和S等杂质元素.将6个档位的电池片制备成2 cm×2 cm的电池样片,利用光生诱导电流测量了每个电池的外量子效率(EQE).在460～1 000 nm波长范围内,同一电池片黑斑处与正常处的EQE相差较大,说明黑斑的出现与原生硅片缺陷无关,应归结于电池片生产过程中引入的杂质缺陷.给出了杂质引入的原因以及解决途径,从而显著减小了黑斑片产生的几率.

Effect of the fabrication method on the electrical properties of poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co-styrene)/carbon black composites

Poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co-styrene) (ABS), an engineering plastic, was combined with carbon black (CB) to increase its conductivity. The ABS/CB composites were prepared using two different methods: dissolution of ABS in Butan-2-one and manual mixing of the constituent materials. These fabrication methods led to different microstructures, which led to vastly different electrical properties. The microstructures were acquired using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy, while the electrical conductivity was obtained using impedance spectroscopy. The percolation threshold of the composites fabricated using the manual mixing method was found to be much lower (0.0054 vol.% CB) than that of the composites fabricated using the dissolution method (2.7 vol.% CB).

Black Phosphorus Quantum Dots Encapsulated Biodegradable Hollow Mesoporous MnO2: Dual-Modality Cancer Imaging and Synergistic Chemo-Phototherapy

To achieve an accurate diagnosis and efficient tumor treatment, developing a facile and powerful strategy to build multifunctional nanotheranostics is highly desirable. Benefiting from the distinct characteristics of black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs), herein, a versatile nanoprobe (H-MnO₂/DOX/BPQDs) is constructed for dual-modality cancer imaging and synergistic chemo-phototherapy. The hollow mesoporous MnO₂ (H-MnO₂) nanoparticles are sequentially decorated with a cationic polymer poly (allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and an anionic polymer poly (acrylic acid) (PAA). The obtained H-MnO₂-PAH-PAA is covalently grafted with BPQDs-PEG-NH₂ via a carbodiimide cross-linking reaction and then loaded with anti-cancer drug DOX to form final nanoprobe H-MnO₂/DOX/BPQDs. Under the tumor microenvironment, H-MnO₂/DOX/BPQDs is degraded to release encapsulated functional molecules DOX and BPQDs. DOX acts as the chemotherapy and fluorescence imaging agent, and BPQDs endows the nanoprobe with photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) abilities under dual laser irradiation of 630 and 808 nm. H-MnO₂ offers contrasts for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and facilitates conversion of endogenous H₂O₂ to oxygen, thereby relieving tumor hypoxia and enhancing PDT efficacy. All in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that the designed nanoprobe displays dual-modality MRI/FL imaging and synergistic chemotherapy/PDT/PTT, which ultimately enhances the accuracy of cancer diagnosis and therapeutic performance.     

Bimetal-Incorporated Black Phosphorene with Surface Electron Deficiency for Efficient Anti-Reconstruction Water Electrolysis

Surface reconstruction (SRC) is a common phenomenon and a promotion manner for Ni/Co-based precatalysts during the water splitting process. However, the catalytic surface reconstruction will in turn complicate the streamlined prediction and modeling on the catalytic activity. Hence, the rational design of anti-SRC catalysts is highly desirable, but challengeable. In this article, a series of affordable bimetal-incorporated black phosphorene (BP) catalysts are constructed by an in situ electro-exfoliation/insertion method for anti-SRC water electrolysis. It is found that the bimetals (e.g., NiFe, NiPd) are of cationic and covalent incorporation with electron-deficient state in few-layer BP. The optimized bimetal-BP structures present excellent and stable catalytic performances with low overpotentials in hydrogen evolution (HER, 53 mV, NiPd-BP) and oxygen evolution (OER, 268 mV, NiFe-BP) reactions at 10 mA cm⁻² in 1 m KOH. The anti-SRC behaviors are elucidated by in situ Raman studies during HER/OER, probably due to the balanced electron transfer pathway on Ni sites. This research opens interesting possibilities for designing the anti-SRC catalysts for efficient hydrogen production and authentic structure-activity understandings.     

An optimal linear and elliptical antenna array design using black widow optimisation for 5G communication

This research illustrates a precise linear and elliptical antenna array design for synthesising the optimal far-field radiation pattern in the fifth-generation (5G) communication spectrum using a meta-heuristic optimisation technique known as black widow optimisation (BWO). 5G communication is an emerging technology with revolutionary changes in the wireless communication system with ultra-high data rate, enhanced capacity, low latency and good quality of service. An accurate antenna array design for an ideal far-field radiation pattern synthesis with a suppressed side lobe level (SLL) value and half power beam width (HPBW) is the most crucial aspect of 5G communications. A suppressed SLL is necessary to reduce interference in the entire side lobe region, whereas a low HPBW is required for long-distance communication. Here, the BWO is employed to find the optimal feeding current to each array element to lower the SLL and the HPBW value. The BWO algorithm sustains impeccable equity between the exploration and exploitation stages to impact different potential regions of the search space and generate new solutions to attain the global optima by evading the trap of local optima. The design examples of the linear antenna array (LAA) and elliptical antenna array (EAA) are illustrated in this article by applying the optimal feeding currents to each array element. Compared to the uniform antenna array and methodologies described in the recently published literature, the results obtained utilising the BWO algorithm for designing the LAAs and EAAs demonstrate a substantial development in the reduction of SLL and HPBW.
