| 1 | Self-assembly of single walled carbon nanotubes onto cotton to make conductive yarn显示文摘A simple,economical and scalable technique is demonstrated to make conductive yarn.Single walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs)are non-covalently functionalized with dye(Acid Red 91)and dispersed in water;while cotton yarn is treated with poly(ethylene imine).When the resulting yarn is immersed in the SWCNT dispersion,SWCNTs self-assemble onto the yarn due to electrostatic forces between the functionalized nanotubes and yarn.Scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy indicate the assembly of carbon nanotubes.The SWCNT functionalized yarn exhibits reasonable electrical conduction behaviour and are then used to make chemiresistors.The electrical resistance of the chemiresistors used as sensors increases on exposure to ammonia gas,which can be explained in terms of electron transfer between gas molecules and SWCNTs. | Wei Zhang Yee Yuan Tan Chengwei Wu S.Ravi P.Silva | 2012 | Particuology2012,10,4: | 2 |
| 2 | Complex permittivity-dependent plasma confinement-assisted growth of asymmetric vertical graphene nanofiber membrane for high-performance Li-S full cells显示文摘Vertical graphene(VG),possessing superior chemical,physical,and structural peculiarities,holds great promise as a building block for constructing a high-energy density lithium-sulfur(Li-S)battery.Therefore,it is desirable to develop a new VG growth technique with a novel structure to enable wide applications.Herein,we devise a novel complex permittivity-dependent plasma confinement-assisted VG growth technique,via asymmetric growing a VG layer on one side of N-doped carbon nanofibers for the first time,using a unique lab-built high flux plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system,as a bifunctional nanofiber membrane to construct Li-S batteries with low neg-ative/positive(N/P)and electrolyte/sulfur(E/S)ratios.The unique nanofiber membrane could simultaneously protect the cathode and anode,enabling an excellent electrochemical performance with low N/P and E/S ratios in Li-S bat-teries.Such a full cell delivers high gravimetric energy density and volumetric energy density of 340 Wh kg^(-1) and 547 Wh L^(-1),respectively,at low N/P(2:1)and E/S(4:1)ratios.Furthermore,a pouch cell achieves a high areal capacity of 7.1 mAh cm^(-2) at a sulfur loading of 6 mg cm^(-2).This work put forward a novel pathway for the design of high-energy density Li-S batteries. | Yongshang Zhang Zhiheng Wu Shaobin Wang Neng Li S.Ravi P.Silva Guosheng Shao Peng Zhang | 2022 | InfoMat2022,4,7: | 1 |
| 3 | Laser-Induced Recoverable Fluorescence Quenching of Perovskite Films at a Microscopic Grain Scale显示文摘Understanding the fundamental properties of metal-halide perovskite materials is driving the development of novel optoelectronic applications.Here,we report the observation of a recoverable laser-induced fluorescence quenching phenomenon in perovskite films with a microscopic grain-scale restriction,accompanied by spectral variations.This fluorescence quenching depends on the laser intensity and the dwell time under Auger recombination dominated conditions.These features indicate that the perovskite lattice deformation may take the main responsibility for the transient and show a new aspect to understand halide perovskite photostability.We further modulate this phenomenon by adjusting the charge carrier recombination and extraction,revealing that efficient carrier transfer can improve the bleaching resistance of perovskite grains.Our results provide future opportunities to attain high-performance devices by tuning the perovskite lattice disorder and harvesting the energetic carriers. | Yuren Xiang Yameng Cao Wenqiang Yang Rui Hu Sebastian Wood Bowei Li Qin Hu Fan Zhang Jujie He Mozhgan Yavari Jinlai Zhao Yunlong Zhao Jun Song Junle Qu Rui Zhu Thomas P.Russell S.Ravi P.Silva Wei Zhang | 2022 | Energy & Environmental Materials2022,5,4: | 0 |
| 4 | CO_(2)Emissions Post-COP26:Who is Responsible to Curb the Flow?Does it Matter if We Can Make it a Win-Win?显示文摘The debate about climate change is highly politicized.Not everyone is convinced that CO_(2)emissions are worth curbing despite seemingly irrefutable evidence in the IPCC’s latest report.[1]Some have vested interests in exploiting fossil fuels while others think alternative,cheaper solutions can be found.Countries that have shifted from manufacturing to service-based economies will find it easier to decarbonize.Other countries with relatively low carbon emissions per capita but large populations believe it is unfair that they should have to bear heavy costs of decarbonization to solve a problem that wealthier countries have created. | James Crawshaw S.Ravi P.Silva | 2022 | Energy & Environmental Materials2022,5,3: | 0 |
| 5 | Zinc-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks for High-Performance Supercapacitor Electrodes:Mechanism Underlying Pore Generation显示文摘Heat treatment of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)has provided a wide variety of functional carbons coordinated with metal compounds.In this study,two kinds of zinc-based MOF(ZMOF),C_(16)H_(10)O_(4)Zn(ZMOF1)and C_(8)H_(4)O_(4)Zn(ZMOF2),were prepared.ZMOF1 and ZMOF2 were carbonized at 1000℃,forming CZMOF1 and CZMOF2,respectively.The specific surface area(S_(BET))of CZMOF2 was~2700 m^(2)g^(−1),much higher than that of CZMOF1(~1300 m^(2)g^(−1)).A supercapacitor electrode based on CZMOF2 achieved specific capacitances of 360,278,and 221 F g^(−1)at 50,250,and 1000 mA g^(−1)in an aqueous electrolyte(H2SO_(4)),respectively,the highest values reported to date for ZMOF-derived electrodes under identical conditions.The practical applicability of the CZMOF-based supercapacitor was verified in non-aqueous electrolytes.The initial capacitance retention was 78%after 100000 charge/discharge cycles at 10 A g^(−1).Crucially,the high capacitance of CZMOF2 arises from pore generation during carbonization.Below 1000℃,pore generation is dominated by the Zn/C ratio of ZMOFs,as carbon atoms reduce the zinc oxides formed during carbonization.Above 1000℃,a high O/C ratio becomes essential for pore generation because the oxygen functional groups are pyrolyzed.These findings will provide insightful information for other metal-based MOFderived multifunctional carbons. | Shigeyuki Umezawa Takashi Douura Koji Yoshikawa Daisuke Tanaka Vlad Stolojan S.Ravi P.Silva Mika Yoneda Kazuma Gotoh Yasuhiko Hayashi | 2023 | Energy & Environmental Materials2023,6,2: | 0 |
| 6 | Progress of Pb-Sn Mixed Perovskites for Photovoltaics: A Review显示文摘Pb-Sn mixed perovskites are becoming increasingly popular as narrowbandgap(1.2–1.3 eV)light absorbers in single-junction perovskite solar cells(PSCs)and as bottom cells for all-perovskite tandem solar cells,for highefficiency,low-cost,lightweight,roll-to-roll printable photovoltaic(PV)applications.From the first report of planar Pb:Sn mixed PSCs in 2014,the power conversion efficiencies(PCE)have increased from 10%to 21%by the end of 2020 with an exponential growth in research conducted in this field.Despite much effort,the performance and stability of Pb-Sn mixed PSCs are still limited,which constrains their long-term use in all-perovskite tandem devices.This review highlights the avenues explored in improving different aspects of Pb-Sn mixed PSCs and provides a comprehensive discussion of the interdependent factors affecting the device performance.This includes compositional engineering of the perovskite crystal,absorber layer fabrication and crystallization methods,bandgap tuning,Sn4+reduction,and surface passivation of the absorber layer,as well as the selection of interlayers and electrodes of the final PSC. | Rajapakshe Mudiyanselage Indrachapa Bandara Shashini M.Silva Cameron C.L.Underwood K.D.G.Imalka Jayawardena Radu A.Sporea S.Ravi P.Silva | 2022 | Energy & Environmental Materials2022,5,2: | 0 |
| 7 | Influence of Halide Choice on Formation of Low-Dimensional Perovskite Interlayer in Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells显示文摘Recent advances in heterojunction and interfacial engineering of perovskite solar cells(PSCs)have enabled great progress in developing highly efficient and stable devices.Nevertheless,the effect of halide choice on the formation mechanism,crystallography,and photoelectric properties of the lowdimensional phase still requires further detailed study.In this work,we present key insights into the significance of halide choice when designing passivation strategies comprising large organic spacer salts,clarifying the effect of anions on the formation of quasi-2D/3D heterojunctions.To demonstrate the importance of halide influences,we employ novel neo-pentylammonium halide salts with different halide anions(neoPAX,X=I,Br,or Cl).We find that regardless of halide selection,iodide-based(neoPA)_(2)(FA)_((n-1))PbnI_((3n+1))phases are formed above the perovskite substrate,while the added halide anions diffuse and passivate the perovskite bulk.In addition,we also find the halide choice has an influence on the degree of dimensionality(n).Comparing the three halides,we find that chloride-based salts exhibit superior crystallographic,enhanced carrier transport,and extraction compared to the iodide and bromide analogs.As a result,we report high power conversion efficiency in quasi-2D/3D PSCs,which are optimal when using chloride salts,reaching up to 23.35%,and improving long-term stability. | Xueping Liu Thomas Webb Linjie Dai Kangyu Ji Joel A.Smith Rachel C.Kilbride Mozhgan Yavari Jinxin Bi Aobo Ren Yuanyuan Huang Zhuo Wang Yonglong Shen Guosheng Shao Stephen J.Sweeney Steven Hinder Hui Li David G.Lidzey Samuel D.Stranks Neil C.Greenham S.Ravi P.Silva Wei Zhang | 2022 | Energy & Environmental Materials2022,5,2: | 0 |
| 8 | A functional gel polymer electrolyte based on PVDF-HFP/gelatin toward dendrite-free lithium metal batteries显示文摘The leakage of liquid electrolyte and the formation of lithium dendrites pose challenges to safety and stability of lithium metal batteries(LMBs).The appearance of gel polymer electrolyte(GPE)has obviously improved the safety of traditional LMBs.However,the limited inhibition of GPE on lithium dendrites is detrimental to the safety of LMBs.Herein,a kind of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)(PVDF-HFP)/gelatin(GN)GPE with high ionic conductivity,high-temperature resistance,and flame-retardancy,was prepared by electrospinning and soaking method.Utilizing the electrospinning network of PVDF-HFP,its affinity to liquid electrolytes,makes this GPE more beneficial to ions transport and the formation of gel.And,the GN with sol–gel properties,enhances the mechanical property(13.5 MPa)of HFP-GN GPE.Meanwhile,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and density functional theory(DFT)suggest that the attraction of polar groups of GN to Li+can regulate the distribution of Li+and protect Li anodes.Consequently,the application of HFP-GN GPEs to LMBs with cathodes of LiFePO_(4) and LiCoO_(2) deliver excellent electrochemical performances:after 300 cycles,the LiFePO_(4)/HFP-GN GPE/Li battery keeps a low capacity decay rate of 0.09%at 5 C;after 400 cycles at 2 C,the LiCoO_(2)/HFP-GN GPE/Li cell retains a high capacity retention of 74%.This GPE is demonstrated for the application prospect of safe LMBs. | Xiaoyi Hu Kangli Liu Shijie Zhang Guosheng Shao S.Ravi P.Silva Peng Zhang | 2024 | Nano Research2024,17,4: | 0 |
| 9 | Effect of Surfactants on the Thermoelectric Performance of Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes显示文摘Thermoelectrics are a promising solution to the recovery of some of the 60%of the worldwide energy wasted as heat.However,their conversion efficiency is low and the best performing materials are brittle,toxic,and made of expensive ceramics.The challenge in developing better performing materials is in disrupting the electrical vs thermal conductivity correlation,to achieve low thermal conductivity simultaneously with a high electrical conductivity.Carbon nanotubes allow for the decoupling of the electronic density of states from the phonon density of states and this paper shows that flexible,thin films of double-walled carbon nanotube(DWCNT)can form effective n-and p-doped semiconductors that can achieve a combined Seebeck coefficient of 157.6µV K^(−1),the highest reported for a single DWCNT device to date.This is achieved through selected surfactant doping,whose role is correlated with the length of the hydrocarbon chain of the hydrophobic tail group of the surfactant’s molecules.CNTs functionalized with Triton X-405 show the highest output power consisting of a single junction of p-and n-type thermoelectric elements,reaching as high as 67 nW for a 45 K temperature gradient.Thus enabling flexible,cheaper,and more efficient thermoelectric generators through the use of functionalized CNTs. | Zakaria Saadi Simon G.King Jose V.Anguita Vlad Stolojan S.Ravi P.Silva | 2023 | Energy & Environmental Materials2023,6,1: | 0 |
