Summary: Incorporating features of antiferromagnet into a semiconductor core-shell nanowire opens up new possibilities in spintronics. Quantum mechanical prediction shows that Cr-doped nanowire behaves as an antiferromagnetic semiconductor with longer spin coherence length and high ON/OFF current ratio switching feature. This material presents potential for applications in spin-dependent quantum transport.

Summary: This study investigated the upscaling potential of axial junction InP nanowire photovoltaic devices. Device processing was done on a full 2'' wafer, with device sizes up to 1 cm^2, which is a significant increase compared to previous mm-scale III-V nanowire photovoltaic devices. The short-circuit current density of the largest 1 cm^2 devices, with 460 million NWs contacted in parallel, is similar to smaller devices, enabling a record power generation of 6.0 mW, more than ten times higher than previous III-V nanowire photovoltaic devices. However, the fill factor of the larger devices is lower compared to smaller devices, affecting device efficiency.

Summary: We report the design and synthesis of a Type III porous liquid (PL) containing stable 480 nm cavities. By constructing a single crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF) through chemical etching, the PL is able to reversibly host and release up to 27 wt % water and exhibit a large change in thermal conductivity when switching between dry state and wet state, making it a potential candidate for applications.

Summary: Monolayer MoS2 is expected to become a mainstream 2D semiconductor for opto-electronic sensing. However, its low quantum efficiency and weak light absorption have led to a need for effective routes to manipulate light-matter interaction. All-dielectric nanostructures, such as the integrated Si nanogrooves, offer a promising platform for enhancing photoluminescence (PL) and achieving angle-dependent polarization states, which can be applied to information encryption.

Summary: This study reports the fabrication of core-shell structured SiNW photoelectrodes loaded with non-noble metal Bi and Sn co-catalysts for CO2 reduction to formate. The results show that Bi-Sn/SiNW photocathodes exhibit higher formate yield and selectivity compared to electrodes modified with only Bi or Sn. Experimental analysis and computational results demonstrate that the reasonable band structure formed by Si and the two co-catalysts Bi and Sn improve the migration of photogenerated electrons, thus promoting the efficient and selective CO2 reduction reaction to formate. This work lays the foundation for composite photocathodes with multiple co-catalysts for synergistic catalysis, addressing the challenges related to CO2 reduction and sustainable energy development.
