Summary: In this research, the doctor blade coating method was used to prepare dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and dope the original titanium dioxide (TiO2, P25) photoanode (PA) with single-layer graphene (G), graphene quantum dots (GQDs), and gold (Au) nanoparticles. Doping with G, GQDs, and Au effectively increased the short-circuit current density (J(sc)), conversion efficiency (eta), and decreased the internal structure impedance (R-k) of DSSCs. The photoanode of the DSSC effectively activated the photogenerated electrons in the film by doping single-layer graphene, and TiO2 captured its electrons through graphene, resulting in improved efficiency of DSSCs.

Summary: The researchers built TiO2 cavities on the top of the TiO2 NP layer using carbonaceous microspheres as the template, forming TiO2 cavity/nanoparticle (C/NP) photoelectrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The optimized TiO2 C/NP electrode with 25 wt.% carbonaceous microspheres showed significant improvement in short-circuit current density (J(sc)) and power conversion efficiency (PCE), achieving a PCE of 9.08%, which is over 98% higher than that of the TiO2 NP electrode. Further investigations revealed that the enhancement in PCE is attributed to the competition between light scattering effect and charges recombination in the TiO2 C/NP photoelectrode.

Summary: This study investigates the effective thermal conductivity of SiC foam ceramics at high temperatures using the steady plane heat source method. The results show that the effective thermal conductivity decreases with increasing pore density and stacking thickness, but increases significantly at heat source temperatures above 200 degrees C. In the case of modular SiC foam ceramics, increasing the average pore density and sudden changes in pore density between ceramic sheets do not promote an increase in effective thermal conductivity.

Summary: UV-charged optical stimulated single-band phosphors are commonly used for single-level optical data storage. However, UV-visible-NIR rechargeable optical stimulated double-band phosphors are urgently needed for multiplexed high-throughput optical data storage. In this study, the authors designed and synthesized a Mn2+,Cr3+ co-doped zinc gallate phosphor that exhibits strong red-green bicolor persistent luminescence (PersL) and can be charged by visible and NIR light. The temperature-dependent intensity of red and green PersL, along with the mechanism based on different trap types and filling approaches, are proposed. This phosphor shows great potential for wavelength multiplexing in optical data storage.

Summary: Infrared cameras can be used in automotive applications for breakthrough perception systems. Low-cost and high-throughput manufacturing methods are essential for the growth of thermal imaging markets. Chalcogenide glasses have cost advantages and can be used for optics, but designing high-performance lenses with a limited number of optics becomes more challenging as the pixel pitch decreases. High index Chalcogenide lenses, such as TGG and TGS, have the potential to meet the optical system needs of automobiles.

Summary: An alternative synthesis method for high refractive index telluride-based glasses was experimented and characterized. The composition Ge25Se10Te65 showed a refractive index of 3.12 and overall optical, thermal, and mechanical properties that make it suitable for IR applications. However, the formation of GeTe crystals during mechanical alloying hindered transparency in the sintered samples. Melt-quenched glass samples were used to determine optimal sintering parameters and it was found that carbon contamination reduced transparency, with a powder granulometry above 100 μm being critical for limiting this pollution.

Summary: This article presents the results of a systematic study on the electrochemical performance and mechanical changes in two types of commercial batteries with different anode chemistry. The study reveals that the swelling of anode layers in batteries with silicon-based components causes deformations in the jelly roll structure, but the presence of a small percentage of silicon does not significantly impact the cycling performance of the cells within the relevant state-of-health range for electric vehicles (EVs). The research suggests that there is room for improving the cell capacities by increasing the silicon loading in composite anodes to meet the increasing demands on EVs.

Summary: By coupling electrochemical testing to operando synchrotron based X-ray absorption and powder diffraction experiments, blended positive electrodes consisting of LiMn2O4 spinel (LMO) and layered LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2 (NMC) were studied to understand their redox mechanism. It was found that blending NMC with LMO can enhance energy density at high rates, with the blend containing 25% LMO showing the best performance. Testing with a special electrochemical setup revealed that the effective current load on each blend component can vary significantly from the nominal rate and also changes with SoC. Operando studies allowed monitoring of the oxidation state evolution and changes in crystal structure, in line with the expected behavior of individual components considering their electrochemical current loads.
