Summary: The study examines the dynamic magnetic susceptibility of a model ferrofluid at very low concentration and different dipolar coupling constants using Brownian dynamics simulations. As the coupling constant lambda increases, the structural motifs in the system change, leading to qualitative changes in the static susceptibility and frequency spectrum. Different features are observed in the spectrum at different lambda values, with peak frequencies corresponding to intracluster motions accurately computed using a simple theory.

Summary: Hierarchical CuO/δ-MnO2 micro-flowers with adjustable Cu/Mn molar ratios were fabricated to improve acetone oxidation activity. The optimal acetone oxidation activity was achieved with Cu/Mn at 1.0 mol.%, showing 100% CO2 selectivity and 100% acetone conversion at 160 degrees C. This activity can be attributed to the structural features, large surface area, increased oxygen vacancies and Mn4+ cations, and enhanced redox ability of the hierarchical micro-flowers. The catalyst also exhibited excellent long-term stability and strong water resistance, suggesting promising potential for VOCs elimination.

Summary: Uniform and well-defined cadmium sulfide@cadmium selenide core/shell quantum dots (CdS@CdSe QDs) were successfully synthesized for the first time using a solvothermal method and chemical bath growth. The as-synthesized CdS@CdSe QDs exhibit superior self-powered photoresponse behavior, excellent stability, and significantly improved current densities and photoresponsivity compared to individual CdS QDs or CdSe QDs. These properties are mainly attributed to the built-in electric field, suggesting great potential in the fields of renewable energy and carbon neutrality target achievement.

Summary: This paper investigates the use of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) as an absorber material and CdS as a buffer layer in thin film solar cells. However, CdS has toxicity and poor band alignment with CZTS. As an alternative, ZnSnO (ZTO) is used as a buffer layer due to its abundance and non-toxic nature. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is employed to deposit ZTO with different compositions and thicknesses. The results show that ALD can produce compact and homogeneous ZTO layers without the need for the i-ZnO layer, leading to a simpler and more eco-friendly solar cell structure with comparable efficiencies to the traditional one.
