Summary: In this study, an organic-inorganic hybrid halide C6H4NH2CuBr2I photoelectrode was fabricated and its photoelectrochemical properties and charge dynamics in aqueous solution were analyzed. The C6H4NH2CuBr2I photoelectrode provided stable photocurrent output in aqueous solution, but its charge diffuse length was considerably lower than that of Pb-based perovskite star materials, resulting in a lower photocurrent compared to the CH3NH3PbI3 halide perovskite.

Summary: This study reports the impact of adding varying loadings of NZF nanoparticles into a TiO2 photoanode on the performance of DSSCs sensitized with natural and commercial dye molecules. The findings show that NZF greatly improves the photoconversion efficiency of the DSSCs, with the greatest improvement observed at an optimum loading of 50% w/w. The improved performance can be attributed to higher dye loading, improved electron transportation, and reduced electron recombination rates.

Summary: Fe and Co co-doped titanate nanowires (TNW) were prepared by hydrothermal methodology to improve their photocatalytic performance. XRD characterization confirmed the presence of Fe and Co in the lattice structure, while XPS analysis identified the existence of Co2+ in addition to Fe2+ and Fe3+. The optical characterization showed that the d-d transitions of Fe and Co influenced the absorption properties of TNW by creating additional 3d energetic levels within the prohibited zone. The photocatalytic evaluation demonstrated that the CoFeTNW sample exhibited the highest activity for the degradation of acetaminophen in the presence or absence of caffeine. The presence of both Co and Fe was found to be essential for the successful removal of acetaminophen and caffeine in TNW.

Summary: This paper reports a solvothermal process for synthesizing rutile TiO2 using a hydrogen reducing atmosphere and vanadium doping technique. The synthesized TiO2 nanowires have a rutile structure with a diameter of about 100 nm and exhibit n-type conductivity. The research results show that the n-type conductivity of rutile TiO2 nanowires can be enhanced under the synergistic effect of reducing atmosphere and V doping. The rutile nanowires with good n-type conductivity have bright application prospects in future nano-electronic devices and nano-photoelectric devices.

Summary: InAs colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) have emerged as candidate lead- and mercury-free solution-processed semiconductors for infrared technology due to their appropriate bulk bandgap and promising charge-carrier transport properties. However, the lack of suitable arsenic precursors and readily accessible synthesis conditions have limited their size and bandgap range. By controlling the reactivity, we have successfully synthesized monodisperse InAs nanorod CQDs with tunable bandgaps.

Summary: In this study, different B2O3 and TeO2 mixed glass samples were prepared and their effects on the structure, optical and radiation shielding properties of glass were investigated. The results showed that the amorphous nature of the glass samples was confirmed and the optical band gap decreased as the TeO2 content increased. The refractive indices increased except for a anomaly at x=30 mol%. The radiation shielding properties of the glass samples were enhanced due to the higher atomic number of Te and the higher density data obtained.

Summary: This study investigated the use of natural dye sensitizers derived from ketum, spinach, curry, papaya, and henna in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). UV-Vis, FTIR, OCVD, and I-V analyses were performed to analyze the natural dye and the fabricated DSSC. It was found that all dye solutions contained important functional groups necessary for dye-to-TiO2 attachment, making them suitable sources of energy harvesting pigments. Among the dye sensitizers tested, the curry-based dye showed the best performance in DSSCs due to its high content of functional groups, optimal pH, and slow back electron recombination properties observed in the OCVD measurements. The open-circuit voltage (VOC), short-circuit current density (JSC), and power conversion efficiency (PCE) were determined to be 0.58 V, 2.48 mA/cm2, and 0.47%, respectively.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of Pandanus amaryllifolius dye on the optical properties of zinc oxide nanoflakes synthesized using the anodization method. ZnO films were synthesized at different applied potentials (4, 8, 12, and 16 V) with a fixed anodization time of 60 min. The samples were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction, Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy, and Field Emission Scanning Microscopy to analyze their crystallinity, UV absorption, and surface morphology. The results revealed that the ZnO sample synthesized at 12 V exhibited the highest XRD intensity for (100), (101), and (110) orientations, and the intensity of the main peak (101) increased by approximately 50% after the adsorption of P. amaryllifolius dye. The FESEM analysis showed that the 12 V ZnO had the most closely packed growth of nanoflakes. In terms of optical properties, the dye-treated sample demonstrated a significant 10% increase in UV absorption between 220-370 nm range.

Summary: In this study, various PVDF-based membranes were successfully fabricated using different carbon-based materials as additives through the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method. The addition of rGO, MWCNTs, GO-MWCNTs hybrid, and TiO2 had significant impacts on the morphology, hydrophilicity, porosity, filtration performance, and antifouling properties of the membranes. Among them, the rGO-based PVDF/TiO2 membrane showed excellent pure water flux and membrane permeability, as well as the highest rejection rate for methylene blue dye. The PVDF@GO-MWCNTs/TiO2 membrane exhibited better antifouling properties, attributed to the hydration layer formed by oxygen-functional groups on its surface.

Summary: Er3+/Ho3+ doped Al2O3-Na2O-TeO2 glasses containing different concentrations of V2O5 were prepared and their structural, optical, and photoluminescence properties were studied. The presence of non-bridging oxygen in the glass network was demonstrated by measuring the relative areas of TeO4 and TeO3. The optical absorption edge analysis showed a decrease in EiOpt due to the prevalence of non-bridging oxygen. The Judd-Ofelt oscillator strength increased with an anomalous drop at x = 1.0 mol% due to the competition between bridging and non-bridging oxygen. The photoluminescence spectra revealed dominant emissions in the green and red regions, with a decrease in intensity as vanadium increased.

Summary: This paper reviews the fabrication of zinc oxide-tin oxide (ZnO-SnO2) nanocomposite in humidity sensors. ZnO and SnO2 have wide energy band gaps, making them suitable for high-quality humidity sensor production. The combined ZnO-SnO2 nanocomposite is a versatile n-type semiconductor with applications in gas sensors, lithium-ion batteries, and photocatalytic degradation. The preparation and characterization of ZnO-SnO2 nanostructure film is relatively easy, and manipulating ZnO and SnO2 can enhance device performances. Therefore, the nanostructure of ZnO-SnO2 is likely to easily measure humidity sensing performance.
