Summary: Pure and Li-doped CuSCN nano-powders were prepared using an in situ method, and their structural, optical, and electrical properties were investigated. Doping with Li resulted in a decrease in crystallite size, an increase in optical band gap energy, and a decrease in electrical conductivity, thus improving the optoelectronic performance of CuSCN.

Summary: The SrTiO3 perovskites doped with Sm3+, Dy3+, and Nb5+ were prepared using the solid state reaction route (SSR) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. The SPS process in dynamic vacuum resulted in the formation of Ti3+ and Nb4+ species, leading to increased electrical conductivity. Substituting Sr with Sm and Dy effectively reduced the lattice thermal conductivity and increased the electron mobility and electrical conductivity. The thermoelectric measurements showed that the sample with a chemical composition of Sr0.95Sm0.05Ti0.9Nb0.1O3 reached a high figure of merit (zT) value.

Summary: Designing different structures of nanobuds and investigating their formation using DFT-based calculation methods is the focus of this research. IR frequency tests and cohesive energy calculations showed no instability in the formation of the molecules. Electrical examination revealed that the nanobuds exhibit similar behavior to C60, with charge transfer from boron nitride to C60 causing the separation of charge and dipole. Additionally, the interaction of the designed molecules with solvents was explored, revealing dependence on both the solvent's dielectric constant and the molecule type.

Summary: The study achieved an enhanced nonlinear coefficient and reduced breakdown voltage in TiO2 varistor by co-doping nano-sized ZnO and Nb2O5. The improvements were attributed to changes in microstructure and dopants promoting sintering and creating defect ions. The defects influenced the semiconducting properties of the grain and enhanced the grain boundary potential barrier, resulting in increased nonlinear coefficient and decreased breakdown voltage.

Summary: The low contact resistance of carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers is crucial for improving their electrical transport properties. By introducing boron and nitrogen atoms and densifying the fibers, the contact resistance was reduced, leading to remarkable electrical conductivity of up to 5,896 Sm-2/kg. These results mark a significant step towards using CNT fibers as conductive materials.

Summary: In the realm of supramolecular chemistry, the development of synthetic receptors for harmful analytes has attracted significant attention in recent decades. By incorporating urea/thiourea fragments into different frameworks, these receptors can successfully detect fluoride, cyanide, and nerve agents such as tabun with exceptional selectivity. This research aims to explore novel chromo-fluorogenic receptors that not only detect these analytes but also differentiate them from one another.

Summary: In this study, a novel type of D-A non-fused-ring copolymers was designed and synthesized to overcome the trade-off relationship between electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient in organic semiconductors. The incorporation of fluorine atoms into the polymer backbone effectively increased the ordered degree of molecular stacking and improved both the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient. The bimodal orientation of polymers played a crucial role in decoupling the correlation between electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient.

Summary: This research focuses on the versatile substance, polyaniline/layered double hydroxide (PANI@Nd-Co/LDH), under solvothermal conditions. A thorough analysis of its structure and morphology was conducted using various analytical methods. The findings showed that PANI@Nd-Co/LDH exhibited highly sensitive and specific fluorescence detection of Pb(II) and Al(III), outperforming other heavy metal ions. The sensor demonstrated a turn-off fluorescence response for Pb(II) ions and a turn-on fluorescence response for Al(III) ions. The minimum detectable limits (MDL) were determined to be 9.6 nM for Pb(II) and 220 nM for Al(III). PANI@Nd-Co/LDH could be easily regenerated and reused for multiple cycles. The detection mechanisms involved the inner filter effect (IFE) for Pb(II) and the chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect for Al(III). These results highlight the excellent potential of PANI@Nd-Co/LDH in the detection and recognition of Pb(II) and Al(III) ions.
