Summary: This study presents the design and fabrication of a photoanode composed of Au/SnS/TiO2 sensitized with natural dye for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). By calcination, a layer of spherical nano-TiO2 is prepared, and a layer of nano-SnS is deposited on the TiO2 photoanode using the continuous ion layer adsorption reaction (SILAR). The sensitized Au nanoparticles exhibit enhanced localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effects and electron trapping ability, resulting in improved electron mobility and reduced electron recombination in the DSSC.

Summary: The impact of various TiO2 nanostructures on the properties of photoanodes and the photovoltaic parameters of dye-sensitized solar cells was investigated. It was found that the addition of nanotubes to the photoanode resulted in the highest UV-Vis absorption, indicating a higher number of sensitizer molecules anchored to the titanium dioxide. This led to the highest power conversion efficiency in the solar cells containing nanotubes and a mixture of dyes with a co-adsorbent.

Summary: The study introduces a novel and uncomplicated wet-chemical method at room temperature for the self seeding preparation of three-dimensional hierarchically branched rutile TiO2 nanostructures. The technique utilizes titanate nanotubes as the precursor and employs a dissolution/precipitation/recrystallization process to obtain spindle-like rutile TiO2 and intermediate anatase phase, which serve as the substrates and nucleation precursor to grow the branches, resulting in the formation of 3D hierarchically branched rutile TiO2. When used as the photoanode in dye-sensitized solar cells, the hierarchical TiO2 exhibits a significantly improved power conversion efficiency of 8.32%, surpassing a typical TiO2 (P25) nanoparticle-based reference cell (eta = 5.97%) with the same film thickness. The exceptional performance is attributed to the effective combination of robust light scattering, substantial dye loading, and fast electron transport in the hierarchically branched rutile TiO2 nanostructures.

Summary: This study demonstrates the tuning of ZnO nanosheet-nanowire morphology by adjusting the NaOH concentration in a low-temperature chemical bath, resulting in a variety of nano/microstructures with different sizes and aspect ratios. Photoluminescence spectra were mainly influenced by violet emission from Zn interstitial related defects formed during growth.

Summary: This study confirms that the incorporation of carbon black can improve the thermoelectric performance of conducting polymers. By mixing carbon black with the polymer, the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient can be increased. The ternary composite with 30 wt% carbon black exhibits the most promising properties, and the enhancement in power factor and figure of merit is attributed to the energy filtering effect and strong non-covalent interactions.

Summary: Flexible thermoelectric devices have the potential to generate noiseless, perennial, and widespread electricity from human body temperature energy. SnS, a p-type semiconducting material, is highly regarded for its low thermal conductivity and high Seebeck coefficient. In this study, SnS and SnSSex (x = 0.05, 0.075, and 0.1) samples were synthesized via hydrothermal method and coated on carbon fabric for flexible thermoelectric applications. XRD results confirmed the crystal structure and formation of SnS and Se-doped SnS. HRSEM and HRTEM revealed the distribution of elements and morphology of the materials. Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity were measured in the temperature range of 303-373 K. The highest electrical conductivity of 85.5 S/cm was achieved for SnSSe0.075 at 373 K, and the highest power factor of 1.56 mu W/mK(2) was obtained for SnSSe0.1 at 373 K.

Summary: Recently, SnSe-based thermoelectric materials with environment-friendly properties have attracted significant attention. In this study, Al-doped SnSe (Sn1-xAlxSe) specimens were prepared using ball milling and spark plasma sintering. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis confirmed the presence of various crystal defects and dislocations induced by Al doping in the nanostructured (Sn1-xAlxSe) samples. The Sn0.92Al0.08Se samples exhibited lower thermal conductivity (0.63 W/mK at 750 K) compared to pristine SnSe (1.14 W/mK at 750 K), mainly due to the presence of different crystal defects and the excellent anharmonic bonding nature of SnSe. The SAS-2 sample showed the highest electrical conductivity, which correlated well with the low activation energy of 0.20 eV. The minimal Al doping (SAS-2) decoupled the strong interdependency of electrical and thermal transport properties, resulting in a maximum ZT value of 0.18 at 743 K. The Al-doped SnSe (Sn1-xAlxSe) introduced point defects in the sample, providing a new strategy for waste heat recovery.

Additionally, the TiO2/rGO/Ag photocatalyst demonstrated effective degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye molecules and mineralization of total organic compounds (TOC) in aqueous solution under sunlight irradiation.

Summary: The solid solution of SnSe0.75S0.25 has the potential to improve thermoelectric performance through ultra-low thermal conductivity, achieved by introducing disordered atoms of selenium and sulfur. High energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering were used to prepare SnSe0.75S0.25 and Cu-doped SnSe0.75S0.25 compounds. The presence of S in the Se site induced mass fluctuation, resulting in high-frequency phonon scattering and a remarkably low thermal conductivity value at 753 K. Cu dopant was selected to enhance the electrical conductivity and induce nanoprecipitates of Cu2Se inside the grains, further strengthening phonon scattering and lowering the thermal conductivity.

Summary: In this study, Ag-deficient Ag2Se was prepared using a hydrothermal method and hot-press densification process, and the effect on thermoelectric properties was investigated. The research found that increasing the Ag content led to an increase in the calculated density of states effective mass (m*), resulting in an enhanced maximum zT of 0.43 at 393 K for Ag1.99Se. Furthermore, the complex nanostructures including grain boundaries, nanograins, and lattice distortions in Ag2-xSe contributed to reduced thermal conductivity (kappa) in the range of 0.9-1.1 W m(-1) K-1 at 303 K. The aim was to improve the thermoelectric performance of Ag2-xSe for room temperature applications.

Summary: This study focused on the semihydrogenation of acetylene in an ethylene-rich stream using two alloyed Pt catalysts PtCu and PtCo. The PtCu catalyst showed higher activity and ethylene yield compared to PtCo due to its higher unoccupied Pt d-orbital density.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
