Article Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors with direct band gaps offer opportunities for constructing ultrathin and compactly integrated light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Current LEDs based on 2D semiconductors mostly work in the visible light spectrum rather than the near-infrared telecommunication band, hindering their incorporation into established applications such as optical computing and communication. In this study, we report on the LED from the bilayer and trilayer phosphorene in the near-infrared regime leveraging the direct bandgap nature of black phosphorus (BP). The layer-number-sensitive electrical field regulation characteristics of bright excitons in bilayer and trilayer phosphorene were revealed. Moreover, the dominating exciton types and emission wavelengths were demonstrated to be dynamically regulated from a single trilayer phosphorene-based LED near 1500 nm by judiciously controlling the electric field and carrier injection conditions. The findings suggest the potential application of 2D semiconductors in miniaturized light source devices operating in the near-infrared telecommunication band.

Objective: To evaluate whether pretreatment strategies targeting the extracellular matrix (ECM), such as DNase I and low-frequency ultrasound, enhance the efficacy of successive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) against Candida albicans biofilms and to assess the effects on biofilm components.

Methods: Forty-eight-hour C. albicans (ATCC 90028) biofilms were treated under four conditions: (I) aPDT [Photodithazine (PDZ) (25 mg/L) for 20 min + Light-Emitting Diode (LED) (660 nm, 18 J/cm²)], (II) DNase+aPDT [5 min with 20 U/mL DNase I before aPDT], (III) sonication+aPDT [7 W, 170-190 J before aPDT], (IV) Dn+So+aPDT.

Blue light, defined as short-wavelength visible light ranging from 400 to 500 nm, is recognized for its high energy within the visible light spectrum. The prevalent use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has significantly increased exposure to blue light. Corneal endothelial cells (CECs) playing a crucial role in maintaining corneal transparency to get clear visual field.

This study presents a novel photovoltaic triboelectric nanogenerator (PTENG) that operates on sliding contacts between n-type (gallium arsenide) GaAs and metal electrodes in the presence of periodic light illumination, which offers harvesting energy synergistically by integrating both photovoltaic and triboelectric effects to enhance the energy output. Using an in-house built test setup with provision of laser illumination, the open-circuit voltage () and short-circuit current () were measured for the n-GaAs semiconductors with different metal contacts (Al and Cu). Under both laser light (630 nm) and without laser light conditions, n-GaAs with aluminum contacts exhibited the highest and values, reaching up to 11.
