Lead halide perovskite quantum dots, also known as perovskite nanocrystals, are considered one of the most promising photovoltaic materials for solar cells due to their outstanding optoelectronic properties and simple preparation techniques. The key factors restricting the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cell systems are the separation and transmission performances of charge carriers. Here, femtosecond time-resolved ultrafast spectroscopy was used to measure the interfacial charge transfer dynamics of different sizes of CsPbBr assembled with TiO. The effect of perovskite size on the charge transfer is discussed. According to our experimental data analysis, the time constants of the interfacial electron transfer and charge recombination of the assembled systems of CsPbBr and titanium dioxide become larger when the size of the CsPbBr nanocrystals increases. We discuss the physical mechanism by which the size of perovskites affects the rate of charge transfer in detail. We expect that our experimental results provide experimental support for the application of novel quantum dots for solar cell materials.

Heterostructures have emerged as promising contenders for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) applications. Nevertheless, the construction of a composite SERS substrate with well-matched energy levels persists as a challenge, primarily due to the restricted selection of SERS-active materials. In this study, we successfully synthesized a Ag nanoparticles (NPs)/ZnO nanorods (NRs)/GaN heterojunction featuring type II staggered energy bands, which provides an outstanding platform for efficient SERS detection.

The development of novel multijunction heterostructure photocatalysts is critical for the efficient degradation of organic pollutants, attributed to their ability to enhance the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. In our study, a ternary composite, melem/BiVO/g-CN (BVO/CNMH), was synthesized via an acid-soaking method followed by calcination, using g-CN as a sacrificial precursor in the presence of BiVO. This approach yielded a porous, interconnected architecture in BVO/CNMH.

Hard carbon has emerged as the most widely studied and commercialized anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, improving the charge transfer kinetics within the plateau potential range of the hard carbon anode is crucial for the development of fast-charging SIBs. In this study, we prepared a novel composite material, ZAPA-1300, by uniformly mixing starch, asphalt, and zinc oxide (ZnO), followed by a two-step treatment process.

With the trend of heavy and inferior crude oil, the design of hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts with excellent activity and high active metal utilization is an inevitable trend for the upgrading of refining technology. In this study, a highly dispersed Mo catalyst confined within nitrogen-doped porous carbon (xMo@NC) was prepared using an in situ encapsulation-pyrolysis approach and used in the HDS reaction of dibenzothiophene (DBT). The methods of XRD, HRTEM, HAADF-STEM, N physisorption, FT-IR, Raman, and XPS were used to carry out thorough microstructural characterization.
