Antimony-doped tin oxide films were prepared by sol-gel technique from an ethanolic solution of SnCl4.5H2O and SbCl3. The effect of the addition of acetylacetone as a hydrolysis modifier was investigated. Structural, optical and electrical properties of the films were studied by XRD, FESEM, TEM, FTIR, UV-vis, TG and Hall effect measurements. TEM results showed that antimony-doped tin oxide films consist of well-crystallized grains ranging from 5 to 10 nm. It was found that the addition of the acetylacetone influences positively the film properties. The appropriate addition of acetylacetone allowed for the preparation of films with an optical transmittance as high as 97% in the visible region and 47% at 200 nm. Highly transparent films prepared in this study exhibit an electrical resistivity of 10-3 Ω cm which make them attractive for photovoltaic cell applications.

For chiral gels and related applications, one of the critical issues is how to modulate the stereoselective interaction between the gel and the chiral guest precisely, as well as how to translate this information into the macroscopic properties of materials. Herein, we report that this process can also be modulated by nonchiral solvents, which can induce a chiral‐interaction reversion for organogel formation. This process could be observed through the clear difference in gelation speed and the morphology of the resulting self‐assembly. This chiral effect was successfully applied in the selective separation of quinine enantiomers and imparts “smart” merits to the gel materials.

To investigate the quantitative relationship between the electromagnetic-shielding property of composites and the distribution of inclusions, a scheme for predicting the shielding effectiveness of composites containing variously-distributed flaky inclusions is proposed. The scheme is based on equivalent parameters of homogeneous comparison materials and the plane-wave shielding theory. It leads to expli- cit formulas for the shielding effectiveness of multi-layered composites in terms of microstructural parameters that characterize the shape, distribution and orientation of the inclusions. For single layer composite that contains random and aligned flaky silver-coated carbonyl-iron particles with fractions of different volume, the predicted shielding effectiveness agrees well with the experimental data. As for composites containing aligned flaky particles,the shielding effectiveness obtained by the proposed scheme and experiment data is higher than that the random case, e.g. about 20 dB higher at 750 MHz. The proposed scheme is a straightforward method for optimizing future composite de- signs.

As a layered-structure semiconductor material with wide band gap, MoO 3 has been considered to be a promising candidate for application in gas sensor. Recently, gas sensor based on MoO 3 have been found to have a response towards various gases such as H 2 S, NO 2 , NH 3 , trimethylamine, formaldehyde and H 2 in the temperature range of 300–600 °C. Although MoO 3 films and nanorods are not sensitive to ethanol gas, it is found that the ultralong MoO 3 nanobelts have a good sensitivity and selectivity to ethanol gas in our works. In the present work, the ultralong MoO 3 nanobelts are prepared by hydrothermal method using a molybdenum organic salt precursor. The nanobelts are flexible with an average length of 200-300μm and width of 500nm, which won’t be broken even after bended or distorted. The nanobelts are characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectra. Gas sensor based on ultralong and flexibility MoO 3 nanobelts is then fabricated. The sensor shows a good sensitivity towards ethanol gas, while almost no response towards other reducing gases, such as ammonia and formaldehyde in the temperature range of 220–380 ℃, the detection limit to ethanol gas may reach to 5ppm at the temperature of 380℃, which indicates that this kind of sensor has a promising future for ethanol detection. In conclusion, a gas sensor has been fabricated based on ultralong and flexibility MoO 3 nanobelts, which are prepared by hydrothermal method using a molybdenum organic salt precursor, and it is sensitive to ethanol gas. The reason for the good sensitivity to ethanol may be due to the large specific surface area, axial electron transfer and the non-stoichiometry of MoO 3 nanobelts.

Single-nanowire solar cells have been considered to be the promising candidates as the nanoelectronical and flexibledevices, as they possess large surface-to-volume ratio and short minority carrier’stransferring path. Recently, there is some kinds of heterostructures are used to fabricated single-nanowire solar cells, such as CdS/Cu 2 S, CuInSe 2 /CdS. Among them, cadmium sulfide (CdS) and silver sulfide (Ag 2 S) have been attracted much attention for excellentoptoelectronic property, and surface-passivated is an important process to improve the efficiency. Till now, there is few works focused on the influence of the surface-passivated layer on the photovoltaicefficiency of the CdS/Ag 2 S core-shell single-nanowires solar cells. Herein, CdS nanowires were synthesized via vapor liquid solid(VLS) method, which is used as the core structure. To obtain CdS/Ag 2 S core-shell structure, cation exchange was carried out through mixing CdS solution with AgNO 3 solution.A ZnS passivation layer with the thickness of 0nm was achieved by chemical bath deposition (CBD) process. The single CdS/Ag 2 S core-shell nanowires were separated individually on the regular Au pattern fabricated by the photolithography technique, and then two ends of the nanowires were well contacted with Au electrodes by using the electron beam lithography. X-raydiffraction, SEM, X-ray spectroscopy and TEM techniques were used to character the microstructure, morphology and combining chemical state. The fabricated single-nanowire solar cells were irradiated under AM 1.5G illumination, an efficiency improvement from 1.8% to 2.4%was achieved due to the preventing charge carriers from reaching the surface by surface-passivated layer. In conclusion, CdS/Ag 2 Sheterostructures had been successfully prepared by cation exchange method, achieving an efficiency enhancement by forming the surface-passivated single-nanowire solar cells.
