As an emerging antiferroelectric material, AgNbO3 holds promise in various applications like sensors, high-density data storage, and energy conversion. Understanding its structural behavior under high pressure is vital for establishing a phase diagram, which is of importance for properties design of antiferroelectric materials. However, the detailed phase structures of representative AgNbO3 under high pressures were still under debate. Hence, we investigated high-pressure structural evolution of AgNbO3 using Raman spectroscopy, in situ high-pressure synchrotron x-ray diffraction, and ab initio density-functional theory. The results revealed a transition path of Pbcm→Cmcm→Pm3¯m with the increases of pressures. The AgNbO3 initially exhibited an orthorhombic structure with the Pbcm space group at ambient pressure, transitioning to Cmcm at 5.83 GPa. With further pressure increasing to 9.89 GPa, a second cubic phase with the Pm3¯m space group could be observed. The coexistence of Cmcm and Pm3¯m phases transformed into a pure Pm3¯m structure at around 16.71 GPa. Ab initio density-functional theory validated the phase transition path with high pressures. The structural transformations were mainly driven by the pressure-induced movement of Ag ions and oxygen octahedron rotations. These findings carry significant implications for the design and optimization of devices operating under high pressures.

The NH 2 -graphene/polyaniline composites are synthesized by in situ electropolymerization of aniline monomer and NH 2 -functionalized graphene (“NH 2 -graphene”) sheets in acidic electrolyte solution by constant-potential coulometry. Cyclic voltammetry and FTIR analyses confirm the covalent attachment of polyaniline backbone onto NH 2 -graphene in the composite. Having the same functional moieties (NH 2 -group), the polyaniline nanofibers are grafted laterally forming ’synapses’ resulting in improved charge-transfer reaction and stability of the composite. This link is believed to be ’phenazine-like’ microstructure formed at the edges of graphene sheets as evidenced by SEM and TEM images. The voltammograms of the NH 2 -graphene/polyaniline composite films coated onto pencil lead graphite electrodes (PLGE) exhibit remarkable increase in the current density relative to the bare PLGE and polyaniline-coated PLGEs. Based on the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements, the enhancement in the electrochemical properties of the composite may be due to the good chargetransfer redox activity of polyaniline fibers that are grafted onto the NH 2 -graphene sheet. The composite film also demonstrated photo-responsive property which could be useful for sensing or photovoltaic cell design.

Experiments have shown that the light-emission efficiency of indium gallium nitride [(In,Ga)N] light-emitting diodes improves with increasing indium concentration. It is widely thought that compositional fluctuations due to indium incorporation suppress diffusion of carriers to nonradiative centers, thus leading to defect-insensitive emission. However, recent experiments have challenged this hypothesis by revealing unexpectedly long diffusion lengths at room temperature. Here, we demonstrate an alternative mechanism involving the correlated reduction in radiative and nonradiative recombination rates that explains the increase in light-emission efficiency of (In,Ga)N with increasing indium concentration, without invoking the suppression of carrier diffusion. Our analysis challenges the notion that carrier localization gives rise to defect tolerance in (In,Ga)N.
