In this paper, an Ag/MoO3 composite system was cosputtered by Ar plasma bombardment on a polystyrene (PS) colloidal microsphere array. The MoO3 formed by this method contained abundant oxygen vacancy defects, which provided a channel for charge transfer in the system and compensated for the wide band gap of MoO3. Various characterization methods strongly demonstrated the existence of oxygen vacancy defects and detected the properties of oxygen vacancies. 4-Aminothiophenol (p-aminothiophenol, PATP) was used as a candidate surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probe molecule to evaluate the contribution of the oxygen vacancy defects in the Ag/MoO3 composite system. Interestingly, oxygen vacancy defects are a kind of charge channel, and their powerful effect is fully reflected in their SERS spectra. Increasing the number of charge channels and increasing the utilization rate of the channels caused the frequency of SERS characteristic peaks to shift. This interesting phenomenon opens up a new horizon for the study of SERS in oxygen-containing semiconductors and provides a powerful reference for the study of PATP.

ZnO nanoneedles were deposited on the chemically etched silicon nanowires via simple low temperature hydrothermal process in this paper. The morphology, structure and optical properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), and Raman spectrum, respectively. The XRD pattern reveals a wurtzite structure for the ZnO nanoneedles. And SEM results show that the ZnO nanoneedles have a length of ∼ 400 nm with an average tip diameter of ∼ 5 nm and a base diameter of ∼ 50 nm. Meanwhile, the PL results show that the nanoneedles have wide band emission. Furthermore, the Raman results confirmed that the ultrafine nanoneedles have high surface area and surface defects. The wide band emission of ZnO nanoneedles suggests that it might serve as a potential host for white-light-emitting materials.

ABSTRACTReaction centers (RCs) from natural photosynthetic cells are photoactive proteins, which generate electron-hole pairs in presence of light. In a new approach presented in this work, a solution of suspended RCs with mediators has been applied as the electrolyte to build electrochemical based photovoltaic (PV) devices. In this approach, the mediators transfer charges from the RCs to the electrodes (indirect charge transfer). Various metallic and wide bandgap semiconducting materials, including Carbon, Au, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), SnO2, WO3, have been tested as the electrodes. Among all WO3, which is a semiconductor, have shown the largest photocurrent density with an amount of ∼5.1 μA/cm2. The results show that the material of the electrode can affect the rates of the reactions in the cell. Choosing an appropriate material for the electrode, the charge transfer from the mediators to the electrode would be rectified to achieve a large photocurrent.

This paper reports functionalized zinc sulphide (ZnS) semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots, approx., 2.5 nm) which are an important building block in self-assembled nanostructures. ZnS is functionalized by organic stabilizer Thio glycolic acid (TGA). The samples have been synthesized by colloidal technique at relatively low temperature (below 100°C) at an atmospheric pressure of 10−3 torr. Manganese (Mn) doping ions have been incorporated (doped) in ZnS host lattice and observed its effect on growth morphology and optical properties of ZnS colloidal nanocrystals. By XRD, SEM, TEM, and PL, the obtained cubic phase nanosized TGA-capped ZnS materials were characterized. The morphology of ZnS obtained at different temperatures are analyzed by SEM. The crystallite size of the ZnS nanoparticles was estimated from the X-ray diffraction pattern by using Scherrer’s formula (approximately 2.5 nm) which is confirmed by TEM. The estimated bandgap value of ZnS NC’s by ()2 versus plot was 4.89 eV. Gaussian fitting curve in photoluminescence (PL) spectra indicated room temperature emission wavelength range from 300 to 500 nm in undoped and Mn-doped ZnS, with different emission peak intensities, and suggested the wide band emission colours in visible and near UV region which has wider applications in optical devices.
