High performance p-GaN/oxide layer/n-GaN ultraviolet (UV) photodetector was fabricated in this paper. The UV detector composed of n-GaN and p-GaN film with oxide layer which was constructed by directly contacting way. The detector based on GaN p-GaN/oxide layer/n-GaN structure showed high UV response with fast speed. The results indicated that the fabrication of large-scale GaNbased materials was greatly facilitated with relatively low cost contacting method. Furthermore, it offered a new method to obtain UV detector for GaN-based materials with high performance.

A simple two-step aqueous method was employed to grow MgO nanostructures on ZnO/sapphire at low temperature. The obtained thin MgO nanostructures were uniformly distributed on the surface of ZnO layer and showed the sheet-like structures. Meanwhile, an ultraviolet (UV) photodetector based on ITO/MgO/ZnO structures was fabricated by simple way. The obtained UV detector showed excellent UV sensing properties. This novel method will greatly facilitate fabrication of large-scale metal-insulator-semiconductor with relatively low cost at remarkably low temperature.

A simple two-step aqueous method was employed to grow NiO nanostructures on ZnO/sapphire at low temperature. The obtained NiO nanostructures were uniformly distributed on the surface of ZnO/sapphire substrates and showed sheet-like structures. Meanwhile, ultraviolet (UV) photodetector based on NiO/ZnO heterojunction was fabricated by a simple way. The obtained UV detector based on the NiO nanosheets/ZnO heterostructure showed excellent UV sensing properties due to the increased surface and local [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] junction area. It will facilitate greatly the fabrication of large-scale NiO/ZnO heterostructure with relatively low cost at remarkably low temperature.

Abstract High-performance low-cost flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) are desirable for applications such as internet of things and wearable electronics. Carbon nanotube (CNT) thin-film transistor (TFT) is a promising candidate for high-performance FHE because of its high carrier mobility, superior mechanical flexibility, and material compatibility with low-cost printing and solution processes. Flexible sensors and peripheral CNT-TFT circuits, such as decoders, drivers, and sense amplifiers, can be printed and hybrid-integrated with thinned (<50 μm) silicon chips on soft, thin, and flexible substrates for a wide range of applications, from flexible displays to wearable medical devices. Here, we report (1) a process design kit (PDK) to enable FHE design automation for large-scale FHE circuits and (2) solution process-proven intellectual property blocks for TFT circuits design, including Pseudo-Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (Pseudo-CMOS) flexible digital logic and analog amplifiers. The FHE-PDK is fully compatible with popular silicon design tools for design and simulation of hybrid-integrated flexible circuits.

A flexible UV detector exhibits high performance. The photoresponse of the device under different upward angles (tensile strain) and downward angles (compressive strain) were studied. A 163% change in responsivity was obtained when the downward angle reached 60°.

Abstract Zinc-based redox flow batteries (ZRFBs) have been considered as ones of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies owing to their low cost, high safety, and environmental friendliness. However, their commercial application is still hindered by a few key problems. First, the hydrogen evolution and zinc dendrite formation cause poor cycling life, of which needs to ameliorated or overcome by finding suitable anolytes. Second, the stability and energy density of catholytes are unsatisfactory due to oxidation, corrosion, and low electrolyte concentration. Meanwhile, highly catalytic electrode materials remain to be explored and the ion selectivity and cost efficiency of membrane materials demands further improvement. In this review, we summarize different types of ZRFBs according to their electrolyte environments including ZRFBs using neutral, acidic, and alkaline electrolytes, then highlight the advances of key materials including electrode and membrane materials for ZRFBs, and finally discuss the challenges and perspectives for the future development of high-performance ZRFBs.

Carbon materials are generally employed as supercapacitor electrodes due to their low- cost, high-chemical stability and environmental friendliness. However, the design of carbon structures with large surface area and controllable porous structure remains a daunt challenge. In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) hybrid aerogel with different contents of MoS2 nanosheets in 3D graphene aerogel (MoS2-GA) was synthesized through a facial hydrothermal process. The influences of MoS2 content on microstructure and subsequently on electrochemical properties of MoS2-GA are systematically investigated and an optimized mass ratio with MoS2: GA of 1:2 is chosen to achieve high mechanical robustness and outstanding electrochemical performance in the hybrid structure. Due to the large specific surface area, porous structure and continuous charge transfer network, such MoS2-GA electrodes exhibit high specific capacitance, good rate capability and excellent cyclic stability, showing great potential in large-scale and low-cost fabrication of high-performance supercapacitors.

The need for clean and efficient energy storage has become the center of attention due to the eminent global energy crisis and growing ecological concerns. A key component in this effort is the ultra-high performance battery, which will play a major role in the energy industry. To meet the demands in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage systems, it is necessary to prepare advanced batteries with high safety, fast charge ratios, and discharge capabilities at a low cost. Cathode materials play a significant role in determining the performance of batteries. Among the possible electrode materials is vanadium pentoxide, which will be discussed in this review, due to its low cost and high theoretical capacity. Additionally, aqueous electrolytes, which are environmentally safe, provide an alternative approach compared to organic media for safe, cost-effective, and scalable energy storage. In this review, we will reveal the industrial potential of competitive methods to grow cathodes with excellent stability and enhanced electrochemical performance in aqueous media and lay the foundation for the large-scale production of electrode materials.
