The development of high-performance tunnel junctions is critical for achieving high efficiency in multi-junction solar cells (MJSC) that can operate at high concentrations. We investigate silicon and tellurium co-doping of InGaAs quantum well inserts in p++-GaAs/n++-GaAs tunnel junctions and report a peak current density as high as 5839 A cm−2 with a series resistance of 5.86 × 10−5 Ω cm2. In addition, we discuss how device performance is affected by the growth temperature, thickness, and V/III ratio in the InGaAs layer. A simulation model indicates that the contribution of trap-assisted tunneling enhances carrier tunneling.

Abstract This study investigated the usability of two drying methods to recover heavy metals contained in manganese nodules. Materials containing harmful heavy metals would be discharged during deep-sea mining processes. To improve the efficiency of future remediation practices, high-performance technology should have to be applied. Herein, two nontoxic and bio-derived substances, alginate and rhamnolipids, were used to form complexes. The complexes formed a complicated alginate-rhamnolipid (Alg-Rh) structure and that could prohibit heavy metals from being discharged by solidifying them within the complex. The content, appearance, composition, and particles of the Alg-Rh complexes formed by two drying methods—freeze-drying and high-temperature drying—were studied. In particular, metal compositions were observed between the different drying methods. These methods were found to provide good potential for remediating high concentrations of target heavy metals. Therefore, these findings can be used as a basis for future remediation technologies, including useful heavy metal recovery and high-efficiency separation.

Abstract Background Anti-myeloperoxidase antibody (anti-MPO) is an important biomarker for anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAVs). However, the complicated operation procedures and insufficient sensitivity of conventional anti-MPO detection methods limit their application in monitoring efficacy of AAVs in clinical diagnosis. Herein, a dual amplified electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor based on multi-function PtCo nanozymes/CdS nanocrystals@graphene oxide (PtCo/CdS@GO) luminophores and K2S2O8/H2O2 coreactants has been fabricated for ultrasensitive detection of anti-MPO. Results PtCo/CdS@GO luminophores as novel signal amplification labels and nanocarriers to load rabbit anti-mouse IgG were synthesized by co-doping with Pt and Co nanozymes simultaneously with several considerable advantages, including astonishing peroxidase-like catalytic activity, high-efficiency luminescence performance and superior stability in aqueous solutions. Meanwhile, upon the K2S2O8/H2O2 coreactants system, benefiting from the efficient peroxidase-like activity of the PtCo/CdS@GO toward H2O2, massive of transient reactive intermediates could react with K2S2O8, thus obtaining higher ECL emission. Therefore, the developed ECL immunosensor for anti-MPO detection displayed good analytical performance with good concentration linearity in the range of 0.02 to 1000 pg/mL and low detection limit down to 7.39 fg/mL. Conclusions The introduction of multi-function PtCo/CdS@GO luminophores into the established ECL immunoassay not only was successfully applied for specific detection of anti-MPO in clinical serum samples, but also provided a completely new concept to design other high-performance luminophores. Meaningfully, the ECL immunoassay strategy held wide potential for biomarkers detection in clinical diagnosis. Graphic abstract
