    Electroluminescence from Silicon-Based Light-Emitting Devices with Erbium-Doped ZnO Films: Strong Enhancement Effect of Titanium Codoping

    No full text
    We report on the visible and near-infrared electroluminescence (EL) from the light-emitting device (LED) based on the erbium (Er)-doped ZnO (ZnO:Er)/SiO2/n+-Si heterostructure, wherein an ∼10 nm thick SiO2 intermediate layer serves as the energy plateau for producing hot electrons, which come from n+-Si via the trap-assisted tunneling mechanism. These hot electrons excite the doped Er3+ ions by inelastic collision, enabling the Er-related EL from the aforementioned LED. More importantly, by means of codoping the appropriate content of titanium (Ti) into the ZnO:Er film, the aforementioned Er-related emissions can be significantly enhanced. The density functional theory calculations indicate that the Ti-codoping improves rather than degrades the symmetry of the crystal field around the optically active Er3+ ions, hence not increasing the intra-4f transition probabilities of Er3+ ions. However, it is found that Ti-codoping nearly eliminates the segregation of Er3+ ions near the ZnO/SiO2 interface. Moreover, Ti-codoping is derived to result in a number of Zn vacancies, which provide the sites for incorporating Er3+ ions in the ZnO matrix. For the above two reasons, the Ti-codoping promotes the incorporation of optically active Er3+ ions into the ZnO matrix, thus enhancing the EL from the aforementioned LED

    High-Entropy Effect Promoting Self-Healing Behavior of Two-Dimensional Metal Oxide Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Evolution Reaction

    No full text
    The irreversible leaching of metal atoms during the alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process greatly hinders the long-term stability of OER catalysts. Self-healing is a promising strategy to address this problem while constructing the highly effective self-healing catalytic system is still challenging. Here, we explore a simple approach by incorporating high-valence metals of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) into a cobalt–iron (Co–Fe)-based oxide modulator. A high-entropy layered oxide catalyst, FeCoMoW, is synthesized using a molten-alkali method. The FeCoMoW catalyst exhibits self-healing capabilities, as demonstrated in the chronoamperometric tests at a high potential. It even shows a reduction of overpotential in a borate buffer (KBi, pH = 14) containing Co2+ undergoing a 100 h long-term stability test or enduring 5000 cycles of cyclic voltammetry test. Importantly, the presence of high-valence metals in the high-entropy materials is found to be essential for self-healing behavior, and the two-dimensional morphology of catalysts is conducive to the catalytic performance. This work introduces a feasible strategy to design cost-effective and robust catalysts with self-healing properties, thereby paving the way for more OER applications
