MoS₂-Decorated/Integrated Carbon Fiber: Phase Engineering Well-Regulated Microwave Absorber.

ABSTRACT: Phase engineering is an important strategy to modulate the electronic structure of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂). MoS₂-based composites are usually used for the electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorber, but the effect of different phases on the EMW absorbing performance, such as 1T and 2H phase, is still not studied. In this work, micro-1T/2H MoS₂ is achieved via a facile one-step hydrothermal route, in which the 1T phase is induced by the intercalation of guest molecules and ions. The EMW absorption mechanism of single MoS₂ is revealed by presenting a comparative study between 1T/2H MoS₂ and 2H MoS₂. As a result, 1T/2H MoS₂ with the matrix loading of 15% exhibits excellent microwave absorption property than 2H MoS₂. Furthermore, taking the advantage of 1T/2H MoS₂, a flexible EMW absorbers that ultrathin 1T/2H MoS₂ grown on the carbon fiber also performs outstanding performance only with the matrix loading of 5%. This work offers necessary reference to improve microwave absorption performance by phase engineering and design a new type of flexible electromagnetic wave absorption material to apply for the portable microwave absorption electronic devices.

MoS2-Decorated Graphene@porous Carbon Nanofiber Anodes via Centrifugal Spinning.

Project description:Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries as green energy storage devices because of their similar working principles and the abundance of low-cost sodium resources. Nanostructured carbon materials are attracting great interest as high-performance anodes for SIBs. Herein, a simple and fast technique to prepare carbon nanofibers (CNFs) is presented, and the effects of carbonization conditions on the morphology and electrochemical properties of CNF anodes in Li- and Na-ion batteries are investigated. Porous CNFs containing graphene were fabricated via centrifugal spinning, and MoS2 were decorated on graphene-included porous CNFs via hydrothermal synthesis. The effect of MoS2 on the morphology and the electrode performance was examined in detail. The results showed that the combination of centrifugal spinning, hydrothermal synthesis, and heat treatment is an efficient way to fabricate high-performance electrodes for rechargeable batteries. Furthermore, CNFs fabricated at a carbonization temperature of 800 °C delivered the highest capacity, and the addition of MoS2 improved the reversible capacity up to 860 mAh/g and 455 mAh/g for Li- and Na-ion batteries, respectively. A specific capacity of over 380 mAh/g was observed even at a high current density of 1 A/g. Centrifugal spinning and hydrothermal synthesis allowed for the fabrication of high-performance electrodes for sodium ion batteries.

Lightweight and High-Performance Microwave Absorber Based on 2D WS2-RGO Heterostructures.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are categorized as a new class of microwave absorption (MA) materials owing to their high specific surface area and peculiar electronic properties. In this study, 2D WS2-reduced graphene oxide (WS2-rGO) heterostructure nanosheets were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process; moreover, their dielectric and MA properties were reported for the first time. Remarkably, the maximum reflection loss (RL) of the sample-wax composites containing 40 wt% WS2-rGO was - 41.5 dB at a thickness of 2.7 mm; furthermore, the bandwidth where RL < - 10 dB can reach up to 13.62 GHz (4.38-18 GHz). Synergistic mechanisms derived from the interfacial dielectric coupling and multiple-interface scattering after hybridization of WS2 with rGO were discussed to explain the drastically enhanced microwave absorption performance. The results indicate these lightweight WS2-rGO nanosheets to be potential materials for practical electromagnetic wave-absorbing applications.

A Photoelectric-Stimulated MoS2 Transistor for Neuromorphic Engineering.

Project description:The von Neumann bottleneck has spawned the rapid expansion of neuromorphic engineering and brain-like networks. Synapses serve as bridges for information transmission and connection in the biological nervous system. The direct implementation of neural networks may depend on novel materials and devices that mimic natural neuronal and synaptic behavior. By exploiting the interfacial effects between MoS2 and AlOx, we demonstrate that an h-BN-encapsulated MoS2 artificial synapse transistor can mimic the basic synaptic behaviors, including EPSC, PPF, LTP, and LTD. Efficient optoelectronic spikes enable simulation of synaptic gain, frequency, and weight plasticity. The Pavlov classical conditioning experiment was successfully simulated by electrical tuning, showing associated learning behavior. In addition, h-BN encapsulation effectively improves the environmental time stability of our devices. Our h-BN-encapsulated MoS2 artificial synapse provides a new paradigm for hardware implementation of neuromorphic engineering.

Ultrafast Yb-Doped Fiber Laser Using Few Layers of PdS2 Saturable Absorber.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials have exceptional optoelectronic and structural properties, which allow them to be utilized in several significant applications in energy, catalyst, and high-performance optoelectronic devices. Among other properties, the nonlinear optical properties are gaining much attention in the research field. In this work, a unique pentagonal TMD material, palladium disulfide (PdS2), is employed as a saturable absorber (SA) in an ytterbium-doped fiber (YDF) laser cavity and mode-locked laser pulse is generated. At first, liquid phase exfoliation is performed to prepare PdS2 nanoflakes. Afterward, the PdS2-nanoflakes solution was incorporated in the side-polished fiber (SPF) to form SPF-based PdS2-SA. By utilizing this SA, a highly stable mode-locked laser pulse is realized at pump power of 160 mW, which has a center wavelength of 1033 nm and a 3-dB spectral bandwidth of 3.7 nm. Moreover, the pulse duration, maximum power output and corresponding single-pulse energy were determined as 375 ps, 15.7 mW and 0.64 nJ, respectively. During the experiment, the mode-locked pulse remained stable till the pump power reached a value of 400 mW and, for the regulation of power, the slope efficiency is calculated at about 4.99%. These results indicate that PdS2 material is a promising nonlinear optical material for ultrafast optical applications in the near-infrared (NIR) region.

Coupled Charge Transfer Dynamics and Photoluminescence Quenching in Monolayer MoS2 Decorated with WS2 Quantum Dots.

Project description:Herein, we have investigated the tunability of the photoluminescence (PL) of the monolayer MoS2 (1L-MoS2) by decorating it with WS2 quantum dots (WS2 QD). The direct bandgap 1L-MoS2 and WS2 QDs are grown by chemical vapor deposition and liquid exfoliation methods, respectively. The room temperature PL spectrum of bare 1L-MoS2 is systematically quenched with its decoration with WS2 QDs at different concentrations. A decrease in the work function of 1L-MoS2 with the decoration of WS2 QDs was established from the Kelvin probe force microscopy analysis. A detailed quantitative analysis using the four-energy level model involving coupled charge transfer was employed to explain the redshift and the systematic decrease in the intensity of the PL peak in 1L-MoS2/WS2 QD heterostructure. The modulation of the PL in the heterostructure is attributed to the increase in the formation of negative trions through the charge transfer from WS2 QD to the 1L-MoS2 and thus making the 1L-MoS2 heavily n-type doped, with increase in the electron density by ~1.5 × 1013 cm-2. This study establishes the contribution of defects in the coupled charge transfer dynamics in 1L-MoS2, and it lays out a convenient strategy to manipulate the optical and electrical properties of 1L-MoS2 for various optoelectronic applications.

Visible Light-Driven Photoelectrocatalytic Water Splitting Using Z-Scheme Ag-Decorated MoS2/RGO/NiWO4 Heterostructure.

Project description:Herein, we have successfully constructed a solid-state Z-scheme photosystem with enhanced light absorption capacity by combining the optoelectrical properties of AgNPs with those of the MoS2/RGO/NiWO4 (Ag-MRGON) heterostructure. The Ag-MRGON Z-scheme system demonstrates improved photo-electrochemical (PEC) water-splitting performance in terms of applied bias photon-to-current conversion efficiency (ABPE), which is 0.52%, and 17.3- and 4.3-times better than those of pristine MoS2 and MoS2/NiWO4 photoanodes, respectively. The application of AgNPs as an optical property enhancer and RGO as an electron mediator improved the photocurrent density of Ag-MRGON to 3.5 mA/cm2 and suppressed the charge recombination to attain the photostability of ∼2 h. Moreover, the photocurrent onset potential of the Ag-MRGON heterojunction (i.e., 0.61 VRHE) is cathodically shifted compared to those of NiWO4 (0.83 VRHE), MoS2 (0.80 VRHE), and MoS2/NiWO4 heterojunction (0.73 VRHE). The improved PEC water-splitting performance in terms of ABPE, photocurrent density, and onset potential is attributed to the facilitated charge transfer through the RGO mediator, the plasmonic effect of AgNPs, and the proper energy band alignments with the thermodynamic potentials of hydrogen and oxygen evolution.

Transparent Perfect Microwave Absorber Employing Asymmetric Resonance Cavity.

Project description:The demand for high-performance absorbers in the microwave frequencies, which can reduce undesirable radiation that interferes with electronic system operation, has attracted increasing interest in recent years. However, most devices implemented so far are opaque, limiting their use in optical applications that require high visible transparency. Here, a scheme is demonstrated for microwave absorbers featuring high transparency in the visible range, near-unity absorption (?99.5% absorption at 13.75 GHz with 3.6 GHz effective bandwidth) in the Ku-band, and hence excellent electromagnetic interference shielding performance (?26 dB). The device is based on an asymmetric Fabry-Pérot cavity, which incorporates a monolayer graphene and a transparent ultrathin (8 nm) doped silver layer as absorber and reflector, and fused silica as the middle dielectric layer. Guided by derived formulism, this asymmetric cavity is demonstrated with microwaves near-perfectly and exclusively absorbs in the ultrathin graphene film. The peak absorption frequency of the cavity can be readily tuned by simply changing the thickness of the dielectric spacer. The approach provides a viable solution for a new type of microwave absorber with high visible transmittance, paving the way towards applications in the area of optics.

A Flexible and Lightweight Biomass-Reinforced Microwave Absorber.

Project description:Developing a flexible, lightweight and effective electromagnetic (EM) absorber remains challenging despite being on increasing demand as more wearable devices and portable electronics are commercialized. Herein, we report a flexible and lightweight hybrid paper by a facile vacuum-filtration-induced self-assembly process, in which cotton-derived carbon fibers serve as flexible skeletons, compactly surrounded by other microwave-attenuating components (reduced graphene oxide and Fe3O4@C nanowires). Owing to its unique architecture and synergy of the three components, the as-prepared hybrid paper exhibits flexible and lightweight features as well as superb microwave absorption performance. Maximum absorption intensity with reflection loss as low as - 63 dB can be achieved, and its broadest frequency absorption bandwidth of 5.8 GHz almost covers the entire Ku band. Such a hybrid paper is promising to cope with ever-increasing EM interference. The work also paves the way to develop low-cost and flexible EM wave absorber from biomass through a facile method.

Plasmonic Ag-Decorated Few-Layer MoS2 Nanosheets Vertically Grown on Graphene for Efficient Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting.

Project description:A controllable approach that combines surface plasmon resonance and two-dimensional (2D) graphene/MoS2 heterojunction has not been implemented despite its potential for efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. In this study, plasmonic Ag-decorated 2D MoS2 nanosheets were vertically grown on graphene substrates in a practical large-scale manner through metalorganic chemical vapor deposition of MoS2 and thermal evaporation of Ag. The plasmonic Ag-decorated MoS2 nanosheets on graphene yielded up to 10 times higher photo-to-dark current ratio than MoS2 nanosheets on indium tin oxide. The significantly enhanced PEC activity could be attributed to the synergetic effects of SPR and favorable graphene/2D MoS2 heterojunction. Plasmonic Ag nanoparticles not only increased visible-light and near-infrared absorption of 2D MoS2, but also induced highly amplified local electric field intensity in 2D MoS2. In addition, the vertically aligned 2D MoS2 on graphene acted as a desirable heterostructure for efficient separation and transportation of photo-generated carriers. This study provides a promising path for exploiting the full potential of 2D MoS2 for practical large-scale and efficient PEC water-splitting applications.

Boosting Sodium Storage of Fe1-xS/MoS2 Composite via Heterointerface Engineering.

Project description:Improving the cycling stability of metal sulfide-based anode materials at high rate is of great significance for advanced sodium ion batteries. However, the sluggish reaction kinetics is a big obstacle for the development of high-performance sodium storage electrodes. Herein, we have rationally engineered the heterointerface by designing the Fe1-xS/MoS2 heterostructure with abundant "ion reservoir" to endow the electrode with excellent cycling stability and rate capability, which is proved by a series of in and ex situ electrochemical investigations. Density functional theory calculations further reveal that the heterointerface greatly decreases sodium ion diffusion barrier and facilitates charge-transfer kinetics. Our present findings not only provide a deep analysis on the correlation between the structure and performance, but also draw inspiration for rational heterointerface engineering toward the next-generation high-performance energy storage devices.
