A simplistic design of a self-powered UV-photodetector device based on hybrid reduced-graphene-oxide (r-GO)/gallium nitride (GaN) is demonstrated. Under zero bias, the fabricated photodetector shows photosensivity ∼85% while ohmic contact GaN with an identical structure exhibits only ∼5.3% at 350 nm illumination (18 μW/cm2). The responsivity and detectivity were found to be 1.54 mA/W 1.45 × 1010 Jones (cm Hz½ W−1), respectively, bias fast response (60 ms), recovery time (267 excellent...
Herein, we report the aggregation behavior of catanionic mixtures anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in solution at air/water interface obtained by Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique. We employed Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, situ phase-contrast inverted microscopy, scanning electron atomic force microscopy to characterize systems solution, interface, LB films. found spherical vesicles SDS/CTAB ratio 35/65 aqueous an...
We present the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting properties of pristine and reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-coated GaN nanocolumns (NCs) on flexible niobium (Nb) metal foils. The structural, optical, electronic structure analyses rGO-coated GaN-NCs Nb foils revealed formation a rGO/GaN-NCs hybrid structure. Further, valence-band studies pure shows maxima at ∼3.0 eV below Fermi level, which decreased to ∼2.8 for rGO/GaN-NCs. PEC measurement performed under standard (1 Sun) conditions an...
To achieve advanced functionalities in nanostructured MoSe2 for enhanced electrochemical charge storage and improved photosensing, here we propose an effective strategy, i.e., the substitutional doping of heteroatom Mn. We a 313% increase specific capacitance 6.2% Mn compared to pristine at scan rate 5 mV/s three-electrode configuration. For two-electrode arrangement, also superior charge-storage performance is noted. The electrode can be attributed electrical conductivity arising due...
Abstract Compact optical detectors with fast binary photoswitching over a broad range of wavelength are essential as an interconnect for any light‐based parallel, real‐time computing. Despite the tremendous technological advancements yet there is no such single device available that meets specifications. Here multifunctional self‐powered high‐speed ultrabroadband (250–1650 nm) photodetector reported based on graphitic carbon‐nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 )/Si hybrid 2D/3D structure. The shows novel...
Recent trends in 2D materials like graphene are focused on heteroatom doping a hexagonal honeycomb lattice to tailor the desired properties for various lightweight atomic thin-layer derived portable devices, particularly field of gas sensors. To design such sensors, it is important either discover new with enhanced or existing via doping. Herein, we exploit concept codoping heteroatoms more improvements sensing and demonstrate boron- nitrogen-codoped bilayer graphene-derived sensor nitrogen...

The essentially looks into consequences move to certain depth before actually committing it. Deadlocks and inefficiencies are thus sensed well in advance avoided.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Interaction of native ovalbumin (OVA) with 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) Langmuir-Blodgett monolayer has been studied at the air-water interface.
