Hybrid Supercapacitors
In article number 2300210, Vinoth Kumar Ravi, Palanisamy Vickraman, and T. Arul Raja report on the MOF-based ZP@rGO and the mass effect of rGOx (x = 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg) @ MOFZP. XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, and electrochemical studies identify MOFZP@rGO2 to be optimal. The full-cell device performance for this selective optimal doped rGO-MOFZP//rGO without binder is shown to have a specific capacitance of 130 F g−1 @ 1 A g−1 (power density 450 W kg−1 @ 1 A g−1; ED 58.4 Wh kg−1 @ 1 A g−1), which is suitable for supercapacitor applications.

Performance of Improvement of AlGaN-Based Deep UV Light-Emitting Diode with Two Parts Linearly Graded Barriers
- First Published: 14 June 2023

Sample B with two parts graded Al composition multiple quantum wells (MQWs) in the active region has greater photoelectric performance than sample A. Sample B enhances carrier confinement ability, decreases the electric field made the energy band smoother, and increases the carrier concentration in the MQWs. This is all attributed to the new barrier structure designed.
Production and Characterization of Magnetic-Luminescent Fe3O4@ZnO:RE Composite Nanoparticles for Biomedical Application
- First Published: 02 July 2023

Herein, multifunctional magnetic-luminescent nanoparticles are fabricated for bioimaging and magnetic hyperthermia treatment. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy images confirm the core/shell structure. In addition to exhibiting superparamagnetic behavior, they exhibit the emission. While the magnetic feature provides the possibility of directing the nanoparticles to the target region, the luminescence feature allows the verification of their presence in the target region.

Adsorption and Degradation of Methylene Blue Aqueous Solution by Fe-based Amorphous Alloy
- First Published: 09 June 2023

After adsorption, scanning electron microscopy shows that cracks appear on the surface of the material, which increases the specific surface area of the material. After 120 min, the absorption peak of the ultraviolet spectrum gradually disappears, and a series of experiments verify the mechanism of MB degradation.

SCAPS-1D is used to get the optimized performance parameters as fill factor 85.96%, open-circuit voltage 0.9237 V, short-circuit density 38.61 mA cm−2, and power conversion efficiency 30.66%.
Effect Mechanism of Sc Addition and T6 Heat Treatment on Precipitated Phase and Mechanical Properties of Al-Cu-Mn Alloy
- First Published: 06 June 2023

There are Al2Cu, Al6Mn, and Al3Sc phases in the Al-Cu-Mn-Sc alloy. After T6 heat treatment, Al0.968Sc0.032 phase is produced in the alloy. The fracture forms of the alloy include transgranular fracture and intergranular fracture. T6 heat treatment can refine and homogenize the second phase, improve the strength and ductility of the alloy, and reduce its hardness.

Effect of Source–Drain Opposite Side Gate on the AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor Devices
- First Published: 13 June 2023

Two structures of high electron mobility transistor devices are proposed in this paper, namely, inverted T-type gate and source–drain opposite side structure (ITGS–DOSS) and embedded ITGS–DOSS. Compared with the traditional T-type gate structure, these two structures exhibit better transfer, output, and radio frequency characteristics and can effectively suppress the current collapse effect.

Ultralow Dark Current Room-Temperature Infrared Photodetector Based on InSb Nanosheets/MoS2 Van der Waals Heterostructure
- First Published: 19 June 2023

Benefiting from a large surface-to-volume ratio and phonon scattering suppressed on the nanostructure, InSb nanosheets (NSs) devices have high photosensitivity and low dark current density. An ultralow dark current room-temperature infrared (IR) photodetector based on InSb NSs/MoS2 flakes van der Waals heterostructure is present, which has excellent detection performance. This study demonstrates the potential advantages of InSb NSs for room-temperature IR photodetection.

- First Published: 22 June 2023

This paper shows the switching comparison between High K-vertically diffused metal oxide semiconductor (HK-VDMOS) and stepped high K-vertically diffused metal oxide semiconductor (SHK-VDMOS). It has been suggested that Stepped doping increases transconductance and minimizes switching delay. Switching time is reduced by 30.58% when K = 5. The reduction is 31.76% and 40%, for K = 10 and K = 20, respectively.
