Among them, g-C₃N₄/BiOI and g-C₃N₄/Bi₄O5I₂ are type-I heterojunction, and g-C₃N₄/Bi₅O₇I belongs to type-II heterojunction. The photocatalyitc activity is surveyed by decomposition of diverse industrial contaminants, including methyl orange, bisphenol A and tetracycline hydrochloride under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm). It is found that g-C₃N₄/Bi₅O₇I shows largely enhanced photodegradation performance compared to g-C₃N₄/BiOI and g-C₃N₄/Bi₄O5I₂. The much higher photocatalytic activity of g-C₃N₄/Bi₅O₇I is attributed to the enhanced specific surface area, more efficient charge separation and surface transfer efficiency and increased density of charge carriers owing to the formation of type-II heterojunction. The study provides a reference for in situ fabrication of hierarchical photocatalysts with diverse heterojunction types for optimizing photocatalytic activity.]]> Thu 17 Jun 2021 12:50:03 AEST ]]> Sputtering of neutral clusters from silver-gold alloys https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7210 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:39:56 AEDT ]]> Adsorption of 2-chlorophenol on Cu₂O(1 1 1)–CuCUS: a first-principles density functional study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9350 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:36:28 AEDT ]]> Estimation of useful yield in surface analysis using single photon ionisation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2963 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:30:23 AEDT ]]> A new horizon in secondary neutral mass spectrometry: post-ionization using a VUV free electron laser https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2499 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:27:42 AEDT ]]> Isolated benzene and dichlorobenzene on the Ge(1 0 0)-c(4 × 2) surface https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21069 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:25 AEDT ]]> Water formation via HCl oxidation on Cu(100) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18537 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:50:11 AEDT ]]> Adsorption of chlorophenol on the Cu(111) surface: a first-principles density functional theory study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5163 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:49:41 AEDT ]]> Determination of deuterium adsorption site on palladium(100) using low energy ion recoil spectroscopy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5190 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:47:47 AEDT ]]> Investigation of radiation enhanced diffusion of magnesium in substrates flown on the NASA genesis mission https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5498 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:47:01 AEDT ]]> Reversible, long-term passivation of Ge(001) by a Ba-induced incorporated phase https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30966 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:27:32 AEDT ]]> Damage tolerance of Ti₃SiC₂ to high energy iodine irradiation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22092 0.67.

The optical, electrical, morphological, surface, structural characteristics of the fabricated BHJ PSCs were systematically examined. The atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectra measurements confirmed the structural reorganization, phase separation of polymer and fullerene domains resulting in the formation of well-ordered blend in the additive based devices. BHJ PSCs fabricated with P3HT:PC61BM:2-DHP and P3HT:PC61BM:2,4-DHP yielded a best power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.35% and 3.58%, respectively, which in contrast outperformed than the PCE obtained from P3HT:PC61BM device (3.01%). The remarkably improved performance for P3HT:PC61BM:2-DHP can be attributed to the enhanced short-circuit current density induced by the morphology optimization. Additionally, the devices fabricated with the solid additives (2-DHP and 2,4-DHP) exhibited improved air-stability due to the oxygen insensitivity of the functional groups present in the chosen additives. The pyridine and hydroxyl groups in 2-DHP and 2,4-DHP possibly form the intermolecular interactions with the photoactive components (P3HT/PC61BM), contribute to the morphology optimization and subsequent PV performance enhancement in BHJ PSCs. It is believed that our findings can inspire and trigger further advanced research toward the design and development of stable and highly efficient BHJ PSCs by rationally choosing low-cost solid additives.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:04:59 AEDT ]]> A facile and green preparation of reduced graphene oxide using Eucalyptus leaf extract https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34261 Eucalyptus leaf extract (EL-RGO) was investigated, which was characterized with ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Thermal gravimetric analysis (TG). Eucalyptus leaf extract also play both reducing and capping stabilizing agents prepared EL-RGO as shown a good stability and electrochemical properties. This approach could provide an alternative method to prepare EL-RGO in large-scale production. Moreover, the good electrochemical property and biocompatibility can be used in various applications. In addition, the merit of this study is that both the oxidized products and the reducing agents are environmental friendly by green reduction.]]> Mon 25 Feb 2019 11:39:33 AEDT ]]> F-diamane-like nanosheets from expanded fluorinated graphite https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51221 Fri 25 Aug 2023 10:48:30 AEST ]]> Stable bismuth sub-monolayer termination of Bi₂Se₃ https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35135 Fri 21 Jun 2019 13:14:04 AEST ]]> Suppressed and enhanced spin polarization in the 1ML-Pb/Ge(1 1 1)-1 x 1 system https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48042 3/T4) or completely suppressed (T1).
