Record‐High Thermoelectric Performance in Al‐Doped ZnO via Anderson Localization of Band Edge States
This study reports on the thermoelectric properties of Al‐doped ZnO ceramics, synthesized via chemical co‐precipitation at strongly alkaline conditions. A large enhancement of the thermoelectric performance (zT = 0.5) is obtained and attributed to disorder‐induced modifications of the electronic structure, namely Anderson localization of band edge ...

INTRINSIC DEFECTS IN ZnO VARISTOR CERAMICS
The relationship between dielectric loss factor D (tanδ) and frequency for ZnO-Sb2O3-BaO and ZnO-Bi2O3-Sb2O3-BaO varistor ceramics has been investigated. A new dielectric loss peak was found near by 2MHz at room temperature for the sample in the absence of Bi2O3, the corresponding electron trapping level was about 0.18 eV, it was considered that the ...

Mnemonic Rutile–Rutile Interfaces Triggering Spontaneous Dissociation of Water
Surface mineral–water interactions are decisive for any photocatalytic process. In this work, fibrous rutile homoepitaxially grown on twinned rutile seeds with a specific interface structure that displays the ability to spontaneously dissociate water are investigated.
