Description:

The 72nd volume of the "Journal of Nano Research" has been collected from the peer-reviewed articles reflecting the practical research results in the synthesis and properties analysis of nanomaterials and nanostructures for various cases of industrial applications. The research results will find practical use in micro- and optoelectronics, chemical production, technologies of membrane water desalination, and water treatment by the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, intensification of plant growth, and packaging of agricultural products.

Description: The 70th volume of "Journal of Nano Research" contains papers that reflect research results in nanoscience. Under the focus of this volume is the study of thin films, such as titanium nitride (TiN), titanium dioxide (TiO2), zinc sulfide (ZnS) films, and Heterostructure thin films of Indium oxide (ITO) and zinc oxide (ZnO). The investigation of thin films Structure, Morphology, Optical, Electrical, and Adhesion properties are presented. Furthermore, papers are devoted to the synthesis of nanoparticles, a numerical study on nanofluids, a study of the key performance metrics of field transistors, the development of novel nanocomposite, and research in the nanomedicine field.

Description: Advanced materials and technologies are at the heart of many engineering developments that touch our lives and find wide applications in industry. The presented articles are selected from presentations that were given at the International Congress on Advanced Materials Science and Engineering (AMSE, July 22 – 24, 2019, Osaka, Japan). This collection will be interesting and useful for specialists and researchers from various branches of engineering.

The development of photovoltaic technology is expected to solve problems related to energy shortages and environmental pollution caused by the use of fossil fuels. Dye-sensitizedsolar cells (DSSCs) are promising next-generation alternatives to conventional silicon-based photovoltaic devices owing to their low manufacturing cost and potentially high conversion efficiency. This special topic volume addresses recent advances in the research on dye-sensitized solar cells. The focus of this special topic volume is on materials development (sensitizers, nanostructured oxide films, and electrolyte), but commercialization. This work illustrates a new pathway to achieve highly efficient DSSCs for practical applications.

Description: Zinc oxide, already used millennia ago as a medicine and as an adjunct to brass production, has assumed a new importance in the modern world because of its native n-type semiconducting properties. It has, for instance, a relatively large (3.3eV) band-gap at room temperature. This leads to higher breakdown voltages, resistance to high electric fields, lower electronic noise and superior performance at high temperatures and powers. The band-gap can also be tailored by alloying with magnesium or cadmium oxides. The material exhibits other useful properties, such as a good transparency, a high electron mobility and a strong room-temperature luminescence; all of which are invaluable to the manufacture of the liquid-crystal displays of modern consumer goods. The present compilation comprises nearly 500 accounts of research on the diffusional behaviour of dopants and on the defects present in the wurtzite or zincblende structures. It is hoped that this handy compendium of data will be of value to those working on the tailoring of ZnO properties; especially with regard to the controversies concerning its doping behaviour.

The goal of this special volume was to provide a unique opportunity to exchange information, to present the latest results and to review relevant issues affecting  contemporary diffusion research. The large number (over 232) of peer-reviewed papers emphasizes the considerable academic and industrial interest in this field.
