In citric acid-based carbon dots, molecular fluorophore contributes greatly to the fluorescence emission. In this paper, the nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon dots (N,S-CDs) were prepared, and an independent sulfur source is selected to achieve the doping controllability. The influence of sulfur doping on the molecular fluorophore was systematically studied. The introduction of sulfur atoms may promote the formation of molecular fluorophore due to the increased nitrogen content in CDs. The addition surface states containing sulfur were produced, and S element exists as –SO3, and –SO4 groups. Appreciate ratio of nitrogen and sulfur sources can improve the fluorescence emission. The photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) is increased from 56.4% of the single N-doping CDs to 63.4% of double-doping CDs, which ascribes to the synergistic effect of molecular fluorophores and surface states. The sensitivity of fluorescence to pH response and various metal ions was also explored.

Evaluating the efficiency of energy enterprises’ investment merger in the energy Internet sector can be a visual measure of the effectiveness of their investment merger in this sector. It is crucial for energy enterprises to achieve strategic transformation and expand their market share. To this end, this study aims to investigate the efficiency of energy enterprises’ investment merger in the energy Internet sector by constructing an efficiency evaluation index system and evaluation model with the characteristics of the sector. Based on which the TOPSIS model is used to distinguish the differences in the efficiency of the same enterprises’ investment merger in different years. The results of the validation on international power enterprises show that the size of the enterprise has an important influence on its investment merger efficiency in this field. In addition, the evaluation index system and method constructed prove to be effective in evaluating and differentiating the annual investment merger efficiency of energy enterprises in the energy Internet field.

Aluminum-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films with thin film metallic glass of Zr50Cu50 as buffer are prepared on glass substrates by the pulsed laser deposition. The influence of buffer thickness and substrate temperature on structural, optical, and electrical properties of AZO thin film are investigated. Increasing the thickness of buffer layer and substrate temperature can both promote the transformation of AZO from amorphous to crystalline structure, while they show (100) and (002) unique preferential orientations, respectively. After inserting Zr50Cu50 layer between the glass substrate and AZO film, the sheet resistance and visible transmittance decrease, but the infrared transmittance increases. With substrate temperature increasing from 25 °C to 520 °C, the sheet resistance of AZO(100 nm)/Zr50Cu50(4 nm) film first increases and then decreases, and the infrared transmittance is improved. The AZO(100 nm)/Zr50Cu50(4 nm) film deposited at a substrate temperature of 360 °C exhibits a low sheet resistance of 26.7 Ω/□, high transmittance of 82.1% in the visible light region, 81.6% in near-infrared region, and low surface roughness of 0.85 nm, which are useful properties for their potential applications in tandem solar cell and infrared technology.
