Different dimensions of carbon materials with various features have captured numerous interests due to their applications on the tremendous fields. Restricted by the raw materials and devices, the controlling of their morphology is a major challenge. Utilizing the catalytic features of the intermediates from the low‐cost salts and polymerization of 0D carbon quantum dots (CQDs), 0D CQDs are expected to self‐assemble into 1/2/3D carbon structures with the assistance of temperature‐induced intermediates (e.g., ZnO, Ni, and Cu) from the salts (ZnCl2, NiCl2, and CuCl). The formation mechanisms are illustrated as follows: 1) the “orient induction” to evoke “vine style” growth mechanism of ZnO; 2) the “dissolution–precipitation” of Ni; and 3) the “surface adsorption self‐limited” of Cu. Subsequently, the degree of graphitization, interlayer distance, and special surface area are investigated in detail. 1D structure from 700 °C as anode displays a high Na‐storage capacity of 301.2 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1 after 200 cycles and 107 mAh g−1 at 5.0 A g−1 after 5000 cycles. Quantitative kinetics analysis confirms the fundamentals of the enhanced rate capacity and the potential region of Na‐insertion/extraction. This elaborate work opens up an avenue toward the design of carbon with multidimensions and in‐depth understanding of their sodium‐storage features.

“…They also may be used to enable sensors and biosensors to detect different chemical and biochemical components [30][31][32] or as wearable electronic devices as strain, pressure, and human activity sensors [33][34][35][36]. Moreover, they may be used to create transparent conductive electrodes for applications such as solar cells, LCDs, LEDs, and touch screens [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Finally, there are challenges and drawbacks in using the alternative material Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) which is chemically unstable, increasing in cost with a limited supply of indium, and in some applications, forms brittle films.…”

Silver nanowires (AgNWs) have a broad range of applications including nanoelectronics, energy conversion, health care, solar cells, touch screens, sensors and biosensors, wearable electronics, and drug delivery systems. As their characteristics depend strongly on their size and morphology, it is essential to find the optimal and most cost-effective synthesis method with precise control over the size and morphology of the wires. Various methods for AgNW synthesis have been reported along with process optimization and novel techniques to increase the yield and aspect ratios of synthesized AgNWs. The most promising processes for synthesis of AgNWs are wet chemical techniques, in which the polyol process is low cost and simple and provides high yield compared to other chemical methods. Reaction mechanism is one of the most important factors in strategies to control the process. Our purpose here is to provide an overview on the main findings regarding synthesis, preparation, and characterization of AgNWs. Recent efforts in the polyol synthesis of AgNWs are summarized with respect to product morphology and size, reaction conditions, and characterization techniques. The effect of essential factors such as reagent concentration and preparation, temperature, and reaction atmosphere that control the size, morphology, and yield of synthesized AgNWs is reviewed. Moreover, a review on the novel modified polyol process and reactor design such as continuous millifluidic and flow reactors to increase the yield of synthesized AgNWs on large scales is provided. The most recent proposed growth mechanisms and kinetics behind the polyol process are addressed. Finally, comparatively few available studies in green and sustainable development of 1D silver nanostructures through the application of natural products with inherent growth termination, stabilization, and capping characteristics are reviewed to provide an avenue to natural synthesis pathways to AgNWs. Future directions in both chemical and green synthesis approaches of AgNWs are addressed.

Preparation of high‐efficiency perovskite solar cells via doping Ag into CuO nanofibers as hole buffer layer

Ag/CuO nanofibers (Nfs) with a diameter of 650 nm were successfully prepared via electrospinning Ag doped CuO nanofibers and then calcined at 450°C for 2 hours. By using Ag/CuO Nfs and PEDOT:PSS as the hole transport layer, an optimum perovskite solar cell power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 11.6% was achieved, which was 33% higher than that of the original perovskite solar cells (8.7%). The devices showed a high PCE because of the high cavity mobility of the Ag/CuO Nfs/PEDOT:PSS films. At the same time, the Ag/CuO Nfs could also slow down the hydrolysis and corrosion of the perovskite by acidic PEDOT:PSS, and increase the environmental stability of the solar cells.
