Metal-semiconductor-metal UVA photodetector based on TiO2 thin films synthesized via liquid phase deposition method

In this work, titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film-based metal-semiconductor–metal (MSM) ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) were fabricated on glass substrates via liquid phase deposition (LPD) technique at various deposition time in the range of 3–6 h. Varying deposition time significantly impacted the physical properties of the films. Increasing the deposition time revealed a mixture of clusters and hexagonal-like structures in film’s morphology. The energy band gap of the TiO2 films decreased from 3.30 to 3.09 eV upon increasing the deposition time. Photodetection characteristics were examined by exposing the MSM UV PD to 390 nm UV light with an intensity of 1.6 mW cm−2 and a bias voltage of 5 V. The fabricated PDs implied characteristics of I-V ohmic contact. The optimum photodetection characteristics were achieved for TiO2 film deposited at 6 h which exhibited 36.9 μA maximum photocurrent, 20080.3% sensitivity, 201.80 gain, 225 mA W−1 responsivity, 81.07% external quantum efficiency, 0.276 s response time, and 0.274 s recovery time. The photoelectric properties of the films were strongly affected by the increased grain size and improved crystallinity of the films due to the prolonged deposition time. The optimum film demonstrated its potential to be a promising candidate for UV PD applications.

Zn-doped V2O5 film electrodes as cathode materials for high-performance thin-film zinc-ion batteries

Zn-doped V2O5 film electrodes were prepared by in-situ growth on indium‑tin oxide (ITO) conductive glass by a low-temperature liquid-phase deposition method and calcined by calcination treatment, and assembled into thin-film zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). After galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD) tests with 90 and 200 charge/discharge cycles, the ZIBs system provided specific capacities of 95.7 mAh m−2 and 63.9 mAh m−2 with capacity retention rates of 97.88% and 78.72%, respectively. The electrochemical reaction process of the Zn-doped V2O5 film electrode was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to understand the insertion/extraction mechanism of Zn2+. The doping of appropriate amount of Zn2+ in the preparation plays the role of “pillar”, which helps to stabilize the structure of V2O5 and improve the cycling stability and lifetime. Therefore, the research may provide a new idea for the assembly and preparation of thin-film ZIBs with improved performance.

Syntheses of Ni-Based Layered-Double Hydroxide Materials Via Liquid Phase Deposition Method for Alkaline Water Electrolysis

For the sustainable society, hydrogen production has received much attention during decades. The alkaline water electrolysis process has been recognized as one of the important processes for hydrogen products. For the achievements of an effective water electrolysis system, the decrease of the overpotential on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is the four-electron and proton transfer process. These complex 4-electron sluggish processes lead to the large energy losses in the whole water electrolysis. Although the noble catalysts such as IrO2 or RuO2 exhibit high OER activity, their large-scale applications are limited due to cost problem. From this point of view, the low-cost transition metal materials, especially Ni-based catalysts, have been extensively studied. And also, it has been reported that the well-defined layered double hydroxide (LDH) structures can promote water oxidation through the interlayer anion effects. Despite this fact, the specific procedures for the preparation of Ni-based LDH structures have not been well established. Therefore, in this study, we have investigated the preparation of Ni-based LDH structures in the aqueous solution at room temperature, the so-called liquid phased deposition (LPD) method.Through the LPD method, we have synthesized various types of Ni-based LDH structures. As an example, the Ni-Al LDH structures were synthesized on the conductive substrate. It was found that our synthesized Ni-Al LDH exhibited relatively high OER activity and durability against electrochemical potential cycling [1]. In addition, the dependencies of the OER activity on the interlayer anion species were clearly demonstrated. In addition, the other types of Ni alloy LDHs were also prepared and their OER activity was investigated. Through the electrochemical measurements, we have confirmed the advantages of our materials prepared by LPD methods as an anode for alkaline water electrolysis.

Microstructure and high-temperature oxidation resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with in-situ SiC-SiO2 nano-composite coating by LPDS technique

A SiC-SiO2 nano-composite coating was prepared via a novel liquid-phase plasma-assisted particle deposition and sintering (LPDS) method to enhance the oxidation resistance of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. For comparison, a conventional plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) ceramic coating is fabricated on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The microstructure and formation mechanisms of both ceramic coatings were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that the thickness of the SiC nano-composite coating (∼40 μm) increased significantly by 285 % compared to the PEO coating (∼14 μm). The microstructural evolution and isothermal oxidation performance of the PEO and SiC-SiO2 nano-composite coating were comparatively investigated at 800 °C. After 100 h, the thickness gain of the SiC-SiO2 nano-composite coating (∼14 μm) was lower than that of the PEO coating (∼26 μm). The improved oxidation performance is primarily attributed to the outermost layer containing abundant SiC nanoparticles, which transform into SiO2 during the oxidation process and effectively inhibiting the inward penetration of oxygen.

Silver nanowires@TiO2 core-shell for room-temperature 1000 ppm NH3 gas sensors

This study employs a simple liquid-phase deposition method to grow TiO2 onto nanoscale silver wires, with a diameter of 90 nm and a length of 15∼20 μm. This core-shell structure possesses a high specific surface area, which enhances the gas reaction surface. Measurements can be conducted at room temperature. The main mechanism relies on the conductive properties of silver to transmit electrons, while Schottky barriers between Ag and TiO2 further accelerate oxygen ionization and surface redox reactions. This structure may contribute to enhancing the response value, response time, and recovery time of gas sensors.

Highly sensitive detection of n-butanol based on In2O3/SnO2 composite hierarchical microspheres

Constructing heterojunction composites is an effective method to enhance the gas-sensing performance of metal oxide semiconductors. In this paper, In2O3 hierarchical microspheres were hydrothermally fabricated, and they were coated with SnO2 nanoparticles by a liquid phase deposition method to improve the sensor response to n-butanol. The impact of deposition time on the morphology, structure and gas sensing performance were investigated. The results indicated that the In2O3/SnO2 composite hierarchical microspheres with a deposition time of 60 min possessed the largest specific surface area of 137.6 m2/g and the best gas sensing properties. Its response toward 20 ppm n-butanol gas at 140 °C was 359, which was much higher than that of pure In2O3 hierarchical microspheres (the response was 51–100 ppm n-butanol gas at 140 °C). In addition to enhanced sensitivity, this sensor showed quick recovery time, excellent selectivity, repeatability, and long-term stability for n-butanol, indicating its potential for practical applications.

In Situ Construction of a Hydrophobic Honeycomb-like Structured ZnMoO4 Coating Applied for Enhancing Zinc Anode Performance.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) suffer from sharp cycling deterioration due to serious interfacial side reactions and corrosion problems on the zinc anode. Herein, an efficacious approach to construct hydrophobic ZnMoO4 coatings on Zn (denoted as Zn@ZMO) is proposed to mitigate direct contact between the zinc anode and electrolyte and enhance its cycle life. The hydrophobic ZnMoO4 layer (contact angle = 128°) with a honeycomb-like structure is prepared by an in situ liquid phase deposition method. The as-prepared ZnMoO4 coating exhibits persistent corrosion protection for Zn through 30 days of immersion in a 2 M ZnSO4 electrolyte, indicating excellent stability of the ZnMoO4 layer and ensuring its available application in AZIBs. Unique microchannels in this kind of honeycomb-like structured coating favor Zn2+ ion diffusion and ease of ion transport, especially at high current cycling. Its robust surface exclusion can effectively counter other side reactions induced by water, simultaneously. As a result, the Zn@ZMO symmetrical cell shows a remarkable cycle lifespan exceeding 2700 h at 1 mA cm-2/1 mA h cm-2, surpassing that of the bare zinc cell by more than 100 folds. At a current density of 5 A g-1, the Zn@ZMO//V2O5 cell can still achieve a specific capacity of 167.0 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles with a capacity retention rate of 88%, which demonstrates its long-term cycling stability.

Band Gap Engineering of MoxW1-xS2 Alloy Monolayers with Wafer-Scale Uniformity.

Modulating the band gap of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) semiconductors is critical for their application in a wider spectral range. Alloying has been demonstrated as an effective method for regulating the band gap of 2D TMDC semiconductors. The fabrication of large-area 2D TMDC alloy films with centimeter-scale uniformity is fundamental to the application of integrated devices. Herein, we report a liquid-phase precursor one-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method for fabricating a MoxW1-xS2 alloy monolayer with a large size and an adjustable band gap. Good crystalline quality and high uniformity on a wafer scale enable the continuous adjustment of its band gap in the range of 1.8-2.0 eV. Density functional theory calculations provided a deep understanding of the Raman-active vibration modes of the MoxW1-xS2 alloy monolayer and the change in the conductivity of the alloy with photon energy. The synthesis of large-area MoxW1-xS2 alloy monolayers is a critical step toward the application of 2D layered semiconductors in practical optoelectronic devices.

Enhancement of biohydrogen production by photo-fermentation of corn stover via visible light catalyzed titanium dioxide/activated carbon fiber

In this study, titanium dioxide/activated carbon fiber (TiO2/ACF) was synthesized by liquid-phase deposition method and the effect of TiO2/ACF on the performance of photo-fermentation biohydrogen production (PFHP) from corn stover under visible light catalysis was discussed. Results show the maximum cumulative hydrogen yield (CHY) obtained under the optimal conditions was 74.0 ± 1.3 mL/g TS with TiO2/ACF addition of 100 mg/L, which was twice that without TiO2/ACF addition (36.9 ± 1.0 mL/g TS). Initial pH value had the most significant effect on CHY. The addition of TiO2/ACF promoted the metabolic pathway of nitrogenase to reduce H+ produced by consuming acetic acid and butyric acid to hydrogen, and also shortened the photo-fermentation period. By scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis, the morphology and phase structure of TiO2/ACF after PFHP did not change significantly. This study laid the foundation for the reuse of TiO2 and its practical application in PFHP.

Preparation of fluorine-doped α-Ni hydroxides as alkaline water electrolysis catalysts via the liquid phase deposition method

A room-temperature liquid phase process was utilized to prepare α-Ni(OH)2 thin films with high crystallinity for use as oxygen evolution reaction catalysts under strongly alkaline conditions. It was observed that the incorporation of fluorine led to relatively higher catalytic activity.

Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering in Silver-Coated Suspended-Core Fiber.

In this paper, the silver-coated large-core suspended-core fiber (LSCF) probe was fabricated by the dynamic chemical liquid phase deposition method for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing. The 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA) monolayer was assembled in the LSCF as the recognition monolayer. Taking advantage of the appropriate core size of the LSCF, a custom-made Y-type optical fiber patch cable was utilized to connect the semiconductor laser, Raman spectrometer, and the proposed fiber SERS probe. The SERS signal is propagated in the silver-coated air channels, which can effectively reduce the Raman and fluorescence background of the silica core. Experiments were performed to measure the Raman scattering spectra of the 4-MPBA in the silver-coated LSCF in a non-enhanced and enhanced case. The experiment results showed that the Raman signal strength was enhanced more than 6 times by the surface plasmon resonance compared with the non-enhanced case. The proposed LSCF for SERS sensing technology provides huge research value for the fiber SERS probes in biomedicine and environmental science. The combination of SERS and microstructured optical fibers offers a potential approach for SERS detection.

Modified superhydrophobic magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles for removal of microplastics in liquid foods

Microplastics (MPs) stemming from plastic products have attracted wide attention around the world due to their stealth, persistence and potential threat to humans. It is essential to remove MPs by using eco-friendly and effective methods. In this study, to remove MPs, we proposed to prepare Fe3O4 superhydrophobic magnetic adsorbents (Fe3O4@Cn, n = 12, 14, 16, 18) modified by different saturated fatty acids (C12, C14, C16, C18) by liquid phase deposition method. Transmission electron microscope, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry and nitrogen adsorption measurements were applied to characterize the morphology, functional groups, crystalline structures of Fe3O4@Cn as well as its magnetic properties and pore size distribution. It was shown that Fe3O4@Cn exhibited the characteristics of magnetic materials with superhydrophobic properties and thus possessed the ability to separate oil and water. During the removal of MPs in five liquid food systems, Fe3O4@C12 exhibited 92.89 % adsorption efficiency, which was ascribed to the electrostatic and chemical bonding interactions between MPs and Fe3O4@Cn, as suggested by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In addition, the presence of organic matter in water can decrease the removal efficiency of Fe3O4@Cn due to the competitive adsorption effect. Simulation by Langmuir isotherm model suggested that Fe3O4@C12 displayed the greatest adsorption efficiency for Polystyrene (PS) (809.29 mg/g), which is higher than that of Fe3O4@C14, Fe3O4@C16, and Fe3O4@C18. In addition, Langmuir adsorption isotherm and Gaussian calculations suggested that PS was removed by Fe3O4@C12 through an exothermic reaction controlled by chemisorption. Overall, these results indicated that superhydrophobic magnetic materials prepared in this study show high potential for removing MPs in aqueous systems due to their low costs, good environmental friendliness, and high removal performance.

Study on the catalytic performance of a new double-shell composite energetic material

To improve the pyrolysis of ammonium perchlorate (AP), the effects of P-N junction metal oxides with different coating sequences on thermal decomposition were compared. AP / ZnO / ZnCo2O4 double-shell composite energetic materials and AP / ZnCo2O4 / ZnO double-shell composite energetic materials were manufactured by the liquid phase deposition method. XRD, FT-IR, and TEM characterize the structure of samples. The self-catalytic properties of double-shell composite energetic materials were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA). XRD, FT-IR, and TEM results show the formation of a P-N junction. The double-shell composite energetic material was successfully prepared and had a good coating effect. DTA results show the Pyrolytic peak of AP / ZnO / ZnCo2O4 double-shell composite energetic materials has been drowned to 262.85 °C. The decomposition peak of AP / ZnCo2O4 / ZnO double-shell composite energetic material is 272.31 °C, and the difference between the two is obvious. The coating of N-type metal semiconductor material can greatly improve the autocatalytic performance of the material, giving a new idea for designing AP catalysts.

Post-annealing of hematite films: The changes in surface chemistry, lattice dynamics, and photoelectrochemical properties

This research deals with tracking changes in the surface chemistry and lattice dynamics of α-Fe2O3 (hematite) thin films upon post-annealing and its correlation with the photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties. The hematite thin films were prepared by the electric field-assisted liquid phase deposition (EA-LPD) method. The as-prepared thin films were heated at three different heating rates: 10, 22, and 80 ℃/min to 350 ℃; and kept for 15 min and then quenched in the air. The structural characterizations showed that the post-annealing process induces oxygen vacancies and the formation of hydroxyl groups on the surface. The extent of the changes in the surface chemistry strongly depends on the heating rate. Such changes in the surface chemistry possess a synergic effect on the PEC properties. Here the post-annealed photoanodes with an 80 ℃/min heating rate showed significantly improved PEC activity and exhibited a maximum photocurrent density ⁓ 0.73 mA.cm−2 at 1.23 V vs. RHE, 2.5 times higher than that for pristine sample. The lattice dynamics investigations suggested that the as-prepared photoanodes are composed of α-FeOOH. Upon post-annealing, α-FeOOH was partially converted into a proto-hematite intermediate phase. The longitudinal optical (LO) modes for the post-annealed samples enhanced as an indicator for the development of lattice disorder, as the results of induced oxygen vacancy defects and hydroxyl groups on the surface.

Surface-Modified TiO2@SiO2 Nanocomposites for Enhanced Dispersibility and Optical Performance to Apply in the Printing Process as a Pigment.

The grafted modification TiO2@SiO2 composite was fabricated by a liquid-phase deposition method with Na2SiO3 and a grafting reaction with a silane coupling agent. First, the TiO2@SiO2 composite was prepared, and the effect of deposition rate and silica content on the morphology, particle size, dispersibility, and pigmentary property of TiO2@SiO2 composites was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and ζ-potential. The islandlike TiO2@SiO2 composite had a good particle size and printing performance compared with the dense TiO2@SiO2 composite. The presence of Si was confirmed by EDX elemental analysis and XPS, and a peak at 980 cm-1 belonging to Si-O was observed in the FTIR spectrum, confirming the presence of SiO2 anchored at TiO2 surfaces via Si-O-Ti bonds. Then, the islandlike TiO2@SiO2 composite was modified by grafting with a silane coupling agent. The effect of the silane coupling agent on the hydrophobicity and dispersibility was investigated. The peaks at 2919 and 2846 cm-1 belong to CH2 in the FTIR spectrum, and Si-C in the XPS confirmed the grafting of silane coupling agent to the TiO2@SiO2 composite. The grafted modification of the islandlike TiO2@SiO2 composite using 3-triethoxysilylpropylamine endowed it with weather durability, dispersibility, and good printing performance.

Synthesis of two-dimensional CeO2-δ-GQD composites and their structural and optical properties

The present study reports on the synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) ceria and graphene quantum dots (CeO2-δ-GQD) composites and their functional properties. Composites were prepared by a simple liquid phase deposition (LPD) method followed by a thermal treatment in air at 250 and 400 °C. The structural and optical properties of composites were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis and photoluminescence (PL). The composites consist of crystalline CeO2-δ regions of about 1.8–2.9 nm in size, coexisting with highly disordered GQDs areas. The CeO2-δ-GQD composites experience gradual dehydration and oxidation of carbon processes during thermal treatment, influencing the CeO2 crystal size, Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio, and O vacancies presence. These effects allow for the control of some of the composite functional properties. Specifically, the CeO2-GQD250 composites exhibit a low recombination rate of charge carriers due to the synergistic interaction between the components and low presence of Ce3+. In contrast, the CeO2-GQD400 composites show a high Eg of 3.8 eV (Eg ∼3.2 eV for CeO2NPs) associated with a CeO2 quantum size effect and extremely low fraction of GQDs.

De-Ammonium Ba0.18V2O4.95/NH4V4O10 Film Electrodes as High-Performance Cathode Materials for Magnesium-Ion Batteries.

Magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) have been pushed into the research boom in the post-lithium-ion batteries era due to their low cost, no dendrite hazard, and high capacity. However, finding suitable cathode materials to improve the slow kinetics of Mg2+ is an ongoing challenge. In this work, Ba0.18V2O4.95/NH4V4O10 film electrodes were grown in one step on indium tin oxide (ITO) conductive glass using a low-temperature liquid-phase deposition method. Temperature was used as the probe condition, and it was concluded that the films annealed at 400 °C had suitable crystallinity and de-ammonium lattice space. At lower current density, with 0.5 M Mg(ClO4)2/PC as the electrolyte, it exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 130.99 mA h m-2 at 210 mA m-2 and 106.52% capacity retention after 100 cycles. In addition, it exhibited excellent electrochemical performance in long-term cycling (92.98% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 600 mA m-2). According to the results of ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), the removal of NH4+ created more lattice space, assisting Ba0.18V2O4.95 to increase the transfer channels of Mg2+, providing more active sites to promote diffusion kinetics (the average DMg2+ was 2.07 × 10-12 cm2 s-1) and specific capacity. Therefore, these film electrodes for scalable Mg2+ storage are promising MIB cathode candidates that exhibit good performance advantages in storage applications.

Mg-doped TiO2 nanorods-SrTiO3 heterojunction composites for efficient visible-light photocatalytic degradation of basic yellow 28

In this study, a series of Mg-doped TiO2/SrTiO3 heterojunctions were constructed using SrTiO3 nanoparticles anchored onto the surface of TiO2 nanorod arrays. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanorods and SrTiO3 nanoparticles were synthesized using the liquid phase deposition (LPD) and sol-gel methods, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of obtained photocatalysts was investigated towards the degradation of basic yellow 28 (BY28) dye under visible-light irradiation compared to the pristine TiO2 nanorods and SrTiO3 nanoparticles. The obtained samples were carefully characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray photoelectron (XPS), UV–Vis, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. 1.5 Mg–TiO2/SrTiO3 nanocomposite demonstrated the highest photocatalytic activity and the corresponding apparent rate constants of 0.0255 min−1 which is that is 2.9, 9.4, and 2.3 times higher than TiO2 nanorods, SrTiO3 nanoparticles, and TiO2/SrTiO3 nanocomposite, respectively. This enhanced photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the improved charge transfer, more effective electron-hole separation, and a red-shift in light absorption derived from the Mg doping and coupling effect of TiO2 nanorods and SrTiO3 nanoparticles.

Ca-doped NaV6O15 film electrodes as high-performance cathodes for sodium-ion batteries

The Ca-doped NaV6O15 films have been prepared on indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) conductive glasses using a low-temperature liquid-phase deposition method. The crystal structure, morphology, and structural information of the Ca-doped NaV6O15 films were systematically studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the Ca-doped NaV6O15 had a lower ratio of V5+/V4+, which was the compensation for doped Ca2+. Electrochemical properties of films were measured by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and galvanostatic charge/discharge tests. The results proved the doped Ca2+ obviously improved electrochemical performance, which exhibited quicker diffusion process, higher specific capacity, and longer lifespan. The Ca-doped NaV6O15 films showed a high discharge capacity of 237.476 mA h m−2 at 1C rate, which was larger than 96.719 mA h m−2 of the pure NaV6O15 films. The capacity retention reached to 84.72 % at 0.5C rate after 100 cycles, the excellent cyclic ability was attributed to the doped Ca2+ with strong electronegativity stabilizing the structure. This work presents a great potential approach that explores high-performance cathodes for sodium-ion batteries.

In situ construction of Co@nitrogen-doped carbon/Ni nanocomposite for broadband electromagnetic wave absorption

The tunable multicomponent synergistic loss mechanism and multiple heterogeneous interfaces of magnetic carbon-based composites have emerged as the efficient electromagnetic wave absorbing (EMWA) materials. Herein, the Ni(OH)2/ZIF-67 precursors were synthesized via the hydrothermal and liquid-phase deposition methods, and then carbonized at different temperature under N2 atmosphere to obtain Co@nitrogen-doped carbon/Ni (Co@NC/Ni) nanocomposites. The metallic components with good dispersion property provided magnetic loss and improved impedance matching. Meanwhile, they also acted as catalysts to induce the formation of graphitized carbon, enhancing the conductive loss. Furthermore, more heterogeneous interfaces and defects were generated inside the sample, which promotes dielectric loss. Therefore, the Co@NC/Ni nanocomposite (carbonized at 600 °C) exhibited excellent EMWA performance with a minimum reflection loss (RL) of −47.10 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth (RL ≤ −10 dB) can reach 6.84 GHz at 2.5 mm with a filling ratio of 30%. This work provides a heterogeneous interface construction strategy for the future application of high-performance magnetic carbon based EMWA materials.
