Hydrogen Interactions With Semiconductors And Oxides
نویسنده
چکیده
Hydrogen plays an important role as an impurity in solids. Hydrogen's interactions with materials are discussed on the basis of its behavior as an isolated interstitial impurity. In most semiconductors and oxides hydrogen is amphoteric, always counteracting the prevailing conductivity of the material. But in some materials hydrogen acts as a source of conductivity. These concepts are illustrated with the example of hydrogen in zinc oxide.

Highly mobile and reactive state of hydrogen in metal oxide semiconductors at room temperature
Hydrogen in metal oxides usually strongly associates with a neighboring oxygen ion through an O-H bond and thus displays a high stability. Here we report a novel state of hydrogen with unusually high mobility and reactivity in metal oxides at room temperature. We show that freshly doped hydrogen in Nb₂O₅ and WO₃ polycrystals via electrochemical hydrogenation can reduce Cu²⁺ ions into Cu⁰ if the...

متن کاملCATALYTIC HYDROGEN PEROXIDE DECOMPOSITION ON Lal-,Sr,Co03-6 PEROVSKITE OXIDE
Lanthanide perovskite oxides are mentioned as material for hydrogen peroxide sensor because they can catalytically decompose hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous medium. The catalytic properties of these perovskite oxides to hydrogen peroxide are suggested due to their oxygen vacancies influenced by the oxide non-stoichiometry. In this paper, we investigate the catalytic hydrogen peroxide decomposit...

متن کاملHydrogen as a cause of doping in zinc oxide
Zinc oxide, a wide-band-gap semiconductor with many technological applications, typically exhibits n-type conductivity. The cause of this conductivity has been widely debated. A first-principles investigation, based on density functional theory, produces strong evidence that hydrogen acts as a source of conductivity: it can incorporate in high concentrations and behaves as a shallow donor. This...
