Abstract
The utilization of solar-thermal energy and universal cold energy has led to many innovative designs that achieve effective temperature regulation in different application scenarios. Numerous studies on passive solar heating and radiation cooling often operate independently (or actively control the conversion) and lack a cohesive framework for deep connections. This work provides a concise overview of the recent breakthroughs in solar heating and radiation cooling by employing a mechanism material in the application model. Furthermore, the utilization of dynamic Janus-like behavior serves as a novel nexus to elucidate the relationship between solar heating and radiation cooling, allowing for the analysis of dynamic conversion strategies across various applications. Additionally, special discussions are provided to address specific requirements in diverse applications, such as optimizing light transmission for clothing or window glass. Finally, the challenges and opportunities associated with the development of solar heating and radiation cooling applications are underscored, which hold immense potential for substantial carbon emission reduction and environmental preservation. This work aims to ignite interest and lay a solid foundation for researchers to conduct in-depth studies on effective and self-adaptive regulation of cooling and heating.

Abstract
The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) bioassay is prominently carried out with the involvement of the coreactant. To remove the detrimental effects of the coreactant on the ECL of luminophores, herein, a promising ECL immunoassay strategy with biocompatible nanoparticles as the luminophore is proposed, which involves directly and electrochemically oxidizing the luminophore methionine-capped Au (Met@Au) nanocrystals (NCs) without the participation of any coreactant. Met@Au NCs are a kind of n-type nanoparticles, and they can be electrochemically injected with valence band (VB) holes around +0.80 and +1.10 V (vs Ag/AgCl). The electrochemically injected exogenous VB hole can recombine with the endogenous conduction band electron of Met@Au NCs and eventually bring out two coreactant-free and near-infrared ECL processes around 0.80 V (ECL-1) and 1.10 V (ECL-2). The intensity of coreactant-free ECL is primarily determined by the electrochemical oxidation-induced hole-injection process. ECL-2 is considerably stronger than ECL-1 and can be exploited for determining the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in a sandwich immunoassay procedure with a linear range from 0.1 to 50 pg/mL as well as a limit of detection of 0.03 pg/mL (S/N = 3).

Abstract
The photoluminescence, electroluminescence, and electrochemiluminescence from nanocrystals (NCs) have been extensively exploited for both fundamental and applied investigation over two decades, while the understanding of chemiluminescence (CL) from NCs is still far from clear by now. Herein, a general route for triggering CL from NC luminophore is proposed by extensively exploiting the charge transfer between n-type NCs and oxidants. Oxidants, such as K2S2O8, H2O2, KMnO4, and NaClO, can chemically inject the hole onto the valence band (VB) of methionine-capped n-type AuNCs (Met@AuNCs) and enable the occurrence of efficient radiative-charge-recombination between the chemically injected exogenous VB hole and the pre-existed endogenous conduction band (CB) electron, which eventually results in single-color and defect-involved CL with the maximum emission wavelength around 824 nm. The CL of Met@AuNCs/oxidant is qualified for ultrasensitive CL immunoassay in a similar procedure to the biotin-avidin and magnetic separation involved commercial CL immunoassay and exhibits acceptable performance for linearly determining carcinoembryonic antigen from 50 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL with a limit of detection of 10 pg/mL (S/N = 3). This strategy provides a general route to develop nanoparticulate CL luminophores and might eventually enable CL multiplexing assay via extensively exploiting the CL of different wavebands.

Abstract
With the disadvantages of indirect band gap, low carrier mobility, and large lattice mismatch with other semiconductor materials, one of the current challenges in Si-based materials and structures is to prepare low-dimensional high-performance optoelectronic devices. In this work, an individual ZnO microwire via Ga-incorproration (ZnO:Ga MW) was employed to prepare a light-emitting/detecting bifunctional heterojunction structure, combined with p-type Si crystal wafer as a hole transporting layer. In a forward-bias regime, red luminescence peaking at around 680 nm was captured. While, the fabricated heterojunction device also exhibited an obvious photoresponse in the ultraviolet wavelengths. Interestingly, the introduction of Ag nanowires (AgNWs) are utilized to increase light output with amplitude 4 times higher than with that of naked wire-based LEDs. Similarly, the performance parameters of the fabricated n-AgNWs@ZnO:Ga MW/p-Si heterojunction photodetector are significantly enhanced, containing a responsivity of 5.52 A W-1, detectivity of 2.34 × 1012 Jones, external quantum efficiency of 1.9 × 103% illuminated under 370 nm at -1 V. We compare this work with previous reported photodetectors based on various ZnO/Si-based materials and structures, some performance parameters are not superior, but our constructed n-AgNWs@ZnO:Ga MW/p-Si heterojunction photodetector has comparable overall characteristics, and our findings stand out especially for providing an inexpensive and suitable pathway for developing low-cost, miniaturized and integrated ultraviolet photodetectors. The demonstration of AgNWs enhanced low-dimensional light-emitting/detecting bifunctional photodiodes can offer a promising scheme to construct high-performance Si-based optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Metal-semiconductor hybrid nanoheterostructures have the possibility to exhibit new synergic properties other than the combination of properties from discrete components due to the interaction of metal and semiconductor components at the interfaces. Here, we have synthesized Ag-Cu2O eyeball-shaped quantum nanoheterostructures with diameter ranging between 8 and 12 nm using a single-step low-cost solvothermal process. It is observed that the presence of a minimum 3% of Ag is required for the formation of Ag-Cu2O quantum nanoheterostructures. The formation of nanoheterostructures has introduced new synergic properties like intense blue luminescence and surface-enhanced Raman scattering due to the interactions between Ag and Cu2O atoms at the interfaces. The significant presence of charge transfer through the interfaces is identified from the peak shift of Raman modes. The increase in the electron density at the metal surface due to the charge transfer and the recombination of these electrons with sp- or d-band holes of Ag could be the effective mechanism of the observed blue luminescence. The blue luminescence of Ag-Cu2O quantum nanoheterostructures together with its low band gap value (≈2.3 eV) is believed to have important applications in optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Van der Waals (vdW)-integrated heterojunctions have been widely investigated in optoelectronics due to their superior photoelectric conversion capability. In this work, 0D bismuth quantum dots (Bi QDs)-decorated 1D tellurium nanotubes (Te NTs) vdW heterojunctions (Te@Bi vdWHs) are constructed by a facile bottom-up assembly process. Transient absorption spectroscopy suggests that Te@Bi vdWH is a promising candidate for new-generation optoelectronic devices with fast response properties. The subsequent experiments and density functional theory calculations demonstrate the vdW interaction between Te NTs and Bi QDs, as well as the enhanced optoelectronic characteristics owing to the plasma effects at the interface between Te NTs and Bi QDs. Moreover, Te@Bi vdWHs-based photodetectors show significantly improved photoresponse behavior in the ultraviolet region compared to pristine Te NTs or Bi QDs-based photodetectors. The proposed integration of vdWHs is expected to pave the way for constructing new nanoscale heterodevices.

Abstract
We demonstrate surface plasmon induced enhancement and tunablilty in optical emission properties of two dimensional graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets through the attachment of gold (Au) nanoparticles. Raman spectroscopy has revealed surface enhanced Raman scattering that arises due to the combined effect of the charge transfer process and localized surface plasmon induced enhancement in electromagnetic field, both occurring at the nanoparticle-nanosheet interface. Photoluminescence studies suggest that at an optimal concentration of nanoparticles, the emission intensity can be enhanced, which is maximum within the 500-525 nm region. Further, the fabricated electroluminescent devices reveal that the emission feature can be tuned from bluish-green to red (∼160 nm shift) upon attaching Au nanoparticles. We propose that the π*→π transition in g-C3N4 can trigger surface plasmon oscillation in Au, which subsequently increases the excitation process in the nanosheets and results in enhanced emission in the green region of the photoluminescence spectrum. On the other hand, electroluminescence of g-C3N4 can induce plasmon oscillation more efficiently and thus can lead to red emission from Au nanoparticles through the radiative damping of particle plasmons. The influence of nanoparticle size and coverage on the emission properties of two dimensional g-C3N4, nanosheets has also been studied in detail.

Abstract
Electrically driven wavelength-tunable light emission from biased individual Ga-doped ZnO microwires (ZnO:Ga MWs) is demonstrated. Single crystalline ZnO:Ga MWs with different Ga-doping concentrations have been synthesized using a one-step chemical vapor deposition method. Strong electrically driven light emission from individual ZnO:Ga MW based devices is realized with tunable colors, and the emission region is localized toward the center of the wires. Increasing Ga-doping concentration in the MWs can lead to the redshift of electroluminescent emissions in the visible range. Interestingly, owing to the lack of rectification characteristics, relevant electrical measurement results show that the alternating current-driven light emission functions excellently on the ZnO:Ga MWs. Consequently, individual ZnO:Ga MWs, which can be analogous to incandescent sources, offer unique possibilities for future electroluminescence light sources. This typical multicolor emitter can be used to rival and complement other conventional semiconductor devices in displays and lighting.

Abstract
Luminescent ZnO quantum dots (QDs) have been prepared, and the fluorescence intensity of the QDs can be increased greatly with the introduction of carbon nanodots, while the fluorescence lifetime of the QDs decreases significantly. The fluorescence enhancement and lifetime decrement can be attributed to the surface plasmon effect of the carbon nanodots, and the calculated surface plasmon resonance frequency of the nanodots matches well with the fluorescence spectrum of the ZnO QDs.

Abstract
We investigated the surface photovoltage (SPV) behaviors of ZnO/Ag one-dimensional (1D) nanogratings using Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). The grating structure could couple surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) with photons, giving rise to strong light confinement at the ZnO/Ag interface. The larger field produced more photo-excited carriers and increased the SPV. SPP excitation influenced the spatial distribution of the photo-excited carriers and their recombination processes. As a result, the SPV relaxation time clearly depended on the wavelength and polarization of the incident light. All of these results suggested that SPV measurement using KPFM should be very useful for studying the plasmonic effects in nanoscale metal/semiconductor hybrid structures.

Abstract
Strong coupling of plasmons and molecules generates intriguingly hybridized resonance. The IR-806 molecule is a near-infrared cyanine liquid crystal dye with multiple molecular bands and its tunable absorption spectrum varies dramatically with concentration. In this article, we investigate multiple hybridized resonances of the Au nanorods (AuNRs) strongly coupled to IR-806 molecules. Five hybridized resonance peaks are observed in the extinction spectra of the AuNR@IR-806 hybrids. Two resonance peaks at approximately 840 and 912 nm in the hybrids are reported for the first time. The dependence of the multiple hybridized peaks on the bare plasmon resonance wavelength of AuNRs and the molecular concentration is also demonstrated. The observations presented herein provide a plasmon-molecule coupling route for tuning optical responses of liquid crystal molecules.
