We present a biology-inspired robotenvironment-interaction active matter system with the field-drive motion and the rules of resource search, resource consumption, and resource recovery. In an environmental compression–expansion cycle, the swarm emerges a series of boundary-dependent phase transitions, and the whole evolution process is time-reversal symmetry-breaking;we call this phenomenon “orderly hysteresis”.

文摘S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts have been the“stars”in the field of photocatalysis.Herein,a novel S-scheme heterojunction of Ta_(3)N_(5)/BiOCl with oxygen vacancies(OVs)was fabricated via a facile method.The charge separation and transport mechanism of this Ta_(3)N_(5)/BiOCl S-scheme heterojunction was verified by the analyses of band energy structures,active species,photoelectric behaviors and DFT theoretical calculation.Compared with Ta_(3)N_(5)and BiOCl,the Ta_(3)N_(5)/BiOCl unveils substantially upgraded photocatalytic property under visible light,and the photocatalytic efficiency for removal of tetracycline(TC)and hexavalent chromium(Cr(VI))reaches 89.6%and 91.6%,respectively.The substantial enhancement of the photocatalytic activity is attributed to the synergistic effect of the S-scheme hetero-structure and oxygen vacancies,which improves the visible-light absorption,while promoting the spatial separation of charge carriers with the optimum redox capacity,thereby boosting the production of active species for catalytic reactions.The TC degradation pathway is deduced and the toxicity evolution of TC is appraised using the QSAR method.In a nutshell,this work gives a deep understanding of the photocatalytic mechanism based on Ta_(3)N_(5)/BiOCl as well as presents a newfangled thought for developing highly efficient S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts for water decontamination.

文摘With a large number of researches being conducted on two?dimen?sional(2D) materials, their unique properties in optics, electrics, mechanics, and magnetics have attracted increasing attention. Accordingly, the idea of combining distinct functional 2D materials into heterostructures naturally emerged that pro?vides unprecedented platforms for exploring new physics that are not accessible in a single 2D material or 3D heterostructures. Along with the rapid development of controllable, scalable, and programmed synthesis techniques of high?quality 2D heterostructures, various heterostructure devices with extraordinary performance have been designed and fabricated, including tunneling transistors, photodetectors, and spintronic devices. In this review, we present a summary of the latest progresses in fabrications, properties, and applications of di erent types of 2D heterostruc?tures, followed by the discussions on present challenges and perspectives of further investigations.

文摘Spintronics,exploiting the spin degree of electrons as the information vector,is an attractive field for implementing the beyond Complemetary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS)devices.Recently,two-dimensional(2D)materials have been drawing tremendous attention in spintronics owing to their distinctive spin-dependent properties,such as the ultralong spin relaxation time of graphene and the spin-valley locking of transition metal dichalcogenides.Moreover,the related heterostructures provide an unprecedented probability of combining the di erent characteristics via proximity e ect,which could remedy the limitation of individual 2D materials.Hence,the proximity engineering has been growing extremely fast and has made significant achievements in the spin injection and manipulation.Nevertheless,there are still challenges toward practical application;for example,the mechanism of spin relaxation in 2D materials is unclear,and the high-effciency spin gating is not yet achieved.In this review,we focus on 2D materials and related heterostructures to systematically summarize the progress of the spin injection,transport,manipulation,and application for information storage and processing.We also highlight the current challenges and future perspectives on the studies of spintronic devices based on 2D materials.
文摘Three-dimensional crack closure correction methods are investigated in this paper.The fatigue crack growth tests of surface cracks in 14MnNbq steel for bridge plate subjected to tensile and bending loadings are systematically conducted.The experimentally measured fatigue crack growth rates of surface cracks are compared with those of through-thickness cracks in detail.It is found that the crack growth rates of surface cracks are lower than those of through-thickness cracks.In order to correct their differences in fatigue crack growth rates, a dimensionless crack closure correction model is proposed.Although this correction model is determined only by the experimental data of surface cracks under tensile loading with a constant ratio R=0.05, it can correlate the surface crack growth rates with reasonable accuracy under tensile and bending loadings with various stress ratios ranging from 0 to 0.5.Furthermore, predictions of fatigue life and crack aspect ratio for surface cracks are discussed, and the predicted results are also compared with those obtained from other prediction approaches.Comparison results show that the proposed crack closure correction model gives better prediction of fatigue life than other models.

文摘Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy(FLIM)has been rapidly developed over the past 30 years and widely applied in biomedical engineering.Recent progress in fluorophore-dyed probe design has widened the application prospects of fluorescence.Because fluorescence lifetime is sensitive to microenvironments and molecule alterations,FLIM is promising for the detection of pathological conditions.Current cancer-related FLIM applications can be divided into three main categories:(i)FLIM with autofluorescence molecules in or out of a cell,especially with reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide,and flavin adenine dinucleotide for cellular metabolism research;(ii)FLIM with Förster resonance energy transfer for monitoring protein interactions;and(iii)FLIM with fluorophore-dyed probes for specific aberration detection.Advancements in nanomaterial production and efficient calculation systems,as well as novel cancer biomarker discoveries,have promoted FLIM optimization,offering more opportunities for medical research and applications to cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring.This review summarizes cutting-edge researches from 2015 to 2020 on cancer-related FLIM applications and the potential of FLIM for future cancer diagnosis methods and anti-cancer therapy development.We also highlight current challenges and provide perspectives for further investigation.

文摘Boundary effect and time-reversal symmetry are hot topics in active matter. We present a biology-inspired robotenvironment-interaction active matter system with the field-drive motion and the rules of resource search, resource consumption, and resource recovery. In an environmental compression–expansion cycle, the swarm emerges a series of boundary-dependent phase transitions, and the whole evolution process is time-reversal symmetry-breaking;we call this phenomenon “orderly hysteresis”. We present the influence of the environmental recovery rate on the dynamic collective behavior of the swarm.
文摘The development of distinguished photocatalysts with high photo-carrier disassociation and photo-redox power for efficient elimination of pollutants in water is of great significance but still a grand challenge.Herein,a novel Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S/Bi_(2)WO_(6) S-scheme heterojunction was built up by integrating Cd0.5Zn0.5S nanoparticles on Bi2WO6 microspheres via a simple route.The S-scheme charge transfer mode substantially boosts the high-energetic electrons/holes spatial detachment and conservation on the Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S(reduction)and Bi_(2)WO_(6)(oxidation),respectively,as well as effectively suppresses the photo-corrosion of Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S,rendering Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S/Bi_(2)WO_(6) photocatalysts with superior redox ability.The optimal Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S/Bi_(2)WO_(6) heterojunction achieves exceptional visible-light-driven photocatalytic tetracycline degradation and Cr(VI)reduction efficiency,3.2(1.9)-time and 33.6(1.6)-time stronger than that of neat Bi_(2)WO_(6)(Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S),while retaining the superior stability and reusability.Quenching test,mass spectrometry analysis,and toxicity assessment based on Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships.calculation unravel the prime active substances,intermediates,photo-degradation pathway,and intermediate eco-toxicity in photocatalytic process.This research not only offers a potential photocatalyst for aquatic environment protection but also promotes the exploration of novel and powerful chalcogenides-based S-scheme photocatalysts for environment protection.
