文摘Polymer dielectrics possessing excellent electrical insulation and high thermal conductivity are pivotal for dielectric capacitors at elevated temperatures.However,the integration of electrical insulation and thermal conductivity in polymers remains a challenge.In this work,we present a feasible strategy to integrate high electrical insulation and high thermal conductivity by bonding carbon quantum dots(CQDs)with the diamine monomer of polyetherimide(PEI).The CQDs with Coulomb blockade effect serve as traps for the migrating of electrons in the dielectrics,while the bonding networks formed by CQDs and PEI further deepen the traps and augment trap density.As a result,the hybrid dielectrics(PEI-NH_(2)-CQDs)exhibit nearly an order of magnitude higher electrical resistivity than that of pure PEI,leading to an 80%increase in discharge energy density with an energy efficiency of 90%at 200℃ compared to pure counterpart.Additionally,this all-organic dielectric achieves a significantly increased thermal conductivity of 0.65 W m^(-1) K^(-1) compared to 0.26 W m^(-1) K^(-1) of PEI,which supports its cyclic stability at elevated temperatures.We also demonstrate the kilogram-scale production of CQDs,synthesizing over 8 kg in a single batch,paving the way for large-scale production of reliable PEI-NH_(2)-CQDs dielectrics.

文摘The crystallization of ionic crystals has traditionally been explained by Gibbs's classical nucleation theory.However,recent observations of intermediate phases during nucleation suggest that the process may be more complex,necessitating new theoretical frameworks,though key empirical evidence remains elusive.In this study,we used microdroplets to investigate the crystallization of sodium halides(NaCl,NaBr,and NaI)under homogeneous nucleation conditions across a wide range of supersaturations.In the evaporating droplet,NaCl follows the classical nucleation pathway,whereas NaBr and NaI exhibit the formation of an intermediate phase prior to the nucleation of anhydrous and hydrous single crystals,respectively.Optical and computational analyses indicate that these intermediate phases are liquid crystal phases composed of contact ion pairs.These findings establish a new theoretical framework for crystal nucleation and growth and offer methods to control nucleation pathways,enabling us to achieve desired crystals regardless of specific conditions.

文摘Photocatalysis is one of the most capable green energy techniques for sustainable solar-to-chemical energy conversion.However,the speedy recombination of photocarriers remains a critical bottleneck in achieving high photocatalytic efficiency.Recent advancements have underscored the pivotal role of internal and external electrostatic fields in regulating charge dynamics within semiconductor systems.This review highlights the emerging strategy of employing non-covalent electrostatic interactions to modulate photocatalytic behavior.Internally,spontaneous polarization within polar or ferroelectric semiconductors facilitates efficient charge separation through built-in electric fields.Externally applied mechanical stress and magnetic fields further augment these effects via piezoelectric and magnetoelectric phenomena,offering dynamic control over carrier transport.Beyond macroscopic fields,subtle non-covalent electrostatic forces,such as hydrogen bonds,van der Waals forces,andπ-πstacking,significantly influence surface adsorption,electronic structure modulation,and interfacial charge transfer processes.Combining these external influences with semiconductor properties,we can develop innovative strategies to stabilize the reactive intermediates and reduce the recombination pathways,improving the practical implications of these synergistic effects in energy conversion and environmental remediation.This review systematically elucidates the mechanistic contributions of internal polarization and external fields to the modulation of non-covalent electrostatic forces in photocatalytic systems.Emphasis is placed on material design strategies that integrate structural polarity,field-responsive behavior,and interfacial engineering to achieve superior photocatalytic performance.Finally,the prospects of non-covalent electrostatic interactions in photocatalysis are discussed,providing insights to guide the rational development of more efficient and sustainable photocatalytic systems.

文摘Ultra-high temperature materials are desirable to withstand the severe aero-thermochemical environments of hypersonic flight,paving the groundworks for flight speeds exceeding Mach 5.Here,we present a novel ultra-high temperature composite with superior ablation resistances up to 3000℃for 900 s,utilizing a tailored ultra-high melting point HfC_(0.76)N_(0.24)matrix reinforced with short carbon fibers.The ablation-resistant capability of this composite is over 14 times greater than that of HfC at 3000℃.Furthermore,this research presents the first comprehensive investigation into the internal mechanisms governing thermal oxidation evolution of HfC_(0.76)N_(0.24)matrix through a combination of experimental results and theoretical simulations.The mechanistic details of these complex oxidation processes are elucidated in terms of chemical bonding and clusters evolutions,along with their relationship to cooperative oxygen atoms and molecules.Notably,nitrogen atoms do not directly generate gas and escape from the composites,rather,they interact with hafnium atoms to form Hf-C-N-O clusters with robust bonding for enhanced viscosity during ablation.These findings provide valuable insights into the transition from micro to macro scales,which will be the paradigm of inspiring and accelerating materials discovery in this field,as well as taking advantage of their full potential in the application of hypersonic aircraft and spacecraft vehicles.

文摘Pursuing new two-dimensional(2D)materials has been a hot topic in materials science,driven by their potential for diverse applications.Recent research has unveiled stable planar hypercoordinate motifs with unconventional geometric arrangements and bonding patterns that facilitate the synthesis of new 2D materials with diverse applications.Among these,yet the design of 2D transition metal systems featuring planar pentacoordinate boron(ppB)is particularly intriguing.Here we address this gap by proposing a novel family of transition metal boride monolayers(MBenes)composed of ppB and heptacoordinate M motifs.The novelty of our MBenes stems from their distinct atomic arrangements and bonding configurations,setting them apart from traditional 2D materials.High-throughput calculations identified 10 stable MBenes(with the stoichiometry of MB,M=Cr,Fe,Co,Ni,Cu,Mo,Pd,Ag,Pt,Au)with exceptional thermodynamic,dynamic,thermal,and mechanical stabilities attributed to strong BB covalent bonds and MB ionic interactions.Notably,five of these MBenes(M=Ni,Pd,Pt,Ag,Au)hold high promise as topological superconducting materials with superconducting transition temperatures of 2.4-5.2 K.This discovery not only enriches the family of topological superconducting materials but also opens new avenues for quantum device development.Meanwhile,FeB monolayer exhibits robust ferromagnetic properties with a high Curie temperature of~750 K,which is particularly significant for spintronics applications.In addition,NiB and CuB MBenes demonstrate extremely low sodium diffusion barriers(about 30 and 90 meV)and high sodium storage capacities(788 and 734 mAh g1,respectively),making them promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs).This study expands the selection of electrode materials for SIBs and mitigates some existing limitations in battery technology.Overall,these findings underscore the multifunctional potential of MBenes,positioning them as transformative materials for quantum computing,spintronics,and energy storage applications.

文摘Ferroelectric materials are gaining increasing attention for the development of advanced catalytic technologies due to their field-responsive polarization states.However,achieving dynamic optimization of catalytic activity using ferroelectrics remains a fundamental challenge.Inspired by the force-adaptive mechanisms of fish scales,we introduce an intracrystalline force regulation strategy to dynamically control cobalt spin states and enhance peroxymonosulfate(PMS)activation in Fenton-like processes.This approach utilizes BaTi_(0.92)Co_(0.08)O_(3-δ)(BTC-8)nano-ferroelectrics,where ultrasound irradiation generates a built-in electric field that drives electrons towards cobalt sites.This electron transfer is further facilitated by electronegativity differences between cobalt and barium/titanium ions.The resulting piezo-driven electron flow promotes continuous regeneration of high-spin Co^(2+),enhancing PMS adsorption and SO_(4)^(-)-OH bond cleavage,leading to increased production of⋅SO_(4)^(-)and singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2))for organic pollutant degradation.Consequently,BTC-8 achieves a reaction rate(k=1.7960 min^(-1))28.93 times higher than that of pure barium titanate,surpassing previously reported PMS activation and piezocatalytic systems.This work represents a shift from static electronic structure design to dynamic electronic engineering in the development of advanced catalytic strategies for water remediation.

文摘Amorphous transition metal compounds(a-TMC)become one of the most promising pre-catalysts toward oxygen evolution reaction(OER)due to their high-entropy nature and flexible self-reconstruction to highly active derivatives.However,the loosen bonds inside the amorphous structure make it an electronic insulator with unstable structure.Here,monodispersed Ni^(2+)-phytate nanospheres implanted by Fe^(3+)ions(NS_(FeNiPA))were firstly prepared and subsequently transferred into homogeneous high-entropy type Fe-Ni-P-O-C amorphous nanospheres(CNS_(FeNiPO)).It is shown that the CNS_(FeNiPO) presents robust structure and remarkable Fe ions migration during potential-driven activation process,which benefits efficient surface reconstruction and spherical morphology preservation.The CNS_(FeNiPO) with low mass loading of 0.1mg/cm^(2)could deliver small overpotential of 270mV at 10mAcm^(−2)and almost 100%retention of the initial current density after 10h test.The improved electrocatalytic activity is attributed to the boosted electron transfer from Ni sites to O-containing intermediates by introduction of Fe and P atoms.Moreover,rechargeable Zn-air battery with CNS_(FeNiPO)+Pt/C could achieve lower charge potential platform and better cycling performance than that with commercial RuO_(2)+Pt/C.This work provides new insights into the design and understanding of high-entropy amorphous pre-catalysts toward OER.

文摘Generally,referring to the stability of perovskite,the most studied perovskite material has been MA-free mixed-cationperovskite.The precise role of MA in the light-thermal-humid stability of perovskite solar cells still lacks ofa systematically understanding.In this work,the evolution of crystallographic structures,intermediate phase,ultrafast dynamics,and thermal decomposition behavior of MA-mixed perovskite FA_(1-x)MA_(x)PbI_(3)(x=0–100%)areinvestigated.The influence of MA on the stability of devices under heat,light,and humidity exposure arerevealed.In the investigated compositional space(x=0–100%),device efficiencies vary from 19.5%to 22.8%,andthe light,thermal,and humidity exposure stability of the related devices are obviously improved forFA1-xMAxPbI_(3)(x=20%–30%).Incorporation 20%–30%of MA cations lowers nucleation barrier and causes asignificant volume shrinkage,which enhances the interaction between FA and I,thus improving crystallizationand stability of the FA_(1-x)MA_(x)PbI_(3).Thermal behavior analysis reveals that the decomposition temperature of FA_(0.8)MA_(0.2)PbI_(3)reaches 247℃(FAPbI_(3),233℃)and trace amounts of MA cations enhance the thermal stability ofthe perovskite.Remarkably,we observe lattice shrinkage using spherical aberration corrected transmissionelectron microscope(AC-TEM).This work implies that stabilizing perovskites will be realized by incorporatingtrace amounts of MA,which improve the crystallization and carrier transport,leading to improved stability andperformances.
