文摘Wearable flexible sensor devices have the characteristics of lightweight and miniaturization.Currently,power supply and detection components limit the portability of wearable flexible sensor devices.Meanwhile,conventional liquid electrolytes are unsuitable for the integration of sensing devices.To address these constraints,wearable biofuel cells and flexible electrochromic displays have been introduced,which can improve integration with other devices,safety,and color-coded display data.Meanwhile,electrode chips prepared through screen printing technology can further improve portability.In this work,a wearable sensor device with screen-printed chips was constructed and used for non-invasive detection of glucose.Agarose gel electrolytes doped with PDA-CNTs were prepared,and the mechanical strength and moisture retention were significantly improved compared with traditional gel electrolytes.Glucose in interstitial fluid was non-invasive extracted to the skin surface using reverse iontophoresis.As a biofuel for wearable biofuel cells,glucose drives self-powered sensor and electrochromic display to produce color change,allowing for visually measurement of glucose levels in body fluids.Accurate detection results can be visualized by reading the RGB value with a cell phone.
文摘Tamm plasmon polaritons(TPPs)are localized photonic states at the interface between a metal layer and one-dimensional(1D)photonic crystal substrate.Unlike surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs),TPPs can be excited by both transverse magnetic and electric waves without requiring additional coupling optics.TPPs offer robust color filtering,making them ideal for applications such as complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS)image detectors.However,obtaining a large-area,reversible,and reconfigurable filter remains challenging.This study demonstrates a dynamically reconfigurable reflective color filter by integrating an ultrathin antimony trisulfide(Sb_(2)S_(3))layer with Tamm plasmonic photonic crystals.Reconfigurable tuning was achieved by inducing Sb_(2)S_(3) crystallization and reamorphization via thermal and optical activation,respectively.The material exhibited good stability after multiple switching cycles.The reflectance spectrum can be tuned across the visible range,with a shift of approximately 50 nm by switching Sb_(2)S_(3) between its amorphous and crystalline phases.This phase transition is nonvolatile and substantially minimizes the energy consumption,enhancing efficiency for practical applications.Tamm plasmonic photonic crystals are low-cost and large-scale production,offering a platform for compact color display systems and customizable photonic crystal filters for realistic system integration.

文摘The utilization of color patterns has been widely employed in encryption and displays.Printing-based nanostructures are gaining traction in color displays,showcasing remarkable resolution but facing limitations in reconfigurability.Here,we demonstrate a flexible scanning process using optical tweezers to trap silicon nanoparticles(SiNPs)for converting their trajectories into vibrant dynamic color patterns.In this process,the optical potential well stably captures a single SiNP while moving in three-dimensional space at a speed of about 1000μm/s,leading to the display of dynamic color patterns due to persistence of vision(POV).Leveraging the tunable ability provided by Mie resonances within the visible band,the scattering color can be altered simply by adjusting the number of trapped SiNPs,thereby enabling the creation of tunable high-saturation color patterns.This strategy is further explored for flexible design of composite images with potential applications in anticounterfeiting and dynamic display.

文摘Super-fine electrohydrodynamic inkjet(SIJ)printing of perovskite nanocrystal(PNC)colloid ink exhibits significant potential in the fabrication of high-resolution color conversion microstructures arrays for fullcolor micro-LED displays.However,the impact of solvent on both the printing process and the morphology of SIJ-printed PNC color conversion microstructures remains underexplored.In this study,we prepared samples of CsPbBr3PNC colloid inks in various solvents and investigated the solvent's impact on SIJ printed PNC microstructures.Our findings reveal that the boiling point of the solvent is crucial to the SIJ printing process of PNC colloid inks.Only does the boiling point of the solvent fall in the optimal range,the regular positioned,micron-scaled,conical PNC microstructures can be successfully printed.Below this optimal range,the ink is unable to be ejected from the nozzle;while above this range,irregular positioned microstructures with nanoscale height and coffee-ring-like morphology are produced.Based on these observations,high-resolution color conversion PNC microstructures were effectively prepared using SIJ printing of PNC colloid ink dispersed in dimethylbenzene solvent.

文摘Flexible electrochromic devices(FECDs)demonstrate significant potential for applications in wearable elec-tronics,military camouflage,and flexible smart displays.As a crucial electrochromic material,poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate(PEDOT:PSS)is widely used in FECDs due to its excellent mechanical flexibility,tunable conductivity,and non-toxicity.However,the manufacturing process for patterned PEDOT:PSS electrochromic devices remains intricate,costly,and challenging to personalize.To address this challenge,we have developed a 3D-printable ink with controllable rheological properties through a concentration-tuning strategy,enabling programmable,patterned printing of PEDOT-based conductive polymer electrochromic layers.The 3D-printed FECDs exhibit outstanding electrochromic performance,including a high optical contrast(up to 47.9%at 635 nm),fast response times(t_(c)=1.6 s;t_(b)=0.6 s),high coloration efficiency(352 cm^(2) C^(-1)),and good cycling stability(with only a 9.3%decrease in optical contrast after 100 electrochemical cycles).Finally,we utilize 3D printing technology to construct flexible,patterned PEDOT:PSS electrochromic devices with bespoke butterfly designs.This work establishes the theoretical foundation for the application of 3D printing technology in PEDOT:PSS flexible electrochromic devices.

文摘High-fidelity tactile rendering offers significant potential for improving the richness and immersion of touchscreen interactions.This study focuses on a quantitative description of tactile rendering fidelity using a custom-designed hybrid electrovibration and mechanical vibration(HEM)device.An electrovibration and mechanical vibration(EMV)algorithm that renders 3D gratings with different physical heights was proposed and shown to achieve 81%accuracy in shape recognition.Models of tactile rendering fidelity were established based on the evaluation of the height discrimination threshold,and the psychophysical-physical relationships between the discrimination and reference heights were well described by a modification of Weber’s law,with correlation coefficients higher than 0.9.The physiological-physical relationship between the pulse firing rate and the physical stimulation voltage was modeled using the Izhikevich spiking model with a logarithmic relationship.

文摘Black wings of butterfly Ornithoptera goliath and infrared-band radiative cooling function of Rapala dioetas butterfly wings are associated with black pigment(e.g.,melanin)and unique hierarchical micro/nanostructures,greatly stimulating biomimetic fabrication of functional photonic structures but mainly targeted to one prototype.Targeted at two-prototype integrated biomimetic fabrication from fully compositional/structural/functional aspects,femtosecond(fs)laser subtractive/additive-integrated hierarchical micro/nano-manufacturing technique is proposed in this work.This technique can one-step transfer refractory metals(e.g.,W,Mo,Nb,Ta)into black non-stoichiometric oxide nanomaterials with abundant oxygen vacancies and simultaneously enable the realization of in situ quasi-controllable micro/nanoscale hierarchical aggregation and assembly,all displaying black color but with tunable infrared emission.Adjusting the scan interval for biomimetic manufacturing can tailor the structural oxidation degree,the emission in the long-wave infrared(LWIR)band while keeping the blackness of hierarchical aggregates,and the confined height between the covering quartz plate and the ablated sample.The blackening efficiency of this technique can reach∼11.25 cm^(2)·min^(−1),opening opportunities for high-throughput optical/thermal applications.Selectively patterned Chinese characters,Arabic numbers,and English letters are easily fabricable,which are intrinsically invisible-infrared dual-band encrypted but decryptable via static/dynamic environment stimuli(e.g.,sample heating/cooling,introducing external hot/cold sources including human hands).The self-evolution from‘orderless’structuring to‘ordered’functionalization is validated for the proposed fs laser subtractive/additive-integrated biomimetic manufacturing,specifically from the synthesis of diverse black nanomaterials and the seemingly disordered micro/nano-aggregates to the ordered optical/thermal regulation capacities for a delicate modulation of information encryption and decryption,unveiling a new concept for future exploration and extension.
