To address these challenges, this study develops a hybrid composite structure— polycrystalline powder(PCP) matrix(PCPM)—by strategically homogenizing 20 μm PCPs within a poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix. Such a configuration enables the formation of densely packed PCP microstructures while maintaining electric conductivity and mechanical flexibility. In the single-photon regime, responsivity(R) and external quantum efficiency(EQE) decline by 50%, with concurrent 3–4-fold enhancements in the On/Off ratio and 12–16-fold improvements in specific detectivity(D), compared with those of SC counterparts. Notably, in the two-photon regime, R and EQE exhibit a 2–3-fold increase, and the On/Off ratio and D exhibit 12–16-fold improvements. The PCPM configuration enables the high-repetitionrate wafer-scale fabrication of active layers for imaging PDs and provides exceptional mechanical flexibility and self-recovery. These findings establish PCPMs as a scalable platform for next-generation perovskite wearable electronics.展开更多

文摘Zinc-air batteries(ZABs)are promising candidates for flexible electronics due to their high energy density and low cost.However,their development is hindered by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)and oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).Herein,we present a novel heterostructured electrocatalyst composed of vertically aligned N-doped graphene(NVG)arrays anchored on Ru-doped ceria(RCO)nanofibers,synthesized via a one-step plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition process.Notably,during the plasma-enhanced driven NVG growth,Ru nanoparticles are spontaneously in-situ exsolved from the RCO lattice,forming a unique Ru@RCO-NVG heterostructure.Density functional theory calculations reveal that the Ru@RCO-NVG heterojunction induces interfacial electronic redistribution,thereby significantly lowering the energy barriers for both OER and ORR.Benefiting from the synergistic effects,the Ru@RCO-NVG catalyst exhibits exceptional intrinsic activity towards OER/ORR(an overpotential of 370 mV for OER at 10 mA cm^(−2)and a half-wave potential of 0.86 V for ORR),and higher all-solid-state flexible ZAB performance(peak power density of 286.1 mW cm^(−2)),surpassing commercial Pt/C-IrO_(2)catalysts.This work not only advances the integration of synergistic graphene/ceria composites but also offers a promising strategy for designing efficient electrocatalysts for next-generation energy conversion technologies.

文摘An analytical model of a floating heaving box integrated with a vertical flexible porous membrane placed right next to the box applications to wave energy extraction and breakwater systems is developed under the reduced wave equation.The theoretical solutions for the heave radiating potential to the assigned physical model in the corresponding zones are attained by using the separation of variables approach along with the Fourier expansion.Applying the matching eigenfunction expansion technique and orthogonal conditions,the unknown coefficients that are involved in the radiated potentials are determined.The attained radiation potential allows the computation of hydrodynamic coefficients of the heaving buoy,Power Take-Off damping,and wave quantities.The accuracy of the analytical solution for the hydrodynamic coefficients is demonstrated for different oblique angles with varying numbers of terms in the series solution.The current analytical analysis findings are confirmed by existing published numerical boundary element method simulations.Several numerical results of the hydrodynamic coefficients,power capture,power take-off optimal damping,and transmission coefficients for numerous structural and physical aspects are conducted.It has been noted that the ideal power take-off damping increases as the angle of incidence rises,and the analysis suggests that the ability to capture waves is more effective in shallower waters compared to deeper ones.

文摘Conducting hydrogels have garnered significant interest in the field of wearable electronics.However,simultaneously achieving high transparency,high conductivity,strong adhesion,and self-healing ability within a short time remains a major challenge.In this study,a multifunctional mussel-inspired hydrogel was synthesized in only 5 min,with polydopamine(PDA)-polypyrrole(Ppy)-polyaniline(PANi)and poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)nanoparticles incorporated into the polyacrylamide(PAM)network.The resulting hydrogel exhibited high transparency(about 90% light transmission in the range of 400-800 nm),high conductivity((95.4±0.4)×10^(-4)S/cm),tensile strength(32.60±1.03 k Pa),strain at break(904.46%±11.50%),and adhesive strength(30-60 k Pa).It also demonstrated rapid self-healing properties(about 48% strength recovery within 1h at 50℃)and water-dependent shape memory behavior.As a wearable strain sensor,the hydrogel successfully detected finger flexion,wrist movements,facial expression changes,and breathing with high sensitivity and stability.The calculated gauge factor(GF)was 7.44±0.31,which is higher than that of many previously reported hydrogels.Compared with previous oyster-inspired or Ppy-based hydrogels,our system showed a much shorter synthesis time,higher transparency,and enhanced multifunctionality.These findings highlight the potential of the proposed hydrogel for next-generation flexible electronics,e-skin,and biomedical monitoring devices.

文摘Lead halide perovskites have emerged as promising scintillators for X-ray imaging owing to their high Xray absorption efficiency,excellent luminescence properties,and facile synthesis.However,their intrinsic ionic nature poses a fundamental challenge in simultaneously achieving high photoluminescence efficiency and environmental robustness.Here,we introduce a multilevel encapsulation strategy by sequentially coating CsPbBr_(3)quantum dots(QDs)with Cs_(4)PbBr_(6),SiO_(2),and polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS),thereby synergistically enhancing both optical performance and stability.Cs_(4)PbBr_(6)effectively passivates surface defects of CsPbBr_(3)QDs,while the SiO_(2)and PDMS layers serve as protective barriers against moisture,heat,and radiation.The resulting CsPbBr_(3)@Cs_(4)PbBr_(6)/SiO_(2)/PDMS flexible films exhibit a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 85%,outstanding mechanical flexibility,and remarkable durability under stretching,bending,and compressing.Moreover,the films retain excellent emission stability under elevated temperatures,prolonged X-ray irradiation,and extended water immersion.X-ray imaging evaluations further demonstrate a spatial resolution of 12 lp/mm,enabling distortion-free imaging of curved objects,while their superior water resistance allows for long-term underwater X-ray imaging.This work highlights the critical role of hierarchical encapsulation in balancing luminescence efficiency and environmental stability,offering a viable pathway toward practical high-performance flexible perovskite scintillators.

文摘As Internet of Things(IoT)applications expand,Mobile Edge Computing(MEC)has emerged as a promising architecture to overcome the real-time processing limitations of mobile devices.Edge-side computation offloading plays a pivotal role in MEC performance but remains challenging due to complex task topologies,conflicting objectives,and limited resources.This paper addresses high-dimensional multi-objective offloading for serial heterogeneous tasks in MEC.We jointly consider task heterogeneity,high-dimensional objectives,and flexible resource scheduling,modeling the problem as a Many-objective optimization.To solve it,we propose a flexible framework integrating an improved cooperative co-evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition(MOCC/D)and a flexible scheduling strategy.Experimental results on benchmark functions and simulation scenarios show that the proposed method outperforms existing approaches in both convergence and solution quality.

文摘In bio-inspired flapping-wing flight,lift generation and flexible deformation are intrinsically coupled.Thus,an experimental study is conducted to reveal the fluid-structure interaction mechanism for a flexible plate undergoing pitching and plunging motion,and theoretical models are proposed to predict either lift or deformation based on a series of simplifying assumptions.It is indicated that flexible plates can effectively reduce the amplitude of lift and pitching moment coefficients during dynamic stall,with increased flexibility leading to higher load reduction.To investigate the effect of plate flexibility on lift,a definition of effective angle of attack is proposed,incorporating the pitching and plunging motion and chordwise deformation of the flexible plate,which can reduce the hysteresis effect of the lift coefficient during dynamic stall.As a consequence,a theoretical model is developed to predict lift based on observed motion and deformation.On the other hand,another theoretical model is developed to predict flexible-plate deformation utilizing aerodynamic forces,revealing the effect of leading-edge vortex evolution on passive deformation.The influence of kinematic parameters,including the maximum effective angle of attack,reduced frequency,and Strouhal number,on the aerodynamic forces is further studied.Compared with the rigid plate,flexible plates exhibit lower sensitivity of aerodynamic forces to changes in kinematic parameters due to their inherent compliance and resulting deformation.The proposed theoretical models can serve as a reference for aerodynamic and deformation prediction in bio-inspired flexible structures.

文摘This study investigates the motion behavior of a slender flexible particle in a backward-facing step(BFS)flow using the direct-forcing fictitious domain method,with a particular focus on the trapping phenomena near the separation vortex region.Three distinct motion modes are identified:periodic rotation or oscillation within the vortex(trapping),downstream transport(escape),and transition state exhibiting unstable trapping.A dynamic balance among inward migration,centrifugal effects,wall interactions,and elastic forces enables the particle to achieve stable orbital motion within two distinct limit cycles.The topology of these orbits is governed by parameters,including the aspect ratio,structural flexibility,deformation intensity,and fluid inertia,all of which are characterized by the Reynolds number(Re).Specifically,fluid inertia plays a dominant role in facilitating particle trapping.At a fixed Re,a particle with a smaller aspect ratio tends to migrate inward and become trapped,whereas one with a larger aspect ratio is more likely to escape.Structural flexibility,especially when enhanced by confinement near the wall,leads to elastic deformation that induces secondary vortices and a weak flipping motion.The deformation intensityαsignificantly influences the lateral migration of the slender particle after the initial release;a largerαcauses it to drift toward the channel centerline,increasing the probability of escape.These findings provide a theoretical foundation for optimizing the transport and capture of slender soft swimmers in complex flow environments.

文摘The rapid development of portable electronics,wearable technologies,and healthcare monitoring systems necessitates the innovation of flexible energy storage systems.Considering environmental pollution and the depletion of fossil resources,the utilization of renewable resources to engineer advanced flexible materials has become especially crucial.Cellulose,the most abundant natural polymer,has emerged as a promising precursor for advanced functional materials due to its unique structure and properties.Typically,the easy processability,tunable chemical structure,self-assembly behavior,mechanical strength,and reinforcing capability enable its utilization as binder,substrate,hybrid electrode,separator,and electrolyte reservoir for flexible energy storage devices.This review comprehensively summarizes the design,fabrication,and mechanical and electrochemical performances of cellulose-based materials.The structure and unique properties of cellulose are first briefly introduced.Then,the construction of cellulose-based materials in the forms of 1D fibers/filaments,2D films/membranes,3D hydrogels and aerogels is discussed,and the merits of cellulose in these materials are emphasized.After that,the various advanced applications in supercapacitors,lithium-ion batteries,lithium-sulfur batteries,sodium-ion batteries,metal-air batteries,and Zn-ion batteries are presented in detail.Finally,an outlook of the potential challenges and future perspectives in advanced cellulose-based materials for flexible energy storage systems is discussed.

文摘The lack of macro-continuity and mechanical strength of covalent organic frameworks(COFs)has significantly limited their practical applications.Here,we propose an“alcohol-triggered defect cleavage”strategy to precisely regulate the growth and stacking of COF grains through a moderate reversed Schiff base reaction,realizing the direct synthesis of COF nanofibers(CNFs)with high aspect ratio(L/D=103.05)and long length(>20μm).An individual CNF exhibits a biomimetic scale-like architecture,achieving superior flexibility and fatigue resistance under dynamic bending via a multiscale stress dissipation mechanism.Taking advantages of these structural features,we engineer CNF aerogels(CNF-As)with programmable porous structures(e.g.,honeycomb,lamellar,isotropic)via directional ice-template methodology.CNF-As demonstrate 100%COF content,high specific surface area(396.15 m^(2)g^(-1))and superelasticity(~0%elastic deformation after 500 compression cycles at 50%strain),outperforming most COF-based counterparts.Compared with the conventional COF aerogels,the unique structural features of CNF-A enable it to perform outstandingly in uranium extraction,with an 11.72-fold increment in adsorption capacity(920.12 mg g^(-1))and adsorption rate(89.9%),and a 2.48-fold improvement in selectivity(U/V=2.31).This study provides a direct strategy for the development of next-generation COF materials with outstanding functionality and structural robustness.

文摘Since the first design of tactile sensors was proposed by Harmon in 1982,tactile sensors have evolved through four key phases:industrial applications(1980s,basic pressure detection),miniaturization via MEMS(1990s),flexible electronics(2010s,stretchable materials),and intelligent systems(2020s-present,AI-driven multimodal sensing).With the innovation of material,processing techniques,and multimodal fusion of stimuli,the application of tactile sensors has been continuously expanding to a diversity of areas,including but not limited to medical care,aerospace,sports and intelligent robots.Currently,researchers are dedicated to develop tactile sensors with emerging mechanisms and structures,pursuing high-sensitivity,high-resolution,and multimodal characteristics and further constructing tactile systems which imitate and approach the performance of human organs.However,challenges in the combination between the theoretical research and the practical applications are still significant.There is a lack of comprehensive understanding in the state of the art of such knowledge transferring from academic work to technical products.Scaled-up production of laboratory materials faces fatal challenges like high costs,small scale,and inconsistent quality.Ambient factors,such as temperature,humidity,and electromagnetic interference,also impair signal reliability.Moreover,tactile sensors must operate across a wide pressure range(0.1 k Pa to several or even dozens of MPa)to meet diverse application needs.Meanwhile,the existing algorithms,data models and sensing systems commonly reveal insufficient precision as well as undesired robustness in data processing,and there is a realistic gap between the designed and the demanded system response speed.In this review,oriented by the design requirements of intelligent tactile sensing systems,we summarize the common sensing mechanisms,inspired structures,key performance,and optimizing strategies,followed by a brief overview of the recent advances in the perspectives of system integration and algorithm implementation,and the possible roadmap of future development of tactile sensors,providing a forward-looking as well as critical discussions in the future industrial applications of flexible tactile sensors.
