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The demand for sustainable energy storage has accelerated the development of cellulose-based materials(CBMs)for flexible supercapacitors(FSCs).However,widespread commercialization of FSCs remains challenged by their low gravimetric energy density(approximately 35 Wh kg^(-1)),far below lithium-ion batteries(exceeding 200 Wh kg^(-1)),and a limited operational temperature range(from-20℃ to 60℃),restricting their use in extreme environments.To date,no comprehensive review has elucidated the crucial role of the chemistry and structure-property relationships of CBMs in advancing FSC technology.This review fills this gap by examining the chemical attributes and versatility of cellulose and its derivatives,including their physicochemical characteris-tics,assembly methodologies,and functional modifications such as oxidation,esterification,etherification,grafting polymerization,nucleophilic substitution,and crosslinking reactions.We further provide an overview of the chemistry and structure-function correlations of various cellulose forms used in advanced electrodes,solid electrolytes,separators,binders,current collectors,and substrate/encapsulation materials,alongside relevant microelectrode processing technologies.Given that large-scale application of FSCs is still in its early stages,we offer insightful design principles for guiding future development of cellulose-based FSCs.By proposing a“chemistry-performance-sustainability”design framework,this review not only addresses existing limitations but also outlines a roadmap for next-generation eco-friendly FSCs.

文摘The development of high-performance transparent substrates is critical for next-generation flexible electronic devices.Herein,we designed two novel meta-substituted diamines incorporating trifluoromethyl(―CF_(3))and methyl(―CH_(3))groups to synthesize colorless copolyimide(CPI)films via copolymerization with 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride(6FDA)/3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride(BPDA).The combination of meta-substituted architecture and substituents enables the simultaneous attainment of an ultralow dielectric constant(D_k)and high transparency.The meta-substitution geometry and electronic effects of―CF_(3)/―CH_(3) effectively suppressed charge-transfer complex(CTC)formation,expanded fractional free volume(FFV),and restricted π-electron conjugation,as validated by DFT calculations and wide-angle X-ray diffraction(WAXD)analysis.The optimized CPI film(PIA_(1)-6FDA/BPDA(10/0))achieved outstanding transmittance(T_(450)=88.15%),ultralow dielectric constant(D_(k)=2.08 at 1 k Hz),and minimal dielectric loss(D_(f)=0.0012),while maintaining robust thermal stability(T_(d5%)>523℃)and mechanical strength(σ=87.5 MPa).This work establishes a molecular engineering strategy to concurrently enhance the optical and dielectric properties,positioning meta-substituted CPIs as promising candidates for transparent flexible devices.

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The surfaces of brittle materials are susceptible to defects such as scratches,cracks,and chipping during con-ventional grinding processes,which significantly compromise surface quality and service performance.A flexible ball-end body-armor-like abrasive tool(BAAT)can effectively remove micro-convex peaks from the surfaces of brittle materials by employing a high tangential grinding force and a low normal grinding force,thereby achieving nano-level surface roughness and ultra-smooth mirror finishes.However,the surface contact me-chanism,pressure distribution pattern,and grinding force behavior between BAAT and workpiece remain in-adequately understood.This study examines the mechanism of liquid film formation and the distribution pattern of elastohydrodynamic pressure in high-shear and low-pressure grinding areas,drawing on the theories of elastohydrodynamic lubrication,non-Newtonian fluid dynamics,and material mechanics.A high-shear low-pressure grinding force model,which incorporates elastohydrodynamic liquid film thickness and abrasive grain size,was developed.The effects of the main grinding parameters(normal load,spindle rotational speed,and abrasive grain size)on the tangential grinding force were investigated through the processing of lithium niobate crystals using an intelligent precision-grinding system.The experimental results indicated that the relative error between the predicted and experimental values was 10.74%,thereby confirming the accuracy of the grinding force model.This study advances the understanding of elastohydrodynamic lubrication mechanisms in abrasive machining and provides a crucial theoretical foundation for the application of flexible ball-end BAAT.

文摘The complex wiring,bulky data collection devices,and difficulty in fast and on-site data interpretation significantly limit the practical application of flexible strain sensors as wearable devices.To tackle these challenges,this work develops an artificial intelligenceassisted,wireless,flexible,and wearable mechanoluminescent strain sensor system(AIFWMLS)by integration of deep learning neural network-based color data processing system(CDPS)with a sandwich-structured flexible mechanoluminescent sensor(SFLC)film.The SFLC film shows remarkable and robust mechanoluminescent performance with a simple structure for easy fabrication.The CDPS system can rapidly and accurately extract and interpret the color of the SFLC film to strain values with auto-correction of errors caused by the varying color temperature,which significantly improves the accuracy of the predicted strain.A smart glove mechanoluminescent sensor system demonstrates the great potential of the AIFWMLS system in human gesture recognition.Moreover,the versatile SFLC film can also serve as a encryption device.The integration of deep learning neural network-based artificial intelligence and SFLC film provides a promising strategy to break the“color to strain value”bottleneck that hinders the practical application of flexible colorimetric strain sensors,which could promote the development of wearable and flexible strain sensors from laboratory research to consumer markets.
