文摘To facilitate real-time monitoring and recording of humidity in the environment and to satisfy the requirement for strain performance in certain applications(such as wearable devices),this paper proposes an in-situ method for synthesising Au nanoparticles on ZIF-67.In this study,an Au@ZIF-67 composite humidity-sensitive material was combined with flexible polyethylene terephthalate interdigitated electrodes to create an Au@ZIF-67 flexible humidity sensor.The prepared samples were characterised using X-ray diffraction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,and transmission electron microscopy.The humidity-sensitive properties of the sensor were investigated,and its monitoring capabilities in applications involving respiration,gestures,skin,and baby diapers were tested.The experimental results indicate that compared with a pure ZIF-67 humidity sensor,the Au@ZIF-67(0.1Au@Z)flexible humidity sensor exhibits a 158.07%decrease in baseline resistance and a 51.66%increase in sensitivity to 95%relative humidity,and the hysteresis,response time,and recovery time are significantly reduced.Furthermore,the sensor exhibits excellent characteristics such as high resolution,repeatability,and stability.The obtained results regarding the material properties,humidity sensitivity,and practical application of non-contact humidity monitoring demonstrate that the prepared sensors exhibit excellent and comprehensive performance,indicating their broad prospects in wearable medical devices,wireless Internet of Things,humidity detection in complex environments,and intelligent integrated systems.

文摘An all-solid-state ion-selective electrode(ISE)for the detection of potassium ions in complex media was developed based on functional peptides with both antibacterial and antifouling properties.While exhibiting unique antifouling property,the ISE capitalized on the high surface area of the conductive metalorganic framework(MOF)solid transducer layer to facilitate rapid ion-electron transfer,consequently improving the electrode stability.For a short period,the application of a±1 n A current to the ISE resulted in a slight potential drift of 2.5μV/s,while for a long-term stability test,the ISE maintained a stable Nernstian response slope over 8 days.The antifouling and antibacterial peptide effectively eradicated bacteria from the electrode surface while inhibited the adhesion of bacteria and other biological organisms.Both theoretical calculations and experimental results indicated that the incorporation of peptides in the sensing membrane did not compromise the detection performance of the ISE.The prepared antifouling potassium ion-selective electrode exhibited a Nernstian response range spanning from 1.0×10^(–8)mol/L to 1.0×10–3mol/L,with a detection limit of 2.51 nmol/L.Crucially,the prepared solid-contact ISE maintained excellent antifouling and sensing capabilities in actual seawater and human urine,indicating a promising feasibility of this strategy for constructing ISEs suitable for practical application in complex systems.
文摘Position sensitive device(PSD)sensor is a vital optical element that is mainly used in tracking systems for visible light communication(VLC).Recently,a new reconfigurable PSD architecture emerged.The proposed architecture makes the PSD perform more functions by modifying its architecture.As the PSD is mainly formed of an array of photodiodes.The primary concept involves employing transistors to alternate between the operating modes of the photodiodes(photoconductive and photovoltaic).Additionally,alternating among output pins can be done based on the required function.This paper presents the mathematical modeling and simulation of a reconfigurable-multifunctional optical sensor which can perform energy harvesting and data acquisition,as well as positioning,which is not available in the traditional PSDs.Simulation using the MATLAB software tool was achieved to demonstrate the modeling.The simulation results confirmed the validity of the mathematical modeling and proved that the modified sensor architecture,as depicted by the equations,accurately describes its behavior.The proposed sensor is expected to extend the battery's lifecycle,reduce its physical size,and increase the integration and functionality of the system.The presented sensor might be used in free space optical(FSO)communication like cube satellites or even in underwater wireless optical communication(UWOC).

文摘Herein,a novel Janus-structured multifunctional membrane with integrated electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding and personalized thermal management is fabricated using shear-induced in situ fibrillation and vacuum-assisted filtration.Interestingly,within the polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)-carbon nanotube(CNT)-Fe_(3)O_(4)layer(FCFe),CNT nanofibers interweave with PTFE fibers to form a stable“silk-like”structure that effectively captures Fe_(3)O_(4)particles.By incorporating a highly conductive MXene layer,the FCFe/MXene(FCFe/M)membrane exhibits excellent electrical/thermal conductivity,mechanical properties,and flame retardancy.Impressively,benefiting from the rational regulation of component proportions and the design of a Janus structure,the FCFe/M membrane with a thickness of only 84.9μm delivers outstanding EMI shielding effectiveness of 44.56 dB in the X-band,with a normalized specific SE reaching 10,421.3 dB cm^(2)g^(-1),which is attributed to the“absorption-reflection-reabsorption”mechanism.Furthermore,the membrane demonstrates low-voltage-driven Joule heating and fast-response photothermal performance.Under the stimulation of a 3 V voltage and an optical power density of 320 mW cm^(-2),the surface temperatures of the FCFe/M membranes can reach up to 140.4 and 145.7℃,respectively.In brief,the FCFe/M membrane with anti-electromagnetic radiation and temperature regulation is an attractive candidate for the next generation of wearable electronics,EMI compatibility,visual heating,thermotherapy,and military and aerospace applications.

文摘Considering the growing pre-lithiation demand for high-performance Si-based anodes and consequent additional costs caused by the strict pre-lithiation environment,developing effective and environmentally stable pre-lithiation additives is a challenging research hotspot.Herein,interfacial engineered multifunctional Li_(13)Si_(4)@perfluoropolyether(PFPE)/LiF micro/nanoparticles are proposed as anode pre-lithiation additives,successfully constructed with the hybrid interface on the surface of Li_(13)Si_(4)through PFPE-induced nucleophilic substitution.The synthesized multifunctional Li_(13)Si_(4)@PFPE/LiF realizes the integration of active Li compensation,long-term chemical structural stability in air,and solid electrolyte interface(SEI)optimization.In particular,the Li_(13)Si_(4)@PFPE/LiF with a high pre-lithiation capacity(1102.4 mAh g^(-1))is employed in the pre-lithiation Si-based anode,which exhibits a superior initial Coulombic efficiency of 102.6%.Additionally,in situ X-ray diffraction/Raman,density functional theory calculation,and finite element analysis jointly illustrate that PFPE-predominant hybrid interface with modulated abundant highly electronegative F atoms distribution reduces the water adsorption energy and oxidation kinetics of Li_(13)Si_(4)@PFPE/LiF,which delivers a high pre-lithiation capacity retention of 84.39%after exposure to extremely moist air(60%relative humidity).Intriguingly,a LiF-rich mechanically stable bilayer SEI is constructed on anodes through a pre-lithiation-driven regulation for the behavior of electrolyte decomposition.Benefitting from pre-lithiation via multifunctional Li_(13)Si_(4)@PFPE/LiF,the full cell and pouch cell assembled with pre-lithiated anodes operate with long-time stability of 86.5%capacity retention over 200 cycles and superior energy density of 549.9 Wh kg^(-1),respectively.The universal multifunctional pre-lithiation additives provide enlightenment on promoting large-scale applications of pre-lithiation on commercial high-energy-density and long-cycle-life lithium-ion batteries.

文摘Polyacrylonitrile-based commercial carbon fibers(CFs)have garnered significant attention in mechanical applications because of their exceptional mechanical properties.However,their functional versatility relies heavily on the structural intricacies of duplex carbon layers.Current modification approaches,though effective,are encumbered by complexity and cost,limiting widespread adoption across diverse fields.We herein present a straightforward modification strategy centered on regulating carbon layers to unlock the multifunctional potential of CFs.Our method leverages two common anions,Cl^(-)and SO_(4)^(2-),to facilitate oxidation reactions in CFs under robust alkali and high voltage conditions.Cl^(-)effectively activates carbon layers,while SO_(4)^(2-)facilitates layer movement.The electrocatalytic activities of the resultant CFs are enhanced,with state-of-the-art performance as supercapacitors and exceptional stability.Moreover,our approach achieves a groundbreaking milestone by bending and fusing CFs without using binders.This breakthrough can reduce the manufacturing costs of CF-based products.It also facilitates the development of novel microelectronic devices.

文摘Separator modification is an effective approach to suppress dendrite growth to realize high-energy sodium metal batteries(SMBs)in practical applications,however,its success is mainly subject to surface modification.Herein,a separator with multifunctional layers composed of N-doped mesoporous hollow carbon spheres(HCS)as the inner layer and sodium fluoride(NaF)as the outer layer on commercial polypropylene separator(PP)is proposed(PP@HCS-NaF)to achieve stable cycling in SMB.At the molecular level,the inner HCS layer with a high content of pyrrolic-N induces the uniform Na^(+)flux as a potential Na^(+)redistributor for homogenous deposition,whereas its hollow mesoporous structure offers nanoporous buffers and ion channels to regulate Na^(+)ion distribution and uniform deposition.The outer layer(NaF)constructs the NaF-enriched robust solid electrolyte interphase layer,significantly lowering the Na^(+)ions diffusion barrier.Benefiting from these merits,higher electrochemical performances are achieved with multifunctional double-layered PP@HCS-NaF separators compared with single-layered separators(i.e.PP@HCS or PP@NaF)in SMBs.The Na‖Cu half-cell with PP@HCS-NaF offers stable cycling(280 cycles)with a high CE(99.6%),and Na‖Na symmetric cells demonstrate extended lifespans for over 6000 h at 1 mA cm^(-2)with a progressively stable overpotential of 9 mV.Remarkably,in Na‖NVP full-cells,the PP@HCS-NaF separator grants a stable capacity of~81 mA h g^(-1)after 3500 cycles at 1 C and an impressive rate capability performance(~70 mA h g^(-1)at 15 C).

文摘The electrochemical performance of all-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs)can be prominently enhanced by minimizing the detrimental degradation of solid electrolytes through their undesirable side reactions with the conductive carbon additives(CCAs)inside the composite cathodes.Herein,the well-defined Mo_(3)Ni_(3)N nanosheets embedded onto the N-doped porous carbons(NPCs)substrate are successfully synthesized(Mo-Ni@NPCs)as CCAs inside LiCoO_(2)for Li_(6)PSC_5)Cl(LPSCl)-based ASSLBs.This nano-composite not only makes it difficult for hydroxide groups(-OH)to survive on the surface but also allows the in situ surface reconstruction to generate the ultra-stable MoS_(2)-Mo_(3)Ni_(3)N heterostructures after the initial cycling stage.These can effectively prevent the occurrence of OH-induced LPSC decomposition reaction from producing harmful insulating sulfates,as well as simultaneously constructing the highly-efficient electrons/ions dual-migration pathways at the cathode interfaces to facilitate the improvement of both electrons and Li+ions conductivities in ASSLBs.With this approach,fine-tuned Mo-Ni@NPCs can deliver extremely outstanding performance,including an ultra-high first discharge-specific capacity of 148.61 mAh g^(-1)(0.1C),a high Coulombic efficiency(94.01%),and a capacity retention rate after 1000 cycles still attain as high as 90.62%.This work provides a brand-new approach of“conversionprotection”strategy to overcome the drawbacks of composite cathodes interfaces instability and further promotes the commercialization of ASSLBs.

文摘The dwell scheduling problem for a multifunctional radar system is led to the formation of corresponding optimiza-tion problem.In order to solve the resulting optimization prob-lem,the dwell scheduling process in a scheduling interval(SI)is formulated as a Markov decision process(MDP),where the state,action,and reward are specified for this dwell scheduling problem.Specially,the action is defined as scheduling the task on the left side,right side or in the middle of the radar idle time-line,which reduces the action space effectively and accelerates the convergence of the training.Through the above process,a model-free reinforcement learning framework is established.Then,an adaptive dwell scheduling method based on Q-learn-ing is proposed,where the converged Q value table after train-ing is utilized to instruct the scheduling process.Simulation results demonstrate that compared with existing dwell schedul-ing algorithms,the proposed one can achieve better scheduling performance considering the urgency criterion,the importance criterion and the desired execution time criterion comprehen-sively.The average running time shows the proposed algorithm has real-time performance.

文摘A wearable health monitoring system is a promising device for opening the era of the fourth industrial revolution due to increasing interest in health among modern people.Wearable health monitoring systems were demonstrated by several researchers,but still have critical issues of low performance,inefficient and complex fabrication processes.Here,we present the world’s first wearable multifunctional health monitoring system based on flash-induced porous graphene(FPG).FPG was efficiently synthesized via flash lamp,resulting in a large area in four milliseconds.Moreover,to demonstrate the sensing performance of FPG,a wearable multifunctional health monitoring system was fabricated onto a single substrate.A carbon nanotube-polydimethylsiloxane(CNT-PDMS)nanocomposite electrode was successfully formed on the uneven FPG surface using screen printing.The performance of the FPG-based wearable multifunctional health monitoring system was enhanced by the large surface area of the 3D-porous structure FPG.Finally,the FPG-based wearable multifunctional health monitoring system effectively detected motion,skin temperature,and sweat with a strain GF of 2564.38,a linear thermal response of 0.98Ω℃^(-1) under the skin temperature range,and a low ion detection limit of 10μM.

文摘The suburbs surrounding metropolitan areas are the priority area for urban-rural integration development where functional optimization is essential to reconcile growing urban demands with sustainable rural development.Rural functions are changing substantially and vary significantly across areas in the practice of high-quality urban-rural integration development era.How to make use of the advantages of different rural functions and achieve optimized combination of functions are actual problems that urgently need to be solved.The paper analyzed the process of urban-rural integration through the identification of urban-rural integration interfaces and evaluated the multifunctional transformation of rural areas in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle(CCEC)with a fixed weight evaluation model.The differences in rural functions analyzed with the Theil index reveals the characteristics and sources of differences in the“production-living-ecology-culture”functional areas in the CCEC.The research results show that:(1)The spatial distribution characteristics of rural functions in the CCEC are obvious,and agricultural production clusters dominate the Chengdu Plain and eastern Chongqing,contrasting with ecological conservation zones along the Yangtze River system,while cultural heritage hubs concentrate in economically vibrant tourism corridors.(2)The overall regional differences in rural functions are mainly due to intra-regional differences;in terms of the contribution rate,the contribution rate of intra-regional differences in agricultural production,ecological conservation,and cultural heritage functions is much larger than that of inter-regional differences,whereas the inter-regional differences in human living functions are larger than those of intra-regional differences.(3)Based on the research results,the study area is divided into 14 functional types,which can provide scientific basis for improving the spatial layout and high-quality development of rural functions in the CCEC.These insights advance theoretical understanding of mountainous-urban transitional areas while informing practical strategies for high-quality integrated development.

文摘Although multifunctional electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials with ultrahigh electromagnetic wave absorption are highly required to solve increasingly serious electromagnetic radiation and pollution and meet multi-scenario applications,EMI shielding materials usually cause a lot of reflection and have a single function.To realize the broadband absorption-dominated EMI shielding via absorption-reflection-reabsorption mechanisms and the interference cancelation effect,multifunctional asymmetric bilayer aerogels are designed by sequential printing of a MXene-graphene oxide(MG)layer with a MG emulsion ink and a conductive MXene layer with a MXene ink and subsequent freeze-drying for generating and solidifying numerous pores in the aerogels.The top MG layer of the asymmetric bilayer aerogel optimizes impedance matching and achieves re-absorption,while the bottom MXene layer enhances the reflection of the incident electromagnetic waves.As a result,the asymmetric bilayer aerogel achieves an average absorption coefficient of 0.95 in the X-band and shows the tunable absorption ability to electromagnetic wave in the ultrawide band from 8.2 to 40 GHz.Finite element simulations substantiate the effectiveness of the asymmetric bilayer aerogel for electromagnetic wave absorption.The multifunctional bilayer aerogels exhibit hydrophobicity,thermal insulation and Joule heating capacities and are efficient in solar-thermal/electric heating,infrared stealth,and clean-up of spilled oil.

文摘Metamaterials can control and manipulate acoustic/elastic waves on a subwavelength scale using cavities or additional components.However,the large cavity and weak stiffness components of traditional metamaterials may cause a conflict between vibroacoustic reduction and load-bearing capacity,and thus limit their application.Here,we propose a lightweight multifunctional metamaterial that can simultaneously achieve low-frequency sound insulation,broadband vibration reduction,and excellent load-bearing performance,named as vibroacoustic isolation and bearing metamaterial(VIBM).The advent of additive manufacturing technology provides a convenient and reliable method for the fabrication of VIBM samples.The results show that the compressive strength of the VIBM is as high as 9.71 MPa,which is nearly 87.81%higher than that of the conventional grid structure(CGS)under the same volume fraction.Moreover,the vibration and sound transmission are significantly reduced over a low and wide frequency range,which agrees well with the experimental data,and the reduction degree is obviously larger than that obtained by the CGS.The design strategy can effectively realize the key components of metamaterials and improve their application scenarios.

文摘Aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs)have garnered extensive attention as the promising energy storage technology owing to their high safety,cost-effectiveness,and environmental friendliness.Nevertheless,their practical application is hindered by critical challenges,including Hydrogen evolution reactions(HER)and non-uniform Zn deposition,which compromise electrochemical performance and cycling stability.Herein,we propose a multifunctional hybrid electrolyte additive consisting of vanillin and Dimethyl sulfoxide,designed to weaken the interaction between Zn^(2+)and H_(2)O molecules,effectively modulating the solvation shell structure.In situ optical microscopy shows the hybrid additive significantly suppresses HER and promotes Zn^(2+)deposition on the(002)plane,inhibiting dendritic growth.The Zn||Zn symmetric cells with hybrid additive exhibit exceptional cycling stability,achieving over 4000 h at 1.0 mA cm^(-2)/1.0 m A h cm^(-2).The research on hybrid additives presents significant potential for exploration,offering a promising approach to the development of durable AZIBs.

文摘The rational design of composition and microstructure is a proven strategy for developing multifunctional high-performance electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbers.In this study,a sandwich-structured multilayer nanoplate-like Bi_(2)Fe_(4)O_(9)@Polypyrrole(BFO@PPy)heterostructure was successfully designed and fabricated using an efficient microwave hydrothermal method and an in situ polymerization process.Specifically,Bi_(2)Fe_(4)O_(9)enhances the chemical activity of ammonium persulfate,which in turn initiates the polymerization of pyrrole monomers,resulting in the formation of BFO@PPy heterostructures.The thickness of the PPy coating layer in the BFO@PPy composite can be precisely controlled at the nanoscale,optimizing electromagnetic parameters,conduction losses and interface polarization loss.The fabricated BFO@PPy composite achieves a minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of-57.8 dB at a thickness of 2.5 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 6.96 GHz.Furthermore,the EMW absorption performance and mechanism were systematically validated through theoretical calculations,radar cross-sectional simulations(RCS),and first-principles analysis.Notably,the RCS simulation of a 1:1 scale F-22 Raptor fighter model provides a realistic evaluation of the composite's EMW absorption potential in military applications.The efficient fabrication method and superior electromagnetic absorption performance make BFO@PPy a promising candidate for use in complex electromagnetic environments and military domains.Additionally,the BFO@PPy composite exhibits rapid electrothermal conversion at a low voltage(3V),achieving active infrared camouflage within a controllable temperature range,further highlighting its multifunctional properties.

文摘Aqueous zinc ion batteries(AZIBs)have excellent development prospects due to their high theoretical capacity and low cost.Nevertheless,the commercial separator represented by glass fiber(GF)in AZIBs usually exhibits uneven porosity,poor zincophilicity,and insufficient functional groups,resulting in the emergence of the zinc anode dendrites and side reactions.Designing a separator with specific interfacial ion transport behavior is essential to achieve a highly stable reversible zinc anode.Herein,an anionic metal-organic framework(MOF)functionalized separator(GF-Bio-MOF-100)was presented to accelerate the desolvation process and modulate Zn^(2+)flux,thereby delivering the decreased nucleation overpotential and uniform Zn^(2+)deposition.The in-depth kinetics investigations combined with the in-situ Raman spectroscopy demonstrate that the carbonyl group within the Bio-MOF-100 is capable of capturing the H_(2)O molecules of[Zn(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+)via the H-bond interaction,which further accelerates the desolvation process and transport kinetics of Zn^(2+).Meanwhile,the anionic framework of the GFBio-MOF-100 separator acts as an interfacial ion channel to regulate the Zn^(2+)flux and enables dendrite-free Zn^(2+)deposition and growth.Consequently,the Zn|GF-Bio-MOF-100|Zn symmetric cell exhibited a stable Zn^(2+)plating/stripping behavior and it could cycle for 2000 h at 0.3 mA cm^(-2).Additionally,the assembled Zn|GF-Bio-MOF-100|MnO_(2)full cell delivers a capacity retention of 83.9% after 1000 cycles at 0.5 A g^(-1).This work provides new insights into the design of functionalized separators for long-life AZIBs.
