文摘Due to its superior nanoscale properties,cobalt(Co)is highly desirable for ultrahigh-density 3D integration into materials through metal/dielectric hybrid bonding.However,this process is very challenging through Co/SiO_(2)hybrid bonding,as very hydrophilic SiO_(2)surfaces are needed for bonding during dehydration reactions and oxidation of the Co surfaces must be avoided.Additionally,the substantial coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between the robust capping layers(Co and SiO_(2)layers)necessitates hybrid bonding with minimal thermal input and compression.In this study,we introduce a ternary plasma activation strategy employing an Ar/NH_(3)/H_(2)O gas mixture to facilitate Co/SiO_(2)hybrid bonding at temperatures as low as~200℃,which is markedly lower than the melting point of Co(~1500℃).Intriguingly,non-oxide metallization at the Co-Co interface can be realized without the hindrance of a bonding barrier,thereby reducing the electrical resistance by over 40%and compression force requirements.Moreover,the enhancement in the SiO_(2)surface energy through active group terminations fosters extensive interfacial hydration and strengthens the mechanical properties.This research paves the way for fine-tuning bonding surfaces using a material-selective strategy which should advance metal/dielectric hybrid bonding for future integration applications.

文摘Surface passivation with organic ammoniums improves perovskite solar cell performance by forming 2D/quasi-2D structures or adsorbing onto surfaces.However,complexity from mixed phases can trigger phase transitions,compromising stability.The control of surface dimensionality after organic ammonium passivation presents significant importance to device stability.In this study,we developed a poly-fluorination strategy for surface treatment in perovskite solar cells,which enabled a high and durable interfacial phase purity after surface passivation.The locked surface dimensionality of perovskite was achieved through robust interaction between the poly-fluorinated ammoniums and the perovskite surface,along with the steric hindrance imparted by fluorine atoms,reducing its reactivity and penetration capabilities.The high hydrophobicity of the poly-fluorinated surface also aids in moisture resistance of the perovskite layer.The champion device achieved a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 25.2% with certified 24.6%,with 90% of its initial PCE retained after approximately 1200 h under continuous 1-sun illumination,and over 14,400 h storage stability and superior stability under high-temperature operation.
文摘Based on the theoretical representation of piezoelectric quasicrystal,a generalized dynamic model is built to represent the transmission of wave aspects in surface acoustic pulse nano-devices.Surface elasticity,surface piezoelectricity,and surface permittivity help to include the surface effect,which equals additional thin sheets.It is shown that,under certain assumptions,this generalized dynamic model may be simplified to a few classical examples that are appropriate for both macro and nano-scale applications.In the current work,surface piezoelectricity is used to develop a theoretical model for shear horizontal(SH)waves where it contains the surface piezoelectricity theory and a linear spring model to quantitatively and qualitatively explore SH waves in an orthotropic piezoelectric quasicrystal layer overlying an elastic framework(Model I),a piezoelectric quasi-crystal nano substrate,and an orthotropic piezoelectric quasicrystal half-space(Model II).The theoretical model stimulates the numerical results,which establish the critical thickness.As the piezoelectric layer’s thickness gets closer to nanometres,surface energy must be included when analyzing dispersion properties.Furthermore,the effects of surface elasticity and density on wave velocity are investigated individually.The authors establish a parameter,precisely the ratio of the physical modulus along the width direction to along the direction of wave travel.The surface effect’s impact on the general char-acteristics of piezoelectric structures is seen as a spring force acting on bulk boundaries.Analytical presentation of frequency equations for both symmetric and anti-symmetric waves pertains to the case of an electrical short circuit in Model II.The project aims to analyze SH waves in orthogonal anisotropic,transversely isotropic piezoelectric layered nanostructures,providing a practical mathematical tool for surface effects analysis and adaptability to other wave types,including Rayleigh waves and acoustic surface waves.

文摘Iron oxide nanoparticles(IONPs)with intrinsic peroxidase(POD)-mimic activity have gained significant attention as nanozymes.Reducing sizes of IONPs is the mostly applied strategy to boost their enzymatic activity due to their high specific surface areas.Herein,we synthesized a series of uniformly sized IONPs ranging from3.17 to 21.2 nm,and found that POD activity of IONPs is not monotone increased by reducing their sizes,with the optimal size of 7.82 nm rather than smaller sized 3.17 nm.The reason for this unnormal phenomenon is that electronic structure also had great influence on POD activity,especially at the ultrasmall size region.Since Fe^(2+)are with higher enzymatic activity than Fe^(3+),3.17 nm IONPs although have the largest specific surface area,are prone to be oxidized,which reduced their iron content and ratio of Fe^(2+)to Fe^(3+),and consequently decreased their POD activity.By intentionally oxidized 7.82 nm IONPs in air,POD activity was obviously reduced,illustrating electronic structure cannot be overlooked.At the larger sized region ranging from 7.82 to 21.2 nm,oxidation degree of IONPs is similar,and surface electronic structure had a negligible effect on POD activity,and therefore,POD activity is predominantly influenced by specific surface area.By using the optimized 7.82 nm IONPs,tumor growth was obviously inhibited,demonstrating their potential in cancer therapeutics.Our results reveal that the designing of nanozymes should comprehensively balance their influence of surface electronic structure and specific surface area.

文摘Understanding frictional anisotropy,which refers to the variation in frictional resistance based on the shear direction,is crucial for optimizing the friction angle between a bio-inspired structure and the surrounding soil.Previous studies focused on estimating the interface frictional anisotropy mobilized by snakeskin-inspired textured surfaces and sand under monotonic shear loading conditions.However,there is a need to estimate interface frictional anisotropy under repetitive shear loads.In this study,a series of repetitive direct shear(DS)tests are performed with snakeskin-inspired textured surfaces under a constant vertical stress and two shear directions(cranial first half→caudal second half or caudal first half→cranial second half).The results show that(1)mobilized shear stress increases with the number of shearing cycles,(2)cranial shearing(shearing against the scales)consistently produces a higher shear resistance and less contractive behavior than caudal shearing(shearing along the scales),and(3)a higher scale height or smaller scale length of the surface yields a higher interface friction angle across all shearing cycles.Further analysis reveals that the gap between the cranial and caudal shear zones of the interface friction angle as a function of L/H(i.e.the ratio of scale length L to scale height H)continues to decrease as the number of shearing cycles approaches asymptotic values.The directional frictional resistance(DFR)decreases as the number of shearing cycles increases.Furthermore,the discussion covers the impact of initial relative density,vertical stress,and the number of shearing cycles on interface frictional anisotropy.

文摘For emerging renewable and sustainable energy technologies,single crystal materials have become key materials to enhance electrocatalytic performance because of their atomic-level ordered structures and tailorable surface and interfacial properties.Various single crystal types,including metals,semiconductors,ceramics,organics,and nanocrystals,exhibit superior catalytic selectivity and stability in reactions such as water splitting and carbon/nitrogen cycles,benefiting from high electrical conductivity,tunable energy bands,and active sites with high surface energy.Through surface modification,interfacial atomic doping,and heterostructure construction,the distribution of active sites,electronic structure,and mass transport can be precisely regulated,significantly optimizing the catalytic kinetics of single crystal materials.In situ characterizations elucidate catalytic mechanisms at the atomic scale,while emerging methods like AI-assisted synthesis and bio-template directed growth offer pathways to overcome bottlenecks in the precision and cost of single crystal preparation.In addressing stability challenges in complex environments,strategies such as organic-inorganic hybridization and gradient interface design effectively mitigate interfacial instability.Future research should focus on cross-scale structural regulation and multidisciplinary integration to facilitate the transition of single crystal electrocatalysts from fundamental research to industrial applications,enabling efficient energy conversion.

文摘There has been a continuous effort to improve the thermal stability of subnanometric platinum(Pt)cluster(<2 nm) catalyst because Pt cluster on CeO_(2) support can be mobile and aggregated into nanoparticle on heating at elevated temperatures,yet this great challenge remains.In this study,a strategy is reported to improve the thermal stability of subnanometric Pt cluster by hydrothermal deposition method.Based on this method,zirconium(Zr) was precisely doped on surface of Ce_(0.95)Zr_(0.05)O_(2) by accurately controlling Pt subnanometric cluster size.The surface doping of Zr is favorable for forming the Zr-O-Ce site and activating surface lattice oxygen atoms,which results in strong electronic interactions to stabilize the Pt subnanometric cluster.After high-temperature aging treatment at 1000℃/4 h,the single atom Pt supported on CeO_(2) is aggregated into larger sized(>3 nm) nanoparticle.In contrast,the single atom Pt supported on Ce_(0.95)Zr_(0.0)5O_(2) displays less agglomeration into subnanometric cluster with size of(1.4±0.3) nm.Moreover,the CO oxide catalytic performance of Ce_(0.95)Zr_(0.0)5O_(2)-Pt is 26% and 31%higher than that of CeO_(2)-Pt and commercial Al_(2)O_(3)-Pt catalysts,respectively.The experimental and density functional theory(DFT) calculations indicate that the Zr-O-Ce site and Pt subnanometric cluster interface have more defect sites and active oxygen species than CeO_(2)-Pt interface,which activate the Mars van Krevelen(MvK) mechanism,facilitating the catalytic performance.

文摘ZrCo alloy holds great promise for hydrogen isotope storage,yet its susceptibility to poisoning by impurity gases,especially CO,poses a challenge.This susceptibility arises due to the electron acceptor nature of the surface Co element and the formation of the d-πfeedback bond,thereby impeding the surface hydrogen dissociation.Accordingly,we propose a novel local activity modulation strategy,where substituent elements are sacrificed to protect the active Co sites for hydrogen dissociation.Considering CO absorption capacity,solid solubility,and hydrogen affinity,we selected V,Cr,and Mn as microalloying elements and successfully prepared the single-phase ZrCo_(0.97)(VCrMn)_(0.03)alloy.Compared to pristine ZrCo,ZrCo_(0.97)(VCrMn)_(0.03)demonstrates significantly enhanced poisoning resistance.Notably,the hydrogenation kinetics of ZrCo_(0.97)(VCrMn)_(0.03)is 2.4 times higher than that of ZrCo in 4 bar H_(2)+5000 ppm CO.Interestingly,the controllable in situ formation of the Co_(2)C phase shell structure during cycling further safeguards the surface reactivity of ZrCo_(0.97)(VCrMn)_(0.03).Consequently,its capacity retention ratio after 25 cycles has been improved to 74.5%from 55.3%of the ZrCo alloy.These findings suggest that micro-alloying engineering could be a promising strategy for surface activity modulation to enhance the anti-poisoning properties of hydrogen storage materials.

文摘Topological insulators with localized edge or interface states have been extensively studied,particularly in phononic crystals and related fields;however,their application in seismic metamaterials remains largely unexplored.To address this gap,we designed a topological seismic metamaterial,where the topological interface is formed by joining the ends of two distinct one-dimensional periodic lattices.The first full-scale field experiment confirms the existence of topological interface states,which exhibit pronounced localization characteristics and induce a resonant amplification effect of 7.2 dB on the total energy of seismic surface waves.This study provides the first experimental validation for the implementation of topological principles in the design of seismic metamaterials,enabling novel approaches to high-sensitivity seismic detection and efficient energy localization for wave control.

文摘Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskite solar cells(PSCs)have attracted much attention due to their high photoelectric conversion efficiency(PCE)and low cost.The certificated PCE of small active area(below 0.1 cm^(2))device has reached 26.7%[1].However,when considering the scaled-up commercialization of PSCs,an obvious efficiency drop exists for the translation to large-area perovskite submodules(PSMs)with areas more than 200 cm^(2),thus limiting the practical commercialization[2].The major PCE gap between small area cells and large area modules arises the drop of open-circuit voltage(VOC)and fill factor(FF).Formamidinium lead iodide(FAPbI_(3))is now the mostly widely used and highly efficient perovskite composition.However,the photo-active black α-FAPbI_(3) phase will spontaneously transform into photo-inactive yellowδ-FAPbI_(3) phase at room temperature[3].
文摘The complexation of phosphates in the quartz-metal ion-H_2O-oleate system was studied. Computer assisted calculations with the aid of the advanced program SOLGASWATER and known equilibrium constants were used to evaluate the mechanism,The calculation results revealed that in the presence of a certain amount of phosphates, metal ions adsorbed at the quartz-H_2O interface will be transferred into solution.Thus the competi- tion for metal ions between phosphates and the quartz surface leads to surface deactivation and re- duced floatability.Various distribution diagrams clearly demonstrate the change of surface complexation as a function of added phosphate concentration.The deactivation products were also evaluated.

文摘An important step for achieving the knowledge-based design freedom on nano-and interfacial materials is attained by elucidating the related surface and interface thermodynamics from the first principles so as to allow engineering the microstructures for desired properties through smartly designing fabrication processing parameters.This is demonstrated for SnO2 nano-particle surfaces and also a technologically important Ag-SnO2 interface fabricated by in-situ internal oxidation.Based on defect thermodynamics,we first modeled and calculated the equilibrium surface and interface structures,and as well corresponding properties,as a function of the ambient temperature and oxygen partial pressure.A series of first principles energetics calculations were then performed to construct the equilibrium surface and interface phase diagrams,to describe the environment dependence of the microstructures and properties of the surfaces and interfaces during fabrication and service conditions.The use and potential application of these phase diagrams as a process design tool were suggested and discussed.
文摘A CuPc/SiO2 sample is fabricated. Its morphology is characterized by atomic force microscopy, and the electron states are investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In order to investigate these spectra in detail, all of these spectra are normalized to the height of the most intense peak,and each component is fitted with a single Gaussian function. Analysis shows that the O element has great bearing on the electron states and that SiO2 layers produced by spurting technology are better than those produced by oxidation technology.

文摘The interfacial structure and its regulation play a crucial role in determining the overall performance of advanced functional composites.Weak interfacial interactions between carbon fibers and the matrix present a critical challenge limiting the general performance and functional applications of carbon fiberreinforced composites.In this paper,a novel strategy for bioinspired root-soil interfacial structure was presented to enhance the mechanical properties of polymer bonded explosives.A multiscale nanowire heterostructure was constructed through the in-situ growth of morphologically controllable zinc oxide nanowires on the carbon fiber surface via a facile hydrothermal method,with polydopamine as the interfacial reinforcement layer.This structure emulated the function of the"root",and combined with a network-distributed polymer binder representing the"soil",formed a robust root-soil interlocking interfacial structure within the polymer bonded explosives.Due to the multiscale interfacial reinforcement structure,the tensile strength of the polymer bonded explosives was visibly increased by 41%,the strain at the break by 110%,and the creep resistance by 51%with only 0.4 wt%filler adopted.The thermal stress resistance was improved by 57%owing to the synergistic enhancement of thermal conductivity and mechanical properties.This study provides new perspectives and insights for designing and constructing high-performance polymer bonded explosives and other functional composites.
