According to this design, the scintillator should have a periodical structure in one dimension with the pitch equaling the period of self-image of the phase grating at the Talbot distance, where one half of the pitch is pixellated and is made of x-ray sensitive fluorescent material, such as CsI(T1), and the remaining part of the pitch is made of x-ray insensitive material, such as silicon. To realize the design, a deep pore array with a high aspect ratio and specially designed grating pattern are successfully manufactured on 5 inch silicon wafer by the photo-assisted electrochemical etching method. The related other problems, such as oxidation-caused geometrical distortion, the filling of CsI(T1) into deep pores and the removal of inside bubbles, have been overcome. Its pixel size, depth and grating pitch are 3 p.m^7.5 ~m, 150 p^m and 3 Ixm, respectively. The microstructure of the scintillator has been examined microscopically and macroscopically by scanning electron microscope and x-ray resolution chart testing, respectively. The preliminary measurements have shown that the proposed scintillator, also functioning as an analyser grating, has been successfully designed and developed.展开更多

Here, on the basis of the previous studies, we employ machine learning to map the relationship between the interface material and the device performance, leading to intelligently screening interface materials towards minimizing voltage losses in p-i-n type PSCs. To enhance the explainability of the machine learning models, molecular descriptors are used to represent the materials. Furthermore,experimental analysis with different characterization methods and device simulation based on the drift-diffusion physical model are conducted to get physical insights and validate the machine learning models. Accordingly, 3-thiophene ethylamine hydrochloride(Th EACl) is screened as an example, which enables remarkable improvements in VOCand PCE of the PSCs. Our work reveals the critical role of datadriven analysis in the high throughput screening of interface materials, which will significantly accelerate the exploration of new materials for high-efficiency PSCs.展开更多

By numerical simulations, the optimal experimental conditions for improving the SC are obtained. The broadband time-resolved CARS spectrography based on the SC with required temporal and spectral distributions is realised. The global molecular vibrational spectrum with well suppressed nonresonant background noise can be obtained in a single measurement. At the same time, the measurements of dephasing times of various molecular vibrational modes can be conveniently achieved from intensities of a sequence of time-resolved CARS signals. It will be more helpful to provide a complete picture of molecular vibrations, and to exhibit a potential to understand not only both the solvent dynamics and the solute-solvent interactions, but also the mechanisms of chemical reactions in the fields of biology, chemistry and material science.展开更多

文摘High-efficiency formamidinium lead iodide(FAPbI3)-based perovskite solar cells(PSCs)typically involve annealing in humid air during the fabrication process of perovskite films.However,the combined effects of humidity and relatively high temperature often result in the uncontrollable formation of a detrimental PbI_(2)phase in the perovskite films.As a result,the annealing process of perovskite films is highly sensitive to the relative humidity fluctuations of the environment.Under solar illumination,the undesired PbI_(2)tends to decompose,accelerating the degradation of perovskite materials and severely compromising the light stability of PSCs.This issue is particularly critical for the buried interface and bulk of the perovskite films,as these regions absorb the majority of the incident light.Pre-treatment and posttreatment strategies are generally confined to address the PbI_(2)issues at the buried interface and on the surface of the perovskite films,respectively.However,effectively addressing the effects of excess PbI_(2)at buried interface and grain boundaries within bulk in a single step remains challenging.In this study,we propose an intermediate-treatment strategy using phthalylglycyl chloride(PTC),which involves treating the wet films with PTC prior to annealing during the formation process of the perovskite films.This approach protects the grain boundaries of polycrystalline perovskite films in advance,effectively preventing moisture-induced degradation of the perovskites and thus significantly broadening the relative humidity window of annealing process.Our results demonstrate that this strategy can successfully suppress the formation of PbI_(2)at the grain boundaries and buried interface of perovskite films,thereby eliminating the PbI_(2)-induced degradation pathways.Our strategy significantly reduces the sensitivity to humidity fluctuations during annealing for fabricating stable PSCs,ensuring more consistent fabrication of stable PSCs.Consequently,the resulting PSCs achieve a champion power conversion efficiency of 26.1% and demonstrate excellent light stability.

文摘Local precise drug delivery is conducive to improving therapeutic efficacy and minimizing off-target toxicity.Current local delivery approaches are focused mostly on superficial or postoperative tumor lesions,due to the challenges posed by the inaccessibility of deep-seated tumors.Herein,we report a magnetic continuum soft robot capable of non-invasive and site-specific delivery of prodrug nanoassemblies-loaded hydrogel.The nanoassemblies are co-assembled from redox-responsive docetaxel prodrug and oxaliplatin prodrug,and subsequently embedded into a hydrogel matrix.The hydrogel precursor and crosslinker are synchronously delivered using the soft robot under magnetic guidance and in situ crosslinked at the gastric cancer lesions,forming a drug depot for sustained release and long-lasting treatment.As the hydrogel gradually degrades,the nanoassemblies are internalized by tumor cells.The redox response ability enables them to be selectively activatedwithin tumor cells to trigger the release of docetaxel and oxaliplatin,exerting a synergistic anti-tumor effect.We find that the combination effectively induces immunogenic cell death of gastric tumor,enhancing antitumor immune responses.This strategy offers an intelligent and controllable integration platform for precise drug delivery and combined chemo-immunotherapy.

文摘Piezoelectric nanogenerators(PENGs) are evolving as next-generation energy harvesters due to their self-powered sensing,multi-stimuli-responsiveness,and wearable electronics.Here,we present a flexible PENG utilizing electro spun poly(vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene)(P(VDF-TrFE)) nanofibers.By optimizing the rotational speeds during the electrospinning process,we have achieved nanofibers with a highly aligned structure and uniform polarβ-phase,an enhancement of piezoelectric response,particularly in terms of sensitivity and power generation.The longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient(d_(33)) reaches-21.6 pC·N^(-1).The transverse piezoelectric measurement yields an output of 26 V and 38.6 nA.The device exhibits an ultra-high sensitivity of 5.76 V·kPa^(-1),surpassing previously reported values by orders of magnitude.The PENG is successfully employed for Braille recognition and the precise manipulation of a robotic hand,indicating its efficacy for tactile interaction systems.This study presents a novel approach to facilitating intelligent human-machine interaction by exploiting the unique properties of organic piezoelectric materials.

文摘In order to push the grating-based phase contrast imaging system to be used in hospitM and laboratories, this paper designs and develops a novel structure of x-ray scintillator functioning also as an analyser grating, which has been proposed for grating-based x-ray differential phase contrast imaging. According to this design, the scintillator should have a periodical structure in one dimension with the pitch equaling the period of self-image of the phase grating at the Talbot distance, where one half of the pitch is pixellated and is made of x-ray sensitive fluorescent material, such as CsI(T1), and the remaining part of the pitch is made of x-ray insensitive material, such as silicon. To realize the design, a deep pore array with a high aspect ratio and specially designed grating pattern are successfully manufactured on 5 inch silicon wafer by the photo-assisted electrochemical etching method. The related other problems, such as oxidation-caused geometrical distortion, the filling of CsI(T1) into deep pores and the removal of inside bubbles, have been overcome. Its pixel size, depth and grating pitch are 3 p.m^7.5 ~m, 150 p^m and 3 Ixm, respectively. The microstructure of the scintillator has been examined microscopically and macroscopically by scanning electron microscope and x-ray resolution chart testing, respectively. The preliminary measurements have shown that the proposed scintillator, also functioning as an analyser grating, has been successfully designed and developed.

文摘Zinc aluminium(Zn-Al)and lithium aluminium(Li-Al)–layered double hydroxides(LDH)coatings with incorporated inhibitors(Li-,Mo-and W-based)were successfully synthesized on AZ31 Mg alloy.Zn-Al LDH W and Li-Al LDH Li showed the highest corrosion resistance and were selected for further evaluation.SEM cross-section examination revealed a bi-layer structure composed of an outer part with loose flakes and a denser inner layer.XRD,FTIR,and XPS analysis confirmed the incorporation of the inhibitors.Post-treatments with corrosion inhibitors containing solutions resulted in the selective dissolution of the most external layer of the LDH coating,reducing the surface roughness,hydrophilicity and paint adhesion of the layers.Active corrosion properties were confirmed by SVET evaluation for the Zn-Al LDH W coating.The proposed active corrosion mechanism involves the ion-exchange of aggressive Cl-ions,deposition of hydroxides and competitive adsorption of W-rich corrosion inhibitors.

文摘Large-scale growth and heterogeneous integration with existing semiconductors are the main obstacles to the application of metal halide perovskites in optoelectronics.Herein,a universal vacuum evaporation strategy is presented to prepare copper halide films with wafer-scale spatial homogeneity.Benefiting from the electric field manipulation method,the built-in electric fields are optimized and further boost the self-powered UV photodetecting performances of common wide-bandgap semiconductors by more than three orders of magnitude.Furthermore,with effective modulation of the interfacial charge dynamics,the as-fabricated GaN-substrate heterojunction photodetector demonstrates an ultrahigh on/off ratio exceeding 107,an impressive responsivity of up to 256 mA W^(-1),and a remarkable detectivity of 2.16×10^(13) Jones at 350 nm,0 V bias.Additionally,the device exhibits an ultrafast response speed(t r/t d=716 ns/1.30 ms),an ultra-narrow photoresponse spectrum with an FWHM of 18 nm and outstanding continuous operational stability as well as long-term stability.Subsequently,a 372-pixel light-powered imaging sensor array with the coefficient of variation of photocurrents reducing to 5.20%is constructed,which demonstrates exceptional electrical homogeneity,operational reliability,and UV imaging capability.This strategy provides an efficient way for large-scale integration of metal halide perovskites with commercial semiconductors for miniature optoelectronic devices.

文摘Perovskite solar cells have reached a power-conversion efficiency(PCE) of 25.6%,showing great potential with reliable moisture and heat stability.Most results are achieved on small-area devices,using conventional thin-film processing technologies like spin-coating method.However,such approaches may not be upscaled for large-area substrates.Thus,strategies and materials need to be developed for manufacturing processing routes to realize future commercial photovoltaic fabrications.Notable results have been achieved on large-area perovskite solar cells.In this review,similarities and differences of large-area perovskite fabrication mechanisms between the various pathways are investigated,especially on the parameters affecting the nucleation and crystal growth kinetics.Moreover,the methods for large-area transporting layers and electrodes are discussed,and some key issues from cells to modules.Challenges and opportunities are proposed to pave the way of high-efficiency perovskite solar modules.

文摘Interface engineering is proved to be the most important strategy to push the device performance of the perovskite solar cell(PSC) to its limit, and numerous works have been conducted to screen efficient materials. Here, on the basis of the previous studies, we employ machine learning to map the relationship between the interface material and the device performance, leading to intelligently screening interface materials towards minimizing voltage losses in p-i-n type PSCs. To enhance the explainability of the machine learning models, molecular descriptors are used to represent the materials. Furthermore,experimental analysis with different characterization methods and device simulation based on the drift-diffusion physical model are conducted to get physical insights and validate the machine learning models. Accordingly, 3-thiophene ethylamine hydrochloride(Th EACl) is screened as an example, which enables remarkable improvements in VOCand PCE of the PSCs. Our work reveals the critical role of datadriven analysis in the high throughput screening of interface materials, which will significantly accelerate the exploration of new materials for high-efficiency PSCs.

文摘In broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy with supercontinuum (SC), the simultaneously detectable spectral coverage is limited by the spectral continuity and the simultaneity of various spectral components of SC in an enough bandwidth. By numerical simulations, the optimal experimental conditions for improving the SC are obtained. The broadband time-resolved CARS spectrography based on the SC with required temporal and spectral distributions is realised. The global molecular vibrational spectrum with well suppressed nonresonant background noise can be obtained in a single measurement. At the same time, the measurements of dephasing times of various molecular vibrational modes can be conveniently achieved from intensities of a sequence of time-resolved CARS signals. It will be more helpful to provide a complete picture of molecular vibrations, and to exhibit a potential to understand not only both the solvent dynamics and the solute-solvent interactions, but also the mechanisms of chemical reactions in the fields of biology, chemistry and material science.

文摘The performance of the metal halide perovskite solar cells(PSCs)highly relies on the experimental parameters,including the fabrication processes and the compositions of the perovskites;tremendous experimental work has been done to optimize these factors.However,predicting the device performance of the PSCs from the fabrication parameters before experiments is still challenging.Herein,we bridge this gap by machine learning(ML)based on a dataset including 1072 devices from peer-reviewed publications.The optimized ML model accurately predicts the PCE from the experimental parameters with a root mean square error of 1.28%and a Pearson coefficientr of 0.768.Moreover,the factors governing the device performance are ranked by shapley additive explanations(SHAP),among which,A-site cation is crucial to getting highly efficient PSCs.Experiments and density functional theory calculations are employed to validate and help explain the predicting results by the ML model.Our work reveals the feasibility of ML in predicting the device performance from the experimental parameters before experiments,which enables the reverse experimental design toward highly efficient PSCs.

文摘Inorganic lead halide perovskite nanocrystals(NCs)with superior photoelectric properties are expected to have excellent performance in many fields.However,the anion exchange changes their features and is unfavorable for their applications in many fields.Hence,impeding anion exchange is important for improving the composition stability of inorganic lead halide perovskite NCs.Herein,CsPb X3(X=Cl,Br)NCs are coated with Cs4PbX6 shell to impede anion exchange and reduce anion mobility.The Cs4PbX6 shell is facily fabricated on CsPbX3 NCs through high temperature injection method.Anion exchange experiments demonstrate that the Cs4 PbX6 shell completely encapsulates CsPbX3 NCs and greatly improves the composition stability of CsPbX3 NCs.Moreover,our work also sheds light on the potential design approaches of various heterostructures to expand the application of CsPbM3(M=Cl,Br,I)NCs.
