文摘The development of optoelectronic technologies demands photodetectors with miniaturization,broadband operation,high sensitivity,and low power consumption.Although 2D van der Waals(vd W)heterostructures are promising candidates due to their built-in electric fields,ultrafast photocarrier separation,and tunable bandgaps,defect states limit their performance.Therefore,the modulation of the optoelectronic properties in such heterostructures is imperative.Surface charge transfer doping(SCTD)has emerged as a promising strategy for non-destructive modulation of electronic and optoelectronic characteristics in two-dimensional materials.In this work,we demonstrate the construction of high-performance p-i-n vertical heterojunction photodetectors through SCTD of MoTe_(2)/ReS_(2)heterostructure using p-type F_(4)-TCNQ.Systematic characterization reveals that the interfacial doping process effectively amplifies the built-in electric field,enhancing photogenerated carrier separation efficiency.Compared to the pristine heterojunction device,the doped photodetector exhibits remarkable visible to nearinfrared(635-1064 nm)performance.Particularly under 1064 nm illumination at zero bias,the device achieves a responsivity of 2.86 A/W and specific detectivity of 1.41×10^(12)Jones.Notably,the external quantum efficiency reaches an exceptional value of 334%compared to the initial 11.5%,while maintaining ultrafast response characteristics with rise/fall times of 11.6/15.6μs.This work provides new insights into interface engineering through molecular doping for developing high-performance vd W optoelectronic devices.

文摘Growing demand for sustainable,high-performance materials is driving research to replace petroleumbased plastics with abundant biomass,especially cellulose.However,the effective modification and functionalization of cellulose is often impeded by complex processing requirements and limited performance tunability.Here,an innovative“active”green medium strategy based on an ethyl cellulose/thymol eutectic system is reported,enabling in situ chemical modification of eutectic components and the construction of dynamic self-adaptive networks without external catalysts or initiators.Through precise molecular design,dynamic boroxine networks and acrylate crosslinking networks are synergistically integrated into the cellulosic bioplastic(CBP)matrix.The resulting CBP-A2B8 exhibits exceptional optical transparency(~85%),superior mechanical properties(tensile strength~30 MPa),facile thermal processability,and closed-loop recyclability.Its chemical structure and mechanical performance remain highly stable even after 20 hot-compression recycling cycles.Complete biodegradation occurs under natural environmental conditions within approximately 100 days.Furthermore,the bioplastic,when combined with silver nanowires,forms high-performance flexible transparent conductive films successfully applied in customizable electroluminescent devices.Post-lifecycle,device components(silver nanowires and CBP matrix)are efficiently separated and recycled using a straightforward solvent-based method.This eutectic system-mediated strategy offers a novel pathway for the development of sustainable,high-performance bioplastics with a closed-loop lifecycle.

文摘Vanadium redox flow batteries(VRFBs)are a means of large-scale energy storage due to their excellent scalability,safety,long cycling life,and decoupled power and energy capacities.However,the slow redox kinetics of vanadium species on conventional carbon electrodes remains a major limitation to their performance.We investigated the deposition of carbon black,carbon nanotubes,and electrochemically exfoliated graphene(Exf-Gr)onto thermally-activated carbon paper(ACP)by spray coating to increase the electrode electrocatalytic activity.The modified electrodes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction,Raman spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron microscopy,and surface area analysis,while their electrochemical properties were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,and singlecell VRFB testing.Among the modified electrodes,Exf-Gr/ACP had the best performance,achieving a 2.9-fold reduction in charge transfer resistance compared to pristine ACP and delivering 2.5 times the discharge capacity in single-cell tests.This improvement is attributed to Exf-Gr’s high surface area,favorable catalytic activity,and excellent dispersion on the ACP substrate.Surface modification with electrochemically exfoliated graphene is a highly effective strategy for improving the electrode performance in VRFB systems,with significant implications for large-scale energy storage.

文摘There is an urgent need to develop magnesium-matrix materials that exhibit both high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion to ensure compatibility with chips.This study aims to develop a Mg-Zn-Cu alloy with high thermal conductivity.Furthermore,it explores the preparation of AlN_(P)/Mg-Zn-Cu composites featuring low coefficients of thermal expansion.The stir casting method was utilized to fabricate the composites and an investigation was conducted to examine their microstructure and thermal properties.Results indicate that the addition of AlN_(P)reduces the thermal expansion coefficient while maintaining relatively high thermal conductivity.Specifically,the AlN_(P)/Mg-0.5Zn-0.5Cu composite with 30wt.%AlN_(P)achieves a thermal conductivity of 132.7 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1)and a thermal expansion coefficient of 18.5×10^(-6)K^(-1),rendering it suitable for electronic packaging applications where thermal management is critical.

文摘The impact of spinal cord injury(SCI)on the immune system is increasingly recognized in a field traditionally focused on motor impairments.SCI can seriously affect the immune system by progressively disrupting the regulatory mechanisms that control immune responses.This dysregulation varies widely among patients and can evolve over time,ranging from systemic inflammatory responses to immunosuppression,greatly contributing to the morbidity and mortality of individuals with SCI(Bao et al.,2011;Brennan et al.,2024).
文摘Although poly(urethane-urea)elastomers(PUEs)possess excellent mechanical properties and durability,their inherent flammability and inability to self-repair after damage significantly limits their applications in high-end fields.To address this challenge,this study employs a supramolecular chemistry approach by simultaneously incorporating multiple hydrogen bonds as dynamic cross-linking points and a phosphorus-nitrogen synergistic flame-retardant structure into the poly(urethane-urea)network.The multiple hydrogen bonds endow the material with efficient intrinsic self-healing capability,while the phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardant ensures outstanding thermal stability and flame resistance,leading to the successful synthesis of a high-performance multifunctional poly(urethane-urea)elastomer.Experimental results demonstrated that when the content of the flame retardant diethyl(2-((2-aminoethyl)amino)ethyl)phosphoramidate(DEPTA)was 10 wt%,the resulting PUE/10%DEPTA achieved a V-0 rating in the vertical burning test,with a limiting oxygen index(LOI)of 30%.Concurrently,the elastomer maintained good toughness,exhibiting a tensile strength of 27.3 MPa,an elongation at break of 601%,and a self-healing efficiency of up to 94.46%.This breakthrough shows significant promise for advanced engineering applications that demand fire safety,structural durability,and extended service life through self-repair.

文摘The net capturing method holds great potential for space debris removal due to its adaptability to the various target shapes and high fault tolerance.However,the capture mechanisms of current rope nets,which rely solely on a passive wrap-ping mechanism,limit their capacity to capture objects within a specific size range and make it challenging to handle unexpected situations.Inspired by spider webs,which combine wrapping and adhering to capture prey of various sizes,we present a new type of net(envelope diameter:208.49 mm)for on-orbit capture.This net adopts a spiral symmetric structure similar to spider webs,incorporates electrostatic-microstructure hybrid adhesives,and increases the maximum contact area by 38.31%,allowing it to capture debris ranging from fragments smaller than the mesh size(envelope diam-eter:2.7 mm-4.4 mm)to larger objects(envelope diameter:270 mm),and effectively grasps flexible items(450 mm2),planar items(350 mm2)and three-dimensional items(160 mm3).Moreover,to validate the net's capability for wrapping and adhesion,simulations and experiments are demonstrated that this dual capture method can effectively handle various targets.

文摘High-nickel cathode,LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O_(2)(NCM811),and sulfide-solid electrolyte are a promising combination for all-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs).However,this combination faces the issue of interfacial instability between the cathode and electrolyte.Given the surface alkalinity of NCM811,we propose a strategy to construct a solid-polymer-electrolyte(SPE)interphase on NCM811 surface by leveraging the surface alkaline residues to nucleophilically initiate the in-situ ring-opening polymerization of cyclic organic molecules.As a proof-of-concept,this study demonstrates that the ring-opening copolymerization of 1,3-dioxolane and maleic anhydride produces a homogeneous,compact,and conformal SPE layer on NCM811 surface to prevent the cathode from contact and reaction with Li6PS5Cl solid-state electrolyte.Consequently,the SPE-modified-NCM811 in ASSLBs exhibits high capacities of 193.5 mA h g^(-1) at 0.2 C,160.9 mA h g^(-1) at 2.0 C and 112.3 mA h g^(-1) at 10 C,and particularly,excellent long-term cycling stabilities over 11000 cycles with a 71.95%capacity retention at 10 C at 25℃,as well as a remained capacity of 117.9 mA h g^(-1) after 8000 cycles at 30 C at 60℃,showing a great application prospect.This study provides a new route for creating electrochemically and structurally stable solid-solid interfaces for ASSLBs.

文摘Owing to their intricate molecular frameworks and copious chiral centers,the structural identification and configurational assignment of natural products are challenging tasks.Comprehensive spectral data analysis is crucial for the confirmation of absolute configurations.Ignoring critical parameters will lead to false structure,which may confuse the total synthesis and drug development.Herein,the configurations of seven heterogeneous Pallavicinia diterpenoids(PDs) isolated from Pallavicinia liverworts are revised using a combination of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electronic circular dichroism(ECD) calculations.Meanwhile,identification of five unprecedented PD heterodimers PD-dimers A-E(18-22) along with eleven previously undescribed PDs(5-9,13-17,23) obtained by the reinvestigation of the Chinese liverwort Pallavicinia subciliata have resulted in corrections and support the revised conclusions.

文摘Hypervelocity rocket sled systems are critical for testing advanced military technologies,yet track damage at speeds exceeding Mach 5 remains a significant challenge for system reliability and performance.In this study,we investigated the hypervelocity impact response and protection for highstrength U71 Mn or bainitic steel used in rocket sled tracks.Flyer plate impact experiments using a two-stage light-gas gun were conducted to study the hypervelocity collision response,followed by the microstructural characterization via optical microscope,scanning electron microscopy equipped with electron backscatter diffraction to reveal underlying damage mechanisms.Then,the calibrated thermalmechanical coupled finite element simulations using the Johnson-Cook constitutive model and MieGrüneisen equation of state were carried out.Results indicated that bainitic steel exhibits superior impact resistance with predominantly smooth scratch-dominated damage due to its higher ductility.In contrast,U71 Mn suffered significant material spallation and crack propagation arising from brittle fracture mechanisms.Zinc-rich epoxy primer coatings effectively mitigated stress concentration and temperature rise in the substrate at impacting velocities below 2.4 km/s,so as to suppress the microstructural damage such as adiabatic shear bands and dynamic recrystallization.However,coating protection diminished at ultra-high-speed impacts due to the coating failure.Dimensional analysis established quantitative relationships of the gouge damage size to projectile mass,impact velocity,and material yield strength.This study provides in-depth insights into damage mechanisms in hypervelocity rail systems,demonstrating that bainitic steel combined with protective coatings can significantly enhance impact resistance and system reliability,offering valuable guidance for the design and optimization of hypervelocity testing platforms.

文摘Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors(SICs)offer inherent energy-power synergy but are constrained by mismatched kinetics and life spans between the anode and cathode materials.Two-dimensional MoS_(2)@C composites demonstrate excellent kinetics and structural stability,thanks to the built-in electric field of the carbon heterostructure and its adaptability to volume changes.Yet,the carbon shell imposes a physical barrier to interfacial Na^(+)diffusion,while deep discharge induces the formation of crystalline Na_(2)S,accompanied by severe volumetric expansion and sluggish reversibility—factors that accelerate capacity fading and structural degradation.To address these challenges,a trace-level Ni doping strategy is introduced,enabling precise modulation of the composite's interlayer structure,electronic configuration,and reaction pathway.Ni incorporation expands the MoS_(2) interlayer spacing,reconstructs short-range ordered nanocrystals within a hierarchically porous network,and promotes Na^(+)diffusion by weakening interlayer van der Waals forces.Orbital hybridization between Ni-3d and Mo-4d/S-3p states enhances electronic conductivity and reduces charge transfer resistance.Critically,Ni doping enhances electron transfer from Ni to sulfur,which weakens Na–S bonds and promotes the formation of amorphous Na_(2)S,thereby suppressing crystalline Na_(2)S and enabling a reversible MoS_(2)/Na_(2)S conversion mechanism for improved structural stability and cycling performance.As a result,the optimized MoS_(2)-Ni@C anode delivers a high reversible capacity of 334 mAh g^(-1)at 10 A g^(-1)with 68%retention after 10,000 cycles.When assembled into a SIC device(MoS_(2)-Ni@C//AC),it achieves an energy density of 135 Wh kg^(-1)at a power density of 60.8 kW kg^(-1)(based on anode mass),with 76%retention over 3,000 cycles.

文摘Advances in optical coherence tomography(OCT)technology allow a clear view of the vitreoretinal interface(VRI).The abnormality of the VRI is one of the common symptoms of high myopia,mainly including posterior vitreous detachment(PVD)and epiretinal membrane(ERM).They can cause severe damage to the structure and function of the retina,leading to permanent vision loss.Therefore,fully automated detection of abnormalities at the VRI is crucial for the management of high myopia.This paper presents a DS-YOLOv7 network aimed at accurately identifying abnormalities,including partial PVD,complete PVD,and ERM from retinal OCT images.Built upon the YOLOv7 network,the proposed model integrates the advanced dynamic snake convolution(DSConv)module to capture the curvilinear characteristics of lesions,and the mixture of attention and convolution(ACMix)module to improve the precision and robustness of feature extraction through effective fusion of self-attention mechanisms and convolution.Moreover,the introduction of the efficient complete intersection-over-union(ECIoU)loss function further enhances the coordinate regression capability of the model.Threefold cross-validation on a dataset with 1973 OCT B-scans from 46 patients shows that the DS-YOLOv7 achieved superior performance in vitreoretinal interface abnormality detection,with mAP@0.5 of 0.714,mAP@0.75 of 0.438,and mAP@0.5:0.95 of 0.424.The proposed model can provide an accurate and efficient diagnostic tool for patients with high myopia.

文摘Background Excessive abdominal fat in broilers not only reduces feed efficiency and increases processing costs but also raises environmental concerns.This pathological overaccumulation results from complex metabolic dysregulation across multiple organs.While current research largely centers on adipogenesis within adipose tissue,a comprehensive understanding of the cross-organ regulatory factors influencing this process remains elusive.Results Here,we employed a high-fat diet(HFD)model and multi-omics approaches to investigate cross-organ regulatory mechanisms underlying abdominal fat deposition in broilers.Our results demonstrated that HFD not only promoted fat accumulation but also altered meat quality traits.Through 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing,we identified significant gut microbiota dysbiosis in HFD-fed chickens,manifested by an increased abundance of Lactobacillus and a decreased abundance of Enterococcus.However,jejunal microbiota transplantation from HFD donors did not induce abdominal fat deposition in recipient chickens.Metabolomic profiling revealed that HFD elevated the level of succinic acid,a metabolite positively correlated with Lactobacillus abundance and potentially generated by Lactobacillus.This increase in succinic acid(SA)further triggered metabolic inflammation response in both jejunal tissue and serum.In vivo validation established succinic acid as a key inflammatory mediator facilitating HFD-induced cross-organ communication between the jejunum and abdominal adipose tissue,enhancing intestinal lipid uptake and subsequent abdominal fat deposition.Bulk and single-nucleus RNA sequencing(snRNA-seq)revealed that HFD induced macrophage population expansion and intensified adipocyte-macrophage crosstalk.Adipocyte-macrophage co-culture systems further elucidated that macrophages are an indispensable factor in succinic acid-induced fat deposition.Conclusion This study delineates a succinic acid-driven"gut-fat axis"governing abdominal fat deposition in broilers,integrating gut microbiota dysbiosis and macrophage-mediated inflammatory adipogenesis.By identifying succinic acid as a cross-organ signaling molecule that enhances lipid absorption and activates macrophage-dependent adipogenesis,we establish systemic metabolic-immune crosstalk as a pivotal regulatory mechanism.These findings redefine fat deposition as a process extending beyond adipose-centric models,advancing multi-omics-guided strategies for sustainable poultry production.

文摘Photoreforming poly(lactic acid)(PLA)plastics into pyruvic acid(PA)coupled with hydrogen evolution is of great significance for sustainable development.However,a significant challenge lies inα-OH bond cleaving of lactic acid(LA).Herein,CdS/Bi_(4)Ti_(3)O_(12)composite is fabricated,bridged by Bi−S bonds,through in-situ growth of CdS nanoparticles on Bi_(4)Ti_(3)O_(12)nanoflowers for the successive removal of hydrogen fromα-C in LA.In-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirms the S-scheme carriers transfer route and interfacial Bi−S bond in CdS/Bi_(4)Ti_(3)O_(12).Consequently,the photo-electrons and holes with extended lifetimes and strong redox potential accumulate in the CdS conduction band and Bi_(4)Ti_(3)O_(12)valence band,respectively,as evidenced by in-situ electron spin resonance and time-resolved photoluminescence.This facilitates the generation of·OH radicals,which further participate in the successive dehydrogenation reaction of LA.Consequently,the photoreforming efficiencies of converting PLA into PA and H_(2)by CdS/Bi_(4)Ti_(3)O_(12)are 1.7 and 3.16 mmol g^(-1)h^(-1),which are respectively 2.8 and 22 times higher than that by pristine Bi_(4)Ti_(3)O_(12).The present work provides a new approach for designing S-scheme to achieve hydrogen production and value-added conversion of plastics.
