文摘Photoelectrochemical seawater splitting is promising for renewable hydrogen,yet severe chloride corrosion remains a roadblock.Although amorphous catalysts improve hematite(α-Fe_(2)O_(3))photoanode activity,their defect-enabled functionality inherently accelerates structural degradation,exacerbating chloride-induced corrosion.Here,a synergistic dual-functional nano-armor is designed by anchoring phosphate(PO_(4)^(3-))to active sites on amorphous NiMoO_(4)(a-NiMoO_(4)@PO_(4)^(3-)),achieving dual activitystability enhancement.Detailed physicochemical characterization and density functional theory(DFT)calculations show that the successful and stable anchoring of phosphate is highly dependent on the amorphous structural properties of a-NiMoO_(4).Its rich disordered coordination environment provides sufficient highly reactive sites,allowing PO_(4)^(3-)to be firmly bound through strong coordination bonds,which is the key for the dual role of PO_(4)^(3-)coordination.As a dynamic Cl-shield,PO_(4)^(3-)coordinates unsaturated Ni sites,forming an anionic layer that resists Cl-via steric-electrostatic blocking.As an electronic modulator,PO_(4)^(3-)triggers metal-to-ligand charge transfer at Ni sites,depleting electron density to optimize the intermediate adsorption of oxygen evolution reaction(OER)and reduce kinetic barriers.Simultaneously,this charge redistribution induces a built-in electric field that accelerates holeselective transport.Benefiting from these dual effects,the Fe_(2)O_(3)/a-NiMoO_(4)@PO_(4)^(3-)achieves 4 mA cm^(-2)at 1.23 V_(RHE) with exceptional stability in seawater.This work leverages the unique coordination flexibility of amorphous structures to construct a phosphate-coordinated bifunctional nano-armor on hematite photoanodes,which simultaneously enables efficient chloride exclusion and electronic structure optimization.The synergistic mechanism,rooted in strong phosphate anchoring on amorphous carriers,establishes a new design paradigm for photoelectrochemical systems that integrate high activity with extreme environmental stability,providing an efficient pathway toward corrosion-resistant seawater splitting.

文摘Developing eco-friendly natural polymer-based room-temperature phosphorescence(RTP)materials with color-tunability and flexibility remains a crucial yet challenging task.Here,we fabricate a sustainable multicolor-tunable and flexible RTP system based on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose(Na CMC).p-Aminobenzoic acid(PABA)is doped into Na CMC matrix to facilely construct Na CMC/PABA composites.The rigid hydrogen-bonding networks formed between Na CMC and PABA significantly suppress molecular vibration and non-radiative decay,resulting in an ultralong RTP lifetime of up to 1263 ms and a bright blue afterglow lasting 11 s.By incorporating commercial fluorescent dyes fluorescein(FL),calcein(CAL),and lisamine rhodamine B(LRB)as energy acceptors into the Na CMC/PABA donor matrix,multicolor long-afterglow emissions are realized in the long-wavelength region via triplet-to-singlet Forster resonance energy transfer(TS-FRET).Moreover,large-area,multicolor and flexible Na CMC-based RTP films with excellent mechanical properties are conveniently fabricated by a doping-coating-drying approach.The developed multicolor and flexible Na CMC-based RTP materials are successfully used for advanced information encryption.This work provides a direction for developing sustainable,multicolor-tunable,and flexible natural polymer-based RTP materials.

文摘Cement stands as a dominant contributor to global energy consumption and carbon emissions in the construction industry.With the upgrading of infrastructure and the improvement of building standards,traditional cement fails to reconcile ecological responsibility with advanced functional performance.By incorporating tailored fillers into cement matrices,the resulting composites achieve enhanced thermoelectric(TE)conversion capabilities.These materials can harness solar radiation from building envelopes and recover waste heat from indoor thermal gradients,facilitating bidirectional energy conversion.This review offers a comprehensive and timely overview of cementbased thermoelectric materials(CTEMs),integrating material design,device fabrication,and diverse applications into a holistic perspective.It summarizes recent advancements in TE performance enhancement,encompassing fillers optimization and matrices innovation.Additionally,the review consolidates fabrication strategies and performance evaluations of cement-based thermoelectric devices(CTEDs),providing detailed discussions on their roles in monitoring and protection,energy harvesting,and smart building.We also address sustainability,durability,and lifecycle considerations of CTEMs,which are essential for real-world deployment.Finally,we outline future research directions in materials design,device engineering,and scalable manufacturing to foster the practical application of CTEMs in sustainable and intelligent infrastructure.

文摘Developing advanced cathode modification strategies to address the inherent high charge density of Al^(3+) is essential for achieving high-energy-density and long-cycle-life rechargeable aluminum batteries(RABs).Herein,we engineer tetraethylammonium(TEA)cation intercalation as a dual-function strategy that concurrently enables interlayer distance enlargement and electrostatic shielding effects,resolving Al^(3+) polarization-induced sluggish kinetics and cathode degradation in RABs.TEA intercalation triggers exceptional V2O5 interlayer expansion from 4.37 to 13.10Å,while the modulated charge distribution generates an electrostatic shielding effect that significantly weakens the Coulombic interactions between Al^(3+) and V2O5 frameworks.This dual mechanism collectively enhances ion diffusion kinetics and suppresses lattice stress accumulation.Ex situ X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses confirm that the“molecular pillar effect”of TEA enables minimal and highly reversible structural deformation of the cathode(<2.0%volume change after 200 cycles),demonstrating zero-strain aluminum-storage behavior.The optimized cathode delivers a high reversible capacity of 258 mAh g^(−1) at 0.5 A g^(−1),maintains 99%capacity retention at 5.0 A g^(−1),and exhibits an ultralow capacity decay rate of 0.01%per cycle over 6000 cycles.This work opens new pathways for designing stable high-performance RAB cathodes through synergistic modulation of electronic and lattice structures.

文摘Laser-induced graphene(LIG)has emerged as a versatile,sustainable material for advanced energy technologies,offering a scalable,catalyst-free,and programmable method to directly convert carbon-rich substrates into porous,conductive graphene.This single-step laser writing approach enables flexible,patternable electrodes without complex post-processing.With its high conductivity,large surface area,and tunable chemistry,LIG is well-suited for diverse applications including batteries,supercapacitors,dyesensitized solar cells(DSSCs),dual cells,water-splitting electrocatalysis,and triboelectric nanogenerators(TENGs).In energy storage,LIG improves charge transport,buffer volume changes,and provides a robust framework,enhancing capacitance,cycling stability,and rate capability.Its catalytic activity is further boosted through heteroatom doping or transition-metal incorporation,achieving HER/OER performance comparable to noble metals.In DSSCs,LIG functions as a flexible,low-cost alternative to platinum counter electrodes,while in TENGs,its strong triboelectric response and mechanical durability enable integration into self-powered,wearable systems.Despite the immense recent progress in this field,challenges remain regarding the scalability,long-term operational stability,and interfacial engineering of LIGbased composites.Further exploration into multi-laser systems,substrate diversity,and synergistic composite architectures will be crucial to optimizing device performance and reliability.Nevertheless,the green,cost-efficient,rapid,and programmable synthesis of LIG poses it as a cornerstone potential building block material in the development of future sustainable and multifunctional energy systems.Throughout the review we compare fabrication strategies,summarize performance metrics against relevant benchmarks,and identifying common mechanistic advantages conferred by the laser writing process.Remaining challenges-such as scale-up,precursor diversity,long-term environmental stability,and integration into complex device architectures-are outlined alongside prospective research directions.Collectively,this review article provides an in-depth perspective on the multifunctional nature of LIG,underscoring its promise in next-generation energy storage,conversion,harvesting applications,and laying the groundwork for future research directions.

文摘Back-contacted perovskite solar cells(PSCs)have been demonstrated with merits of low material cost and weak ion migration,while the inferior buried surface restricts their performance and bifacial response.Herein,polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)with similar thermal expansion coefficient to perovskites and low tensile modulus is introduced at the substrate/crystal interface to release interface lattice strain and enhance crystallinity.Besides,PVDF can release free fluoride ions to interact with bare Pb^(2+)ions,reducing interface charge trap density and nonradiative recombination.As a result,an impressive efficiency of 13.37%is obtained,setting a new efficiency benchmark for back-contacted PSCs.Moreover,the PVDF-modified devices retain 100%of their initial efficiency after 1,200 h of maximum power point tracking at 60℃.Finally,a high bifaciality factor of 0.96 is obtained,leading to obvious increase of power output under simulated circumstance with reflected light.

文摘As a distinctive unshaped refractory material used in steelmaking induction furnace linings,significant variations in raw material performance,particularly erosion resistance,have been observed across silica sources from different regions.To clarify the causes of performance discrepancies and reveal the erosion resistance mechanisms,erosion resistance experiments were conducted on three quartzite raw materials from distinct regions.Furthermore,the enhancement effects of mineralizers on the raw material with the poorest performance were investigated,and the erosion resistance mechanisms of representative raw materials and mineralization effects in silica ramming materials were proposed.The results demonstrated that the presence of dolomite and iron oxide in raw materials is critical for improving the erosion resistance of silica ramming materials.However,the material with 1 wt.%dolomite as a standalone mineralizer exhibited optimal erosion resistance compared to iron oxide composite mineralizers.This improvement is attributed to the formation of uniformly distributed tridymite and an appropriate liquid phase,which mitigates volume expansion effects caused by quartz phase transformation,thereby minimizing aggregate cracking.Additionally,magnesium derived from dolomite plays a specialized role in the operational environment,with the synergistic effects of these two factors collectively enhancing the material’s erosion resistance.

文摘Thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF) emitters show great potential in photodynamic therapy(PDT) and bioimaging,leveraging their structural adaptability,efficient reverse intersystem crossing(RISC),robust photosensitizing capability,and high photoluminescence quantum yields(PLQYs).Herein,we developed a new class of donor-acceptor-donor(D-A-D)-type TADF materials by connecting the highly twisted indolizine-benzophenone electron acceptors with a series of electron donors including phenoxazine,phenothiazine and 9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine.These materials exhibit enhanced TADF properties,aggregation-induced emission(AIE),alongside high reactive oxygen species(ROS) generation efficiency,effectively mitigating aggregation-caused quenching observed in traditional fluorophores.Among them,IDP-p-PXZ,incorporating the phenoxazine donor,stands out with the smallest singlet-triplet splitting energy(ΔE_(ST)) and the highest spin-orbit coupling matrix elements(SOCMEs).Upon encapsulation into 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000](DSPE-PEG2000) nanoparticles(NPs),IDP-p-PXZ demonstrates extended delayed fluorescence lifetimes in air,an exceptionally fast intersystem crossing(ISC) rate constant(k_(ISC)) of 3.4×10^(7)s^(-1),and a radiative rate constant(k_(r)) of 5.05×10^(6)s^(-1).These NPs exhibit superior biocompatibility,efficient cellular internalization,and potent ROS production,enabling effective simultaneous PDT and confocal fluorescence imaging in HeLa cells.
文摘To comprehensively explore the impact of binder content on the mechanical properties of the Polymer bonded explosive(PBX)substitute material(Polymer-bonded Analogue Explosive(PAE)—it is renowned for its outstanding high-temperature resistance,exceptional mechanical properties,excellent chemical stability,and superior electrical insulation),a series of experiments are meticulously carried out.The dynamic and static mechanical properties,along with the microstructure of PAE,are precisely measured through the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar(SHPB)test,static compression tests,and Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM).The dynamic performance test outcomes clearly indicate that both the binder content(2%,4%,6%)and temperature(25℃,45℃,70℃)exert a substantial influence on the dynamic mechanical properties of PAE.Specifically,as the binder content increases,the elasticmodulus increases,demonstrating higher stiffness,and the longer failure duration represents a prolonged fracture process rather than an improved deformation strain to failure.This means the strength-related stiffness rises with binder content,but the overall ductility does not increase.Notably,PAE with 2%the Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer(EVA)—it bonds well with a variety ofmaterials,such asmetal,wood,and plastic—exhibits distinct plastic deformation behavior,while PAE samples with 4%and 6%EVA display evident brittle fracture characteristics.Additionally,the mechanical properties of PAE are highly sensitive to temperature variations.Among the tested temperatures,PAE showcases the most favorable performance at 45℃.The static performance test results reveal that an increment in binder content effectively helps to reduce the temperature sensitivity of temperature(-40℃,25℃,50℃,70℃)on PAE and enhance its static mechanical properties.The maximum compressive strength gradually diminishes as the temperature rises.However,it should be noted that an excessively high binder content will undermine the mechanical properties of PAE.With the increase in binder content,the compressive modulus demonstrates relatively stable changes under both lowtemperature and high-temperature conditions.The SEM analysis results demonstrate that,aside fromthe initial defects inherent in the material preparation process,the components of PAE are firmly combined.Throughout the tests,no new pores or microcracks emerge,which strongly indicates that the mechanical properties of PAE remain stable.

文摘Azobenzene-based polymer actuators show great promise for photoactuation owing to their unique photoisomerization behavior and tailorable molecular programmability.However,conventional systems are limited by inadequate mechanical robustness,self-healing,and recyclability,hindering their practical implementation.Herein,we present a high-performance azobenzene-functionalized polyurethane(AzoPU)elastomer actuator designed via molecular engineering of photoactive azobenzene moieties and dynamic disulfide bonds.AzoPU exhibits exceptional mechanical properties with retained performance after multiple reshaping cycles,enabled by well-engineered hard-soft segments and synergistic stress dissipation from weak covalent bonds/hierarchical hydrogen bonds.It achieves over 93%self-healing efficiency at room temperature owing to the synergistic interplay of disulfide bonds in the polymer backbone and intermolecular hydrogen bonds.Furthermore,it demonstrates remarkable light-triggered actuation behavior,achieving a phototropic bending angle exceeding 180°toward the light source within 45 s.To showcase its practical potential,proof-of-concept photoactuated devices with flower-,hook-,and gripper-like and local-orientation processed strip-shaped structures were fabricated,which exhibited rapid and reversible light-triggered deformation.This study proposes a novel strategy for the development of intelligent polymeric materials that integrate light responsiveness,self-healing,and recyclability,thus holding great promise for applications in flexible electronics,smart actuators,and sustainable functional materials.

文摘The development of shape-customizable and bulk flexible electrochemical devices through processing technologies as versatile as those used for plastics promises to revolutionize the future of battery technology.However,this pursuit has been fundamentally hindered by the absence of transformative battery materials capable of delivering the necessary electrochemical functions,robust interface adhesion,and,crucially,the suitable rheological properties required for on-demand shaping.In this work,we introduce a concept of a multifunctional plasticine electrode matrix(PEM)featuring nano-interpenetrating networks(nano-IPN)to address this challenge.Utilizing the nonflammable liquid-electrolyte hydration combined with conductive nanomaterials,we have realized a PEM in the form of a multifunctional nanocomposite that integrates ion and electron conduction,component binding,non-flammability,and plasticine-like moldability.With this PEM,we have successfully fabricated a variety of bulk-flexible electrodes with high mass loading of active material(AM)(>70 wt%)using industry-friendly extrusion and compression molding techniques.Moreover,these high AM-loading composite electrodes achieve an unparalleled bulk conformability and flexibility,remaining structurally intact even under severe mechanical stress.Ultimately,we have successfully produced shape-patternable and flexible batteries via extrusion molding.This study underscores the potential of the PEM to revolutionize battery microstructures,interfaces,manufacturing processes,and performance characteristics.

文摘To address the inefficient utilization of electrolytic manganese residue(EMR)caused by its high inert content,this study developed a multifunctional solid waste cementitious material by replacing 50-60%of ordinary Portland cement(PO 42.5)with wet-ground electrolytic manganese residue(WEMR),wetground granulated blast-furnace slag(WGBFS),and carbide slag(CS).The mechanical properties,hydration characteristics,microstructure,and carbon emissions of the material were systematically investigated with varying WEMR dosages.The experimental results demonstrates that the wet-grinding process significantly refines the particle size and enhances the reactivity of both EMR and GBFS.As the WEMR dosage increases,the 28-day compressive strength initially rise and then declines.Optimal mechanical performance was achieved with 24%WEMR and 6%CS,yielding a 28-day compressive strength of 48.2 MPa.Advanced analytical techniques,including XRD,TG-DTG,SEM,and MIP,were employed to examine the hydration products.The findings reveal that the wet-grinding-alkali-sulfur synergistic activation system in the multi-solid waste cementitious material effectively utilize EMR to generate abundant hydration products such as AFt and C-(A)-S-H.Additionally,the fine particles of WEMR fill the pores in the mortar,further enhancing compressive strength.The cost and carbon emissions of this multifunctional system are only 65.97%and 46.9% of those of PO 42.5,respectively.This study provides a feasible approach for the efficient utilization of EMR,contributing to sustainable construction practices.

文摘Three-dimensional(3D)-printedgraphene aerogels hold promise for electromagneticwave absorption(EWA)engineering due to itsultralow density,outstanding electromagnetic dissipationwith the flexibility and precision of manufacturingstrategies.However,their high conductivitycauses severe impedance mismatch,limiting EWAperformance.3D printing requirements also constrainthe dielectric properties of printable grapheneinks,hindering the integration of high-performanceabsorbers with advanced manufacturing.This studyproposes a polyacrylic acid(PAA)gel-mediated3D porous graphene oxide(GO)aerogel multiscaleregulation strategy.Precise gel content control enablesdual-gradient tuning of the rheology(Benefitingdirect ink writing(DIW))and dielectric loss(Enhancing EWA)of GO/PAA composites and reduces aerogel density(6.9 mg cm^(-3)from28.2 mg cm^(-3)).Thermal reduction decomposes PAA into amorphous carbon nanoparticles anchored on reduced graphene oxide(rGO),enhancingimpedance matching and absorption via synergistic 0D/2D interfacial polarization and conductive loss.The optimized rGO/PAA aerogelachieves a minimum reflection loss(RL)of-39.86 dB at 2.5 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 8.36 GHz(9.64-18 GHz)at3.2 mm.Combining DIW and this aerogel,we design a metamaterial absorber(MA)with dual material(dielectric loss)and structural gradients.This MA exhibits an ultrawide EAB of 14 GHz(4-18 GHz)with a total thickness of 7.8 mm.This work establishes a coupled design paradigmof“composition-structure-performance,”providing an engineerable solution for developing lightweight,broadband EWA materials.
