Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are in desperate desire with the development of the modern electronic industry. An excellent TIM needs desired comprehensive properties including but not limited to high thermal conductivity, low Yong's modulus, lightweight, as well as low price. However, as is typically the case, those properties are naturally contradictory. To tackle such dilemmas, a strategy of...
Adsorption, storage, and conversion of gases (e.g., carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and iodine) are the three critical topics in the field of clean energy and environmental mediation. Exploring new methods to prepare high‐performance materials to improve gas adsorption is one of the most concerning topics in recent years. In this work, an ionic liquid solution process (ILSP), which can greatly improve the...
Droplet‐based triboelectric nanogenerators (D‐TENGs) have recently gained much attention due to their great potential in harvesting energy. However, the output performance of conventional single‐electrode droplet‐based TENGs is limited owing to low induced electrification efficiency. The asymmetric distribution of electric fields on both sides of the electrode edge enhances the electrostatic induction...
Near‐infrared‐II (NIR‐II) imaging has shown great potential for monitoring the pathological progression and deep tissue imaging but is limited to present unmet NIR‐II agent. Present fluorophores show a promising prospect for NIR‐II imaging, but brightness and photostability are still highly challenging during real‐time monitoring. In this work, atom‐engineered NIR‐II Au24Cd1 clusters with ultrahigh...
One‐step purification of ethylene (C2H4) from a quaternary gas mixture of C2H6/C2H4/C2H2/CO2 by adsorption is a promising separation process, yet developing adsorbents that synergistically capture various gas impurities remains challenging. Herein, a Lego‐brick strategy is proposed to customize pore chemistry in a unified framework material. The ethane‐selective MOF platform is further modified with...
Si Nanodisk Clusters
In article number 2204883, Kai Chen and co‐workers demonstrate a new type of anapole state termed as extrinsic anapole with mode field spreading across the high‐index all‐dielectric nanodisk clusters, unlike the intrinsic one that is confined within individuals. The extrinsic anapole boosts two‐photon‐induced white‐light emission in Si nanodisk clusters.
Nanoparticle clusters provide new degrees of freedom for light control due to their mutual interaction compared with an individual one. Here, the authors demonstrate theoretically and experimentally a type of optical anapole (a nonradiating state) termed as extrinsic anapole, with mode field spreading across Si nanodisk dimers unlike the intrinsic one that is confined within individual nanodisks....
Transition metal nitrides (TMNs) nanostructures possess distinctive electronic, optical, and catalytic properties, showing great promise to apply in clean energy, optoelectronics, and catalysis fields. Nonetheless, phase‐regulation of NiFe‐bimetallic nitrides nanocrystals or nanohybrid architectures confronts challenges and their electrocatalytic overall water splitting (OWS) performances are underexplored...
Multiresponsive flexile sensors with strain, temperature, humidity, and other sensing abilities serving as real electronic skin (e‐skin) have manifested great application potential in flexible electronics, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT). Although numerous flexible sensors with sole sensing function have already been reported since the concept of e‐skin, that mimics the...
Conjugated polymers (CPs) are capable of coordinating the electron coupling phenomenon to bestow powerful optoelectronic features. The light‐harvesting and light‐amplifying properties of CPs are extensively used in figuring out the biomedical issues with special emphasis on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and precise theranostics. This review summarizes the recent progress of CP materials...
All‐Inorganic perovskite CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) quantum dots (QDs) have attracted tremendous attention in the past few years for their appealing performance in optoelectronic applications. Major properties of CsPbX3 QDs include the positive photoconductivity (PPC) and the defect tolerance of the in‐band trap states. Here it is reported that when hybridizing CsPbX3 QDs with indium tin oxide (ITO) nanocrystals...
Nearly inexhaustible sodium sources on earth make sodium ion batteries (SIBs) the best candidate for large‐scale energy storage. However, the main obstacles faced by SIBs are the low rate performance and poor cycle stability caused by the large size of Na+ ions. Herein, a universal strategy for synthesizing amorphous metals encapsulated into amorphous B, N co‐doped carbon (a‐M@a‐BCN; M = Co, Ni, Mn)...
In article number 1904758, Zhou Li and co‐workers design a binary networked elastomer consisting of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI). Based on the ultrastretchable, tough and conductive elastomer, piezoresistive sensors are fabricated and demonstrate a seductive capability to monitor and distinguish multifarious human motions with high accuracy and sensitivity, like facial expressions...
