Carrier‐selective passivating contacts using transition metal oxides (TMOs) have attracted great attention for crystalline silicon (c‐Si) heterojunction solar cells recently. Among them, tantalum oxide (Ta2O5) exhibits outstanding advantages, such as a wide bandgap, good surface passivation, and a small conduction band offset with c‐Si, which is typically used as an electron‐selective contact layer...
Porous carbon is widely used in energy storage‐conversion systems, and the question of how to explore an efficient strategy for preparation is very significant. Herein, the flame retardant capability of (NH4)2SO4/Mg(OH)2 that contains gas phase‐heat absorption‐condensate phase components is assisted to carbonize coal tar pitch in air and obtain the porous carbon. The mechanism of stepwise inflaming...
The “shuttle effect” and slow redox reactions of Li‐S batteries limit their practical application. To solve these problems, a judicious catalyst design for improved battery cycle life and rate performance is essential. Herein, this issue is addressed by modifying the Li‐S battery separator using a 2D Fe2O3–CoP heterostructure that combines the dual functions of polar Fe2O3 and high‐conductivity CoP...
Dysfunctional transcription factors that activate abnormal expressions of specific proteins are often associated with the progression of various diseases. Despite being attractive drug targets, the lack of druggable sites has dramatically hindered their drug development. The emergence of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) has revitalized the drug development of many conventional hard‐to‐drug...
Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)‐based 2D monolayer semiconductors, with the direct bandgap and the large exciton binding energy, are widely studied to develop miniaturized optoelectronic devices, e.g., nanoscale light‐emitting diodes (LEDs). However, in terms of polarization control, it is still quite challenging to realize polarized electroluminescence (EL) from TMD monolayers, especially at...
Structurally optimized transition metal phosphides are identified as a promising avenue for the commercialization of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. In this study, a CoP nanoparticle‐doped hollow ordered mesoporous carbon sphere (CoP‐OMCS) is developed as a S host with a “Confinement–Adsorption–Catalysis” triple effect for Li–S batteries. The Li‐S batteries with CoP‐OMCS/S cathode demonstrate excellent...
Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries with high energy density and low cost are the most promising competitor in the next generation of new energy reserve devices. However, there are still many problems that hinder its commercialization, mainly including shuttle of soluble polysulfides, slow reaction kinetics, and growth of Li dendrites. In order to solve above issues, various explorations have been carried...
A cross‐linking strategy can result in a three‐dimensional network of interconnected chains for the copolymers, thereby improving their mechanical performance. In this work, a series of cross‐linked conjugated copolymers, named PC2, PC5, and PC8, constructed with different ratios of monomers are designed and synthesized. For comparison, a random linear copolymer, PR2 is also synthesized based on the...
The exploration of moiré superlatticesholds promising potential to uncover novel quantum phenomena emerging from the interplay of atomic structure and electronic correlation . However, the impact of the moiré potential modulation on the number of twisted layers has yet to be experimentally explored. Here, this work synthesizes a twisted WSe2 homotrilayer using a dry‐transfer method and investigates...
