Electrochemical biomass conversion offers a sustainable alternative to conventional chemical processes. This study introduces a novel acid-induced in situ surface reconstruction strategy on metal foams, enabling efficient biomass transformation. The approach is versatile, adaptable across metals and acids, and provides a scalable platform for green chemistry, demonstrating significant potential for advancing resource recycling and sustainable industrial applications.

Abstract

Electrocatalytic biomass conversion offers a sustainable route for producing organic chemicals, with electrode design being critical to determining reaction rate and selectivity. Herein, a prediction-synthesis-validation approach is developed to obtain electrodes for precise biomass conversion, where the coexistence of multiple metal valence states leads to excellent electrocatalytic performance due to the activated redox cycle. This promising integrated foam electrode is developed via acid-induced surface reconstruction to in situ generate highly active metal (oxy)hydroxide or oxide (MOxHy or MOx) species on inert foam electrodes, facilitating the electrooxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Taking nickel foam electrode as an example, the resulting NiOxHy/Ni catalyst, featuring the coexistence of multivalent states of Ni, exhibits remarkable activity and stability with a FDCA yields over 95% and a Faradaic efficiency of 99%. In situ Raman spectroscopy and theoretical analysis reveal an Ni(OH)2/NiOOH-mediated indirect pathway, with the chemical oxidation of 5-HMF as the rate-limiting step. Furthermore, this in situ surface reconstruction approach can be extended to various metal foams (Fe, Cu, FeNi, and NiMo), offering a mild, scalable, and cost-effective method for preparing potent foam catalysts. This approach promotes a circular economy by enabling more efficient biomass conversion processes, providing a versatile and impactful tool in the field of sustainable catalysis.

Tailored transformation of high-spin Ni2+ (t2g 6eg 2) into low-spin Ni3+ (t2g 6eg 1) by introducing oxygen vacancies (Ov) can enhance reduction/adsorption of NO3 ‒→*NO and subsequent protonation to generate *NH2 intermediate, which in situ acts as a localized proton donor to promote *CO2→*COOH on adjacent Ce3+–O site for generating *CO intermediate, following by cross-coupling of the reduced C-/N-intermediates to achieve efficient urea electrosynthesis.

Abstract

The co-electrolysis of CO2 and NO3 − to synthesize urea has become an effective pathway to alternate the conventional Bosch-Meiser process, while the complexity of C-/N-containing intermediates for C−N coupling results in the urea electrosynthesis of unsatisfactory efficiency. In this work, an electronic spin state modulation maneuver with oxygen vacancies (Ov) is unveiled to effectively meliorate the oriented generation of key intermediates *NH2 and *CO for C−N coupling, furnishing urea in ultrahigh yield of 2175.47 µg mg−1 h−1 and Faraday efficiency of 70.1%. Mechanistic studies expound that Ov can induce the conversion of the high-spin state Ni2+ (t2g 6eg 2) of Ni@CeO2−x to the low-spin state Ni3+ (t2g 6eg 1), which markedly enhances the hybridization degree of the Ni 3d and the N 2p orbitals of *NO, facilitating the selective formation of *NH2. Notably, the in situ generated *NH2 intermediates can serve as a localized proton donor to promote the electroreduction of CO2 on the adjacent site Ce3+−O to exclusively afford *CO, followed by C−N coupling of each other to efficiently synthesize urea. The strategy of tailored switching of the active site spin state provides a reliable reference to rectify the electronic structure of electrocatalysts for directional CO2 valorization.

Insufficient hole injection, excessive electron injection, and abundant defects on the surface of QDs are limiting the performance of blue QLEDs. An in situ patching strategy with GACl is proposed to simultaneously passivate surface defects and enhance hole injection, with the EQE increasing from 16.3% to 23.5%. The model is proposed to understand the physical mechanism of hole injection and transport.

Abstract

The poor efficiency and stability of blue Quantum Dot Light-Emitting diodes (QLED) hinders the practical applications of QLEDs full-color displays. Excessive electron injection, insufficient hole injection, and abundant defects on the surface of quantum dots (QD) are the main issues limiting the performance of blue devices. Herein, an in situ treatment with bipolar small molecule polydentate ligand–guanidine chloride (GACl) is proposed to simultaneously suppress excessive electron injection, patch surface defects of QDs and enhance hole injection. GACl-treated blue QLEDs exhibited a remarkable increase in maximal external quantum Efficiency (EQE) from 16.3% to a record 23.5%, accompanied by maximal luminance (36810 cd m−2), excellent maximal current efficiency (17.5 cd A−1), and enhanced device stability. Combining C–V and J–V characteristics, a concise physical model of hole injection is also established: Below 3 V, hole injection is controlled by the interfacial barrier, primarily through tunneling and thermionic injection; Above 3 V, the interfacial barrier is eliminated, and hole injection efficiency is governed by transport within the QD layer. This study showed a clear physical model for understanding the hole injection mechanism in QLEDs, offering valuable design strategies for improving the performance of blue-QLEDs.

Antimicrobial resistance and impaired bone regeneration are the great challenges in treating infected bone defects. This work reported a quaternized chitosan (QCS) coated gallium-based metal–organic frameworks (GaMOF), to capture the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) as a “captor” and rejuvenate Methicillin (Me). Then, a radially oriented porous cryogel (Me/QCSGa-MOF@Cryogel) is fabricated for combating resistant bacteria and guiding bone regeneration in infected bone defects.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance and impaired bone regeneration are the great challenges in treating infected bone defects. Its recurrent and resistant nature, high incidence rate, long-term hospitalization, and high medical costs have driven the efforts of the scientific community to develop new therapies to improve the situation. Considering the complex microenvironment and persistent mechanisms mediated by resistant bacteria, it is crucial to develop an implant with enhanced osseointegration and sustained and effective infection clearance effects. Here, a positively charged quaternized chitosan (QCS) coated gallium-based metal–organic framework (GaMOF) is designed, to capture the antibiotic-resistant bacteria (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA) as a “captor”, and rejuvenate Methicillin (Me) via disturbing the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Then, a radially oriented porous cryogel loaded with the Me and QCSGaMOF is fabricated by the directional freeze-casting method. The oriented porous structure has an enhanced osseointegration effect by guiding the ingrowth of osteogenic cells. In vitro and in vivo experiments prove the advantages of as-prepared Me/QCSGa-MOF@Cryogel in combating resistant bacteria and guiding bone regeneration in infected bone defects.

This study presents a systematic method for the direct growth of GaN on six-inch silicon substrates without buffers, significantly reducing GaN-to-substrate thermal resistance while maintaining structural quality comparable to buffered approaches. As-grown AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterojunctions on this buffer-less platform demonstrate state-of-the-art 2D electron gas mobilities, paving the way for efficient III-nitride transistors and advancing fundamental research on electron dynamics.

Abstract

Thick metamorphic buffers are considered indispensable for III-V semiconductor heteroepitaxy on large lattice and thermal-expansion mismatched silicon substrates. However, III-nitride buffers in conventional GaN-on-Si high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) impose a substantial thermal resistance, deteriorating device efficiency and lifetime by throttling heat extraction. To circumvent this, a systematic methodology for the direct growth of GaN after the AlN nucleation layer on six-inch silicon substrates is demonstrated using metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Crucial growth-stress modulation to prevent epilayer cracking is achieved even without buffers, and threading dislocation densities comparable to those in buffered structures are realized. The buffer-less design yields a GaN-to-substrate thermal resistance of (11 ± 4) m2 K GW−1, an order of magnitude reduction over conventional GaN-on-Si and one of the lowest on any non-native substrate. As-grown AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterojunctions on this template show a high-quality 2D electron gas (2DEG) whose room-temperature Hall-effect mobility exceeds 2000 cm2 V−1 s−1, rivaling the best-reported values. As further validation, the low-temperature magnetoresistance of this 2DEG shows clear Shubnikov-de-Haas oscillations, a quantum lifetime > 0.180 ps, and tell-tale signatures of spin-splitting. These results could establish a new platform for III-nitrides, potentially enhancing the energy efficiency of power transistors and enabling fundamental investigations into electron dynamics in quasi-2D wide-bandgap systems.

This work presents a universal surface residual alkali conversion strategy based on NH4F treatment and ring-opening polymerization of tetrahydrofuran. The approach transforms residual alkali into a stable polymer coating which can enhance interfacial stability, suppress lattice oxygen release and reduce side reactions, providing a promising solution to overcome residual alkali and interfacial instability issues for layered oxide cathodes in practical application.

Abstract

Layered transition metal oxides (LTMOs) are attractive cathode candidates for rechargeable secondary batteries because of their high theoretical capacity. Unfortunately, LTMOs suffer from severe capacity attenuation, voltage decay, and sluggish kinetics, resulting from irreversible lattice oxygen evolution and unstable cathode-electrolyte interface. Besides, LTMOs accumulate surface residual alkali species, like hydroxides and carbonates, during synthesis, limiting their practical application. Herein, a universal strategy is suggested to in situ convert surface residual alkali into a stable polymer coating layer for LTMOs, thus turning wastes into treasure. The formation process of polymer coating involves NH4F treatment to consume residual alkali, then utilizing generated fluorides to induce the ring-opening polymerization of tetrahydrofuran. Implementing this strategy to Li-rich Mn-based cathode materials (LRM) results in a notable reduction in voltage hysteresis, along with enhanced kinetics and cycling stability in lithium-ion batteries. With this layer of encapsulation, surface lattice oxygen release and layered-to-spinel phase transition of LRM are significantly alleviated with minimal mechanical degradation and surface parasitic reactions. Such strategy can also be applied to air-sensitive sodium-rich LTMOs in sodium-ion batteries, which showcases superior universality. This work might provide a promising solution to overcome residual alkali and interfacial instability issues for LTMOs in practical application.

The “bifunctional group modulation strategy” enables precise emission wavelength control while maintaining exceptionally narrow FWHM values. Non-sensitized pure green OLEDs based on DBNDS-TPh exhibited peak EQE of 34.5% and 36.0%, with CIE coordinates of (0.17, 0.76) and (0.19, 0.75) at the doping concentration of 1 and 3 wt.%. This is the first instance of a green OLED in a bottom-emitting device structure achieving a CIEy value of 0.76.

Abstract

Herein, a parallel “bifunctional group” modulation method is proposed to achieve controlled modulation of the emission wavelength and full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) values. As a result, three proof-of-concept emitters, namely DBNDS-TPh, DBNDS-DFPh, and DBNDS-CNPh, are designed and synthesized, with the first functional dibenzo[b,d]thiophene unit concurrently reducing the bandgap and elevate their triplet state energy. A second functional group 1,1′:3′,1″-triphenyl, and electron acceptors 1,3-difluorobenzene and benzonitrile, respectively, to deepen the HOMO and LUMO levels. Accordingly, the CIE coordinates of DBNDS-TPh, DBNDS-DFPh, and DBNDS-CNPh are (0.13, 0.77), (0.14, 0.77), and (0.14, 0.76) respectively, in a dilute toluene solution. This marks the first instance of achieving a CIEy value of 0.77 in dilute toluene solutions. Significantly, the non-sensitized pure-green OLEDs based on DBNDS-TPh and DBNDS-DFPh demonstrate peak EQE of 35.0% and 34.5%, with corresponding CIE coordinates of (0.18, 0.75), (0.17, 0.76) at the doping concentration of 1 wt.%, representing the first green OLED with a CIEy value reaching 0.76 in a bottom-emitting device structure as reported in the literature.

High-modulus homochiral Al2O3 yarn artificial muscles with a different actuation mechanism containing volume expansion and topological structure transformation are fabricated. Under an electric drive, the torsional muscle provides a high actuation stress of 483.5 MPa, a large energy density of 9.8 J g−1, and a high output power of 10.3 W g−1, while maintaining a large stroke of 13.5%.

Abstract

Fiber-based artificial muscles are soft actuators used to mimic the movement of human muscles. However, using high modulus oxide ceramics to fabricate artificial muscles with high energy and power is a challenge as they are prone to brittle fracture during torsion. Here, a ceramic metallization strategy is reported that solves the problem of low torsion and low ductility of alumina (Al2O3) ceramics by chemical plating a thin copper layer on alumina filaments. These filaments with a high modulus of ≈180 GPa can be twisted into chiral coiled artificial muscles, exhibiting a unique electric thermal actuation mechanism. This tough and robust alumina artificial muscle can carry objects equivalent to 0.28 million times its weight and provide high actuation stress of up to 483.5 MPa. In addition, it exhibits 18 times higher contraction power and 240 times higher energy density than human muscles, as well as a high energy conversion efficiency of up to 7.59%, which far exceeds most reported actuated carbon and polymer artificial muscles. This work has achieved large-scale manufacturing of high-modulus oxide ceramic muscles for the first time.

This study conclusively resolves the atomic configuration at the growth interface, unveiling a periodic molecular MoO3 layer van der Waals epitaxially grown on a single Al-terminated sapphire (α-Al 2 O3) surface. This structure, distinct from prior reports, aligns perfectly with experimental data and enhances the interaction between molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and α-Al2O3. By introducing unique 1-fold symmetry, it enables unidirectional MoS2 alignment, offering fresh insights into interfacial atomic engineering.

Abstract

The epitaxial growth of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) on sapphire substrates enables the formation of single-crystalline monolayer MoS₂ with exceptional material properties on a wafer scale. Despite this achievement, the underlying growth mechanisms remain a subject of debate. The epitaxial interface is critical for understanding these mechanisms, yet its exact atomic configuration has previously been unclear. In this study, a monolayer single-crystalline MoS₂ grown on a sapphire substrate is analyzed, decisively visualizing the atomic structure of the epitaxial interface and elucidating its role in epitaxial growth from an atomic perspective. The findings reveal that the interface consists of a periodic molecular MoO3 interlayer, van der Waals epitaxially grown on a single Al-terminated sapphire surface. Additionally, it is discovered that MoO3 coverage enhances surface interactions and introduces a unique atomic arrangement with 1-fold symmetry at the sapphire surface, thereby facilitating the unidirectional alignment of MoS₂. This discovery provides valuable insights into the growth mechanisms leading to single-crystalline MoS₂ formation, and suggests pathways for quantitatively monitoring and controlling growth dynamics, for the improvement of material quality and process repeatability, applicable for single-crystalline MoS₂ or potentially other transition metal dichalcogenides epitaxially grown on sapphire.

Vibration Energy Harvesting Based on Internal Resonance

Internal resonance is a typical nonlinear phenomenon associated usually with double jumps, two peaks bending to the left and the right respectively in amplitude-frequency responses. The presentation begins with two cases in which 1:2 internal resonance results in the change of hardening and softening characteristics in the amplitude-frequency responses. One case is a pipe conveying fluid flowing in the supercritical speed, and the analysis is based on a discretized model. The other case is coupled cantilevers subjected to magnetic interaction, and the analysis is based on a distributed model. In both cases, with the increase or the decrease of a parameter, multi-scale analysis reveals that double jumps evolve from a jump with softening characteristic and disappear as a jump with hardening characteristic, and the analytical outcomes are supported by numerical simulations. Double jumps with internal resonance may be a possible mechanism to enhance energy harvesting by broadening the harvester working frequency bands. An electromagnetic device with snap-through nonlinearity is proposed as an archetype of an internal resonance energy harvester with double jumps in the amplitude-frequency responses derived from the method of multiple scales. To show the effectiveness, the averaged root-mean-square output voltages are calculated under four kinds of noses, namely, the Gaussian white noise, the colored noise defined by a second-order filter, the narrow-band noise, and exponentially correlated noise. Finally, an L-shaped cantilevered structure laminated with a piezoelectric patch and augmented with frequency tuning magnets is treated analytically, numerically and experimentally. All these works demonstrate that the internal resonance increases the opening bandwidth and the output electricity.

Based on a unique metal-organic core–shell coordination structure, new supercooled liquid materials successfully achieve mutually phase-stability and controllable phase-transition in inherent contradictory, for practical long-term thermal energy storage.

Abstract

Mutual acquisition of phase-stability and controllable phase-transition becomes a predominant criterion of phase-change materials for the practical long-term energy storage but seems contradictory always. Here a strategy combining coordination and hydrogen bonds hierarchically to create a supercooled liquid in a core–shell coordination structure is reported, addressing that demand successfully. This new material is composed of a Mn-methylurea complex (MM) core and the hierarchically bonded erythritols shell. MM glass core with a viscosity of 108 Pa·s determines its thermal phase-stability. As discovered, the ingenious ligand-exchange between erythritol and Cl− ion coordinated with MM core accounts for this effectively reversible phase-transition. This can be triggered by a small shear-stress of 10 Pa within tens of seconds, exhibiting good practicability. Thermodynamics and kinetics of phase-transition are explored.

An anti-scattering CsPbBr3 scintillator array embedded within a polyurethane acrylate matrix for CT imaging significantly suppresses light scattering and enhances the light collection efficiency by nearly two times compared to the monolithic film. The scintillator array provides a high spatial-resolution 3D reconstructed tooth image at a low X-ray dosage in CT imaging.

Abstract

Computed tomography (CT) imaging has emerge as an effective medical diagnostic technique due to its rapid and 3D imaging capabilities, often employing indirect imaging methods through scintillator materials. Arraying scintillators that can confine light scattering to enable high-resolution CT imaging remains an area of ongoing exploration for emerging perovskite scintillators. Here an anti-scattering cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) scintillator array embedded within a polyurethane acrylate matrix for CT imaging using a cost-effective solution-processed method is reported. Due to the large refractive index contrast between the scintillator and matrix, photon propagation can be well confined within the CsPbBr3 scintillator array to significantly suppress the light scattering and enhance the light collection efficiency by nearly two times compared to the monolithic film. Furthermore, the scintillator array exhibits low-dosage and high-resolution CT imaging capability by reconstructing a 3D tooth image with a good spatial resolution of 20.1 lp cm−1 at a low effective dose of 0.22 mSv. This work highlights that the CsPbBr3 scintillator array is a highly promising candidate for CT imaging.

Multi-objective Bayesian optimization algorithm designs high-strength nanolattices made of pyrolytic carbon which offer the compressive strength of carbon steel at the density of Styrofoam. This study combines machine learning with nanoscale strengthening and nanoscale 3D printing to achieve unattained material properties with millimeter scalability for light-weight high-strength materials.

Abstract

Nanoarchitected materials are at the frontier of metamaterial design and have set the benchmark for mechanical performance in several contemporary applications. However, traditional nanoarchitected designs with conventional topologies exhibit poor stress distributions and induce premature nodal failure. Here, using multi-objective Bayesian optimization and two-photon polymerization, optimized carbon nanolattices with an exceptional specific strength of 2.03 MPa m3 kg−1 at low densities <215 kg m−3 are created. Generative design optimization provides experimental improvements in strength and Young's modulus by as much as 118% and 68%, respectively, at equivalent densities with entirely different lattice failure responses. Additionally, the reduction of nanolattice strut diameters to 300 nm produces a unique high-strength carbon with a pyrolysis-induced atomic gradient of 94% sp2 aromatic carbon and low oxygen impurities. Using multi-focus multi-photon polymerization, a millimeter-scalable metamaterial consisting of 18.75 million lattice cells with nanometer dimensions is demonstrated. Combining Bayesian optimized designs and nanoarchitected pyrolyzed carbon, the optimal nanostructures exhibit the strength of carbon steel at the density of Styrofoam offering unparalleled capabilities in light-weighting, fuel reduction, and contemporary design applications.

This work focuses on the synergistic control between ferroelectric polarization (FP) and optical properties in the molecular ferroelectric material, TMCM-MnCl3. It demonstrates that FP can modulate the photoluminescence (PL) emission, while optical writing can trigger FP reversal. This enables a seamless transition between electric-writing optical-reading and optical-writing electrical-reading modes, hinting at the viability of implementing multiplexing and multistate memory in ferroelectric fields.

Abstract

Utilizing the correlation among diverse physical properties to facilitate multiplexing and multistate memory is anticipated to emerge as an efficient strategy to enhance memory capacity, achieve device miniaturization, and ensure information security. As an important functional material, ferroelectrics have long been considered as a potential candidate in multistate memory devices. Furthermore, the integration of optical response offers an alternative path to realizing multiplexing features, further enhancing the versatility and efficiency of these devices. However, combining ferroelectricity and optical activity is always challenging because ferroelectricity is very sensitive to the crystal structure. In this study, on the correlation between ferroelectric polarization (FP) and optical properties in molecular ferroelectric material, trimethylchloromethyl ammonium trichloromanganese (TMCM-MnCl3) is reported. This research demonstrated that the FP can modulate the photoluminescence (PL) emission, while optical illumination can trigger FP reversal. Based on these, both electric-writing optical-reading (EWOR) and optical-writing electrical-reading (OWER) modes have been conclusively established, and the seamless transition between these two modes can be achieved by adjusting the excitation light intensity. These findings reveal an intriguing physical interconnection and imply the viability of implementing multiplexing and multistate memory functionalities in systems based on ferroelectrics.

OSDB: Turning the Tables on Kernel Data

This talk will be streamed via Teams

Operating systems must provide functionality that closely resembles that of a data management system, but existing query mechanisms are ad-hoc and idiosyncratic. To address this problem, we argue for the adoption of a relational interface to the operating system kernel. While prior work has made similar proposals, our approach is unique in that it allows for incremental adoption over an existing, production-ready operating system. In this paper, we present progress on a prototype system called OSDB that embodies the incremental approach and discuss key aspects of the design, including the data model and concurrency control mechanisms. We present four example use cases: a network usage monitor, a load balancer, file system checker, and network debugging session, as well as experiments that demonstrate the low overhead for our approach.
