We demonstrate a W–Ni–YSZ cermet-based solar absorber with high absorptance, low infrared emittance and thermal stability up to 600 °C.
Nanofluid of graphene-based amphiphilic Janus nanosheets produced high-efficiency tertiary oil recovery at a very low concentration (0.01 wt %). The more attractive way is to use nanofluid during the secondary stage, which can eliminate stage and save huge amounts water, especially times when price low. Here, we continue report our findings on application same in recovery, increased efficiency by ≤7.5% an ultralow (0.005 Compared with nanofluids homogeneous nanoparticles, achieved higher...
The key to bringing the electrocatalytic nitrogen fixation from conception application lies in development of high-efficiency, cost-effective electrocatalysts. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), also known as hydrotalcites, are promising electrocatalysts for water splitting due multiple metal centers and large surface areas. However, their activities unsatisfactory. Now, a simple effective way phosphorus doping is presented regulate charge distribution LDHs, thus promoting adsorption...
Stretchable transparent electrodes are key elements in flexible electronics and e-skins. However, existing stretchable electrodes, including graphene sheets, carbon nanotube, metal nanowire networks, weakly adheres to the substrate by van der Waals forces. Such suffer from poor scratch-resistance or durability, this issue has been one of biggest problems for their applications industry. Here we show that, introducing a Au–S bond between Au nanomesh (AuNM) underlying elastomeric substrate,...
Quantum fluctuations give rise to Casimir forces between two parallel conducting plates, the magnitude of which increases monotonically as separation decreases. By introducing nanoscale gratings surfaces, recent advances have opened opportunities for controlling force in complex geometries. Here, we measure rectangular regimes not accessible before. Using an on-chip detection platform, achieve accurate alignment so that they interpenetrate is reduced. Just before interpenetration occurs,...
The next generation of flexible electronics will require highly stretchable and transparent electrodes, many which consist a relatively stiff metal network (or carbon materials) an underlying soft substrate. Typically, such stiff-soft bilayer suffers from wrinkling or folding when subjected to strains, causing high surface roughness seriously deteriorated optical transparency. In this work, with giant effective Poisson's ratio on substrate is found be under biaxial tension upon deformation,...

Abstract The key to bringing the electrocatalytic nitrogen fixation from conception application lies in development of high‐efficiency, cost‐effective electrocatalysts. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), also known as hydrotalcites, are promising electrocatalysts for water splitting due multiple metal centers and large surface areas. However, their activities unsatisfactory. Now, a simple effective way phosphorus doping is presented regulate charge distribution LDHs, thus promoting adsorption...

Bimetallic compounds such as hydrotalcite‐type layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are promising electrocatalysts owing to their unique electronic structures. However, abilities toward nitrogen adsorption and reduction undermined since the surface‐mantled, electronegative –OH groups hinder charge transfer between transition metal atoms molecules.
