Abstract The reliable operation of Li metal batteries suffers from cathode collapse due to high‐voltage cycling, interfacial reactivity the deposits, self‐discharge at elevated temperatures, as well power output deterioration in low‐temperature scenarios. In contrast individual electrode optimization, herein, a hetero‐layered separator with an asymmetric functional coating on polyethylene is proposed response aforementioned issues: On face‐to‐cathode side, hybrid layer molecular sieve and...
The emerging soft robots have attracted increasing interests and gotten rapidly developed, but it is still challenging to substantially promote their response speed work density. In addition, the wireless way conveniently trigger devices, especially for centimeter‐scale ones, highly desired. Herein, multistimuli‐responsive insect‐scale robotics reported based on a super‐aligned VO 2 nanowire arrays (NAs)/carbon nanotube (CNT) bimorph film, comprehensively addressing aforementioned problems....
The recent synthesis and characterization of violet phosphorus (VP) demonstrate that it is the most stable allotrope phosphorus, which could become a promising 2D layered semiconductor with potential applications in optoelectronic electronic devices. However, experiments exploring complex refractive index or permittivity have yet to be performed, hindering further application access. Due small size VP crystal sample available by current growth method, measurement for challenging. In this...
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has been widely used to produce high quality 2D transitional metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDCs). However, violent evaporation and large diffusivity discrepancy of chalcogen precursors at elevated temperatures often result in poor regulation on X:M molar ratio (M = Mo, W etc.; X S, Se, Te), thus it is rather challenging achieve the desired products TMDCs. Here, a modified spatially confined strategy (MSCS) utilized suppress rising S concentration between two...
Single-crystalline vanadium dioxide nanowires (VO2 NWs) have attracted significant interest due to their unique characteristics, which originate from the single-domain metal–insulator phase transition (MIT) property. However, lack of facile technologies produce vertical nanowire arrays (NAs) in a large area has limited mass fabrication VO2-based devices. Here, an antimony-assisted hydrothermal method is developed for low-temperature production wafer-scale VO2 NAs on arbitrary substrates...
Abstract Broadband and large-depth THz modulation are crucially important for building next-generation devices in communication systems. Here, we present a broadband modulator based on silicon/self-assembled silver nanoparticle (SAM AgNP) arrays, which exhibits within the frequency range of 0.2–2.0 large depth ∼91.2% under moderate near-infrared (NIR) light intensity 1.77 W cm −2 . For mechanism, plasmon-enhanced NIR absorption SAM AgNP arrays shows key role increasing photoconductivity...
Stress/strain engineering is believed to be an effective way adjust the thermal conductivity of materials dynamically or as needed. Compared with bulk materials, micro‐/nanoscale structures can withstand greater stress/deformations that lead evident changes in their after undergoing stress/strain; this phenomenon has been predicted by theoretical simulations. Nevertheless, measuring a single wire small size upon controllable bending angles faced major challenges. Herein, method using VO 2...
