Micro–nano organic–inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskites have become some of the most promising materials for optoelectronic applications due to their excellent photoelectric properties. The micro–nano scale laser device made using these materials would be an ideal light source for integrated photonics. The preparation methods of perovskite crystals grown via solution processing have improved a lot, but it is difficult to prepare discrete Fabry–Pérot (F–P) mode optical resonators with high-quality factor and small volume on the substrates due to random nucleation and excessive nucleation points. Hence, we used silver nanowires to induce the crystallization of perovskite crystallites, forming a perovskite/silver coupling structure and achieving an efficient laser. The directional distribution matrix of perovskite crystallites was obtained by adjusting the directional distribution of silver nanowires by using a controllable pulling method. By adjusting the concentration of the perovskite precursor solution, the aspect ratio of the crystallized perovskite microcrystals can be regulated, thus achieving the resonance modes of different perovskite microcavities. The results would open up an alternative approach to achieve controllable growth of perovskite crystallites.

In this study, glass bubbles (GBs) and gallium-based liquid metal (LM) were combined at varying volume fraction ratios to prepare the composites (GB-LMs), with the objective of optimising their state of matter and overall properties. Furthermore, the incorporation of high thermal conductive particles, including copper and silver, was pursued in augmenting the thermal conductive efficiency of the resulting composites. The thermal conductivity (TC), electrical conductivity (EC) and density were measured in order to construct a comprehensive structure - property relationship, while the underlying microphysical mechanisms were elucidated through the numerical simulations based on the distinctive architectures observed. As the loading of LM droplets increases, the GB-LMs undergo a transition from a scattered state to a thick pasty state and then to a dilute gel state. The composite sample with a loading of 32 % LM droplets exhibited a moderate pasty state, with a TC of 4.7 W/(m·K), an EC of 380 S/m, and a density of 2.4 g/cm 3 . The introduction of copper or silver powders into the GB-LMs resulted in a TC of 8.0 W/(m·K), an EC of 1.59 × 10 4 S/m and a low density of 3.2 g/cm 3 . The incorporation of high TC particles into GB-LMs has the potential to markedly improve the TC-to-density ratio of the composite system. These findings facilitate the implementation of LM-based composites in the advanced thermal management.

The surface metallization of Si 3 N 4 ceramics with the Ag–Cu conductive paste containing CuO was systematically investigated. The interfacial reactions between CuO and Si 3 N 4 promoted the surface metallization of the ceramic substrate in an argon atmosphere. The effects of Ag and Cu relative contents on the evolution of the thick film surface morphology were studied. The electrical properties and tensile strength of composite ceramic substrates were enhanced through the generation of Ag–Cu eutectic solution within the thick film layer. The effect of brazing time on the properties of Ag–Cu/Si 3 N 4 composite ceramic substrates was investigated. Mechanical testing and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to analyze the interface tensile strength of the Ag–Cu/Si 3 N 4 composite substrates and the morphology of the Ag–Cu film, and the bonding mechanism of the composite ceramic substrate was studied. When the sample was brazed at 800 °C for 20 min, the maximum tensile strength of 23.6 MPa between the Ag–Cu film and ceramic substrate was obtained, the lowest resistivity of 6.22 μΩ•cm was obtained. The bonding interface between thick film layer and the ceramic substrate formed the Ag–Cu mechanical structure was benefit for improving the comprehensive performance of the Cu/Si 3 N 4 composite ceramic substrate.

A novel sintered-joining of Al 2 O 3 and AlN is achieved for the first time using micro-Ag particle interlayers in air. In comparison with reactive air brazing , this method addresses the issue of reduced strength caused by air holes in brazed joints . Also, this sintered-joining method can be performed at a lower temperature (920 °C), improving the joint strength by relieving the residual stresses. The sintering effect of micro-Ag particles and their high density of dislocations promote the recovery and recrystallization of the Ag interlayer, as well as the interdiffusion of Ag and ceramic. Ag–O clusters formed at the interface can be embedded into oxygen vacancies on the ceramic surface, playing a key role in interfacial joining. By optimizing joining temperature, assembly pressure and holding time, a maximum joint shear strength of 85.2 MPa is achieved at 920 °C for 30 min with an assembly pressure of 1 MPa. This study successfully prepares Al 2 O 3 /AlN joints with excellent mechanical properties, providing a reliable foundation for the fabrication of power integrated circuits with efficient operation.

The management of infected bone defects poses a significant clinical challenge, and current treatment modalities exhibit various limitations. This study focuses on the development of a multifunctional composite scaffold comprising nanohydroxyapatite/polyethyleneglycol diacrylate matrix, silver nanoparticles, graphene oxide (GO), sodium alginate, and M2-type macrophage membrane vesicles (MVs) to enhance the healing of infected bone defects. The composite scaffold demonstrates several key features: first, it releases sufficient quantities of silver ions to effectively eliminate bacteria; second, the controlled release of MVs leads to a notable increase in M2-type macrophages, thereby significantly mitigating the inflammatory response. Additionally, GO acts synergistically with nanohydroxyapatite to enhance osteoinductive activity, thereby fostering bone regeneration. Through meticulous in vitro and in vivo investigations, the composite scaffold exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial effects, robust immunomodulatory capabilities, and enhanced osteoinductive activity. This multifaceted composite scaffold presents a promising approach for the sequential treatment of infected bone defects, addressing the antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and osteogenic aspects. This study introduces innovative perspectives and offers new and effective treatment alternatives for managing infected bone defects.

Self-powered flexible electronic devices are being rapidly developed rapidly for the field of sensing and motion monitoring, posing greater challenges to friction electrical materials. Triboelectric hydrogels must be enhanced in terms of their electrical conductivity and mechanical strength to address the poor stability, low sensitivity, and susceptibility to unpredictable physical damage of conventional hydrogels. In this study, multinetwork polyacrylamide (PAM)-agar (AG)/nanofibrillar cellulose (CNF)-MXene triboelectric hydrogels with homogeneous structures were prepared. By adopting AG and CNF as "sacrificial bonding" modes and utilizing the high conductivity of MXene , triboelectric hydrogels were found to have good electrical conductivity, high tensile properties , high tensile strength , and high sensitivity. Single-electrode triboelectric nanogenerators made of triboelectric hydrogels were used as self-powered wearable sensors for accurately detecting the amplitude of movement in different parts of the human body during exercise. The results obtained in this study have positive implications for promoting the design of high-performance hydrogel materials and their application in flexible wearable sensors.

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is promising for combating deep-seated infectious diseases by generating substantial reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the profound tissue penetration capabilities of ultrasound. However, the compact protective structures of bacterial biofilms present a formidable challenge, impeding ROS efficacy. Given that ROS have a limited diffusion range and current sonosensitizers struggle to infiltrate biofilms, complete eradication of pathogenic bacteria often remains unachieved. In this study, mesoporous titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles are engineered asymmetrically coated with a thin layer of Ag and loaded with L-arginine (LA) to construct ultrasound-propelled nanomotors. These Ag-TiO 2 -LA Janus nanoparticles demonstrate robust self-propulsion upon ultrasonic activation, allowing for deeper penetration into biofilm matrices and enhancing localized biofilm disruption through improved SDT outcomes. Additionally, the incorporation of Ag not only broadens TiO 2 ’s absorption spectrum but also confers photothermal capabilities upon NIR laser excitation at 808 nm. The Ag-TiO 2 -LA nanomotor amalgamates TiO 2 ’s sonodynamic potential with Ag's photothermal properties, forging a versatile antimicrobial agent capable of efficient biofilm penetration and a synergistic antibacterial effect when subjected to dual NIR and ultrasound stimuli. This innovative, singularly-structured nanoparticle stands out as an effective combatant against bacterial biofilms and accelerates the healing process of infected wounds, showcasing potential for multifaceted clinical applications.

To solve the scarcity of fresh water, reverse osmosis (RO) technology for seawater desalination and wastewater reuse has been developed rapidly. However, the performance of RO is limited by poor selectivity towards certain harmful small molecule constituents (e.g., boron in seawater and N-nitrosodimethylamine in wastewater) and the permeability-selectivity trade-off. Herein, a metal polyphenol network interlayer including both hydrophobic zone and monomer adsorption zone is proposed to optimize interfacial polymerization (IP) process for fabrication of RO membrane . This heterogeneous characteristic is endowed by well-chosen phenol (i.e. TTSBI) and metal (Ni). The physicochemical properties of the substrate are also optimized. An ultra-selective RO membrane with thinner separation layer, higher crosslinking degree and larger surface area is obtained. The RO membranes exhibit separation performance beyond the upper selectivity limit for NaCl and hazardous small molecules. The membrane water permeance is 3.50 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 while the NaCl rejection is 99.5 %. Meanwhile, the mechanism of the interlayer influencing IP process is investigated by combining molecular simulation and experimental methods. Our work provides a novel design direction of substrate used for fabricating RO membrane with outstanding performance.

As robots are increasingly participating in our daily lives, the quests to mimic human abilities have driven the advancements of robotic multimodal senses. However, current perceptual technologies still unsatisfied robotic needs for home tasks/environments, particularly facing great challenges in multisensory integration and fusion, rapid response capability, and highly sensitive perception. Here, we report a flexible tactile sensor utilizing thin-film thermistors to implement multimodal perceptions of pressure, temperature, matter thermal property, texture, and slippage. Notably, the tactile sensor is endowed with an ultrasensitive (0.05 mm/s) and ultrafast (4 ms) slip sensing that is indispensable for dexterous and reliable grasping control to avoid crushing fragile objects or dropping slippery objects. We further propose and develop a robotic tactile-visual fusion architecture that seamlessly encompasses multimodal sensations from the bottom level to robotic decision-making at the top level. A series of intelligent grasping strategies with rapid slip feedback control and a tactile-visual fusion recognition strategy ensure dexterous robotic grasping and accurate recognition of daily objects, handling various challenging tasks, for instance grabbing a paper cup containing liquid. Furthermore, we showcase a robotic desktop-cleaning task, the robot autonomously accomplishes multi-item sorting and cleaning desktop, demonstrating its promising potential for smart housekeeping.

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can be improved by introducing appropriate additives into perovskite precursor solutions. However, the exact role and mechanism of additives are still unclear. In this study, self-designed cognition experiments were conducted to improve the hole extraction efficiency, as well as to deeply understand the working principle of additives. A common hole transport material, 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis[N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl) amino]-9,9′-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD), was used as an additive for bulk heterojunction PSCs (BHJ-PSCs). The results showed that the PCE of mesoporous BHJ-PSCs (M-BHJ-PSCs) was enhanced by more than 15% when an extremely low concentration of spiro-OMeTAD additive was added. However, the crystallization of the perovskite was hampered and the recombination risk increased when grain boundaries increased in the perovskite layer. Planar BHJ-PSCs were fabricated to further investigate the role of additives. In comparison with those in planar BHJ-PSCs, the hole extraction efficiency and diffusion length significantly improved in M-BHJ-PSCs due to the transport paths and relay effects caused by the spiro-OMeTAD additive. Subsequently, exact functions and a new working principle of additives in BHJ-PSCs were proposed. This study may extend the possibilities of designing highly efficient PSCs through the promotion of additive research and application.

In this study, we develop a sensitive indirect competitive chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (ic-CLEIA) to detect cadmium (Cd) in cereals. A luminol-hydrogen peroxide chemiluminescence system catalysed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used as the signal detecting system. The method showed a half-maximal inhibition concentration (IC50) of 0.5 ng/mL and a limit of determination (LOD) of 0.06 ng/mL. The assay indicated an effective linear range from 0.16 to 1.56 ng/mL. There were no obvious cross-reactivities with other metal ions, including Hg2+, Pb2+, As2+, Ag+, Fe3+, Cu2+, Cr2+, Au3+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+. Recovery rates ranged from 79.2% to 120.0% for rice, maize, wheat, brown rice and glutinous rice samples. Twenty-five practical cereal samples were analysed, and the comparative analysis of the results showed a strong correlation (r = 0.984) between the CLEIA and the GFAAS methods. The results indicated that the ic-CLEIA developed was acceptable to screen for cadmium in cereal samples.
