Oxide thermoelectric materials have a wide range of applications due to their excellent stability, low cost, and non-toxic properties. However, their low thermoelectric conversion efficiency limits their practical use. Therefore, improving the performance of oxide thermoelectric materials has become the focus of current research. Interface engineering is an important approach to enhance thermoelectric properties by optimizing electrical transport properties through multiphase composite regulation of phase interface structure. A series of Sr 0.6 La 0.4 Nb 2 O 6-δ /x wt% graphite (x = 0, 0.6, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) composite ceramics thermoelectric materials were prepared, and the mechanism for improving their thermoelectric properties was explored. Graphite serves as an electron momentum amplifier within the Sr 0.6 Ba 0.4 Nb 2 O 6-δ matrix, thereby augmenting both conductivity and power factor values significantly. Notably, the incorporation of 1.5 wt% graphite led to a remarkable enhancement in the thermoelectric power factor at 1073 K, reaching an impressive value of 254.84 μW/K 2 m - representing a notable increase of approximately 51 % compared to the unmodified sample - primarily attributed to the elevated electrical conductivity .

A liquid crystalline epoxide was synthesized and its curing reactivity was compared with that of the conventional epoxy monomers . By utilizing the difference in curing reactivity between the liquid crystalline epoxide and non-liquid crystalline epoxy monomers, a coexistent system of polymer-dispersed and polymer-stabilized liquid crystal (LC) in the intelligent films can be obtained by two-step thermal curing method. If the later curing process was undertaken under an external electric field , the ordered microstructure of liquid crystalline epoxy polymer (LCEP) network can be implanted into the conventional epoxy resin. The competition of the anchoring effect on the LC molecules from the LCEP network and the conventional epoxy resin matrix was crucial to the electro-optical performance of the films. Moreover, the performance of the films can be adjusted by controlling the content of liquid crystalline epoxide and the external electric field applied during later curing. This approach can provide a facile route to regulate the electric-optical performance of polymer-dispersed liquid crystal films for practical applications.

A novel porous membrane of chemically modified polyvinyl butyral (mPVB), with improved thermal properties and chemical stability for lithium ion battery applications, is successfully synthesized by utilizing the chain extension reaction of the OH units from PVB. The porous mPVB membranes are obtained via the tape casting and phase inversion method. The corresponding gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) is achieved by immersing the as-prepared membranes in the liquid electrolyte. The electrochemical performances of the GPE show that the mPVB membranes have the features of good uniformity, high porosity ( ≈ 90%), great thermal stability, and high mechanical strength. Moreover, the GPE exhibits good chemical stability, a wide electrochemical window, as well as high ionic conductivity ( ≈ 1.21 × 10 −3 S cm −1 ). A test of a Li/GPE/LiFePO 4 battery cell shows a capacity of 147.7 mAh g −1 and excellent cycling stability, demonstrating the great potential of the mPVB-based GPE for lithium ion battery applications.

Owing to the high theoretic capacity (2596 mAh g −1 ) and suitable lithiation potential (～0.7 V vs. Li + /Li), Black phosphorus (BP) is considered as an ideal anode material for the fast-charging lithium-ion batteries. However, BP still faces the large volume change and low Li + transfer during the charge/discharge. In this work, a facile two-step high-energy ball milling method is developed to synthesis the black phosphorus@TiP 2 –C (CBP@TiP 2 –C) nanocomposite for the high-rate performance anode material, in which the conductive nanocrystalline TiP 2 is in-situ introduced and uniformly distributed into BP-C matrix. We reveal that the uniformly dispersed TiP 2 nanocrystals can enhance the electronic and ionic conductivities of active particles and the electrode reaction kinetics. The lithiation product cubic Li y TiP 4 phase is beneficial to release the stress, reduce the Li + diffusion energy barrier and accelerate the Li + extraction from LiP 3 upon delithiation . Moreover, the contact among different components can be improved by Ti–C and P–C bonds in the CBP@TiP 2 –C, thus ensuring excellent electric contact within the material and enhancing the structural stability of composites. As a result, the CBP@TiP 2 –C anode displays a high reversible capacity of 1007.4 mAh g −1 at 10.0 A g −1 and excellent capacity retention of 925.6 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles at 2 A g −1 .

ZnO-coated LiMn 2 O 4 cathode materials were prepared by a combustion method using glucose as fuel. The phase structures, size of particles, morphology, and electrochemical performance of pristine and ZnO-coated LiMn 2 O 4 powders are studied in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), galvanostatic charge-discharge test, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XRD patterns indicated that surface-modified ZnO have no obvious effect on the bulk structure of the LiMn 2 O 4 . TEM and XPS proved ZnO formation on the surface of the LiMn 2 O 4 particles. Galvanostatic charge/discharge test and rate performance showed that the ZnO coating could improve the capacity and cycling performance of LiMn 2 O 4 . The 2 wt% ZnO-coated LiMn 2 O 4 sample exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 112.8 mAh g −1 with a capacity retention of 84.1 % after 500 cycles at 0.5 C. Besides, a good rate capability at different current densities from 0.5 to 5.0 C can be acquired. CV and EIS measurements showed that the ZnO coating effectively reduced the impacts of polarization and charge transfer resistance upon cycling.

As a kind of anode materials, iron matrix oxide cannot be widely used in the lithium-ion batteries due to their poor electrical conductivity and huge volume change during the electrochemical cycles. Herein, the porous carbon@Fe 2 O 3 composites are prepared by hydrothermal method. Due to the porous structure and introduction of carbon, the electrical conductivity can be greatly improved. Additionally, the porous structure could buffer the volume change during electrochemical cycles. As a result, the as-prepared carbon@Fe 2 O 3 composites deliver a high initial specific capacity of 1168 mAh/g at 0.1 C. Moreover, the carbon@Fe 2 O 3 composites show outstanding rate performance and superior cycling stability. This work provides a potential anode material for high electrochemical performance Li-ion batteries.

A photoelectrochemical (PEC) method based on the etching reaction of F ions on the surface of TiO2 nanorod arrays (TNRs) was proposed for the high sensitivity and selectivity detection of F ions. With the increase of F ion concentration, the surface etching reaction on TNR becomes more intense, resulting in the increased number of surface active sites, the reduction of electron transfer resistance, and the increase of photocurrent density. The prepared TNRs as a PEC probe exhibits a good linear relationship between photocurrent increment and the logarithm of F ion concentration in the range from 0.05 to 1000 nM with an ultra-trace detection limit of 0.03 nM for F ion detection.

We develop a facile approach for the one-step growth of ultralong and high-quality NiOEP nanowires in a large area, through a solvent-induced self-assembly method without using any structure directing agents. The size of the nanowires can be controlled by changing the composites of solvent mixtures. Being assembled in visible-light sensors, these nanowires exhibit a fast, reversible, and stable response. The highest Ion/Ioff ratio and photoresponsivity of photodiodes could reach 681 and 10.1 mA W−1, respectively, which could be attributed to the perfect single crystal quality, large surface to volume ratio, and fewer recombination barriers within the nanostructures. The facile fabrication and good photoresponse make NiOEP nanowires promising in optoelectronic applications.

CuSeO (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) compounds were prepared by combustion synthesis combined with spark plasma sintering method.

CuSeO compounds have been measured in the temperature range of 323–823 K. The electrical conductivity is greatly enhanced by almost three times from 8.70 to 26.2 S/cm at 323 K by the substitution of Bi with K due to the large decrease of the activation energy. The overall thermal conductivity decreases significantly due to the strong point defect scattering by K doping and possibly enhanced interface scattering on the secondary phase. The maximum ZT reaches 0.6 at 823 K for the sample of x = 0.02, which is about 50% higher than that of the pristine sample. Our work offers a fast and more efficient approach for the fabrication of BiCuSeO-based materials.

As the development of neuromorphic computing , it is meaningful to explore the synaptic memristors based on organic materials owing to their advantages in low cost, good mechanical flexibility and strong biocompatibility. In this work, organic pentacene thin films have been deposited on different substrates by the thermal evaporation method. The prepared thin films on SiO 2 /Si substrates demonstrate the co-existence of digital and analog resistive switching (RS) behaviors as well as a series of synaptic plasticity. To characterize the flexibility of the organic thin films, lateral memristors have been fabricated on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates and demonstrate comparable RS behaviors when the bending radius is decreased to 1.26 cm or after 1000 bending. Furthermore, vertical memristors with Pt/pentacene/indium tin oxide (ITO) structure have been constructed when the organic thin films are deposited on ITO/PET substrates, exhibiting bipolar RS behaviors with low SET voltage of 0.65 V. The vertical synaptic memristors can be used to simulate the “learning-forgetting” experience of human brain. More importantly, an artificial neural network (ANN) can be simulated based on the vertical synaptic memristors, demonstrating 93.8 % recognition accuracy for hand-written digit image. This study suggests potential applications of the organic pentacene thin films for neuromorphic computing.

A new approach to synthesize graphene was applied by reduction of graphene oxide using ascorbic acid. Chitosan/graphene modified electrode could be employed for simultaneous determination of dopamine and ascorbic acid. The modified electrode showed excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of DA and AA. The calibration curves for DA and AA were obtained in the range of 0.3-1067.5μM and 0.6-1378.1μM, respectively. Detection limits were 0.1μM and 0.01μM for DA and AA, respectively. The present method was applied to the determination of AA and DA in human serum samples and the results were quite promising.

A cofired trilayer ceramic architecture showing as MgTiO 3 /TiO 2 /MgTiO 3 was designed to realize temperature-stable and ultrahigh- Q microwave dielectrics in the typical MgTiO 3 -TiO 2 system. The effects of TiO 2 content on the microwave dielectric properties of cofired trilayer ceramics were studied. Through the design of cofired trilayer architecture, the chemical reactions between MgTiO 3 and TiO 2 were limited within a narrow region of MgTiO 3 /TiO 2 interfaces (~ 15 µm in width), which could be beneficial for optimizing the microwave dielectric properties. Excellent characteristics of ε r ~ 18.38, Q×f value ~ 169,900 GHz and τ f ~ − 1 ppm/°C were gained for the MgTiO 3 /TiO 2 /MgTiO 3 ceramic architectures stacked with 1.63 vol% TiO 2 . The current work could serve as new strategies to develop high-performance dielectric resonators and multilayers for 5G wireless communication applications.
