In the Internet of things (IoT), motion sensor in the perceptual layer is at the forefront of the information collection, which plays a crucial role in the IoT. However, with a large number of commercial applications, several problems of motion sensor limit the development of IOT such as poor portability, poor environmental adaptability, and high energy consumption, etc. In this work, an ultralight, self-powered and self-adaptive motion sensor (UMS) is reported. Total mass of the UMS is less than 20 mg. Self-powered characteristic of the UMS is achieved based on the principle of triboelectric nanogenerator by using the coupling of triboelectrification and electrostatic induction as governed by the Maxwell's displacement current. Moreover, the UMS shows satisfactory self-adaptive performance of both temperature and humidity, less-sensitive to temperature in surroundings, from 15 ℃ to 60 ℃, and ambient humidity under 90% RH. Furthermore, sensing signals triggered by different motion behaviors, such as grasping, walking, stooping and so on, can be distinguished by the processor clearly, which can be applied to motion recognition and machine control. This work presents a novel UMS with characteristics of portability, energy conservation and environmental friendliness. The UMS shows broad prospect in perceptual layer application in IoT.

A series of phenolphthalein-based poly (arylene ether ketone) (PEK) copolymer are synthesized to prepare anion exchange membranes (AEMs). The ion group 1-vinyl imidazole is introduced on the unit of phenolphthalein-based as a hydrophilic segment and cross-linking agent. The structure of resulting membranes was investigated by 1 H NMR and FT-IR. The well-defined microphase-separated structures were verified by TEM and SAXS profiles. The cross-linked membrane of ImPEK-0.4 exhibits high hydroxide conductivity (0.0836 S/cm, at 80 °C), excellent mechanical performance (69.6 MPa) and the maximum swelling ratio is only 7.95% at 80 °C. Furthermore, the excellent alkaline stability is demonstrated by immersing the prepared membrane in 1 M NaOH at 40 °C for 400 h. The ionic conductivity is still high to 0.0381 S/cm for ImPEK-0.4. These results indicate that combining phase separation architecture and crosslinking may possess potential applications for alkaline fuel cells (AFCs).

Solar steam generation has become the most promising solar-thermal applications in recent years. Scientists often focus on the search for superior materials, efficient structures, while ignoring the use of residual heat from the water at the bottom. In this paper, a membrane distillation system that utilizes residual heat was added in a new solar house of a domestic hot water and drinking water supply system in the first place. The pDA-rGO-PTFE membrane as an excellent evaporator was characterized in solar steam generation system, which possesses good hydrophilicity capacity and high intrinsic absorption properties . And at the optimal concentration of 20 mg/mL, the evaporation rate and efficiency of pDA-rGO-PTFE membrane could reach up 1.45 kg·m −2 ·h −1 and 93.8% respectively in one sun (one sun = 1kw·m −2 ). The PTFE membrane as a separator was applied in a membrane distillation system. Under average 0.66 sun in the natural environment, the average evaporation rate of a new solar house could reach about 1.10 kg·m −2 ·h −1 , and there is an additional 0.71 kg·m −2 ·h −1 membrane permeation flux by the residual heat. In addition, the new solar house showed an excellent durability and desalination ability, the ions rejection rations of the collected condensate water were close to 99.8%. Hence, we conclude that further ideas of a new solar house were provided for solving water scarcity, domestic water consumption and the application of solar steam generation in the future.

In this study, W-(Y 0.9 La 0.1 ) 2 O 3 composite powders are fabricated by means of a combination of wet chemical method and spark plasma sintering. We systematically study the sintering and densification behavior of W-(Y 0.9 La 0.1 ) 2 O 3 composite powders at different temperatures and pressures. The results indicate that ultrafine tungsten-based composites with a dispersed distribution of (Y 0.9 La 0.1 ) 2 O 3 particles can be achieved under optimized temperature and pressure conditions. The optimized pressure and sintering temperature for W-(Y 0.9 La 0.1 ) 2 O 3 composites are identified to be 75 MPa and 1600 °C, respectively. In addition, the surface damage behavior of W-(Y 0.9 La 0.1 ) 2 O 3 composites induced by the laser thermal shock and helium ion irradiation are also investigated. It is shown that the presence of holes greatly enlarges the helium retention during helium ion irradiation and promotes the melting caused by local overheating during laser thermal shock. We find that the fine-dispersed distribution of (Y 0.9 La 0.1 ) 2 O 3 particles in the tungsten-based composites can effectively improve the resistance of helium ion irradiation and laser thermal shock. We hope that these findings could provide some guidance and reference for the fabrication of large-sized tungsten-based materials in fusion engineering.

Mesoporous g-C 3 N 4 /Zn–Ti layered double hydroxide (LDH)-laminated van der Waals heterojunction nanosheets were prepared by a facile one-step in situ hydrothermal method . Due to the strong electrostatic interactions between the positively charged Zn–Ti LDH and negatively charged g-C 3 N 4 nanocrystal , a laminated van der Waals heterostructure was successfully formed between Zn–Ti LDH and g-C 3 N 4 . The mesoporous g-C 3 N 4 /Zn–Ti LDH-laminated van der Waals heterojunction, which had a narrow bandgap of 2.41 eV extended the photoresponse to the visible light region. The obtained heterojunctions showed excellent visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance for the complete removal of ceftriaxone sodium (up to ∼97%) and a high hydrogen production rate (∼161.87 μmol h −1 g −1 ). This was mainly attributed to the formation of the laminated van der Waals heterojunctions, which favoured charge separation and the absorption of visible light, and the mesoporous structure, which provided more surface active sites. This facile strategy for preparing mesoporous g-C 3 N 4 /Zn–Ti LDH-laminated van der Waals heterojunctions offers new insights for the fabrication of high-performance van der Waals heterojunction photocatalytic materials.

Chinese pecans (Carya cathayensis) continuously deteriorate during storage because of their high fatty acid contents. In this study, an electronic nose (E-nose) was introduced to characterize Chinese pecans with different storage times. Chemometric methods (principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares regression (PLSR), and back propagation neural networks (BPNNs)) were employed to analyze E-nose data. For qualitative analysis, PCA could visualize the discrimination between different pecans based on the E-nose data. For quantitative analysis, the results indicated that BPNN models performed better both in predicting storage times and fatty acid contents than the PLSR models. In addition, a multi-target BPNN regression model was built to simultaneously predict the contents of the six main fatty acids, and the results (R2 > 0.95 in calibration sets and R2 > 0.88 in validation sets) were satisfactory. This study provides a potentially viable method for determining the storage times and fatty acid profiles of nut products.

Surfactant plays a remarkable role in determining the growth process (facet exposition) of colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) and the formation of self-assembled NC superstructures, the underlying mechanism of which, however, still requires elucidation. In this work, the mechanism of surfactant-mediated morphology evolution and self-assembly of CeO2 nanocrystals is elucidated by exploring the effect that surfactant modification has on the shape, size, exposed facets, and arrangement of the CeO2 NCs. It is directly proved that surfactant molecules determine the morphologies of the CeO2 NCs by preferentially bonding onto Ce-terminated {100} facets, changing from large truncated octahedra (mostly {111} and {100} exposed), to cubes (mostly {100} exposed) and small cuboctahedra (mostly {100} and {111} exposed) by increasing the amount of surfactant. The exposure degree of the {100} facets largely affects the concentration of Ce3+ in the CeO2 NCs, thus the cubic CeO2 NCs exhibit superior oxygen storage capacity and excellent supercapacitor performance due to a high fraction of exposed active {100} facets with great superstructure stability.

For the electrochemical reduction of oxygen the development of heteroatom-doped carbon-based transition metal catalysts has become a recognized strategy to replace traditional noble metal catalysts. In this work a catalyst consisting of CoFe nanoparticles encapsulated in N-doped carbon-based materials (NC) supported by carbon nanotubes (CNTs), i.e. Fe3Co1@NC/CNTs, was modified via treatment with a phosphate salt to synthesize a P-Fe3Co1@NC/CNTs catalyst. The P-Fe3Co1@NC/CNTs exhibits with 5.29 mA cm−2 an enhanced current density which is comparable to a Pt/C catalyst. In addition, a stability and methanol resistance better than the Pt/C catalyst were observed which is ascribed to the carbon encapsulation and the synergies between the two transition metals. Finally, the reaction mechanism of P-doping was studied and discussed. These results provide possible directions for carbon-based catalysts and doping with heteroatoms for the improvement of catalytic activity. Moreover, the zinc–air battery assembled with P-Fe3Co1@NC/CNTs as the air-cathode exhibited a high-power density of 73 mW cm−2, which is comparable to that of Pt/C (71 mW cm−2) and a specific capacity of 763 mA h g−1. The prepared catalyst could potentially serve to take the place of precious metal catalysts in rechargeable Zn–air batteries.

Thermal boron diffusion, which forms highly doped and shallow p-emitters on phosphor-doped silicon wafers, is one of the primary processes in commercial-scale production of n-type cells. Here, we report on the use of nontoxic and nonvolatile borosiloxane sols as the spin-on boron source. In comparison to the tribromide (BBr 3 ) boron diffusion that is applied in the production of most commercial n-type cells, borosiloxane boron diffusion may have potential advantages in terms of cost, safety, operability, etc. The borosiloxane sols studied here were formed from a cross-linking reaction between boron acid and a mixture of two types of silicon alkoxides, methyltriethoxysilane (MTEOS) and dimethyldiethoxysilane (DMDEOS). The MTEOS/DMDEOS ratio was found to be the key factor determining the synthetic period, net structure, thermal transformation property, and coating behavior of the borosiloxane sols. In combination with the spin-coating method, the performance of borosiloxane boron diffusion into phosphor-doped silicon wafers (1–3 Ω·cm) was systematically investigated by varying the borosiloxane composition (boron/silicon or MTEOS/DMDEOS ratio) and the diffusion process parameters (temperature, ambience, and period of individual sub-steps), and by relating them to the resulting sheet resistance and boron doping profile. The results show that under the diffusion conditions in conventional cell production lines, the formed p-emitters can have variable sheet resistance in the range of 35–582 Ω/□ and boron doping depth of 100–300 nm.

Perovskite solar cells have developed rapidly in recent years as the third generation solar cells. In spite of the great improvement achieved, there still exist some issues such as undesired hysteresis and indispensable high temperature process. In this work, bulk heterojunction perovskite-phenyl-C 61 -butyric acid methyl ester solar cells have been prepared to diminish hysteresis using a facile two step spin-coating method. Furthermore, high quality tin oxide films are fabricated using pulse laser deposition technique at room temperature without any annealing procedure. The as fabricated tin oxide film is successfully applied in bulk heterojunction perovskite solar cells as a hole blocking layer. Bulk heterojunction devices based on room temperature tin oxide exhibit almost hysteresis-free characteristics with power conversion efficiency of 17.29% and 14.0% on rigid and flexible substrates , respectively.

Wearable, flexible sensors based on hydrogel fabrication have recently gained significant attention due to their unique properties. However, developing hydrogel sensors that maintain high sensitivity and work effectively in sub-zero temperatures remains a formidable challenge. Herein, a hydrogel with surfaces featuring randomly distributed microspines is synthesized by combining sodium alginate (SA) and acrylamide (AM) as the hydrogel components. To fabricate a wearable sensor, a highly conductive MXene layer is inkjet-printed onto the surface of the hydrogel microspines. The resulting sensor exhibits a remarkable array of features, including exceptional sensitivity (15.03 kPa −1 ), a low detection limit (10 Pa), a vast operating range (0.12–70 kPa), rapid response and recovery (40/100 ms), reliable performance (over 1000 cycles), and outstanding resistance to low temperatures (-20 °C). Moreover, this hydrogel-based sensor facilitates the efficient collection of human monitoring data, such as vocal patterns, pulse, and joint movements, even when operating at −20 °C and in ice bath conditions. Importantly, the surface-based inkjet MXene hydrogels could be assembled into a deformable triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), allowing mechanical energy harvesting. The TENG exhibited peak output voltage and current values of 5 V and 2.5 μA, respectively.

Transitional metal phosphides (TMPs) anode materials usually have large volume change and weak diffusion kinetics, leading to poor cycle stability. Combining TMPs with conductive carbon matrix has been widely used to boost sodium storage. However, it still needs to make efforts in the rational and facile design of nano/micro-structural TMPs/carbon hybrid anode material. Herein, a MOFs-derived strategy is developed to synthesize porous yolk–shell MoP/Cu 3 P@carbon microcages (MoP/Cu 3 P@C) through in situ and confined phosphidation reaction as a high-performance sodium-ion batteries anode. This yolk–shell structure can offer adequate internal space to buffer the large volume expansion, shorten diffusion distance, and create more active sites of Na + . Especially, the Cu nanoparticles generated from Cu 3 P have remarkable electronic conductivity of 5.7 × 10 7 S m −1 (the second most conductive metal) to benefit transporting electrons. And the introduction of Mo (MoP has high theoretical capacity of 633 mA h g −1 ) can enhance the reversible capacity of the whole anode material. Therefore, these porous yolk–shell MoP/Cu 3 P@carbon microcages possess excellent reversible capacity of 307.8 mA h g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 and extraordinary cycle stability of 132.1 mA h g −1 at 5.0 A g −1 even after 6000 cycles.
