Nevertheless, conventional conducting polymer hydrogels are often brittle and weak due to the intrinsic quality of the material, which exhibits viscoelasticity. This property may cause a delay in sensor response time due to hysteresis. To overcome these limitations, we have designed a wrinkle morphology three-dimensional (3D) substrate using digital light processing technology and then followed by in situ polymerization to form interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels. This novel design results in a wrinkle morphology conducting polymer hydrogel elastomer with high precision and geometric freedom, as the size of the wrinkles can be controlled by adjusting the treating time. The wrinkle morphology on the conducting polymer hydrogel effectively reduces its viscoelasticity, leading to samples with quick response time, low hysteresis, stable cyclic performance, and remarkable resistance change. Simultaneously, the 3D gradient structure augmented the sensor's sensitivity under minimal stress while exhibiting consistent sensing performance.

Conventional heterojunctions encounter obstacles such as large contact barriers, sluggish charge transport, and compromised redox capacity. Here, we introduce an innovative S-type heterostructure photocatalyst, UiO-66-NH₂/ZnS(en)_0.5, designed specifically to overcome these challenges. The synthesis, employing a unique microwave solvothermal method, strategically aligns the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of UiO-66-NH₂ with the highest occupied molecular orbital of ZnS(en)_0.5, fostering the formation of a stepped heterojunction. The resulting intimate interface contact generates a built-in electric field, facilitating charge separation and migration, as evidenced by time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical tests. The abundant active sites in the porous UiO-66-NH₂ counterpart provide adsorption and activation sites for nitrogen monoxide (NO) oxidation. Performance evaluation reveals exceptional photocatalytic NO removal, achieving 70% efficiency and 99% selectivity toward nitrates under simulated solar illumination. Evidence from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and trapping experiments supports the effectiveness of the S-type heterostructure, showcasing refined reactive oxygen species, particularly superoxide. Thus, this study introduces a new perspective on advanced NO oxidation and unlocks the potential of S-scheme heterojunctions to refine reactive oxygen species for NO remediation.</p>","PeriodicalId":100685,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Materials","volume":"3 3","pages":"400-413"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/idm2.12160","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140735100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typically, PHI is obtained in salt-melt synthesis in the presence of alkali metal chlorides. Herein, we examined the role of binary alkali metal bromides (LiBr/NaBr) with diverse compositions and melting points to rationally modulate the polymerization process, structure, and properties of PHI. Solid characterizations revealed that semicrystalline PHI with a condensed π-conjugated system and rapid charge separation rates were obtained in the presence of LiBr/NaBr.

This inevitably leads to a dramatic spike in power consumption and a consequent increase in heat flow density when operating in a confined space. To ensure a successful start-up and operation of 5G optical modules, active cooling and precise temperature control via the Peltier effect in confined space is essential yet challenging. In this work, p-type Bi_0.5Sb_1.5Te₃ and n-type Bi₂Te_2.7Se_0.3 bulk thermoelectric (TE) materials are used, and a micro thermoelectric thermostat (micro-TET) (device size, 2 × 9.3 × 1.1 mm³; leg size, 0.4 × 0.4 × 0.5 mm³; number of legs, 44) is successfully integrated into a 5G optical module with Quad Small Form Pluggable 28 interface. As a result, the internal temperature of this kind of optical module is always maintained at 45.7°C and the optical power is up to 7.4 dBm. Furthermore, a multifactor design roadmap is created based on a 3D numerical model using the ANSYS finite element method, taking into account the number of legs (<i>N</i>), leg width (<i>W</i>), leg length (<i>L</i>), filling atmosphere, electric contact resistance (<i>R</i>_ec), thermal contact resistance (<i>R</i>_tc), ambient temperature (<i>T</i>_a), and the heat generated by the laser source (<i>Q</i>_L).
