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. Accordingly, the apparent quantum yield of hydrogen using the optimized PHI reaches up to 62.3% at 420 nm. The density functional theory calculation shows that the dehydrogenation of the ethylene glycol has a lower energy barrier than the dehydrogenation of the other alcohols from the thermodynamic point of view.

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). It facilitates the integrated fabrication of micro-TET, and shows the way to enhance packaging and performance under different operating conditions. According to the roadmap, the micro-TET (2 × 9.3 × 1 mm³, <i>W</i> = 0.3 mm, <i>L</i> = 0.4 mm, <i>N</i> = 68 legs) is fabricated and consumes only 0.89 W in cooling mode (<i>Q</i>_L = 0.7 W, <i>T</i>_a = 80°C) and 0.36 W in heating mode (<i>T</i>_a = 0°C) to maintain the laser temperature of 50°C.

The extent of electronic modulation in SrNbO₃ is strongly correlated with misfit strain, underscoring its phase instability to both chemical doping and crystallographic symmetry variations.

While extensive studies have been carried out to design lithiophilic substrates for facile Li plating, their effects on Li stripping are often neglected. In this study, by homogeneously loading indium (In) single atoms on N-doped graphene via In-N bonds, the affinity between Li and hosting substrates is regulated. In situ observation of Li deposition/stripping processes shows that compared with the N-doped graphene substrate, the introduction of In effectively promotes its reversibility of Li redox, achieving a dendrite-free Li anode with much-improved coulombic efficiency. Interestingly, theoretical calculations demonstrate that In atoms have actually made the substrate less lithophilic via passivating the N sites to avoid the formation of irreversible Li–N bonding. Therefore, a “volcano curve” for reversible Li redox processes is proposed: the affinity of substrates toward Li should be optimized to a moderate value, where the balance for both Li plating and Li stripping processes could be reached.
