Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) imaging revealed an atomically clean and abrupt interface between the In2Te3 and h-BN substrates. Compared with the previously reported In2Te3 FETs, the MBE-grown In2Te3 FETs exhibited superior electrical properties, including a mobility of 6.07 cm2 V−1 s−1, a subthreshold swing close to 6 V dec−1, and an impressive on/off ratio of approximately 105. Furthermore, the Ti/In2Te3 Schottky diodes exhibit a low saturation current of 0.4 nA, an ideality factor of 26.7, and a Schottky barrier height of 0.68 eV.

Employing a combination of X-ray absorption linear dichroism and valence band measurements, we demonstrate that strain can alter the intrinsic band structure anisotropy of metallic VO2. Our findings reveal that reducing the thickness of VO2 films leads to a more isotropic band structure. This observation is further supported by an analysis of the electronic population redistribution in the $${d}_{{||}}{-}{pi }^{* }$$ bands, which affects the screening length and induces effective mass renormalization. Overall, our results underscore the potential of strain manipulation in tailoring the electronic structure uniformity of thin films, thereby expanding the scope for engineering VO2 functionalities. In this article we studied the evolution of band anisotropy in strained VO2(101) thin films. We found out that strain works as a control agent for the anisotropy and thus controls the features of VO2 bands structure. For this crystal orientation a large strain corresponds to a more homogeneous electronic structure of VO2. This impacts the electrons population redistribution between d|| and π bands, the screening length and the effective mass. By controlling the anisotropy and the band structure properties our results can ease the integration of VO2 into complex electronics.","PeriodicalId":19382,"journal":{"name":"Npg Asia Materials","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41427-024-00576-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143187390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, IoT sensors need to be battery-free to realistically manage and maintain the growing number of available sensing devices. Here, we provide a novel sensor design approach that employs metasurfaces to enable multifunctional sensing without requiring an external power source. Importantly, unlike existing metasurface-based sensors, our metasurfaces can sense multiple physical parameters even at a fixed frequency by breaking classic harmonic oscillations in the time domain, making the proposed sensors viable for usage with limited frequency resources. Moreover, we provide a method for predicting physical parameters via the machine learning-based approach of random forest regression. The sensing performance was confirmed by estimating the temperature and light intensity, and excellent determination coefficients larger than 0.96 were achieved. Our study affords new opportunities for sensing multiple physical properties without relying on an external power source or requiring multiple frequencies, which markedly simplifies and facilitates the design of next-generation wireless communication systems. Metasurface-based sensors provide a battery-free sensing solution for maintaining numerous IoT devices with little human resources. However, the conventional method exploited resonant mechanisms associated with multiple physical parameters through different frequencies, although available frequencies were strictly limited. We report the first sensor design approach using circuit-based metasurfaces that offer a higher degree of freedom to design time-varying scattering profiles associated with multiple physical properties at a single frequency. Our prototype detects light intensity and temperature with an excellent determination coefficient above 0.96 via a machine-learning technique.","PeriodicalId":19382,"journal":{"name":"Npg Asia Materials","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41427-024-00574-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143187396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ni-rich layered cathodes are benchmark materials for traditional LIBs owing to their high energy density. Recent studies have highlighted the advantages of using crack-free, single-crystalline cathode materials in ASSBs. In this study, a scalable infiltration sheet-type process was used to fabricate composite electrodes with different cathode-material morphologies for ASSBs. Typically, crack-free single-crystalline materials exhibit better retention performance and lower rate capability (i.e., slower kinetics in charge‒discharge processes) than polycrystalline cathode materials. Li6PS5Cl-infiltrated polycrystalline electrodes showed excellent retention performance and rate capability. Galvanostatic intermittent titration technique analysis and transmission electron microscopy of the single-crystalline electrode confirmed severe polarization and the presence of a rock-salt-structure layer in the cathode particles; these results indicated side reactions within the layered structure of the material. In contrast, composite electrodes consisting of polycrystalline cathode materials infiltrated with the solid electrolyte Li6PS5Cl showed excellent electrochemical performance owing to intimate electrode–electrolyte interfacial contact. The result from this study confirmed the critical influence of interface engineering and material morphology on the overall performance and stability of ASSBs and could facilitate the development of high-performance ASSBs in the future. This study introduces a technique for utilizing conventional lithium-ion battery electrodes in all-solid-state batteries. By infiltrating a solid electrolyte solution into the porous electrode, the effects based on the morphology of the active material were investigated. In poly-crystalline materials, high coverage and the formation of a thin side reaction layer were observed. Consequently, the infiltration process also confirmed the superior performance of poly-crystalline materials.","PeriodicalId":19382,"journal":{"name":"Npg Asia Materials","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41427-024-00555-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143187383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these compounds decompose in an air atmosphere and become inactive, which leads to difficulty in handling. Here, we focused on perovskite oxynitrides as air-stable and efficient supports for ammonia decomposition catalysts. Ni-loaded oxynitrides exhibited 2.5–18 times greater catalytic activity than did the corresponding oxide-supported Ni catalysts, even without noticeable differences in the Ni particle size and surface area of the supports. The catalytic performance of the Ni-loaded oxynitrides is well correlated with the nitrogen desorption temperature during N2 temperature-programmed desorption, which suggests that the lattice nitrogen in the oxynitride support rather than the Ni surface is the active site for ammonia decomposition. Furthermore, NH3 temperature-programmed surface reactions and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that NH3 molecules are preferentially adsorbed on the nitrogen vacancy sites on the support surface rather than on the Ni surface. Thus, the ammonia decomposition reaction is facilitated by a vacancy-mediated reaction mechanism. Oxynitride-supported Ni catalysts exhibit much higher activity than oxide-supported Ni catalysts for ammonia decomposition reaction. Ammonia is activated at nitrogen vacancy sites on the surface of oxynitride in close vicinity to the supported Ni nanoparticles rather than on the Ni surface, and therefore the catalytic performance is dominated by ease of nitrogen vacancy formation on the catalyst surface.","PeriodicalId":19382,"journal":{"name":"Npg Asia Materials","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41427-024-00572-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143187395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings revealed that Pt NCs exerted an inhibitory effect on proliferation, migration, and colony formation while promoting apoptosis in both MG-63 (P53−) and U2-OS (P53+) cells. The inhibitory effect on the malignant characteristics of MG-63 (P53−) cells was more obvious, indicating that the potential anticancer effect of Pt NCs was not dependent on P53. Animal experiments have substantiated the in vivo anticancer properties of Pt NCs, while also revealing their lower toxicity on cells and tissues. Pt NCs possess the ability to impede cell proliferation by inducing DNA damage and arresting the cell cycle in the G1 phase and possess the ability to promote BAX/Bcl-2/Caspase-3/mitochondrial apoptosis. Pt NCs may promote mitochondrial apoptosis by promoting damaging autophagy, thereby promoting cellular demise. This study has confirmed the P53-independent anticancer impact of Pt NCs on osteosarcoma in vitro and in vivo.

Extensive research has been conducted, but the intrinsic origins of hysteresis remain poorly understood. Here, we report a study of the kinetic origin of hysteresis and the enhanced barocaloric effect (BCE) in MnCoGe-based alloys with ~2% nonmagnetic In atoms. First-principles calculations demonstrate that substituting In atoms at Ge sites rather than Co sites results in a lower energy barrier, indicating a narrower hysteresis for the former. Combining neutron powder diffraction (NPD) with magnetic and calorimetric measurements completely verified the theoretical prediction. Electron local function (ELF) calculations further reveal the atomic coordination origin of regulated hysteresis due to weaker Co–Ge bonds when In atoms replace Ge, which is opposite to Co sites. Moreover, we experimentally investigate the BCE and find that although MnCo(Ge0.98In0.02) has a lower barocaloric entropy change ΔSP than does Mn(Co0.98In0.02)Ge, the reversible ΔSrev of the former is advantageous owing to a smaller hysteresis. The maximum ΔSrev of MnCo(Ge0.98In0.02) is 1.7 times greater than that of Mn(Co0.98In0.02)Ge.

This thermoswitchable adhesive (TSA) hydrogel displays both strong adhesion and gentle detachment with an over 1000-fold gap in underwater adhesion strength onto glass, titanium, aluminum, and Teflon substrates when exposed to temperatures above and below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST).

Moreover, the lowermost surface is sufficiently soft to gently detach from the substrate below the LCST.
