However, using rare and toxic elements during material processing must be circumvented. Herein, we present a scalable method for synthesizing highly crystalline CuS membranes for thermoelectric applications. By sulfurizing crystalline Cu, we produce a highly percolated and easily transferable network of submicron CuS rods. The CuS membrane effectively separates thermal and electrical properties to achieve a power factor of 0.50 mW m<sup>−1</sup> K<sup>−2</sup> and thermal conductivity of 0.37 W m<sup>−1</sup> K<sup>−1</sup> at 650 K (estimated value). This yields a record-high dimensionless figure-of-merit of 0.91 at 650 K (estimated value) for covellite. Moreover, integrating 12 CuS devices into a module resulted in a power generation of ~4 μW at Δ<i>T</i> of 40 K despite using a straightforward configuration with only p-type CuS. Furthermore, based on the temperature-dependent electrical characteristics of CuS, we develop a wearable temperature sensor with antibacterial properties.</p><p>\u0000 <figure>\u0000 <div><picture>\u0000 <source></source></picture><p></p>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </figure></p>","PeriodicalId":48538,"journal":{"name":"Infomat","volume":"6 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/inf2.12626","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142707937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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, by doing so, one can also lose oversight of how significantly the individual components impact key parameters. Although this review presents a variety of materials, the included studies limit electrolyte-separator choices to those that are either fully commercial or whose ingredients are readily available; their thicknesses are predefined by the manufacturer or the studies in which they are included. However, we nevertheless discuss both electrode materials. Apart from typical materials, the list of anode materials includes energy-dense candidates, such as lithium metal, or anode-free approaches that are already used in Li-ion batteries. The cathode composition of an ASSB contains a fraction of the solid electrolyte, in addition to the active material and binders/plasticizers, to improve ionic conductivity. Apart from the general screening of reported composites, promising composite cathodes together with constant-thickness separators and metallic lithium anodes are the basis for studying theoretically achievable gravimetric energy densities. The results suggest that procurable oxide electrolytes in the forms of thick pellets (>300 μm) are unable to surpass the performance of already commercially available Li-ion batteries. All-solid-state cells are already capable of exceeding the performance of current batteries with energy densities of 250 Wh kg<sup>−1</sup> by pairing composite cathodes with high mass loadings and using separators that are less than 150 μm thick, with even thinner electrolytes (20 μm) delivering more than 350 Wh kg<sup>−1</sup>.</p><p>\u0000 <figure>\u0000 <div><picture>\u0000 <source></source></picture><p></p>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </figure></p>","PeriodicalId":48538,"journal":{"name":"Infomat","volume":"6 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/inf2.12627","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142860669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current methods to detect and measure puerarin concentration, such as ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry (UV), are bulky, require an external power supply, and are inconvenient to use. Here, we propose a triboelectric puerarin-detecting sensor (TPDS) which is based on liquid–solid contact electrification, in which liquid–solid interactions generate rapid electrical signals in only 0.4 ms to enable real-time detection of puerarin concentration in water droplets. The electrical signal of the TPDS decreases with an increase of puerarin concentration, and the sensitivity of the approach is 520 V·(μg/mL)<sup>−1</sup>. The TPDS represents a miniature and cost-effective sensor that is 0.2% of the size and 0.01% of the cost of a UV spectrophotometer. Our theoretical analysis verified that the puerarin concentration in droplets can effectively regulate the electronic structure, where higher concentrations of puerarin lead to a narrower energy bandgap, which allows the TPDS to detect puerarin concentration without the need for an external power supply. The TPDS therefore provides a route for the development of a portable and self-powered method to measure the concentration of an active ingredient in droplets through the conversion of natural energy.","PeriodicalId":48538,"journal":{"name":"Infomat","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142264967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, controllable synthesis of ultrasmall multielement alloy nanoparticles (us-MEA-NPs) supported on porous metal oxides with a homogeneous elemental distribution and good catalytic stability during long-term operation is extremely challenging due to their oxidation and strong immiscibility. As a proof of concept that such synthesis can be realized, this work presents a general “bottom-up” l ultrasonic-assisted, simultaneous electro-oxidation–reduction-precipitation strategy for alloying dissimilar elements into single NPs on a porous support. One characteristic of this technique is uniform mixing, which results from simultaneous rapid thermal decomposition and reduction and leads to multielement liquid droplet solidification without aggregation. This process was achieved through a synergistic combination of enhanced electrochemical and plasma-chemical phenomena at the metal–electrolyte interface (electron energy of 0.3–1.38 eV at a peak temperature of 3000 K reached within seconds at a rate of ~105 K per second) in an aqueous solution under an ultrasonic field (40 kHz). Illustrating the effectiveness of this approach, the CuAgNiFeCoRuMn@MgO-P3000 catalyst exhibited exceptional catalytic efficiency in selective hydrogenation of nitro compounds, with over 99% chemoselectivity and nearly 100% conversion within 60 s and no decrease in catalytic activity even after 40 cycles (>98% conversion in 120 s). Our results provide an effective, transferable method for rationally designing supported MEA-NP catalysts at the atomic level and pave the way for a wide variety of catalytic reactions.","PeriodicalId":48538,"journal":{"name":"Infomat","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This system demonstrates remarkable capability to produce high-quality images in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) band, surpassing the capabilities of devices based on alternative material systems.
