Their applications in optoelectronic devices can be further expanded by combining them to form heterostructures. We characterized a WTe2–2D Te heterostructure through local probing of the photocurrent with respect to the magnitude, phase, and position. Photocurrent generation within the device is divided into distinct regions: photo-thermoelectric effects occur solely at the 2D Te–Au junction area, PV-dominant effects at the 2D–WTe2 interface, and thermoelectric-to-photovoltaic crossover effects at the WTe2–2D Te overlap area. These different photocurrents cannot be fused into a single domain because each area is governed by different generation mechanisms, which depend on the location of the device. The power dependence of each photocurrent type also varies within the device. Our results indicate that careful material selection and device structure design, based on the electronic, optical, and thermal properties of the channel materials, are essential to avoid forming different optoelectronic puddles that could counteract each other within a single device.","PeriodicalId":93,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Horizons","volume":" 6","pages":" 1215-1223"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143951454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the frequency range of 2 THz to 3 THz, we propose a substrate-free ultra-thin all-dielectric terahertz metamaterial (UATM) composed of a silicon (Si) dual-ellipse array and silicon dioxide (SiO2) supporting layer with thicknesses of 5 μm and 2 μm, respectively. The UATM exhibits quasi-bound state in the continuum (quasi-BIC) modes related to the tilt angle and period parameters. Moreover, due to the strong electromagnetic field near the interfaces and large interaction area, the UATM exhibits a high refractive index sensitivity exceeding 1.00 THz per RIU. Furthermore, at oblique incident angles ranging from 0° to 25°, the resonant quality factor (Q-factor) of the UATM remains higher than 100, and the sensitivities to the incident angle are 22.53 and 26.17 GHz per degree with a linear range of 0.498 THz and 0.438 THz, respectively.

In this work, these advantageous properties are further enhanced by hybridizing NiTe2–FeTe2 (NFT) hollow nanorods with reduced graphene oxide (RGO), resulting in an NFT@RGO composite suitable for supercapacitor applications. The hollow rod-like structure promotes efficient ion diffusion and maximizes the exposure of electroactive sites, while the RGO network boosts conductivity and mitigates nanomaterial agglomeration, thus preserving structural integrity and prolonging material durability. The NFT@RGO-based electrode exhibits a notable capacity of 1388.5 C g−1 at 1 A g−1, with 93.82% capacity retention after 10 000 cycles. This remarkable performance arises from the synergistic contributions of the Ni and Fe metals, the electrically conductive Te element, the RGO framework, and the unique hollow morphology of the nanorods. Furthermore, a hybrid device employing activated carbon (AC) as the negative electrode (NFT@RGO//AC) achieves an energy density of 61.11 W h kg−1 and retains 89.85% of its capacity over 10 000 cycles, underscoring the promise of NFT@RGO for next-generation supercapacitors.

The detailed structural tests demonstrate that the improved HER activity is attributed to Co doping and the high 1T phase content. Co doping induces transformation from the 2H to the 1T phase (67%), and further TMA+ addition increases the doping amount and the 1T phase content (79%). The excellent durability is due to the strong interface binding between MoS2 nanosheets and CC associated with the heterogeneous nucleation and growth and the high growth temperature (230 °C).

Bionics, involving the application of nature-inspired designs in medical apparatus, has emerged as a highly promising approach in this field.

Harnessing these insights, this study presents a helical polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) scaffold inspired by the deformability of vines. This scaffold not only integrates Janus wettability hydrogel properties to enhance tissue interaction, ensuring increased comfort and adaptability during clinical procedures, but also incorporates sensors for real-time monitoring and feedback, thereby overcoming the limitations of conventional gynecological devices that often lack such capabilities. We meticulously detail the fabrication of this helical finger scaffold, using a sandwich thermoplastic method to produce hydrogel fibers possessing shape memory, thermal responsiveness, and deformation sensing via relative resistance changes. Additionally, the study explores finger motion monitoring through surface electromyography (sEMG) signals, which advances the precision and safety of cervical palpation and related surgeries.

In this work, inspired by a three-dimensional (3D) structure design, stable 3D reduced graphene oxide with heteroatom-site coordinated carbon centers (3DNSrGO) is fabricated, which features uniform and abundant nickel sulfide (NiS) particles within the empty spaces, along with sufficient access to the liquid electrolyte, thereby enabling more efficient transfer of sodium ions.

The issue of short cycle life is significantly mitigated at the cell configuration level (inclusion of the polypropylene membrane) by lowering the risks of Na–metal corrosion and protecting the GF membrane.
