To meet the demand for miniaturisation in electronic devices, the development of absorptive films with adjustable thickness and uniform structure enables direct integration into microelectronic components, thereby addressing electromagnetic interference issues within constrained volumes. To address the limitation of single electromagnetic wave transmission pathways in few-layer MXene films. Three-dimensional interconnect films were fabricated using in situ NH₃ etching technology. The self-stacking phenomenon of MXene was suppressed by pre-deposited carbon dots (CDs), thereby exposing more active sites and enhancing the horizontal attenuation path for electromagnetic waves. During the annealing process, the decomposition of certain CDs releases NH₃ gas, which in situ etches MXene nanosheets. This forms large in-plane pores within the film, thereby constructing vertical electromagnetic wave transmission channels. Moreover, Fe₃O₄ nanospheres optimise impedance matching whilst incorporating a magnetic loss mechanism. Ultimately, the MXene/CDs/Fe₃O₄ (MCFs) film not only achieves a minimum reflection loss (RL_mᵢ_n) value of −51.05 dB at 13.2 GHz but also attains a maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EAB_max) value of 4.96 GHz, significantly outperforming pure MXene films. CST simulations indicate that at 13.2 GHz, the radar cross section (RCS) of the PEC plate covered with MCFs decreases by 24.91 dB m² under perpendicular incidence across an incidence angle range of −60° to +60°. This study offers novel insights into developing high-performance MXene-based absorber films by constructing bidirectional electromagnetic wave transmission pathways.

为了满足电子设备小型化的需求，具有可调厚度和均匀结构的吸收膜的发展可以直接集成到微电子元件中，从而在有限的体积内解决电磁干扰问题。为了解决在少层MXene薄膜中单一电磁波传输路径的局限性。采用原位NH3蚀刻技术制备三维互连膜。预沉积碳点（cd）抑制了MXene的自堆积现象，从而暴露出更多的活性位点，增强了电磁波的水平衰减路径。在退火过程中，某些CDs的分解释放出NH3气体，NH3气体在原位蚀刻MXene纳米片。这在薄膜内部形成了较大的面内孔隙，从而构建了垂直的电磁波传输通道。此外，Fe3O4纳米球在结合磁损耗机制的同时优化了阻抗匹配。最终，MXene/CDs/Fe3O4 （MCFs）薄膜不仅在13.2 GHz时实现了- 51.05 dB的最小反射损耗（RLm x_n）值，而且实现了4.96 GHz的最大有效吸收带宽（EABmax）值，明显优于纯MXene薄膜。CST仿真结果表明，在13.2 GHz垂直入射下，在- 60°~ +60°的入射角范围内，覆盖mcf的PEC板的雷达截面（RCS）减小了24.91 dB m2。该研究通过构建双向电磁波传输路径，为开发高性能mxeni基吸收膜提供了新的见解。

Molecular grafting of carbon aerogels, made from the polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde, was studied in order to enhance their specific capacitance in electrochemical capacitors. Grafting of redox entities, anthraquinone, was performed via aryl diazonium reduction. While aryl diazonium salt to carbon aerogel molar ratio does not seem to have an impact on the number of chemisorbed or physisorbed anthraquinone, increasing reaction time, even up to 24 h, leads to an increase of chemisorbed anthraquinone moieties. Physisorption of anthraquinone occurs at the initial stage of the modification and does not evolve with time or molar ratio. Interestingly, physisorbed and chemisorbed anthraquinone moieties are all electroactive and despite an inevitable decrease of the specific surface area, an important increase of the specific capacity of anthraquinone functionalized carbon aerogel up to 84 mAh.g⁻¹ is observed.

The importance of autonomous driving in modern transportation is steadily increasing, placing stricter demands on real-time decision-making efficiency. However, current systems rely on a memory–compute-separated (von Neumann) architecture, which introduces substantial decision latency and inevitably increases the overall computational load. Here we propose a lithium-ion-enhanced, graphene-oxide-based synaptic device for constructing a single-device reservoir computing system. Li⁺ incorporation induces reversible conversion between Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced GO (rGO), endowing the device with resistive-switching characteristics. The device exhibits a SET voltage of only 0.5 V, with a narrowly distributed switching threshold. Importantly, multiple short-term synaptic features (EPSC, PPF, STDP) and long-term plasticity (LTP/LTD) were demonstrated. The device supports sixteen distinguishable states (4-bit) and exhibits weight-update linearities of 0.20 and −0.22. Leveraging these properties, we implemented the reservoir and readout layers, forming an all-GO reservoir computing system. We directly applied the system to noise-robust handwritten-digit recognition and autonomous driving, and ported it to a general-purpose processor for hardware emulation. The system maintained a digit-recognition accuracy of 92.2 % even at a noise level of 40 % and achieved 98.33 % correct decisions in noise-perturbed autonomous-driving traffic scenarios; both results were experimentally validated. This work paves the way for deploying single-device type neuromorphic reservoir-computing systems in autonomous driving.

自动驾驶在现代交通中的重要性不断提升，对实时决策效率提出了更严格的要求。然而，当前的系统依赖于内存-计算分离（von Neumann）架构，这引入了大量的决策延迟，并不可避免地增加了总体计算负载。在这里，我们提出了一种基于锂离子增强的氧化石墨烯的突触装置，用于构建单器件储层计算系统。Li+掺入诱导氧化石墨烯（GO）和还原氧化石墨烯（rGO）之间的可逆转换，使器件具有电阻开关特性。该器件的SET电压仅为0.5 V，开关阈值分布窄。重要的是，多个短期突触特征（EPSC， PPF， STDP）和长期可塑性（LTP/LTD）被证实。该器件支持16种可区分的状态（4位），并具有0.20和- 0.22的权重更新线性。利用这些特性，我们实现了储层和读出层，形成了一个全go储层计算系统。我们直接将该系统应用于抗噪手写数字识别和自动驾驶，并将其移植到通用处理器上进行硬件仿真。即使在噪声水平为40%的情况下，该系统的数字识别准确率仍保持在92.2%，在噪声干扰的自动驾驶交通场景下，该系统的正确决策准确率达到98.33%；实验验证了这两个结果。这项工作为在自动驾驶中部署单设备型神经形态水库计算系统铺平了道路。

In the complex and harsh operating environments of critical moving components in aerospace, it is still a challenge for current lubricating coatings that survive in various environment. Herein, we prepared phosphate bonded lubricating coatings containing MoS₂/Cr₂O₃ composite nanoparticles, graphene and mullite whiskers, which performed well in various conditions (friction coefficient below 0.3), including wide temperature range (−120–500 °C), nitrogen, water vapor (30–90% RH), and salt spray (3.5 wt.% NaCl) environments. The lubricating phase and various fillers were filled into the reticulated crosslinked structure of the phosphate binder, which improved the bonding strength and hardness of the coating. Stable low friction was achieved by the aluminum phosphate amorphous passivation film formed on the friction interface and the synergetic layered lubrication of graphene and MoS₂. H⁺ and OH⁻ groups dissociated from water molecules reacted with the high-activity hanging bonds at graphene edges in humidity environment, maintaining its lubricating characteristic. At elevated temperature, the P–C bond formed by the reaction of P in phosphate binder with high-energy hanging covalent bonds at the graphene boundaries reduced intergranular adhesion and oxidation. The results provide an effective strategy for improving the environmental adaptability of solid lubricating coatings and expanding the application scope.

在航空航天关键运动部件复杂恶劣的工作环境中，现有的润滑涂层能否在各种环境中生存仍然是一个挑战。在此，我们制备了含有MoS2/Cr2O3复合纳米颗粒、石墨烯和莫来石晶须的磷酸盐键合润滑涂层，该涂层在各种条件下（摩擦系数低于0.3）均表现良好，包括宽温度范围（- 120-500°C）、氮气、水蒸气（30-90% RH）和盐雾（3.5 wt.% NaCl）环境。将润滑相和各种填料填充到磷酸盐粘结剂的网状交联结构中，提高了涂层的结合强度和硬度。在摩擦界面上形成磷酸铝非晶钝化膜，石墨烯和二硫化钼协同层状润滑，实现了稳定的低摩擦。在潮湿环境下，从水分子解离的H+和OH−基团与石墨烯边缘的高活性悬键发生反应，保持其润滑特性。在高温下，磷酸盐黏结剂中的P与石墨烯边界的高能悬垂共价键反应形成的P - c键减少了晶间粘附和氧化。研究结果为提高固体润滑涂层的环境适应性，扩大其应用范围提供了有效的策略。

Heteroatom doping, by synergistically regulating defect concentration, dielectric loss factors, and conductive behavior, enables precise tailoring of the electromagnetic response in carbon-based materials. In this study, lunar-like nitrogen (N), chlorine (Cl) co-doped porous carbon microspheres (N, Cl-PCMs) were fabricated via a hydrothermal–pyrolysis method using a self-synthesized N, Cl-containing compound as the dopant. By adjusting the doping level, controllable morphology and tunable electromagnetic responses were achieved. The heteroatoms create heterogeneous interfaces and defects that act as efficient polarization sites, thereby promoting polarization relaxation while optimizing the conductive network for improved conductive loss. Multiple attenuation mechanisms synergistically enable optimized impedance matching and efficient electromagnetic attenuation. The optimal N, Cl-PCMs-2 exhibits remarkable electromagnetic wave absorption (EMWA) performance, with a minimum reflection loss (RL_min) of −56.00 dB at 2.99 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) widened to 5.44 GHz at 2.22 mm. Radar cross-section (RCS) simulations further demonstrated a maximum reduction of 27.45 dB m² at 0°, confirming its promise for multiband electromagnetic stealth. This work provides new insight into the multiscale structure of biomass-derived carbons for green, high-performance electromagnetic absorption absorbers.

Poly(heptazine imide) (PHI), a crystalline carbon nitride featuring sub-nanometer ion channels, holds great promise for seawater splitting. However, its practical application is hindered by the sluggish kinetics of hydrogen evolution and the structural instability caused by alkali metal ion leaching. Herein, we report a strategy where the saline environment itself triggers a dynamic cation reconstruction of the PHI framework, coupled with in-situ photodeposited NiS nanoparticles. The optimized NiS/PHI heterostructure achieves a H₂ evolution rate of 0.789 mmol h⁻¹ under visible light, representing an 8-fold enhancement over melon-type carbon nitride, thereby achieving noble-metal-like performance. Crucially, mechanistic studies combining depth-profiled XPS and ICP-OES reveal a dynamic “self-healing” mechanism: high-concentration cations (e.g., K⁺/Na⁺) in the electrolyte suppress ion leaching and, more importantly, re-intercalate into the PHI framework. This reconstruction of the ionic sublattice optimizes the local coordination environment and modulates the internal electric field, thereby accelerating exciton dissociation, as evidenced by shortened fluorescence lifetimes and enhanced EPR signals. Furthermore, the NiS cocatalyst forms a robust electron-extracting interface, enabling stable H₂ production for over 60 h. This work unveils the critical role of dynamic host-guest interactions in ionic carbon nitrides and offers a new paradigm for designing seawater-tolerant photocatalysts.

聚七嗪亚胺（PHI）是一种具有亚纳米离子通道的晶体氮化碳，在海水分裂方面具有很大的前景。然而，析氢动力学缓慢和碱金属离子浸出引起的结构不稳定阻碍了其实际应用。在此，我们报告了一种策略，即盐水环境本身触发PHI框架的动态阳离子重建，再加上原位光沉积的NiS纳米颗粒。优化后的NiS/PHI异质结构在可见光下的析氢速率为0.789 mmol h−1，比瓜型氮化碳提高了8倍，从而获得了类似贵金属的性能。重要的是，结合深度分析XPS和ICP-OES的机理研究揭示了一种动态的“自我修复”机制：电解质中的高浓度阳离子（例如K+/Na+）抑制了离子浸出，更重要的是，重新插入到PHI框架中。离子亚晶格的重建优化了局部配位环境，调节了内部电场，从而加速了激子的解离，荧光寿命缩短，EPR信号增强。此外，NiS共催化剂形成了一个强大的电子提取界面，能够稳定地产生氢气超过60小时。这项工作揭示了离子碳氮化物中动态主客体相互作用的关键作用，并为设计耐海水光催化剂提供了新的范例。

With the proliferation of new-generation communication technologies, there is an urgent demand for multifunctional materials that combine efficient electromagnetic wave absorption with robust environmental durability. This study presents a novel nanoflower-like porous carbon composite composed of the Ni₃ZnC_0.7 phase and a porous carbon matrix, derived from a bimetallic metal-organic framework precursor, fabricated using melamine foam as a multifunctional sacrificial template. The synthesis achieves the integrated construction of a hierarchical nanoflower morphology, a core-shell microstructure, and a tailored chemical composition. As a result, the composite exhibits outstanding performance with a minimum reflection loss of −46.5 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 6.4 GHz at a low filler loading of 20 wt% and a thin matched thickness of 2 mm. This can be attributed to its synergistic loss mechanisms involving interface/dipolar polarization, magnetic and conductive loss, favorable impedance matching due to its unique structure and chemical composition. Furthermore, it demonstrates exceptional long-term corrosion resistance (≥360 h) in a NaCl solution due to the physical-chemical barrier effect afforded by the core-shell structure. This work provides a novel strategy for designing high-performance, corrosion-resistant electromagnetic wave absorbers for harsh environments.

随着新一代通信技术的发展，人们迫切需要将有效的电磁波吸收与强大的环境耐久性结合起来的多功能材料。本研究提出了一种新型的纳米花状多孔碳复合材料，由Ni3ZnC0.7相和多孔碳基体组成，来源于双金属金属-有机骨架前驱体，以三聚氰胺泡沫作为多功能牺牲模板制备。该合成实现了层叠纳米花形态、核壳结构和定制化学成分的集成构建。结果表明，该复合材料在低填充量为20% wt%、薄匹配厚度为2mm的情况下，具有- 46.5 dB的最小反射损耗和6.4 GHz的有效吸收带宽。这可归因于其协同损耗机制，包括界面/偶极极化，磁性和导电性损耗，由于其独特的结构和化学成分而具有良好的阻抗匹配。此外，由于核壳结构提供的物理化学屏障效应，它在NaCl溶液中表现出优异的长期耐腐蚀性（≥360 h）。这项工作为设计适用于恶劣环境的高性能、耐腐蚀电磁波吸收器提供了一种新的策略。

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess high thermal conductivity and mechanical flexibility, making them promising candidates for thermal interface materials (TIMs) for high-density heat-generating components requiring heat dissipation solutions. In this study, we fabricated a film-type CNT-TIM by sandwiching a thin polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) film between two opposing CNT forests. The transient thermal response, analyzed using the thermal structure function, revealed a low thermal resistance of 0.7 cm²K/W at a contact pressure of 100 kPa, including the interfacial contact thermal resistance with the heat source and heat sink. This performance is comparable to TIMs with CNTs grown directly on both sides of Cu or Al foils, and to conventional thermal grease. These results indicate that the thermal resistance of the contact interface is the dominant factor over the bulk material. The CNT-TIM with the PPS interlayer demonstrated a stable and robust solid-state TIM as a substitute for thermal grease. This research offers an effective manufacturing process to advance the practical application of CNT-based TIMs.

碳纳米管（CNTs）具有高导热性和机械灵活性，使其成为需要散热解决方案的高密度发热部件的热界面材料（TIMs）的有希望的候选者。在这项研究中，我们通过将一层薄薄的聚苯硫醚（PPS）薄膜夹在两个相对的碳纳米管林中来制备薄膜型碳纳米管tim。利用热结构函数分析瞬态热响应，发现在接触压力为100 kPa时，热阻较低，为0.7 cm2K/W，包括与热源和散热器的界面接触热阻。这种性能与直接在Cu或Al箔两侧生长碳纳米管的TIMs以及传统的导热润滑脂相当。这些结果表明，接触界面的热阻是块体材料的主要因素。具有PPS中间层的CNT-TIM证明了一种稳定而坚固的固态TIM作为导热脂的替代品。本研究为推进碳纳米管基TIMs的实际应用提供了一种有效的制造工艺。

As a rising new member of carbon allotropes, graphdiyne has shown great potential in various fields due to its fascinating properties. Herein, a controlled two-step hydrothermal route was employed to convert hydrogen-substituted γ-graphdiyne into two functional derivatives: graphdiyne oxides (OGDY) and graphdiyne oxide quantum dots (OGDYQD). Systematic characterization revealed distinct differences in morphology, chemical structure, and optical properties between precursors and derivatives. Especially, the existence of alkyne bonds was demonstrated through evidence from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), and selective oxidation experiments, which provides new insights for the characterization of graphdiyne materials. Moreover, we identified an oxidation-locking phenomenon governing selective alkyne oxidation at specific sites during synthesis. The oxidation-locking feature endowed significant application potential upon both derivatives: OGDY exhibited excellent photocatalytic ability in the degradation of cationic dyes, achieving efficiency ∼5–200 higher than those of other carbon-based materials; while OGDYQD could achieve ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of methyl orange with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.032 μM, as well as serve as an excellent catalyst, which was comparable to metal catalysts, for the hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol. This work provides fundamental insights into sp-carbon reactivity while delivering practical platforms for multiple applications.

石墨炔作为碳同素异形体中一个新兴的成员，以其独特的性能在各个领域显示出巨大的潜力。本文采用可控的两步法将氢取代的γ-石墨炔转化为两种功能衍生物：石墨炔氧化物（OGDY）和石墨炔氧化物量子点（OGDYQD）。系统表征表明前体和衍生物在形态、化学结构和光学性质上存在明显差异。特别是，通过傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）、光致发光光谱（PL）和选择性氧化实验证明了炔键的存在，为石墨炔材料的表征提供了新的见解。此外，我们还发现了一种氧化锁定现象，这种现象控制着合成过程中特定位点的选择性炔氧化。氧化锁定特性为这两种衍生物提供了巨大的应用潜力：OGDY在降解阳离子染料方面表现出优异的光催化能力，效率比其他碳基材料高出约5-200；OGDYQD可实现甲基橙的超灵敏电化学检测，检出限（LOD）低至0.032 μM，是4-硝基苯酚加氢反应的优良催化剂，可媲美金属催化剂。这项工作提供了sp-碳反应性的基本见解，同时为多种应用提供了实用的平台。
