Despite the abundant structure of two-dimensional (2D) materials in superlubricity research, a comprehension of the underlying structure principles governing their performance remains elusive. This paper comprehensively investigated the interlayer sliding behavior of several representative 2D material homojunctions, and elucidated the influence mechanism of molecular structure on their superlubricating properties. The interlayer friction of 2D material homojunctions were experimentally investigated using an innovative technique based on the orientation and transfer of nanosheets. The simulated results not only validate the widely recognized mechanisms of maximum energy corrugation (Ec) for interlayer friction and maximum binding energy (Γb) for interlayer adhesion, but also propose an energy-based index, Ec/│Γb│, to track the experimental trend of friction coefficient (μ) in accordance with molecular friction theory. Furthermore, two interlayer friction mechanisms, potential barrier and potential well, are resolved and the intrinsic relationship between the structural form and mechanism manifestation is elucidated. The efficacy of hybridization in the structural design of superlubricating materials has been theoretically demonstrated, as experimentally evidenced by the exceptional performance exhibited by metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (μ: 5.5*10−4).

Diamond is, by virtue of the covalent bonding between atoms and the very strong carbon to carbon bonds, the hardest natural material. It has been a fascinating material since its discovery, first as a decorative gem and more recently, for its numerous industrial uses because of its extreme hardness, elastic modulus, and optical transparency. In recent years, it has become a preferred ablator for laser shock experiments, and this has led to its choice as the capsule material for fusion experiments at the National Ignition Facility. This review covers both experimental and computational (including machine learning) advancements in research on diamond subjected extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. The synergy between shock and ramp loading experiments and atomic level simulations is proving to be powerful in advancing our understanding of diamond under extremes.

Hydrogen generation by means of environmentally friendly approaches is of paramount importance in the field of contemporary science and technology. Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) represent a high-temperature trajectory of H2 production, offering highly efficient electrical-to-chemical energy conversion at 400–800 °C. SOECs exhibit numerous advantages over low-temperature electrolysis technologies, including a wide potential performance range, high conversion efficiency, excellent selectivity, and the ability to provide co-electrolysis of H2O and CO2, supporting hydrogen energy strategies and carbon emission reduction programs. However, SOECs suffer from unsatisfactory long-term stability, which is caused by a number of microstructurally, chemically, and electrically related factors. In order to address these issues, we present the current review article, which provides a detailed description of the chemical and electrochemical phenomena that occur in SOECs during their real operation, in relation to both internal factors (the composition of functional materials) and external aspects (gas compositions, temperature, and applied potential). An in-depth analysis of these interrelationships enables the rational selection of materials and optimization of SOEC operating conditions. Various strategies for the optimal functioning of fuel electrodes, such as doping, in-situ exsolution, and catalytic advancements, are explored. For oxygen electrodes, performance optimization strategies including the development of novel perovskite materials with tailored surface properties and the incorporation of mixed ionic-electronic conductors to facilitate enhanced oxygen ion transport and electrochemical activity, are comprehensively summarized. Moreover, a particular focus of this review is on the surface segregation behavior of perovskite electrodes, a critical aspect influencing SOEC performance and stability. Recent innovations in SOECs development aimed at mitigating surface segregation, such as doping strategies, surface treatments, and the development of novel perovskite compositions with enhanced stability, are discussed in detail for the first time. Consequently, this work is regarded as a valuable reference in the field of SOECs, particularly in relation to energy materials, degradation processes, solid state ionics, and electrochemistry. By employing these innovative strategies, the long-term stability and efficiency of SOECs can be significantly enhanced, making them more viable for large-scale hydrogen production and carbon reduction initiatives.
在当代科学技术领域，以环保方式制氢至关重要。固体氧化物电解池（SOECs）代表了高温制氢的发展方向，可在 400-800 °C 的温度下实现高效的电能到化学能的转换。与低温电解技术相比，固体氧化物电解池具有众多优势，包括潜在性能范围广、转换效率高、选择性好，以及能够实现 H2O 和 CO2 的共电解，从而支持氢能源战略和碳减排计划。然而，SOEC 的长期稳定性并不令人满意，这是由一系列微结构、化学和电气相关因素造成的。为了解决这些问题，我们撰写了这篇综述文章，详细描述了 SOEC 在实际运行过程中发生的化学和电化学现象，这些现象与内部因素（功能材料的组成）和外部因素（气体成分、温度和应用电位）都有关系。通过深入分析这些相互关系，可以合理选择材料并优化 SOEC 的运行条件。研究还探讨了优化燃料电极功能的各种策略，如掺杂、原位外溶解和催化进步。对于氧电极，全面总结了性能优化策略，包括开发具有定制表面特性的新型过氧化物材料，以及加入混合离子电子导体以促进增强氧离子传输和电化学活性。此外，本综述还特别关注了包晶石电极的表面偏析行为，这是影响 SOEC 性能和稳定性的一个关键方面。本文首次详细讨论了 SOECs 开发过程中旨在减轻表面偏析的最新创新成果，如掺杂策略、表面处理以及具有更高稳定性的新型包晶石成分的开发。因此，这部著作被视为 SOECs 领域的重要参考文献，特别是在能源材料、降解过程、固态离子学和电化学方面。通过采用这些创新策略，SOECs 的长期稳定性和效率可以得到显著提高，使其在大规模制氢和碳减排行动中更加可行。

Gallium monochalcogenides (GaX, where X represents Te, Se, or S) have attracted significant attention in the development of 2D semiconductor materials owing to their specific optical and electrical characteristics. Multilayered mixed GaX compounds, ternary alloys of gallium chalcogenides, are mostly direct semiconductors and are considered excellent candidates for wide energy-range light-emitting materials for application in future optoelectronic devices. This review provides a thorough investigation into ternary alloys of gallium monochalcogenides, focusing on the GaTe1−xSex, GaSe1−xSx, and GaTe1−xSx series of layered semiconductor compounds. We provide a comprehensive overview of the methods used to grow these materials, analyze their crystal structures, and characterize their properties. Various growth methods and conditions and their material yields are described. Structural characterization methods reveal detailed information on the composition-driven variations in crystal structure and phase. An optical property analysis reveals the remarkable tunability of their bandgaps and emission spectra, establishing their potential for optoelectronics applications. The light emission range of the GaTe1−xSex series is from near-infrared (NIR) to visible (620–780 nm), while the GaSe1−xSx series emits from the visible to the blue region (478–620 nm) achieving white light. The GaTe1−xSx exhibits the most extensive emission range, spanning from NIR to the blue region (478–780 nm). Furthermore, GaTe1−xSx exhibit high photocatalytic degradation activity for water splitting and organic pollutant degradation. Overall, this review highlights the promising prospects of ternary gallium chalcogenides for advancing future optoelectronics technologies.

The increasing demand for aqueous energy storage (AES) solutions with high energy density, enlarged voltage windows, and extended cycling stability has spurred the development of advanced electrolytes. Redox-active molecules hold the promise for formulating aqueous electrolytes with enhanced electrochemical performance. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of established and recently reported studies on redox electrolytes for AES devices. Delving into mechanisms at both molecular and micrometer scales, this review covers the fundamental principles governing the electrolytes, encompassing their physicochemical properties, ion solvation behavior, interfacial modulation, and transport mechanisms. We present an overview of the redox properties of various compounds from different families. While irreversible electron/mass transfer processes can facilitate the passivation of solid electrolyte interfaces, particular attention is given to the reversible redox electrolyte in enhancing the energy performance of AES systems. Redox-active molecules are categorized based on their ability to improve the cycling stability of electrodes, increase the voltage windows of electrolytes, and enhance the energy density of cells. High solubility and reversible redox behavior have been achieved via the molecular design. Trade-offs between the shuttling effect and electrolyte modification as well as controversies on molecular solubility are discussed. By examining these aspects, the review aims to stimulate advanced research in redox-active molecules for AES technologies.

Stretchable electronics made from intrinsically stretchable materials have garnered a great deal of attention for future human-friendly electronic applications due to their exceptional mechanical compatibility with soft tissues. However, intrinsically stretchable materials with homogeneous conductive networks often compromise electrical performance to achieve stretchability. By employing phase separation strategies that rationally separate conductive networks and stretchable matrix, the electrical performance of these electronics can be significantly improved without sacrificing stretchability. Meanwhile, phase separation can also be applied to produce diverse porous microstructures, endowing stretchable electronics with desirable functionalities, such as strain buffering, heightened ion transfer, air permeability, and passive cooling. In this article, we reviewed the recent advancements in stretchable electronics fabricated through phase separation strategies. After delving into the driving mechanisms behind various phase-separation strategies, we showcased representative examples to highlight the versatile functionalities of phase-separated structures in stretchable electronic components and devices. Furthermore, we discussed the current challenges and prospects of utilizing phase separation strategies for next-generation intrinsically stretchable electronics.

Meanwhile, phase separation can also be applied to produce diverse porous microstructures, endowing stretchable electronics with desirable functionalities, such as strain buffering, heightened ion transfer, air permeability, and passive cooling. In this article, we reviewed the recent advancements in stretchable electronics fabricated through phase separation strategies. After delving into the driving mechanisms behind various phase-separation strategies, we showcased representative examples to highlight the versatile functionalities of phase-separated structures in stretchable electronic components and devices. Furthermore, we discussed the current challenges and prospects of utilizing phase separation strategies for next-generation intrinsically stretchable electronics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":386,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Engineering: R: Reports","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 100863"},"PeriodicalIF":31.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142417833","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}

Organic ferroelectric crystalline polymer, P(VDF-TrFE) has attracted broad attentions due to its lead-free benefits and process convenience. However, it has a long-standing drawback, its process limit in crystalline film thickness, whose minimum is almost fixed as ∼100 nm. Hence, operation voltage of any P(VDF-TrFE)-based ferroelectric memory field-effect transistors (FeFETs) has always been over 10 V. Here, innovatively thinned ∼20 nm P(VDF-TrFE) crystalline layers are fabricated on Pt and Au gate, empowering FeFETs with two dimensional (2D) MoTe2 channel to operate under minimum 3 V pulse. Such thin crystalline layer is achieved through spin-coating after initial growth of 5 nm-thin crystalline seed layer, P(VDF-TrFE)-brush. This ultrathin P(VDF-TrFE)-brush effectively inhibits the de-wetting problem of P(VDF-TrFE)-solution during spin-coating, leading to good surface-energy matching and pinhole-free conformal coating of classical P(VDF-TrFE). As a result, 3–4 V pulse operations of p-MoTe2 nonvolatile memory FETs are nicely realized without leakage current loss. These numbers may be regarded as one of the lowest values in report.

Highly sensitive flexible force sensors enable precise detection of underwater signals for monitoring biological activity, environmental conditions, and vehicle movement. Multilayer stack assembly and micro/nano structure array are often seen in most force/pressure sensors which are toughly hard to control the interlayer spacing and micro/nano structures alignment precisely, resulting in poor consistency and stability. Herein, we first reported a new force sensor with a nature-inspired minimalistic architecture, addressing such issues in an elegant and surprising approach by using a single-layer arched functional membrane with one microgroove. Inspired by the scorpions’ slit sensilla and mantis’ campaniform sensilla, a highly sensitive and waterproof flexible force sensor was fabricated. It is demonstrated that the force sensor has a sensitivity of 27.6 N−1, a high force resolution (1 mN), a fast response time of 70 ms, excellent stability over 5000 cycles and linearity (0.996), and a small force detection limit (≤ 1 mN), showing great potential in underwater environment sensing and motion monitoring of vehicles. This novel but minimalistic architecture provides a new direction in the development of sensors with advanced performance.
