Optoelectronic memories have gained remarkable attention owing to their inherent capability of manipulating charge carriers under the influence of both electrical and light stimuli. The emerging optoelectronic neuromorphic devices can be used in diverse applications, including logical data processing, confidential information recording, and next-generation bionic visual systems. Photosensitive materials are foundational to many technologies, including solar cells, sensors, thin-film transistors, and light-emitting diodes. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) photosensitive materials have found application in bionic visual hardware based on optoelectronic synaptic memristor and memtransistor devices. The synthesis and growth of optoelectronic memories driven by 2D photosensitive materials have opened new horizons in the field of bionic visual systems due to their diverse optical properties, atomic scalability, and ultrafast charge carrier dynamics. This review highlights the recent developments in bionic visual hardware based on optoelectronic synaptic memristive devices and memtransistors, wherein various 2D photosensitive materials and device structures have been utilised. We first summarise the limitations of traditional computing, highlight the key advantages of this novel computing paradigm, and discuss the fundamentals of bio-vision formation. Next, we comprehensively review the various device structures and operating mechanisms of optoelectronic memristive and memtransistor architectures. The recent developments in optoelectronic synaptic devices by incorporating various 2D photosensitive materials and their application in the field of bionic visual perception are also discussed. Finally, we outline the current drawbacks and challenges of optoelectronic neuromorphic devices and the future perspective of bionic visual hardware on real system realisation.

Organic solar cells (OSCs) are promising candidates for flexible, printable, low-cost and environmental-friendly photovoltaic devices. Driven by the development of Y-series non-fullerene acceptors (e.g., Y6 and its derivatives), the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of OSCs have improved significantly over the past few years, now exceeding 20 % in single-junction cells. However, current high-efficiency OSCs tend to suffer from performance degradation upon prolonged exposure to solar irradiation and thermal stress, placing a limit on their operation stability and lifetime. In particular, thermodynamic instability of the bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) blend morphology in high-efficiency OSCs is a key factor that limits device operational stability. Here we review the physics underlying thermodynamic stability of BHJ blend morphology, and summarize various molecular and thin-film engineering strategies that have been developed recently to improve the stability of efficient OSCs based on Y-series acceptors. Future directions toward the development of efficient and stable OSCs that can meet the requirements for commercial products are discussed.
有机太阳能电池(OSCs)是柔性、可打印、低成本和环境友好型光伏器件的有前途的候选者。在y系列非富勒烯受体(如Y6及其衍生物)发展的推动下,OSCs的功率转换效率(pce)在过去几年中有了显着提高,目前在单结电池中超过20% %。然而,目前的高效OSCs在长时间暴露于太阳辐射和热应力下容易出现性能下降,从而限制了其运行稳定性和使用寿命。特别是,高效OSCs中体积异质结(BHJ)共混形态的热力学不稳定性是限制器件运行稳定性的关键因素。本文回顾了BHJ共混物形态热力学稳定性的物理基础,并总结了最近开发的各种分子和薄膜工程策略,以提高基于y系列受体的高效osc的稳定性。讨论了未来发展高效、稳定、满足商用产品要求的OSCs的方向。

Lithium batteries (LBs) are pivotal for meeting the escalating global need for high-performance energy storage devices. Despite their critical role in electrode and solid electrolyte fabrication, binders remain under-investigated compared to active materials, creating a significant knowledge-to-application gap. This review summarizes recent developments in binder design, focusing on their structure-property relationships. It starts with elucidating the operation and failure mechanisms of binders, underscoring their crucial roles and ideal properties in practical applications. Building on this foundation, it further elucidates molecular design strategies to impart multifunctionality to binders, including adhesion, mechanical properties, ionic/electronic conductivity, self-healing capabilities, interfacial stabilization and other functional attributes. Also, industrial application challenges and scale-up considerations for advanced binders are critically evaluated across three key aspects: ultra-thick electrodes, ultra-thin electrolytes and sustainability requirements, filling the gap between molecular design and practical applications of binders. This review outlines pathways for future development of functional binders, with the aim of providing new insights into the design of binders for next-generation high-energy-density LBs.
锂电池(LBs)是满足全球对高性能储能设备日益增长的需求的关键。尽管粘合剂在电极和固体电解质制造中起着至关重要的作用,但与活性材料相比,粘合剂仍未得到充分研究,这造成了从知识到应用的重大差距。本文综述了粘结剂设计的最新进展,重点介绍了它们的结构-性能关系。首先阐述了粘结剂的作用和失效机理,强调了其在实际应用中的重要作用和理想性能。在此基础上,进一步阐明了赋予粘合剂多功能性的分子设计策略,包括附着力、机械性能、离子/电子导电性、自修复能力、界面稳定性和其他功能属性。此外,我们还从三个关键方面对先进粘合剂的工业应用挑战和扩展考虑进行了严格评估:超厚电极、超薄电解质和可持续性要求,填补了粘合剂分子设计和实际应用之间的空白。本文概述了功能结合物的未来发展途径,旨在为下一代高能量密度lb的结合物设计提供新的见解。

Additive-free thermally evaporated tin halide perovskite transistors 无添加剂热蒸发卤化锡钙钛矿晶体管

Tin halide perovskites have emerged as promising p-type semiconductors owing to their low effective mass and high defect tolerance. While early development of perovskite thin-film transistors (TFTs) was achieved by solution processing, their reliance on solvents and poor compatibility with high-resolution patterning hindered large-scale integration. By contrast, thermal evaporation offers a solvent-free approach with precise control over the thickness and composition, making it well-suited for scalable and industry-relevant fabrication. Herein, we report the development of additive-free, thermally evaporated FASnI3 TFTs and systematically investigate how the deposition method and precursor stoichiometry affect the crystallization behavior and device characteristics. Co-deposition enabled complete precursor conversion and (n00, n = 1,2,3)-oriented crystallization, achieving high mobility of ∼14 cm2 V−1 s−1, while sequential deposition leads to residual SnI2, (111)-oriented crystallization, and relatively low mobility of ∼2 cm2 V−1 s−1. Notably, these thermally evaporated films enable reliable switching behavior without requiring hole suppressors, owing to the intrinsic control over the carrier concentration. These findings underscore the importance of optimizing the deposition strategy and precursor stoichiometry to achieve high-performance tin halide perovskite TFTs and facilitate their integration into large-area electronic systems.
卤化锡钙钛矿具有有效质量低、缺陷容错能力强等优点,是一种很有前途的p型半导体材料。虽然钙钛矿薄膜晶体管(TFTs)的早期发展是通过溶液处理实现的,但它们对溶剂的依赖以及与高分辨率图形的兼容性差阻碍了大规模集成。相比之下,热蒸发提供了一种无溶剂的方法,可以精确控制厚度和成分,使其非常适合可扩展和工业相关的制造。在此,我们报道了无添加剂、热蒸发的FASnI3 tft的发展,并系统地研究了沉积方法和前驱物化学计量对结晶行为和器件特性的影响。共沉积实现了前驱体的完全转化和(n00, n = 1,2,3)定向结晶,实现了~ 14 cm2 V−1 s−1的高迁移率,而顺序沉积导致了残余的SnI2、(111)定向结晶和相对较低的迁移率~ 2 cm2 V−1 s−1。值得注意的是,由于对载流子浓度的内在控制,这些热蒸发薄膜能够实现可靠的开关行为,而不需要空穴抑制。这些发现强调了优化沉积策略和前驱体化学计量的重要性,以实现高性能卤化锡钙钛矿tft,并促进其集成到大面积电子系统中。

Soil heavy metal pollution poses severe threats to ecosystems and human health. Existing remediation methods suffer from high energy costs and secondary pollution. Here, we developed a wind-driven soft-contact triboelectric nanogenerator (SC-TENG) with a ternary electrode structure to power electrokinetic remediation, achieving efficient energy harvesting from natural wind. The SC-TENG converted 65 µA AC into 10 mA pulsed DC via an energy management circuit, increasing the electric field strength. Within seven days, the system achieved 10.45 % Pb²⁺ and 27.05 % Cd²⁺ removal efficiencies. Remediated soil exhibited 100 % pea seed germination and 42.1 % faster seedling growth compared to untreated soil. This work pioneers self-powered electrokinetic remediation using pulsed DC fields generated entirely from wind energy, offering a sustainable and scalable solution for soil decontamination.
土壤重金属污染对生态系统和人类健康构成严重威胁。现有的修复方法存在能源成本高、二次污染等问题。在这里,我们开发了一种风力驱动的软接触摩擦纳米发电机(SC-TENG),它具有三元电极结构,为电动修复提供动力,实现了从自然风中高效收集能量。SC-TENG通过能量管理电路将65 µA的交流电转换为10 mA的脉冲直流电,增加了电场强度。在7天内,系统实现了10.45 % Pb 2 +和27.05 % Cd 2 +的去除效率。与未处理土壤相比,修复土壤豌豆种子发芽率为100% %,幼苗生长速度为42.1 %。这项工作开创了利用完全由风能产生的脉冲直流电场进行自供电电动修复的先河,为土壤净化提供了一种可持续的、可扩展的解决方案。

The rapid advancement of fifth-generation (5 G) technologies has spurred an urgent demand for advanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials that combine high shielding effectiveness, low reflection, high mechanical robustness, and excellent thermal conductivity. However, achieving all these properties in a single material remains highly challenging, as the excessive functional fillers required to enhance EMI shielding and thermal conductivity often compromise mechanical integrity. Inspired by the comb-like microstructure of butterfly wing scales, renowned for their vivid structural coloration, excellent thermal conductivity, and mechanical properties, we designed and fabricated a gradient multilayered composite scaffold featuring oriented graphite microplatelets and a gradually varying content of nanoscale zero-valent iron across layers, using the developed magnetic-assisted multi-material 3D printing system. The resulting scaffold demonstrates exceptional EMI shielding performance with a high shielding effectiveness of 65 dB and a low reflectance of 0.26, outperforming many conventional materials in mitigating secondary electromagnetic pollution. Importantly, in addition to excellent thermal conductivity, the scaffold also exhibits outstanding mechanical robustness with a compressive strength of 98.1 MPa and a toughness of 587.4 J/m3, outperforming many reported EMI shielding materials. This 3D printed bioinspired scaffold successfully addresses the longstanding trade-off between functional performance and mechanical integrity, offering a novel strategy for developing high-performance EMI shielding materials with great application value in 5 G base station modules, data center servers, and aerospace electronics.
第五代(5 G)技术的快速发展刺激了对先进电磁干扰(EMI)屏蔽材料的迫切需求,这些材料结合了高屏蔽效率、低反射、高机械鲁棒性和优异的导热性。然而,在单一材料中实现所有这些特性仍然是极具挑战性的,因为增强EMI屏蔽和导热性所需的过多功能性填料通常会损害机械完整性。受蝴蝶翅膀鳞片的梳子状微观结构的启发,以其生动的结构色彩,优异的导热性和机械性能而闻名,我们利用开发的磁辅助多材料3D打印系统,设计并制造了一种梯度多层复合支架,其特征是定向石墨微血小板和层间逐渐变化的纳米级零价铁含量。由此产生的支架具有出色的EMI屏蔽性能,屏蔽效率高达65 dB,反射率低至0.26,在减轻二次电磁污染方面优于许多传统材料。重要的是,除了优异的导热性外,该支架还具有出色的机械稳健性,抗压强度为98.1 MPa,韧性为587.4 J/m3,优于许多报道的电磁干扰屏蔽材料。这种3D打印的仿生支架成功地解决了功能性能和机械完整性之间的长期权衡,为开发高性能EMI屏蔽材料提供了一种新策略,在5 G基站模块、数据中心服务器和航空航天电子产品中具有巨大的应用价值。

The incorporation of oxygen-containing functional groups (OFGs) into hard carbon (HC) has emerged as a key strategy to enhance its performance for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). OFGs such as hydroxy, carbonyl, carboxy, and epoxy groups can effectively modulate the microstructure, surface characteristics, and electrochemical properties of HC. Nevertheless, the regulatory role of certain OFGs remains the subject of controversy, and there is a paucity of systematic summaries of their modulating mechanisms, which hinders efforts to regulate the microstructure of hard carbon. This review begins with the introduction of role of OFGs in the graphitization process, pore structure formation, defect configuration, and solid electrolyte interface regulation (SEI) with an emphasis on the relationship between the microstructure and the sodium storage performances of HC anodes. Discussion is then made on various origins and strategies to modulate OFGs, including the selection of precursor, pre- and post-treatment, and carbonization process. Finally, this review highlights the significance of OFGs in HC anodes and outlines the associated challenges and opportunities for future development.
在硬碳(HC)中加入含氧官能团(OFGs)已成为提高其钠离子电池(sib)性能的关键策略。羟基、羰基、羧基和环氧基等OFGs可以有效地调节HC的微观结构、表面特征和电化学性能。然而,某些OFGs的调节作用仍然存在争议,并且缺乏对其调节机制的系统总结,这阻碍了对硬碳微观结构的调节。本文首先介绍了OFGs在石墨化过程、孔隙结构形成、缺陷形态和固体电解质界面调节(SEI)中的作用,重点介绍了HC阳极的微观结构与储钠性能之间的关系。然后讨论了各种来源和调制OFGs的策略,包括前驱体的选择、预处理和后处理以及碳化过程。最后,本综述强调了ofg在HC阳极中的重要性,并概述了未来发展的相关挑战和机遇。

This review explores the fundamental principles behind SRP design, their response mechanisms, and cutting-edge fabrication strategies, highlighting their growing impact across multiple disciplines. In biomedicine, SRPs are advancing site-specific drug release, injectable scaffolds for regenerative therapies, and real-time biosensing, contributing to the evolution of personalized medicine. In environmental science, they play a crucial role in water purification, heavy metal adsorption, and biodegradable materials, offering innovative solutions to pressing sustainability challenges. Unlike previous reviews, this work emphasizes the latest breakthroughs in modular synthesis, hybrid nanostructuring, and 4D printing with a particular focus on the advances achieved over the past decade, while addressing key challenges such as scalability, stability, and cost-effectiveness. By integrating molecular engineering with green chemistry and state-of-the-art fabrication techniques, this review provides a forward-looking perspective on the future of SRPs in medicine, industry, and environmental sustainability. As research continues to advance, SRPs are set to redefine next-generation solutions for healthcare, ecological preservation, and smart material applications.

Currently, environmental protection, energy conservation, and health are globally significant issues that have garnered widespread attention. In the pursuit of sustainable and environmentally friendly development, biomass-based porous materials (BPMs) have demonstrated revolutionary potential for thermal insulation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in BPMs for thermal insulation. Initially, the heat transfer mechanisms in BPMs, including solid conduction, gas conduction, and radiation, are discussed. Then, key factors influencing the insulation performance of BPMs, including microstructure, the intrinsic properties of their components, thermal stability, and application environments, are summarized to guide material selection and structural design. BPMs are then classified dimensionally (i.e., 1D, 2D, and 3D), with a detailed analysis of fabrication methodologies, raw material sources (e.g., proteins, cellulose, chitosan, alginate, and lignin), and performance characteristics. Applications of BPMs in emerging thermal insulation domains, including personal thermal management, building, electronic devices, oil and gas industry, aerospace industry, and vehicles industry, are comprehensively summarized. Finally, the inherent superiority of BPMs in terms of biodegradability and recyclability is highlighted, underscoring their superiority to petroleum-based counterparts. This review is expected to stimulate further research and development of BPMs in thermal insulation applications, accelerating advancements in both fundamental studies and industrial commercialization.

β–phase hydroxide-steered inner-hosted metal sites for exceptional hydrogen production β相氢氧化物导向内载金属位点,用于特殊的氢气生产

High-density metal single-atom catalysts (M–SACs) tend to aggregate during synthesis and electrocatalytic processes. To prevent this aggregation, it is essential to develop ultra-low-density M–SACs that exhibit high catalytic activity and stability, which is highly challenging. Additionally, M–SACs maximize the utilization of the active sites and thus increase the atomic efficiency for electrocatalysis. Here, we present the β–phase and α–phase hydroxide-functionalized metals [β–Ni(OH)2 and α–Co(OH)2] as sacrificial templates to produce various M–SACs (M = Pt, Ir, Pd, and Ru) embedded in porous nitrogen-bonded carbon sheets, where the metal hydroxides interact strongly with dicyandiamide–metal complexes, effectively preventing the aggregation of isolated metal atoms. The β–Ni(OH)2-driven platinum variant catalyst (Pt−0.38 wt%:β–PtSAs/S800; Pt−0.54 wt%:β–PtSAs/S850) demonstrates zero-onset potential, ultra-low overpotential (15 mV at 10 mA cm−2), exceptional stability over 10 days of operation, and unprecedented turnover frequencies of 3.68/3.38 H2 s−1/Pt-site, which are 78/72 times higher than that of 20 wt%Pt/C (0.047 H2 s−1/Pt-site) for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Notably, β–PtSAs/S850-based proton-exchange-membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) achieves a current density of 3.0 A cm−2 at a low voltage of 1.75 Vcell@80 ℃ [exceeding the Department of Energy 2026 target], along with stable operation for over 200 h at a current density of 1.0 A cm−2. Experimental observation and theoretical calculations indicate that the inner-hosted PtN2 moieties remain intact within the graphitic sheets due to their lower formation energy under acidic conditions, effectively reducing the overall HER energy barriers and showcasing the true active sites responsible for the remarkable catalytic activity.
高密度金属单原子催化剂(M-SACs)在合成和电催化过程中容易聚集。为了防止这种聚集,必须开发具有高催化活性和稳定性的超低密度M-SACs,这是一项极具挑战性的工作。此外,M-SACs最大限度地利用了活性位点,从而提高了电催化的原子效率。在这里,我们提出了β -相和α -相氢氧化物功能化金属[β-Ni (OH)2和α-Co (OH)2]作为牺牲模板,在多孔氮键碳片上嵌入各种M - sacs (M = Pt, Ir, Pd和Ru),其中金属氢氧化物与双胺二胺金属配合物强烈相互作用,有效地阻止了孤立金属原子的聚集。β-Ni (OH)2驱动的铂变体催化剂(Pt - 0.38 wt%: β-PtSAs /S800; Pt- 0.54 wt%: β-PtSAs /S850)表现出零电位、超低过电位(10 mA cm - 2时15 mV)、10天运行的优异稳定性,以及前所未有的3.68/3.38 H2 s - 1/Pt-site的换氢频率,比20 wt%Pt/C(0.047 H2 s - 1/Pt-site)高78/72倍。值得注意的是,基于β-PtSAs / s850的质子交换膜电解(PEMWE)在1.75 Vcell@80℃的低电压下实现了3.0 a cm - 2的电流密度[超过了美国能源部2026年的目标],并在1.0 a cm - 2的电流密度下稳定运行超过200 小时。实验观察和理论计算表明,在酸性条件下,内部承载的PtN2部分由于其较低的地层能量而在石墨薄片中保持完整,有效地降低了整体HER能垒,并显示出真正的活性位点,从而具有显著的催化活性。
