Elaborate engineering of emitting wavelength of green down‐converter in the spectral range of ≈525–535 nm with narrow full‐width at half‐maximum (fwhm < 25 nm) is an essential prerequisite for faithfully reproducing colors in the quantum dot (QD)‐based backlit display. Herein, different from the previous complex synthesis for green films, FAPbBr3 perovskite QDs films are fabricated by a dual‐additive assisted in situ growth strategy. Both C6H5CH2CH2NH3+ and 1,4,7,10,13,16‐hexaoxacyclooctadecane additives are introduced to synergistically tune green emitting (≈525–535 nm) with the narrowest fwhm down to 21 nm and the highest photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) up to 99%. Improved nanocomposite film with excellent long‐term stability is used to construct a prototype liquid crystal display (LCD) with a wide color gamut (118% National Television System Committee and 88% Recommendation BT 2020), a high saturation, and a remarkable color rendition. The performance is superior to that of the commercial white‐LED‐based LCD, showing a great potential of the present green film for high‐definition display application in the future.

The flexible photodetector plays an important role in improving human medical health status. However, the narrow spectral detection range, poor stress stability, and non‐degradation of traditional flexible photodetectors greatly hinder the further development of wearable medical devices. In this paper, a novel flexible infrared photodetector is proposed for intelligent healthcare monitoring using high purity lead sulfide (PbS) nanoparticles on paper‐based flexible substrate synthesized by hydrothermal method and physical friction. The excellent performance of the detector is attributed to the 1.01 eV band gap and six‐arm stellate dendritic structure of PdS, a good combination between PbS and paper substrate via physical friction. As a result, our photodetector demonstrates wide‐spectrum detection capabilities from 365 to 1550 nm. The photodetector at 980 nm (50.4 μW cm−2) shows responsivity of 6.45 mA W−1, detectivity of 6.4 × 1010 Jones, response recovery time of 0.36 s/0.41 s, with good mechanical stability. By comparison, our detector has a wider detection range, better weak signal detection performance, and shorter response time than the performance of the former paper‐based detector. Furthermore, the paper‐based PbS photodetector as a dual‐wavelength photoplethysmography sensor is applied to analyze the oxygen saturation and develop an intelligent bandage to monitor wound healing. This paper‐based PbS photodetector has tremendous potential in the field of wearable medical devices and intelligent medical applications are expected.

In this paper, a novel multimode waveguide implemented on a silicon‐on‐insulator (SOI) platform that supports several transverse (TE)/transverse magnetic (TM) modes across a broad range of wavelengths is experimentally demonstrated. The fully etched metamaterial design combines a gradient curvature bend with trapezoidal subwavelength grating segments and tapered concentric bridging strips. The simulations showed successful propagation of up to nine modes (5 TE and 4 TM) on the 340 nm SOI platform, with excess losses below 2.4 dB, and intermodal cross‐talk of less than −15.7 dB. Experimentally, a compact multimode bend with a radius of 10 µm on a 220 nm SOI platform is demonstrated that successfully supports four TE modes, with average signal‐to‐cross‐talk extinction ratio levels of 14.4 dB or better, across a wavelength band of 1500–1600 nm. This versatile multimode waveguide bend can be employed as a fundamental building block for densely integrated photonic circuits and mode multiplexing systems.

A light converter system with high light sensitivity that could sense the near‐infrared (NIR) signal is one of the prerequisites for the whole Internet of Things (IoT) field. Here, a NIR to visible light converter (NVLC) which could emit visible light according to external NIR is reported. The NVLC is an integration of an inverted perovskite quantum dot light emitting diodes and a hybrid lead sulfide quantum dots/graphene transistor. The latter acts as a photodetector to convert NIR signals into electrical signals, and the former emits visible light with an intensity controlled by the electrical signals. The luminous intensity of the device, which emits green light with a peak of 520 nm, is positively correlated with the intensity of the NIR. Further, the micron‐scale NVLCs are integrated into a matrix device that could sense NIR image and display it into visible light image. The NVLC with sensing, converting NIR to visible light is believed to have various promising applications in the IoT field.

Direct ink writing is a facile method that enables biological, structural, and functional materials to be printed in three dimensions (3D). To date, this extrusion‐based method has primarily been used to soft materials in a layer‐wise manner on planar substrates. However, many emerging applications would benefit from the ability to conformally print materials of varying composition on substrates with arbitrary topography. Here, a high throughput platform based on multimaterial multinozzle adaptive 3D printing (MMA‐3DP) that provides independent control of nozzle height and seamless switching between inks is reported. To demonstrate the MMA‐3DP platform, conformally pattern viscoelastic inks composed of triblock copolymer, gelatin, and photopolymerizable polyacrylate materials onto complex substrates of varying topography, including those with surface defects that mimic skin abrasions or deep gouges. This platform opens new avenues for rapidly patterning soft materials for structural, functional, and biomedical applications.

Flexible transparent conductors (TCs) are the fundamental components for emerging soft optoelectronics because of their excellent optical, electrical, and mechanical properties. These properties are attributed to reasonable alignment of conductive functional nanomaterials, especially 1D inorganic nanowires. Although various patterning technologies are proposed, patterning highly transparent conductors with satisfactory conductivity and flexibility in a facile, scalable, and versatile manner remains an open issue. Here, a directed self‐assembly strategy is presented for patterning silver nanowires (AgNWs) into flexible TCs with a cross‐linked network structure using microflow velocity‐field‐induced alignment at a liquid–solid interface. Under dual‐surface architectonics, the periodically varying internal microflow in the overcoated AgNW suspension facilitates the spontaneous alignment of the AgNWs on the designated regions in a layer‐by‐layer manner, yielding highly ordered AgNW TCs with an ultrahigh transmittance (98.2%), low sheet resistance (29.7 Ω sq−1), and prominent mechanical deformability. The proposed strategy is further applied to fabricate high‐accuracy arbitrary AgNW circuits to realize flexible transparent heaters with adjustable localized heat sources. This is a universal and customizable method for producing functional nanomaterials with hardly any scale or shape limitations in a streamlined fashion and provides great freedom for prototyping and manufacturing high‐performance soft optoelectronics.

AlGaN‐based deep ultraviolet light‐emitting diodes (UV LEDs) have gained rapidly growing attention due to their wide applications in water purification, air disinfection, and sensing as well as optical communication. Moreover, deep UV radiation has been verified as one of effective way to inactivate COVID‐19. However, although numerous efforts have been made in deep UV LED chips, the reported highest external quantum efficiency (EQE) of them is 20.3%, which is far lower than that of visible LEDs. The EQE of commercial packaged AlGaN‐based deep UV LEDs is usually lower than 5%, which will cause serious reliability problems as well. Therefore, it is very urgent to improve EQE and reliability of the devices from packaging level. In this review, a systematical summarization about the packaging technologies of AlGaN‐based deep UV LEDs has been analyzed and future prospects have been made as well. Firstly, this work provides a brief overview of the devices and analyzes why the packaging level reduces EQE and reliability in theory. Then, systematically reviews the recent advances in packaging technologies and deep UV micro‐LEDs. Finally, conclusions and outlooks are given as well. This review is of great significance for promoting the development of the packaging technologies for AlGaN‐based deep UV LEDs.

Inflammatory biomarkers are modulated during the course of any infectious disease, and currently, there is no wearable technology that enables patient management through noninvasive monitoring of these markers. This work is the first demonstration of the discovery and quantification of interferon‐inducible protein (IP‐10) and tumor necrosis factor‐related apoptosis‐inducing ligand (TRAIL), two key prognostic markers of infection in human sweat. The levels of IP‐10 and TRAIL in sweat are quantified, validated, and confirmed using a standard reference method through preclinical human subject studies. Additionally, simultaneous and continuous detection of IP‐10, TRAIL, and C‐reactive protein (CRP), for infection monitoring in sweat using a wearable SWEATSENSER device is demonstrated. The SWEATSENSER is ultrasensitive with a limit of detection of 1 pg mL−1 (IP‐10 and TRAIL), 0.2 ng mL−1 (CRP) with a wide dynamic range. Bland–Altman analysis demonstrates good agreement between SWEATSENSER and standard reference methods through human subject studies. Serum to sweat relationship demonstrates the potential of the SWEATSENSER to track infection etiology.

Thermoelectric generators (TEG) serve as excellent passive wearable sensors for monitoring human body heat. However, a micro‐TEG (μTEG) with chip‐level size, rapid response, and high and stable responsivity is desired for real‐time and full‐time respiration monitoring to predict and diagnose breath‐related diseases. In this study, a thin‐film compact μTEG is elaborately designed by combining an ultrathin vertical structure for rapid heat conduction and a horizontal high‐integration density for transient response and a high filling rate. The device integrated with 28‐pair micro thermoelectric (TE) legs is fabricated on an aluminum nitride (AlN) substrate, which is patterned using ultrafast laser direct writing with embedded bottom contacts and TE legs. This unique design of the proposed μTEG provides a rapid response of 8 ms and chip‐level size of 1.9 mm × 2.7 mm × 400 μm for easy wearability. Additionally, application scenarios of real‐time respiration monitoring are demonstrated by mounting the μTEG under the nostril and near the mouth. The recorded airflow signals are displayed precisely with distinct features separating the nose and mouth breathing. Thus, the study presents a subtle and wearable respiration sensor for real‐time and full‐time human physiological signal acquisition.
热电发电机(TEG)是监测人体热量的优秀被动可穿戴传感器。然而，微TEG (μTEG)具有芯片级大小、快速响应、高且稳定的响应性，用于实时和全天候呼吸监测，以预测和诊断呼吸相关疾病。在这项研究中，我们精心设计了一种薄膜致密体μTEG，它结合了超薄的垂直结构以实现快速热传导和水平高积分密度以实现瞬态响应和高填充率。集成了28对微热电(TE)支腿的器件是在氮化铝(AlN)衬底上制造的，该衬底使用嵌入底部触点和TE支腿的超快激光直接写入进行图图化。这种独特的μTEG设计提供了8 ms的快速响应和1.9 mm × 2.7 mm × 400 μm的芯片级尺寸，易于磨损。此外，通过将μTEG安装在鼻孔下方和口腔附近，演示了实时呼吸监测的应用场景。记录的气流信号精确显示，具有区分口鼻呼吸的明显特征。因此，该研究提出了一种精细的可穿戴呼吸传感器，用于实时和全天候的人体生理信号采集。
{"title":"Wearable Respiration Sensor for Continuous Healthcare Monitoring Using a Micro‐Thermoelectric Generator with Rapid Response Time and Chip‐Level Design","authors":"Yuedong Yu, Wei Zhu, Jie Zhou, Zhanpeng Guo, Yutong Liu, Yuan Deng","doi":"10.1002/admt.202101416","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/admt.202101416","url":null,"abstract":"Thermoelectric generators (TEG) serve as excellent passive wearable sensors for monitoring human body heat. However, a micro‐TEG (μTEG) with chip‐level size, rapid response, and high and stable responsivity is desired for real‐time and full‐time respiration monitoring to predict and diagnose breath‐related diseases. In this study, a thin‐film compact μTEG is elaborately designed by combining an ultrathin vertical structure for rapid heat conduction and a horizontal high‐integration density for transient response and a high filling rate. The device integrated with 28‐pair micro thermoelectric (TE) legs is fabricated on an aluminum nitride (AlN) substrate, which is patterned using ultrafast laser direct writing with embedded bottom contacts and TE legs. This unique design of the proposed μTEG provides a rapid response of 8 ms and chip‐level size of 1.9 mm × 2.7 mm × 400 μm for easy wearability. Additionally, application scenarios of real‐time respiration monitoring are demonstrated by mounting the μTEG under the nostril and near the mouth. The recorded airflow signals are displayed precisely with distinct features separating the nose and mouth breathing. Thus, the study presents a subtle and wearable respiration sensor for real‐time and full‐time human physiological signal acquisition.","PeriodicalId":7200,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials & Technologies","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82346265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
