In order to overcome the toxicity of lead halide perovskites, in recent years the research has focused on replacing lead with more environmentally friendly metals like tin, germanium, bismuth or antimony. However, lead-free perovskites still present instability issues and low performances that do not make them competitive when compared to their lead-based counterparts. Here we report the synthesis of lead-free Cs2SnX6 (X = Br, I) nanostructures of different shapes by using various surface ligands. These compounds are a promising alternative to lead halide perovskites in which the replacement of divalent lead (Pb(II)) with tetravalent tin (Sn(IV)) causes a modification of the standard perovskite structure. We investigate the effects of different amines on the morphology and size of Cs2SnX6 (X = Br, I) nanocrystals, presenting a facile hot-infection method to directly synthesize three-dimensional (3D) nanoparticles as well as two-dimensional (2D) nanoplatelets. The amines not only modify the shape of the crystals, but also affect their optical properties: increasing the length of the amine carbon chain we observe a widening in the bandgap of the compounds and a blue-shift of their emission peak. Alongside the tuning of the chemical composition and the reduction of the crystal size, our study offers a new insight in controlling the physical properties of perovskite nanocrystals by means of the capping ligands, paving the way for future research on lead-free materials.
为了克服卤化铅钙钛矿的毒性,近年来的研究重点是用锡、锗、铋或锑等更环保的金属代替铅。然而,无铅钙钛矿仍然存在不稳定性问题和低性能,与铅基钙钛矿相比,这并不能使其具有竞争力。本文报道了利用各种表面配体合成不同形状的无铅Cs2SnX6(X=Br,I)纳米结构。这些化合物是卤化铅钙钛矿的有前途的替代品,其中用四价锡(Sn(IV))取代二价铅(Pb(II))会导致标准钙钛矿结构的改变。我们研究了不同胺对Cs2SnX6(X=Br,I)纳米晶体形态和尺寸的影响,提出了一种简单的热感染方法来直接合成三维(3D)纳米颗粒和二维(2D)纳米片。胺不仅改变了晶体的形状,还影响了它们的光学性质:随着胺碳链长度的增加,我们观察到化合物的带隙变宽,其发射峰发生蓝移。除了调整化学成分和减小晶体尺寸外,我们的研究还为通过封端配体控制钙钛矿纳米晶体的物理性质提供了新的见解,为未来无铅材料的研究铺平了道路。

Removal of motion artifacts is a critical challenge, especially in wearable electroencephalography (EEG) and photoplethysmography (PPG) devices that are exposed to daily movements. Recently, the significance of motion artifact removal techniques has increased since EEG-based brain–computer interfaces (BCI) and daily healthcare usage of wearable PPG devices were spotlighted. In this article, the development on EEG and PPG sensor systems is introduced. Then, understanding of motion artifact and its reduction methods implemented by hardware and/or software fashions are reviewed. Various electrode types, analog readout circuits, and signal processing techniques are studied for EEG motion artifact removal. In addition, recent in-ear EEG techniques with motion artifact reduction are also introduced. Furthermore, techniques compensating independent/dependent motion artifacts are presented for PPG.

Grand Challenges in Wearable Electronics 可穿戴电子产品面临的重大挑战

Wearable technology has deep roots in history, with eyeglasses and wrist and pocket watches being two of the most prolific technologies still being in use today. These technologies developed and evolved over the centuries. For example, watches started as decorative pieces based on an oscillating wheel and gear mechanism, later acquiring a primitive form of energy harvesting (selfwinding), progressing to electromechanical and then to fully electronic devices (McCrossen, 2013). Future watches may integrate sophisticated electronics, solar or thermal energy harvesting, carry a huge variety of functions beyond timekeeping and still be a decoration and a fashion statement. Eyeglasses is another vivid example, starting as assistive technology (Letocha and Dreyfus, 2002), also evolving to become a fashion accessory, frequently used by individuals who do not need vision correction. Eyeglasses are rapidly becoming a high-tech electronic device, with Google Glass, Alexa Frames, and the likes paving the way to everyday use of augmented reality. The long-term success of these two technologies is based on their utility, deep integration with daily activities, and social acceptance by the population (Degerli and Ozkan Yildirim, 2020). These examples are very valuable when we consider the challenges facing wearable electronics today. Future growth in wearable devices is tightly coupled with advances in semiconductor technology and electronics. Wearables integrate a power source, sensors, data processing and storage core, actuators and displays, and a communication interface, packaged in a small, lightweight device that is worn on the body or integrated with everyday wear items, such as clothing, footwear, or accessories. Such wearables exemplify the cutting edge of the electronics, demanding the highest performance for the least amount of power, in the least amount of space, and in a challenging operating environment. Here wearables may gain a valuable lesson from a recent success story– the emergence of the smartphone as a ubiquitous communication device. The demands of modern smartphones closely match those of wearable devices, albeit in a larger package. The driving force behind the innovation andminiaturization of smartphones is high acceptability and demand across different cultures, generations, and societies. Resonating with the success of watches and eyeglasses, smartphones have a great utility that is tightly integrated into our life. Wearables may just as well become the next success story if they find an application that is demanded by the masses and if the electronic technology can support the effortless integration of wearables into the daily routine. Looking into the electronic technologies that form the foundation of wearable devices, we can highlight several distinct areas:
可穿戴技术有着深厚的历史渊源,眼镜、手表和怀表是当今仍在使用的两种最丰富的技术。这些技术经过几个世纪的发展和演变。例如,手表最初是基于摆动轮和齿轮机构的装饰件,后来获得了一种原始形式的能量收集(自上弦),发展到机电设备,然后发展到全电子设备(McCrossen,2013)。未来的手表可能会集成复杂的电子产品、太阳能或热能收集,除了计时之外,还具有多种功能,仍然是一种装饰和时尚宣言。眼镜是另一个生动的例子,最初是辅助技术(Letocha和Dreyfus,2002),后来也发展成为一种时尚配饰,经常被不需要视力矫正的人使用。眼镜正在迅速成为一种高科技电子设备,谷歌眼镜、Alexa Frames等为增强现实的日常使用铺平了道路。这两种技术的长期成功是基于它们的实用性、与日常活动的深度融合以及人们的社会接受度(Degerli和Ozkan Yildirim,2020)。当我们考虑到当今可穿戴电子产品面临的挑战时,这些例子非常有价值。可穿戴设备的未来增长与半导体技术和电子技术的进步紧密相连。可穿戴设备集成了电源、传感器、数据处理和存储核心、执行器和显示器以及通信接口,封装在一个小巧轻便的设备中,可穿戴在身上或与日常穿着物品(如衣服、鞋子或配件)集成。这样的可穿戴设备体现了电子产品的前沿,要求在具有挑战性的操作环境中以最小的功率、最小的空间获得最高的性能。在这方面,可穿戴设备可能会从最近的一个成功案例中获得宝贵的教训——智能手机作为一种无处不在的通信设备的出现。现代智能手机的需求与可穿戴设备的需求非常匹配,尽管包装更大。智能手机创新和小型化背后的驱动力是不同文化、不同世代和不同社会的高度可接受性和需求。与手表和眼镜的成功相呼应,智能手机具有强大的实用性,与我们的生活紧密结合。如果可穿戴设备找到了大众需求的应用程序,如果电子技术能够支持可穿戴设备轻松融入日常生活,那么可穿戴设备也可能成为下一个成功案例。纵观构成可穿戴设备基础的电子技术,我们可以强调几个不同的领域:

In this paper, we present the first organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices fabricated with FeCl3 intercalated few layer graphene (i-FLG) electrodes. i-FLG electrodes were first fabricated and characterized by electrical and spectroscopic means, showing enhanced conductive properties compared to pristine graphene. These electrodes were then used in the fabrication of OPV devices and tested against devices made with commercially available Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) electrodes. Both types of device achieved similar efficiencies, while the i-FLG based device exhibited superior charge transport properties due to the increase in work function characterizing i-FLG. Both types of device underwent a stability study using both periodic and continuous illumination measurements, which revealed i-FLG based OPVs to be significantly more stable than those based on ITO. These improvements are expected to translate to increased device lifetimes and a greater total energy payback from i-FLG based photovoltaic devices. These results highlight the potential benefits of using intercalated graphene materials as an alternative to ITO in photovoltaic devices.
在本文中,我们提出了第一个用FeCl3嵌入少层石墨烯(i-FLG)电极制造的有机光伏(OPV)器件。首先制备了i-FLG电极,并通过电学和光谱手段对其进行了表征,与原始石墨烯相比,其导电性能有所提高。然后将这些电极用于OPV器件的制造,并与市售的氧化铟锡(ITO)电极制成的器件进行测试。两种类型的器件都获得了相似的效率,而基于i-FLG的器件由于i-FLG的功函数增加而表现出优越的电荷输运特性。两种类型的器件都进行了稳定性研究,使用周期性和连续照明测量,结果表明基于i-FLG的opv比基于ITO的opv更稳定。这些改进有望转化为延长器件寿命,并从基于i-FLG的光伏器件中获得更高的总能源回报。这些结果强调了在光伏器件中使用插层石墨烯材料作为ITO替代品的潜在好处。

In the multi-energy supply microgrid, different types of energy can be scheduled from a “global” view, which can improve the energy utilization efficiency. In addition, hydrogen storage system performs as the long-term storage is considered, which can promote more renewable energy installed in the local consumer side. However, when there are large numbers of grid-connected multi-energy microgrids, the scheduling of these multiple microgrids in real-time is a problem. Because different types of devices, three types of energy, and three types of utility grid networks are considered, which make the dispatching problem difficult. In this paper, a two-stage coordinated algorithm is adopted to operate the microgrids: day-ahead scheduling and real-time dispatching. In order to reduce the time taken to solve the scheduling problem, and improve the scheduling performance, approximate dynamic programming (ADP) is used in real-time operation. Different types of value function approximations (VFA), i.e., linear function, nonlinear function, and neural network are compared to study about the influence of the VFA on the decision results. Offline and online processes are developed to study the impact of the historical data on the regression of VFA. The results show that the neural network based ADP one-step decision algorithm has almost the same performance as the Global optimization algorithm, and the highest performance among all others Local optimization algorithms. The total operation cost relative error is less than 3%, while the running time is only 31% of the Global algorithm. In the neural network based ADP, the key technology is continuously updating the training dataset online, and adopting an appropriate neural network structure, which can at last improve the scheduling performance.
在多能源供应微电网中,可以从“全局”的角度对不同类型的能源进行调度,从而提高能源利用效率。此外,考虑到长期储存,储氢系统可以促进更多的可再生能源安装在当地消费者端。然而,当并网的多能微电网数量众多时,这些多能微电网的实时调度问题就成为一个问题。由于考虑了不同类型的设备、三种类型的能源和三种类型的电网,使得调度问题变得困难。本文采用日前调度和实时调度两阶段协同算法对微电网进行运行。为了减少求解调度问题所需的时间,提高调度性能,在实时运行中采用近似动态规划(ADP)。比较了不同类型的值函数逼近(VFA),即线性函数、非线性函数和神经网络,研究了VFA对决策结果的影响。开发了离线和在线过程来研究历史数据对VFA回归的影响。结果表明,基于神经网络的ADP一步决策算法具有与全局优化算法基本相同的性能,且在所有局部优化算法中性能最高。总运行成本相对误差小于3%,运行时间仅为Global算法的31%。在基于神经网络的ADP中,关键技术是在线不断更新训练数据集,并采用合适的神经网络结构,最终提高调度性能。

Flexible Electronics: Status, Challenges and Opportunities 柔性电子:现状、挑战和机遇

The concept of flexible electronics has been around for several decades. In principle, anything thin or very long can become flexible. While cables and wiring are the prime example for flexibility, it was not until the space race that silicon wafers used for solar cells in satellites were thinned to increase their power per weight ratio, thus allowing a certain degree of warping. This concept permitted the first flexible solar cells in the 1960s (Crabb and Treble, 1967). The development of conductive polymers (Shirakawa et al., 1977), organic semiconductors, and amorphous silicon (Chittick et al., 1969; Okaniwa et al., 1983) in the following decades meant huge strides toward flexibility and processability, and thus these materials became the base for electronic devices in applications that require bending, rolling, folding, and stretching, among other properties that cannot be fulfilled by conventional electronics (Cheng and Wagner, 2009) (Figure 1). Presently there is great interest in new materials and fabrication techniques which allow for highperformance scalable electronic devices to be manufactured directly onto flexible substrates. This interest has also extended to not only flexibility but also properties like stretchability and healability which can be achieved by utilizing elastomeric substrates with strong molecular interactions (Oh et al., 2016; Kang et al., 2018). Likewise, biocompatibility and biodegradability has been achieved through polymers that do not cause adverse effect to the body and can be broken down into smaller constituent pieces after utilization (Bettinger and Bao, 2010; Irimia-Vladu et al., 2010; Liu H. et al., 2019). This new progress is now enabling devices which can conform to complex and dynamic surfaces, such as those found in biological systems and bioinspired soft robotics. These next-generation flexible electronics open up a wide range of exciting new applications such as flexible lighting and display technologies for consumer electronics, architecture, and textiles, wearables with sensors that help monitor our health and habits, implantable electronics for improved medical imaging and diagnostics, as well as extending the functionality of robots and unmanned aircraft through lightweight and conformable energy harvesting devices and sensors. While conventional electronics are very capable of these functions, flexible electronics are intended to expand the mechanical features to adhere to novel form factors through hybrid strategies, or as standalone solutions where the application does not require high computation power, intended to be highly robust to deformation, low cost, thin, or disposable. The definition of flexibility differs from application to application. From bending and rolling for easier handling of large area photovoltaics, to conforming onto irregular shapes, folding, twisting, stretching, and deforming required for devices in electronic skin, all while maintaining device performance and reliab
柔性电子的概念已经存在了几十年。原则上,任何细长的东西都可以变得灵活。虽然电缆和布线是灵活性的主要例子,但直到太空竞赛,卫星中用于太阳能电池的硅片才被减薄,以提高其功率重量比,从而允许一定程度的翘曲。这一概念在20世纪60年代允许了第一个柔性太阳能电池(Crabb和Treble,1967)。在接下来的几十年里,导电聚合物(Shirakawa et al.,1977)、有机半导体和非晶硅(Chittick et al.,1969;Okaniwa et al.,1983)的发展意味着在灵活性和可加工性方面取得了巨大进步,因此这些材料成为电子设备在需要弯曲、滚动、折叠和拉伸的应用中的基础,以及传统电子学无法实现的其他特性(Cheng和Wagner,2009)(图1)。目前,人们对新材料和制造技术非常感兴趣,这些新材料和技术允许直接在柔性基板上制造高性能可扩展电子器件。这种兴趣不仅延伸到柔韧性,还延伸到可拉伸性和可愈合性等特性,这些特性可以通过利用具有强分子相互作用的弹性体基质来实现(Oh等人,2016;Kang等人,2018)。同样,生物相容性和生物降解性是通过聚合物实现的,这些聚合物不会对身体造成不利影响,并且在使用后可以分解成更小的组成部分(Bettinger和Bao,2010;Irimia Vladu等人,2010;刘H.等人,2019)。这一新进展现在使设备能够适应复杂和动态的表面,例如在生物系统和仿生软机器人中发现的设备。这些下一代柔性电子产品开辟了一系列令人兴奋的新应用,如用于消费电子产品、建筑和纺织品的柔性照明和显示技术,带传感器的可穿戴设备有助于监测我们的健康和习惯,用于改进医疗成像和诊断的植入式电子产品,以及通过重量轻、适应性强的能量采集设备和传感器扩展机器人和无人驾驶飞机的功能。虽然传统的电子器件非常能够实现这些功能,但柔性电子器件旨在通过混合策略扩展机械特征,以符合新的形状因子,或者作为独立的解决方案,其中应用程序不需要高计算能力,旨在对变形具有高鲁棒性、低成本、薄或一次性。灵活性的定义因应用而异。从弯曲和滚动更容易处理大面积光伏,到适应电子皮肤中设备所需的不规则形状、折叠、扭曲、拉伸和变形,同时保持设备性能和可靠性。虽然已经取得了早期进展和许多重要创新,但在柔性电子领域成为我们日常生活的一部分之前,它还面临着许多挑战。这为科学研究和发展提供了一个巨大的机会,可以迅速而显著地推进这一领域(图2)。本文从材料、制造和具体应用等方面阐述了下一代柔性器件的现状、关键挑战和机遇。编辑和审核:Jhonathan Prieto Rojas,沙特阿拉伯法赫德国王石油矿产大学

In principle, anything thin or very long can become flexible. While cables and wiring are the prime example for flexibility, it was not until the space race that silicon wafers used for solar cells in satellites were thinned to increase their power per weight ratio, thus allowing a certain degree of warping. This concept permitted the first flexible solar cells in the 1960s (Crabb and Treble, 1967). The development of conductive polymers (Shirakawa et al., 1977), organic semiconductors, and amorphous silicon (Chittick et al., 1969; Okaniwa et al., 1983) in the following decades meant huge strides toward flexibility and processability, and thus these materials became the base for electronic devices in applications that require bending, rolling, folding, and stretching, among other properties that cannot be fulfilled by conventional electronics (Cheng and Wagner, 2009) (Figure 1). Presently there is great interest in new materials and fabrication techniques which allow for highperformance scalable electronic devices to be manufactured directly onto flexible substrates. This interest has also extended to not only flexibility but also properties like stretchability and healability which can be achieved by utilizing elastomeric substrates with strong molecular interactions (Oh et al., 2016; Kang et al., 2018). Likewise, biocompatibility and biodegradability has been achieved through polymers that do not cause adverse effect to the body and can be broken down into smaller constituent pieces after utilization (Bettinger and Bao, 2010; Irimia-Vladu et al., 2010; Liu H. et al., 2019). This new progress is now enabling devices which can conform to complex and dynamic surfaces, such as those found in biological systems and bioinspired soft robotics. These next-generation flexible electronics open up a wide range of exciting new applications such as flexible lighting and display technologies for consumer electronics, architecture, and textiles, wearables with sensors that help monitor our health and habits, implantable electronics for improved medical imaging and diagnostics, as well as extending the functionality of robots and unmanned aircraft through lightweight and conformable energy harvesting devices and sensors. While conventional electronics are very capable of these functions, flexible electronics are intended to expand the mechanical features to adhere to novel form factors through hybrid strategies, or as standalone solutions where the application does not require high computation power, intended to be highly robust to deformation, low cost, thin, or disposable. The definition of flexibility differs from application to application.

In 1638, the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei designed one of the first experiments attempting to measure the speed of light (Foschi and Leone, 2009). Although the test was not conclusive, it reinforced the hypothesis that light could have a finite speed. The speed limit was one of the key steps toward understanding the elusive nature of light and the complex phenomena that surrounds lightmatter interaction. Much later, it was demonstrated that when light (and any electromagnetic radiation in general) interacts with matter, it might induce a flow of electrons. Symmetrically, a flow of electrons within matter might generate electromagnetic radiation. We call optoelectronics “the study and the application of the phenomena, materials, and devices involved with the interaction between electrons within a material or a device and the absorption or emission of electromagnetic radiation from the same” (Koch, 2014). Optoelectronic is essential in modern life, and it will become increasingly more important in future because technological development is relying more and more on the diffusion of devices that source, detect, and control electromagnetic radiation. X-ray, ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light optoelectronics are the most relevant. They are involved in a large number of applications in many relevant fields of technological development, including but not limited to Energy, Medicine, Architecture, Communication, Robotics, Transport, Security, and Entertainment. Below we report some examples of applications representative of the fields listed above (Figure 1).
1638年,意大利天文学家伽利略设计了第一批试图测量光速的实验之一(Foschi和Leone,2009)。尽管这项测试并不是决定性的,但它强化了光可能具有有限速度的假设。限速是理解光难以捉摸的本质和围绕光与物质相互作用的复杂现象的关键步骤之一。很久以后,人们证明,当光(以及任何电磁辐射)与物质相互作用时,它可能会引发电子流。对称地说,物质中的电子流可能会产生电磁辐射。我们将光电子称为“研究和应用与材料或设备内电子之间的相互作用以及从材料或设备吸收或发射电磁辐射有关的现象、材料和设备”(Koch,2014)。光电子在现代生活中至关重要,而且在未来它将变得越来越重要,因为技术发展越来越依赖于电磁辐射源、检测和控制设备的扩散。X射线、紫外线、可见光和红外光光电子是最相关的。他们参与了许多相关技术发展领域的大量应用,包括但不限于能源、医学、建筑、通信、机器人、交通、安全和娱乐。下面我们报告了一些代表上面列出的领域的应用程序示例(图1)。

Electronic textile (e-textile) systems applied to biological signal monitoring are of great interest to the healthcare industry, given the potential to provide continuous and long-term monitoring of healthy individuals and patients. Most developments in e-textiles have focused on novel materials and systems without systematic considerations into how the hierarchical structure of fibrous assemblies may influence performance and compatibility of the materials during use. This study examines mechanisms underlying the stability and quality of textile-based electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes used in a smart bra. Signal quality of the biometric data obtained affects feedback and user experience and may be influenced by characteristics and properties of the material. Under stationary and dynamic conditions, analysis of the raw ECG signal and heart rate, with respect to textile-electrode material properties have been performed. Currently, there is no standardized procedure to compare the ECG signal between electrode materials. In this study, several methods have been applied to compare differences between silver-based textile electrodes and silver/silver-chloride gel electrodes. The comparison methods serve to complement visual observations of the ECG signal acquired, as possible quantitative means to differentiate electrode materials and their performance. From the results obtained, signal quality, and heart rate (HR) detection were found to improve with increased skin contact, and textile structures with lower stretch and surface resistance, especially under dynamic/movement test conditions. It was found that the performance of the textile electrode materials compared exceeded ECG signal quality thresholds previously established for acceptable signal quality, specifically for the kurtosis (K > 5), and Pearson correlation coefficients (r ≥ 0.66) taken from average ECG waveforms calculated.
应用于生物信号监测的电子纺织(e-textile)系统对医疗保健行业非常感兴趣,因为它有可能为健康个体和患者提供持续和长期的监测。电子纺织品的大多数发展都集中在新材料和系统上,而没有系统地考虑纤维组件的分层结构在使用过程中如何影响材料的性能和兼容性。本研究探讨了智能胸罩中使用的基于纺织品的心电图电极的稳定性和质量的机制。所获得的生物识别数据的信号质量影响反馈和用户体验,并且可能受到材料的特性和性质的影响。在静态和动态条件下,分析了原始心电信号和心率与纺织电极材料性能的关系。目前,还没有标准化的方法来比较不同电极材料之间的心电信号。在这项研究中,采用了几种方法来比较银基纺织电极和银/氯化银凝胶电极之间的差异。对比方法是对获得的心电信号的视觉观察的补充,作为区分电极材料及其性能的定量手段。从所获得的结果来看,信号质量和心率(HR)检测发现随着皮肤接触的增加而改善,纺织品结构的拉伸和表面阻力降低,特别是在动态/运动测试条件下。结果发现,所比较的纺织电极材料的性能超过了先前为可接受的信号质量建立的心电信号质量阈值,特别是峰度(K bbb50)和Pearson相关系数(r≥0.66)从平均心电波形计算得出。
