Pseudocapacitive contributions to electrochemical kinetics in NiOx electrochromic anodes

Because of its ability to change optical absorption dynamically by applied electric field, nickel oxide (NiO) is a promising anodic material in smart windows, which can improve energy conversion efficiency in construction buildings. Although many works have achieved high electrochromic performance with different method. The underlying mechanism is still not fully investigated. In this article, we prepared the NiO films with large specific surface area and high stability by electron beam evaporation. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to figure out the surface morphology and composition of as-deposited films. Afterwards, the electrochemical properties and optical performance of the prepared NiO films were investigated. On this basis, the origin of surface charge was fully analyzed by cyclic voltammetry and diffusion coefficient test. These experimental and theoretical results firmly confirm that both the surface reaction and capacitive effect bring about the excellent EC performance in NiO films. These results not only provide clear evidence about electrochemical kinetics in NiO films, but also offer some useful guidelines for the design of EC materials with higher performance and longer stability.

Highly stretchable,ionic conductive and self-recoverable zwitterionic polyelectrolyte-based hydrogels by introducing multiple supramolecular sacrificial bonds in double network

Zwitterionic hydrogels have been explored for applications in electrochemical devices very recently due to their high water retention ability and interesting electrochemical properties. The use of zwitterionic hydrogels in devices requires them tough and recoverable or healable from fatigue damage. Herein, a double network zwitterionic hydrogel contains a reversible noncovalent interaction crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) first network, together with a covalent/noncovalent hybrid crosslinked acrylamide and sulfobetaine methacrylate copolymer (P(AM-co-SBMA)) second network, was fabricated by a simple two-steps methods of copolymerization and freezing/thawing. The reversible hydrogen bonds, crystalline domain, and electrostatic interactions in the double networks work as sacrificial bonds to dissipate energy and toughen the materials when hydrogel deforms. The broken bonds can reform upon unloading endowing the recovery of hydrogels' properties with the assistance of the elastic covalent network. The optimal hydrogels are highly stretchable (fracture strain 970%), tough (fracture toughness 693 kJ m⁻³), rapidly recoverable (65% toughness recovery and 75% stiffness recovery after resting 5 min at room temperature) and with widely tunable mechanical properties by multibond crosslinking. Meanwhile, the zwitterionic counterions of SBMA moieties endow the tough and recoverable hydrogels extremely high intrinsic ionic conductivities (7.49 S m⁻¹) at room temperature. This work not only provides a simple strategy for fabricating tough and recoverable zwitterionic hydrogels but also demonstrates multifunctional properties of the zwitterionic hydrogels, which possess a great potential to fulfill flexible devices applications. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Deep learning techniques for tumor segmentation: a review

Recently, deep learning, especially convolutional neural networks, has achieved the remarkable results in natural image classification and segmentation. At the same time, in the field of medical image segmentation, researchers use deep learning techniques for tasks such as tumor segmentation, cell segmentation, and organ segmentation. Automatic tumor segmentation plays an important role in radiotherapy and clinical practice and is the basis for the implementation of follow-up treatment programs. This paper reviews the tumor segmentation methods based on deep learning in recent years. We first introduce the common medical image types and the evaluation criteria of segmentation results in tumor segmentation. Then, we review the tumor segmentation methods based on deep learning from technique view and tumor view, respectively. The technique view reviews the researches from the architecture of the deep learning and the tumor view reviews from the type of tumors.
