Locally Welded Silver Nano‐Network Transparent Electrodes with High Operational Stability by a Simple Alcohol‐Based Chemical Approach

As an indispensable aspect of emerging flexible optoelectronics, flexible transparent electrodes, especially those comprised of metal nanowires, have attracted great attentions recently. Welding the nanowire junctions is an effective strategy for reducing the sheet resistance and improving the operational stability of flexible nanowire electrode in practical applications. Herein, a simple alcohol‐based solution approach is proposed to weld crossed silver nanowires by chemically growing silver “solder” at the junctions of the nanowires, forming transparent silver nano‐network electrodes with improved electrical conductivity and operational stability. Remarkably, silver nano‐networks can be rapidly formed by this simple approach under ambient condition and room temperature, requiring no assistance from heat, light, electrical current, or mechanical pressure. Furthermore, our results show that the nano‐network electrode formed from large diameter nanowires offers a better operational stability, whose trend is opposite to that of the untreated electrodes. To demonstrate the potential application of the highly stable silver nano‐network from large diameter nanowires, organic solar cells fabricated on the nano‐network electrode incorporated with silicon dioxide nanoparticles achieve comparable performance to the ITO control device. Consequently, strategy demonstrated in this work can contribute to low‐cost and highly stable transparent electrodes in emerging flexible optoelectronics.

Euryhaline Hydrogel with Constant Swelling and Salinity-Enhanced Mechanical Strength in a Wide Salinity Range

In nature, many biological organisms possess a unique osmoregulation feature that enables them to survive in environments of different salinity, which is called euryhaline characteristics (e.g., salmon that can survive in freshwater and seawater). Drawing inspiration from these salinity-tolerant organisms, here a strategy that integrates two polymer chain segments with different salinity tolerances is reported to produce a euryhaline hydrogel with stable water retention, constant swelling properties, superoleophobicity, and low-adhesion to oil in aqueous environments over a wide range of salinity. The formation of internal dynamic complementary crosslinks is a key structural factor of the euryhaline attributes. The euryhaline hydrogel-coated meshes can be successfully utilized in various oil/aqueous phase separation in a wide range of salinity. Furthermore, by creating a double network with dynamic bonds, superior euryhaline hydrogel with unique salinity-enhanced mechanical strength can be obtained. It is anticipated that the euryhaline hydrogel will have broad application prospects in complex and variable ionic environments.

Low-Cost Multi-Function Electrolyte Additive Enabling Highly Stable Interfacial Chemical Environment for Highly Reversible Aqueous Zinc Ion Batteries

The practicality of aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) for large-scale energy storage is hindered by challenges associated with zinc anodes. In this study, a low-cost and multi-function electrolyte additive, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), is presented to address these issues. CTAB adsorbs onto the zinc anode surface, regulating Zn²⁺ deposition orientation and inhibiting dendrite formation. It also modifies the solvation structure of Zn²⁺ to reduce water reactivity and minimize side reactions. Additionally, CTAB optimizes key physicochemical parameters of the electrolyte, enhancing the stability of the electrode/electrolyte interface and promoting reversibility in AZIBs. Theoretical simulations combined with operando synchrotron radiation-based in situ Fourier transform infrared spectra and in situ electrochemical impedance spectra further confirm the modified Zn²⁺ coordination environment and the adsorption effect of CTAB cations at the anode/electrolyte interface. As a result, the assembled Zn-MnO₂ battery demonstrates a remarkable specific capacity of 126.56 mAh g⁻¹ at a high current density of 4 A g⁻¹ after 1000 cycles. This work highlights the potential of CTAB as a promising solution for improving the performance and practicality of AZIBs for large-scale energy storage applications.     

The effect of IMU inaccuracies on airborne SAR imaging

When using motion compensation approaches based on the measurement of motion sensors, the residual uncompensated motion errors due to measurement instrument inaccuracies contribute to phase errors and hence degrade Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. This paper presents a model to compute the phase error caused by Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) measurement inaccuracies. By analyzing SAR motion compensation method and the effect of lever arm, this model derives the contribution of each term of IMU inaccuracies towards the residual uncompensated motion errors and provides a method to calculate each order of the residual phase error. According to the model, computed results of the airborne X-band SAR system with POS AV510 accord closely with the actual image quality.
