Enhanced Performance of a Self‐Powered Organic/Inorganic Photodetector by Pyro‐Phototronic and Piezo‐Phototronic Effects

Self‐powered photodetectors (PDs) have long been realized by utilizing photovoltaic effect and their performances can be effectively enhanced by introducing the piezo‐phototronic effect. Recently, a novel pyro‐phototronic effect is invented as an alternative approach for performance enhancement of self‐powered PDs. Here, a self‐powered organic/inorganic PD is demonstrated and the influences of externally applied strain on the pyro‐phototronic and the photovoltaic effects are thoroughly investigated. Under 325 nm 2.30 mW cm^‐2 UV illumination and at a ‐0.45% compressive strain, the PD's photocurrent is dramatically enhanced from ≈14.5 to ≈103 nA by combining the pyro‐phototronic and piezo‐phototronic effects together, showing a significant improvement of over 600%. Theoretical simulations have been carried out via the finite element method to propose the underlying working mechanism. Moreover, the pyro‐phototronic effect can be introduced by applying a ‐0.45% compressive strain to greatly enhance the PD's response to 442 nm illumination, including photocurrent, rise time, and fall time. This work provides in‐depth understandings about the pyro‐phototronic and the piezo‐phototronic effects on the performances of self‐powered PD to light sources with different wavelengths and indicates huge potential of these two effects in optoelectronic devices.     

硅烷改性纳米TiO2-Zn-Al/水性环氧涂层的防腐性能

为实现纳米TiO₂颗粒的均匀分散,首先对纳米TiO₂进行硅烷改性,再通过溶液共混法制备出不同纳米TiO₂添加量的硅烷改性纳米TiO₂-Zn-Al/水性环氧复合涂层。研究了纳米TiO₂与Zn-Al片层粉在涂层中的综合作用。利用XRD和FTIR分析涂层的物相组成和组织结构,SEM和EDS表征涂层表面的微观形貌和元素组成,采用极化曲线和电化学阻抗谱（EIS）研究涂层的耐腐蚀性能。EDS和FTIR表明,经改性的纳米TiO₂均匀分散于涂层中,纳米TiO₂与环氧树脂的枝联作用使涂层更加致密。EIS结果显示,由于Zn-Al片层粉与纳米TiO₂的枝联和填充作用,使添加纳米TiO₂的硅烷改性纳米TiO₂-Zn-Al/水性环氧涂层腐蚀行为较未添加纳米TiO₂时有所减缓。当纳米TiO₂添加量增加到4wt%时,硅烷改性纳米TiO₂-Zn-Al/水性环氧涂层的腐蚀电流密度为9.86×10^-6 A/cm²,比未添加纳米TiO₂的涂层高一个量级。     

Piezo‐Phototronic Effect on Selective Electron or Hole Transport through Depletion Region of Vis–NIR Broadband Photodiode

Silicon underpins nearly all microelectronics today and will continue to do so for some decades to come. However, for silicon photonics, the indirect band gap of silicon and lack of adjustability severely limit its use in applications such as broadband photodiodes. Here, a high‐performance p‐Si/n‐ZnO broadband photodiode working in a wide wavelength range from visible to near‐infrared light with high sensitivity, fast response, and good stability is reported. The absorption of near‐infrared wavelength light is significantly enhanced due to the nanostructured/textured top surface. The general performance of the broadband photodiodes can be further improved by the piezo‐phototronic effect. The enhancement of responsivity can reach a maximum of 78% to 442 nm illumination, the linearity and saturation limit to 1060 nm light are also significantly increased by applying external strains. The photodiode is illuminated with different wavelength lights to selectively choose the photogenerated charge carriers (either electrons or holes) passing through the depletion region, to investigate the piezo‐phototronic effect on electron or hole transport separately for the first time. This is essential for studying the basic principles in order to develop a full understanding about piezotronics and it also enables the development of the better performance of optoelectronics.     

分散相对高分子合金增韧及脆/韧转变的影响

发生脆／韧转变的合金材料,其刚性体分散相ＣＰＰ在基质形成的静水应力的作用下沿拉抻方向发生了塑性形变。分散相无论是刚性体还是弹性体,在基质形成的静水压应力的作用下均可通过形变吸收能量使合金材料增韧;同时分散相也可作为应力集中剂引发基质产生银纹和屈服剪切带,使合金材料增韧,脆／韧转变过程提前,当分散相模量较时,后一种作用为主。随着分散相模量的增加,前一种作用的影响逐渐增加,并最终转变成为主导作用。

Glioblastoma Extracellular Vesicle-Specific Peptides Inhibit EV-Induced Neuronal Cytotoxicity

WHO Grade 4 IDH-wild type astrocytoma (GBM) is the deadliest brain tumor with a poor prognosis. Meningioma (MMA) is a more common “benign” central nervous system tumor but with significant recurrence rates. There is an urgent need for brain tumor biomarkers for early diagnosis and effective treatment options. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny membrane-enclosed vesicles that play essential functions in cell-to-cell communications among tumor cells. We aimed to identify epitopes of brain tumor EVs by phage peptide libraries. EVs from GBM plasma, MMA plasma, or brain tumor cell lines were used to screen phage-displayed random peptide libraries to identify high-affinity peptides. We purified EVs from three GBM plasma pools (23 patients), one MMA pool (10 patients), and four brain tumor cell lines. We identified a total of 21 high-affinity phage peptides (12 unique) specific to brain tumor EVs. The peptides shared high sequence homologies among those selected by the same EVs. Dose–response ELISA demonstrated that phage peptides were specific to brain tumor EVs compared to controls. Peptide affinity purification identified unique brain tumor EV subpopulations. Significantly, GBM EV peptides inhibit brain tumor EV-induced complement-dependent cytotoxicity (necrosis) in neurons. We conclude that phage display technology could identify specific peptides to isolate and characterize tumor EVs.
