Flexible and lightweight supercapacitors with superior mechanical flexibility and outstanding capacity are regarded as an ideal power source for wearable electronic devices. Meanwhile, incorporating additional novel characters such as transparency and electrochromism can further benefit the development of smart supercapacitors. Nevertheless, the application of the commonly used planar-structural current collectors is seriously restricted by their intrinsic properties such as poor rigidity, large thickness, and limited loading surface area. Flexible and ultralight current collectors with 3D architecture, high conductivity, and easy integration are believed to be the most appropriate alternatives to build high-performance supercapacitors. In this study, a novel and scalable manufacturing technique is developed to produce a flexible and ultralight 3D Ni micromesh (3D NM) current collector for supercapacitor. Flexible smart supercapacitor integrated by 3D NM and high active Ni–Co bimetallic hydroxide (3D NM@NiCo BH) delivers a considerable rate performance (60.6% capacity retention from 1 to 50 mA cm−2). Furthermore, the fabricated hybrid supercapacitor device integrated with electrochromic functionality can visually indicate the energy level by a color display. This flexible electrochromic supercapacitor based on ultralight 3D Ni micromesh provides a novel insight into multifunctional energy storage systems for smart wearable electronic devices. 相似文献
The intriguing surface sensitivity of the single-crystalline semiconductor nanowires offers tremendous opportunity in tuning the physical properties of nanophotonic and nanoelectronic devices for versatile applications. Particularly, in the pursuit of emerging photoelectrochemical (PEC)-type devices, significant efforts have been devoted to understanding the charge transfer dynamics between the nanowires and the electrolyte. Here, a PEC-type ultraviolet photodetector consisting of GaN p-n junction nanowires as photoelectrodes is constructed. It is found that two competing charge transport processes at the nanowires’ surface as well as in the p-n junction co-determine the photoresponsive behavior of the device. Furthermore, the surface platinum (Pt) decoration has successfully tuned the charge transfer dynamics by enhancing the charge transport efficiency at the surface, resulting in a twenty-fold increase of the photocurrent compared to the pristine GaN nanowires. Theoretical calculations reveal that the newly formed electronic states at the Pt/GaN interface account for the improved charge transfer at the surface, and the optimal hydrogen adsorption energy contributes to the boosted PEC reaction rate. The synergy of these two effects uncover the underlying mechanism of the high photoresponse of the constructed Pt/GaN-nanowires-based PEC photodetectors. 相似文献
Most anticancer drugs with broad toxicities are systematically administrated to cancer patients and their distribution in tumors is extremely low owing to hypoxia, which compromises the therapeutic efficacies of these cancer drugs. Consequently, a preponderant proportion of cancer drugs is distributed in off-target-healthy tissues, which often causes severe adverse effects. Precision cancer therapy without overdosing patients with drugs remains one of the most challenging issues in cancer therapy. Here, a novel concept of nanopoxia is presented, which is a tumor-hypoxia-based photodynamic nanoplatform for the release of therapeutic agents to achieve precision cancer therapy. Under tumor hypoxia, exposure of tumors to laser irradiation induces the fracture of polymer outer shell and produces anticancer reactive oxygen species, and switches 2D antimonene (Sb) nanomaterials to cytotoxic trivalent antimony to synergistically kill tumors. In preclinical cancer models, delivery of Sb nanomaterials to mice virtually ablates tumor growth without producing any detectable adverse effects. Mechanistically, the tumor hypoxia-triggered generation of trivalent antimony displays direct damaging effects on cancer cells and suppression of tumor angiogenesis. Together, the study provides a proof-of-concept of hypoxia-based precision cancer therapy by developing a novel nanoplatform that offers multifarious mechanisms of cancer eradication. 相似文献
One main task for domain experts in analysing their nD data is to detect and interpret class/cluster separations and outliers. In fact, an important question is, which features/dimensions separate classes best or allow a cluster‐based data classification. Common approaches rely on projections from nD to 2D, which comes with some challenges, such as: The space of projection contains an infinite number of items. How to find the right one? The projection approaches suffers from distortions and misleading effects. How to rely to the projected class/cluster separation? The projections involve the complete set of dimensions/features. How to identify irrelevant dimensions? Thus, to address these challenges, we introduce a visual analytics concept for the feature selection based on linear discriminative star coordinates (DSC), which generate optimal cluster separating views in a linear sense for both labeled and unlabeled data. This way the user is able to explore how each dimension contributes to clustering. To support to explore relations between clusters and data dimensions, we provide a set of cluster‐aware interactions allowing to smartly iterate through subspaces of both records and features in a guided manner. We demonstrate our features selection approach for optimal cluster/class separation analysis with a couple of experiments on real‐life benchmark high‐dimensional data sets. 相似文献
The experiment of laser thermal enhanced electrochemical deposition was investigated in this paper and the deposition layer of copper was obtained when laser irradiated the stainless steel substrate through the electrolyte. Then the scanning electron microscope was utilized to observe the surface morphology and cross-sectional morphology of the deposition layer. According to morphology observed, the laser thermal effect was discussed and the mechanical of laser enhanced electrochemical deposition was analyzed. The results show that the thermal effect of laser could increase the electrode potential and speed up the reduction reaction rate of electrochemical deposition. Compared with the ordinary electrodeposition, the grain size of electrodeposition has also been greatly reduced. When the laser energy was 0.2 mJ (20 kHz), the deposition rate was better and when the laser energy was between 0.2 mJ (20 kHz) and 0.4 mJ (20 kHz), the deposition layer with high tensile strength was gained. The results are useful to the development of the later electrochemical machining technology.
