Molecular‐Scale Hybridization of Clay Monolayers and Conducting Polymer for Thin‐Film Supercapacitors

Development of electrode materials with well‐defined architectures is a fruitful and profitable approach for achieving highly‐efficient energy storage systems. A molecular‐scale hybrid system is presented based on the self‐assembly of CoNi‐layered double hydroxide (CoNi‐LDH) monolayers and the conducting polymer (poly(3,4‐ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate), denoted as PEDOT:PSS) into an alternating‐layer superlattice. Owing to the homogeneous interface and intimate interaction, the resulting CoNi‐LDH/PEDOT:PSS hybrid materials possess a simultaneous enhancement in ion and charge‐carrier transport and exhibit improved capacitive properties with a high specific capacitance (960 F g^–1 at 2 A g^–1) and excellent rate capability (83.7% retention at 30 A g^–1). In addition, an in‐plane supercapacitor device with an interdigital design is fabricated based on a CoNi‐LDH/PEDOT:PSS thin film, delivering a significantly enhanced energy and power output (an energy density of 46.1 Wh kg^–1 at 11.9 kW kg^–1). Its application in miniaturized devices is further demonstrated by successfully driving a photodetector. These characteristics demonstrate that the molecular‐scale assembly of LDH monolayers and the conducting polymer is promising for energy storage and conversion applications in miniaturized electronics.

Design and implementation of n-scroll chaotic attractors from a general jerk circuit

This paper proposes a novel nonlinear modulating function approach for generating n-scroll chaotic attractors based on a general jerk circuit. The systematic nonlinear modulating function methodology developed here can arbitrarily design the swings, widths, slopes, breakpoints, equilibrium points, shapes, and even the general phase portraits of the n-scroll chaotic attractors by using the adjustable sawtooth wave, triangular wave, and transconductor wave functions. The dynamic mechanism and chaos generation condition of the general jerk circuit are further investigated by analyzing the system stability. A simple block circuit diagram, including integrator, sawtooth wave and triangular wave generators, buffer, switch linkages, and voltage-current conversion resistors, is designed for the hardware implementations of various 3-12-scroll chaotic attractors via switchings of the switch linkages. This is the first time to experimentally verify a 12-scroll chaotic attractor generated by an analog circuit. In particular, the recursive formulas of system parameters and real physical circuit parameters are rigorously derived for the hardware implementations of the n-scroll chaotic attractors. Moreover, the adjustability of the nonlinear modulating function and the rigorous recursive formulas together provide a theoretical principle for the hardware implementations of various chaotic attractors with a large number of scrolls.

MRI-compatible intensity-modulated force sensor for cardiac catheterization procedures

This paper presents a novel, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-compatible, force sensor suitable for cardiac catheterization procedures. The miniature, fiber-optic sensor is integrated with the tip of a catheter to allow the detection of interaction forces with the cardiac walls. The optical fiber light intensity is modulated when a force acting at the catheter tip deforms an elastic element, which, in turn, varies the distance between a reflector and the optical fiber. The tip sensor has an external diameter of 9 Fr (3?mm) and can be used during cardiac catheterization procedures. The sensor is able to measure forces in the range of 0-0.85?N, with relatively small hysteresis. A nonlinear method for calibration is used and real-time MRI in vivo experiments are carried out, to prove the feasibility of this low-cost sensor, enabling the detection of catheter-tip contact forces under dynamic conditions.     

Highly Flexible and Stretchable Nanowire Superlattice Fibers Achieved by Spring‐Like Structure of Sub‐1 nm Nanowires

Conventional inorganic nanowire (NW) fibers are usually not stretchable and elastic, which may limit their practical applications. Inspired by the similarity between inorganic sub‐1 nm NWs and polymer chains in dimension, and helical spring‐like structure of cellulose in cherry bark, highly flexible and stretchable NW superlattice fibers composed of sub‐1 nm GdOOH NWs are fabricated. The NW fibers could be twined, bent, twisted, and tied without any damage. When the strain is less than 10%, the fibers present elastic deformation. The elongation at break of the fibers usually reaches ≈40–50% and the highest elongation could reach ≈86%. Excellent flexibility and stretchability of the NW fibers are attributed to the well‐aligned spring‐like NWs assembled superlattice, which are demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy tests, synchrotron small‐angle X‐ray scattering, and obvious birefringence. Moreover, NW‐nanoparticle (NP) fibers are fabricated, inspired by inorganic nanoparticle–reinforced polymers. The strength is improved compared with the NW fibers. Based on this work, it is possible to fabricate multifunctional, flexible, and stretchable inorganic NW materials composed of different inorganic sub‐1 nm NWs, which may be useful in practical applications.     

High-power operation of III-N MOSHFET RF switches

We describe a large-signal performance of novel high-power radio frequency (RF) switches based on III-nitride insulated gate metal-oxide semiconductor heterostructure field-effect transistors (MOSHFETs). The maximum switching powers for a single MOSHFET with only 1-mm gate width exceed 50W at 10GHz, more than an order of magnitude higher than those achievable using GaAs transistors. In the ON state, the highest powers are determined by the device peak drain currents, 1-2A/mm for the state-of-the art III-N MOSHFETs; in the OFF state their maximum powers are limited by the breakdown voltage, normally well above 100V. Our experimental data are in close agreement with large-signal simulations and the proposed simple analytical model. We also show that the insulating gate design allows for broader bandwidth and higher switching powers and better stability as compared to conventional Schottky gate transistors.     

Hierarchical NiMn Layered Double Hydroxide/Carbon Nanotubes Architecture with Superb Energy Density for Flexible Supercapacitors

A hierarchical nanostructure composed of NiMn‐layered double hydroxide (NiMn‐LDH) microcrystals grafted on carbon nanotube (CNT) backbone is constructed by an in situ growth route, which exhibits superior supercapacitive performance. The resulting composite material (NiMn‐LDH/CNT) displays a three‐dimensional architecture with tunable Ni/Mn ratio, well‐defined core‐shell configuration, and enlarged surface area. An electrochemical investigation shows that the Ni₃Mn₁‐LDH/CNT electrode is rather active, which delivers a maximum specific capacitance of 2960 F g^–1 (at 1.5 A g^–1), excellent rate capability (79.5% retention at 30 A g^–1), and cyclic stability. Moreover, an all‐solid‐state asymmetric supercapacitor (SC) with good flexibility is fabricated by using the NiMn‐LDH/CNT film and reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/CNT film as the positive and negative electrode, respectively, exhibiting a wide cell voltage of 1.7 V and largely enhanced energy density up to 88.3 Wh kg^–1 (based on the total weight of the device). By virtue of the high‐capacity of pseudocapacitive hydroxides and desirable conductivity of carbon‐based materials, the monolithic design demonstrated in this work provides a promising approach for the development of flexible energy storage systems.
