Covalent 0D–2D Heterostructuring of Co9S8–MoS2 for Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution in All pH Electrolytes

Ultrasmall Co₉S₈ nanoparticles are introduced on the basal plane of MoS₂ to fabricate a covalent 0D–2D heterostructure that enhances the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of electrochemical water splitting. In the heterostructure, separate phases of Co₉S₈ and MoS₂ are formed, but they are connected by Co–S–Mo type covalent bonds. The charge redistribution from Co to Mo occurring at the interface enhances the electron‐doped characteristics of MoS₂ to generate electron‐rich Mo atoms. Besides, reductive annealing during the synthesis forms S defects that activates adjacent Mo atoms for further enhanced HER activity as elucidated by the density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Eventually, the covalent Co₉S₈–MoS₂ heterostructure shows amplified HER activity as well as stability in all pH electrolytes. The synergistic effect is pronounced when the heterostructure is coupled with a porous Ni foam (NF) support to form Co₉S₈–MoS₂/NF that displays superior performance to those of the state‐of‐the‐art non‐noble metal electrocatalysts, and even outperforms a commercial Pt/C catalyst in a practically meaningful, high current density region in alkaline (>170 mA cm^?2) and neutral (>60 mA cm^?2) media. The high HER performance and stability of Co₉S₈–MoS₂ heterostructure make it a promising pH universal alternative to expensive Pt‐based electrocatalysts for practical water electrolyzers.     

Recent Advances of Cell Membrane‐Coated Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications

Surface modification of nanomaterials is essential for their biomedical applications owing to their passive immune clearance and damage to reticuloendothelial systems. Recently, a cell membrane‐coating technology has been proposed as an ideal approach to modify nanomaterials owing to its facile functionalized process and good biocompatibility for improving performances of synthetic nanomaterials. Here, recent advances of cell membrane‐coated nanomaterials are reviewed based on the main biological functions of the cell membrane in living cells. An overview of the cell membrane is introduced to understand its functions and potential applications. Then, the applications of cell membrane‐coated nanomaterials based on the functions of the cell membrane are summarized, including physical barrier with selective permeability and cellular communication via information transmission and reception processes. Finally, perspectives of biomedical applications and challenges about cell membrane‐coated nanomaterials are discussed.     

A Polymer/Carbon‐Nanotube Ink as a Boron‐Dopant/Inorganic‐Passivation Free Carrier Selective Contact for Silicon Solar Cells with over 21% Efficiency

Traditional silicon solar cells extract holes and achieve interface passivation with the use of a boron dopant and dielectric thin films such as silicon oxide or hydrogenated amorphous silicon. Without these two key components, few technologies have realized power conversion efficiencies above 20%. Here, a carbon nanotube ink is spin coated directly onto a silicon wafer to serve simultaneously as a hole extraction layer, but also to passivate interfacial defects. This enables a low‐cost fabrication process that is absent of vacuum equipment and high‐temperatures. Power conversion efficiencies of 21.4% on an device area of 4.8 cm² and 20% on an industrial size (245.71 cm²) wafer are obtained. Additionally, the high quality of this passivated carrier selective contact affords a fill factor of 82%, which is a record for silicon solar cells with dopant‐free contacts. The combination of low‐dimensional materials with an organic passivation is a new strategy to high performance photovoltaics.     

Performance analysis of covert wireless communication based on beam forming with noise uncertainty

In order to establish covert wireless communication in Rayleigh fading environment with noise uncertainty,a scheme of downlink covert wireless communication based on complex Gaussian random coding and beam forming was adopted,and more importantly,the performance of covert wireless communication was analysed.Firstly,the covert probability of communication was analyzed by using the hypothesis test theory.Secondly,the optimal detection threshold of the illegal detection party was given and proved,and the closed expressions of the average covert probability,connection interruption probability and covert throughput of the system were further obtained.Finally,by jointly designing the transmission power and target covert rate,the optimal goal of the maximum covert throughput of the system was achieved,and the corresponding algorithm based on step search was given.The simulation results show that the beam forming technology could provide some gain for covert wireless communication.Compared with the ideal case in which the legitimate receiver is not affected by the noise uncertainty,the covert throughput in non-ideal case is significantly reduced and almost not affected by the basic noise level of the environment.     

Laser link cutting for memory chip repair

Link processing with individual laser pulses has become an industry standard process in IC memory chip manufacturing. It is gaining wide acceptance in analog chip reprogramming and tuning as well. Traditional laser processing, using the standard output of Nd:YAG at 1.064-/spl mu/m and Nd:YLF at 1.047-/spl mu/m laser wavelengths, works well for polysilicon links but is not satisfactory for metal links. This paper describes the physics modeling and computer simulation of the laser link process and a new technique of using 1.3-/spl mu/m laser wavelength for the process. While light absorption of link materials at 1.064-, 1.047-, and 1.3-/spl mu/m wavelengths are relatively the same, the absorption of a Si substrate at 1.3 /spl mu/m is considerably less. The improved absorption contrast between the link material and silicon substrate at 1.3-/spl mu/m delivers a much wider laser process window. Both simulation and experimental results are given and discussed. A brief introduction of another new technique, which uses UV laser pulses for link processing, is given. This UV laser process delivers a laser beam spot size much smaller than 1.5 /spl mu/m.     

Ad hoc wireless network traffic-self-similarity and forecasting

Lots of works have been carried out to discuss the self-similarity of Ethernet and World Wide Web traffic. In this letter, we study the ad hoc wireless network traffic collected in an ad hoc network (AHN) testbed and show that the ad hoc wireless network traffic is self-similar, which validates that AHN traffic is forecastable because self-similar time-series can be forecasted. We apply a fuzzy logic system to ad hoc wireless network traffic forecasting and simulation results show that it performs much better than does an LMS adaptive filter. All these studies are very important for evaluating network capacity and determining the battery power mode based on the forecasted traffic workload
