Highly Efficient Triplet-Triplet-Annihilation Upconversion Sensitized by a Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Molecule in Optical Microcavities

Triplet-triplet-annihilation (TTA) upconversion sensitized by a new thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecule, BTZ-DMAC-4Br, is investigated in whispering gallery mode (WGM) microcavities made of toluene solutions filled into quartz capillaries. Since the utilization of the excitation light is improved in WGM microcavities through total internal reflection, the upconversion efficiency is enhanced greatly and an upconversion quantum yield of 24.6% is observed, which is a dozen times higher than that measured in conventional cuvettes. To the best of knowledge, this is the highest upconversion efficiency achieved in TADF sensitized TTA systems. Not only is a new material designed, but also the results provide a novel way to improve the TTA upconversion performance by utilizing the optical cavity effect, and the TTA microcavities may be used to construct highly efficient and low-threshold photonic devices in many applications.

Lithiothermic-Synchronous Construction of Mo-Li2S-Graphene Nanocomposites for High-Energy Li2S//Si?C Battery

Reducing the activation barrier and stabilizing the sulfur species of Li₂S cathodes can ultimately enhance cell efficiency and the cycle life of S-based Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Here, a unique synchronous synthesis method is established that can simultaneously construct Li₂S encapsulated in conductive protective layers, and accordingly propose a coordination effect of catalysis and domain restriction for Li₂S cathodes. Typically, based on the lithiothermic reaction of 8Li + MoS₂ + CS₂ = 4Li₂S + Mo + C, the obtained composite features abundant Mo nanocrystals embedded in crystalline Li₂S matrices and then wrapped by few-layer graphene. Notably, all three components derived from lithiothermic reaction are linked by the chemical bonding of Mo? S and C? S, forming a compact Mo-Li₂S-graphene triple heterostructure. Systematic studies reveal an unprecedented relevancy between charge overpotential and catalytic activation of Mo-Li₂S-graphene, whereas a low activation potential of 2.43 V is achieved. Further studies disclose the relationship between cycle stability and confinement effect of core-shell structure, whereas the improved confinement efficiency for polysulfides enables an excellent cycle life for the Li-S battery. Moreover, the Mo-Li₂S-graphene cathode demonstrates promising application for LIB, where the Mo-Li₂S-graphene//Si? C battery shows a high capacity of 764 mAh g^?1 and outstanding cycle stability.

Epitaxial Growth of Ternary Topological Insulator Bi2Te2Se 2D Crystals on Mica

Nanostructures of ternary topological insulator (TI) Bi₂Te₂Se are, in principle, advantageous to the manifestation of topologically nontrivial surface states, due to significantly enhanced surface‐to‐volume ratio compared with its bulk crystals counterparts. Herein, the synthesis of 2D Bi₂Te₂Se crystals on mica via the van der Waals epitaxy method is explored and systematically the growth behaviors during the synthesis process are investigated. Accordingly, 2D Bi₂Te₂Se crystals with domain size up to 50 µm large and thickness down to 2 nm are obtained. A pronounced weak antilocalization effect is clearly observed in the 2D Bi₂Te₂Se crystals at 2 K. The method for epitaxial growth of 2D ternary Bi₂Te₂Se crystals may inspire materials engineering toward enhanced manifestation of the subtle surface states of TIs and thereby facilitate their potential applications in next‐generation spintronics.

Stress Controllability in Thermal and Electrical Conductivity of 3D Elastic Graphene‐Crosslinked Carbon Nanotube Sponge/Polyimide Nanocomposite

Stress controllability in thermal and electrical conductivity is important for flexible piezoresistive devices. Due to the strength‐elasticity trade‐off, comprehensive investigation of stress‐controllable conduction in elastic high‐modulus polymers is challenging. Here presented is a 3D elastic graphene‐crosslinked carbon nanotube sponge/polyimide (G_w‐CNT/PI) nanocomposite. Graphene welding at the junction enables both phonon and electron transfer as well as avoids interfacial slippage during cyclic compression. The uniform G_w‐CNT/PI comprising a high‐modulus PI deposited on a porous templated network combines stress‐controllable thermal/electrical conductivity and cyclic elastic deformation. The uniform composites show different variation trends controlled by the porosity due to different phonon and electron conduction mechanisms. A relatively high k (3.24 W m^?1 K^?1, 1620% higher than PI) and suitable compressibility (16.5% under 1 MPa compression) enables the application of the composite in flexible elastic thermal interface conductors, which is further analyzed by finite element simulations. The interconnected network favors a high stress‐sensitive electrical conductivity (sensitivity, 973% at 9.6% strain). Thus, the G_w‐CNT/PI composite can be an important candidate material for piezoresistive sensors upon porosity optimization based on stress‐controllable thermal or electrical conductivity. The results provide insights toward controlling the stress‐induced thermal/electrical conductivities of 3D interconnected templated composite networks for piezoresistive conductors or sensors.
