Floating Catalyst Chemical Vapor Deposition Patterning Nitrogen-Doped Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Shape Tailorable and Flexible Micro-Supercapacitors

Micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) as high-power density energy storage units are designed to meet the booming development of flexible electronics, requiring simple and fast fabrication technology. Herein, a fast and direct solvent-free patterning method is reported to fabricate shape-tailorable and flexible MSCs by floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (FCCVD). The nitrogen-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes (N-SWCNTs) are directly deposited on a patterned filter by FCCVD with designable patterns and facilely dry-transferred on versatile substrates. The obtained MSCs deliver an excellent areal capacitance of 3.6 mF cm⁻² and volumetric capacitance of 98.6 F cm⁻³ at a scan rate of 5 mV s⁻¹ along with excellent long-term cycle stability over 125 000 circles. Furthermore, the MSCs show good performance uniformity, which can be readily integrated via connection in parallel or series to deliver a stable high voltage (4 V with five serially connected devices) and large capacitance (5.1 mF with five parallel devices) at a scan rate of 100 mV s⁻¹, enabling powering the light emitting displays. Therefore, this method blazes the trail of directly preparing flexible, shape-customizable, and high-performance MSCs.     

Room-Temperature Metal-Catalyzed Ultrafast Gasification of Ultrathin Boron Flakes

The trivalent outer shell of boron renders this element electron-poor but chemically rich, exhibiting more than one dozen allotropes. Its 2D polymorph has been recently synthesized on metal substrates under ultrahigh vacuum and has attracted intense interest. However, probing its properties ex situ has been challenging due to the quality degradation—surface oxidation—that occurs upon exposure to ambient environments. Herein, this surface chemistry is investigated in regard to the air stability of ultrathin boron flakes on metals prepared by atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition. The characteristic Volmer–Weber growth is recognized by the stacking of polygon-shaped, thin flakes as isolated islands. Significantly, the metal-catalyzed, ultrafast gasification of boron flakes at room temperature, exemplified by the complete, spontaneous vanishment of 200 nm-thick boron islands in 3 h is observed. A two-step mechanism, first oxygen-involved surface oxidation and then subsequent reactions with water forming a highly volatile boric acid layer, is unambiguously revealed by combined surface characterizations. The catalysis by metal substrates, corroborated by theoretical calculations, is attributed as the crucial cause of the unprecedented gasification. The concept of oxygen-free growth is thereby proposed for air-sensitive material growth by introducing in situ oxygen scavengers. These findings significantly expand the fundamental understanding of the surface chemistry of boron and pave the way for the chemical vapor deposition growth of hydrophobic materials.     

Tuning a Solvation Structure of Lithium Ions Coordinated with Nitrate Anions through Ionic Liquid-Based Solvent for Highly Stable Lithium Metal Batteries

Rational design of promising electrolyte is considered as an effective strategy to improve the cycling stability of lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Here, an elaborately designed ionic liquid-based electrolyte is proposed that is composed of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide as the lithium salt, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate ionic liquid ([EMIm][NO₃] IL) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) as the functional solvents, and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) as the diluent solvent. Using [EMIm][NO₃] IL as the solvent component facilitates a special Li⁺-coordinated NO₃⁻ solvation structure, which enables the continues electrochemical reduction of solvated NO₃⁻ and the formation of remarkably stable and conductive solid electrolyte interface. With FEC as another functional solvent and DME as the diluent solvent, the formulated electrolyte delivers high oxidative stability and ionic conductivity, and endows improved electrochemical reaction kinetics. Therefore, the formulated electrolyte demonstrates exceedingly reversible and stable Li stripping/plating behavior with high average Coulombic efficiency (98.8%) and ultralong cycling stability (3500 h). Notably, the high-voltage Li|LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ full cell with IL-based electrolyte exhibits enhanced cyclability with a capacity retention of 65% after 200 cycles under harsh conditions of low negative/positive ratio (3.1) and lean electrolyte (2.5 µL mg⁻¹). This study creates the first NO₃⁻-based ionic liquid electrolyte and evokes the avenue for practical high-voltage LMBs.     

Ultra-Stable and Sensitive Ultraviolet Photodetectors Based on Monocrystalline Perovskite Thin Films

The detection of ultraviolet (UV) radiation with effective performance and robust stability is essential to practical applications. Metal halide single-crystal perovskites (ABX₃) are promising next-generation materials for UV detection. The device performance of all-inorganic CsPbCl₃ photodetectors (PDs) is still limited by inner imperfection of crystals grown in solution. Here wafer-scale single-crystal CsPbCl₃ thin films are successfully grown by vapor-phase epitaxy method, and the as-constructed PDs under UV light illumination exhibit an ultralow dark current of 7.18 pA, ultrahigh ON/OFF ratio of ≈5.22 × 10⁵, competitive responsivity of 32.8 A W⁻¹, external quantum efficiency of 10867% and specific detectivity of 4.22 × 10¹² Jones. More importantly, they feature superb long-term stability toward moisture and oxygen within twenty-one months, good temperature tolerances at low and high temperatures. The ability of the photodetector arrays for excellent UV light imaging is further demonstrated.

Characterization of the Ultrathin HfO2 and Hf-Silicate Films Grown by Atomic Layer Deposition

The physical properties of HfO₂ and Hf-silicate layers grown by the atomic layer chemical vapor deposition are characterized as a function of the Hf concentration and the annealing temperature. The peaks of Fourier transform infrared spectra at 960, 900, and 820 cm_-1 originate from Hf-O-Si chemical bonds, revealing that a Hf-silicate interfacial layer began to form at the HfO₂/SiO ₂ interface after post deposition annealing process at 600 degC for 1 min. Moreover, the intensity of the peak at 750 cm^-1 can indicate the degree of crystallization of HfO₂. The formed Hf-silicate layer between HfO² and SiO² is also confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
