Emerging Dual‐Channel Transition‐Metal‐Oxide Quasiaerogels by Self‐Embedded Templating

The lack of precise control of particle sizes is the critical challenge in the assembly of 3D interconnected transition‐metal oxide (TMO) for newly‐emerging energy conversion devices. A self‐embedded templating strategy for preparing the TMO@carbon quasiaerogels (TMO@C‐QAs) is proposed. By mimicking an aerogel structure at a microscale, the TMO@C‐QA successfully assembles size‐controllable TMO nanoparticles into 3D interconnected structure with surface‐enriched carbon species. The morphological evolutions of intermediates verify that the self‐embedded Ostwald ripening templating approach is responsible for the dual‐channel TMO@C‐QA formation. The general self‐embedded templating strategy is easily extended to prepare various TMO@C‐QAs, including the Co₃O₄@C‐QA, Mn₃O₄@C‐QA, Fe₂O₃@C‐QA, and NiO@C‐QA. Benefiting from the unparalleled 3D interconnected network of aerogels, the Co₃O₄@C‐QA displays superior bifunctional catalytic activities for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), as well as high specific capacity and excellent long‐term stability for lithium‐ion battery (LIB) anode. A proof‐of‐concept battery‐powered electrolyzer with Co₃O₄@C‐QA cathode and anode powered by a full LIB with Co₃O₄@C‐QA anode is presented. The battery‐powered electrolyzer made of the state‐of‐the‐art TMOs can exhibit great competitive advantages due to its supreme multifunctional energy conversion performance for future water electrolysis.     

Sub‐Millimeter‐Scale Monolayer p‐Type H‐Phase VS2

2D H‐phase vanadium disulfide (VS₂) is expected to exhibit tunable semiconductor properties as compared with its metallic T‐phase structure, and thus is of promise for future electronic applications. However, to date such 2D H‐phase VS₂ nanostructures have not been realized in experiment likely due to the polymorphs of vanadium sulfides and thermodynamic instability of H‐phase VS₂. Preparation of H‐phase VS₂ monolayer with lateral size up to 250 µm, as a new member in the 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) family, is reported. A unique growth environment is built by introducing the molten salt‐mediated precursor system as well as the epitaxial mica growth platform, which successfully overcomes the aforementioned growth challenges and enables the evolution of 2D H‐phase structure of VS₂. The honeycomb‐like structure of H‐phase VS₂ with broken inversion symmetry is confirmed by spherical aberration‐corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and second harmonic generation characterization. The phase structure is found to be ultra‐stable up to 500 K. The field‐effect device study further demonstrates the p‐type semiconducting nature of the 2D H‐phase VS₂. The study introduces a new phase‐stable 2D TMDs materials with potential features for future electronic devices.     

Transition‐Metal Dichalcogenide NiTe2: An Ambient‐Stable Material for Catalysis and Nanoelectronics

By means of theory and experiments, the application capability of nickel ditelluride (NiTe₂) transition‐metal dichalcogenide in catalysis and nanoelectronics is assessed. The Te surface termination forms a TeO₂ skin in an oxygen environment. In ambient atmosphere, passivation is achieved in less than 30 min with the TeO₂ skin having a thickness of about 7 Å. NiTe₂ shows outstanding tolerance to CO exposure and stability in water environment, with subsequent good performance in both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. NiTe₂‐based devices consistently demonstrate superb ambient stability over a timescale as long as one month. Specifically, NiTe₂ has been implemented in a device that exhibits both superior performance and environmental stability at frequencies above 40 GHz, with possible applications as a receiver beyond the cutoff frequency of a nanotransistor.

Performance of Reuse Partitioning in Cellular Systems with Mobile Users

Reuse partitioning (RP) is a simple technique that can be used to increase the traffic capacity in a cellular system. With RP, a cell is divided into several concentric regions, each associated with a different cluster size. In this article, a traffic model is developed to analyze the impact of mobile users on a two-region RP system using fixed channel assignment. The influence of user speed and cell size on the new call blocking probability, P_b, and the call dropping probability, P_d, is investigated. A simpler model that can be used to estimate P_b and P_d in some cases is described. The effect on system capacity of reserving some channels for handoff calls is also studied. It is found that even though prioritized handoff can reduce P_d, it may also degrade the capacity. The accuracy of the analysis is verified using simulation for three mobility models.
