Asymmetric “Janus” Biogel for Human-Machine Interfaces

Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) are essential for effective communication between machines and tissues. However, mechanical and biological mismatches, along with weak adhesion between rigid electronic devices and soft tissue, often cause unreliable responses and affect the signal recording of HMIs. In this study, an asymmetrical “Janus” biogel patch with one side firmly adhering to tissues, and the other surface having little adhesion and minimal interactions with surrounding environments has been developed. A series of analytical, mechanical, and electrical tests are performed to investigate the “Janus” biogel patch as a functional and biocompatible HMI. It is found that the gallic acid-modified gelatin adhesive surface on one side exhibits body temperature-dependent tissue adhesion, enabling low modulus and seamless skin contact. The other side is a tough gelatin/glycerol gel layer, which is thermally welded into the adhesive layer and functions as an encapsulant to prevent external interference due to adhesion. The encapsulation layer also exhibits a low friction coefficient when wet and proves to be a reliable alternative barrier to conventional encapsulation materials. The scientific insights and engineering principles revealed in this type of “Janus” biogel will be applicable to a broad range of biomedical applications, such as epidermal adhesive electrodes or skin-adhesive wearable devices.     

Breaking the Responsivity-Bandwidth Trade-Off Limit in GaN Photoelectrodes for High-Response and Fast-Speed Optical Communication Application

Underwater optical communication (UOC) has attracted considerable interest in the continuous expansion of human activities in marine/ocean environments. The water-durable and self-powered photoelectrodes that act as a battery-free light receiver in UOC are particularly crucial, as they may directly face complex underwater conditions. Emerging photoelectrochemical (PEC)-type photodetectors are appealing owing to their intrinsic aqueous operation characteristics with versatile tunability of photoresponses. Herein, a self-powered PEC photodetector employing n-type gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires as a photoelectrode, which is decorated with an iridium oxide (IrO_x) layer to optimize charge transfer dynamics at the GaN/electrolyte interface, is reported. Strikingly, the constructed n-GaN/IrO_x photoelectrode breaks the responsivity-bandwidth trade-off limit by simultaneously improving the response speed and responsivity, delivering an ultrafast response speed with response/recovery times of only 2 µs/4 µs while achieving a high responsivity of 110.1 mA W⁻¹. Importantly, the device exhibits a large bandwidth with 3 dB cutoff frequency exceeding 100 kHz in UOC tests, which is one of the highest values among self-powered photodetectors employed in optical communication system.     

Balancing MXene Surface Termination and Interlayer Spacing Enables Superior Microwave Absorption

Surface chemistry and interlayer engineering determines the electrical properties of 2D MXene. However, it remains challenging to regulate the surface and interfacial chemistry of MXene simultaneously. Herein, simultaneous modulation of Ti₃C₂T_x MXene surface termination and layer spacing by alkali treatment are achieved. The electrical and electromagnetic properties of Ti₃C₂T_x are investigated in detail with respect to KOH and ammonia concentration dependence. A high concentration of KOH caused the Ti₃C₂T_x layer spacing to expand to 13.7 Å and the surface O/F ratio to increase to 33.84. Because of its weaker ionization effect, ammonia provides finer tuning compared to the drastic intercalation of KOH with a thorough sweeping of the F-containing groups. Ti₃C₂T_x is enriched with conductive -OH termination after ammonia treatment, which achieves an effective balance with the increased interlayer resistance. Therefore, NH₃H₂O-Ti₃C₂T_x achieves broad-band impedance matching and exhibits an efficient microwave loss of −49.1 dB at a low thickness of 1.7 mm, with an effective frequency bandwidth of 3.9 GHz. The results herein optimize the electrical properties of Ti₃C₂T_x using surface and interfacial chemistry to achieve broad microwave absorption, providing a framework for enhancing the electromagnetic wave loss of intrinsic MXene.
