摘要In this paper,a three-dimensional(3D)hierar-chical ZnO structure consisting of nanosheets modified with ultrafine NiO particles was synthesized via a facile two-step chemical precipitate method.Various techniques characterized the as-synthesized ZnO/NiO composites and pure ZnO.The p-NiO-ZnO junctions formed between adjacent ZnO and NiO nanoparticles,improving the gas sensing performance.The ZnO/NiO composite with the Ni:Zn atomic ratio of 7.42:100 exhibited the best iso-propanol sensing properties.Compared to pure ZnO,it showed high selectivity and sensitivity(Ra/Rg=221.3 toward 400×10-6isopropanol),fast response rate(less than 10 s),short recovery time,and simultaneously low operating temperature.Also,the ZnO/NiO composite exhibited a wide sensing range(1×10-6-1000×10-6)to isopropanol and processed good long-term stability.The experimental results suggested the potential application in fabricating efficient isopropanol sensors using this ZnO/NiO composite.The enhanced isopropanol sensing mech-anism is also discussed in charge transfer between heterojunctions,surface area,and surface defects.

摘要Amplifying the intrinsic wettability of substrate material by changing the solid/liquid contact area is considered to be the main mechanism for controlling the wettability of rough or structured surfaces.Through theoretical analysis and experimental exploration,we have found that in addition to this wettability structure amplification effect,the surface structure also simultaneously controls surface wettability by regulating the wetting state via changing the threshold Young angles of the Cassie-Baxter and Wenzel wetting regions.This wetting state regulation effect provides us with an alternative strategy to overcome the inherent limitation in surface chemistry by tailoring surface structure.The wetting state regulation effect created by multi-scale hierarchical structures is quite significant and plays is a crucial role in promoting the superhydrophobicity,superhydrophilicity and the transition between these two extreme wetting properties,as well as stabilizing the Cassie-Baxter superhydrophobic state on the fabricated lotus-like hierarchically structured Cu surface and the natural lotus leaf.

摘要Biomimetic hierarchical structures(BHS)are a powerful strategy for engineering functional surfaces with exceptional properties.However,their practical application is limited by inefficient,costly and complex fabrication methods.This study presents a novel net-forming approach for the efficient,scalable fabrication of BHS inspired by the microstructure of rice leaves.By optimizing the tool surface design,the process achieves an ultra-low material loss of just 0.008‰and a high processing efficiency of 18 mm2/s.The resulting BHS replicate the superhydrophobicity and anisotropic sliding behavior of rice leaves,while maintaining durable water repellency after more than 5000 hours of natural exposure and under severe abrasion.The method further offers substantial design flexibility,allowing the reconfiguration of BHS to accommodate diverse functions.This versatility is demonstrated by the fabrication of a mesh with BHS that exhibits efficient oil/water separation,achieving a separation efficiency of 99.07%,a flux of 2630 L·m-2·h-1and notable self-cleaning ability.This work introduces a creative and scalable pathway for multifunctional BHS fabrication,significantly expanding their potential for real-world applications.

摘要The lack of freshwater resources is a global problem.Fast and efficient water capture from fog is a good solution for many organisms living in arid regions.Compared with superhydrophobic surfaces,slippery liquid-filled porous surfaces(SLIPS)exhibit excellent droplet transport and shedding properties with very low sliding angles(SAs).It is not easy to produce a water film which can effectively improve the efficiency of fog collection.The shape and size of the microanostructure are flexibly adjusted by laser etching,the nanowires on the micron-scale pillars and groove structure are uniformly covered by ammonia etching,and silicone oil is injected by spin-coating to obtain a slippery liquid-infused surface with a microanostructure.Under the synergistic effect of our constructed microanostructure,the superhydrophobic surface injected with lubricant exhibited efficient droplet capture,aggregation,and removal properties,which greatly improved the fog collection efficiency(107%higher than that of the original sample).More importantly,the surface has excellent stability,ice resistance,and acid/alkali resistance and is expected to be used in various extreme adjustments.

摘要The regulation of the interfacial electric field plays a pivotal role in magnifying the electromagnetic en-ergy attenuation capability during the design and synthesis of efficient and tunable absorbers for elec-tromagnetic waves(EMW).Herein,a rational and universally applicable two-step hydrothermal method strategy was proposed to effectively control the electronic structure of Mott-Schottky EMW absorbing materials derived from Co-MOF.The as-synthesized Co3S4@MoS2/NC ensures efficient electron transfer,while the change redistribution leads to the emergence of additional electric dipoles under an external EMM field.In addition,the hierarchical Co3S4@MoS2/NC nano-architecture with a hierarchical arrange-ment in 2D and 3D offers more polarization sites,thereby extending the path for EMW transmission through multiple reflections and scattering.The potential to enhance the EMW absorption performance of Co3S4@MoS2/NC lies in its unique microstructure and substantial surface area,which optimize impedance matching properties through a synergistic effect of dipole and interfacial polarization induced by Mott-Schottky heterointerfaces.As anticipated,the Co3S4@MoS2/NC exhibits a maximum EMW absorption ca-pacity with an RLmin value of-41.97 dB and a broad EAB of 4.24 GHz at a thickness of 2.0 mm.This study provides insights for designing highly efficient Mott-Schottky EMW absorbing materials at the molecular level rationally.

摘要Living organisms,such as geckos and insects,exhibit excellent climbing ability on various complex surfaces due to the hair-like hierarchical adhesive systems of their attachment devices.Over the past few decades,an increased understanding of the mechanisms of multiscale hierarchical adhesion systems and the continual improvement of theoretical modeling have promoted the rapid advancement in the design and application of biomimetic artificial adhesives.The modeling of biomimetic artificial adhesives has developed from simple structures to complex constructions with multilevel hierarchical properties.A review of advances in the development of these contact mechanics models is presented here.Adhesion and friction models considering multiscale hierarchical structural forms are discussed,with a focus on multiscale hierarchical models based on the development of the Cantor‒Borodich profiles.Finally,the most recent developments in studies of artificial setae with spatula-like ends,both axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric,are reviewed.

摘要Hierarchical microanograting structures have attracted increasing attention owing to their significant applications in the fields of structural coloring,anti-counterfeiting,and decoration.Thus,the fabrication of hierarchical microanograting structures is important for these applications.In this study,a strategy for machining hierarchical microanograting structures is developed by controlling the tool movement trajectory.A coupling Euler-Lagrange finite element model is established to simulate the machining process.The effect of the machining methods on the nanograting formation is demonstrated,and a suitable machining method for reducing the cutting force is obtained.The height of the nanograting decreases with an increase in the tool edge radius.Furthermore,optical variable devices(OVDs)are machined using an array overlap machining approach.Coding schemes for the parallel column unit crossover and column unit in the groove crossover are designed to achieve high-quality machining of OVDs.The coloring of the logo of the Harbin Institute of Technology and the logo of the centennial anniversary of the Harbin Institute of Technology on the surface of metal samples,such as aluminum alloys,is realized.The findings of this study provide a method for the fabrication of hierarchical microanograting structures that can be used to prepare OVDs.

摘要Electromagnetic wave absorption materials require high dielectric loss and excellent impedance matching performance.However,current conventional biomass‐derived electromagnetic wave absorption materials are still limited by low electrical conductivity and a single structure.In this work,a“sphereetwork”hierarchical attenuation electromagnetic wave absorption material,which combines weakly conductive biomass‐derived carbon spheres and highly conductive cantaloupe‐like textured polypyrrole,was synthesized using Fe3+and methyl orange as template‐directing agents.Under the guiding effect of methyl orange,polypyrrole does not undergo disordered agglomeration on the surface of carbon spheres;instead,tubular polypyrrole grows orderly along the sphere surface and assembles to form a continuous conductive network.Conduction loss,dipole polarization,and interfacial polarization loss-acting as cooperative loss mechanisms-enable OJ‐MO‐PPy‐2.5 to achieve broadband effective absorption,with an effective absorption bandwidth of 7.2 GHz and a minimum reflection loss of−48.82 dB.Meanwhile,computer simulation technology(CST)simulation results indicate that after coating OJ‐MO‐PPy‐2.5,the reflection intensity of the electromagnetic wave is reduced by approximately three times when the wave is incident normally.The successful fabrication of OJ‐MO‐PPy furnishes novel insights for biomass‐derived electromagnetic wave absorption materials with broadband absorption capabilities.

摘要VO2is a promising thermochromic material,but it is still limited by low transparency,weak solar modulation,and poor stability.Here,we develop a coordination‐compound‐derived strategy to construct a hierarchical BiVO4/VO2@BiVO4film with a core-shell@nanosheet structure.VO2@BiVO4nanoparticles form the inner layer,whereas porous BiVO4nanosheets assemble on the surface.This architecture provides synergistic benefits:The BiVO4shell protects VO2from oxidation and enhances plasmon‐induced solar modulation,and the nanosheets improve visible transparency via antireflection.The composite also exhibits photocatalytic self‐cleaning and antibacterial activity.It delivers 63.0%visible transmittance and 15.6%solar modulation,retaining 80%performance after 27 days at 100°C and 50%humidity.This work integrates optical performance,durability,and multifunctionality,offering a practical pathway for VO2‐based smart windows.

摘要Tailoring single-atom catalysts(SACs)is a never-ending topic for catalyst design,where support modification plays a pivotal role.The support is conventionally porous,targeted to host high-density single atoms and to allow effective mass transfer,particularly for electrochemical reactions.However,a suboptimal porous structure with low connectivity and closed pores,may negatively impact the electrochemical performance.Introducing cavity to hierarchical porous structures has recently emerged as a promising approach,but the synthesis often relies on etchants which are usually destructive,whereas the impact of hierarchical shell on electrocatalytic activity lacks detailed investigations.In this work,we propose a“MOF-on-MOF”strategyby constructing high-density Co/Fe dual single-atom catalysts with hierarchical porosity and hollow structure through one-step annealing.This approach simultaneously achieves active sites with dense Co/Fe sites and optimizes support architecture,enabling efficient reaction kinetics for oxygen reduction reactions(ORR)/oxygen evolution reactions(OER).The optimal Co_8Fe2-N/C-900℃catalyst demonstrates outstanding bifunctional activity in alkaline media.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations reveal that the Co sites exhibit favorable adsorption of reaction intermediates,and the Fe sites boast a lower energy barrier,which is ensured by high-density Co/Fe dual atom sites through our approach.This work establishes a new route to SACs derived from ZIFs,offering a novel solution for the field.

摘要Organ defects involving hierarchical tissue structures remain a major challenge due to limited regenerative capacity in adulthood.To break this bottleneck,regenerative medicine is undergoing a paradigm shift from simulating the healing process of mature organs to reactivating re-development potential,namely developmental engineering strategy.In this study,we propose a novel paradigm based on developmental niche-empowered stem cell-derived apoptotic extracellular vesicles(DevNiche-ApoEVs),which integrates cues from both parental stem cells and their environmental niches.Using the periodontium as a classical hierarchical model,we identified developmental M2-phenotype macrophages(DevM2φ)as a key niche component that induces a developmental metabolic profile in stem cells,characterized by enhanced energy metabolism,mitochondrial homeostasis,and dominance of oxidative phosphorylation.We subsequently empowered ApoEVs with DevM2φ-mediated developmental niche to generate DevNiche-ApoEVs capable of delivering mitochondrial complex I and recapitulating the developmental metabolic profile.In vitro studies confirmed DevNiche-ApoEVs reactivated the developmental potential of adult periodontal ligament cells(PDLCs),while complex I inhibition abrogated this effect.Consistently,DevNiche-ApoEVs promoted re-development-based hierarchical periodontal regeneration by recapitulating critical developmental events in vivo.This study highlights the pivotal role of the developmental niche in hierarchical tissue regeneration and provides a promising DevNiche-ApoEVs-focused developmental engineering strategy,which offers both a solid theoretical foundation and an effective translational solution to overcome the longstanding bottleneck in adult tissue regeneration.

摘要Multimodal sentiment analysis aims to accurately identify emotional states by comprehensively utilizing information from multiple sources such as text,audio,and visual data.However,semantic heterogeneity and temporal differences exist between different modalities,limiting the effectiveness of feature fusion.To address this issue,this paper proposes a hierarchical joint cross-modal attention and gating mechanism(HJCAG)for multimodal sentiment analysis.This method introduces a hierarchical structure,dividing modal interactions into bimodal and trimodal layers to progressively model the semantic relevance between modalities.First,deep features are extracted from text,audio,and visual modalities using pre-trained models to obtain high-dimensional representations of semantics,speech,and facial expressions,which are then aligned to a unified feature space.Second,a joint cross-modal attention module is designed at the bimodal and trimodal levels,calculating cross-attention weights based on the correlation between the joint feature representation and individual modal representations.Explicit modeling of multimodal interaction relationships and semantic alignment fully leverages the complementary information of different modalities.Furthermore,this paper introduces a gating mechanism to adaptively control the contribution weights of each modal feature,reducing redundant information interference and improving the discriminativeness of the fused representation.Finally,the fused global features are input into the emotion classifier to identify emotional states.The proposed method achieves 75.47±0.22%and 69.25±0.37%accuracy and 76.84±0.45%and 68.97±0.41%weighted F1 scores on the Interactive Emotional Dyadic Motion Capture(IEMOCAP)database and Multimodal EmotionLines Dataset(MELD),respectively,outperforming mainstream multimodal baseline methods,verifying the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method in multimodal feature fusion and emotion recognition.

摘要Underwater superhydrophobic surfaces(SHSs)are promising for drag reduction but are limited by the metastability of underwater air plastrons.Inspired by the replenishment mechanism of the water spider’s air plastron,a recoverable SHS with a sparse micro-nano hierarchical structure was fabricated by obtaining a microcone array structure through laser etching and mold replication,followed by the chained nanoparticle deposition and fluorination treatment.The surface exhibited exceptional durability,sustaining 100 abrasion cycles(2 kPa)and 5.5 h water jetting(25 kPa).This is attributed to the microcone array,which protects the superhydrophobic nanoparticles under mechanical action.The hierarchical structure exhibited underwater aerophilicity,which enabled 34 cycles from fully wetting to superhydrophobicity.Rotational rheometric analysis revealed a drag reduction rate of 13.6%.Fluid dynamics simulations showed that the microstructure reduced wall shear stress,achieving a drag reduction rate of 14.2%at a flow velocity of 1 m/s and a wall-slip velocity of 0.15 m/s.This study provides design directions and theoretical foundations for the application of SHS in sustainable drag reduction.

摘要Replacing the oxygen evolution half-reaction by a sulfion oxidation reaction(SOR)with ultra-low theoretical oxidation potential and designing efficient SOR catalysts are promising strategies to decrease the energy consumption of electrochemical hydrogen production.Here,Ni-doped cobaltous carbonate hydroxide nanorod arrays(Ni-Co-C/NF)are used as unique pre-electrocatalysts for SOR.Ni-doped cobalt carbonate hydroxide in situ transforms into Ni,Co-based sulfides with a high degree of amorphization(Ni-Co-S/NF)during the SOR process.Ni-Co-S/NF achieves high SOR intrinsic activity,and just needs an ultra-low potential of 0.366 V vs.RHE to reach a current density of 100 mA cm−2.Meanwhile,a dissymmetrical acid–base coupled electrolytic system is designed for simultaneous hydrogen and sulfur production using Ni-Co-S/NF as the catalytic electrode.This well-designed system significantly decreases the energy consumption of hydrogen production,and can even generate extra electric energy at low current density.This work provides unique insights into an in situ reconstruction and dissymmetrical electrolyte,which will promote the fast development of hydrogen energy.
