摘要Carbazole derivatives with a single phosphonic acid(PA)group are widely used as monolayer interfaces in perovskites and organic solar cells(OSCs).However,their hydrophilic nature renders ITO electrodes hydrophobic,limiting further applications.In this study,a novel carbazole-based compound functionalized with two PA groups,denoted 2PACz-D1,was designed to create a dual hydrophilic interface.This configuration enables the formation of a bilayer hole-transporting layer(HTL).Specifically,one PA group anchors to the ITO electrode,while the other generates a secondary hydrophilic surface.This allows the subsequent deposition of hydrophilic PEDOT:PSS,forming a protective bilayer HTL that shields ITO from corrosive acidic polymers.The OSCs incorporating this bilayer HTL achieved a power conversion efficiency of 19.44%and exhibited improved thermal stability compared to devices with a single HTL.This work demonstrates the potential of bis-PA carbazole derivatives for tailoring the HTL surface properties,offering promising opportunities for various organic electronic devices.

摘要Owing to the dispersion and multi-mode characteristics,guided wave non-destructive technology is promising for characterizing the interface state of incompressible viscoelastic multilayered soft plates.To effectively apply the guided waves in structural health monitoring,it is essential to attain a comprehensive understanding of dispersion and attenuation properties for Lamb waves in these plates,particularly those with weak interfaces.To achieve this,a hyper-viscoelastic fractional order model is employed to investigate Lamb waves in multilayered soft plates with weak interfaces.The analysis encompasses weak connections in both shear and vertical directions.An improved Legendre polynomial method with analytical integration expressions is employed to solve dynamic equations.The influence of weak interfaces,fractional order,and pre-deformation on wave characteristics is studied.Interestingly,results reveal the appearance of the transverse quasi-resonance for the S0 mode when pre-compression deformations reach sufficiently large magnitudes.Furthermore,phase velocity and attenuation variations are nonlinear as the weak interface coefficients increase.As these coefficients become adequately large,the variations diminish progressively,ultimately approaching a saturation point.

摘要Prelithiation is effective for compensating active lithium-ion(Li+)loss in silicon(Si)-based battery electrode materials.However,owing to the dynamic growth of the solid electrolyte interface(SEI),capacity fading remains the biggest challenge for the industrialization of Si electrodes.To address this problem,a novel ether-based prelithiation reagent was rationally designed by exploiting the weak solvent-solute coordination and the competitive reduction mechanism among electrolyte components.Precise regulation of the Li+solvation structure enhanced Li+transport during prelithiation,achieving an exceptional initial Coulombic efficiency(ICE)of~100%for the Si/carbon(Si/C)anode after performing contact prelithiation for 2 min.Furthermore,the lithium fluoride(LiF)-rich interface with high mechanical toughness was pre-formed to assist in the formation of a stable SEI controlling the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(LUMO)energy and binding energy of the prelithiation reagent,thereby improving the half-cell cycle performance.Consequently,the ICE of the full-cell incorporating the prelithiated Si/C anode increased by 40%compared with that containing as-received materials,and the corresponding energy density was 551.2 Wh kg-1 based on the electrode material after 3 cycles.Furthermore,theoretical calculations combined with in situ characterization techniques confirmed the strong potential of the contact prelithiation design strategy for large-scale industrial applications.

摘要This study integrates true triaxial hydraulic fracturing experiments with finite-discrete element method(FDEM)numerical simulation to systematically investigate the control mechanisms of interface strength and inclination angle on hydraulic fracture propagation in coal measure strata under different in-situ stress conditions.The results indicate that the fracture propagation path at the rock interface is jointly controlled by the interface strength coefficient(η),the interface inclination angle(θ),and the vertical stress difference coefficient(κ).When fractures propagate from soft rock to hard rock,the interface strength coefficient(η)plays a dominant role.The larger the η is,the more likely the hydraulic fracture is to penetrate the interface along the direction of vertical stress.Conversely,when fractures propagate from hard rock to soft rock,vertical stress primarily controls the propagation path.A larger vertical stress difference coefficient promotes interface crossing,while a smaller coefficient tends to cause the fracture to extend laterally along the interface.The interface inclination angle influences the magnitude and direction of the vertical stress component along the interface.A smaller θ facilitates interface penetration by hydraulic fractures,whereas a larger θ leads to fracture propagation along the interface.The complexity of the hydraulic fracture network increases with higher κ and θ.Moreover,the complexity of hydraulic fracture morphology exhibits a non-monotonic trend,initially decreasing and then increasing with rising κ and θ.This research provides an important theoretical basis for the design and control of hydraulic fracturing in coal measure strata.

摘要For decades,refining grain or twin structures at the nanoscale has been the cornerstone strategy for enhancing metal strength[1].However,when structural dimensions shrink to below~10 nm,this approach hits an insurmountable bottleneck,that is,material softening triggered by interface instability,which prevents further strength improvement[2-5].Now,writing in science,Li and colleagues introduce a novel strengthening approach based on nanoscale negative excess-energy interfaces(NEIs)that elevates the mechanical performance of nickelmolybdenum(Ni-Mo)alloys to an unprecedented level[6].
摘要CO2methanation technology has shown great application prospects in carbon neutrality and hydrogen storage due to its extremely high energy efficiency and potential economic benefits.It is highly desirable but challenging to design novel catalyst and achieve efficient and stable CO2methanation under mild conditions.Herein,we developed a highly active electron-enriched Y2O3/Ni catalyst,achieving a stable operation with~80.1%CO2conversion and~100%CH4selectivity for 400 h at 0.1 MPa and 220℃,which was a 100℃lower than the conventional supported Ni-based catalysts.Structural characterizations confirmed that the Y2O3/Ni catalyst maintained dynamic redox changes and formed electron-enriched Y2O3-x-Ni interfaces under reaction conditions.Mechanism studies proved that the Y2O3-x-Ni interfaces obviously lowered the energy barrier of*HCO dissociation,and shifted the rate-determining step from*HCO dissociation to*CO hydrogenation.Furthermore,profited by the moderate COx adsorption ability and higher H2coverage at the Y2O3-x-Ni interfaces,the*CO hydrogenation reaction was kinetically promoted.The above factors accounted for the excellent low-temperature CO2methanation activity of the Y2O3/Ni catalyst.

摘要The expansion of shale gas exploration into deeper reservoirs introduces increasing cementing challenges,primarily caused by cement sheath integrity failure through interfacial debonding.This study performed mechanical property characterization and interfacial bond strength evaluation of compositetoughened oil well cement to quantify the mechanical behavior of cement sheaths and cementing interfaces.Cavity pressure experiments were performed to obtain pressure-time curves of methane deflagrationfracturing under different fillingpressures.A whole-life-cycle well integrity model was established using a phased modeling approach,with the measured pressure data as input loads,and the cohesive zone model(CZM)was applied to simulate interfacial debonding evolution.Parametric analysis focused on the effects of perforation section length,deflagrationparameters(peak pressure,duration),and cement formulations on interfacial debonding.Numerical results reveal that the casingcement interface exhibits longer axial debonding lengths than the cement-formation interface,while the latter experiences faster debonding propagation.Sensitivity analysis highlights that composite toughened cement sheaths with reduced elastic modulus and enhanced bond strength significantly enhance wellbore integrity under methane deflagration.Interfacial debonding can be mitigated by optimizing perforation section length in staged fracturing operations and carefully controlling deflagration peak pressure and duration.This work enables predictive analysis of cement sheath debonding development and integrity evaluation,offering practical strategies for optimizing methane deflagration fracturing operations.

摘要Functional oxides host emergent interfacial phenomena from superconductivity to catalysis,intimately tied to lattice phonons that mediate many-body interactions.Sum-frequency generation(SFG)spectroscopy,a second-order nonlinear optical technique with intrinsic surface specificity,enables in situ and operando probing of lattice vibrations at surfaces and interfaces.In this review,we introduce the basic theory of SFG and survey its application in investigating functional oxide surfaces and interfaces—tracking oxygen vacancies on anatase TiO2,unveiling electron–phonon coupling modulation in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures,and detecting polaronic signatures in Nb-doped SrTiO3—thereby offering microscopic insights into the physics of oxide interfaces.

摘要Cutaneous haptic interfaces have demonstrated substantial potential in human-machine interaction,enabling applications such as immersive experiences,robotic teleoperation,and sensory transfer in prosthetics.By conveying rich haptic cues such as indentation,stretching,vibration,and temperature,cutaneous feedback improves presence,realism,task performance,and the stability of two-way interaction loops.This article introduces the fundamental concept of cutaneous haptic interfaces and reviews recent advances in cutaneous feedback modalities and device paradigms from skin-integrated patches to fingertips and whole-hand wearable devices.It highlights progress in spatiotemporal programmability for each feedback modality,as well as in combined multimodal feedback.Cutaneous adaptability designs for haptic feedback devices are also discussed,with an emphasis on maintaining natural interaction and achieving personalized haptic feedback.In addition,the integration of haptic feedback devices with sensing units has emerged as a popular trend,facilitating closed-loop control for more accurate and stable haptic interaction.Finally,the article concludes by underscoring a complete workflow spanning coordinated visual-haptic sensing,encoding,rendering,and feedback to support dexterous haptic interaction and enable more lifelike,responsive,and dependable performance in virtual or teleoperation scenarios.

摘要Fully implanted brain-computer interfaces(BCIs)are preferred as they eliminate signal degradation caused by interference and absorption in external tissues,a common issue in non-fully implanted systems.To optimize the design of electroencephalography electrodes in fully implanted BCI systems,this study investigates the penetration and absorption characteristics of microwave signals in human brain tissue at different frequencies.Electromagnetic simulations are used to analyze the power density distribution and specific absorption rate(SAR)of signals at various frequen-cies.The results indicate that lower-frequency signals offer advantages in terms of power density and attenuation coeffi-cients.However,SAR-normalized analysis,which considers both power density and electromagnetic radiation hazards,shows that higher-frequency signals perform better at superficial to intermediate depths.Specifically,at a depth of 2 mm beneath the cortex,the power density of a 6.5 GHz signal is 247.83%higher than that of a 0.4 GHz signal.At a depth of 5 mm,the power density of a 3.5 GHz signal exceeds that of a 0.4 GHz signal by 224.16%.The findings suggest that 6.5 GHz is optimal for electrodes at a depth of 2 mm,3.5 GHz for 5 mm,2.45 GHz for depths of 15-20 mm,and 1.8 GHz for 25 mm.
