Trapped Fluorine Enables Thermally Stable Broadband Photodetection in Graphene/Fluorinated Graphene Heterostructure

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Fluorinated graphene has opened new opportunities for real‐world applications; however, its working and thermal stability are key issues for practical use. This study successfully demonstrates the stability of a fluorinated graphene‐based photodetector, achieved through a graphene, fluorinated graphene heterostructure (Gr/F‐Gr HS).

Electrospun PAN Membrane Loaded with AgInP2Se6 Nanosheets for Triboelectric Energy Harvesting

Small, EarlyView.
Exfoliated AgInP2Se6 nanosheets are incorporated into a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer matrix by electrospinning and applied for the first time in a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). The hybrid membrane delivers strong electrical output and exhibits reversible humidity sensitivity, responding rapidly to changes in relative humidity.
