Full‐Spectrum Solar Harvesting and Desalination Enabled by Supra‐Nano Amorphous Ruthenium Dioxide – Mineral Composites

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A mineral‐based supra‐nano amorphous ruthenium dioxide composite (a‐Ru0.5‐AM) was designed, achieving 97% broadband solar absorption. Under one sun, it reaches 87.91 ± 0.32 °C with a distinct thermal buffering effect that favors thermal confinement.

Charge‐Induced Morphing Gels for Bioinspired Actuation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel electroactive actuation mechanism that enables the gel material to generate substantial and reversible shape‐changing while preserving topological and isochoric (volumetric) equivalence. The resultant morphing behaviors can mimic the movements of muscle‐driven organelles in nature, including cilia‐like beating and ...

A novel carrier interleaved PWM method for four-level nested neutral-point-clamped inverters

iEnergy
The four-level nested neutral-point-clamped (4L-NNPC) inverter is a competitive topology among the various medium-voltage multilevel converters, and its main issue is flying-capacitor voltage unbalance.

Upconversion Nanoparticles Embedded Photonic Contact Lens for Transepithelial Corneal Crosslinking Using Hyaluronate – Riboflavin Conjugate

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A minimally invasive, transepithelial corneal cross‐linking (TE‐CXL) approach is presented using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)‐loaded contact lenses (UCLs), after topical delivery of hyaluronate–riboflavin conjugates. The NIR‐to‐UV/blue light conversion by UCNPs in a UCL can activate riboflavin for TE‐CXL, resulting in the biomechanical strength ...

Carrier-based sinusoidal pulse-width modulation techniques for flying capacitor modular multi-level cascaded converter

Heliyon, 2019
Carrier-based sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (PWM) techniques, such as phase disposoed PWM(PD-PWM) and phase shifted PWM (PS-PWM), are widely applied to control the modular multilevel cascaded converters (MMCC) having full H-bridge as sub-modules ...

The Dynamics of Interfacial Trap States in High‐Detectivity Near‐Infrared Photomultiplication Organic Photodetectors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Photomultiplication organic photodetectors (PM OPDs) are an attractive strategy for health‐monitoring. Here, PM‐OPDs are reported with a specific detectivity of 5.7 × 1012 Jones and external quantum efficiency values of 3500% under −10 V. The dynamics of carrier trapping in these devices are elucidated through trap selective spectroscopical techniques.

Carrier Reconfiguration for Improving Output Voltage Quality and Balancing Capacitor Voltages in MMDTC-Based STATCOM

Energies
For Modular Multilevel DC-Link T-Type Converter (MMDTC)-based STATCOMs, under identical operating conditions, the submodule (SM) capacitor voltage ripple is inversely proportional to its capacitance value.

Thickness‐Dependent Skyrmion Evolution in Fe3GeTe2 During Magnetization Reversal

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thickness‐ and field‐dependent magnetic domain behavior in 2D van der Waals Fe3GeTe2 is studied using Lorentz TEM and micromagnetic simulations. A patch‐like domain phase evolves from skyrmions during magnetization reversal, and step edges between thickness regions act as pinning sites.
