Elucidating the Role of Surface Ligands on the Oxidative Etching of Au Bipyramids During Photothermia Using Liquid Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Gold bipyramids can act as efficient plasmonic nanoheaters, but they often reshape during laser heating. This study shows that oxygen nanobubbles drive oxidative etching and that surface ligands control stability. CTAB‐ and citrate‐coated particles blunt and lose optical performance, whereas polystyrene sulfonate preserves shape and heating by ...

Algorithmic Design of Disordered Networks With Arbitrary Coordination: Application to Biophotonics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Predictive Design of Disordered Networks: Disordered network‐like morphologies are abundant in nature, from cytoskeletal networks to bone structures and chalcogenide glasses. These structures are naturally hard to characterize. A new algorithmic tool extends the established Wooten–Weaire–Winer (WWW) algorithm to valencies above 4.

Investigation of Subsurface Current Flow Using an Active Front-End Converter for Through-the-Soil Long-Range Wireless Power Transfer

Energies
There is a strong demand for buried sensor networks in industries including mining, agriculture, geothermal energy, and oil/gas. However, the integration of these sensors is bottle-necked by the need for electric power which cannot be delivered by ...

Bioactive Conductive Ti3C2Tx‐Ce Hydrogel Facilitates Spinal Cord Injury Repair Through ROS Scavenging and Mitochondrial Regulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioactive conductive Ti3C2Tx‐Ce hydrogels with with scavenging ROS and alleviating neuronal mitochondrial dysfunction are exploited for SCI treatment. This functionality is attributed to interfacial activation modification of Ti3C2Tx with Ce3+ ions to in‐situ form Ce(OH)x‐mediated protective layer, which is beneficial to enabling stable intracellular ...

Study on the construction of twisted cosine partially coherent beams and their propagation characteristics

AIP Advances
We propose a novel Schell model source for generating twisted partially coherent beams with an initial radius of curvature, which is called a twisted flat-topped cosine Gaussian Schell-model (TFCGSM) source.

Rate‐Adaptive Site Transformation Catalyst for Parallel Water Dissociation and Hydrogen Adsorption in Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a rate‐adaptive site transformation strategy in Ag‑ethylenediamine intercalated Co9S8, which not only enables parallel water dissociation and H* adsorption, but also allows the catalyst to provide more active sites under high demand, removing a major bottleneck. The catalyst achieves a record current density of 4.2 A cm−2@2.0 V, with
