    查看更多>>摘要:Graphene is one of the most promising candidates for integrated circuits due to its robustness against short-channel effects,inherent high carrier mobility and desired gapless nature for Ohmic contact,but it is difficult to achieve satisfactory on/off ratios even at the expense of its carrier mobility,limiting its device applications.Here,we present a strategy to realize high back-gate switching ratios in a graphene monolayer with well-maintained high mobility by forming a vertical heterostructure with a black phosphorus multi-layer.By local current annealing,strain is introduced within an established area of the graphene,which forms a reflective interface with the rest of the strain-free area and thus generates a robust off-state via local current depletion.Applying a positive back-gate voltage to the heterostructure can keep the black phosphorus insulating,while a negative back-gate voltage changes the black phosphorus to be conductive because of hole accumulation.Then,a parallel channel is activated within the strain-free graphene area by edge-contacted electrodes,thereby largely inheriting the intrinsic carrier mobility of graphene in the on-state.As a result,the device can provide an on/off voltage ratio of>103 as well as a mobility of~8000 cm2 V-1 s-1 at room temperature,meeting the low-power criterion suggested by the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems.

    查看更多>>摘要:Hydrogen therapy shows great promise as a versatile treatment method for diseases associated with the overexpression of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species(RONS).However,developing an advanced hydrogen therapy platform that integrates controllable hydrogen release,efficient RONS elimination,and biodegradability remains a giant technical challenge.In this study,we demonstrate for the first time that the tungsten bronze phase H0.53WO3(HWO)is an exceptionally ideal hydrogen carrier,with salient features including temperature-dependent highly-reductive atomic hydrogen release and broad-spectrum RONS scavenging capability distinct from that of molecular hydrogen.Moreover,its unique pH-responsive biodegradability ensures post-therapeutic clearance at pathological sites.Treatment with HWO of diabetic wounds in an animal model indicates that the solid-state atomic H promotes vascular formation by activating M2-type macrophage polarization and anti-inflammatory cytokine production,resulting in acceleration of chronic wound healing.Our findings significantly expand the basic categories of hydrogen therapeutic materials and pave the way for investigating more physical forms of hydrogen species as efficient RONS scavengers for clinical disease treatment.

    查看更多>>摘要:Kidney transplantation is the gold standard for the treatment of end-stage renal diseases(ESRDs).However,the scarcity of donor kidneys has caused more and more ESRD patients to be stuck on the waiting list for transplant surgery.Improving the survival rate for renal grafts is an alternative solution to the shortage of donor kidneys.Therefore,real-time monitoring of the surgical process is crucial to the success of kidney transplantation,but efficient methods and techniques are lacking.Herein,a fluorescence technology based on bright,photostable and long-circulating aggregation-induced emission(AIE)active NIR-Ⅱnano-contrast agent DIPT-ICF nanoparticles for the whole-process monitoring and evaluation of renal transplantation has been reported.In the aggregated state,DIPT-ICF exhibits superior photophysical properties compared with the commercial dyes IR-26 and IR-1061.Besides,the long-circulating characteristic of the AIE nano-contrast agent helps to achieve renal angiography in kidney retrieval surgery,donor kidney quality evaluation,diagnosing vascular and ureteral complications,and assessment of renal graft reperfusion beyond renovascular reconstruction,which considerably outperforms the clinically approved indocyanine green(ICG).

    查看更多>>摘要:The interaction between sites A,B and X with passivation molecules is restricted when the conventional passivation strategy is applied in perovskite(ABX3)photovoltaics.Fortunately,the revolving A-site presents an opportunity to strengthen this interaction by utilizing an external field.Herein,we propose a novel approach to achieving an ordered magnetic dipole moment,which is regulated by a magnetic field via the coupling effect between the chiral passivation molecule and the A-site(formamidine ion)in perovskites.This strategy can increase the molecular interaction energy by approximately four times and ensure a well-ordered molecular arrangement.The quality of the deposited perovskite film is significantly optimized with inhibited nonradiative recombination.It manages to reduce the open-circuit voltage loss of photovoltaic devices to 360 mV and increase the power conversion efficiency to 25.22%.This finding provides a new insight into the exploration of A-sites in perovskites and offers a novel route to improving the device performance of perovskite photovoltaics.
