Anisotropic honeycomb stack metamaterials of graphene for ultrawideband terahertz absorption.

Graphene aerogels have implied great potential for electromagnetic wave absorption. However, the investigation of their design for broadband absorption in the terahertz (THz) range remains insufficient. Here, we propose an anisotropic honeycomb stack metamaterial (AHSM) based on graphene to achieve ultrawideband THz absorption.

Mesoporous Mixed-Metal-Organic Framework Incorporating a [Ru(Phen)] Photosensitizer for Highly Efficient Aerobic Photocatalytic Oxidative Coupling of Amines.

[Ru(Phen)] (phen = phenanthroline) as a very classical photosensitizer possesses strong absorption in the visible range and facilitates photoinduced electron transfer, which plays a vital role in regulating photochemical reactions. However, it remains a significant challenge to utilize more adequately and exploit more efficiently the ruthenium-based materials due to the uniqueness, scarcity, and nonrenewal of the noble metal. Here, we integrate the intrinsic advantages of the ruthenium-based photosensitizer and mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (meso-MOFs) into a [Ru(Phen)] photosensitizer-embedded heterometallic Ni(II)/Ru(II) meso-MOF () via the metalloligand approach.

Ultra-wideband perfect reflection and tunneling by all-dielectric metamaterials.

All-dielectric metamaterials are a promising low-loss alternative to plasmonic metamaterials for near-infrared perfect reflection, but the working bandwidth is still limited. Here we propose an ultra-wideband all-dielectric metamaterial perfect reflector that has a compact structure consisting of the subwavelength high-index grating, connection layer, and multilayer stack. Such a perfect reflector combines the advantages of quarter-wave design and resonant leaky mode, and covers an extremely wide wavelength range from 966 to 2203 nm under the normal incidence of transverse magnetic wave.
