CeF-Accelerated surface reconstruction of MoO nanosheets into coral-like CeF/MoO composites enhances the oxygen evolution reaction for efficient water splitting.

Developing efficient and cost-effective rare earth element-based electrocatalysts for water splitting remains a significant challenge. To address this, interface engineering and charge modulation strategies were employed to create a three-dimensional coral-like CeF/MoO heterostructure electrocatalyst, grown in situ on the multistage porous channels of carbonized sugarcane fiber (CSF). Integrating abundant CeF/MoO heterostructure interfaces and numerous oxygen vacancy defects significantly enhanced the catalyst's active sites and molecular activation capabilities.

2D compounds with heterolayered architecture for infrared photodetectors.

Compounds with heterolayered architecture, as a family of two-dimensional (2D) materials, are composed of alternating positive and negative layers. Their physical properties are determined not only by the charged constituents, but also by the interaction between the two layers. This kind of material has been widely used for superconductivity, thermoelectricity, energy storage, In recent years, heterolayered compounds have been found as an encouraging choice for infrared photodetectors with high sensitivity, fast response, and remarkable reliability.

Charge transport properties and mechanisms of bacterial cellulose (BC)-Zinc complexes.

Most current flexible electronic devices are based on petroleum materials that are difficult to degrade. The exploration of sustainable and eco-friendly materials has become a major focus in both the scientific and industrial communities. In this study, BC-Zn-BIM (bacterial cellulose-Zn-benzimidazole), a novel composite electrode material based on biodegradable BC was developed.

Mussel-inspired nanoparticle composite hydrogels for hemostasis and wound healing.

Uncontrolled hemorrhage caused by trauma can easily lead to death. Efficient and safe hemostatic materials are an urgent and increasing need for hemostatic research. Following a trauma, wound healing is induced by various cellular mechanisms and proteins.

Face Forgery Detection by 3D Decomposition and Composition Search.

Detecting digital face manipulation has attracted extensive attention due to fake media's potential risks to the public. However, recent advances have been able to reduce the forgery signals to a low magnitude. Decomposition, which reversibly decomposes an image into several constituent elements, is a promising way to highlight the hidden forgery details.

Thermo- and Light-Responsive Polymer-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles as Potential Drug Carriers.

A series of thermo- and light-responsive copolymers of poly (-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and 6-[4-(4-methoxy phenyl azo)-phenoxyl-hexyl methacrylate) (AzoMA) (PNIPAM-b-PAzoMA) were synthesized reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization. The resulting copolymers had a narrow molecular weight distribution range of 1.06-1.

Image Security Based on Three-Dimensional Chaotic System and Random Dynamic Selection.

Image encryption based on a chaos system can effectively protect the privacy of digital images. It is said that a 3D chaotic system has a larger parameter range, better unpredictability and more complex behavior compared to low-dimension chaotic systems. Motivated by this fact, we propose a new image cryptosystem that makes use of a 3D chaotic system.
