Adaptive In-Sensor Computing for Enhanced Feature Perception and Broadband Image Restoration.

Traditional imaging systems struggle in weak or complex lighting environments due to their fixed spectral responses, resulting in spectral mismatches and degraded image quality. To address these challenges, a bioinspired adaptive broadband image sensor is developed. This innovative sensor leverages a meticulously designed type-I heterojunction alignment of 0D perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) and 2D black phosphorus (BP).

Pulse irradiation synthesis of metal chalcogenides on flexible substrates for enhanced photothermoelectric performance.

High synthesis temperatures and specific growth substrates are typically required to obtain crystalline or oriented inorganic functional thin films, posing a significant challenge for their utilization in large-scale, low-cost (opto-)electronic applications on conventional flexible substrates. Here, we explore a pulse irradiation synthesis (PIS) to prepare thermoelectric metal chalcogenide (e.g.

Multiscale Confinement Engineering for Boosting Overall Water Splitting by One-Step Stringing of a Single Atom and a Janus Nanoparticle within a Carbon Nanotube.

Enzyme-mimicking confined catalysis has attracted great interest in heterogeneous catalytic systems that can regulate the geometric or electronic structure of the active site and improve its performance. Herein, a liquid-assisted chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) strategy is proposed to simultaneously confine the single-atom Ru sites onto sidewalls and Janus Ni/NiO nanoparticles (NPs) at the apical nanocavities to thoroughly energize the N-doped carbon nanotube arrays (denoted as Ni/NiO@Ru-NC). The bifunctional Ni/NiO@Ru-NC electrocatalyst exhibits overpotentials of 88 and 261 mV for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at 100 mA cm in alkaline solution, respectively, all ranking the top tier among the carbon-supported metal-based electrocatalysts.

Au-Seeded CsPbI Nanowire Optoelectronics via Exothermic Nucleation.

Converting vapor precursors to solid nanostructures via a liquid noble-metal seed is a common vapor deposition principle. However, such a noble-metal-seeded process is excluded from the crystalline halide perovskite synthesis, mainly hindered by the growth mechanism shortness. Herein, powered by a spontaneous exothermic nucleation process (Δ < 0), the Au-seeded CsPbI nanowires (NWs) growth is realized based on a vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mode.

Monolayer-to-Multilayer Dimensionality Reconstruction in a Hybrid Perovskite for Exploring the Bulk Photovoltaic Effect Enables Passive X-ray Detection.

Halide hybrid perovskites are attracting considerable attention as highly promising candidates for directly sensing X-ray radiation, but it is challenging to realize passive X-ray detection without an external power supply. However, the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) in ferroelectrics promotes the independent separation of photoexcited carriers. Herein, by dimensionality reconstruction of a pure-two-dimensional (P-2D) monolayered perovskite (CH OC H N) PbBr , we obtained a quasi-two-dimensional (Q-2D) ferroelectric (CH OC H N) CsPb Br .
