This paper reports the main characteristics of the Stokes spectra for typical pumped and unpumped Erbium-Ytterbium doped fibers. Doped fibers show shorter Brillouin shifts and their spectra are up to 1.6 times broader than undoped fibers. Those spectra are composed of several peaks originating from several longitudinal acoustic modes. The effective Brillouin gain of the secondary modes can be as large as 20% of the main peak gain. They can merge into a more complex structure for the largest cores. Simulations allow to relate these characteristics to the influence of codoping and index profile inhomogeneity. An additional broadening of the Stokes spectrum in pumped fibers is reported and attributed to thermal effects.

Pseudomorphic Transformation in Nanostructured Thiophene-Based Materials.

This study reveals the capability of nanostructured organic materials to undergo pseudomorphic transformations, a ubiquitous phenomenon occurring in the mineral kingdom that involves the replacement of a mineral phase with a new one while retaining the original shape and volume. Specifically, it is demonstrated that the postoxidation process induced by HOF·CHCN on preformed thiophene-based 1D nanostructures preserves their macro/microscopic morphology while remarkably altering their electro-optical properties by forming a new oxygenated phase. Experimental evidence proves that this transformation proceeds via an interface-coupled dissolution-precipitation mechanism, leading to the growth of a porous oxidized shell that varies in thickness with exposure time, enveloping the pristine smooth core.

Li metal batteries (LMBs), particularly with a limited Li metal anode and a 5V-class cathode, offer significantly higher energy density compared to the state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries. However, the limited Li anode poses severe challenges to cycling stability due to low efficiency and large volume expansion issues associated with Li. Herein, we design a lightweight and functionalized host composed of Sn nanoparticles embedded into necklace-like B,N,F-doped carbon macroporous fibers (Sn@B/N/F-CMFs) toward anode-less 5V-class LMBs.

Phase change fibers (PCFs) can effectively store and release heat, improve energy efficiency, and provide a basis for a wide range of energy applications. Improving energy storage density and preserving flexibility are the primary issues in the efficient manufacture and application development of PCFs. Herein, we have successfully fabricated a suite of flexible PCFs with high energy storage density, which use hollow carbon fibers (HCFs) encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) to provide efficient heat storage and release, thereby enhancing energy efficiency and underpinning a broad range of energy applications.

Electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-based scaffolds are widely used in tissue engineering. However, low cell adhesion remains the key drawback of PCL scaffolds. It is well known that nitrogen-doped diamond-like carbon (N-DLC) coatings deposited on the surface of various implants are able to enhance their biocompatibility and functional properties.

The pursuit of efficient and economical catalysts for water splitting, a critical step in hydrogen production, has gained momentum with the increasing demand for sustainable energy. Among the various electrocatalysts developed to date, cobalt oxide (CoO) has emerged as a promising candidate owing to its availability, stability, and catalytic activity. However, intrinsic limitations, including low catalytic activity and poor electrical conductivity, often hinder its effectiveness in electrocatalytic water splitting.
