Directional mode coupling in an asymmetric holey fiber coupler is demonstrated both numerically and experimentally for the first time. The holey fiber mode couplers have interesting spectral characteristics and are also found to exhibit increased dimensional tolerances. Following a design based on numerical investigations, a dual-core polymer holey fiber coupler for LP(01) and LP(11) mode multiplexing was fabricated via a drilling and drawing technique. The measurements are compared with the simulation results.

Continuous-flow catalysis bridges the gap between bench-scale laboratories and production-scale factories and thus should be a green and promising technology for the manufacture of value-added chemicals. Here, we present the construction of a continuous-flow catalytic system by integrating a tubular reactor with novel catalytic fibers, which are comprised of single-atomic Pd (Pd) and nitrogen-doped holey graphene (NHG) functionalized cotton fibers (CFs). Due to the loosely packed structure, highly exposed dual-active sites (i.

2D nanosheets such as graphene oxide (GO) can be stacked to construct membranes with fine-tuned nanochannels to achieve molecular sieving ability. These membranes are often thin to achieve high water permeance, but their fabrication with consistent nanostructures on a large scale presents an enormous challenge. Herein, GO-based hollow fiber membranes (HFMs) are developed for dye desalination by synergistically combining chemical etching to form in-plane nanopores (10-30 nm) to increase water permeance and polyamine functionalization to improve underwater stability and enable facile large-scale production using existing membrane manufacturing processes.

3D printing of water stable proteins with elastic properties offers a broad range of applications including self-powered biomedical devices driven by piezoelectric biomaterials. Here, we present a study on water-soluble silk fibroin (SF) films. These films were prepared by mixing degummed silk fibers and calcium chloride (CaCl) in formic acid, resulting in a silk I-like conformation, which was then converted into silk II by redissolving in phosphate buffer (PBS).

The hollow-core fibers (HCFs) with inner diameters of 30 µm, 50 µm, and 75 µm are spliced coaxially with dual-hole fiber (DHF) or photonic crystal fiber (PCF). Owing to the sized-matched air holes within HCF and DHF/PCF, an interconnected in-fiber microchannel is constructed, which facilitates rapid and complete filling of the HCF's central hole with liquid glue.

A novel porous carbon, derived from polybenzoxazine and subjected to hydrogen peroxide treatment, has been meticulously crafted to serve dual functions as a supercapacitor and a CO capture material. While supercapacitors offer a promising avenue for electrochemical energy storage, their widespread application is hampered by relatively low energy density. Addressing this limitation, our innovative approach introduces a three-dimensional holey carbon ball framework boasting a hierarchical porous structure, thereby elevating its performance as a metal-free supercapacitor electrode.
