Construction of electrodes with fast reaction kinetics is of great importance for achieving advanced supercapacitors. Herein we report a facile combined synthetic strategy with atomic layer deposition (ALD) and electrodeposition to rationally fabricate nanotube/nanoflake core/shell arrays. ALD-TiO nanotubes are used as the skeleton core for assembly of electrodeposited MnO-C nanoflake shells forming a core/shell structure. Highly porous architecture and good electrical conductivity are combined in this unique core/shell structure, resulting in fast ion/electron transfer. In tests of electrochemical performance, the TiO/MnO-C core/shell arrays are characterized as cathode for asymmetric supecapacitors and exhibit high specific capacitance (880 F g at 2.5 A g), excellent rate properties (735 F g at 30 A g) and good long-term cycling stability (94.3% capacitance retention after 20 000 cycles). The proposed electrode construction strategy is favorable for fabrication of other advanced supercapacitor electrodes.

Time-resolved single molecule localization microscopy (TR-SMLM) with a 2 × 2 pixel fiber optic array camera was combined with time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) to obtain super-resolved fluorescence lifetime images of individual Cy3 dye molecules and individual colloidal CdSe/CdS/ZnS core/shell/shell semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). The characteristic blinking and bleaching behavior of the Cy3 and the blinking behavior of the QD emitters were used as distinguishing optical characteristics to isolate them and determine their centroid locations with spatial resolution below the optical diffraction limit. TCSPC was used to characterize the fluorescence lifetime and intensity corresponding to each emitter location.

It is of great significance for the development of hydrogen energy technology by exploring the new-type and high-efficiency electrocatalysts (such as single atom catalysts (SACs)) for water splitting. In this paper, by combining interface engineering and doping engineering, a unique single atom iron (Fe)-doped carbon-coated nickel sulfide (NiS) quantum wires (NiS@Fe-SACs) is prepared as a high-performance bi-functional electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Theoretical calculation and experimental results show that the addition of atomic Fe species can effectively adjust the electronic structure of sulfide, the interfacial electron transfer modulates the d-band center position, optimizing the transient state of the catalytic process and adsorption energy of hydrogen/oxygen intermediates, and greatly accelerates the kinetics of HER and OER.

In this study, a core-shell structured bimetallic nano-cube, Au@Ag NCs, was prepared by seed-mediated growth procedure. The array structure of Au@Ag NCs was achieved at the interface through the autonomous assembly technique at the three-phase boundary. Employing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a flexible carrier, the array structure was effortlessly transferred to the PDMS membrane, bypassing the need for rigid substrates through a simple "pasting" method.

One-dimensional micro-supercapacitors (1D micro-SCs) have been regarded as an efficient energy storage system to fulfill the ever-growing need for miniaturized electronics. Designing multi-dimensional nanoarchitectures on fibrous microelectrodes is an effective strategy to build a high-performance 1D micro-SC. In this work, Ni,S-doped Cu was firstly prepared on Cu wire as a micro-sized 1D current collector through Cu electrodeposition using a H bubble template and then co-doped with nickel and sulfur.

Article Synopsis
- Droplets of one fluid in another immiscible fluid typically adopt a spherical shape due to interfacial tension, but shear forces from flow can deform them, especially when stabilized by surfactants.
- Colloidal particles can also stabilize droplets differently, creating a solid-like interface under compression while introducing unique shape deformations during flow.
- The study reveals that shear forces and particle migration produce various droplet shapes, influenced by the balance of shear forces and diffusion, offering a new approach to control droplet shapes in microchannels.
