The development of earth-abundant catalysts toward high-efficient and durable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysis in the carbonate electrolyte is in great demand but remains a huge challenge. In this communication, we describe the development of a Co-carbonate-hydroxide nanowire array on nickel foam (CoCH/NF) via in situ electrochemical conversion of the Co(CO)(OH)·0.11HO nanowire array. When utilized as a 3D catalyst electrode for the OER in 1.0 M KHCO (pH: 8.3), as-formed CoCH/NF demands overpotential of only 332 mV to drive a geometrical catalytic current density of 10 mA cm, with its catalytic activity being maintained for at least 130 h. Impressively, it also demonstrates a high turnover frequency value of 0.22 mol O s at an overpotential of 500 mV.

Metal-halide perovskite nanowire array photodetectors based on the solution method are valuable in the field of polarized light detection because of their unique one-dimensional array structure and excellent photoelectric performance. However, the limited wettability of liquids poses challenges for achieving large-scale and high-quality perovskite nanowire arrays. To address this issue, we develop a facile method utilizing capillary condensation to grow high-quality centimeter-scale perovskite nanowire arrays.

Exploiting biomimetic perception of invisible spectra in flexible artificial human vision systems (HVSs) is crucial for real-time dynamic information processing. Nevertheless, the fast processing of motion objects in natural environments poses a challenge, necessitating that these artificial HVSs simultaneously have swift photoresponse and nonvolatile memory. Here, inspired by the human retina, we propose a flexible UV neuromorphic visual synaptic device (NeuVSD) based on GaO@GaN-composited nanowires for dynamic visual perception.

Silicon nanowires (Si NWs) have attracted considerable interest owing to their distinctive properties, which render them promising candidates for a wide range of advanced applications in electronics, photonics, energy storage, and sensing. However, challenges in achieving large-scale production, high uniformity, and shape control limit their practical use. This study presents a novel fabrication approach combining nanoimprint lithography, nanotransfer printing, and metal-assisted chemical etching to produce highly uniform and shape-controlled Si NW arrays.

Effective heat dissipation remains a grand challenge for energy-dense devices and systems. As heterogeneous integration becomes increasingly inevitable in electronics, thermal resistance at interfaces has emerged as a critical bottleneck for thermal management. However, existing thermal interface solutions are constrained by either high thermal resistance or poor reliability.
