Infrared metasurface anomalous reflector with ultra-high efficiency and broad band operation is designed via multi-sheet graphene layer with triangular holes. The anomalous reflection angle covers the range of 10° to 90° with the efficiency higher than 80%, over a broad spectral range from 7 μm-40 μm of infrared spectrum. It reaches above 92% at the center wavelength in the spectral response. By increasing the periodicity of phase gradient, we can expand this frequency band even further without losing efficiency. The compact design of metasurface affords the adjustability of the electrochemical potential level of graphene by means of gating. Additionally, the impact of the number of graphene sheets for the optimum efficiency of the proposed structure is investigated. By adding the secondary graphene metasurface with opposite direction of phase gradient, we demonstrated the tunability of the reflection angle from θ to -θ with bias voltage.

Evaluating the practical utility of endangered plant species is crucial for their conservation. Nevertheless, numerous endangered plants, including Sinocalycanthus chinensis, lack historical usage data, leading to a paucity of guidance in traditional pharmacological research. This gap impedes their development and potential utilization.

Unipolar barrier architecture is designed to enhance the photodetector's sensitivity by inducing highly asymmetrical barriers, a higher barrier for blocking majority carriers to depressing dark current, and a low minority carrier barrier without impeding the photocurrent flow through the channel. Depressed dark current without block photocurrent is highly desired for uncooled Long-wave infrared (LWIR) photodetection, which can enhance the sensitivity of the photodetector. Here, an excellent unipolar barrier photodetector based on multi-layer (ML) graphene (G) is developed, WSe, and PtSe (G-WSe-PtSe) van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure, in which extremely low dark current of 1.

This research presents a systematic review of the application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs, compounds with high vapor pressure at ambient temperature and normal pressure, are widely present in a variety of industrial and living environments. VOCs are not only hazardous to the environment but also have a severe impact on human health.

Biomass-derived porous carbon (PC) has emerged as a promising candidate for electrode materials in energy storage applications, effective pretreatment of the precursor is a key strategy for enhancing the electrochemical performance of PC. However, challenges remain in achieving this goal through environmentally friendly, simple, and efficient methods. In this paper, a dual-frequency ultrasonic-assisted enzymolysis strategy combined with carbonization-activation method was proposed to prepare high-performance garlic peel-derived PC (DUGPC) for supercapacitors.
