Published: March 2021

A novel transparent conductive conductor composed of a silver nanowire (AgNW) network and MoO on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, with contemporaneously improved adhesion and reduced resistivity, is prepared using the full-solution process without high-temperature annealing. Under the optimized conditions, a MoO/AgNW/MoO multilayer is achieved, which shows much superior optoelectronic performance to that obtained from ITO with a high optical transmittance of 89.2% and a low sheet resistance of ∼12.5 Ω/sq. Unlike pure AgNW films, the sheet resistance is little changed after the tape and ultrasonication tests, illustrating a very strong adhesion to the PET substrate after the encapsulation of MoO. Moreover, the multilayer film exhibits excellent stability to resist mechanical bending and acid damage. In addition, the successful implementation of the flexible transparent heater demonstrates the practical application value of the electrode.

The conductivity of AgNWs electrodes can be enhanced by incorporating Ag grids, thereby facilitating the development of large-area flexible organic solar cells (FOSCs). Ag grids from vacuum evaporation offer the advantages of simple film formation, adjustable thickness, and unique structure. However, the complex 3D multi-component structure of AgNWs electrodes will exacerbate the aggregation of large Ag particles, causing the device short circuits.

We report a Tuning Fork Scanning Electrochemical Cell Microscopy (TF-SECCM) technique for providing morphological and electrochemical information on single redox-active entities. This new operation configuration of SECCM utilizes an electrolyte-filled nanopipette tip mounted onto a tuning fork force sensor to obtain a precise tip-sample distance control and surface morphological mapping capabilities. Redox activities of regions of interest (ROIs) can be investigated by scanning electrode potential by moving the nanopipette to any target regions while maintaining the constant force engagement of the tip with the sample.

The development of viscous-crude oil and water separation technology is important for overcoming pollution caused by oil spills. Although some separators responding to light, electric, and temperature have been proposed, their poor structural homogeneity and inferior controllability, together with weak capillary forces, hinder the rapid salvage of viscous crude oil. Herein, a Joule-heated hydrophobic porous oil/water separator is reported, which has advantages of low energy consumption (169.

Accurate and rapid diagnosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is essential for high-quality medical services. Nonetheless, the current diagnostic platform still has challenges in rapidly and accurately analysing clinical samples. Here, we prepared a highly stable, repeatable and sensitive gold-plated silver core-shell nanowire (Ag@AuNWs) for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) metabolic fingerprint diagnosis of TBI.
