Phase-only spatial light modulators (SLMs) are widely used to engineer the phase of light in various applications. However, liquid-crystal-on-silicon SLMs have undesirable spatial variations in phase response and optical flatness across the SLM panel, which must be compensated for accurate phase control. Here, we introduce a simple and fast way to simultaneously extract these two types of SLM nonuniformities at single-pixel resolution using Twyman-Green interferometry without a piezoelectric transducer. By modulating the interference intensity via the SLM gray level, our approach requires N times fewer interferograms than typical N-step phase shift interferometry (PSI), while providing flatness correction as accurate as PSI. In practice, our calibration method works well with as few as 18 interferograms, which can be quickly acquired without concern for phase drift. We detail the calibration procedure and discuss the performance of our calibration.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) was evaluated as a promising technology for constructing photocatalytic reactors due to its inherent ability to produce complex geometries with high precision and customization. In this work, a 3D structure was designed to achieve a good light distribution inside a cylindrical batch reactor and printed using the stereolithography (SLA) technique. A hybrid material composed of a commercial photoreactive resin (Formlabs Clear V4) and the benchmark photocatalyst TiO P25 Evonik (1 wt%) was prepared and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and rheological and mechanical methods.

Separators are critical components of zinc-metal batteries (ZMBs). Despite their high ionic conductivity and excellent electrolyte retention, the widely used glass fiber (GF) membranes suffer from poor mechanical stability and cannot suppress dendrite growth, leading to rapid battery failure. Contrarily, polymer-based separators offer superior mechanical strength and facilitate more homogeneous zinc (Zn) deposition.

The lattice-strain engineering of high-entropy-oxide nanoparticles (HEO-NPs) is considered an effective strategy for achieving outstanding performance in various applications. However, lattice-strain engineering independent of the composition variation still confronts significant challenges, with existing modulation techniques difficult to achieve mass production. Herein, a novel continuous-flow synthesis strategy by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) is proposed, which air varying flow rates is introduced for fast quenching to alter the cooling rate and control the lattice strain of HEO-NPs.

Photostimulus-responsive fluorescent materials are promising for anticounterfeiting and UV printing due to rapid response and simple preparation. In this paper, we propose a novel strategy to prepare photostimulus-responsive materials SP@HOF-olefin by integrating the photochromic molecule spiropyran (SP) with postsynthetic modified hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOF-olefin). Compared to SP@HOF, the composites SP@HOF-olefin exhibit enhanced photochromic properties, such as a fast response speed, pronounced color contrast, and exceptional fatigue resistance.
