In view of the possible dust pollution of atmospheric caused by large open-air piles, a scheme of using butterfly porous fences is proposed. Based on the actual cause of large open-air piles, this study makes an in-depth study on the wind shielding effect of butterfly porous fences. The effects of hole shape and bottom gap on the flow characteristics are investigated behind the butterfly porous fence with the porosity of 0.273 through the combined methods of computational fluid dynamics and validating PIV experiments. The streamlines distribution and X-velocity behind the porous fence of numerical simulation are in good agreement with the experimental results and based on the research group's previous work, the numerical model is feasible. The concept of the wind reduction ratio is proposed to quantitatively evaluate the wind shielding effect of the porous fence. The results show that the butterfly porous fence with circular holes provided the best shelter effect with the wind reduction ratio of 78.34%, and the optimal bottom gap ratio is about 0.075 with the highest wind reduction ratio of 80.1%. When a butterfly porous fence is applied on site, the diffusion range of dust in open-air piles is significantly reduced compared with that without a fence. In conclusion, the circular holes with the bottom gap ratio of 0.075 are suitable for the butterfly porous fence in practical applications and provide a solution for wind-induced control in large open-air piles.

Postoperative tumor treatment necessitates a delicate balance between eliminating residual tumor cells and promoting surgical wound healing. Addressing this challenge, we harness the innovation and elegance of nature's ingenuity to develop a butterfly-wing-inspired photoactive nanofiber patch (WingPatch), aimed at advancing postoperative care. WingPatch is fabricated using a sophisticated combination of electrostatic spinning and spraying techniques, incorporating black rice powder (BRP) and konjac glucomannan (KGM) into a corn-derived polylactic acid (PLA) nanofiber matrix.

Overall water splitting is a promising technology for sustainable hydrogen production, but the primary challenge is removing bubbles from the electrode surface quickly to increase hydrogen production. Inspired by the directional fluid transport properties of natural biological surfaces like Nepenthes peristome and Morpho butterfly's wings, here a strategy is demonstrated to achieve highly efficient overall water splitting by a bubble-guidance electrode, that is, an anisotropic groove-micro/nanostructured porous electrode (GMPE). Gradient groove micro/nanostructures on the GMPE serve as high-speed bubble transmission channels and exhibit superior bubble-guidance capabilities.

Organic piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) are attractive in harvesting mechanical energy for various self-powering systems. However, their practical applications are severely restricted by their low output open circuit voltage. To address this issue, herein, we prepared two two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs, CityU-13 and CityU-14), functionalized with fluorinated alkyl chains for PENGs.

Residual stress in metal halide perovskite films intimately affects the photovoltaic figure of merit and longevity of perovskite solar cells. A delicate management of the crystallization kinetics is critical to the preparation of high-quality perovskite films. Only very limited methods, however, are available to regulate the residual stress of a perovskite film in a controllable manner, particularly for a perovskite film fabricated by a two-step method.
