Herein, a graphene-dielectric metasurface with the function of stably tunable and fast responding on the chiroptics is theoretically investigated and numerically demonstrated. Via utilizing the intrinsic thermo-optical effect of the silicon, the circular dichroism (CD) peak position can be linearly scaled with a spectral sensitivity of up to 0.06 nm/K by artificially adjusting the temperature. Moreover, a perfectly adjusting manipulation with a wavelength shift of full width at half maximum for the resonant spectrum and the simultaneously maintained CD values can be realized by a slight temperature variation of ∼0.8 K. Additionally, we take a graphene layer as the heating source to actually demonstrate the ultra-fast thermal generation. Applying an input voltage of 2 V to the graphene with only 10 µs can rapidly increase the metasurface temperature of up to 550 K. Such performances hold the platform with wide applications in functional chiroptics and optoelectronics.

Fabrication of traditional 3D cell culturing scaffolds requires synthetic polymers or additives, posing a risk of poor biocompatibility and low biodegradability. Pickering emulsions stabilized by biobased nanomaterials can be used as templates to produce scaffolds with facile tunable porous structure, excellent cytocompatibility, and biodegradability. In this study, very stable high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPE) with an oil content of 80% were successfully prepared by xylan hydrate nanocrystals (XNC).

Developing energy- and time-efficient strategies to derive high-performance non-precious electrocatalysts for anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), especially stably working at industrial-demanding current density, is still a big challenge. In this work, a concise molten salt erosion scenario was devised to rapidly modulate the smooth surface of the commercial NiMo foam substrate into the rough, electronically coupled, and hierarchically porous Ni/Fe/Mo(oxy)hydroxide catalyst layer assembled by the nanosphere array. This self-supported catalyst is super-hydrophilic for the alkaline electrolyte and distinguished by a balanced Mo leaching/surface-readsorption process to tune the metal d band center and electronic perturbation.
