AI Article Synopsis

  • The study highlights the influence of substrate properties on the photothermal reduction process of graphene oxide (GO) when converted to reduced graphene oxide (rGO) using a 405 nm laser.
  • The effectiveness of rGO conversion is tested on three types of flexible membranes—nylon, cellulose acetate, and nitrocellulose—resulting in significantly low sheet resistance values.
  • The research also explores the application of these flexible rGO materials as temperature sensors, with nylon membranes exhibiting the best sensitivity due to their superior surface quality.

Article Abstract

In this work, we demonstrate the impact of the photothermal reduction quality of graphene oxide (GO), which is affected by the material composition, roughness, and thermal properties of the membrane substrates. We show high efficiency reduced graphene oxide (rGO) conversion by applying a 405 nm pulsed laser in ambient conditions onto different flexible substrates. Three filter membranes, such as nylon, cellulose acetate, and nitrocellulose, are used as rGO thin film substrates, achieving sheet resistance of 51 ± 2, 58 ± 3, and 620 ± 40 Ω sq, respectively, which has been the lowest resistance reported in ambient conditions. Finally, we demonstrate that such flexible materials can be applied as temperature sensors ranging from 35 °C to 100 °C. The best sensitivity is achieved using nylon membranes, showing a smoother rGO surface and lower defect density.

As one of the core parts of the Internet-of-things (IOTs), multimodal sensors have exhibited great advantages in fields such as human-machine interaction, electronic skin, and environmental monitoring. However, current multimodal sensors substantially introduce a bloated equipment architecture and a complicated decoupling mechanism. In this work we propose a multimodal fusion sensing platform based on a power-dependent piecewise linear decoupling mechanism, allowing four parameters to be perceived and decoded from the passive wireless single component, which greatly broadens the configurable freedom of a sensor in the IOT.

The world of nanoscales in fluidics is the frontier where the continuum of fluid mechanics meets the atomic, and even quantum, nature of matter. While water dynamics remains largely classical under extreme confinement, several experiments have recently reported coupling between water transport and the electronic degrees of freedom of the confining materials. This avenue prompts us to reconsider nanoscale hydrodynamic flows under the perspective of interacting excitations, akin to condensed matter frameworks.

To enable open environment application of artificial photosynthesis, the direct utilization of environmental CO via an oxygen-tolerant reductive procedure is necessary. Herein, we introduce an in situ growth strategy for fabricating two-dimensional heterojunctions between indium porphyrin metal-organic framework (In-MOF) and single-layer graphene oxide (GO). Upon illumination, the In-MOF/GO heterostructure facilitates a tandem CO capture and photocatalytic reduction on its hydroxylated In-node, prioritizing the reduction of dilute CO even in the presence of air-level O.
