Article Abstract
With burgeoning considerations over energy issues and carbon emissions, energy harvesting devices such as triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are developed to provide renewable and sustainable power. Enhancing electric output and other properties of TENGs during operation is the focus of research. Herein, two species (NbSC and TaSC) of a new family of 2D materials, Transition Metal Carbo-Chalcogenides (TMCCs), are first employed to develop TENGs with doping into Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Compared with control samples, these two TMCC-based TENGs exhibit higher electric properties owing to the enhanced permittivity of PDMS composite, and the best performance is achieved at a concentration of 3 wt. ‰ with open circuit voltage (Voc) of 112 V, short circuit current (Isc) of 8.6 µA and charge transfer (Qsc) of 175 nC for NbSC based TENG, and Voc of 127 V, Isc of 9.6 µA, and Qsc of 230 nC for TaSC based TENGs. These two TENGs show a maximum power density of 1360 and 911 mW m respectively. Moreover, the tribology performance is also evaluated with the same materials, revealing that the TaSC/PDMS composite as the electronegative material presented a lower coefficient of friction (COF) than the NbSC/PDMS composite. Their applications for energy harvesting and self-powered sensing are also demonstrated.

Giant dimeric acceptors (GDAs), a sub-type of acceptor materials for organic solar cells (OSCs), have garnered much attention due to the synergistic advantages of their monomeric and polymeric acceptors, forming a well-defined molecular structure with a giant molecular weight for high efficiency and stability. In this study, for the first time, two new GDAs, DYF-V and DY2F-V are designed and synthesized for OSC operation, by connecting one vinylene linker with the mono-/di-fluorinated end group on two Y-series monomers, respectively. After fluorination, both DYF-V and DY2F-V exhibit bathochromic absorption and denser packing modes due to the stronger intramolecular charge transfer effect and torsion-free backbones.

Background: Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a secondary metabolite produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. This toxin is highly carcinogenic and toxic, posing a serious threat to human and animal health. AFB1 primarily enters the human body through contaminated food, particularly peanuts, corn, nuts, and wheat.

Organic thermoelectric (TE) materials are of great interest for researchers in waste heat recovery, especially for waste heat harvesting at near room temperature. Significant progress has been achieved in terms of their figure of merit () values recently, which has presented new insights into the development of organic TE materials. For numerous practical applications of thermoelectric generators, where waste heat is unlimited and cost negligible, the primary goal has been switched to achieve high power output density rather than improving their heat-to-electricity conversion efficiency.

With the rapid expansion of wireless networks, the deployment and long-term maintenance of distributed microwave terminals have become increasingly challenging. To address these issues, we present a bio-inspired microwave system to constitute passive and maintenance-free wireless networks. Drawing inspiration from vertebrate skeletons and skins, we employ stimuli-responsive polymer with tunable stiffness to support and protect sensitive electromagnetic structures, and synthesize self-healable skin-like polymer for system encapsulation.

Developing a self-sensitized catalyst from earth-abundant elements, capable of efficient light harvesting and electron transfer, is crucial for enhancing the efficacy of CO transformation, a critical step in environmental cleanup and advancing clean energy prospects. Traditional approaches relying on external photosensitizers, comprising 4d/5d metal complexes, involve intermolecular electron transfer, and attachment of photosensitizing arms to the catalyst necessitates intramolecular electron transfer, underscoring the need for a more integrated solution. We report a new Cu(ii) complex, K[CuNDPA] (1[K(18-crown-6)]), bearing a dipyrrin amide-based trianionic tetradentate ligand, NDPA (HL), which is capable of harnessing light energy, despite having a paramagnetic Cu(ii) centre, without any external photosensitizer and photocatalytically reducing CO to CO in acetonitrile : water (19 : 1 v/v) with a TON as high as 1132, a TOF of 566 h and a selectivity of 99%.
