In this paper, a wideband optically transparent absorber based on multilayer indium tin oxide (ITO) films is designed, fabricated, and measured. The structure uses polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and ITO films to replace the dielectric substrate and metal pattern of the traditional absorber to achieve optical transparency characteristics. The absorption of the proposed absorber is above 90% from 4.92 to 24.55 GHz and exceeding 95% in the range of 5.74 ∼ 21.85 GHz, respectively, under normal transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarized incidences. Moreover, it shows outstanding stability with various incident angles over a wide range. A prototype of the proposed absorber is fabricated and experimentally verified, with good measurement results. The optical transparency and great absorption performance make the absorber a promising candidate for transparent electromagnetic compatibility.

Energy crisis and environmental pollution are two central themes of contemporary research towards achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). Material chemistry is the chief discipline that can resolve glitches in these areas through the appropriate design of chemical compounds with multifunctional properties. In this regard, two stable coordination polymers (CPs) were synthesised in this work using Zn(II) (3d) and Cd(II) (d) metal nodes with 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate () as the bridging ligand and monodentate pyridyl-N coordinated 9-fluoren-2-yl-pyridin-4-ylmethylene-amine (flpy) as the fluorogenic partner.

The tunability of the energy bandgap in the near-infrared (NIR) range uniquely positions colloidal lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dots (QDs) as a versatile material to enhance the performance of existing perovskite and silicon solar cells in tandem architectures. The desired narrow bandgap (NBG) PbS QDs exhibit polar (111) and nonpolar (100) terminal facets, making effective surface passivation through ligand engineering highly challenging. Despite recent breakthroughs in surface ligand engineering, NBG PbS QDs suffer from uncontrolled agglomeration in solid films, leading to increased energy disorder and trap formation.

The manufacturing of thin films through selective laser sintering of micro/nanoparticles is an emerging technology that has been developing rapidly over the last two decades owing to its digitization, efficiency, and good adaptability to various materials. However, high-quality laser sintering of different materials remains a challenge: ceramic particles are difficult to be sintered due to low absorbance; metallic particles are prone to oxidation; semiconductor particles are difficult to process for performance enhancement due to high stress. In this work, a new approach is proposed that employs an additional Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) sacrificial layer to assist laser sintering of different functional materials, which detaches after sintering without contaminating the target material.
