High sensitivity and spatial recognition of pressure sensors are important for application of the sensors in electronic skins, and in situ visualization is a practical and effective approach to identifying pressure information. Here, we present a facial strategy to achieve in situ pressure information recognition that is visible to the naked eye in coloring form by designing an HPO/PVA film with hemispheric microstructures in an integrated electrochromic pressure sensor. The device can be applied for different stress scenarios within the range of 0-250 kPa by adjusting the spacing of hemispheric microstructures and can identify the magnitude, position, shape, and duration of the pressure. Furthermore, the device can be used repeatedly by erasing under a 1 V bias, and more obvious information can be displayed under strong sunlight compared with light-emitting equipment. This strategy provides new insight into the design of flexible electronics for in situ and instantaneous pressure visualization in the future.

Fiber Optic Boltzmann Thermometry in a Doped Halide Double Perovskite for Dynamic Temperature Monitoring in Pouch Cell.

March 2025

The State Key Laboratory of Luminescent Materials and Devices, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Fiber Laser Materials and Applied Techniques, Guangdong Engineering Technology Research and Development Center of Special Optical Fiber Materials and Devices, School of Physics and Optoelectronics, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, 510641, China.

Temperature evolution is critical in monitoring the status of Li-ion batteries (LIBs), however, it is a challenge to develop precise thermometry down to the nanoscale regime and instantly detect the internal temperature of pouch-type LIBs. Herein, a Boltzmann type luminescence thermometry is designed and prepared in halide double perovskite CsNaLuCl:Yb/Er upconversion nanocrystals and further fabricate the flexible fluorescence polymer optical fiber (POF) sensor for their in situ and real-time temperature monitoring. The thermally enhanced upconversion luminescence of the nanocrystals thermometry ensures sensitive temperature sensing in a wide temperature range, and the POF sensor exhibits stable and repeatable responses to temperature with a deviation of ±0.

Monitoring coastal dynamics is critical for the effective protection of coastal environments. Satellite remote sensing data offers significant potential to support this monitoring while also addressing the considerable challenges posed by the rapidly changing environmental conditions in coastal regions, such as tidal levels and currents. These challenges are particularly pronounced in meso- and macrotidal coastal areas.

Synthesis of titania/activated carbon composites for the synergistic adsorption and photocatalysis of lindane in aqueous solutions.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences, Transport Phenomena and Porous Media Laboratory, Stadiou Str, Platani, 26504, Patras, Greece.

Lindane (LIND) is an organochlorine pesticide, belonging to the persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which are bioaccumulative with detrimental effects on human health and environment. In the present work, activated carbon (AC) produced from coffee waste after activation with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and pyrolysis at 800 °C (CWAC-NaOH-800) is tested as adsorbent of LIND, and as substrate for the synthesis of hybrid adsorbent/photocatalytic materials of titanium oxide with activated carbon (TiO/AC) via the sol-gel method, aiming at the synergistic adsorption and photocatalysis of LIND. Three different TiO/AC materials were synthesized at mass ratio of TiO to AC equal to 2.

Legged Robot with Tensegrity Feature Bionic Knee Joint.

February 2025

Key Laboratory of Bionic Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun, 130022, China.

Legged robots, designed to emulate human functions, have greatly influenced numerous sectors. However, the focus on continuously improving the joint motors and control systems of existing legged robots not only increases costs and complicates maintenance but also results in failure to accurately mimic the functionality of the human skeletal‒muscular system. This study introduces a bionic legged robot structure that leverages the tensegrity principle, drawing inspiration from the human leg's structural morphology and kinematic mechanisms.
