Experimental constraints and sample limitations can preclude ideal measurements of electrical transport properties of materials. In such situations, AC electrical transport methods are often employed due to a significant increase in signal-to-noise ratio they can provide. However, dynamic effects that are not often accounted for may be present that may modify the signals in these measurements. In particular, dynamic filtering effects are prominent in small, granular, and heterogeneous materials. We demonstrate that a lock-in amplifier based circuit can distinguish between these DC transport and AC filtering effects. We further demonstrate that this filtering can reveal distinct signatures of magnetic transitions while providing a measure of sample quality.

Bioelectrodes function as a critical interface for signal transduction between living organisms and electronics. Conducting polymers (CPs), particularly poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate), are among the most promising materials for bioelectrodes, due to their electrical performance, high compactness, and ease of processing, but often suffer from degradation or de-doping even in some common environments (e.g.

Photodegradation of antibiotics based on photocatalytic semiconductors is a promising option to alleviate water pollution. Despite its limitations, TiO-based photocatalysts are still the most widely studied materials for pollutant degradation. In this work, a pomegranate-like g-CN/C/TiO nano-heterojunction was constructed using the hydrothermal-calcination method, consisting of interconnected small crystals with a dense structure and closely contacted interface.

Thermoelectric (TE) materials offer a promising solution to reduce green gas emissions, decrease energy consumption, and improve energy management due to their ability to directly convert heat into electricity and vice versa. Despite their potential, integrating new TE materials into bulk TE devices remains a challenge. To change this paradigm, the preparation of highly efficient tetrahedrite nanocomposites is proposed.

Background: In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) among children in China. To enhance the efficacy of ASD intervention apps and streamline the design process for designers, this study proposes an interface design research method for ASD intervention apps based on the Kano-entropy weight method.
Methods: First, the basic research process for ASD children is extracted by combining the characteristics of the Kano model and the entropy method.

Separators, regulating the ion transport channels between electrodes, are crucial for maintaining the properties of electrochemical batteries. However, sluggish ion transport and desolvation kinetics in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) cause uneven ion flux at the separator-electrode interface, accelerating Zn dendrite growth. Herein, we systematically dissect ionic favorable hydrogen bond chemistry in a hybrid separator engineered through rational boron nitride (BN) doping into polyacrylonitrile (PAN) separators.
