An efficiency of 8.62% is observed from inverted organic photovoltaics (OPVs) composed of a bulk heterojunction (BHJ) active layer with a thickness of 280 nm. Remarkably, an efficiency of 7.24% can be obtained using OPVs with a BHJ thickness of 1000 nm. Such high efficiencies from thick BHJ composite films are attribu…

A simple and scalable coordination-derived method for the synthesis of porous Co3O4 hollow nanospheres is described here. The initially formed coordination-driven self-assembled aggregates (CDSAAs) could act as the precursor followed by calcination treatment. Then the porous hollow Co3O4 nanospheres are obtained, in w…

ABSTRACT This article presents a novel approach to compatibilize Kraft lignin with polyethylene that involves the use of modified poly (styrene‐co‐ethylene‐co‐butylene‐co‐styrene) (SEBS) as unreactive compatibilizers. As SEBS shows no compatibilizing effect on Kraft lignin‐polyethylene composites, SEBS was functionali…

In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of TCO-free, fully sprayed organic photodiodes on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. Transparent conducting films of single-wall carbon nanotubes are spray deposited from aqueous solutions. Low roughness is achieved, and films with sheet resistance value…

The molecular mechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation, the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, remain poorly understood. Genome-wide association studies uncovered a major atrial fibrillation susceptibility locus on human chromosome 4q25 in close proximity to the paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 (…

Niobium carbide, chromium carbide and niobium–chromium carbide coatings were deposited using the thermo-reactive diffusion (TRD) deposition technique on AISI D2 steel substrates, and their wear and corrosion resistance was studied. The morphology of the coatings was characterized through optical and scanning electron…

We demonstrate a new technique that requires a relatively low temperature of 670–800 °C to synthesize in 10–20 min high crystalline quality MoO 3 nano- and microbelts and ribbons. The developed technological process allows rapid synthesis of large amounts of MoO 3 nano- and microsheets, belts, and ribbons, and it can…

We study three-dimensional (3D) Dirac fermions with weak finite-range scalar potential disorder. In the clean system, the density of states vanishes quadratically at the Dirac point. Disorder is known to be perturbatively irrelevant, and previous theoretical work has assumed that the Dirac semimetal phase, characteriz…

We demonstrate the experimental realization of a multiresonant metamaterial for Lamb waves, i.e., elastic waves propagating in plates. The metamaterial effect comes from the resonances of long aluminum rods that are attached to an aluminum plate. Using time-dependent measurements, we experimentally prove that this met…

The mainline feature in metal Kβ X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) has long been recognized as an experimental marker for the spin state of the metal center. However, even within a series of metal compounds with the same nominal oxidation and spin state, significant changes are observed that cannot be explained on the…

Triboelectric nanogenerators with nature-replicated interface structures are presented. Effective contact areas of the triboelectric surfaces are largely enhanced because of the densely packed nano-in-micro hierarchical structures in nature. The enlarged contact area causes stronger triboelectric charge density, which…

It is a great challenge for polyimide to increase its permeability and at the same time to maintain its high selectivity. In this work, Tröger’s Base (TB)-based polyimides through polymerizing Tröger’s Base diamines with two kinds of anhydrides were successfully synthesized to enhance the permeability of polyimides fo…

Effective negative capacitance has been postulated in ferroelectrics because there is a hysteresis in plots of polarization-electric field. Compelling experimental evidence of effective negative capacitance is presented here at room temperature in engineered devices, where it is stabilized by the presence of a paraele…
