| 1 | Tailoring interlayer spacing in MXene cathodes to boost the desalination performance of hybrid capacitive deionization systems显示文摘Capacitive deionization(CDI)is a promising technology to satisfy the global need for fresh water,since it can be both economical and sustainable.While two-dimensional transition metal carbides/nitrides(MXenes)exhibit great characteristics for use as CDI electrode materials,their tightly spaced layered structure renders intercalation inefficiency.In this study,the interlayer distance of MXenes is precisely modulated by inserting different quantity of one-dimensional bacterial fibers(BC),forming freestanding MXene/BC composite electrodes.Among the studied samples,MXene/BC-33%electrode with the interlayer spacing of 15.2Åcan achieve an optimized tradeoff among various desalination performance metrics and indicators.The salt adsorption capacity(SAC),the average salt adsorption rate(ASAR),the energy normalized adsorbed salt(ENAS),and the thermodynamic energy efficiency(TEE)of the MXene/BC-33%electrode are improved by 24%,46%,13%,and 66%respectively compared with those of pure MXene electrode.While the insertion of BC improves the ion diffusion pathways and facilitates the intercalation kinetics,the desalination performance decreases when the insertion amount of BC exceeds 40%.This is attributed to the overlarge resistance of the composite and the resulting increased energy consumption.This study reveals the desalination performance tradeoffs of MXene-based electrodes with different interlayer distances and also sheds light on the fundamental ion storage mechanisms of intercalation materials in a CDI desalination system. | Bei Li Kang Sun Wenyu Xu Xiaojing Liu Ao Wang Steven Boles Bin Xu Haibo Hu Dongrui Yao | 2023 | Nano Research2023，16，5： | 1 |
| 2 | Ultra-fast polymer optical fibre Bragg grating inscription for medical devices显示文摘We report the extraordinary result of rapid fibre Bragg grating inscription in doped polymer optical fibres based on polymethyl methacrylate in only 7 ms,which is two orders of magnitude faster than the inscription times previously reported.This was achieved using a new dopant material,diphenyl disulphide,which was found to enable a fast,positive refractive index change using a low ultraviolet dose.These changes were investigated and found to arise from photodissociation of the diphenyl disulphide molecule and subsequent molecular reorganization.We demonstrate that gratings inscribed in these fibres can exhibit at least a 15 times higher sensitivity than silica glass fibre,despite their quick inscription times.As a demonstration of the sensitivity,we selected a highly stringent situation,namely,the monitoring of a human heartbeat and respiratory functions.These findings could permit the inscription of fibre Bragg gratings during the fibre drawing process for mass production,allowing costeffective,single-use,in vivo sensors among other potential uses. | Julien Bonefacino Hwa-Yaw Tam Tom S Glen Xin Cheng Chi-Fung Jeff Pun Jian Wang Po-Heng Lee Ming-Leung Vincent Tse Steven T Boles | 2017 | Light(Science & Applications)2017，6，1： | 0 |
