AbstractTransparent conductive oxides (TCOs) exhibiting high near‐infrared (NIR) transmittance are one of the key materials for highly efficient thin‐film solar cells with widened spectral sensitivity. To realize excellent NIR transparency in a TCO film, developing a dopant providing high mobility (µ) carriers is quite important. Herein, it is demonstrated that W is a high‐μ dopant in rutile SnO2, which is unexpected from the conventional strategy. A combination of electrical transport property measurements and hybrid density functional theory calculations reveals that W behaves as a singly charged donor (W5+) showing minimized ionized impurity scattering. This charge state is realized by the splitting of the W 5d t2g‐states originating not only from the octahedral crystal field but also hybridization with the O 2p orbitals, whose contribution has not been considered in transition metal‐doped TCOs. Hybridization between metal d orbital and O 2p orbitals would provide a new guide for designing a novel dopant of NIR transparent conductors.

AbstractThe instability of sulfide solid electrolytes to Li anode and high‐voltage LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) cathodes limits the cyclic performance of all‐solid‐state lithium battery (ASSLB). Herein, the stability of Li6PS5Cl against Li anode is enhanced by mixing a small amount (0.32 wt%) of CuF2‐LiNO3 (CL) into Li6PS5Cl electrolyte layer to in‐situ form a mixed‐conductive‐lithiophobic and self‐healing LiF‐Li3N‐Cu solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) at Li6PS5Cl‐CL/Li interface. The critical current density (CCD) of Li6PS5Cl‐CuF2‐LiNO3 increases to 1.4 mA cm–2/1.4 mAh cm–2 at room temperature, which is much higher than that of pristine Li6PS5Cl (0.4 mA cm–2/0.4 mAh cm–2) even though mixing 0.32 wt% CL into Li6PS5Cl slightly reduces the ionic conductivity from 2.9 × 10–3 to 1.5 × 10–3 S cm–1. The compatibility of Li6PS5Cl‐CL electrolyte to single‐crystalline NMC811 (S‐NMC811) is further enhanced by adding a small amount (0.02 wt%) of AlF3 into Li6PS5Cl‐CL forming Li6PS5Cl‐CuF2‐LiNO3‐AlF3 (Li6PS5Cl‐CLA) as a cathode electrolyte and by doing Cl– on S‐NMC811 (Cl@S‐NMC811) surface. The Cl@S‐NMC811‐Li6PS5Cl‐CLA|Li6PS5Cl‐CL|Li cells with areal capacity of 2.55 mAh cm‐2 achieve a capacity retention of 69.4% after 100 cycles at 1C (1C = 200 mAh g‐1). Adding a small amount of SEI and cathode/electrolyte interphase (CEI) former into the sulfide electrolytes with minimal reduction (48.3%) of ionic conductivity is an effective method to enhance the performance of ASSLB.

Published: December 2021

AbstractNa‐free Si clathrates consisting only of Si cages are an allotrope of diamond‐structured Si. This material is promising for various device applications, such as next‐generation photovoltaics. The probable technique for synthesizing Na‐free Si clathrates is to extract Na+ from the Si cages of Na24Si136. Vacuum annealing is presently a well‐known conventional and effective approach for extracting Na. However, this study demonstrates that Na+ cannot be extracted from the surface of a single‐crystalline type‐II metallic Si clathrate (Na24Si136) in areas deeper than 150 µm. Therefore, a novel method is developed to control anisotropic ion diffusion: this is effective for various compounds with a large difference in the bonding strength between their constituent elements, such as Na24Si136 composed of covalent Si cages and weakly trapped Na+. By skillfully exploiting the difference in the chemical potentials as a driving force, Na+ is homogeneously extracted regardless of the size of the single crystal while maintaining high crystallinity. Additionally, the proposed point defect model is evaluated via density functional theory, and the migration of Na+ between the Si cages is explained. It is expected that the developed experimental and computational techniques would significantly advance material design for synthesizing thermodynamically metastable materials.

AbstractOver the past two decades, research on 2D materials has received much interest. Graphene is the most promising candidate regarding high‐frequency applications thus far due to is high carrier mobility. Here, the research about the employment of graphene in micro‐ and millimeter‐wave circuits is reviewed. The review starts with the different methodologies to grow and transfer graphene, before discussing the way graphene‐based field‐effect‐transistors (GFETs) and diodes are built. A review on different approaches for realizing these devices is provided before discussing the employment of both GFETs and graphene diodes in different micro‐ and millimeter‐wave circuits, showing the possibilities but also the limitations of this 2D material for high‐frequency applications.

Published: December 2021

AbstractLong‐acting (LA) implantable drug delivery systems (IDDS) offer an effective approach for the management or prevention of chronic conditions by sustained parenteral therapeutic administration. LA IDDS can and improve adherence to treatment regimens by minimizing dosing frequency. However, their clinical deployment is challenged by factors such as, poor drug loading capacity, which limit their lifespan and require repeated surgical replacement for continued therapy. To address these challenges, and by leveraging previous work on nanofluidic systems, a reservoir‐based IDDS that enables transcutaneous refilling of solid drug formulations through minimally invasive needle injection is presented. With 1000‐fold higher drug loading efficiency, the implant affords minimal volume and aspect ratio suitable for discrete subcutaneous deployment. Key parameters for clinical acceptability, namely, implant safety, access port robustness, and refilling method are systematically evaluated. The implant and refilling procedure are studied in rats and nonhuman primates with therapeutics used clinically for type 2 diabetes and human immunodeficiency virus pre‐exposure prophylaxis. The ability to extend drug release and maintain equivalent pharmacokinetics profiles pre‐ and post‐drug refilling is demonstrated. This technology presents a clinically viable LA approach to prolong drug release for lifelong prevention or management of chronic conditions.

AbstractThe robust fully conjugated covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are emerging as a novel type of semi‐conductive COFs for optoelectronic and energy devices due to their controllable architectures and easily tunable the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest occupied molecular orbital (LUMO) levels. However, the carrier mobility of such materials is still beyond requirements due to limited π‐conjugation. In this study, a series of new polyarylether‐based COFs are rationally synthesized via a direct reaction between hexadecafluorophthalocyanine (electron acceptor) and octahydroxyphthalocyanine (electron donor). These COFs have typical crystalline layered structures, narrow band gaps as low as ≈0.65 eV and ultra‐low resistance (1.31 × 10−6 S cm−1). Such COFs can be composed of two different metal‐sites and contribute improved carrier mobility via layer‐altered staking mode according to density functional theory calculation. Due to the narrow pore size of 1.4 nm and promising conductivity, such COFs and electrochemically exfoliated graphene based free‐standing films are fabricated for in‐plane micro‐supercapacitors, which demonstrate excellent volumetric capacitances (28.1 F cm−3) and excellent stability of 10 000 charge–discharge cycling in acidic electrolyte. This study provides a new approach toward dioxin‐linked COFs with donor‐acceptor structure and easily tunable energy levels for versatile energy storage and optoelectronic devices.

Published: December 2021

AbstractAcoustic atypicalities in speech production are argued to be potential markers of clinical features in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A recent meta‐analysis highlighted shortcomings in the field, in particular small sample sizes and study heterogeneity. We showcase a cumulative (i.e., explicitly building on previous studies both conceptually and statistically) yet self‐correcting (i.e., critically assessing the impact of cumulative statistical techniques) approach to prosody in ASD to overcome these issues. We relied on the recommendations contained in the meta‐analysis to build and analyze a cross‐linguistic corpus of multiple speech productions in 77 autistic and 72 neurotypical children and adolescents (>1000 recordings in Danish and US English). We used meta‐analytically informed and skeptical priors, with informed priors leading to more generalizable inference. We replicated findings of a minimal cross‐linguistically reliable distinctive acoustic profile for ASD (higher pitch and longer pauses) with moderate effect sizes. We identified novel reliable differences between the two groups for normalized amplitude quotient, maxima dispersion quotient, and creakiness. However, the differences were small, and there is likely no one acoustic profile characterizing all autistic individuals. We identified reliable relations of acoustic features with individual differences (age, gender), and clinical features (speech rate and ADOS sub‐scores). Besides cumulatively building our understanding of acoustic atypicalities in ASD, the study shows how to use systematic reviews and meta‐analyses to guide the design and analysis of follow‐up studies. We indicate future directions: larger and more diverse cross‐linguistic datasets, focus on heterogeneity, self‐critical cumulative approaches, and open science.Lay SummaryAutistic individuals are reported to speak in distinctive ways. Distinctive vocal production can affect social interactions and social development and could represent a noninvasive way to support the assessment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We systematically checked whether acoustic atypicalities highlighted in previous articles could be actually found across multiple recordings and two languages. We find a minimal acoustic profile of ASD: higher pitch, longer pauses, increased hoarseness and creakiness of the voice. However, there is much individual variability (by age, sex, language, and clinical characteristics). This suggests that the search for one common “autistic voice” might be naive and more fine‐grained approaches are needed.

AbstractHerein, a modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method with multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) as a dispersive solid‐phase extraction was developed for simultaneous determination of pinoxaden (PXD), cloquintocet‐mexyl (CLM), clodinafop‐propargyl ester (CPE) and its major metabolite (clodinafop, CP) in barley grass powder, barley grain, and soil using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). We found that MWCNT as an absorbent could improve the recoveries of the tested analytes, particularly CP, in complex matrices. Under the optimum conditions, the established MWCNT‐modified QuEChERS coupled with LC–MS/MS method exhibited excellent linearity (R2) of ≥0.9912, low limits of detection (LODs) and quantification (LOQs) of 0.02–0.07 and 0.29–1.26 μg kg−1, and acceptable recoveries of 80–130% with intra‐ and inter‐day relative standard deviations (RSDs) < 10.5%. No strong matrix effect (ME) has been observed on the respective samples. The method was successfully applied to monitor the tested analytes in the representative field incurred samples. Conclusively, the proposed method is sensitive and reliable and could be used to monitor the residues of PDX, CLM, CPE, and CP in complicated agro‐products and soil matrices.

AbstractConstipation and stercoral ulcer are risk factors associated with Hirschsprung's disease (HD); long‐term follow‐up is, thus, essential. In postoperative HD associated with Down syndrome (DS) with intellectual disability, vigilant follow‐up is required to avoid severe constipation because DS predisposes the patients to constipation and caregivers cannot easily understand the symptoms.

Glass facades play an important role in modern architecture: they open the view to the outside and let natural light inside. Their transparency entails certain energetic challenges, which can be addressed in different ways. Technologies can support the design process, in order to build sustainable facades and optimize overall use of resources. Today simulation and modelling software are already a useful tool during the design phase; in the future adaptive facade systems could provide answers to the quest for more energy and resource efficiency. This paper presents recent research work as well as innovative case studies, which show a variety of answers to the demand for more sustainable facades.
