Published: September 2021

The field experiment was conducted, in the fields of Hamelmalo Agricultural College, to evaluate the response of sowing-dates and PK (Phosphorous and Potassium) fertilizer levels on phenological aspects, yield and yield components of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L). The experiment was done through a factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) where each treatment was replicated three times. The two factors were: sowing-dates which was composed of three sowing dates; namely, middle kiremti (end of July i.e., mid-summer), late kiremti (middle of August- late-summer) and early qewee (early September-early autumn) and P: K fertilizers which was composed of five rates (0kg/ha, 125 kg/ha (75:50), 150 kg/ha (90:60), 175 kg/ha (105:70) and 200 kg/ha (120:80). Results showed that, the highest significant mean values of leaf area (389.4cm2), leaf numbers (28.2) were recorded from middle kiremti sowing date coupled with 320kg/ha and 175kg/ha PK rates respectively. Besides this the highest significant values of both number of fruits (43.8) and total yield (15.26t/ha) were obtained from highest PK rate coupled with late kiremti and middle kiremti respectively. The sole effects of the PK rates as well as the sowing dates were found to be significant on all the parameters mentioned above including individual fruit weight. It is therefore the sowing during late kiremti coupled with application of 200kg/ha kg/ha was the best for getting the best economic returns.

AbstractPoly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) has emerged as a promising neural interface material, but the weak adhesion of PEDOT to substrates adversely affects its reliability and practical application. Although adhesive interfacial layers have been explored to enhance the adhesion of PEDOT, their poor conductivity seriously compromises the performance of neural electrodes. It is a great challenge to develop an adhesive interfacial layer with excellent electrical properties. Herein, utilizing the advantages of polyindole derivatives, conductive polymers which have various functional groups for potential interface bonding, a conductive, adhesive, and biocompatible poly(5‐nitroindole) (PIN‐5NO2) interfacial layer is developed to enhance the adhesion of PEDOT to metal electrodes. The conjugated PIN‐5NO2 with its superior electrical property can be prepared by electropolymerization of 5‐nitroindole; however, the electrografting of amino groups, which is reduced from nitro groups in 5‐nitroindole can provide strong adhesion with the gold (Au) substrate. With PIN‐5NO2 as an adhesive interfacial layer, the resultant Au/PIN‐5NO2/PEDOT electrode exhibits excellent electrochemical property, superb stability, and biocompatibility for high‐performance neural interface. The in vivo evaluation of Au/PIN‐5NO2/PEDOT electrocorticographic microelectrodes demonstrates superior capacity to capture the neural dynamics of the brain. The novel strategy would offer a new insight for the construction of high‐performance neural electrodes with high stability for neural interface application.

AbstractRobust multi‐level spin memory with the ability to write information electrically is a long‐sought capability in spintronics, with great promise for applications. Here, nonvolatile and highly energy‐efficient magnetization switching is achieved in a single‐material device formed of van‐der‐Waals (vdW) topological ferromagnet Fe3GeTe2, whose magnetic information can be readily controlled by a tiny current. Furthermore, the switching current density and power dissipation are about 400 and 4000 times smaller than those of the existing spin‐orbit‐torque magnetic random access memory based on conventional magnet/heavy‐metal systems. Most importantly, multi‐level states, switched by electrical current are also demonstrated, which can dramatically enhance the information capacity density and reduce computing costs. Thus, the observations combine both high energy efficiency and large information capacity density in one device, showcasing the potential applications of the emerging field of vdW magnets in the field of spin memory and spintronics.

Published: September 2021

AbstractZinc anodes have attracted widespread attention for their intrinsic safety, low cost, and abundant resources, but still suffer from severe irreversibility due to spontaneous corrosion and nonplanar dendrite formation in aqueous electrolytes. In this work, a 3D stacked lamellar matrix (SLM) composed of ZnF2/Zn3(PO4)2/CFX is elaborately designed on a Zn substrate via simple chemical/electrochemical reactions, delivering enhanced thermodynamic stability and rapid zinc ions transport kinetics. The abundant ion conduction channels in SLM could also redistribute Zn2+ ions flux and further suppress the dendrite growth. With these synergetic effects, the SLM‐Zn anodes enable exceptional performance, including a high depth of discharge (90%) in a Zn|Zn symmetrical cell for 187 h, steady charge/discharge process (94.1% retention of SLM‐Zn|MnO2 full cell for 1000 cycles at a harsh rate of 15 C), and low negative/positive capacity ratio (≈3.3) in SLM‐Zn|AC hybrid supercapacitor with limited Zn anode (10 µm) and high‐load cathode (≈1.77 mA h cm−2), which greatly promotes the application of aqueous Zn‐ion energy system under practical conditions.

Published: September 2021

AbstractMetasurfaces have emerged as a breakthrough platform for manipulating light at the nanoscale and enabling on‐demand optical functionalities for next‐generation biosensing, imaging, and light‐generating photonic devices. However, translating this technology to practical applications requires low‐cost and high‐throughput fabrication methods. Due to the limited choice of materials with suitable optical properties, it is particularly challenging to produce metasurfaces for the technologically relevant mid‐infrared spectral range. These constraints are overcome by realizing functional metasurfaces on almost completely transparent free‐standing metal‐oxide membranes. A versatile nanofabrication process is developed and implemented for highly efficient dielectric and plasmonic mid‐infrared metasurfaces with wafer‐scale and complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS)‐compatible manufacturing techniques. The advantages of this method are revealed by demonstrating highly uniform and functional metasurfaces, including high‐Q structures enabling fine spectral selectivity, large‐area metalenses with diffraction‐limited focusing capabilities, and birefringent metasurfaces providing polarization control at record‐high conversion efficiencies. Aluminum plasmonic devices and their integration into microfluidics for real‐time and label‐free mid‐infrared biosensing of proteins and lipid vesicles are further demonstrated. The versatility of this approach and its compatibility with mass‐production processes bring infrared metasurfaces markedly closer to commercial applications, such as thermal imaging, spectroscopy, and biosensing.

AbstractPores in a solid can effectively reduce thermal conduction, but they are not favored in thermoelectric materials due to simultaneous deterioration of electrical conductivity. Conceivably, creating a porous structure may endow thermoelectric performance enhancement provided that overwhelming reduction of electrical conductivity can be suppressed. This work demonstrates such an example, in which a porous structure is formed leading to a significant enhancement in the thermoelectric figure of merit (zT). By a unique BiI3 sublimation technique, pore networks can be introduced into tetrahedrite Cu12Sb4S13‐based materials, accompanied by changes in their hierarchical structures. The addition of a small quantity of BiI3 (0.7 vol%) results in a ≈72% reduction in the lattice thermal conductivity, whereas the electrical conductivity is improved due to unexpected enhanced carrier mobility. As a result, an enhanced zT of 1.15 at 723 K in porous tetrahedrite and a high conversion efficiency of 6% at ΔT = 419 K in a fabricated segmented single‐leg based on this porous material are achieved. This work offers an effective way to concurrently modulate the electrical and thermal properties during the synthesis of high‐performance porous thermoelectric materials.
