A field experiment was conducted at Potato Research Station, S. D. Agricultural University, Deesa during 2018-19 and 2019-20 for evaluation of efficacy of insecticides against whitefly in potato. The seven different treatments viz. T1: Control, T2: Seed treatment with imidacloprid (200 SL) @ 0.04% followed by foliar sprays of imidacloprid @60 gm a.i./ha at 85% emergence + second spray with thiamethoxam 25WG @100g a.i./ha, T3: Foliar spray of diafenthiuron 50WP 350 g a.i. at 85% emergence, T4: Foliar spray of diafenthiuron 50WP 350 g a.i. at 85% emergence followed by second spray of diafenthiuron after 10 days, T5: Foliar spray of castor oil @0.05% at 85% emergence, T6: Foliar spray of diafenthiuron 50WP 350 g a.i. at 85% emergence mixed with castor oil @0.05%, T7: Foliar spray of diafenthiuron 50WP 350 g a.i. at 85% emergence mixed with castor oil @0.05% by second spray with diafenthiuron after 10 days. Based on pooled data of two years, the significantly highest per cent reduction (i.e. 68.57 %) after 2nd spray was recorded in T7 i.e. foliar spray of diafenthiuron 50WP 350 g a.i. at 85% emergence mixed with castor oil @0.05% by second spray with diafenthiuron after 10 days which was at par with T4 (Foliar spray of diafenthiuron 50WP 350 g a.i. at 85% emergence followed by second spray of diafenthiuron after 10 days). The tuber highest yield and benefit cost ratio were also recorded with T7.

AbstractDespite its merits of high specific capacity and intrinsic safety for aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs), Zn metal as anode suffers from dendritic growth and severe corrosion during battery operation. Here, an electrolyte surfactant of succinimide (SI) that occupies the compact region of the electrical double layer (EDL) at the Zn/electrolyte interface, which protects the Zn surface from the parasitic corrosion in aqueous electrolytes is reported. More importantly, both theoretical calculation and electrochemical analysis demonstrate that the occupation of SI at the EDL can restrict the self‐diffusion of Zn adatoms and tune interfacial reaction kinetics during Zn deposition, thereby promoting small and dense nuclei rather than large Zn dendrites. Accordingly, SI surfactants enable a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.95% and a long cumulative plated capacity over 6800 mAh cm−2at 20 mA cm−2for 10 mAh cm−2. Moreover, the feasibility of SI is also demonstrated on a long‐term cycling stability in Zn‐VS2batteries.

AbstractPhotocatalytic H2O2 production by conversion of O2 in aqueous solution is often challenged by the use of sacrificial agents, the separation of powdery photocatalysts, solution, and contaminants, and low activity of photocatalyst. Herein, a membrane of covalent furan‐benzimidazole‐linked polymer (Furan‐BILP) with both O‐ and N‐containing heterocycles bonded via OCCN is reported for the first time as a photocatalyst to harvest clean H2O2 in pure water with high‐performance. A coordination‐polymer hard template strategy is developed to produce Furan‐BILP hollow microfibers that can be further assembled into membranes with desired sizes. The resultant Furan‐BILP membrane directly delivers clean H2O2 solution as the product with a high H2O2 production rate of 2200 µmol g−1 h−1 in pure water. Density functional theory calculations and experiment results indicate that the C atom from Furan ring on the linkage binds to the adsorbed OOH*, the H atom of OOH* forms a hydrogen bond with the N atom in the benzimidazole ring, thus the intermediate six‐membered ring structure stabilizes the OOH* and favors 2e‐ORR. The strategy using both molecular engineering to tune the electronic structure and macrostructural engineering to shape the morphology may be applied to design other coordination organic polymer photocatalysts with further improved performance.

AbstractN‐doped carbons, as promising anode materials for energy storage, are generally modified by the additional heteroatoms (B, P, and S) doping to further promote the electrochemical performance. However, the promotion mechanism by such additional doping, especially its interplay with N‐containing species, remains unclear. Herein, by adopting N/S co‐doped carbon as a model system, it is found that S‐doping can significantly improve the content of pyridinic‐N, i.e., the most energetically favorable N type for K+ storage. Theoretical calculations reveal that such S‐induced pyridinic‐N improvement possibly originates from its catalytic effect that can facilitate the transition from edge quaternary‐N to pyridinic‐N. The resultant high content of pyridinic‐N, together with the additional S species, ensures abundant active sites for K+ storage. Accordingly, the N/S co‐doped carbon anode delivers both a high reversible capacity (422.9 mA h g−1 at 0.05 A g−1) and an impressive cyclic stability (249.6 mA h g−1 at 1 A g−1 over 4000 cycles). Moreover, in/ex situ characterizations further verify the merits of N/S co‐doped carbon from the perspective of compositional evolution and structural stability. This study unravels the origin of enhanced K+ storage by N/S co‐doping, which also helps to understand the synergistic effects of other heteroatoms co‐doping systems.

AbstractLithium‐rich layered oxides (LROs) are one class of the most competitive high‐capacity cathode materials due to their anion/cation synergistic redox activity. However, excessive oxidation of the oxygen sublattices can induce serious oxygen loss and structural imbalance. Hence, a near‐surface reconfiguration strategy by fluorinating graphene is proposed to precisely regulate Mn3+/Mn4+and O2−/(O2)n−redox couples for remarkably stabilizing high‐capacity LROs and realizing the simultaneous reduction of the lattice stress, regulation of the Mn metal at a lower charge state, and construction of 3D Li+diffusion channels. Combining with a highly conductive graphene‐coating layer, the surface oxygen loss, transition metal dissolution, and electrolyte catalytic decomposition are suppressed. Benefiting from this synergy, the modified LROs disclose higher initial Coulombic efficiency and discharge‐specific capacity and improve cyclability compared with pristine LROs. Further, it is revealed that the F−impact becomes easier for the O sites at the lattice interface ofC2/mandRmto sufficiently buffer lattice stress. Moreover, lithium ions coupled to the doped F atoms at the lattice interface migrate to the Ni‐richRmlattice sites with lower migration energies. This consolidated understanding will open new avenues to regulate reversible oxygen redox of LROs for high‐energy‐density lithium‐ion batteries.

AbstractVarious clean energy storage and conversion systems highly depend on rational design of efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reactions. Increasing both gas molecular diffusion and intrinsic activity is critical to boosting its efficiency for bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis. However, controllable synthesis of catalysts that combines gas molecular diffusion and intrinsic activity remains a fundamental challenge. Herein, a two‐step synthetic strategy is adopted to fabricate a composite oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)/oxygen evolution reaction (OER) bifunctional catalyst (P‐Ag‐Co(OH)2), of which, atomic Ag is anchored in reactive oxygen atoms around nanopores of Co(OH)2 nanosheets. Abundant nanopores provide enough gas molecular diffusion channels, and the special Ag‐O‐Co‐OH catalytic groups around nanopores display high intrinsic catalytic activity, which jointly result in an excellent ORR/OER performance. In alkaline electrolyte, P‐Ag‐Co(OH)2 displays a high half‐wave potential (0.902 V versus RHE) for ORR, and a low overpotential (235 mV at 10 mA cm−2) for OER, which is superior to non‐noble catalysts in previous studies and Pt/C (Ir/C) catalyst. At the same time, the single‐cell zinc‐air battery is prepared with an extremely high discharge peak power density of 435 mW cm−2 and excellent discharge–charge cycle stability.

AbstractNear‐infrared (NIR) light‐responsive hydrogels have the advantages of high precision, remote control and excellent biocompatibility, which are widely used in soft biomimetic actuators. The process by which water molecules diffuse can directly affect the deformation of hydrogel. Therefore, it remains a serious challenge to improve the response speed of hydrogel actuator. Herein, an anisotropic photo‐responsive conductive hydrogel is designed by a directional freezing method. Due to the anisotropy of the MXene‐based PNIPAM/MXene directional (PMD) hydrogel, its mechanical properties and conductivity are enhanced in a specific direction. At the same time, with the presence of the internal directional channels and the assistance of capillary force, the PMD hydrogel can achieve a volume deswelling of 70% in 2 s under light irradiation, further building a hydrogel actuator with a fast response performance. Additionally, the hydrogel actuator can lift an object 40 times its weight by a distance of 6 mm, realizing the advantages of both rapid responsiveness and high driving strength, which makes the hydrogel actuator have important application significance in remote control, microflow valve, and soft robot.

Published: May 2023

AbstractMetasurfaces have proved to possess extraordinary properties and propelled the development of versatile functional devices in the terahertz domain, but the intrinsic dispersion severely impedes their broadband applications. Sporadic studies on achromatic terahertz metasurfaces are either subject to specific polarization operation or challenged in the fabrication process for extended bandwidth and numerical aperture. Herein a novel meta‐atom scheme made up of a silicon–silica–silicon sandwich‐shaped structure is presented that enlarges the propagation phase as well as improves the dispersion engineering capability at low losses. As a classic case, an achromatic metalens is constituted by these meta‐atoms and experimentally demonstrated which shows a remarkable achromatic focusing performance from 0.5 to 1.1 THz with a numerical aperture of 0.47 and an average efficiency as high as 43.1%. Continuous wavelet transformation analysis further proves the metalens has negligible group delay dispersion. This study not only demonstrates an outstanding terahertz achromatic metalens but also provides a novel meta‐atom paradigm for constructing achromatic metasurfaces such as holographic plate, beam deflector, and Bessel axicon, further not limited to THz bands.
Plasma‐Assisted Formation of Oxygen Defective NiCoO/NiCoN Heterostructure with Improved ORR/OER Activities for Highly Durable All‐Solid‐State Zinc‐Air Batteries

Published: May 2023

AbstractA plasma approach is reported to synthesize carbon cloth supported carbon fiber and oxygen defect‐rich NiCoO/NiCoN hetero‐nanowire co‐integrated hybrid catalyst (P‐NCO/NCN‐CF@CC), which includes the advanced features of carbon integration, cation doping, defect/vacancy introduction, and heterostructuring. The P‐NCO/NCN shows a fascinating structure with the periphery composed of NCO and the interior co‐composed of NCO and NCN. Its formation mainly depends on the high reactivity of energetic species of NH, Ha, and Hb formed during the plasma discharge. The P‐NCO/NCN‐CF@CC exhibits the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity comparable to the Pt/C and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity higher than RuO2. When used in the all‐solid‐state zinc‐air batteries, it gives a high maximum power density of 109.8 mW cm−2 with no performance drop observed for >300 cycles. The DFT calculations indicate that the NCO/NCN heterostructuring and oxygen defects in NCO play the important roles in the high ORR/OER activities of the catalyst. They can modulate the electronic structure of the catalyst, lowering the energy barriers of rate determining steps.

AbstractThe current research on ferroelectric photovoltaic materials is concentrated on enhancing the output photocurrent. As solar cells operate at high temperatures, it is crucial to take into account the effect of increasing temperatures on ferroelectric photovoltaics. In this study, an LNO (lanthanum nickelate, LaNiO3)/BFO (bismuth ferrate, BiFeO3)/ITO (indium tin oxide) device is constructed on a mica substrate by sol–gel method. The device achieves output photocurrent enhancement at a wide temperature range (33–183 °C), with the largest photocurrent enhancement at 130 °C, which is 178% relative to room temperature, and the output power is also increased by 9.88 times. At the same time, compared with BFO bulk, it is found that the performance of BFO film is always higher than that of bulk in the test temperature range, and the output photocurrent of BFO film at room temperature is 104 times higher than that of bulk. This article investigates the effect of high temperatures on ferroelectric photovoltaics and also provides a strategy for enhancing the photovoltaic performance of ferroelectric films, providing guidance for future applications of ferroelectric films in flexible solar cells and other applications.

AbstractComplex oxide heterointerfaces contain a rich playground of novel physical properties and functionalities, which give rise to emerging technologies. Among designing and controlling the functional properties of complex oxide film heterostructures, vertically aligned nanostructure (VAN) films using a self‐assembling bottom‐up deposition method presents great promise in terms of structural flexibility and property tunability. Here, the bottom‐up self‐assembly is extended to a new approach using a mixture containing a 2Dlayer‐by‐layer film growth, followed by a 3D VAN film growth. In this work, the two‐phase nanocomposite thin films are based on LaAlO3:LaBO3, grown on a lattice‐mismatched SrTiO3001 (001) single crystal. The 2D‐to‐3D transient structural assembly is primarily controlled by the composition ratio, leading to the coexistence of multiple interfacial properties, 2D electron gas, and magnetic anisotropy. This approach provides multidimensional film heterostructures which enrich the emergent phenomena for multifunctional applications.

AbstractTriboelectric nanogenerator (TENG)’s use is constrained by their surface charge density and alternating current output. This study therefore proposes a coupling output method combining charge excitation and phase shift to realize an almost constant high‐performance direct‐current (DC) and DC‐TENG is designed to harvest the energy of flowing water. The output characteristic of the DC‐TENG with or without charge excitation is thoroughly investigated in the experiment. The impact on the effectiveness of phases (P) and groups (G) is further proven by comparing and quantifying the current wave. The operation capability in a water environment is further demonstrated by the transmitted charge's attenuation of roughly 10.84% after the environment's humidity is increased to 90% RH. According to the findings of the investigation, DC‐TENG with 3P4G can reach almost constant DC with the root mean square value of 29.1 μA and the crest factor of 1.23. And the 220 μF capacitor can be charged to 5 V within 63 s and the peak output power of 9.18 mW is obtained. Finally, an experimental platform is established to simulate the water environment and the thermography is steadily powered. This scheme has reference significance to realize high‐performance DC output in the water environment.

AbstractLead‐free halide perovskites are emerging as promising eco‐friendly candidates for next‐generation solid‐state lighting because of their nontoxicity and availability for broad emission. Herein, a modified room‐temperature anti‐solvent precipitation method is developed to synthesize the Sb3+‐doped, In‐based, lead‐free halide perovskites in microplate/microcrystal structure with different emission colors. The layered structure of InCl3 serves as the template for the growth of Cs2InCl5(H2O):Sb3+ microplate phosphors. Moreover, the presence of HCl not only improves the solubility of precursors, but also provides the acid etching effect. The resultant Sb3+‐doped Cs2InCl5(H2O) microplate phosphors show bright yellow emission with photoluminescence quantum yield up to 92.4%. Furthermore, Cs3InCl6:Sb3+ and Cs2NaInCl6:Sb3+ are synthesized through the similar method, which displays the bright green and deep‐blue emission, respectively. Subsequently, the proof‐of‐concept white light‐emitting diodes (WLEDs) are fabricated based on Cs2NaInCl6:Sb3+ + Cs2InCl5(H2O):Sb3+ and Cs2NaInCl6:Sb3+ + Cs3InCl6:Sb3+ + Cs2InCl5(H2O):Sb3+ phosphors, which achieves high‐quality white light with the color rendering index (CRI) of 91.6 and 95.4, respectively. The results greatly advance the development of lead‐free halide perovskite phosphors synthesis, which may offer new possibilities for high CRI WLEDs fabrication.

AbstractScintillators, which can convert high‐energy ionizing radiation (e.g., X‐ or γ‐rays) into ultraviolet‐visible light, have been widely applied in medical and industrial fields. Developing new scintillation materials with high performance and low cost is very desirable in order to address the growing application demands. Among them, single‐crystal scintillators of organic‐inorganic hybrid metal halides (OIMHs) have attracted much attention because of their excellent optical transparency, suppressed light scattering, and facile solution preparation methods. Herein, three new centimeter‐sized (2‐DMAP)2MnX4 (2‐DMAP+ = 2‐dimethylaminopyridinium, X = Cl, Br, I) single crystals with high crystal quality are synthesized via the solvent evaporation method. Benefiting from the high optical transparency and remarkable luminescence property, (2‐DMAP)2MnBr4 delivers a high X‐ray light yield of 22 000 photons MeV−1, a low limit of detection of 9.50 nGy s−1, and an excellent X‐ray imaging spatial resolution of 20–25 lp mm−1. Moreover, the regulation of single‐crystal thickness from 0.31 mm to 3.03 mm can be easily achieved via a simple solution post‐treatment method, which has a significant influence on the transmittance, spatial imaging resolution, and detection limit. This work demonstrates a promising single‐crystal scintillator for the application of high‐resolution X‐ray imaging with low preparation cost and tunable thickness.

Abstract55 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer's disease (AD). A definitive diagnosis of AD is made postmortem after a neuropathological examination of the brain. There is an urgent need for an innovative, noninvasive methodology that allows for an early and reliable diagnosis. Several engineered phages that recognized Aβ‐autoantibodies present in the sera of AD patients are previously identified. Here, novel phages are tested for their ability to accurately discriminate AD sera using immunophage‐polymerase chain reaction in a miniatured biochip. It is found that five of the six phages analyzed discriminate between healthy controls and AD patients. Further, by combining the response of two phages, non‐AD and severe AD cases are identified with 100% accuracy and mild‐to‐moderate cases with 90% accuracy. While the number of cases used here are relatively small and can be confirmed in larger cohorts, this first‐of‐a‐kind system represents an innovative methodology with the potential of having a major impact in the AD field: from a clinical perspective, it can aid physicians in making an accurate AD diagnosis; from a research perspective, it can be used as a surrogate for AD clinical trials.
