ZnxCo3‐xO4 nanoarrays are grown hydrothermally on Ti foils using appropriate ratios of Zn(NO3)2 and Co(NO3)2, NH4F and Co(NH2)2 in H2O together with the Ti substrate (autoclave, 120 °C, 10 h).
Transparent and conductive film based electronics have attracted substantial research interest in various wearable and integrated display devices in recent years. The breakdown of transparent electronics prompts the development of transparent electronics integrated with healability. A healable transparent chemical gas sensor device is assembled from layer-by-layer-assembled transparent healable polyelectrolyte multilayer films by developing effective methods to cast transparent carbon nanotube (CNT) networks on healable substrates. The healable CNT network-containing film with transparency and superior network structures on self-healing substrate is obtained by the lateral movement of the underlying self-healing layer to bring the separated areas of the CNT layer back into contact. The as-prepared healable transparent film is assembled into healable transparent chemical gas sensor device for flexible, healable gas sensing at room temperature, due to the 1D confined network structure, relatively high carrier mobility, and large surface-to-volume ratio. The healable transparent chemical gas sensor demonstrates excellent sensing performance, robust healability, reliable flexibility, and good transparency, providing promising opportunities for developing flexible, healable transparent optoelectronic devices with the reduced raw material consumption, decreased maintenance costs, improved lifetime, and robust functional reliability.
The halide solid‐state electrolytes (SSEs) have received significant attention due to their high ionic conductivity and desirable compatibility with cathode materials. However, the reduction potential of the halide is still >0.6 V (versus Li/Li+). Reduction stability is still one of the challenges that need to be addressed. The fluorides have a wide electrochemical stability window due to the large electronegativity of F–. In contrast, Li3YBr6 (LYB) bromides have a narrower electrochemical window, although they have high lithium ion conductivity (>10–3 S cm–1). Herein, a fluorine doping strategy is employed. The interfacial stability between fluoride‐doped bromides and lithium metal is researched by cycling of lithium symmetric cells. Li plating/stripping can maintain over 1000 h at 0.75 mA cm–2. Interfacial protection mechanisms investigated by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A fluoride‐rich interfacial layer is formed in situ during the cycle, which achieves inhibition of the reduction. The Li metal treated fluorine doping of LYB exhibits significant potential in full cells. In fact, the induction of a stable in situ interfacial layer by fluorine doping can effectively improve the interfacial stability of bromides to lithium metal. Fluorine‐doped modification offers a new attempt to realize lithium metal applications in all‐solid‐state lithium batteries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
