Noninvasive electrophysiological signal monitoring is
significant
for health care and scientific research. The simultaneous achievement
of wet adhesion, stretchability, breathability, and low contact impedance
is highly recommended in the epidermal electrode but still challenging.
In this work, a monolayer porous film electrode with a pore size and
wall thickness of less than ∼10 μm is fabricated via
the breath figure method (BFM) and metal sputtering, and it was subsequently
applied using epidermal electrophysiological monitoring. The ultrahigh
permeability is comparable to the naked skin because the through holes
of the monolayer porous film match well with the pores on human skin.
The stretchability of 50% is realized with the combination of Au microcrack
and the monolayer porous structure. The wet adhesion of 0.17 N/cm
is established on the chemical bonding between the electrode and the
epidermis. The contact impedance is comparable with the gold standard
Ag/AgCl gel electrode, especially after sweating. Stable and precise
electrophysiological signals are measured. Especially, the perspiration
resistance of the monolayer porous film outperforms that of the gel
electrode. The monolayer porous structure provides a new avenue to
improve the breathability of the epidermal electronics.
The rapidly advancing improvements in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are driven, in part, by the inclusion of suitable electron transport layers (ETLs) in high performance devices. Fullerene derivatives are particularly useful ETLs in PSCs, but many of the utilized fullerenes are present as isomeric mixtures. The opportunities presented by single‐isomer, single‐enantiomer fullerenes in PSCs are poorly understood. Here, inverted PSCs are prepared using bis[60]phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester derivative (anti)16,17‐bis[60]PCBM, comparing the performance of enantiomerically pure material to the corresponding racemate. The single enantiomer devices are found to have an improved performance, giving a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 23.2%, compared to 20.1% PCE for the racemate. It is also shown that enantiomerically pure PSC modules can be prepared with a state‐of‐the‐art PCE of 20.1%. Such excellent performance for the single enantiomer devices is accompanied by enhanced operational stability. This study thus provides strong evidence that single isomer ETLs can provide important improvements in PSC performance and it positions chiral fullerenes as an exciting material class moving forward.
Selective oxidation of sulphides to produce sulfoxides or sulphones is a key technique in industry. In this paper, we found that, the reaction could be catalyzed by the PhSe(O)OH/Al(NO3)3 system...
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.
