Herein, high-performance, reliable electrochromic supercapacitors (ECSs) are proposed based on tungsten trioxide (WO3) and nickel oxide (NiO) films. To maximize device performance and stability, the stoichiometric balance between anode and cathode materials is controlled by carefully adjusting the thickness of the anodic NiO film while fixing the thickness of WO3 to ∼660 nm. Then, a small amount (≤10 mol %) of metal (e.g., copper) is doped into the NiO film, improving the electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity. At a Cu doping level of 7 mol %, the resulting ECS exhibited the highest performance, including a high areal capacitance (∼14.9 mF/cm2), excellent coulombic efficiency (∼99%), wide operating temperature range (0–80 °C), reliable operation with high charging/discharging cyclic stability (>10,000 cycles), and good self-discharging durability. Simultaneously, the change in transmittance of the device is well synchronized with the galvanostatic charging/discharging curve by which the real-time energy storage status is visually indicated. Furthermore, the practical feasibility of the device is successfully demonstrated. These results imply that the ECS fabricated in this work is a promising potential energy storage platform and an attractive component for future electronics.

Summary Interactions between pathogenic microorganisms and their hosts are varied and complex, encompassing open‐field scale interactions to interactions at the molecular level. The capacity of plant pathogenic bacteria and fungi to cause diseases in human and animal systems was, until recently, considered of minor importance. However, recent evidence suggests that animal and human infections caused by plant pathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses may have critical impacts on human and animal health and safety. This review analyses previous research on plant pathogens as causal factors of animal illness. In addition, a case study involving disruption of type III effector‐mediated phagocytosis in a human cell line upon infection with an opportunistic phytopathogen, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, is discussed. Further knowledge regarding the molecular interactions between plant pathogens and human and animal hosts is needed to understand the extent of disease incidence and determine mechanisms for disease prevention.
