An integrated tandem photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell, composed of a three-dimensional (3D) ZnO/CdS/NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) core/shell/hierarchical nanowire arrays (NWAs) photoanode and a [Formula: see text]-Cu2O photocathode, was designed for unassisted overall solar water splitting in this study. The optical and photoelectrochemical characteristics of ZnO-based photoanodes and Cu2O photocathode were investigated. The results show that ZnO/CdS/NiFe LDH nanostructures offer significantly enhanced performances with a photocurrent density reaching 5.8[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] at 0.9[Formula: see text]V and an onset potential as early as 0.1[Formula: see text]V (versus RHE). The enhancement can be attributed to the existence of CdS nanoparticles (NPs) which boosts the light absorption in visible region and enhances charge separation. Moreover, the introduction of NiFe LDH nanoplates, with unique hierarchical mesoporous architecture, promotes electrochemical reactions by providing more active sites as co-catalyst. On the above basis, the ZnO/CdS/NiFe LDH–Cu2O two-electrode tandem cell system was established. At zero bias, the device shows a photocurrent density of 0.4[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] along with the corresponding solar-to-hydrogen (STH) conversion efficiency reaching 0.50%. Our results indicate that the tandem PEC cells consisting of metal–oxide–semiconductor photoelectrodes based on Earth-abundant and low-cost materials hold promising application potential for overall solar water splitting.

A spatially partitioned backlight system composed of tandem wedge‐shaped light‐guides with micro line‐prism arrays was developed for scanning field‐sequential‐color (FSC) LCD in large size. The light‐guides combined with LED light‐bars have been designed and fabricated to well distinguish each region and decrease the light leakage. By means of our approach, the volume of backlight system can be reduced down to 25 mm without sacrifice of the optical performance. As a result, 2750 nits average luminance subject to 50% duty cycle and 83% uniformity can be achieved. The leakages into the continuous adjacent blocks are well suppressed to 11.86%.

Abnormal inline defects were caught after nitride spacer etching processes. Detailed MEBES layout checking and inline SEM inspection revealed that such defects always appeared at the boundaries in between PFETs and NFETs regions. The microstructure and chemical composition of the defects were analyzed in detail by various TEM imaging and microanalysis techniques. The results indicated that the defect possessed core-shell structure, with oxide core and nitride shell. Based on the TEM failure analysis results and manufacturing processes, we conclude that the defects originated from PR fencing due to the PR hardening during PFET and NFET LDD/Halo implantation. The oxide core was generated during oxide spacer formation using an ozone-TEOS process, which was responsible for the nitride spacer under-etch issue.

With the development of computer technology, the software industry develops more rapidly. There are many softwares on the market, which are aimed at various technical operations. For example, you can use a computer graphics and image design software when designing a print advertisement. We can use this software to simplify the design operation. It enriches the required themes and design forms. This makes the quality of ads better than before. Therefore, the application of computer graphics software is very beneficial to the design industry. This paper combines the relationship between computing graphics and graphic advertising design, it discussed the application of computer graphics in the design of plane advertising.
