TL;DR: The proposed method offers a new way to control scattering of terahertz waves and can be implemented using conventional lithography, and it is shown that multi-bit coding metasurfaces have strong abilities to control teraHertz waves by designing-specific coding sequences.
Abstract: The terahertz region is a special region of the electromagnetic spectrum that incorporates the advantages of both microwaves and infrared light waves. In the past decade, metamaterials with effective medium parameters or gradient phases have been studied to control terahertz waves and realize functional devices. Here, we present a new approach to manipulate terahertz waves by using coding metasurfaces that are composed of digital coding elements. We propose a general coding unit based on a Minkowski closed-loop particle that is capable of generating 1-bit coding (with two phase states of 0 and 180°), 2-bit coding (with four phase states of 0, 90°, 180°, and 270°), and multi-bit coding elements in the terahertz frequencies by using different geometric scales. We show that multi-bit coding metasurfaces have strong abilities to control terahertz waves by designing-specific coding sequences. As an application, we demonstrate a new scattering strategy of terahertz waves—broadband and wide-angle diffusion—using a 2-bit coding metasurface with a special coding design and verify it by both numerical simulations and experiments. The presented method opens a new route to reducing the scattering of terahertz waves. A team in China has demonstrated a new strategy for controlling terahertz waves by using ‘coding’ metasurfaces to attain broadband diffusion. Metamaterials have previously been used to control terahertz waves and develop functional devices. Now, Tie Jun Cui and co-workers have developed metasurfaces composed of one-, two- and three-bit digital coding elements based on Minkowski loops. They demonstrated their coding surfaces by showing that metasurfaces with appropriately designed coding sequences can be used to strongly manipulate terahertz waves. In particular, they realized broadband, wide-angle diffusion using a two-bit coding metasurface with a special design and obtained good agreement between the measured results and numerical simulations. The proposed method offers a new way to control scattering of terahertz waves and can be implemented using conventional lithography.

TL;DR: The authors demonstrate a rational strategy to improve sodium storage performance of red P by confining nanosized amorphous red P into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) -derived nitrogen-doped microporous carbon matrix (denoted as P@N-MPC), which improves the conductivity of the encapsulated red P.
Abstract: Red phosphorus (P) has attracted intense attention as promising anode material for high-energy density sodium-ion batteries (NIBs), owing to its high sodium storage theoretical capacity (2595 mAh g-1 ). Nevertheless, natural insulating property and large volume variation of red P during cycling result in extremely low electrochemical activity, leading to poor electrochemical performance. Herein, the authors demonstrate a rational strategy to improve sodium storage performance of red P by confining nanosized amorphous red P into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) -derived nitrogen-doped microporous carbon matrix (denoted as P@N-MPC). When used as anode for NIBs, the P@N-MPC composite displays a high reversible specific capacity of ≈600 mAh g-1 at 0.15 A g-1 and improved rate capacity (≈450 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 1000 cycles with an extremely low capacity fading rate of 0.02% per cycle). The superior sodium storage performance of the P@N-MPC is mainly attributed to the novel structure. The N-doped porous carbon with sub-1 nm micropore facilitates the rapid diffusion of organic electrolyte ions and improves the conductivity of the encapsulated red P. Furthermore, the porous carbon matrix can buffer the volume change of red P during repeat sodiation/desodiation process, keeping the structure intact after long cycle life.

TL;DR: ZnO nanorods were fabricated by a simple low-temperature hydrothermal process in high yield (about 85%), starting with Zn(OH) 4 2− aqueous solution in the presence of CTAB, the CTA board serving as a structure director, and no calcination process was needed as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: ZnO nanorods were fabricated by a simple low-temperature hydrothermal process in high yield (about 85%), starting with Zn(OH) 4 2− aqueous solution in the presence of CTAB, the CTAB serving as a structure director, and no calcination process was needed. The morphology and crystal structure of the prepared ZnO nanorods were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM). The ZnO nanorods were then used to construct a gas sensor for ethanol detection at different operating temperature. The as-prepared ZnO nanorod gas sensor exhibited a high, reversible and fast response to ethanol, indicating its potential application as a gas sensor to detect ethanol.

TL;DR: The combination of different strategies, i.e., 2D-structure construction, the introduction of surface oxygen vacancies, and the creation of localized surface plasmon resonance can promote the light-harvesting performance of tungsten oxide through accumulative and synergistic effects.
Abstract: Substoichiometric tungsten oxide single-crystal nanosheets are successfully prepared via the exfoliation of layered tungstic acid and subsequent introduction of oxygen vacancies. The combination of different strategies, i.e., 2D-structure construction, the introduction of surface oxygen vacancies, and the creation of localized surface plasmon resonance can promote the light-harvesting performance of tungsten oxide through accumulative and synergistic effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified method of uninformative variable elimination (UVE) was proposed for variable selection in NIR spectral modeling based on the principle of Monte Carlo (MC) and UVE The method builds a large number of models with randomly selected calibration samples at first, and then each variable is evaluated with a stability of the corresponding coefficients in these models.
