Interlayer interactions in graphites

Abstract: Based on ab initio calculations of both the ABC- and AB-stacked graphites, interlayer potentials (i.e., graphene-graphene interaction) are obtained as a function of the interlayer spacing using a modified Mobius inversion method, and are used to calculate basic physical properties of graphite. Excellent consistency is observed between the calculated and experimental phonon dispersions of AB-stacked graphite, showing the validity of the interlayer potentials. More importantly, layer-related properties for nonideal structures (e.g., the exfoliation energy, cleave energy, stacking fault energy, surface energy, etc.) can be easily predicted from the interlayer potentials, which promise to be extremely efficient and helpful in studying van der Waals structures.

Broad-band emission in metal halide perovskites: Mechanism, materials, and applications

Abstract: Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are in a blossoming status where their inherent optoelectronic properties are being revisited from the perspective of both fundamental science and practical application. In an attempt to boost the manipulating photoluminescence performance of MHPs, it is timely and vital to review the relation between structural attributes and the photo-physical phenomena for their unique broad-band emissions. In this review, we highlight the luminescent mechanisms of MHPs from dopants, self-trapped excitons (STEs) and defects, and some progresses with an emphasis on how multi-color broad-band emitters can be designed in various classes of MHPs frameworks. We also summarize the integration of MHPs into optoelectronic devices including light-emitting diodes, X-ray scintillators, fluorescence sensors and thermometers. This review aims to provide an in-depth insights into the structure-luminescence relationships from mechanism, materials, and applications, and further pave a way to discuss the current challenges and future promising prospects in MHPs.

An Ultrathin Flexible Single-Electrode Triboelectric-Nanogenerator for Mechanical Energy Harvesting and Instantaneous Force Sensing

Abstract: The trends in miniaturization of electronic devices give rise to the attention of energy harvesting technologies that gathers tiny wattages of power. Here this study demonstrates an ultrathin flexible single electrode triboelectric nanogenerator (S-TENG) which not only could harvest mechanical energy from human movements and ambient sources, but also could sense instantaneous force without extra energy. The S-TENG, which features an extremely simple structure, has an average output current of 78 μA, lightening up at least 70 LEDs (light-emitting diode). Even tapped by bare finger, it exhibits an output current of 1 μA. The detection sensitivity for instantaneous force sensing is about 0.947 μA MPa−1. Performances of the device are also systematically investigated under various motion types, press force, and triboelectric materials. The S-TENG has great application prospects in sustainable wearable devices, sustainable medical devices, and smart wireless sensor networks owning to its thinness, light weight, energy harvesting, and sensing capacities.
