Roll-to-Roll Encapsulation of Metal Nanowires between Graphene and Plastic Substrate for High-Performance Flexible Transparent Electrodes

Abstract: Transparent conductive film on plastic substrate is a critical component in low-cost, flexible, and lightweight optoelectronics. Industrial-scale manufacturing of high-performance transparent conductive flexible plastic is needed to enable wide-ranging applications. Here, we demonstrate a continuous roll-to-roll (R2R) production of transparent conductive flexible plastic based on a metal nanowire network fully encapsulated between graphene monolayer and plastic substrate. Large-area graphene film grown on Cu foil via a R2R chemical vapor deposition process was hot-laminated onto nanowires precoated EVA/PET film, followed by a R2R electrochemical delamination that preserves the Cu foil for reuse. The encapsulated structure minimized the resistance of both wire-to-wire junctions and graphene grain boundaries and strengthened adhesion of nanowires and graphene to plastic substrate, resulting in superior optoelectronic properties (sheet resistance of ∼8 Ω sq–1 at 94% transmittance), remarkable corrosion resis...

Chemical Cosubstitution-Oriented Design of Rare-Earth Borates as Potential Ultraviolet Nonlinear Optical Materials.

Abstract: A chemical cosubstitution strategy was implemented to design potential ultraviolet (UV) and deep-UV nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Taking the classic β-BaB2O4 as a maternal structure, by simultaneously replacing the Ba2+ and [B3O6]3– units with monovalant (K+), divalent (alkaline earth metal), trivalent (rare-earth metal, Bi3+) ions, and the [B5O10]5– clusters through two different practical routes, 12 new mixed-metal noncentrosymmetric borates K7MIIRE2(B5O10)3 (MII = Ca, Sr, Ba, K/RE0.5; RE = Y, Lu, Gd) as well as K7MIIBi2(B5O10)3 (MII = Pb, Sr) were successfully designed and synthesized as high-quality single crystals. The selected K7CaY2(B5O10)3, K7SrY2(B5O10)3, and K7BaY2(B5O10)3 compounds were subjected to experimental and theoretical characterizations. They all exhibit suitable second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses, as large as that of commercial KH2PO4 (KDP), and also exhibit short UV cutoff edges. These results confirm the feasibility of this chemical cosubstitution strategy to design NLO...

Comparison of the effects of salt-stress and alkali-stress on photosynthesis and energy storage of an alkali-resistant halophyte Chloris virgata

Abstract: Seedlings of Chloris virgata were treated with varying (0–160 mM) salt-stress (SS; 1: 1 molar ratio of NaCl to Na2SO4) or alkali-stress (AS; 1: 1 molar ratio of NaHCO3 to Na2CO3). To compare these effects, relative growth rates (RGR), stored energy, photosynthetic pigment contents, net photosynthetic rates, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rates were determined. Both stresses did not change significantly the photosynthetic parameters of C. virgata under moderate stress (below 120 mM). Photosynthetic ability decreased significantly only at high stress (160 mM). Thus C. virgata, a natural alkali-resistant halophyte, adapts better to both kinds of stress. The inhibition effects of AS on RGR and energy storage of C. virgata were significantly greater than that of SS of the same intensity. The energy consumption of C. virgata was considerably greater while resisting AS than while resisting SS.
