Bipolar carrier transfer channels exist in the in situ epitaxial-graphene-wrapped 6H-SiC core-shell heterojunction due to the self-doping of graphene. Due to the special interface structure and high graphene quality, this material exhibits significant photocatalytic enhancement. Its hydrogen evolution efficiency is greater than that of the Pt/SiC composite. This micrometer-sized metal-free photocatalyst exhibits an activity comparable to that of metal-based nanophotocatalysts.

This study evaluates ammonia gas recovery from high-strength anaerobic digestate using a bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BPED) and membrane contactor (MC). Ammonia is a promising carbon-neutral energy carrier, while digestates present both environmental challenges and opportunities for ammonia recovery. The BPED was tested at 2,000---10,000 mg-N/L under varying voltages and flow rates, achieving up to 87.

Background: Oxytocin (OXT), a neuropeptide involved in social behaviors and emotions, exhibits bidirectional effects depending upon positive or negative environments. Our previous report highlighted dysregulation of OXT on striatocortical functional connectivity (FC) in bipolar disorder (BD) patients. We hypothesized that: (1) in healthy controls (HC), carriers of a "sensitive" OXTR allele would show altered FC, particularly in association with childhood trauma; and (2) this gene-brain relationship would be fundamentally altered or reversed in BD patients, reflecting a gene-disease interaction.

Advancements in optimizing n-type BiTeSe (BTS) thermoelectrics prioritize integrating 2D nanoarchitectures, driven by their demonstrated capacity to inhibit lattice thermal conductivity while enhancing charge carrier mobility. Herein, interfacial engineering of van der Waals-integrated MoS nanosheets is proposed to achieve dual phonon-charge regulation. Through epitaxial growth at BTS grain boundaries and -axis alignment, these 2D layers establish periodic heterojunctions that selectively scatter broad-frequency phonons, while their intrinsic high carrier mobility preserves electrical conductivity.

The breathing Kagome semiconductor NbCl offers unique electronic properties, which has emerged as a prominent area of research in condensed matter physics. However, the realization of functional devices based on breathing kagome materials remains a challenge. Here, we fabricate dual-gate NbCl field-effect transistors (FETs) using h-BN or SiO as the gate dielectric.

Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) are becoming a strong competitor for the next generation of high-performance, energy-efficient integrated circuits due to their near-ballistic carrier transport characteristics and excellent suppression of short-channel effects. However, CNT FETs with large diameters and small band gaps exhibit obvious bipolarity, and gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) contributes significantly to the off-state leakage current. Although the asymmetric gate strategy and feedback gate (FBG) structures proposed so far have shown the potential to suppress CNT FET leakage currents, the devices still lack scalability.
