Article Abstract
High-quality GaN micro/nano columns were prepared with self-organized catalytic-free method. Young's modulus of GaN nanocolumns were measured under both compressive stress and tensile stress. It was found that the Young's modulus decreases with the increasing of nanocolumn diameter due to the increase of face defect density. Furthermore, we measured the piezoelectric properties and found that there was a 1000-fold current increase under a strain of 1% with a fixed bias voltage of 10 mV. Based on the Schottky Barrier Diode model, we modified it with the effect of polarization charge, image charge and interface state to analyze the experiment results which reveals that the strong piezopolarization effect plays an important role in this phenomenon. Therefore, the GaN nanocolumns has a great prospect to be applied in high-efficiency nanogenerators and high-sensitivity nanosensors.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials offer strong light-matter interaction and design flexibility beyond bulk semiconductors, but an intrinsic limit is the low absorption imposed by the atomic thickness. A long-sought-after goal is to achieve complementary absorption enhancement through energy transfer (ET) to break this limit. However, it is found challenging due to the competing charge transfer (CT) process and lack of resonance in exciton states.

Achieving atomically dispersed and robust Pt electrocatalysts through mild, efficient synthesis remains an urgent and challenging objective for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here, atomic-scale Pt clusters supported on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were fabricated via room-temperature electron-beam irradiation under an ambient atmosphere. The resulting Pt/CNT catalyst with a Pt loading of 6 wt % exhibits superior HER activity and stability compared to commercial 20% Pt/C.

Micro-nano lasers are highly desirable in intergrated optoelectronic devices for their compact size, efficient energy conversion, and rapid modulation speed. In this work, GaN/CsPbBr hybrid microcavities are realized by growing square CsPbBr microplate on a substrate of floating GaN microdisk. The growth conditions can be used to control the size of square CsPbBr microplates.

Broadband achromatic metalenses and metalens arrays hold promise for enabling high-performance optical imaging in a compact form factor. Conventional visible-light achromatic metalenses are composed of transparent and high-refractive-index TiO or GaN nanopillars, but are strongly limited in mainstream silicon-based complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) processes. Herein, we report the realization of high-efficiency SiN achromatic metalenses in the visible range and demonstrate their integration onto a commercial imaging chip.

Photothermal superhydrophobic coatings are expected to address anti-icing and deicing needs across various fields. However, integrating efficient photothermal performance with stable superhydrophobicity into a single surface remains a challenge. Here, we integrated titanium nitride (TiN) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into composite particles (TPMs) with a sycamore fruit-like structure by utilizing PTFE and further fabricated a photothermal superhydrophobic coating (TPMC).
