Article Abstract

Ultraviolet (UV) communication is a cutting-edge technology in communication battlefields, and self-powered photodetectors as their optical receivers hold great potential. However, suboptimal charge utilization has largely limited the further performance enhancement of self-powered photodetectors for high-throughput communication application. Herein, a self-powered Ti C T -hybrid poly(3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene):poly-styrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS)/ZnO (TPZ) photodetector is designed, which aims to boost charge utilization for desirable applications. The device takes advantage of photothermal effect to intensify pyro-photoelectric effect as well as the increased conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS, which significantly facilitated charge separation, accelerated charge transport, and suppressed interface charge recombination. Consequently, the self-powered TPZ photodetector exhibits superior comprehensive performance with high responsivity of 12.3 mA W and fast response time of 62.2 µs, together with outstanding reversible and stable cyclic operation. Furthermore, the TPZ photodetector has been successfully applied in an integrated UV communication system as the self-powered optical receiver capable of real-time high-throughput information transmission with ASCII code under 9600 baud rate. This work provides the design insight of highly performing self-powered photodetectors to achieve high-efficiency optical communication in the future.

Background: Dialysis in neonates with ESKD is often associated with multiple comorbidities and the need for more intensified dialysis regimens. With recent advances in prenatal interventions and infant specific KRT, survival of neonates with ESKD has improved over the last decade. Little is known however about the impact on the health care system of improved survival in this population.

Concerns over the mental health among young people have been increasing recently. We aimed to estimate the burdens of mental disorders, substance use disorders (SUDs), and self-harm at global, regional and national levels among adolescents and young adults aged 10-24 years from 1990 to 2021. Incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of mental disorders, SUDs, and self-harm among young people were examined by age, sex, region, and country/territory.

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) poses a significant challenge to the durability of materials used in hydrogen production and utilization. Disentangling the competing nanoscale mechanisms driving HE often relies on simulations and electron-transparent sample techniques, limiting experimental insights into hydrogen-induced dislocation behavior in bulk materials. This study employs in situ Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction imaging to track three-dimensional (3D) dislocation and strain field evolution during hydrogen charging in a bulk grain of austenitic 316 stainless steel.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most devastating disease and it necessitates therapeutic intervention for its effective management. Human Glucagon-like peptide-1 (HuGLP-1) is the potential candidate in the treatment of T2DM; however, it limits its utilization owing to its solubility and stability issues.

Aims: The current investigation aims to develop HuGLP-1-loaded bilosomes as a novel strategy for managing T2DM.

Sonocatalytic therapy (SCT) is a non-invasive tumor treatment modality that utilizes ultrasound (US)- activated sonocatalysts to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), whose production critically dependent on the electronic structural properties of the catalytic sites. However, the spin state, which is a pivotal descriptor of electronic properties, remains underappreciated in SCT. Herein, a Ti-doped zirconium-based MOF (Ti-UiO-66, denoted as UTN) with ligand-deficient defects is constructed for SCT, revealing the important role of the electronic spin state in modulating intrinsic catalytic activity.
