Article Abstract

In this article, we propose and demonstrate a probe-type multi-core fiber (MCF) sensor for the multi-parameter measurement of seawater. The sensor comprises an MCF and two capillary optical fibers (COFs) with distinct inner diameters, in which a 45° symmetric core reflection (SCR) structure and a step-like inner diameter capillary (SIDC) structure filled with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) are fabricated at the fiber end. The sensor is equipped with three channels for different measurements. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) channel (CH) based on the side-polished MCF is utilized for salinity measurement. The fiber end air cavity, forming the Fabry-Pérot interference (FPI) channel (CH), is utilized for pressure and temperature measurement. Additionally, the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) channel (CH), which is inscribed in the central core, serves as temperature compensation for the measurement results. By combining three sensing principles with space division multiplexing (SDM) technology, the sensor overcomes the common challenges faced by multi-parameter sensors, such as channel crosstalk and signal demodulation difficulties. The experimental results indicate that the sensor has sensitivities of 0.36 nm/‱, -10.62 nm/MPa, and -0.19 nm/°C for salinity, pressure, and temperature, respectively. As a highly integrated and easily demodulated probe-type optical fiber sensor, it can serve as a valuable reference for the development of multi-parameter fiber optic sensors.

Rising atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD)-a measure of atmospheric dryness, defined as the difference between saturated vapor pressure (SVP) and actual vapor pressure (AVP)-has been linked to increasing daily mean near-surface air temperatures since the 1980s. However, it remains unclear whether the faster increases in daily maximum temperature (T) relative to daily minimum temperature (T) have contributed to rising VPD. Here, we show that the faster rise in T compared with T over land has intensified VPD from 1980 to 2023.

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is a key water quality indicator reflecting river health. Modeling and understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of DO and its influencing factors are crucial for effective river management. Machine learning (ML) models have gained popularity in water quality prediction; however, their accuracy strongly depends on the predictor variables.

This study presents a straightforward and rapid method for preparing graphene aerogel by integrating a sodium alginate (SA)-metal ion crosslinking system, a bubble template, and an osmotic dehydration process. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were dispersed into the solution crosslinked by SA and metal ions, leading to rapid gelation of GO under ambient conditions. To minimize structural damage to the porous network caused by water molecules during the drying process, an osmotic dehydration technique was employed as an auxiliary drying method.

Noble metal nanoparticles (NPs), particularly platinum (Pt), are widely used in heterogeneous catalysis due to their exceptional activity. However, controlling their size and preventing sintering during synthesis remains a major challenge, especially when aiming for high dispersion and stability on supports such as graphene. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has emerged as a promising method to address these issues, yet conventional processes often lead to broad particle size distributions (PSDs).
