Article Abstract
We propose a beamforming method based on curved conformal metasurfaces fed by a slot-coupled patch antenna array. This conformal metasurface comprises five distinct planar metasurface subarrays and their corresponding feed array antennas, which are deployed on a cylindrical surface with a central angle of 60°. The feed array antenna, operating at 25 GHz, is designed based on the architecture of T-junction power dividers and slot-coupled patches, and this antenna is used as the feed for the metasurface subarray. The phase distribution of the transmission-type metasurface is computed based on the far-field synthesis expression of the cylindrical conformal array, resulting in main beams directed at elevation angles of 0, 15, and 30°. The radiation patterns of the conformal metasurface, as observed through experimental measurements, align well with the results derived from theoretical calculations, which confirms the efficacy of the beamforming methodology employed. This design effectively reduces the size of the feed, increases the spatial utilization of the conformal carrier, and broadens the applicability of the metasurfaces.

In recent years, there has been extensive research on two-dimensional (2D) planar metasurfaces (MTSs), and there is a growing interest in curved MTSs driven by the need to integrate radiators with specific structures such as aircraft, trains, cars, or missiles. However, current curved designs are mostly limited to spherical or cylindrical MTSs, and research on arbitrary three-dimensional (3D) curved MTSs remains limited due to their complex geometric shapes and radiation characteristics. In this paper, the effects of curvature, oblique incidence, distorted shape, and local diverging normal vectors on scattering amplitude degradation and the nonlinear phase of MTSs are thoroughly analyzed.

Rechargeable alkali metal-chlorine batteries are emerging as a promising high-energy-density solution. However, they confront significant challenges, including the primary issue stemming from the weak binding affinity of cathode materials for Cl, which leads to a sluggish and inadequate supply of Cl during the redox reactions, resulting in a shortened cycle life and low Coulombic efficiency (CE), particularly when operating at ultrahigh specific capacity outputs. Herein, an AlO-skinned heterostructured starburst porous graphene with conformal metasurfaces (AlO@rGO) is reported, crafted from a hierarchical porous starburst graphene arranged in a unique layered structure by the PTFE microemulsion skin effect, leveraging subsequent fluidized bed atomic layer deposition (FBALD) of AlO groups.
