Abstract:
The booming market of portable and wearable electronics has aroused the requests for advanced flexible self-powered energy systems featuring both excellent performance and high safety. Herein, we report a safe, flexible, self-powered wristband system by integrating high-performance zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) with perovskite solar cells (PSCs). ZIBs were first fabricated on the basis of a defective MnO2–x nanosheet-grown carbon cloth (MnO2–x@CC), which was obtained via the simple lithium treatment of the MnO2 nanosheets to slightly expand the interlayer spacing and generate rich oxygen vacancies. When used as a ZIB cathode, the MnO2–x@CC with a ultrahigh mass loading (up to 25.5 mg cm–2) exhibits a much enhanced specific capacity (3.63 mAh cm–2 at current density of 3.93 mA cm–2), rate performance, and long cycle stability (no obvious degradation after 5000 cycles) than those of the MnO2@CC. Importantly, the MnO2–x@CC-based quasi-solid-state ZIB not only achieves excellent flexibility and an ultrahigh energy density of 5.11 mWh cm–2 (59.42 mWh cm–3) but also presents a high safety under a wide temperature range and various severe conditions. More importantly, the flexible ZIBs can be integrated with flexible PSCs to construct a safe, self-powered wristband, which is able to harvest light energy and power a commercial smart bracelet. This work sheds light on the development of high-performance ZIB cathodes and thus offers a good strategy to construct wearable self-powered energy systems for wearable electronics.Keywords:

A facile method to synthesize a MoS(2) nanosheet-graphene nanosheet hybrid has been developed via the combination of a lithiation-assisted exfoliation process and a hydrazine monohydrate vapour reduction technique. The as-obtained nanosheet-nanosheet hybrid is more robust and exhibits much improved cycle life (>700), which make it an efficient morphological solution to the stable lithium storage problem of nanomaterials.

Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of oppositely charged materials has been widely used as an approach to make two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet-based membranes, which often involves 2D nanosheets being alternately deposited with polymer-based polyelectrolytes to obtain an electrostabilized nanosheet-polymer structure. In this study, we hypothesized that using 2D nanosheets with matching physical properties as both polyanions and polycations may result in a more ordered nanostructure with better stability than a nanosheet-polymer structure. To compare the differences between nanosheet–nanosheet vs nanosheet-polymer structures, we assembled negatively charged molybdenum disulfide nanosheets (MoS2) with either positively charged graphene oxide (PrGO) nanosheets or positively charged polymer (PDDA). Using combined measurements by ellipsometer and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation, we discovered that the swelling of MoS2–PrGO in ionic solutions was 60% lower than that of MoS2–PDDA membranes. Meanwhile, the MoS2–PrGO membrane retained its permeability upon drying, whereas the permeability of MoS2–PDDA decreased by 40% due to the restacking of MoS2. Overall, the MoS2–PrGO membrane demonstrated a better filtration performance. Additionally, our X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results and analysis on layer density revealed a clearer transition in material composition during the LbL synthesis of MoS2–PrGO membranes, and the X-ray diffraction pattern suggested its resemblance to an ordered, layer-stacked structure. In conclusion, the MoS2–PrGO membrane made with nanosheets with matching size, shape, and charge density exhibited a much more aligned stacking structure, resulting in reduced membrane swelling under high salinity solutions, controlled restacking, and improved separation performance.

Abstract Nanosheet transistors are poised to become the preferred choice for the next generation of smaller-sized devices in the future. To address the future demand for high-performance and low-power computing applications, this study proposes a nanosheet structure with a vertically stacked design, featuring a high I ON / I OFF ratio. This Nanosheet design is combined with an induced tunnel field-effect transistor. By utilizing SiGe with a carrier mobility three times that of Si and employing a line tunneling mechanism, the research successfully achieves superior Band to Band characteristics, resulting in improved switching behavior and a lower Subthreshold Swing ( SS ). Comparative studies were conducted on three TFET types: Nanosheet PIN TFET, Nanosheet Schottky iTFET, and Fin iTFET. Results show that the Nanosheet PIN TFET has a higher I ON / I OFF ratio but poorer SSavg values at 47.63 mV/dec compared to the others. However, with a SiGe Body thickness of 3 nm, both Nanosheet iTFET and Fin iTFET exhibit higher I ON / I OFF ratios and superior SSavg values at 17.64 mV/dec. These findings suggest the potential of Nanosheet iTFET and Fin iTFET for low-power, lower thermal budgets, and fast-switching applications.

Although many electrochemical properties of 2D materials depend sensitively on the nanosheet dimensions, there are no systematic, quantitative studies which analyze the effect of nanosheet size and thickness on electrochemical parameters. Here we use size-selected WS2 nanosheets as a model system to determine the effect of nanosheet dimensions in two representative areas: hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic electrodes and electrochemical double layer capacitor electrodes. We chose these applications, as they depend on the interaction of ions with the nanosheet edge and basal plane, respectively, and so would be expected to be nanosheet-size-dependent. The data show the catalytic current density to scale inversely with mean nanosheet length while the volumetric double layer capacitance scales inversely with mean nanosheet thickness. Both of these results are consistent with simple models allowing use to extract intrinsic quantities, namely the turnover frequency and the double layer thickness, respectively.
