The diffusion of ferric ions is an important challenge to limit the application of Fricke gel dosimeters in accurate three-dimensional dose verification of modern radiotherapy. In this work, low-diffusion Fricke gel dosimeters, with a core-shell structure based on spatial confinement, were constructed by utilizing microdroplet ultrarapid freezing and coating technology. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), with its excellent hydrophobicity, was coated on the surface of the pellets. The concentration gradient of the ferric ion was realized through shielding half of a Co-60 photon beam field size, and ion diffusion was measured by both ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry and magnetic resonance imaging. No diffusion occurred between the core-shell pellets, even at 96 h after irradiation, and the diffusion length at the irradiation boundary was limited to the diameter (2–3 mm) of the pellets. Furthermore, Monte Carlo calculations were conducted to study dosimetric properties of the core-shell dosimeter, which indicated that a PDMS shell hardly affected the performance of the dosimeter.

Abstract Supercapacitive properties of Co/ZnCo oxide composite with a core-shell nanostructure (Co3O4/ZnCo2O4) prepared directly onto a nickel foam substrate by a two-step hydrothermal method were investigated. The synthesized core-shell structure consisted of some ~40-100 nm in thick flaky ZnCo2O4 deposits coated onto the surface of Co3O4 nanorods measuring ~150 nm in diameter. The specific capacitance value of the Co3O4/ZnCo2O4 core-shell nanostructure synthesized by hydrothermal at 130°C for a ZnCo2O4 deposition time of 2 h can attain 1804 F/g at a scan rate of 5 mV/s. Furthermore, the core-shell structured electrode still exhibited a relatively good capacitance retention of more than 93% after 3000 CV cycles due to the superior structural support of Co3O4 scaffolds. The Co3O4/ZnCo2O4 core-shell structure exhibits excellent electrochemical performances and, as such, is one of the more promising active materials in pseudocapacitor applications.
