We demonstrate that the high-capacity organic electrode material, p-benzoquinone, is able to sustain ultrahigh redox reaction rates without any conductive additives when applied as ultrathin layers in an all-solid-state thin-film battery setup, viable for e.g. high-performance power sources in microelectronic devices.

Widespread applications of nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO)-based processes for water purification and desalination call for high-performance thin-film composite (TFC) membranes. In this work, a novel and facile modification method was proposed to fabricate high-performance thin-film composite nanofiltration membrane by introducing Ca2+ in the heat post-treatment. The introduction of Ca2+ induced in situ Ca2+-carboxyl intra-bridging, leading to the embedment of Ca2+ in the polyamide (PA) layer. This post modification enhanced the hydrophilicity and surface charge of NF membranes compared to the pristine membrane. More interestingly, the modified membrane had more nodules and exhibited rougher morphology. Such changes brought by the addition of Ca2+ enabled the significant increase of water permeability (increasing from 17.9 L·m−2·h−1·bar−1 to 29.8 L·m−2·h−1·bar−1) while maintaining a high selectivity (Na2SO4 rejection rate of 98.0%). Furthermore, the intra-bridging between calcium and carboxyl imparted the NF membranes with evident antifouling properties, exhibiting milder permeability decline of 4.2% (compared to 16.7% of NF-control) during filtration of sodium alginate solution. The results highlight the potential of using Ca2+-carboxyl intra-bridging post-treatment to fabricate high-performance TFC membranes for water purification and desalination.

This paper studied the manufacturing process of Piezoelectric-on-Silicon (POS) substrate which integrates 128° Y–X Lithium niobate thin film and silicon wafer using Smart-Cut technology. The blistering and exfoliation processes of the He as-implanted LN crystal under different annealing temperatures are observed by the in-situ method. Unlike the conventional polishing process, the stripping mechanism of the Lithium niobate thin film is changed by controlling annealing temperature, which can improve the surface morphology of the peeling lithium niobate thin film. We prepared the 128° Y–X POS substrate with high single-crystal Lithium niobate thin film and surface roughness of 3.91 nm through Benzocyclobutene bonding. After simulating the surface acoustic wave (SAW) characteristics of the POS substrate, the results demonstrate that the Benzocyclobutene layer not only performs as a bonding layer but also can couple more vibrations into the LN thin film. The electromechanical coupling coefficient of the POS substrate is up to 7.59% in the Rayleigh mode when hLN/λ is 0.3 and hBCB/λ is 0.1. Therefore, as a high-performance substrate material, the POS substrate has proved to be an efficient method to miniaturize and integrate the SAW sensor.

Abstract High-performance submicron thin-film encapsulation deposited rapidly under low temperature plays an important role in Si-based organic micro-displays. In this letter, the formation mechanism of high-performance encapsulation films consisting of SiO2/in-situ plasma oxidized Al at 77°C is explained. We think that the reason why the performance of encapsulation films deposited by this method behave better than the simple stacking of SiO2/Al2O3 is the formation of Al-O-Si bonds. By further optimizing the process parameters, the water vapor transmission rate and the transmittance in the visible region have been improved, which reached 10-6 g∙m 2∙day 1 and 90%, respectively.
