Strontium aluminates doped and co-doped with rare earth ions (RE 3+ and RE 2+ ) have been extensively explored for their long-lasting afterglow properties. This study investigates the potential defects created by these dopants via classical computational modelling. In the first part, isovalent and aliovalent substitutions of RE 3+ were analysed, along with the resulting lattice strain caused by doping. The results showed that interstitial oxygen is the most energetically favourable charge compensation mechanism, except for Lu 3+ , Yb 3+ , Tm 3+ , and Er 3+ , which prefer isovalent substitution at the Al 3+ sites. The second part of the study examined possible mechanisms for RE 3+ → RE 2+ reduction, a key aspect that governs the long-lasting afterglow processes. Divalent ions exhibited a high possibility of reduction in the presence of CO which is consistent with experimental data on luminescent properties. Finally, the study focused on codoping systems with Eu 2+ and Dy 3+ , testing various reduction atmospheres and charge compensation mechanisms.

Metallic molybdenum disulfide (MoS2),e.g., 1T phase, is touted as a highly promising material for energy storage that already displays a great capacitive performance. However, due to its tendency to aggregate and restack, it remains a formidable challenge to assemble a high-performance electrode without scrambling the intrinsic structure. Here, we report an electrohydrodynamic-assisted fabrication of 3D crumpled MoS2(c-MoS2) and its formation of an additive-free stable ink for scalable inkjet printing. The 3D c-MoS2powders exhibited a high concentration of metallic 1T phase and an ultrathin structure. The aggregation-resistant properties of the 3D crumpled particles endow the electrodes with open space for electrolyte ion transport. Importantly, we experimentally discovered and theoretically validated that 3D 1T c-MoS2enables an extended electrochemical stable working potential range and enhanced capacitive performance in a bivalent magnesium-ion aqueous electrolyte. With reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as the positive electrode material, we inkjet-printed 96 rigid asymmetric micro-supercapacitors (AMSCs) on a 4-in. Si/SiO2wafer and 100 flexible AMSCs on photo paper. These AMSCs exhibited a wide stable working voltage of 1.75 V and excellent capacitance retention of 96% over 20 000 cycles for a single device. Our work highlights the promise of 3D layered materials as well-dispersed functional materials for large-scale printed flexible energy storage devices.

One way biological creatures exploit their soft tissues and muscles is to quickly adjust to their environments in a flexible manner. Artificial soft material actuators have been inspired by these complex motions and studied to mimic or even exceed these biological systems. A widely adopted soft actuation method is by controlling pressure changes inside a hollow structure through the use of pneumatic systems, where inflating the structure would cause it to deform in different directions depending on its geometrical design. Instead, this work investigated actuation by vaporizing embedded liquid in a soft structure. In particular, ultrasonic waves can be directed to excite the structure that is partially filled with a small amount of ethanol, whereby atomization ejects small droplets of vaporized ethanol into the chamber to inflate the overall structure. As compared to boiling, evaporation by ultrasonic atomization is much faster and occurs at a lower temperature. Furthermore, tethered tubes are unnecessary, since ultrasonic waves can propagate through the structure. Here, soft actuation through ultrasonic atomization was analyzed by comparing the results from both experiments and numerical models. In addition, a soft robotic gripper was designed and fabricated to hold onto various objects.
