Understanding water dynamics at material interfaces is crucial for applications in biotechnology, electrochemistry, and energy systems. In this study, we employed Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring to investigate the hydration states and ion interactions of functionalized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) films. By applying controlled potentials, we monitored ion absorption and desorption while using Gaussian fitting to analyze the O-H stretching bands. Our results revealed that sulfate ions (SO) compete with water molecules at PEDOT interfaces with hydroxyl groups, whereas perchlorate ions (ClO) exhibit minimal interference due to their weak water interactions. For PEDOT functionalized with zwitterionic phosphorylcholine groups, higher levels of intermediate water and nonfreezing water mitigated dehydration in saline environments. This work highlights the synergy between electrochemical and spectroscopic methods for real-time analysis of ion-water-polymer interactions, providing critical insights into interfacial phenomena regulated by applied potential.

Strong multiparticle interactions at room temperature (RT) lead to broadened homogeneous exciton linewidths in 2D semiconductors, degrading the quality of excitonic mode and emission. By coupling a Mie resonator with monolayer WS 2 , we achieve narrowed linewidths at RT, approaching the theoretical limit at 0 Kelvin.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements at the oxygen (O) K edge were performed to investigate the magnetic polarization of ligand O atoms in the weak ferromagnetic (WFM) phase of the Ir perovskite compound Sr2IrO4. With the onset of the WFM phase below TN≃240 K, XMCD signals corresponding to XAS peaks respectively identified as originating from the magnetic moments of apical and planar oxygen (OA and OP) in the IrO6 octahedra were observed. The observation of magnetic moments at OA sites is consistent (except for the relative orientation) with that suggested by prior muon spin rotation (µSR) experiment in the noncollinear antiferromagnetic (NC-AFM) phase below TM≈100 K. Assuming that the OA magnetic moment observed by µSR is also responsible for the corresponding XMCD signal, the magnetic moment of OP is estimated to be consistent with the previous µSR result. Since the OA XMCD signal is mainly contributed by Ir 5dzx and yz orbitals which also hybridize with OP, it is inferred that the relatively large OP magnetic moment is induced by Ir 5dxy orbitals. Moreover, the inversion of OA moments relative to Ir moments between the two magnetic phases revealed by XMCD suggests the presence of competing magnetic interactions for OA, with which the ordering of OA moments in the NC-AFM phase may be suppressed to TM.

Atomic-scale spatial resolution was achieved in the mapping and spectroscopy of polygonal grain boundaries (GBs) on atomically flat highly oriented pyrolytic graphite using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). These GBs are long-range ordered one-dimensional periodic structures comprising pentagon-heptagon pairs. A comprehensive study combining local electronic, valleytronic, mechanical, and topological properties is conducted on this GB which reveals the interplay between these properties. On the atoms and bonds of individual GB polygons, spatially localized conductance states were probed, in addition to edge states. The spatial extent of these states was observed on GB by bias-dependent imaging. The electron scattering angle at the GB edges was also modulated with a sample bias which exhibited valley flipping and unique quantum interference effects such as backscattering and intervalley scattering. In situ strain-induced mechanical and electronic modifications were observed through surface deformation caused by the STM tip, revealing flattened electronic energy band dispersion and shifts in carrier doping.

Coastal residents have difficulty in fulfilling the needs of clean water due to tidal water and tidal water intrusion. Meanwhile, clean water is a crucial component in carrying out activities of daily life. This initiative aims to provide an alternative solution in the form of technology to treat water polluted by saline water into clean water. This initiative used the method of electrolysis, filtration, and ozonation. Electrolysis has functions to remove salt contained and reduce levels of heavy metals while filtration functions to filter out the impurities in the form of solid particles, and ozonation takes a role to kill bacteria. Moreover, the target output of this work is the creation of a prototype by using this technology as a technology that can treat water polluted by saline water into clean water. The parameters assessed from this initiative are physical, chemical, and biological parameters of clean water. The results of the total test of dissolved solids of water before processing were 7130 ppm while it was 2490 ppm after getting treatment. The decreasing total value of dissolved solids is 65.077%, which indicates that the test was successful. The result of an electrical conductivity test of water before processing is 310 mA while after processing is 88.6 mA. The decrease in the current value of 71.419% indicates that the test was successful. The results of the turbidity test of water before processing are 0 FAU while after getting treatment is 0 FAU. The turbidity value remains 0, which indicates the test was successful. The results of the pH test of water before processing were 5.7 while the result after treatment got 6.1. The increase in pH value towards pH 7 (neutral) indicates that the test was successful. The test results of salt and heavy metals (Fe, Cu, Cl, Na, and Pb) of water before processing were 0.073 ppm, 0.07 ppm, 0.17 ppm, 0.04 ppm, and 4.24 ppm while after processing was 0 ppm, 0 ppm, 0.07 ppm, 0.03 ppm, and 1.36 ppm.
