We have designed a series of mechanochromic devices inspired by nature with the capabilities of changing transparency and "switching on/off" luminescence in response to mechanical stimuli. The key to accomplish these excellent optical properties is to control strain-induced surface engineering, that is, the longitudinal cracks opening and transverse invaginated folds. All of these devices are comprised of a rigid thin layer atop polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based elastomer, which can be facilely and quickly fabricated. For transparency change mechanochromism, the folds and cracks with excellent light trapping and scattering capabilities can endow high opaqueness to the originally highly transparent samples. The evolution of crack opening and fold-ridge mechanisms are captured through finite analysis that incorporates damage and cracks in the rigid thin layer. For luminescent mechanochromism, the strain-tunable cracks on the UV shield layer act as "gates" to mediate the traveling of UV light to "switch on/off" the luminescence of mechanochromism. This device exhibits a remarkably high strain responsive sensitivity, demonstrating an excellent sensing capability for detecting mechanical failure or damage. All the mechanochromisms also show outstanding durability and reversibility.

The evolution of Fermi surface (FS) states of NdFeAs1−xPxO0.9F0.1 single crystals with As/P substitution has been investigated. The critical temperature Tc and the power-law exponent (n) of temperature-dependent resistivity [ρ(T)=ρ0+ATn] show a clear correlation above x=0.2, suggesting that Tc is enhanced with increasing bosonic fluctuations in the same type of FS state. Around x=0.2, all the transport properties show anomalies, indicating that x∼0.2 is the critical composition of a drastic FS change. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy has more directly revealed the distinct change of FS around x=0.2, that one hole FS disappears at the Brillouin zone center and the other FS with a propellerlike shape appears at the zone corner with decreasing x. These results are indicative of the existence of two types of FS states with different nesting conditions that are related with two Tc-raising mechanisms in this system.

Molybdenum ditelluride （MoTe2）, which is an important transition-metal dichalcogenide, has attracted considerable interest owing to its unique properties, such as its small bandgap and large Seebeck coefficient. However, the batch production of monolayer MoTe2 has been rarely reported. In this study, we demonstrate the synthesis of large-domain （edge length exceeding 30 μm）, monolayer MoTe2 from chemical vapor deposition-grown monolayer MoS2 using a chalcogen atom-exchange synthesis route. An in-depth investigation of the tellurization process reveals that the substitution of S atoms by Te is prevalently initiated at the edges and grain boundaries of the monolayer MoS2, which differs from the homogeneous selenization of MoS2 flakes with the formation of alloyed Mo-S-Se hybrids. Moreover, we detect a large compressive strain （approximately -10%） in the transformed MoTe2 lattice, which possibly drives the phase transition from 2H to 1T＇ at the reaction temperature of 500 ℃. This phase change is substantiated by experimental facts and first-principles calculations. This work introduces a novel route for the templated synthesis of two-dimensional layered materials through atom substitutional chemistry and provides a new pathway for engineering the strain and thus the intriguing physics and chemistry.

Supply of sustainable clean water is an activity that must be carried out towards smart cities. Nevertheless, the availability of water is decreasing both in quality and quantity. Wastewater including domestic wastewater is a potential source that can be reused as clean water supply dealing with water scarcity. This is due to domestic wastewater is produced continuously in large amount. In addition, reuse can reduce the total cost of handling wastewater. One modern technology that can be used for domestic wastewater treatment is membrane technology. Characteristics, various types, advantages, disadvantages, and challenges of membrane technology for domestic wastewater were discussed. This paper presents a review of domestic wastewater reuse by using membrane technology. More specifically this paper discusses domestic wastewater.

High‐Ni layered oxides are promising next‐generation cathodes for lithium‐ion batteries owing to their high capacity and lower cost. However, as the Ni content increases over 70 %, they have a high dynamic affinity towards moisture and CO 2 in ambient air, primarily reacting to form LiOH, Li 2 CO 3 , and LiHCO 3 on the surface, which is commonly termed “residual lithium”. Air exposure occurs after synthesis as it is common practice to handle and store them under ambient conditions. The air exposure leads to significant performance losses, and hampers the electrode fabrication, impeding their practical viability. Herein, we show that substituting a small amount of Al for Ni in the crystal lattice notably improves the chemical stability against air by limiting the formation of LiOH, Li 2 CO 3 , LiHCO 3 , and NiO in the near‐surface region. The Al‐doped high‐Ni oxides display a high capacity retention with excellent rate capability and cycling stability after being exposed to air for 30 days.
