Abstract
The nonclassical ten-pi-electron 5,5-fused thieno[3,4-c]thiadiazole (TTD) unit is an excellent building block for constructing sub-silicon-band gap organic semiconductors. However, no small molecule acceptor (SMA) materials based on TTD have been reported despite the fact that high-sensitivity near-infrared organic photodetectors (OPDs) are generally achieved by using SMAs. In this work, we report a TTD-based narrow band gap (0.95 eV) SMA material TTD(DTC-2FIC)2 with strong near-infrared absorption. Employing PTB7-Th as a donor, OPDs based on TTD(DTC-2FIC)2 exhibit an optimized responsivity of 0.095 (±0.007) A W-1 at 1100 nm and sustain a decent responsivity of 0.074 (±0.008) A W-1 at 1200 nm. Moreover, a good specific detectivity over 1 × 1011 Jones is achieved at a wavelength of 1200 nm. Detailed characterizations imply that the performance of TTD(DTC-2FIC)2-based OPDs may be substantially improved by choosing lower-mixing donors with shallower energy levels. This work demonstrates that SMAs incorporating TTD as the core unit hold promise for constructing high-sensitivity sub-silicon-band gap OPDs.

Abstract
Developing versatile systems that can concurrently achieve energy saving and energy generation is critical to accelerate carbon neutrality. However, challenges on designing highly effective, large scale, and multifunctional photonic film hinder the concurrent combination of passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) and utilization of sustainable clean energies. Herein, a versatile scalable photonic film (Ecoflex@h-BN) with washable property and excellent mechanical stability is developed by combining the excellent scattering efficiency of the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanoplates with the high infrared emissivity and ideal triboelectric negative property of the Ecoflex matrix. Strikingly, sufficiently high solar reflectance (0.92) and ideal emissivity (0.97) endow the Ecoflex@h-BN film with subambient cooling effect of ≈9.5 °C at midday during the continuous outdoor measurements. In addition, the PDRC Ecoflex@h-BN film-based triboelectric nanogenerator (PDRC-TENG) exhibits a maximum peak power density of 0.5 W m-2 . By reasonable structure design, the PDRC-TENG accomplishes effective wind energy harvesting and can successfully drive the electronic device. Meanwhile, an on-skin PDRC-TENG is fabricated to harvest human motion energy and monitor moving states. This research provides a novel design of a multifunctional PDRC photonic film, and offers a versatile strategy to realize concurrent PDRC and sustainable energies harvesting.

Abstract
Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) materials with sustainable energy harvesting capability is critical to concurrently reduce traditional cooling energy utilized for thermal comfort and transfer natural clean energies into electricity. Herein, a versatile photonic film (Ecoflex@BTO@UAFL) based on a novel fluorescent luminescence color passive radiative cooling with triboelectric and piezoelectric effect is developed by filling the dielectric BaTiO3 (BTO) nanoparticles and ultraviolet absorption fluorescent luminescence (UAFL) powder into the elastic Ecoflex matrix. Test results demonstrate that the Ecoflex@BTO@UAFL photonic film exhibits a maximum passive radiative cooling effect of ∽10.1 °C in the daytime. Meanwhile, its average temperature drop in the daytime is ~4.48 °C, which is 0.91 °C higher than that of the Ecoflex@BTO photonic film (3.56 °C) due to the addition of UAFL material. Owing to the high dielectric constant and piezoelectric effect of BTO nanoparticles, the maximum power density (0.53 W m-2 , 1 Hz @ 10 N) of the Ecoflex@BTO photonic film-based hybrid nanogenerator is promoted by 70.9% compared to the Ecoflex film-based TENG. This work provides an ingenious strategy for combining PDRC effects with triboelectric and piezoelectric properties, which can spontaneously achieve thermal comfort and energy conservation, offering a new insight into multifunctional energy saving.

Abstract
For a Rydberg atom-based sensor to change its sensing frequency, the wavelength of the Rydberg state excitation laser must be altered. The wavelength shifts required can be on the order of 10 nm. A fast-tunable narrow-linewidth laser with broadband tuning capability is required. Here, we present a demonstration of a laser system that can rapidly switch a coupling laser as much as 8 nm in less than 50 μs. The laser system comprises a frequency-stabilized continuous wave laser and an electro-optic frequency comb. A filter enables selection of individual comb lines. A high-speed electro-optic modulator is used to tune the selected comb line to a specific frequency, i.e., an atomic transition. Through Rydberg atom-based sensing experiments, we demonstrate frequency hopping between two Rydberg states and a fast switching time of 400 μs, which we show can be reduced to ∼50 μs with a ping-pong scheme. If updating the RF frequency is not required during frequency hopping, a 200 ns switching time can be achieved. These results showcase the potential of the laser system for advanced Rydberg atom-based radio frequency sensing applications, like communications and radar.

Abstract
Metal oxide gas sensors have long faced the challenge of low response and poor selectivity, especially at room temperature (RT). Herein, a synergistic effect of electron scattering and space charge transfer is proposed to comprehensively improve gas sensing performance of n-type metal oxides toward oxidizing NO2 (electron acceptor) at RT. To this end, the porous SnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) assembled from grains of about 4 nm with rich oxygen vacancies are developed through an acetylacetone-assisted solvent evaporation approach combined with precise N2 and air calcinations. The results show that the as-fabricated porous SnO2 NPs sensor exhibits an unprecedented NO2 -sensing performance, including outstanding response (Rg /Ra = 772.33 @ 5 ppm), fast recovery (<2 s), an extremely low detection limit (10 ppb), and exceptional selectivity (response ratio >30) at RT. Theoretical calculation and experimental tests confirm that the excellent NO2 sensing performance is mainly attributed to the unique synergistic effect of electron scattering and space charge transfer. This work proposes a useful strategy for developing high-performance RT NO2 sensors using metal oxides, and provides an in-depth understanding for the basic characteristics of the synergistic effect on gas sensing, paving the way for efficient and low power consumption gas detection at RT.

Abstract
The limited sensitivity of photovoltaic-type photodiodes makes it indispensable to use pre-amplifier circuits for effectively extracting electrical signals, especially when detecting dim light. Additionally, the photomultiplication photodiodes with light amplification function suffer from potential damages caused by high power consumption under strong light. In this work, by adopting the synergy strategy of thermal-induced interfacial structural traps and blocking layers, we develop a dual-mode visible-near infrared organic photodiode with bias-switchable photomultiplication and photovoltaic operating modes, exhibiting high specific detectivity (~1012 Jones) and fast response speed (0.05/3.03 ms for photomultiplication-mode; 8.64/11.14 μs for photovoltaic-mode). The device also delivers disparate external quantum efficiency in two optional operating modes, showing potential in simultaneously detecting dim and strong light ranging from ~10-9 to 10-1 W cm-2. The general strategy and working mechanism are validated in different organic layers. This work offers an attractive option to develop bias-switchable multi-mode organic photodetectors for various application scenarios.

Abstract
The recent emergence of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) has energized the field of organic photodiodes (OPDs) and made major breakthroughs in their critical photoelectric characteristics. Yet, stabilizing inverted NF-OPDs remains challenging because of the intrinsic degradation induced by improper interfaces. Herein, a tin ion-chelated polyethyleneimine ethoxylated (denoted as PEIE-Sn) is proposed as a generic cathode interfacial layer (CIL) of NF-OPDs. The chelation between tin ions and nitrogen/oxygen atoms in PEIE-Sn contributes to the interface compatibility with efficient NFAs. The PEIE-Sn can effectively endow the devices with optimized cascade alignment and reduced interface defects. Consequently, the PEIE-Sn-OPD exhibits properties of anti-environmental interference, suppressed dark current, and accelerated interfacial electron extraction and transmission. As a result, the unencapsulated PEIE-Sn-OPD delivers high specific detection and fast response speed and shows only slight attenuation in photoelectric performance after exposure to air, light, and heat. Its superior performance outperforms the incumbent typical counterparts (ZnO, SnO2 , and PEIE as the CILs) from metrics of both stability and photoelectric characteristics. This finding suggests a promising strategy for stabilizing NF-OPDs by designing appropriate interface layers.

Abstract
Although 2D materials are widely explored for data storage and neuromorphic computing, the construction of 2D material-based memory devices with optoelectronic responsivity in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region for in-sensor reservoir computing (RC) at the optical communication band still remains a big challenge. In this work, an electronic/optoelectronic memory device enabled by tellurium-based 2D van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure is reported, where the ferroelectric CuInP2 S6 and tellurium channel endow this device with both the long-term potentiation/depression by voltage pulses and short-term potentiation by 1550 nm laser pulses (a typical wavelength in the conventional fiber optical communication band). Leveraging the rich dynamics, a fully memristive in-sensor RC system that can simultaneously sense, decode, and learn messages transmitted by optical fibers is demonstrated. The reported 2D vdW heterostructure-based memory featuring both the long-term and short-term memory behaviors using electrical and optical pulses in SWIR region has not only complemented the wide spectrum of applications of 2D materials family in electronics/optoelectronics but also paves the way for future smart signal processing systems at the edge.

Abstract
The performance of chemical sensors is dominated by the perception of the target molecules via sensitive materials and the conduction of sensing signals through transducers. However, sensing and transduction are spatially and temporally independent in most chemical sensors, which poses a challenge for device miniaturization and integration. Herein, we proposed a sensing-transducing coupled strategy by embedding the high piezoresponse Sm-PMN-PT ceramic (d33 = ∼1500 pC N-1) into a moisture-sensitive polyetherimide (PEI) polymer matrix via electrospinning to conjugate the humidity perception and signal transduction synchronously and sympatrically. Through phase-field simulation and experimental characterization, we reveal the principle of design of the composition and topological structure of sensing-transducing coupled piezoelectric (STP) textiles in order to modulate the recognition, conversion, and sensitive component utilization ratio of the prepared active humidity sensors, achieving high sensitivity (0.9%/RH%) and fast response (20 s) toward ambient moisture. The prepared STP textile can be worn on the human body to realize emotion recognition, exercise status monitoring, and physiological stress identification. This work offers unprecedented insights into the coupling mechanism between chemisorption-related interfacial state and energy conversion efficiency and opens up a new paradigm for developing autonomous, multifunctional and highly sensitive flexible chemical sensors.

Abstract
Electronic textiles are fundamentally changing the way we live. However, the inability to effectively recycle them is a considerable burden to the environment. In this study, we developed a cotton fiber-based piezoresistive textile (CF p-textile) for biomonitoring which is biocompatible, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly. These CF p-textiles were fabricated using a scalable dip-coating method to adhere MXene flakes to porous cotton cellulose fibers. The adhesion is made stronger by strong hydrogen bonding between MXene flakes and hierarchically porous cotton cellulose fibers. This cotton-fiber system provides a high sensitivity of 17.73 kPa-1 in a wide pressure range (100 Pa-30 kPa), a 2 Pa subtle pressure detection limit, fast response/recovery time (80/40 ms), and good cycle stability (over 5, 000 cycles). With its compelling sensing performance, the CF p-textile can detect various human biomechanical activities, including pulsation, muscle movement, and swallowing, while still being comfortable to wear. Moreover, the cotton cellulose is decomposed into low-molecular weight cellulose or glucose as a result of the 1,4-glycosidic bond breakage when exposed to acid or during natural degradation, which allows the electronic textile to be biodegradable. This work offers an ecologically-benign, cost-effective and facile approach to fabricating high-performance wearable bioelectronics.

Abstract
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is one of the most hazardous toxic pollutants to human health and the environment. However, deficiencies of low sensitivity and poor selectivity at room temperature (RT) restrain the application of NO2 sensors. Herein, the edge-enriched MoS2 nanosheets modified porous nanosheets-assembled three-dimensional (3D) In2O3 microflowers have been synthesized to improve the sensitivity and selectivity of NO2 detection at RT. The results show that the In2O3/MoS2 composite sensor exhibits a response as high as 343.09-5 ppm NO2, which is 309 and 72.5 times higher than the sensors based on the pristine MoS2 and In2O3. The composite sensor also shows short recovery time (37 s), excellent repeatability and long-term stability. Furthermore, the response of the In2O3/MoS2 sensor to NO2 is at least 30 times higher than that of other gases, proving the ultrahigh selectivity of the sensor. The outstanding sensing performance of the In2O3/MoS2 sensor can be attributed to the synergistic effect and abundant active sites originating from the p-n heterojunction, exposed edge structures and the designed 2D/3D hybrid structure. The strategy proposed herein is expected to provide a useful reference for the development of high-performance RT NO2 sensors.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) sensors are in urgent demand in the field of hermetic environment detection and metabolic disease diagnosis. However, most of the reported room-temperature (RT) H2S sensors based on transition metal oxides/salts unavoidably suffer from the poisoning effect, resulting in the unrecoverable behavior to restrain their application. Herein, copper(II) chloride-doped polyaniline emeraldine salt (PANI-CuCl2) was devised for RT-recoverable H2S detection, where the copper ion (Cu2+) was designed as a partial substitution of protons (H+) in PANI. The prepared gas sensor exhibited full recovery capability toward 0.25-10 ppm H2S, good repeatability, and long-term stability under 80% RH. Meanwhile, the changes of the PANI-CuCl2 during the H2S sensing period were analyzed via multiple analytical methods to reveal the reversible sensing behavior. Results showed that doping of Cu2+ not only promoted the PANI's response through the formation of conductive copper sulfide (CuS) and following H+ redoping in the PANI but also facilitated the sensor's recovery behavior because of the Cu2+ regeneration under the H+/oxygen environment. This work not only proves the changes of the interaction between the PANI and Cu2+ during the H2S sensing period but also sheds light on designing recoverable H2S sensors based on transition metal salts.

Abstract
Piezoelectric nanocomposites with oxide fillers in a polymer matrix combine the merit of high piezoelectric response of the oxides and flexibility as well as biocompatibility of the polymers. Understanding the role of the choice of materials and the filler-matrix architecture is critical to achieving desired functionality of a composite towards applications in flexible electronics and energy harvest devices. Herein, a high-throughput phase-field simulation is conducted to systematically reveal the influence of morphology and spatial orientation of an oxide filler on the piezoelectric, mechanical, and dielectric properties of the piezoelectric nanocomposites. It is discovered that with a constant filler volume fraction, a composite composed of vertical pillars exhibits superior piezoelectric response and electromechanical coupling coefficient as compared to the other geometric configurations. An analytical regression is established from a linear regression-based machine learning model, which can be employed to predict the performance of nanocomposites filled with oxides with a given set of piezoelectric coefficient, dielectric permittivity, and stiffness. This work not only sheds light on the fundamental mechanism of piezoelectric nanocomposites, but also offers a promising material design strategy for developing high-performance polymer/inorganic oxide composite-based wearable electronics.

Abstract
The high moisture level of exhaled gases unavoidably limits the sensitivity of breath analysis via wearable bioelectronics. Inspired by pulmonary lobe expansion/contraction observed during respiration, a respiration-driven triboelectric sensor (RTS) was devised for simultaneous respiratory biomechanical monitoring and exhaled acetone concentration analysis. A tin oxide-doped polyethyleneimine membrane was devised to play a dual role as both a triboelectric layer and an acetone sensing material. The prepared RTS exhibited excellent ability in measuring respiratory flow rate (2-8 L/min) and breath frequency (0.33-0.8 Hz). Furthermore, the RTS presented good performance in biochemical acetone sensing (2-10 ppm range at high moisture levels), which was validated via finite element analysis. This work has led to the development of a novel real-time active respiratory monitoring system and strengthened triboelectric-chemisorption coupling sensing mechanism.

Abstract
Electrode microfabrication technologies such as lithography and deposition have been widely applied in wearable electronics to boost interfacial coupling efficiency and device performance. However, a majority of these approaches are restricted by expensive and complicated processing techniques, as well as waste discharge. Here, helium plasma irradiation is employed to yield a molybdenum microstructured electrode, which is constructed into a flexible piezoresistive pressure sensor based on a Ti3 C2 Tx nanosheet-immersed polyurethane sponge. This electrode engineering strategy enables the smooth transition between sponge deformation and MXene interlamellar displacement, giving rise to high sensitivity (1.52 kPa-1 ) and good linearity (r2 = 0.9985) in a wide sensing range (0-100 kPa) with a response time of 226 ms for pressure detection. In addition, both the experimental characterization and finite element simulation confirm that the hierarchical structures modulated by pore size, plasma bias, and MXene concentration play a crucial role in improving the sensing performance. Furthermore, the as-developed flexible pressure sensor is demonstrated to measure human radial pulse, detect finger tapping, foot stomping, and perform object identification, revealing great feasibility in wearable biomonitoring and health assessment.

Abstract
NiWO4 microflowers with a large surface area up to 79.77 m2·g-1 are synthesized in situ via a facile coprecipitation method. The NiWO4 microflowers are further decorated with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and assembled to form composites for NH3 detection. The as-fabricated composite exhibits an excellent NH3 sensing response/recovery time (53 s/177 s) at a temperature of 460 °C, which is a 10-fold enhancement compared to that of pristine NiWO4. It also demonstrates a low detection limit of 50 ppm; the improved sensing performance is attributed to the porous structure of the material, the large specific surface area, and the p-n heterojunction formed between the MWNTs and NiWO4. The gas sensitivity of the sensor based on daisy-like NiWO4/MWCNTs shows that the sensor based on 10 mol % (MWN10) has the best gas sensitivity, with a sensitivity of 13.07 to 50 ppm NH3 at room temperature and a detection lower limit of 20 ppm. NH3, CO2, NO2, SO2, CO, and CH4 are used as typical target gases to construct the NiWO4/MWCNTs gas-sensitive material and study the research method combining density functional theory calculations and experiments. By calculating the morphology and structure of the gas-sensitive material NiWO4(110), the MWCNT load samples, the vacancy defects, and the influence law and internal mechanism of gas sensitivity were described.

Abstract
In mammals, physiological respiration involves respiratory cycles of inhaled and exhaled breaths, which has traditionally been an underutilized resource potentially encompassing a wealth of physiologically relevant information as well as clues to potential diseases. Recently, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have been widely adopted for self-powered respiration monitoring owing to their compelling features, such as decent biocompatibility, wearing comfort, low-cost, and high sensitivity to respiration activities in the aspect of low frequency and slight amplitude body motions. Physiological respiration behaviors and exhaled chemical regents can be precisely and continuously monitored by TENG-based respiration sensors for personalized health care. This article presents an overview of TENG enabled self-powered respiration monitoring, with a focus on the working principle, sensing materials, functional structures, and related applications in both physical respiration motion detection and chemical breath analysis. Concepts and approaches for acquisition of physical information associated with respiratory rate and depth are covered in the first part. Then the sensing mechanism, theoretical modeling, and applications related to detection of chemicals released from breathing gases are systemically summarized. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of triboelectric effect enabled self-powered respiration monitoring are comprehensively discussed and criticized.

Abstract
Titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) with a distinctive structure, abundant surface chemical groups, and good electrical conductivity has shown great potential in fabricating superior gas sensors, but several challenges, such as low response kinetics, poor reversibility, and serious baseline drift, still remain. In this work, γ-poly(l-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) with a blocking effect is exploited to modify Ti3C2Tx, thereby stimulating the positive response behavior of Ti3C2Tx and improving its gas sensing performance. On account of the unique synergetic interaction between Ti3C2Tx and γ-PGA, the response of the flexible Ti3C2Tx/γ-PGA gas sensor to 50 ppm NO2has been improved to a large extent (average 1127.3%), which is 85 times that of Ti3C2Tx (only 13.2%). Moreover, the as-fabricated Ti3C2Tx/γ-PGA sensor not only exhibits a shorter response/recovery time (average 43.4/3 s) compared with the Ti3C2Tx-based sensor (∼18.5/18.3 min) but also shows good reversibility and repeatability (relative standard deviation (RSD) <1%) at room temperature within 50% relative humidity (RH). The improved gas sensing properties of the Ti3C2Tx/γ-PGA sensor can be attributed to the enhancement of effective adsorption and the blocking effect assisted by water molecules. Furthermore, the gas sensing response of the Ti3C2Tx/γ-PGA sensor is studied at different RHs, and humidity compensation of the sensor is carried out using the multiple regression method. This work demonstrates a novel strategy to enhance the gas sensing properties of Ti3C2Tx by γ-PGA modification and provides a new way to realize highly responsive gas detection at room temperature.

Abstract
A novel co-spray method was proposed to fabricate a reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) hybrid sensing device utilizing immiscible solution for ammonia detection at room temperature. The spectrum and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) results revealed uniformly crimped morphology and favorable π-π interaction for the hybrid film. The hybrid film-based sensor showed obviously enhanced ammonia sensing performance, such as increased response, reduced response time, and reinforced sensitivity, in comparison to bare rGO, P3HT, and traditional rGO/P3HT layered film-based sensors, which could be attributed to an adsorption energy barrier and the p-n heterojunction effect. The synergetic strengthened sensing mechanism is discussed. Meanwhile, recovery ratio was introduced to evaluate the abnormal baseline drift induced high-response behavior. The excellent sensing properties of the hybrid sensor indicate that the co-spray method could be an alternative process for the preparation of hetero-affinity hybrid films or functional devices.

Abstract
Much effort has focussed on enhancing the humidity-sensing performances of humidity sensors, but their fabrication using facile and low-cost methods is also desirable. In this work, a humidity sensor based on a naturally available nanomaterial, sepiolite nanofibers (SNFs), was facilely fabricated without any expensive raw materials or complex processes. Characterization results show that SNFs have a natural slender nanofiber structure (diameter 20-50 nm) and abundant hydrophilic functional groups (-OH). The results of humidity-sensing tests show that the SNF humidity sensor has outstanding humidity-sensing properties (i.e. large response, good linearity and repeatability) within the relative humidity range from 10.9% to 91.5% at room temperature (25 °C). This work presents a moderate and cost-effective strategy for the fabrication of high-performance humidity sensors using the natural SNF nanomaterial.

Abstract
Polypyrrole (PPy) is a good candidate material for piezoresistive pressure sensors owing to its excellent electrical conductivity and good biocompatibility. However, it remains challenging to fabricate PPy-based flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors with high sensitivity because of the intrinsic rigidity and brittleness of the film composed of dense PPy particles. Here, a rational structure, that is, 3D-conductive and elastic topological film composed of coaxial nanofiber networks, is reported to dramatically improve the sensitivity of flexible PPy-based sensors. The film is prepared through surface modification of electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers by polydopamine (PDA), in order to homogeneously deposit PPy particles on the nanofiber networks with strong interfacial adhesion (PVDF/PDA/PPy, PPP). This unique structure has a high surface area and abundant contact sites, leading to superb sensitivity against a subtle pressure. The as-developed piezoresistive pressure sensor delivers a low limit of detection (0.9 Pa), high sensitivity (139.9 kPa-1), fast response (22 ms), good cycling stability (over 10,000 cycles), and reliability, thereby showing a promising value for applications in the fields of health monitoring and artificial intelligence.

Abstract
Paper, as a flexible, low-cost, lightweight, tailorable, environmental-friendly, degradable, and renewable material, is emerging in electronic devices. Especially, many kinds of paper-based (PB) sensors have been reported for wearable applications in recent years. Among them, the PB gas, humidity, and strain sensors are widely studied for monitoring gas, humidity, and strain from the human body and the environment. However, gas, humidity, and strain often coexist and interact, and the paper itself is hydrophilic and flexible, resulting in that it is still challenging to develop high-performance PB sensors specialized for gas, humidity, and strain detections. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize and discuss them systematically. In this review, we focus on summarizing the state-of-art studies of the PB gas, humidity, and strain sensors. Specifically, the fabrications (electrodes and sensing materials) and applications of PB gas, humidity, and strain sensors are summarized and discussed. The current challenges and the potential trends of PB sensors for gas, humidity, and strain detections are also outlined. This review not only can help readers to understand the development status of the PB gas, humidity, and strain sensors but also is helpful for readers to find out and solve the problems in this field through comparative reading.

Abstract
Fossil fuel internal combustion engines generate and release a huge amount of nitrogen dioxide, leading to respiratory and allergic diseases such as asthma, pneumonia, and possibly tuberculosis. Here we develop an alveolus-inspired membrane sensor (AIMS) for self-powered wearable nitrogen dioxide detection and personal physiological assessment. The bionic AIMS exhibits an excellent sensitivity up to 452.44%, a good linearity of 0.976, and superior selectivity under a NO2 concentration of 50 ppm. Furthermore, the AIMS can also be employed to diagnose human breath behaviors for breath analysis. The fundamental sensing mechanism is established using a combination of thermodynamic analysis, finite-element analysis, and phase-field simulations. It is found that the depolarization field inside the sensitive materials plays a crucial role in the self-powered gas-sensing performance. This work not only provides an efficient, low-cost, portable, and environmentally friendly means for active environmental assessment and personal biomonitoring but also provides a deep understanding of the gas-sensing mechanisms.

Abstract
One key limitation of artificial skin-like materials is the shortened service life caused by mechanical damages during practical applications. The ability to self-heal can effectively extend the material service life, reduce the maintenance cost, and ensure safety. Therefore, it is important and necessary to fabricate materials with simultaneously mechanical and electrical self-healing behavior in a facile and convenient way. Herein, we report a stretchable and conductive self-healing elastomer based on intermolecular networks between poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) through a facile and convenient postreduction and one-pot method. The introduction of rGO provides the PAA-GO elastomers with good mechanical stability and electrical properties. Moreover, this material exhibited both electrical and mechanical self-healing properties. After cutting, the elastomers self-healed quickly (∼30 s) and efficiently (∼95%) at room temperature. The elastomers were accurate and reliable in detecting external strain even after healing. The elastomers were further applied for strain sensors, which were attached directly to human skin to monitor external movements, including finger bending and wrist twisting.

Abstract
Flexible ultrasensitive strain sensors are highly desirable in view of their widespread applications in wearable electronics, health monitoring systems, and smart robots, where subtle strain detection is required. However, traditional fabrication of such sensors was done to prepare sensitive layers on bare or single-sided structural substrates, leading to limited sensitivity. Herein, a stretchable resistive-type strain sensor was demonstrated by self-assembling conductive networks onto a monolithic polydimethylsiloxane substrate with a two-sided topological design, for example, a sinusoid/auxetic binary architecture. The sensitivity of the obtained sensor was greatly improved by 22-fold as compared to the traditional counterpart with a bare substrate. The remarkably good agreement between the experimental results and finite element analysis predictions confirmed that the superior sensitivity is a synergistic effect of local strain enhancement derived from the topological structure on the foreside and an additional strain concentration and a reduced Poisson's ratio from the auxetic arrays on the backside. Furthermore, this sensor can withstand an extreme mechanical force (>750 N) because of the shear stiffening characteristic of the auxetic structure. Benefiting from the characteristics of ultrahigh sensitivity (gauge factor ∼1744 at 5%), low detection limit (<0.05%), and long-term durability (>500 loading cycles), this as-prepared sensor shows promise in practical applications of high-performance wearable electronics.

Abstract
Developing a facile, cost-saving, and environment-friendly method for fabricating a multifunctional humidity sensor is of great significance to expand its practical applications. However, most humidity sensors involve a complex fabrication process, resulting in their high cost and narrow application fields. Herein, a multifunctional paper-based humidity sensor with many advantages is proposed. This humidity sensor is fabricated using conventional printing paper and flexible conductive adhesive tape by a facile pasting method, in which the paper is used as both the humidity-sensing material and the substrate of the sensor. Owing to the moderate hydrophilicity of the paper and the rational structure design of the paper-based humidity sensor, the sensor exhibits an excellent humidity-sensing response of more than 103 as well as good linearity ( R2 = 0.9549) within the humidity range from 41.1 to 91.5% relative humidity. Furthermore, the paper-based humidity sensor has good flexibility and compatibility, endowing it with multifunctional applications for breath rate, baby diaper wetting, noncontact switch, skin humidity, and spatial localization monitoring. Although the resistance of the paper-based humidity sensor is relatively large, the humidity-sensing response signals of the sensor can be conveniently processed by the designed signal processing system. The readily available starting materials and facile fabrication technique provide useful strategies for the development of multifunctional humidity sensors.

Abstract
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films possess multifunctional ability for piezo/pyro/ferroelectronic applications. One critical challenge of the traditional techniques is the complicated fabrication process for obtaining the poled films. In this work, the PVDF film is facilely prepared by the solution cast on hydrophilically treated substrates. The obtained PVDF films exhibit fairly good pyroelectricity comparable to those fabricated by thermal poling, indicating the film is self-polarized. This result is attributed to the hydrogen-bonding-induced orderly arrangement of the first sub-nanolayer at the bottom, which serves as a "seed layer" and triggered alignment of the rest of the film in a layer-by-layer approach. Additionally, to suppress the piezoelectric noise, a pyroelectric sensor with a novel bilayer structure is developed using the as-prepared PVDF film. Compared with the conventional monolayer sensor, the signal-to-noise ratio of the bilayer one is drastically improved to 38 dB from 18 dB. The above results provide great possibilities for achieving a high-performance wearable pyroelectric sensor with reduced cost and simple procedures.

Abstract
Ammonia gas sensors are very essential in many industries and everyday life. However, their complicated fabrication process, severe environmental fabrication requirements and desorption of residual ammonia molecules result in high cost and hinder their market acceptance. Here, laser direct writing is used to fabricate three parallel porous 3D graphene lines on a polyimide (PI) tape to simply construct an ammonia gas sensor. The middle one works as an ammonia sensing element and the other two on both sides work as heaters to improve the desorption performance of the sensing element to ammonia gas molecules. The graphene lines were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The response and recovery time of the sensor without heating are 214 s and 222 s with a sensitivity of 0.087% ppm−1 for sensing 75 ppm ammonia gas, respectively. The experimental results prove that under the optimized heating temperature of about 70 °C the heaters successfully help implement complete desorption of residual NH3 showing a good sensitivity and cyclic stability.

Abstract
NAD+ (oxidized form of NAD:nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)-reducing soluble [NiFe]-hydrogenase (SH) is phylogenetically related to NADH (reduced form of NAD+):quinone oxidoreductase (complex I), but the geometrical arrangements of the subunits and Fe-S clusters are unclear. Here, we describe the crystal structures of SH in the oxidized and reduced states. The cluster arrangement is similar to that of complex I, but the subunits orientation is not, which supports the hypothesis that subunits evolved as prebuilt modules. The oxidized active site includes a six-coordinate Ni, which is unprecedented for hydrogenases, whose coordination geometry would prevent O2 from approaching. In the reduced state showing the normal active site structure without a physiological electron acceptor, the flavin mononucleotide cofactor is dissociated, which may be caused by the oxidation state change of nearby Fe-S clusters and may suppress production of reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
We report the fabrication and performance of a silicon-on-glass micro gas chromatography eight-capillary column based on microelectromechanical systems technology that is 50 cm long, 30 μm wide, and 300 μm deep. According to the theory of a gas chromatography column, an even gas flow among different capillaries play a vital role in the peak broadening. Thus, a flow splitter structure is designed by the finite element method through the comparison of the velocity distributions of the eight-capillary columns with and without splitter as well as an open tubular column. The simulation results reveal that eight-capillary column with flow splitters can receive more uniform flow velocity in different capillaries, hence decreases the peak broadening and in turn increases the separation efficiency. The separation experiment results show that the separation efficiency of about 22 000 plates/m is achieved with the chip column temperature programmed for analysis of odorous sulfur pollutants. This figure is nearly two times higher than that of the commercial capillary column coated the similar stationary phase. And the separation time of all the components in the microcolumn is less than 3.8 min, which is faster than the commercial capillary column.

Abstract
Because of either thermal/chemical instability or high optical loss in noble metal nanostructures, searching for alternative plasmonic materials is becoming more and more urgent, considering the practical biosensing applications under various extreme conditions. In this work, titanium nitride (TiN), a low-loss metal-like material with both excellent thermal and excellent chemical stabilities, was proposed to composite with Ag hollow nanosphere (HNS) nanostructures as an effective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate to realize both highly sensitive and highly stable molecular detection. Because of the multiple-mode local surface plasmon resonance around the spherical composite nanospheres and the "gap effect" derived from the ultrasmall nanogaps within the precisely controlled plasmonic arrays, an intensively enhanced local field was successfully induced on this SERS substrate. Combined with the unique charge transferring process between Ag and TiN, a synergistically enhanced SERS sensitivity involving both physical and chemical mechanisms was achieved. Especially, with the isolation of TiN, a time-durable Raman detection on these TiN-Ag HNS arrays was accomplished, showing great potential for practical applications.

Abstract
ZnO nanoparticles and graphene oxide (GO) thin film were deposited on gold interdigital electrodes (IDEs) in sequence via simple spraying process, which was further restored to ZnO/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) bilayer thin film by the thermal reduction treatment and employed for ammonia (NH3) detection at room temperature. rGO was identified by UV-vis absorption spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS) analyses, and the adhesion between ZnO nanoparticles and rGO nanosheets might also be formed. The NH3-sensing performances of pure rGO film and ZnO/rGO bilayer films with different sprayed GO amounts were compared. The results showed that ZnO/rGO film sensors exhibited enhanced response properties, and the optimal GO amount of 1.5 ml was achieved. Furthermore, the optimal ZnO/rGO film sensor showed an excellent reversibility and fast response/recovery rate within the detection range of 10-50 ppm. Meanwhile, the sensor also displayed good repeatability and selectivity to NH3. However, the interference of water molecules on the prepared sensor is non-ignorable; some techniques should be researched to eliminate the effect of moisture in the further work. The remarkably enhanced NH3-sensing characteristics were speculated to be attributed to both the supporting role of ZnO nanoparticles film and accumulation heterojunction at the interface between ZnO and rGO. Thus, the proposed ZnO/rGO bilayer thin film sensor might give a promise for high-performance NH3-sensing applications.

Abstract
To achieve both high speed and separation efficiency in the separation of a mixture of nerve and blister agent simulants, a high-aspect-ratio micro-fabricated multi-capillary column (MCC, a 50-cm-long, 450-μm-deep, and 60-μm-wide four-capillary column) was fabricated by the application of the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) techniques. Mixtures of chemical warfare agent (CWA) simulants - dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), triethyl phosphate (TEP), and methyl salicylate - were used as samples. The fabricated MCC allowed for the separation of all the components of the gaseous mixture within 24 s, even when the difference in boiling point was 4°C, as in the case of TEP and methyl salicylate. Furthermore, interfering agents - dichloromethane, ethanol, and toluene - were also included in the subsequent gaseous mixture samples. The boiling point of these six components ranged from 78°C to 219°C. All six components were clearly separated within 70 s. This study is the first to report the clear separation of gas mixtures of components with close boiling points. The column efficiency was experimentally determined to be 12,810 plates/m.

Abstract
466 Background: Concurrent chemoradiation with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is widely accepted for cancer treatment. However, the interactions between radiation and 5-FU remain unclear. We evaluated the influence of local irradiation on the pharmacokinetics of 5-FU in rats. Methods: The single-fraction radiation was delivered to the whole pelvic fields of Sprague-Dawley rats from a linear accelerator after computerized tomography-based planning. 5-FU at 100 mg/kg was intravenously infused 24 hours after radiation. A high-performance liquid chromatography system equipped with a UV detector was used to measure 5-FU in the blood. Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) inhibitor I was administered to the rats to examine whether or not RT modulation of 5-FU pharmacokinetic parameters could be blocked. Results: Compared with sham-irradiated controls, whole pelvic irradiation reduced the area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) of 5-FU in plasma and, in contrast, increased the AUC in bile in a radiation dose-dependent manner. Based on protein array analysis, the amount of plasma MMP-8 was increased by whole pelvic irradiation (2.8-fold by 0.5 Gy and 5.3-fold by 2 Gy) in comparison with controls. Pretreatment with MMP-8 inhibitor reversed the effect of irradiation on AUC of 5-FU in plasma. Conclusions: Local irradiation may modulate the systemic pharmacokinetics of 5-FU through stimulating the release of MMP-8. This unexpected influence is worthy of further investigation and for consideration in clinical practice of radiotherapy for cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
