Solar Energy-Driven Reverse Water Gas Shift Reaction: Photothermal Effect, Photoelectric Activation and Selectivity Regulation.

Excessive carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are one of the main causes of the greenhouse effect. Thermal catalytic reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction, which is a pre reaction for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, is considered an effective way to convert CO2 and synthesize high value-added chemicals in industry. However, traditional thermal catalysis requires a large amount of fossil fuels to drive reactions, which cannot achieve the true goal of carbon neutrality. Photothermal catalysis, as a novel conversion pathway, can achieve efficient CO2 conversion while significantly improving solar energy utilization. This review provides a detailed introduction of CO2 and H2 adsorption/activation and reaction pathways in thermal catalysis, as well as the catalytic mechanisms of thermal and chemical effects in photothermal catalytic RWGS to supply readers valuable insights on the mechanism of photothermal catalytic RWGS reaction and provide a reference for better catalyst design.

Directed Assembly of Ordered Mixed-Spacer Quasi-2D Halide Perovskites through Homomeric Chains of Intermolecular Bonds.

Two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites (HPs) are of significant interest to researchers because of their natural structural frameworks and intriguing optoelectronic properties. However, the direct fabrication of ordered mixed-spacer quasi-2D HPs remains challenging. Herein, a synthetic strategy inspired by the principle of supramolecular synthons is employed for the self-assembly of a series of ordered mixed-spacer bilayered HPs. The key innovation involves the introduction of intermolecular hydrogen bonds using a bifunctional 3-aminopropionitrile cation. Three homogeneous n = 2 structures are obtained, with a subtly ordered perovskite connected by two distinct types of organic cation layers, resulting in a recurrent ABAB' stacking sequence. These three compounds exhibit attractive semiconducting properties. Moderate bandgaps in the range of 2.70 to 2.76 eV with an absorption wavelength range of 448-459 nm exhibit excellent photoelectric response. Moreover, the ordered structures facilitate excellent polarization-sensitive photodetection, with an impressive on/off ratio of 103. The response speed ranged from 298 to 381 µs, and the out-of-plane polarization-related dichroism ratio is determined to be 1.19. Such ordered mixed-spacer bilayered perovskites have not been reported. These results enrich the HPs system and play a significant role in the direct assembly of novel perovskites with ordered structures.

Work Function Tuning of Carbon Electrode to Boost the Charge Extraction in Hole Transport Layer-Free Perovskite Solar Cells.

Perovskite solar cell (PSC) is a promising photovoltaic technology that achieves over 26% power conversion efficiency (PCE). However, the high materials costs, complicated fabrication process, as well as poor long-term stability, are stumbling blocks for the commercialization of the PSCs in normal structures. The hole transport layer (HTL)-free carbon-based PSCs (C-PSCs) are expected to overcome these challenges. However, C-PSCs have suffered from relatively low PCE due to severe energy loss at the perovskite/carbon interface. Herein, the study proposes to boost the hole extraction capability of carbon electrode by incorporating functional manganese (II III) oxide (Mn3O4). It is found that the work function (WF) of the carbon electrode can be finely tuned with different amounts of Mn3O4 addition, thus the interfacial charge transfer efficiency can be maximized. Besides, the mechanical properties of carbon electrode can also be strengthened. Finally, a PCE of 19.03% is achieved. Moreover, the device retains 90% of its initial PCE after 2000 h of storage. This study offers a feasible strategy for fabricating efficient paintable HTL-free C-PSCs.

Multiple Electron Transfer in Semiconductive Ternary D-D'-A Metal-Organic Framework for Enhanced X-Ray Detection and Imaging.

Semiconductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with donor-acceptor (D-A) characteristics have garnered attractive attention due to their capacity for separating and transferring photogenerated charges, making them promising candidates for high-performance X-ray detectors. However, the low charge transfer efficiency between the metal nodes and organic ligands limits the X-ray-to-electricity conversion efficiency of these materials. Herein, an additional photoactive donor (D') is introduced by incorporating a heavy atom-containing polyoxometalate (POM) [α-SiW12O40]4- into a binary {[Ni·bcbp·(H2O)2]·(H2O)4·Cl}n (Ni-bcbp, bcbp: H2bcbp·2Cl = 1,1'-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)(4,4'-bipyridinium) dichloride) MOF, resulting in a semiconductive ternary D-D'-A framework {[Ni2(bcbp)2·(H2O)4·(DMA)]·(SiW12O40)}n (SiW@Ni-bcbp, DMA: dimethylacetamide). The obtained material features an unprecedented porous 8-connected bcu-net structure that accommodates nanoscale [α-SiW12O40]4- counterions, displaying uncommon optoelectronic responses. In contrast to binary Ni-bcbp, the SiW@Ni-bcbp framework exhibits distinctive photochromism and robust X-ray responsiveness, which can be attributed to the synergistic effects of the electron reservoir and multiple photoinduced electron transfer originating from the POMs. As a result, the X-ray detector based on SiW@Ni-bcbp demonstrates a sensitivity of 5741.6 µC Gyair -1 cm-2 with a low detection limit of 0.49 µGyair s-1. Moreover, the devices demonstrated the capability of producing clearness X-ray images, providing a feasible and stable solution for constructing high-performance direct X-ray detectors.

Enhancing Sustainable Energy Conversion Efficiency by Incorporating Photoelectric Responsiveness into Multiporous Ionic Membrane.

The evolution of porous membranes has revitalized their potential application in sustainable osmotic-energy conversion. However, the performance of multiporous membranes deviates significantly from the linear extrapolation of single-pore membranes, primarily due to the occurrence of ion-concentration polarization (ICP). This study proposes a robust strategy to overcome this challenge by incorporating photoelectric responsiveness into permselective membranes. By introducing light-induced electric fields within the membrane, the transport of ions is accelerated, leading to a reduction in the diffusion boundary layer and effectively mitigating the detrimental effects of ICP. The developed photoelectric-responsive covalent-organic-framework membranes exhibit an impressive output power density of 69.6 W m-2 under illumination, surpassing the commercial viability threshold by ≈14-fold. This research uncovers a previously unexplored benefit of integrating optical electric conversion with reverse electrodialysis, thereby enhancing energy conversion efficiency.

Polyacetylene-Based Asymmetric Bicyclic Polymer by Blocking-Cyclization Technique.

A rare asymmetric bicyclic polymer containing different length of conjugated polyacetylene segments is synthesized by metathesis cyclopolymerization-mediated blocking-cyclization technique. The size of each single ring differs from each other, and the unique cyclic polymer topology is controlled by adjusting the feed ratio of monofunctional monomer to catalyst. The topological difference between linear and bicyclic polymers is confirmed by several techniques, and the visualized morphology of asymmetric bicyclic polymer is directly observed without tedious post-modification process. The photoelectric and thermal properties of polymers are investigated. This work expands the pathway for the derivation of cyclic polymers, and such unique topological structure enriches the diversity of cyclic polymer classes.

Optoelectronic Torque Measurement System Based on SAPSO-RBF Algorithm.

The torque is a significant indicator reflecting the comprehensive operational characteristics of a power system. Thus, accurate torque measurement plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and stability of the system. However, conventional torque measurement systems predominantly rely on strain gauges adhered to the shaft, often leading to reduced accuracy, poor repeatability, and non-traceability due to the influence of strain gauge adhesion. To tackle the challenge, this paper introduces a photoelectric torque measurement system. Quadrants of photoelectric sensors are employed to capture minute deformations induced by torque on the rotational axis, converting them into measurable voltage. Subsequently, the system employs the radial basis function neural network optimized by simulated annealing combined with particle swarm algorithm (SAPSO-RBF) to establish a correlation between measured torque values and standard references, thereby calibrating the measured values. Experimental results affirm the system's capability to accurately determine torque measurements and execute calibration, minimizing measurement errors to 0.92%.

A Fusion Tracking Algorithm for Electro-Optical Theodolite Based on the Three-State Transition Model.

This study presents a novel approach to address the autonomous stable tracking issue in electro-optical theodolite operating in closed-loop mode. The proposed methodology includes a multi-sensor adaptive weighted fusion algorithm and a fusion tracking algorithm based on a three-state transition model. A refined recursive formula for error covariance estimation is developed by integrating attenuation factors and least squares extrapolation. This formula is employed to formulate a multi-sensor weighted fusion algorithm that utilizes error covariance estimation. By assigning weighted coefficients to calculate the residual of the newly introduced error term and defining the sensor's unique states based on these coefficients, a fusion tracking algorithm grounded on the three-state transition model is introduced. In cases of interference or sensor failure, the algorithm either computes the weighted fusion value of the multi-sensor measurement or triggers autonomous sensor switching to ensure the autonomous and stable measurement of the theodolite. Experimental results indicate that when a specific sensor is affected by interference or the off-target amount cannot be extracted, the algorithm can swiftly switch to an alternative sensor. This capability facilitates the precise and consistent generation of data, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the tracking system. Furthermore, the algorithm demonstrates robustness across various measurement scenarios.

I-III-VI Quantum Dots and Derivatives: Design, Synthesis, and Properties for Light-Emitting Diodes.

Quantum dots (QDs) are important frontier luminescent materials for future technology in flexible ultrahigh-definition display, optical information internet, and bioimaging due to their outstanding luminescence efficiency and high color purity. I-III-VI QDs and derivatives demonstrate characteristics of composition-dependent band gap, full visible light coverage, high efficiency, excellent stability, and nontoxicity, and hence are expected to be ideal candidates for environmentally friendly materials replacing traditional Cd and Pb-based QDs. In particular, their compositional flexibility is highly conducive to precise control energy band structure and microstructure. Furthermore, the quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) exhibits superior prospects in monochrome display and white illumination. This review summarizes the recent progress of I-III-VI QDs and their application in LEDs. First, the luminescence mechanism is illustrated based on their electronic-band structural characteristics. Second, focusing on the latest progress of I-III-VI QDs, the preparation mechanism, and the regulation of photophysical properties, the corresponding application progress particularly in light-emitting diodes is summarized as well. Finally, we provide perspectives on the overall current status and challenges propose performance improvement strategies in promoting the evolution of QDs and QLEDs, indicating the future directions in this field.

Porphyrin-Based Metal-Organic Framework Materials: Design, Construction, and Application in the Field of Photocatalysis.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel category of porous crystalline materials with an exceptionally high surface area and adjustable pore structure. They possess a designable composition and can be easily functionalized with different units. Porphyrins with conjugated tetrapyrrole macrocyclic structures can absorb light from ultraviolet to visible light regions, and their structures and properties can be facilely regulated by altering their peripheral groups or central metal ions. Porphyrin-based MOFs constructed from porphyrin ligands and metal nodes combine the unique features of porphyrins and MOFs as well as overcoming their respective limitations. This paper reviewed the design and construction, light absorption and charge transfer pathways, and strategy for improving the photocatalytic performance of porphyrin-based MOFs, and highlighted the recent progress in the field of CO2 reduction, hydrogen evolution, organic synthesis, organic pollutant removal, and nitrogen fixation. The intrinsic relationships between the structure and the property of porphyrin-based MOFs received special attention, especially the relationships between the arrangements of porphyrin ligands and metal nods and the charge transfer mechanism. We attempted to provide more valuable information for the design and construction of advanced photocatalysts in the future. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of the porphyrin-based MOFs are also discussed.

Phenanthroline-Mediated Photoelectrical Enhancement in Calix[4]arene-Functionalized Titanium-Oxo Clusters.

Incorporating two organic ligands with different functionalities into a titanium-oxo cluster entity simultaneously can endow the material with their respective properties and provide synergistic performance enhancement, which is of great significance for enriching the structure and properties of titanium-oxo clusters (TOCs). However, the synthesis of such TOCs is highly challenging. In this work, we successfully synthesized a TBC4A-functionalized TOC, [Ti2(TBC4A)2(MeO)2] (Ti2; MeOH = methanol, TBC4A = tert-butylcalix[4]arene). By adjusting the solvent system, we successfully introduced 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) and prepared TBC4A and Phen co-protected [Ti2(TBC4A)2(Phen)2] (Ti2-Phen). Moreover, when Phen was replaced with bulky 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Bphen), [Ti2(TBC4A)2(Bphen)2] (Ti2-Bphen), which is isostructural with Ti2-Phen, was obtained, demonstrating the generality of the synthetic method. Remarkably, Ti2-Phen demonstrates good stability and stronger light absorption, as well as superior photoelectric performance compared to Ti2. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that there exists ligand-to-core charge transfer (LCCT) in Ti2, while an unusual ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT) is present in Ti2-Phen, accompanied by partial LCCT. Therefore, the superior light absorption and photoelectric properties of Ti2-Phen are attributed to the existence of the unusual LLCT phenomenon. This study not only deeply explores the influence of Phen on the performance of the material but also provides a reference for the preparation of materials with excellent photoelectric performance.

Insight into the Role of Rb Doping for Highly Efficient Kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 Solar Cells.

Various copper-related defects in the absorption layer have been a key factor impeding the enhancement of the efficiency of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells. Alkali metal doping is considered to be a good strategy to ameliorate this problem. In this article, Rb-doped CZTSSe (RCZTSSe) thin films were synthesized using the sol-gel technique. The results show that the Rb atom could successfully enter into the CZTSSe lattice and replace the Cu atom. According to SEM results, a moderate amount of Rb doping aided in enhancing the growth of grains in CZTSSe thin films. It was proven that the RCZTSSe thin film had the densest surface morphology and the fewest holes when the doping content of Rb was 2%. In addition, Rb doping successfully inhibited the formation of CuZn defects and correlative defect clusters and promoted the electrical properties of RCZTSSe thin films. Finally, a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 7.32% was attained by the champion RCZTSSe device with a Rb content of 2%. Compared with that of un-doped CZTSSe, the efficiency improved by over 30%. This study offers new insights into the influence of alkali metal doping on suppressing copper-related defects and also presents a viable approach for improving the efficiency of CZTSSe devices.

Towards High-Performance Inverted Mesoporous Perovskite Solar Cell by Using Bathocuproine (BCP).

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are considered the most promising photovoltaic devices to replace silicon-based solar cells because of their low preparation cost and high photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE). Reducing defects in perovskite films is an effective means to improve the efficiency of PSCs. In this paper, a lead chelator was selected and mixed into hole transport layers (HTLs) to design and prepare mesoporous PSCs with the structure of ITO/PTAA(BCP)/Al2O3/PVK/PCBM/BCP/Ag, and its modification effect on the buried interface at the bottom of the perovskite layer in the mesoporous structure was explored. The experimental results show that in the presence of mesoporous alumina, the lead chelator can still play a role in modifying the bottom of the perovskite film. The use of lead chelator as passivation material added to the HTL can effectively reduce the residue of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and decrease the defects at the bottom of the perovskite film, which dramatically improves the device performance. The PCE of the device is increased from 18.03% to 20.78%, which is an increase of 15%. The work in this paper provides an effective method to enhance the performance of PSCs.

Rhodamine 6G/Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Hybrid Nanoscrolls for Enhanced Optoelectronic Performance.

The low light absorption efficiency has seriously hindered the application of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanosheets in the field of optoelectronic devices. Various approaches have been used to improve the performance of TMDC nanosheets. Preparation of one-dimensional TMDC nanoscrolls in combination with photoactive materials has been a promising method to improve their properties recently. In this work, we report a facile method to enhance the optoelectronic performance of TMDC nanoscrolls by wrapping the photoactive organic dye rhodamine (R6G) into them. After R6G molecules were deposited on monolayer TMDC nanosheets by the solution method, the R6G/MoS2 nanoscrolls with lengths up to hundreds of microns were prepared in a short time by dropping a mixture of ammonia and ethanol solution on the R6G/MoS2 nanosheets. The as-obtained R6G/MoS2 nanoscrolls were well characterized by optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy to prove the encapsulation of R6G. There are multiple type II heterojunction interfaces in the R6G/MoS2 nanoscrolls, which can promote the generation of photo-induced carriers and the following electron-hole separation. The separated electrons were transported rapidly along the axial direction of the R6G/MoS2 nanoscrolls, which greatly improves the efficiency of light absorption and photoresponse. Under the irradiation of an incident 405 nm laser, the photoresponsivity, carrier mobility, external quantum efficiency, and detectivity of R6G/MoS2 nanoscrolls were enhanced to 66.07 A/W, 132.93 cm2V-1s-1, 20,261%, and 1.25 × 1012 cm·Hz1/2W-1, which are four orders of magnitude higher than those of monolayer MoS2 nanosheets. Our work indicates that the R6G/TMDC hybrid nanoscrolls could be promising materials for high-performance optoelectronic devices.

The Influence of Temperature on the Photoelectric Properties of GeSe Nanowires.

Using physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology, GeSe nanowires were successfully fabricated by heating GeSe powder at temperatures of 500 °C, 530 °C, 560 °C, 590 °C, and 620 °C. The microstructure, crystal morphology, and chemical composition of the resulting materials were thoroughly analyzed employing methods like Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), plus Raman Spectroscopy. Through a series of photoelectric performance tests, it was discovered that the GeSe nanowires prepared at 560 °C exhibited superior properties. These nanowires not only possessed high crystalline quality but also featured uniform diameters, demonstrating excellent consistency. Under illumination at 780 nm, the GeSe nanowires prepared at this temperature showed higher dark current, photocurrent, and photoresponsivity compared to samples prepared at other temperatures. These results indicate that GeSe nanomaterials hold substantial potential in the field of photodetection. Particularly in the visible light spectrum, GeSe nanomaterials exhibit outstanding light absorption capabilities and photoresponse.

Suppressing the Intrinsic Photoelectric Response of Organic Semiconductors for Highly-Photostable Organic Transistors.

Suppressing the photoelectric response of organic semiconductors (OSs) is of great significance for improving the operational stability of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) in light environments, but it is quite challenging because of the great difficulty in precisely modulating exciton dynamics. In this work, photostable OFETs are demonstrated by designing the micro-structure of OSs and introducing an electrical double layer at the OS/polyelectrolyte dielectric interface, in which multiple exciton dynamic processes can be modulated. The generation and dissociation of excitons are depressed due to the small light-absorption area of the microstripe structure and the excellent crystallinity of OSs. At the same time, a highly efficient exciton quenching process is activated by the electrical double layer at the OS/polyelectrolyte dielectric interface. As a result, the OFETs show outstanding tolerance to the light irradiation of up to 306 mW·cm-2 , which far surpasses the solar irradiance value in the atmosphere (≈138 mW·cm-2 ) and achieves the highest photostability ever reported in the literature. The findings promise a general and practicable strategy for the realization of photostable OFETs and organic circuits.

Molecular Insertion: A Master Key to Unlock Smart Photoelectric Responses of Covalent Organic Frameworks.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) show potentials in prominent photoelectric responses by judicious structural design. However, from the selections of monomers and condensation reactions to the synthesis procedures, the acquisition of photoelectric COFs has to meet overmuch high conditions, limiting the breakthrough and modulation in photoelectric responses. Herein, the study reports a creative "lock-key model" based on molecular insertion strategy. A COF with suitable cavity size, TP-TBDA, is used as the host to load guests. Merely through the volatilization of mixed solution, TP-TBDA and guests can be spontaneously assembled via non-covalent interactions (NCIs) to produce molecular-inserted COFs (MI-COFs). The NCIs between TP-TBDA and guests acted as a bridge to facilitate charge transfer in MI-COFs, unlocking the photoelectric responses of TP-TBDA. By exploiting the controllability of NCIs, the MI-COFs can realize the smart modulation of photoelectric responses by simply changing the guest molecule, thus avoiding the arduous selection of monomers and condensation reactions required by conventional COFs. The construction of molecular-inserted COFs circumvents complicated procedures for achieving performance improvement and modulation, providing a promising direction to construct late-model photoelectric responsive materials.

Ethanol Oxidation via 12-Electron Pathway on Spiky Au@AuPd Nanoparticles Assisted by Near-Infrared Light.

In this work, ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) via 12-electron (C1-12e) pathway on spiky Au@AuPd nanoparticles (NPs) with ultrathin AuPd alloy shells is achieved in alkaline media with the assistance of the near-infrared (NIR) light. It is found that OH radicals can be produced from the OHads species adsorbed on the surfaces of Pd atoms led by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of spiky Au@AuPd NPs under the irradiation of NIR light. Moreover, OH radicals play the key role for the achievement of EOR proceeded by the desirable C1-12e pathway because OH radicals can directly break the C-C bonds of ethanol. Accordingly, the electrocatalytic performance of spiky Au@AuPd NPs toward EOR under NIR light is greatly improved. For instance, their mass activity can be up to 33.2 A mgpd -1 in the 0.5 m KOH solution containing 0.5 m ethanol, which is about 158 times higher than that of commercial Pd/C catalysts (0.21 A mgpd -1 ) and is better than those of the state-of-the-art Pd-based catalysts reported in literature thus far, to the best of our knowledge. Moreover, their highest mass activity can be further improved to 118.3 A mgpd -1 in the 1.5 m KOH solution containing 1.25 m ethanol.

Array density effect on the optical and photoelectric properties of silicon nanowire arrays via Ag-assisted chemical etching.

Ag-assisted chemical etching (AgACE) is a low-cost method to produce silicon nanowires (SiNWs) for photoelectric applications. Structure parameters of SiNWs have great impact on their optical and photoelectric properties, which are worth studying for fabricating high-performance devices. However, array density of SiNWs via AgACE, as an important structural parameter, has not been sufficiently investigated. Here, array density effect on the optical and photoelectric properties of SiNWs is experimentally investigated. SiNW arrays with different densities (silicon occupation ratio of 7%-34.5%) were prepared through controlling the reaction time of silicon wafers in the seed solution (tseed). The SiNW array with atseedof 90 s shows optimum light absorption over 98% in the wavelength range of 300-1000 nm, though all the samples have light absorption over 95% due to the light trapping effect of nanowire array structure. In addition, the SiNW array with atseedof 90 s exhibits the best photoelectric property. SiNW arrays with shortertseedand higher density suffer more surface recombination, harming the photoelectric property. In SiNW arrays with longertseedthan 90 s and lower density, some SiNWs topple down and break, which has an adverse effect on transport and collection of carriers. These results indicate that the array density of SiNWs via AgACE has obvious effect on their photoelectric property. SiNW arrays via AgACE with atseedof 90 s are ideal for photoelectric devices. This work is potential to guide SiNW fabrication for photoelectric applications.

Inhibitory artificial synapses based on photoelectric co-modulation of graphene/WSe2van der Waals heterojunctions.

Optical artificial synapses possess several advantages, including high bandwidth, strong interference immunity, and ultra-fast signal transmission, overcoming the limitations of electrically stimulated synapses. Among various functional materials, 2D materials exhibit exceptional optical and electrical properties. By utilizing van der Waals heterostructures formed by these materials through rational design, synaptic devices can mimic the information perception ability of biological systems. This lays the foundation for low-energy artificial vision systems and neuromorphic computing. This study introduces an inhibitory artificial synapse based on photoelectric co-modulation of graphene/WSe2van der Waals heterojunctions. By synergistically applying gate voltage and light pulses, we simulate memory and logic functions observed in the brain's visual cortex. We achieve the construction of inhibitory synapses, enabling properties such as postsynaptic current response, short-term and long-term plasticity, and paired-pulse facilitation. Additionally, we accomplish the inverse recovery of device conductivity through separate gate voltage stimulation. Through bidirectional modulation of the artificial synaptic conductance, we construct an artificial hardware neural network that achieves 92.5% accuracy in recognizing handwritten digital images from the MNIST dataset. The network also has good recognition accuracy for handwritten digital images with different standard deviation Gaussian noise applied and other datasets. Furthermore, we successfully mimic the neural behavior of aversive learning for alcohol withdrawal in alcoholic patients using the device properties. The promising capabilities of artificial synapses constructed through electrical and optical synergistic modulation make them suitable for wearable electronics and artificial vision systems.
