Constructing an efficient electron coupling path is essential for enhancing photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Here, guided by theoretical design and experimental validation, a Graphdiyne/CoBOx (GDY/CB) ohmic junction catalyst was developed, enabling highly efficient and directional transfer of photogenerated carriers. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that interfacial bonding between GDY and CoBOx induces strong electronic coupling, suppresses electron backflow, and promotes charge delocalization. Microstructural analyses (SEM/TEM) confirm that the 2D layered GDY framework intimately contacts CoBOx nanosheets, forming a “high-speed channel” for electron migration. In situ XPS under illumination directly captures the photoinduced electron transfer from CoBOx to GDY, evidencing the establishment of a unidirectional transfer pathway. Photoelectrochemical tests, together with the above characterizations, indicate that interfacial coupling markedly enhances hydrogen evolution by reducing transport resistance and optimizing surface kinetics. The optimized GDY/CB-30% exhibits a hydrogen evolution rate of 9.91 mmol·g−1·h−1, 7.56 times higher than pristine GDY and superior to most non-noble-metal photocatalysts. This work highlights carbon-based ohmic junctions as a strategy to overcome bandgap limitations through engineered electron transport.

The distinctive surface characteristics of two-dimensional(2D) materials present a significant challenge when developing heterostructures for electronic or optoelectronic devices. In this study, we present a method for fabricating top-gate graphene field-effect transistors (FETs) by incorporating a metal interlayer between the dielectric and graphene. The deposition of an ultrathin Ti layer facilitates the formation of a uniform HfO₂ layer on the graphene surface via atomic layer deposition (ALD). During the ALD process, the Ti layer oxidizes to TiO₂, which has a negligible impact on the current flow along the graphene channel. The mobility of graphene in the FET was enhanced in relation to the SiO₂-based back-gate FET by modifying the thin HfO₂ top-gate dielectric deposited on the Ti interlayer. Furthermore, shifts in the Dirac point and subthreshold swing were markedly reduced owing to the reduction in charge scattering caused by the presence of trap sites at the interface between graphene and SiO₂. This route to modulating the interface between 2D material-based heterostructures will provide an opportunity to improve the performance and stability of 2D electronics and optoelectronics.

As the integration of devices in electronics manufacturing increases, there is a growing demand for thermal interface materials (TIMs) with high through-plane thermal conductivity. Vertically aligned carbon fiber (CF) thermally conductive composites have received considerable attention from researchers. However, the presence of significant interfacial thermal resistance at the interface between CFs and polymer presented a significant challenge to achieving the desired thermal conductivity, even in highly vertically aligned structures. Here, in addition to developing a polymer-based thermally conductive composite based on highly oriented CFs, we employed the Diels–Alder reaction to enhance the interfacial bonding between the CFs and the polymer matrix. Notably, we proposed the thermal conductivity enhancing mechanism of the highly oriented CFs filled silicone rubber (SR) composite originated from the strengthened interfacial bonding. The results indicated that the Diels–Alder reaction facilitated an increase in the thermal conductivity of the composite from 17.69 Wm− 1 K− 1 to 21.50 Wm− 1 K− 1 with a CF loading of 71.4 wt%. Additionally, a novel nano-indentation test was employed to analyse the interfacial strengthening of composites. Our research have significant implications for the advancement of thermal management in the field of electronics and energy, particularly with regard to the development of high-performance thermally conductive composites.

In this paper, poly(glycolic acid–co-DL–lactic acid) (PGDLLA)/poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) incompatible nanocomposites were combined with multiscale modeling (MSM) in a ratio of 80/20. Since the behavior and mechanical properties of blends depend significantly on the interphase region, the compatibilizer poly(l,l-lactic acid–co-ɛ-caprolactone) (P(lLA-co-ɛ-CL)) was used to improve compatibility and graphene oxide (GO) was used to increase the interphase strength of PGDLLA matrix/PCL. This work was done by mixing solvent to achieve the optimum disperse of GO in the matrix. The investigation of interfacial phenomenon by the theoretical interfacial models is important. Under the assumption of constant modulus and elastic deformation in the zero interface region, the predictions in this region are more unreliable when the calculations of experimental mechanical properties are analyzed in detail. In this study, PGDLLA/P(lLA-co-ɛ-CL)/PCL compounds were compared with the MSM approach to predict the plastic deformation in the stress–strain behavior. In contrast to the hypothesis that a simple look at the interphase area in nanocomposites, a finite element code is proposed to evaluate the efficiency of the interphase area. Both experimental results and FEM analysis showed that Young’s modulus increases by incorporating GO into GO/PGDLLA/P(lLA-co-ɛ-CL)/PCL nanocomposites; the amount of increase for incorporating 1 phr GO is about 61%.

The surface treatment processes of carbon fibers is very important, because of their significant impact on fiber handling, filament protection, and interfacial properties. In this study, the effects of two different sizing agents with different molecular weights, with or without a nonionic surfactant, on the performance of a melt-spun polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber and carbon fiber/epoxy interfacial adhesion are investigated. The focusing property and spread-ability of a low-molecularweight sizing agent with a surfactant show outstanding performances because of the high penetration between the fibers and high interfacial bonding with the fibers. In addition, wettability of the matrix (epoxy resin) of the low-molecular-weight sizing agent are superior to those of the high-molecular-weight sizing agent. Furthermore, the nonionic surfactant used as an assistant improves the sizing amount and wettability by forming micelles with the epoxy. The interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of the low-molecular-weight sizing agent with a surfactant is also superior to that of other sizing agents. The IFSS is closely related to the sizing amount of the coating on the carbon fiber surface and matrix wettability.
