DataSheet_1_A study on the pathways and their interannual variability of the Fukushima-derived tracers in the northwestern Pacific.pdf
This study investigates that the subsurface pathways, travel time, and its interannual variability of Fukushima-derived tracers subducted with the North Pacific subtropical mode water (NPSTMW) using 22-year-long (1994–2015) eddy-resolving (1/12°) and eddy-permitting (1/4°) ocean reanalysis. The NPSTMW is a thick subsurface layer with low potential vorticity and relatively uniform potential density, making it a key indicator of the North Pacific oceanic conditions. A series of Lagrangian particle tracking simulations quantitatively revealed that the Fukushima-derived particles moved along the Kuroshio Extension (KE) and spread over the majority of the subtropical region in the northwestern Pacific within 4–5 years. Approximately 36% of the particles flowed eastward in the Kuroshio-Oyashio transition zone (KO) and thereafter re-emerged to the sea surface at the remote area (near dateline), and 30% of particles moved along the KE. The remaining 34% subducted into NPSTMW layer and then widely spread out to the subtropical region along the re-circulation gyre (RG), exhibiting a subsurface pathway during entire particle tracking. When the particles were released, their pathway was immediately determined, whether it flowed along the KO (>36°N), KE (30°–36°N), or RG (<30°N). Furthermore, the interannual variability of the pathways was significantly associated with the dynamic states of KE, such as the path length of the Kuroshio jet. This result implies that understanding the subsurface dynamics and its variability of the KE and NPSTMW is crucial for predicting the dispersion of radioactive materials in the subsurface layer and its potential impact.</p

Interface-Confined High Crystalline Growth of Semiconducting Polymers at Graphene Fibers for High-Performance Wearable Supercapacitors
We report graphene@polymer
core–shell fibers (G@PFs) composed
of N and Cu codoped porous graphene fiber cores uniformly coated with
semiconducting polymer shell layers with superb electrochemical characteristics.
Aqueous/organic interface-confined polymerization method produced
robust highly crystalline uniform semiconducting polymer shells with
high electrical conductivity and redox activity. When the resultant
core–shell fibers are utilized for fiber supercapacitor application,
high areal/volume capacitance and energy densities are attained along
with long-term cycle stability. Desirable combination of mechanical
flexibility, electrochemical properties, and facile process scalability
makes our G@PFs particularly promising for portable and wearable electronics
Omnidirectional Deformable Energy Textile for Human Joint Movement Compatible Energy Storage
Omnidirectional
deformability is an unavoidable basic requirement for wearable devices
to accommodate human daily motion particularly at human joints. We
demonstrate omnidirectionally bendable and stretchable textile-based
electrochemical capacitor that retains high power performance under
complex mechanical deformation. Judicious synergistic hybrid structure
of woven elastic polymer yarns with carbon nanotubes and conductive
polymers offers reliable electrical and electrochemical activity even
under repeated cycles of severe complex deformation modes. The textile-based
electrochemical capacitors exhibit omnidirectional stretchability
with 93% of capacitance retention under repeated 50% omnidirectional
stretching condition while demonstrating excellent specific capacitance
(412 mF cm<sup>–2</sup>) and cycle stability (>2000 stretch).
The wearable power source stably powers red LED under omnidirectional
stretching that accompanies human elbow joint motion
