Calcium Titanate Orthorhombic Perovskite-Nickel Oxide Solar-Blind UVC Photodetectors with Unprecedented Long-Term Stability Exceeding 500 Days and Their Applications to Real-Time Flame Detection
In recent years, the rapid increase
in fire frequency has led to
demands for efficient fire monitoring systems. To realize sensitive
and large-area fire monitoring, flame sensing based on an ultraviolet
C (UVC) photodetector can be considered as a promising approach. However,
the challenges such as the high-cost process, limited selection of
photoactive materials with an appropriate band gap, inefficient power
consumption, stability issues, and environmental noise interference
restrict the development of UVC photodetectors (PDs) for practical
flame safeguard applications. Here, we demonstrate flame detection
with a UVC PD based on an ultrawide band gap calcium titanate (CTO)
and nickel oxide (NiO) heterostructure. The proposed PD achieves a
high solar-blinded rejection ratio (at UVC light/UVA light) of 2.9
× 104, on/off switching current ratio of 120 A/A under
UVC light and dark state, robust and stable operation longer than
1 year (502 days), and specific detectivity as high as 4.44 ×
1011 Jones under zero-voltage bias operation. During the
flame combustion, the CTO/NiO UVC PD exhibits a systematic real-time
output voltage change with flame intensity variation, which opens
up new possibilities for rapid and accurate fire detection

Role of Graphene in Reducing Fatigue Damage in Cu/Gr Nanolayered Composite
Nanoscale
metal/graphene nanolayered composite is known to have ultrahigh
strength as the graphene effectively blocks dislocations from penetrating
through the metal/graphene interface. The same graphene interface,
which has a strong sp2 bonding, can simultaneously serve as an effective
interface for deflecting the fatigue cracks that are generated under
cyclic bendings. In this study, Cu/Gr composite with repeat layer
spacing of 100 nm was tested for bending fatigue at 1.6% and 3.1%
strain up to 1,000,000 cycles that showed for the first time a 5–6
times enhancement in fatigue resistance compared to the conventional
Cu thin film. Fatigue cracks that are generated within the Cu layer
were stopped by the graphene interface, which are evidenced by cross-sectional
scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy
images. Molecular dynamics simulations for uniaxial tension of Cu/Gr
showed limited accumulation of dislocations at the film/substrate
interface, which makes the fatigue crack formation and propagation
through thickness of the film difficult in this materials system
