Summary: This study demonstrates the development of multifunctional metasurfaces through femtosecond laser ablation of titanium, resulting in macropore/LIPSS micro/nanostructures. These structures exhibit superior performance in ultrabroadband UV-vis-NIR-MIR absorbance, photothermal conversion, and thermal-emission induced reflectance oscillation.

Summary: In this study, a transition from normal to anomalous morphology in periodic surface structures was demonstrated by femtosecond laser irradiation on 50-nm thick Cr/Si films in an air pressure-tunable chamber. The structure evolution from anomalously oriented subwavelength to normally oriented deep-subwavelength LIPSSs was triggered by a reduction in surface oxide induced by preceding laser pulses as the air pressure decreased. This intriguing structure transition was explained by the competitive excitation between the transverse-electric scattered surface wave and transverse-magnetic hybrid plasmon wave, which was determined by the thickness of the preformed oxide layer.

Summary: This study demonstrates the development of tunable iridescent antireflective surfaces through femtosecond laser ablation of tungsten and molybdenum, synthesizing functional metal-oxide nanomaterials, in situ deposition and hierarchical nanostructuring of LIPSSs. Adjusting the scanning interval allows modulation of particle deposition rates on the surface, leading to the formation of better ultrabroadband antireflective surfaces with less pronounced iridescence. Loose deposition of MoOx and WOx particles outperforms tight deposition for ultrabroadband antireflective applications, enhancing antireflectance performances significantly.

Summary: This study demonstrates the generation of supra-wavelength periodic surface structures (SWPSS) on Sn and triangular and rhombic laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on W, Mo, Ta, and Nb using a single linearly polarized femtosecond laser. The SWPSS patches possess independent orientations, breaking the traditional rules. The maximal period reported for SWPSS is 25 μm, while the formation of LIPSS depends on material composition.

Summary: A new self-organized pattern formation process was discovered when laser irradiating polymer films in water, resulting in a randomly oriented pattern with a period of 475 nm. The pattern morphology, orientation, period, and amplitude are inconsistent with other known patterns induced by laser. The amplitude of these submicron structures is strengthened with an increase in pulse number and laser fluence. The size, amplitude, and morphology of the pattern have potential applications in fields such as wetting, friction, optics, and bioactivity.

Summary: This study fabricates femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) with low and high spatial frequencies on a stainless-steel surface simultaneously by varying the wavelength. The results show that the periodicities of both low and high spatial frequency LIPSS can be controlled by the wavelength, and the formation of high spatial frequency LIPSS depends on the primary low spatial frequency LIPSS. These experimental insights are important for understanding and describing the formation of LIPSS.

Summary: This study explores the covalent functionalization of MXenes for bioimaging applications. By using a chelating agent and Gd3+ ions, the commonly diamagnetic MXenes were transformed into paramagnetic materials, enabling their use in magnetic resonance imaging. Covalent functionalization not only enhanced the stability and cytocompatibility of MXenes but also prevented the leakage of Gd3+ ions. This work expands the bioapplication of MXenes by introducing an MRI contrast and developing covalent functionalization strategies.

Summary: Titanium oxide is commonly used as an effective catalyst for photo-electrochemical water splitting, but its wide bandgap limits the utilization of visible and near-infrared light. The photosensitization of titanium oxide with plasmonic nanostructures has been proposed as a solution. In this work, a plasmon-based titanium oxide photosensitization method using a gold grating is presented. The gold grating supports the excitation and propagation of surface plasmon polariton wave, resulting in the activation of titanium oxide. Experimental results demonstrate that this structure enables efficient photo-electrochemical water splitting and hydrogen production under near-infrared light irradiation.

Summary: In this study, a novel, simple, and scalable method for the synthesis of tantalum disulfide (TaS2) is reported, using CS2 as a sulfurizing agent and Ta2O5 as a metal precursor. The structure of the created TaS2 flakes was analyzed, and a tuning between 1T (metallic) and 3R (semiconductor) phases was achieved by varying the reaction conditions. The electrocatalytic activity of the synthesized materials was significantly enhanced after electrochemical self-activation, reaching a level comparable to that of Pt. This work provides a scalable and simple synthesis method for transition-metal sulfides that could replace platinum catalysts in water splitting technology.

Summary: Hybridization of catalytic and plasmon active materials is proposed to efficiently improve photo-electrochemical (PEC) water splitting. The plasmon coupling between surface plasmon polariton (SPP) and localized surface plasmon (LSP) is utilized to achieve gigantic light concentration and trigger the catalytic activity of titanium diboride (TiB2) flakes. The catalytic activity enhancement of TiB2 flakes through coupled plasmon triggering is investigated in various conditions, showing the excitation of electron-hole pairs and their separation/acceleration in strong plasmons field. This work presents a novel approach for realizing a symmetric and less pH-sensitive catalyst for PEC water splitting.

Summary: This study explores the possibility of firmly anchoring silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) into polyetherether ketone (PEEK) with a tailored surface morphology that exhibits laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS). The antibacterial test proved that AgNPs-decorated LIPSS represents a more effective bactericidal protection than their planar counterparts, even if they contain a lower concentration of immobilized particles. Nanostructured PEEK with embedded AgNPs may open up new possibilities in the production of templates for replication processes in the construction of functional bactericidal biopolymers or may be directly used in tissue engineering applications.
