Summary: This article reports the preparation of Mn-Fe oxide-based hybrids using Mn-Fe PBA as a template and an organic carbon source by calcination. The study focuses on the interaction between the microstructure and electrochemical performance of the products obtained at different calcination temperatures. The results show that the porous Fe-Fe0.33Mn0.67O/C nanocubes exhibit the best rate capability and cycle life, attributed to the shorter Li+ diffusion path provided by the porous structure and the buffering effect of N-doped C on volume change and aggregation of Fe0.33Mn0.67O nanoparticles.

Summary: This paper presents a reactance-loaded polarization conversion metasurface (PCMS) for a metasurface antenna (MTA) with low radar cross section (RCS) and broadband radiation. By integrating a metallic surface with open and closed slits into the PCMS, reactance features are introduced to modulate the near-field interactions and expand the polarization conversion bandwidth. The reactance-loaded metallic surface, combined with a grounded substrate, forms a broadband metasurface radiator.

Summary: This article presents a quincunx metasurface structure that is used to design compact broadband metasurface antennas. The structure consists of five interconnected squares arranged in a quincunx pattern. The spacing between adjacent units is increased, increasing the edge capacitance. The surface current is also adjusted to flow along the diagonal of the quincunx patches, resulting in a large strip inductance. This allows the resonance frequency to be shifted to lower frequencies, while maintaining a compact radiating aperture.

Summary: In this study, pure phase BS-PT nanofibers were successfully synthesized by optimizing the concentration of the electrospinning additive and the sintering temperature. The BS-PT nanofiber piezoelectric sensor showed a stable sensitivity above 4 V/N in the temperature range of 60-200 degrees C and at frequencies of 10-40 Hz. Furthermore, the sensor exhibited a nearly linear output voltage with increasing excitation pressure in the range of 0.07 N to 0.55 N at temperatures of 160-260 degrees C, and the sensitivity at 220 degrees C was still higher than 5.4 V/N. These findings suggest that the BS-PT nanofiber piezoelectric sensor holds great promise for high-temperature pressure and vibration measurements.
