“…The structure, morphology and photocatalytic properties of BVO are greatly influenced by the preparation methods and conditions. In the past few decades, various methods for preparing BVO have been extensively investigated by researchers [17,18]. Epitaxial BVO thin films with different crystallographic orientations have been fabricated and invesitagated for photoelectrochemical water splitting [6].…”

Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) is the most promising visible light responsive photocatalytic material that can effectively transform solar energy into chemical fuel. Here, we used a stoichiometric target to systematically investigate the effects of substrate temperature, oxygen partial pressure and deposition time on the growth of monoclinic BiVO4 (010) epitaxial film prepared using pulsed laser deposition. The film was characterized systematically by x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV–visible absorption spectroscopy. The phase-pure epitaxial thin film of BiVO4 could be fabricated at 680 °C under the oxygen partial pressure of 43 mTorr after depositing for 1 h. The film contains lot of square and rectangular flaky islands. The optical band gap is 2.55 eV.

“…With non-equilibrium Green's function approach, the ballistic thermal conductances of δ 6 and β 12 borophene have been calculated at low temperature, which are found to be higher than that of graphene. [47][48][49] However, the thermal conductivity of δ 6 borophene when considering the lattice anharmonicity is much lower than that of graphene. [50] The structure of δ 6 borophene does not have mirror symmetry, resulting in a strong scattering for ZA phonons and thus a lower thermal conductivity.…”

Borophene allotropes have many unique physical properties due to their polymorphism and similarity between boron and carbon. In this work, based on the density functional theory and phonon Boltzmann transport equation, we investigate the lattice thermal conductivity κ of both β 12 and χ 3 borophene. Interestingly, these two allotropes with similar lattice structures have completely different thermal transport properties. β 12 borophene has almost isotropic κ around 90 W/(m⋅K) at 300 K, while κ of χ 3 borophene is much larger and highly anisotropic. The room temperature κ of χ 3 borophene along the armchair direction is 512 W/(m⋅K), which is comparable to that of hexagonal boron nitride but much higher than most of the two-dimensional materials. The physical mechanisms responsible for such distinct thermal transport behavior are discussed based on the spectral phonon analysis. More interestingly, we uncover a unique one-dimensional transport feature of transverse acoustic phonon in χ 3 borophene along the armchair direction, which results in a boost of phonon relaxation time and thus leads to the significant anisotropy and ultrahigh thermal conductivity in χ 3 borophene. Our study suggests that χ 3 borophene may have promising application in heat dissipation, and also provides novel insights for enhancing the thermal transport in two-dimensional systems.

“…Another emerging strategy for fabricated perfusable channels with complex 3D architecture is to leverage the optical transparency of devices fabricated with photolithography to photopattern hydrogels embedded within a device. For example, Song et al 3D printed photocrosslinkable hydrogels within a molded microfluidic housing to create spiral channels of varying widths to mimic stenosis [86]. This general strategy of combining 3D printing and soft lithography can be used to create systems with intricate architectures and the benefits of PDMS-based devices including biocompatibility and optical transparency [87].…”

Mechanical forces regulate a diverse set of biological processes at cellular, tissue, and organismal length scales. Investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the conversion of mechanical forces to biological responses is challenged by limitations of traditional animal models and in vitro cell culture, including poor control over applied force and highly artificial cell culture environments. Recent advances in fabrication methods and material processing have enabled the development of microfluidic platforms that provide precise control over the mechanical microenvironment of cultured cells. These devices and systems have proven to be powerful for uncovering and defining mechanisms of mechanotransduction. In this review, we first give an overview of the main mechanotransduction pathways that function at sites of cell adhesion, many of which have been investigated with microfluidics. We then discuss how distinct microfluidic fabrication methods can be harnessed to gain biological insight, with description of both monolithic and replica molding approaches. Finally, we present examples of how microfluidics can be used to apply both solid forces (substrate mechanics, strain, and compression) and fluid forces (luminal, interstitial) to cells. Throughout the review, we emphasize the advantages and disadvantages of different fabrication methods and applications of force in order to provide perspective to investigators looking to apply forces to cells in their own research.
