Nitrogen doping is a promising approach to induce the basal-plane localized magnetic moments in -electron-only graphene sheets. Enhancing the magnetic couplings among the moments can contribute to the high Curie temperature and large ratio of ferromagnetism (FM), which is vital for real applications in spintronic devices; however, it is still challenging. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that graphitic nitrogen (N-Q) could enhance the ferromagnetic couplings of localized magnetic moments provided by the defective N in nitrogen-doped graphene (NG). Nearly pure FM at 2 K is obtained in (N-Q/N = 16.04 at. %) with a up to 397.5 K, while the room-temperature saturated magnetization is high as emu/g. The rich electrons contributed by the high ratio of the N-Q complex dominantly devote itinerant magnetism and enhance the interactions among the pyrrolic N (N-5) and/or pyridinic N complexes. Our density functional theory simulation results provide the configurations of (trimerized N-5)-triazinic N-Q along certain directions with enhanced sublattice-independent FM, which are proposed to be the magnetic structures in . Our investigation reveals that introducing the N-Q can serve as an ideal route for the long-range spin correlations and thus full ferromagnetic couplings in graphene.
Flexible pressure sensors play an important role in flexible robotics, human-machine interaction (HMI), and human physiological information. However, most of the reported flexible pressure sensors suffer from a highly nonlinear response and a significant decrease in sensitivity at high pressures. Herein, we propose a flexible novel iontronic pressure sensor based on monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Based on the unique structure and the excellent mechanical properties as well as the large intercalation capacitance of MoS2, the prepared sensor holds an ultra-high sensitivity (Smax = 89.75 kPa−1) and a wide sensing range (722.2 kPa). Further, the response time and relaxation time of the flexible sensor are only 3 ms, respectively, indicating that the device can respond to external pressure rapidly. In addition, it shows long-term cycling stability (over 5000 cycles with almost no degradation) at a high pressure of 138.9 kPa. Finally, it is demonstrated that the sensor can be used in physiological information monitoring and flexible robotics. It is anticipated that our prepared sensor provide a reliable approach to advance the theory and practicality of the flexible sensor electronics.
