Smart wearable systems for health monitoring are highly desired in personal wisdom medicine and telemedicine. These systems make the detecting, monitoring, and recording of biosignals portable, long-term, and comfortable. The development and optimization of wearable health-monitoring systems have focused on advanced materials and system integration, and the number of high-performance wearable systems has been gradually increasing in recent years. However, there are still many challenges in these fields, such as balancing the trade-off between flexibility/stretchability, sensing performance, and the robustness of systems. For this reason, more evolution is required to promote the development of wearable health-monitoring systems. In this regard, this review summarizes some representative achievements and recent progress of wearable systems for health monitoring. Meanwhile, a strategy overview is presented about selecting materials, integrating systems, and monitoring biosignals. The next generation of wearable systems for accurate, portable, continuous, and long-term health monitoring will offer more opportunities for disease diagnosis and treatment.
Photo-induced radical reductive dehalogenation of inactivated aryl/alkyl bromides and chlorides with a palladium complex is described. Reductive cyclization, dehalogenative deuteration, and radical addition process can be achieved smoothly.
Negative-ion fractions depending on incident energies and angles have been measured for keV-energy fluorine negative ions scattering on a graphite surface at a scattering angle of 38°. For specular scattering, the fraction increases monotonously with increasing incident energy. A specific feature is the nonmonotonic angular dependence of the fraction with the variation of incident angles. It strongly indicates the interaction-time-dependent electron transfer process. The incident-velocity effect has been taken into account to analyze the experimental results, in which an exponential scaling is found.
The transmission of 18-keV ions through nanocapillaries with 50 nm in diameter and in length is studied in this work. By measuring angular distribution of transmitted particles when capillaries were tilted with respect to incident ion beam, two peaks were observed. It is distinguished that one of them is composed by direct transmitted ions and another one is composed by scattered ions. A phenomenon referred to as guiding effect, as found for highly charged ions and low-energy electrons, was observed. When negative ions (18-keV ) are transmitted through nanocapillaries, most of them were ionized to neutral atoms and even positive ions. The intensity of transmitted particles (, , and ) decreased when the tilt angle increased. In transmitted particles, the fraction of declined but that of and ions grew when the tilt angle grew. Both elastic collision and electrostatic scattering were found in scattered ions.
The jellium model of free electron gas and its extended version have been widely used to understand the neutralization of alkali-metal ions on metal surfaces. We report an unexpected deviation from its prediction that we observed in the neutralization of ions scattering from an Al(111) surface. We find that the neutralization probability decreases monotonically with increasing ion velocity for the specular scattering condition, which is consistent with the well-known parallel velocity effect. However, the neutralization probability exhibits an unexpected bell shape with the variation of outgoing angle for a given incident energy. Calculations based on the jellium model using the rate equation and including the dynamic parallel velocity effect are presented. Their results agree with the velocity dependence of the neutral fraction, but completely fail in reproducing the angle dependence. This anomalous angle dependence could be due to the appearance of inelastic processes, corresponding to inner electron promotion in hard encounters with Al atoms for large incidence angles, when the interatomic distances become small. This can lead to the formation of autoionizing Na states that result in the formation of extra ions, not accounted for in the jellium model.
In this work, the efficient electron loss process was observed for the transmission of 10- to 18-keV Cu$-${} and Cl$-${} ions through Al2O3 nanocapillaries. The fractions of the scattered particles were simultaneously measured using a position-sensitive microchannel plate detector. The neutrals were guided through the capillary via multiple grazing scattering. In particular, the scattered Cl$-${} ions were observed in the transmission, whereas no Cu$-${} ion was formed. In contrast to highly charged ions, these results support strongly the fact that the scattering events dominate the transport of negative ions through the nanocapillaries and that there is no direct evidence for the formation of negative charge patches inside the capillaries which are able to repulse and guide negative ions efficiently.
