While numerous near-infrared (NIR) materials have emerged, most of them are strongly colored or black due to the absorption band or tails in the visible region. Here, a highly transparent and soluble NIR-absorbing ionic salt, isobutyl-substituted diimmonium borate (IDI), is synthesized and fabricated, through a solution process, as a thin film that shows a transmittance of over 93% in the whole visible region. A transparent photothermal (PT) film heater is fabricated with the IDI-doped polymer s

Abstract Nanoarchitectonics, a concept encompassing nanoscale microstructures and atomic arrangements in materials, enables the precise modification of materials for desired applications by controlling their physical and chemical properties, as well as surface charge or energy. Particularly in metal materials, where surface reactions play a critical role, nanoarchitecture becomes the most influential factor affecting activity, selectivity, and stability. Focusing on platinum‐group metals (PGMs)

A black-to-transparent electrochromic (EC) capacitive window was explored for the first time through the combination of a dual EC polymer and capacitive polymer layer, to provide a high transparency (>75%) and large color contrast (65%).

Bi₂Se₃ is a semiconductive material possessing a bandgap of 0.3 eV, and its unique band structure has paved the way for diverse applications. Herein, we demonstrate a robust platform for synthesizing mesoporous Bi₂Se₃ films with uniform pore sizes via electrodeposition. Block copolymer micelles act as soft templates in the electrolyte to create a 3D porous nanoarchitecture. By controlling the length of the block copolymer, the pore size is adjusted to

BACKGROUND: Today, environmentally friendly farming has become an important feature of agricultural policy.It promotes or sustains farming systems which protect and enhance the environment.This study was conducted to compare benthic invertebrate communities in an organic and a conventional paddy field in South Korea.METHODS AND RESULTS: Benthic invertebrates were collected at 11 regions of a rice paddy from June to August, 2009, 2010 and 2011.These comparisons undertaken using a community assess

Abstract Incorporating mesoporous structures into various materials can provide abundant active sites and facilitate smooth diffusion, and their effectiveness has been demonstrated across a range of material types. However, despite the development of numerous mesoporous materials, first-generation mesoporous materials (e.g., silica-based compositions) have limited applications due to their poor electrical conductivity and limited compositional diversity, necessitating additional processing for w

논을 포함한 주변의 일시적 또는 연속적인 정수지를 가지는 논생태계는 다양한 수서생물의 서식처를 제공함으로서 국가 생물다양성 확보를 위한 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 하지만, 최근 수로정비, 경지정리 등에 의해서 서식환경에 변화가 일어나고 있으며, 앞으로도 계속적으로 일어날 것이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 논생태계 내에 출현하는 수서곤충 중에서 상위 포식자 역할을 하고 있는 물땡땡이류의 전국 분포 조사를 하였다. 그 결과 논 내에서 총 15종의 물땡땡이류가 확인되었다. 그중 전국적으로 애넓적물땡땡이(98.6%)와 점물땡땡이(87.7%)가 높은 출현빈도를 나타냈다. 대부분의 물땡땡이류는 경지정리가 이루어진 들에 위치한 논(33.7%)보다는 곡간에 위치한 논(5.0%)에서 출현빈도가 높았다. 한일넓적물땡땡이(1.4%), 등볼록물땡땡이(2.9%) 및 새가슴물땡땡이(4.3%) 3종은 곡간과 들 모든 지역에서 낮은 출현빈도를 보였다. 잔물땡땡이, 애물땡땡이, 알물땡땡이, Berosus elong

물방개과의 전국분포를 파악하고자 2005년부터 2007년까지 3년간 전국 138개 시 군에 있는 곡간지 논과 평야지 논 총 290지점에서 조사하였다. 우리나라 전국의 논에서 확인된 물방개과는 총 15속 26종이었다. 전국 논에서 채집된 물방개과의 26종 중 곡간지 논에서는 24종이 확인되었고, 평야지 논에서는 19종이 확인되었다. 논에 서식하는 물방개과 중에서 전국적으로 그 출현빈도가 매우 낮은 희귀종으로는 동쪽깨알물방개, Laccophilus lewisioides, 노랑무늬물방개, 외줄물방개, 점톨물방개, 맵시등줄물방개, 검정머리땅콩물방개, 큰알락물방개, 알락물방개, 잿빛물방개 및 물방개로 총 11종으로 확인되었다. 채집된 물방개류 종별 평균 크기는 2.0 mm ~ 35.0 mm로 나타났다. 들녘 논에 비교적 넓게 분포하는 종은 꼬마물방개, 애기물방개 2종 이었고, 큰땅콩물방개, 땅콩물방개, 모래무지물방개 등은 들녘 논에서 거의 발견되지 않는 희귀종이었다. 희귀종을 제외한 대부분의
