The conversion of light in sound plays a crucial role in spectroscopy, applied physics, and technology. In this paper, light sound conversion in 3D graphene sponge through a photothermoacoustic mechanism is reported. It is shown that the unique combination of mechanical, optical, and thermodynamic properties of graphene assembled in a 3D sponge structure allows an unprecedented high efficiency conversion independent of light wavelength from infrared to ultraviolet. As a first application of this effect, a photothermal based graphene sponge loudspeaker is demonstrated, providing a full digital operation for frequencies from acoustic to ultrasound. The present results suggest a new pathway for light generation and control of sound and ultrasound signals potentially usable in a variety of new technological applications from high fidelity loudspeaker and radiation detectors to medical devices.

Photon-phonon coupling holds strong potential for sound and temperature control with light, opening new horizons in detector technology, remote sound generation and signal broadcasting. Here, we report on a novel stereoscopic ultralight converter bas
ed on a three dimensional graphene structure 3G-sponge, which exhibits very high absorption, near-to-air density, low inertia, and negligible effective heat capacity. We studied the heat and sound generation under the excitation of electromagnetic waves. 3G-sponge shows exceptional photon to heat and sound transduction efficiency over an enormous frequency range from MHz to PHz. As an application, we present an audio receiver based on a 3G-sponge amplitude demodulation. Our results will lead to a wide range of applications from light-controlled sound sources to broadband high-frequency graphene electronics.
We propose a concentrated thermionic emission solar cell design, which demonstrates a high solar-to-electricity energy conversion efficiency larger than 10% under 600 sun, by harnessing the exceptional electrical, thermal and radiative properties of
the graphene as a collector electrode. By constructing an analytical model that explicitly takes into account the non-Richardson behavior of the thermionic emission current from graphene, space charge effect in vacuum gap, and the various irreversible energy losses within the subcomponents, we perform a detailed characterization on the conversion efficiency limit and electrical power output characteristics of the proposed system. We systematically model and compare the energy conversion efficiency of various configurations of graphene-graphene and graphene-diamond and diamond-diamond thermionic emitter, and show that utilizing diamond films as an emitter and graphene as a collector offers the highest maximum efficiency, thus revealing the important role of graphene in achieving high-performance thermionic emission solar cell. A maximum efficiency of 12.8% under 800 sun has been revealed, which is significantly higher than several existing solid-state solar cell designs, such as the solar-driven thermoelectric and thermophotovoltaic converters. Our work thus opens up new avenues to advance the efficiency limit of thermionic solar energy conversion and the development of next-generation novel-nanomaterial-based solar energy harvesting technology.
Uncooled Terahertz (THz) photodetectors (PDs) showing fast (ps) response and high sensitivity (noise equivalent power (NEP) < $nWHz^{-1/2}$) over a broad (0.5THz-10THz) frequency range are needed for applications in high-resolution spectroscopy (rela
tive accuracy ~ $10^{-11}$), metrology, quantum information, security, imaging, optical communications. However, present THz receivers cannot provide the required balance between sensitivity, speed, operation temperature and frequency range. Here, we demonstrate an uncooled THz PD combining the low (~2000 $k_{B}{mu}m^{-2}$) electronic specific heat of high mobility (> 50000 $cm^{2}V^{-1}s^{-1}$) hBN-encapsulated graphene with the asymmetric field-enhancement produced by a bow-tie antenna resonating at 3 THz. This produces a strong photo-thermoelectric conversion, which simultaneously leads to a combination of high sensitivity (NEP $leq$ 160 $pWHz^{-1/2}$), fast response time ($leq 3.3 ns$) and a four orders of magnitude dynamic range, making our devices the fastest, broadband, low noise, room temperature THz PD to date.
Perovskite-based optoelectronic devices have gained significant attention due to their remarkable performance and low processing cost, particularly for solar cells. However, for perovskite light-emitting diodes (LEDs), non-radiative charge carrier re
combination has limited electroluminescence (EL) efficiency. Here we demonstrate perovskite-polymer bulk heterostructure LEDs exhibiting record-high external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) exceeding 20%, and an EL half-life of 46 hours under continuous operation. This performance is achieved with an emissive layer comprising quasi-2D and 3D perovskites and an insulating polymer. Transient optical spectroscopy reveals that photogenerated excitations at the quasi-2D perovskite component migrate to lower-energy sites within 1 ps. The dominant component of the photoluminescence (PL) is primarily bimolecular and is characteristic of the 3D regions. From PL quantum efficiency and transient kinetics of the emissive layer with/without charge-transport contacts, we find non-radiative recombination pathways to be effectively eliminated. Light outcoupling from planar LEDs, as used in OLED displays, generally limits EQE to 20-30%, and we model our reported EL efficiency of over 20% in the forward direction to indicate the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) to be close to 100%. Together with the low drive voltages needed to achieve useful photon fluxes (2-3 V for 0.1-1 mA/cm2), these results establish that perovskite-based LEDs have significant potential for light-emission applications.
Polymer field-effect transistors with 2D graphene electrodes are devices that merge the best of two worlds: on the one hand, the low-cost and processability of organic materials and, on the other hand, the chemical robustness, extreme thinness and fl
exibility of graphene. Here, we demonstrate the tuning of the ambipolar nature of the semiconductor polymer N2200 from Polyera ActiveInk by incorporating graphene electrodes in a transistor geometry. Our devices show a balanced ambipolar behavior with high current ON-OFF ratio and charge carrier mobilities. These effects are caused by both the effective energy barrier modulation and by the weak electric field screening effect at the graphene-polymer interface. Our results provide a strategy to integrate 2D graphene electrodes in ambipolar transistors in order to improve and modulate their characteristics, paving the way for the design of novel organic electronic devices.
