2D materials for intelligent devices

Neuromorphic intelligent hardware technologies have undergone rapid advancement during the past decade,with the goal of building intelligent devices and systems capable of overcoming challenges associated with conventional hardware.Realization of neuromorphic intelligent hardware depends on major advances in materials science,condensed matter physics,device physics and engineering.As a revolutionary discovery,two-dimensional(2D)materials with atomically-thin thickness and exceptionally high tunability introduce a new physical paradigm and show great promise in the development of intelligent devices.Here,we give prominence to three categories of tunable properties(i.e.,charge carrier,band structure,lattice structure)that are inherent for 2D materials and review their superiorities in constructing intelligent devices particularly in electronics and optoelectronics.Furthermore,we provide insight into how the unique physical mechanisms emerging in 2D materials offer a fertile ground for the design of diverse intelligence devices.

Fortifying Smart Grids: A Holistic Assessment Strategy against Cyber Attacks and Physical Threats for Intelligent Electronic Devices

Intelligent electronic devices(IEDs)are interconnected via communication networks and play pivotal roles in transmitting grid-related operational data and executing control instructions.In the context of the heightened security challenges within smart grids,IEDs pose significant risks due to inherent hardware and software vulner-abilities,as well as the openness and vulnerability of communication protocols.Smart grid security,distinct from traditional internet security,mainly relies on monitoring network security events at the platform layer,lacking an effective assessment mechanism for IEDs.Hence,we incorporate considerations for both cyber-attacks and physical faults,presenting security assessment indicators and methods specifically tailored for IEDs.Initially,we outline the security monitoring technology for IEDs,considering the necessary data sources for their security assessment.Subsequently,we classify IEDs and establish a comprehensive security monitoring index system,incorporating factors such as running states,network traffic,and abnormal behaviors.This index system contains 18 indicators in 3 categories.Additionally,we elucidate quantitative methods for various indicators and propose a hybrid security assessment method known as GRCW-hybrid,combining grey relational analysis(GRA),analytic hierarchy process(AHP),and entropy weight method(EWM).According to the proposed assessment method,the security risk level of IEDs can be graded into 6 levels,namely 0,1,2,3,4,and 5.The higher the level,the greater the security risk.Finally,we assess and simulate 15 scenarios in 3 categories,which are based on monitoring indicators and real-world situations encountered by IEDs.The results show that calculated security risk level based on the proposed assessment method are consistent with actual simulation.Thus,the reasonableness and effectiveness of the proposed index system and assessment method are validated.

Flexible and breathable 3D porous SSE/MXene foam towards impact/electromagnetic interference/bacteria multiple protection performance for intelligent wearable devices

As intelligent wearable devices,they will inevitably be subjected to various damages and disturbances from the external environment during daily use.Therefore,it is urgent to develop safeguarding materials with multiple protective properties.Herein,this work developed a flexible and breathable three-dimensional(3D)porous shear stiffening elastomer(SSE)/MXene(M-SSE)foam with impact/electromagnetic interference(EMI)/bacteria multiple protection performance for intelligent wearable devices.The continuous conductive MXene network in the 3D SSE porous structure made M-SSE foam exhibit excellent electromagnetic interference shielding property with a high shielding effectiveness of 34 dB.Attributed to the shear stiffening effect of porous SSE matrix,M-SSE foam possessed unique anti-impact and protection properties.The energy dissipation rate reached up to more than 85%,illustrating M-SSE foam could effectively attenuate the external impact force and absorb the impact energy.Inherited from the excellent photothermal performance of MXene,M-SSE foam achieved a considerable saturated temperature of 98℃ under 0.57 W/cm^(2) laser power.Therefore,M-SSE foam showed extraordinary antimicrobial property for Staphylococcus aureus according to the principle of photothermal sterilization.Finally,for the development of intelligent wearable devices,conductive MSSE foam could be used as an intelligent sensor to monitor various human movements owing to the highly sensitive property.This work greatly expanded the application prospect of multifunctional protective materials in various complex environments and promoted the development of multifunctional smart wearable devices in protection field.

Adaptive Fault Detection Based on Neural Networks and Multiple Sampling Points for Distribution Networks and Microgrids

Smart networks such as active distribution network(ADN)and microgrid(MG)play an important role in power system operation.The design and implementation of appropriate protection systems for MG and ADN must be addressed,which imposes new technical challenges.This paper presents the implementation and validation aspects of an adaptive fault detection strategy based on neural networks(NNs)and multiple sampling points for ADN and MG.The solution is implemented on an edge device.NNs are used to derive a data-driven model that uses only local measurements to detect fault states of the network without the need for communication infrastructure.Multiple sampling points are used to derive a data-driven model,which allows the generalization considering the implementation in physical systems.The adaptive fault detector model is implemented on a Jetson Nano system,which is a single-board computer(SBC)with a small graphic processing unit(GPU)intended to run machine learning loads at the edge.The proposed method is tested in a physical,real-life,low-voltage network located at Universidad del Norte,Colombia.This testing network is based on the IEEE 13-node test feeder scaled down to 220 V.The validation in a simulation environment shows the accuracy and dependability above 99.6%,while the real-time tests show the accuracy and dependability of 95.5%and 100%,respectively.Without hard-to-derive parameters,the easy-to-implement embedded model highlights the potential for real-life applications.
