With the rapid advancement of power semiconductor packaging technologies, Smart P2 Packagingaging has emerged as a pivotal innovation for enhancing system performance and miniaturization. This study systematically investigates the thermal conduction characteristics and stress distributions of copper-filled vias (CFVs) in Smart P2Pack frontal interconnects through coupled thermal-mechanical finite element analysis. Results indicate that increasing CFV diameter enhances vertical heat conduction but causes localized heat accumulation and stress concentration due to the low thermal conductivity of encapsulation materials, elevating interfacial failure risks. Conversely, expanding CFV pitch promotes dispersed heat flow and reduces chip temperature but concurrently lowers local structural stiffness and exacerbates stress concentration. Optimal CFV design thus requires balancing thermal diffusion performance and mechanical constraints to ensure structural reliability and thermal stability.

Removal of bromate (BrO₃⁻) has gained increasing attention in drinking water treatment process. Photocatalysis technology is an effective strategy for bromate removal. During the photocatalytic reduction of bromate process, the photo-generated electrons are reductive species toward bromate reduction and photo-generated holes responsible for water oxidation. In this study, the monoclinic bismuth vanadate (BiVO₄) single crystal was developed as a visible photocatalyst for the effective removal of bromate. The as-synthesized BiVO₄ photocatalyst with optimized {010} and {110} facets ratio could achieve almost 100% removal efficiency of BrO₃⁻ driven by visible light with a first-order kinetic constant of 0.0368 min⁻¹. As demonstrated by the electron scavenger experiment and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the exposed facets of BiVO₄ should account for the high photocatalytic reduction efficiency. Under visible light illumination, the photo-generated electron and holes were spatially transferred to {010} facets and {110} facets, respectively. The BiVO₄ single crystal photocatalyst may serve as an attractive photocatalyst by virtue of its response to the visible light, spatially charge transfer and separation as well as high photocatalytic activity, which will make the removal of BrO₃⁻ in water much easier, more economical and more sustainable.

Electrochemical oxidation of water to produce highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (OH) is the dominant factor that accounts for the organic compounds removal efficiency in water treatment. As an emerging carbon-based material, the investigation of electrocatalytic of water to produce OH on Graphdiyne (GDY) anode is firstly evaluated by using first-principles calculations. The theoretical calculation results demonstrated that the GDY anode owns a large oxygen evolution reaction (OER) overpotential (ηOER = 1.95 V) and a weak sorptive ability towards oxygen evolution intermediates (HO*, not OH). The high Gibbs energy change of HO* (3.18 eV) on GDY anode makes the selective production of OH (ΔG = 2.4 eV) thermodynamically favorable. The investigation comprises the understanding of the relationship between OER to electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP), and give a proof-of-concept of finding the novel and robust environmental EAOP anode at quantum chemistry level.
