  • Patent number: 12221356
    Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing copper azide and cuprous azide encapsulated by conductive metal-organic framework. The method uses a conductive copper-containing metal-organic framework material as a precursor, and completes the azidation of the precursor by means of a liquid-solid electrochemical azidation reaction. Copper azide and cuprous azide nanocrystals are highly uniformly embedded within a conductive framework, which may effectively avoid the agglomeration of copper azide and cuprous azide, and reduce static charge generated by friction, displacement, and the like. Meanwhile, the conductive framework may promote the effective transfer of charge, avoid the accumulation of static charge, and improve the electrostatic safety.

  • Patent number: 12181727
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lens assembly and a mobile terminal. The lens assembly includes a lens and a protective casing. The lens and the protective casing are fixedly connected to the mobile terminal separately. The lens is sheathed in the protective casing. A spacing exists between the protective casing and the lens. In the lens assembly and the mobile terminal provided in this embodiment, when the lens assembly is impacted, the protective casing receives the impact first and is deformed. Without direct connection or contact between the lens and the protective casing, a force received by the protective casing will not be directly transmitted to the lens, and the lens will not be pressed to deform by the protective casing, thereby avoiding a circumstance in which the deformation of the lens makes the mobile terminal unable to accurately recognize an obstacle.
