ABSTRACT Direct seawater electrolysis is severely constrained by the activity‐durability trade‐off and chloride‐induced corrosion. Herein, we design corrosion‐resistant, highly selective layered double hydroxide (LDH) catalysts by transitioning interlayer bonding from weak electrostatic attraction to strong coordination. Amphiphilic dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) coordinates with Fe active center…

ABSTRACT Interstitial electronic states, commonly found in F‐centers and electrides, have garnered significant attention in materials discovery, and applications spanning catalysis and electronics. Here, we demonstrate that active‐metal‐rich intermetallics serve as a platform for forming diverse cationic cages that accommodate distinct interstitial electrons. This arises from two key factors: (1)…

ABSTRACT Rechargeable Li‐CO 2 batteries (LCBs) hold great promise for dual‐function CO 2 utilization and energy storage, yet their practical application is hindered by the sluggish kinetics of the conventional Li 2 CO 3 pathway, resulting in low discharge voltages (below 2.0 V) and large overpotentials (over 1.0 V). Herein, we propose a strategy of CO 2 reduction pathway engineering via alloy‐sup…

ABSTRACT The state‐of‐art commercial polymeric adhesives are mainly petroleum‐based, non‐biodegradable and not tolerant of low temperature, severely limiting their applications in extremely cold regions. Current research efforts focus on development of sustainable and biodegradable polyester‐based adhesives. However, nearly all the reported polyester‐based adhesives were used at room temperature,…

ABSTRACT Despite the remarkable efficiency enhancement enabled by the ternary strategy in organic solar cells (OSCs), yet a molecular‐level understanding of electronic coupling and its role in energetic alignment remains lacking. Here, we report a well‐defined bimolecular co‐crystal (BC) formed between the widely used acceptor L8‐BO and a newly designed benzotriazole‐based guest, Y18‐C3, as confi…

ABSTRACT The fabrication of quantum dots (QDs) micro‐patterns, especially those with both µm‐scale high‐resolution and mm‐/cm‐ scale large area uniformity, remains a bottleneck limiting the application of quantum dot light‐emitting diodes (QLEDs). Current strategies have suffered from either low resolution or complicated micro‐template assisted fabrications deteriorating the device performance. H…

ABSTRACT Polymer electrolytes (PEs) are widely regarded as a promising platform for solid‐state batteries (SSBs), offering the potential to simultaneously achieve high energy density with improved safety. However, in current literature, PEs spanning liquid‐percolated gels, liquid‐assisted quasi‐solids, and truly polymer‐governed solids are often indiscriminately grouped as solid polymer electroly…

ABSTRACT Effectively inducing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress to initiate cell pyroptosis is promising to elevate cancer immunotherapy, as it avoids immune escape of tumor cells and insufficient differentiation of immune cells. However, it remains a major challenge due to the lack of effective ways to induce ER stress. Herein, we reported the conceptually new electro‐pyroptosis immunotherapy (E…

ABSTRACT Heat dissipation remains a formidable challenge for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based high‐frequency substrates, as the integration of thermally conductive fillers like hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is often hindered by the intrinsic chemical inertness and ultra‐low surface energy of PTFE. Herein, a soluble fluoroalkyl end‐capped polyimide (FPI) precursor is developed. The amphipathic…

The direct recycling of spent cathode materials is a promising strategy for a sustainable supply chain but remains challenging for industrial-sourced cathode black mass due to its complex morphology and heterogeneous impurities.

Here, a persistent RL-assisted energy-discriminated approach…

Non-radiative energy loss remains a critical limitation to further improving the efficiency of organic solar cells (OSCs), as charge generation is typically governed by charge-transfer (CT) states that intrinsically suffer from non-radiative recombination. Intra-moiety excitation (i-EX), a delocalized excitation capable of dissociating within acceptor domains, provides an alternative pathway that…

Integrating sensing functions into memristors is promising to realize in-sensor computing with unpreceded energy efficiency and minimized latency. Strain-sensitive memristors gradually draw attention in neuromorphic tactile sensing applications, but still face the sensitivity-response time tradeoff dilemma. Here, we demonstrate that antiphase boundaries (APBs) in thin-film structures function as …

Morphogenesis is a major developmental process that shapes organs in utero through coordinated structural deformations. Outside of simple cellular or animal models, limited models of morphogenesis exist due to the complexity of hierarchical structural change. In development, the embryonic heart undergoes a complex morphogenesis process involving looping, chamber growth, and septation, transformin…

Wearable and deformable electronics must be driven by safe and flexible batteries. Aluminum battery is an intrinsically safe energy storage device, but can not meet flexible requirements due to the rigid Al foil negative electrode.
