A Multifunctional Binder for Current‐Collector‐Free Zn Powder Anodes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
By introducing abundant polar groups as Zn2+ absorption sites and hydrogen bond arrays, a protein structure‐derived binder for ZP anode and iodine cathode is proposed. This design can regulate the Zn2+ flux, benefit the formation of free‐standing electrode, inhibit the side reactions, suppress the shuttle effect of polyiodides, and enable the large ...

Full Wafer Scale Manufacturing of Directly Printed TiO2 Metalenses at Visible Wavelengths with Outstanding Focusing Efficiencies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The highest experimentally determined focusing efficiency is reported here by using the direct imprinting of all‐inorganic TiO2 metalens arrays. Absolute efficiency greater than 80% and relative efficiency greater than 90% are achieved by optimization of all fabrication parameters controllable in the additive manufacturing process.

Controlling Lithium Surface Diffusivity via 2D PtTe2, PdTe2, and NiTe2 Coatings for Anode‐Free and Lithium Metal Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Lithium plating mechanisms on 2D‐coated current collectors: PtTe2 coating enables rapid Li surface diffusivity, while PdTe2 and NiTe2 coatings shorten diffusion paths for Li adatoms. In addition, Li2Te, formed from PdTe2 and NiTe2 decomposition, reduces the critical nucleus size by lowering the interfacial energy between the electrolyte and deposited ...

Precision Synthesis of a Single Chain Polymorph of a 2D Solid within Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The precise synthesis of 1D materials has enabled the discovery of physical properties only accessible in length scales close to the atomic scale. Herein, it is demonstrated that encapsulation within single‐walled carbon nanotubes with matching diameters leads to a stoichiometric quasi‐1D van der Waals polymorph of a 2D pnictogen chalcogenide, Sb2Te3 ...

Synthetic Chromatophores for Color and Pattern Morphing Skins

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Cephalopods use chromatophore organs (muscle‐actuated pigment sacs) to alter their skin color and pattern. Synthetic chromatophores, which closely mimic the mechano‐optical process found in cephalopods using stimuli‐responsive microscale hydrogel actuators, are reported.

New Perspectives on Semiconducting Conjugated Oligomers for Neuromodulation in Hydra vulgaris

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Semiconducting organic compounds, thiophene‐based, modify the rhythmic electrical activity of the cnidarian Hydra vulgaris acting on specific neuronal circuits. The ETE‐S trimer also forms electronically conducting wires in the living tissues of the animal.
