Tailoring the Properties of Functional Materials With N‐Oxides

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The properties of materials bearing N‐oxide groups are often dominated by the polar N+─O− bond. It provides hydrophilicity, selective ion‐binding, electric conductivity, or antifouling properties. Many of the underlying mechanisms have only recently been discovered, and the interest in N‐oxide materials is rapidly growing.

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Superhydrophilic TiO2/WO2.72 Nanocomposites Boost PES Membranes Performance for Natural Spring Water Decontamination

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
TiO2 membrane photocatalytic activity outperformed TiO2/WO2.72 membrane. TiO2/WO2.72 membrane outperformed in hydrophilicity, permeation, rejection and antifouling. UV254 absorbance (0.14) was reduced in natural spring water with TiO2/WO2.72 membrane.
