Resonant Domain Wall Dynamics in a Three‐Dimensional Magnetic Nano Double Helix

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
3D magnetic nanostructures promise exciting possibilities for magnetization dynamics. However, experimental realizations remain scarce. In nanoprinted cobalt double helices, time‐resolved X‐ray microscopy reveals harmonic domain wall dynamics. Simulations identify the mode and additional higher‐frequency resonances, revealing a rich dynamic landscape ...

3D‐Printed Arch‐Structured Tribolayer with Conducting Polymer Coating for Enhanced Triboelectric Energy Harvesting

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
PEDOT:PSS‐coated 3DP microstructures are introduced to realize TENGs with enhanced mechanical compliance and high electrical performance. Among the investigated geometries, arch‐shaped microstructures exhibit superior fatigue resistance due to their spring‐like behavior, enabling efficient stress distribution, stable contact evolution, and sustained ...

A Comprehensive Review of Waste‐Derived Materials for Solar Still Performance Enhancement

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solar desalination reduces energy use and produces freshwater sustainably, but its productivity is limited and cannot meet rising demand. Thus, solar desalination system improvements are sought to boost water productivity. Waste materials are abundantly available and burden the environment, making them low‐cost enhancers for solar desalination

All‐Solid‐State Batteries With Mechanically Stable Interfaces Consisting of a Zero‐Strain Cation‐Disordered Rocksalt Cathode

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interface stabilization is critical to the development of working all‐solid‐state batteries. Rigid cathode/solid electrolyte interfaces often disintegrate due to anisotropic volume change of cathode‐active materials, resulting in irreversible capacity loss.
