Bidirectional Soft Catalysts for Improved Power Performance of Li‐S Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A soft polymer‐metal catalyst is integrated into the binder to create a catalytically active microenvironment that accelerates bidirectional sulfur redox kinetics in lithium‐sulfur batteries. A model polyvinyl alcohol‐Cu catalyst enables high areal capacities at demanding current densities and stable cycling in pouch‐cell prototypes at 0.5 C, achieving

Rapid Exonuclease‐Based De Novo Sequencing Strategy for Long Oligonucleotides via Liquid‐Phase Ion Trap Coupled With Mass Spectrometry

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A liquid‐phase ion trap (LPIT) coupled with ESI‐MS enables rapid, high‐fidelity de novo sequencing of long oligonucleotides in ∼30 min. By applying an electric field to dissociate metal adducts in solution, LPIT delivers clean spectra, superior mass accuracy, and full sequence coverage, surpassing MALDI‐TOF and LC‐MS.

Giant Direct Magnetoelectric Effect in Nanocomposite CoFe2O4:PVDF‐TrFE Thin Films

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel three‐step grow‐etch‐fill fabrication approach creates structured cobalt ferrite/ferroelectric polymer nanocomposites with high interfacial areas. Driven by efficient strain‐mediated coupling, this crystalline system achieves a giant room‐temperature magnetoelectric coefficient nearly two orders of magnitude higher than other CFO/PVDF‐TrFE thin
