Interface Engineering via Sb2Te3 Deposition Enables High‐Performance SWCNT Film Thermoelectrics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
SWCNTs are promising for flexible thermoelectrics but suffer from low performance. Here, cold‐pressed SWCNT films combined with deposited Sb2Te3 form engineered interfaces that enhance charge transport and energy filtering. The composite achieves a high power factor (25.82 µW cm−1 K−2) and delivers a power density of 3 mW cm−2 at ΔT = 40 K, with ...

The Sedimentary Origin of Black and White Banded Cherts of the Buck Reef, Barberton, South Africa

Geosciences, 2019
The Buck Reef is a 250−400 m thick sequence of banded black and white (B&W) cherts deposited ca. 3416 Ma ago in a shallow basin. We provide field, petrological and geochemical constraints on the chert-forming process and the origin of the ...

Ionic Precursors Transformed Into Vinyl Acetate Synthesis Catalyst via Reaction‐Driven Restructuring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that a simple physical mixture of Pd and Au ionic precursors, KOAc promoter, and SiO2 support can transform into a highly active vinyl acetate synthesis catalyst through reaction‐driven restructuring. The results highlight reaction‐induced restructuring as an innovative and sustainable catalyst design strategy.

Particle Accretion in Microgravity. I. Particle Sizes and Bulk Densities

The Planetary Science Journal
The precise mechanisms related to the accretion of protoplanetesimals from dust in protoplanetary disks (PPDs) are poorly understood. In order to better understand the early stages of planet formation and the growth of millimeter–centimeter agglomerates,

Si‐Doped Nanocrystalline Diamond as Highly Sensitive Luminescence Thermometer for the Physiological Temperature Range

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, diamonds with negative charged silicon‐vacancy (SiV−) centers have been designed for use as thermometers in biomedical applications. Multiparametric analysis of the emission characteristics of the SiV− centers provides extraordinary sensitivity for temperature detection in the physiological temperature range.

Catalytically Enhanced Near Room‐Temperature Hydrogen Sensing Using Pd‐ZnO Colloidal Crystals

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Pd‐decorated ZnO colloidal crystal monolayers demonstrate excellent performance across a wide hydrogen concentration range at 33°C, with high selectivity and reproducible device fabrication. The sensors show strong responses even at low‐ppm H2 concentrations and an ultra‐low detection limit of 82 ppb, indicating their suitability for diverse hydrogen ...

Functionalizing Micro‐to‐Mesoscopic Electrode Architectures for Regulating Electron Transfer Behaviors in Electrocatalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A systematic review is conducted to assess the influence of electrode architecture across micro‐ to mesoscopic length scales on electron‐transfer pathways in electrocatalysis. We discuss the structure‐activity relationships in electrocatalytic applications, including resource recovery and environmental remediation, and provide cost‐effective, efficient
