Quasi‐Antipolar Nanoclusters Driven Superior Energy Storage in High‐Entropy Relaxor Ferroelectrics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Quasi‐antipolar nanoclusters are engineered in lead‐free NaNbO3‐based high‐entropy relaxors that weaken polar nanoregion coupling and induce distinct ferroelectric transition under high fields to enable desirable polarization response. This breakthrough system achieves ultrahigh recoverable‐energy‐density (≈18.3 J cm−3), efficiency (≈91.5%), and ...

Synergistic Intra‐ and Inter‐Nanozyme Electron Transfer through Interfacial Assembly for Enhanced Multi‐Enzyme Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel Prussian blue‐based composite nanoenzymes (PB C‐NZs)‐MoS2/PB, was designed based on the electron transfer mechanism and transport pathway. The structure uses MoS2 as the substrate, with PB grown on its surface through a surface assembly method.

Delocalized Charge Transport in Thermoelectric Composites of Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes Wrapped with a P‐Type Polymer

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Composites made of semiconducting carbon nanotubes and p‐type polymers, when adequately doped with molecular dopants, can exhibit highly delocalized charge carrier transport, showing high thermoelectric performances. The efficient charge delocalization is enabled by the reduced coulombic binding energy at high carrier concentration and the small ...

Scalable Wheat Bran‐Algae Composites for Edible Electronics with Spray‐Coated Food‐Grade Conductive Inks

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A fully edible wheat bran–algae substrate is fabricated through scalable mould‐compression and spray‐coating, enabling robust, food‐grade platforms for sustainable electronics. A chitosan barrier improves water resistance and ink compatibility, while activated‐carbon conductive films form uniform electrodes with Ohmic behaviour.

Catalyst Layer Modifications for Enhanced Performance of Fluorine‐Free Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Considerable improvement in the performance of fully‐hydrocarbon‐based fuel cells is necessary to replace and compete with Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances‐containing fuel cells. Herein, a way to enhance the ionic conductivity of the catalyst layer (CL) by incorporating insoluble ionomer particles into the CL is presented.
