Self‐Assembled Membranes for High Ion Selectivity and Proton Blocking in Electrochemical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phase‐separated alkyl poly(vinylimidazolium) membranes exhibit exceptional ionic conductivity, counter‐ion selectivity, and proton‐blocking ability by forming stable micro/macrophase‐separated domains. This design overcomes the conductivity–selectivity trade‐off in conventional ion‐exchange membranes (IEMs), offering a new paradigm for high‐performance

Designing Thermally Compatible Template‐Coating Pairs Toward Dimensionally Stable 3D Porous Carbons with Tunable Density

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
3D porous carbons with tunable density are crucial for energy storage, separations, and load‐bearing applications; however, their fabrication is often constrained by shrinkage during pyrolysis. This study optimizes and demonstrates the versatility of a template–coating pair strategy, producing materials that largely retain their shape and hierarchical ...

Dual‐Surface Reaction Enabled Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Photodiodes for Faint Light Detection and Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work proposes a dual‐surface reaction strategy to optimize the interfacial contacts in organic–inorganic photodetectors. 1,4,5,8,9,11‐hexaazatriphenylene hexacarbonitrile (HAT‐CN) and ytterbium layers are designed to react with the Si surface, thus minimizing noise.

Conformal Current Algebra in Two Dimensions

open access: yes, 2009
We construct a non-chiral current algebra in two dimensions consistent with conformal invariance. We show that the conformal current algebra is realized in non-linear sigma-models on supergroup manifolds with vanishing dual Coxeter number, with or ...

Spatially Resolved Click Patterning of Dyes on Graphene for 2D Hybrids with Regiotunable Fluorescence

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Well‐structured graphene hybrid architectures featuring spatially resolved fluorescent properties represent a promising but so‐far elusive synthetic target. A robust and straightforward method for fabricating well‐organized graphene‐dye hybrid nanoassemblies through a combination of reductive patterning and conventional click chemistry is presented ...

Upconversion Nanoparticles Embedded Photonic Contact Lens for Transepithelial Corneal Crosslinking Using Hyaluronate – Riboflavin Conjugate

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A minimally invasive, transepithelial corneal cross‐linking (TE‐CXL) approach is presented using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)‐loaded contact lenses (UCLs), after topical delivery of hyaluronate–riboflavin conjugates. The NIR‐to‐UV/blue light conversion by UCNPs in a UCL can activate riboflavin for TE‐CXL, resulting in the biomechanical strength ...

Insight into the Internal Structure of Biogenic, Synthetic and Geological Apatite by Electron Microscopy and X‐Ray Scattering

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Apatite occurs in many forms in nature, e.g. in teeth and geological minerals. Internally, biological apatite contains nanocrystals that are also found in synthetically prepared calcium phosphate nanoparticles which are used in biomedicine, e.g. for gene and drug delivery and for bone regeneration. Abstract Calcium phosphate is the inorganic component (

The Spectrum of the Partially Locked State for the Kuramoto Model

open access: yes, 2007
We solve a longstanding stability problem for the Kuramoto model of coupled oscillators. This system has attracted mathematical attention, in part because of its applications in fields ranging from neuroscience to condensed-matter physics, and also ...
