Lattice Strain and Built‐In Field Synergistically Boost Urea Oxidation via Dynamic NiOOH Mediation at Multiphase Heterointerfaces

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A sulfur‐doped lignin‐derived carbon‐coated Ni‐NiO‐MoO2 nanorod array was synthesized, exhibiting enhanced UOR performance ‐ due to lattice‐strain and built‐in electric field effects by multiphase heterogeneous interface in Ni‐NiO‐MoO2@SC, excellent corrosion resistance, mass‐transport ability, and long‐term stability (500 mA cm−2 at 1.53 V for 500 h ...

Atom–Cluster Synergy in Scalable Fe–Ru Dual‐Site Architectures Accelerates Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanochemically synthesized dual‐site electrocatalyst (RuNC@Fe1NC) accelerates alkaline hydrogen evolution via atomic‐level spatial decoupling. Oxophilic Fe single atoms effectively dissociate water, while adjacent Ru nanoclusters rapidly recombine hydrogen.

A Multifunctional Ionograsper Enabling Ion‐Redistribution Proximity Sensing and Structural‐Reconfiguration‐Driven Bidirectional Actuation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A solid‐state ionic actuator integrates sensing, actuation, and memory within one material. A brief UV pulse induces long‐lasting deformation via coupled network rearrangement, dehydration, and rehydration, while ionic redistribution enables self‐powered sensing, supporting multifunctional, energy‐efficient soft robotic functions without continuous ...

A Cu2S/NiOOH Heterojunction Enables Highly Selective Ammonia‐to‐Nitrite Electrooxidation at Industrially Relevant Current Densities

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Cu2S/NiOOH heterojunction enables efficient ammonia electrooxidation coupled with hydrogen evolution. Interfacial electronic modulation of Ni sites promotes selective NH3‐to‐NO2− electrooxidation at high current density. In a membrane electrode assembly, Cu2S/NiOOH maintains over 90% Faradaic efficiency of nitrite at 800 mA cm−2, highlighting its ...

Pulsed Oxidative–Reductive Electrolysis Over Dual Cu and Co Single‐Atom Sites for Urea Electrosynthesis

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Alternating oxidative–reductive pulses synchronize CO2‐derived *CO and NH3‐derived *NHx intermediates over dual Cu and Co single‐atom sites, enabling urea and ethyl urea formation with a total C─N Faradaic efficiency of 42 ± 4%. In situ spectroscopy and theoretical calculations elucidate complementary Cu and Co functions, while oxidative controls ...

Design of High‐Energy Anode for All‐Solid‐State Lithium Batteries–A Model with Borohydride‐Based Electrolytes

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study proposes a function‐sharing anode design to enable nonmetallic lithium insertion while maintaining intimate interfacial contact with the solid‐state electrolyte. A combination of lithium‐compatible and conformable borohydrides, highly conformable indium metal, less‐graphitized acetylene black, and a layer of highly graphitized massive ...
