MXene/Carboxymethyl Chitosan Moisture Responsive Soft Actuator with Diode‐Like Actuation for Versatile Applications Driven by Human Metabolism

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A MXene‐based actuator with gradient thickness is fabricated by a novel and simple vacuum‐assisted “tilt‐filtration” approach. The actuator exhibits a “diode‐like” controllable unidirectional deformation behavior under moisture gradient, and its deformation direction is strictly correlated to its thickness gradient direction and moisture source ...

Thermal Shielding and Vapor Transport Enhancement in MOF‐Enabled Membranes for Membrane Distillation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A metal–organic framework‐enabled membrane (MEM) with a hierarchical porous structure is developed for thermal‐efficient membrane distillation. By embedding ZIF‐8 onto PH nanofibers, the MEM achieves low thermal conductivity and significantly enhances vapor flux and thermal efficiency.

Rattan‐Based Solar Evaporator Hits 3.34 Kg·M−2·h−1 and Long‐Term Salt Resistance via Programmed Carbonization

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A rattan‐based evaporator with bimodal hierarchical porous structures achieves an high evaporation rate of 3.34 kg m−2 h−1 under 1 sun illumination by optimizing the surface water layer, localizing heat, and reducing vaporization enthalpy. Abstract Global water scarcity urgently demands sustainable purification solutions.

Rigid Hollow Microparticles for Enhanced Focused Ultrasound Treatment Under Optoacoustic Guidance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By combining focused ultrasound (FUS) and acoustically active hollow borosilicate microparticles (HBMPs), we demonstrate tunable control over interparticle dynamics and their localized thermal energy deposition. Modulation of acoustic frequency and particle concentration tailors the energy delivery, allowing adaptive, material‐based regulation of ...

A Machine Learning‐Driven Pore‐Scale Network Model Coupling Reaction Kinetics and Interparticle Transport for Catalytic Process Design

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Designing catalytic processes in porous reactors requires resolving coupled multiscale reaction–transport phenomena. We develop a machine‐learning‐accelerated pore‐scale dual‐network model with kinetics (DNMK), which captures reaction kinetics, pore‐scale transport, and reactor‐level behavior.
