Advanced Science, EarlyView.Niobium nitride (NbN) broadband plasmonic metasurface absorbers provide an efficient platform for solar‐energy conversion through hot‐carrier injection. Quasi‐epitaxial NbN features a low work function of 4.0 eV, reducing the interfacial injection barrier and facilitating charge transfer into adjacent photocatalysts.

Decoding Interfacial Polymerization Through Steady Amine Delivery and Real‐Time QCM‐D Monitoring
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We combine steady amine delivery with in situ quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation to track interfacial polymerization in real time. The platform resolves three kinetic regimes: pre‐gelation oligomerization, post‐gelation aggregation and network growth, and diffusion‐limited film evolution.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A biomimetic multi‐layer hygroscopic membrane redistributes salt toward an air‐accessible nanofiber interface, enabling rapid interfacial deliquescence while a brush‐like hydrogel promotes efficient liquid transport and storage. By decoupling vapor capture from bulk water storage, the membrane achieves fast sorption kinetics and enables rapid‐cycling ...
