Electrocapillary Modulated Interfacial Tension Amplifies Liquid Metal Transduction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presented an electrocapillary‐enhanced magnetohydrodynamic pumping strategy that harnesses the Lorentz force and interfacial tension modulation of liquid metal droplets to achieve amplified fluidic power. The system enabled low‐voltage, self‐oscillating fluidic transduction with enhanced pressure and flow generation, supporting compact ...

Deflection of sliding droplets by dielectrophoresis force on a superhydrophobic surface

Scientific Reports
In this study, we experimentally identify the effect of liquid dielectrophoresis (LDEP) force on a superhydrophobic surface in directing the trajectory of moving water droplets across designed interdigitated electrodes and show that this method is ...

Electrolyte‐Induced Cu+ Preservation Results in a Selectivity Switch of Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction at a Copper‐Organic Framework as Electrocatalyst

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The active role of KCl as a neutral electrolyte enables switching the selectivity on a Cu organic framework from C1 to C2+ products during electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. ABSTRACT We introduce a copper‐nicotinate (Cu‐NA) framework as a halogenide‐stabilized Cu+/Cu0 pre‐catalyst for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction with high C2+ selectivity in a “neutral”

An All‐Textile, Mechano‐Capacitive Subtle Movement Sensor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A robust all‐textile capacitive sensor is introduced for measuring subtle body movements without long‐term degradation. By separating mechanical deformation from electrical sensing elements, accuracy, responsiveness, and durability are improved. Simple fabrication methods are presented, electrode effects are analyzed, and performance is validated ...
