Closed‐Loop Radiative Cooling Mulch Upcycled From Agricultural Residues for Efficient Soil Heat–Water Stress Mitigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.

Basal Plane Graphene Coated Zn Powder for High Performance Aqueous Zn Metal Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A mechanofusion‐driven dry coating forms a hydrophobic graphene shell on Zn powder, stabilizing the electrode‐electrolyte interface. This basal‐plane‐rich protective layer modifies the Zn2+ solvation environment and promotes preferential growth along the (002) plane, suppressing dendrite and parasitic reactions.

Eco‐Friendly Laser‐Induced Graphene/Perovskite Hybrids for Eco‐Friendly Photodetectors

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A sustainable paper‐based photodetector was developed by combining laser‐induced graphene (LIG) with MAPbI3 perovskite. Compared with pure LIG devices, the hybrid photodetector exhibited nearly 10‐fold higher responsivity and 7‐fold greater detectivity while maintaining stable performance after 1000 bending cycles, demonstrating its potential for ...
