Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Interfacial Acid Sites‐Mediated ZnO‐Based Electrocatalysts for Sustainable Dual‐Pathway H2O2 Production and Rechargeable Zn‐H2O2 Electrochemical Cell

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, a synergistic strategy introduces interfacial acid sites, oxygen vacancies, and built‐in electric field into ZnSe/ZnO heterojunction to optimize its electronic structure and electrode micro‐environment. This overcomes sluggish oxygen reduction reaction kinetics and low H2O2 selectivity, achieving record H2O2 productivity (754.4 M gcat−1 ...
