Zero‐Power, Optical Toxic Gas and Vapor Sensors Utilizing Printed Nematic Liquid Crystal Patterns on Selectively Reactive Substrates

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 4, Issue 6, June 2025.
Fast response, zero‐power, text or image sensors utilizing light transmission or reflection, and no unfavorable color change judgments, are fabricated using printed nematic liquid crystals patterned on reactive alignment layers, permit ppt‐ to ppb‐level sensitivity, and were field‐tested with active firefighters.

Printed Recyclable and Flexible Thermocouple Temperature Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
Printed recyclable thermocouple sensors with low cost, easy processing, and compatibility with mass production are developed. Using re‐dissolvable polymeric binders, the printed sensors decompose without harsh treatments, while ferromagnetic Ni flakes enable efficient magnetic separation of materials.

Facile Functionalization of Separator with an Amino Acid to Boost Li–S Battery Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a viable bio‐approach to functionalize conventional separators using leucine‐polyacrylic acid (Leu‐PAA) via the simple soaking method. This strategy synergistically improves polysulfide trapping, regulates lithium‐ion flux, and enhances thermal and mechanical stability, leading to excellent cycling stability.

Sustainable Flame‐Retardant Poly Lactic Acid Biocomposites Reinforced with Polyphosphate‐Enriched Microalgae: Unlocking the Potential of Hyper‐Compensation

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study explores microalgae cultivation for wastewater treatment and enhancement of poly lactic acid (PLA)‐based biocomposites. It achieves up to 99.9% nutrient removal, increases biomass productivity by 322%, and demonstrates a triphasic luxury phosphorus uptake system. Incorporation into PLA improves fire‐retardant properties, suggesting potential
