Stiff to Soft: A Protein‐Based Buffer Layer for Improving the Long‐Term Performance of Microneedle Sensors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
To enhance stability and long‐term biocompatibility of wearable microneedle sensors, a crosslinking‐recombination bovine serum albumin material is used as a buffer layer coated on microneedle sensors. This coating layer possesses a unique stiff‐to‐soft transition function balancing the mechanical stiffness desired for puncturing and soft required for ...

Emergent Freestanding Complex Oxide Membranes for Multifunctional Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review surveys freestanding oxide membranes and covers fabrication and three pathways for studies and devices: strain‐free and strained membranes, and van der Waals‐integrated heterostructures. We show how coupled oxide responses map onto these routes and cross‐couple to expand behaviors.

The three-dimensional arrangement of the cathode weakens the bubble aggregation during the electrochemical water softening reaction

, 2023
Abstract In the application of electrochemical water softening technology, bubbles on the electrode surface during growth and detachment can accumulate into a dense bubble film on the electrode surface, which significantly affects the softening efficiency.

Hydrogel‐Based 3D‐Printable Stretchable Pressure Sensor

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We present a carbon‐black‐functionalized double‐network granular hydrogel (DNGH) pressure sensor capable of detecting pressures from 200 Pa, equivalent to a light finger touch, up to 500 kPa. The sensor exhibits signal drifts below 3.5% after 800 cycles and response times around 80 ms. Leveraging this broad sensing range, we 3D print this material into

Combination of magnetically actuated flexible graphite–polymer composite cathode and boron-doped diamond anode for electrochemical water softening or wastewater treatment

Electrochimica Acta, 2020
Abstract An electrochemical reactor based on a moving graphite–polymer composite (GPC) cathode and boron-doped diamond anode is developed and used for the electrochemical water softening and treatment of artificial vacuum toilet wastewater. The magnetically actuated cathode is designed for the in situ removal of insoluble compounds, which usually ...
