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 ...

Can Elastomers Combine Stiffness, Toughness and Fatigue Resistance?

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review studies how the molecular and macroscopic architecture of elastomers influence their mechanical properties including: stiffness, stretchability, toughness, fatigue resistance, and damping behavior. By linking the structure to performance, it proposes design principles for advanced elastomeric systems that combine mechanical properties ...

Hybrid Amyloid–Boron Nitride Aerogels for Lightweight Sound Insulation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Amyloid fibrils template the mild formation of boron nitride–rich hybrid aerogels with hierarchical porosity, enhanced BN‐like ordering, and fibril‐reinforced mechanics. These ultralight materials combine thermal stability with strong sound absorption and transmission loss, offering a sustainable bio‐assisted route toward lightweight acoustic shields ...

Topology‐Orchestrated Multi‐physical Energy Control in Turtle Shell‐Inspired Metamaterials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A turtle shell‐inspired lattice metamaterial efficiently manages acoustic, fluid‐thermal, and mechanical energy flows simultaneously. The unique hybrid‐coupling architecture achieves superior sound attenuation via pore‐cavity resonance, facilitates effective airflow transport, and maximizes mechanical energy absorption through multistage cell ...
