Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels
ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Two‐dimensional CuInP2S6 nanosheets are incorporated into a P(VDF‐TrFE) matrix to induce polarization‐cooperative ferroelectric coupling. The resulting P(VDF‐TrFE)/CuInP2S6 hybrid film exhibits reinforced ferroelectric ordering and reduced coercive electric fields compared with pristine P(VDF‐TrFE).

Surface‐charged N‐CQDs serve as both electrolyte additives and photocathode modifiers. Electrodeposited N‐CQDs on Cu2O form a stable composite, steering 4e− ORR toward water. A quasi‐solid electrolyte with N‐CQDs aids charge migration, electrode‐electrolyte interfacial compatibility and replenishes active sites.

Coupled Electronic and Ionic Conductivity in Strain‐Stiffening Hydrogels
A soft PVA–PABA hydrogel is developed that couples tissue‐like strain‐stiffening mechanics with dual ionic–electronic conduction. Dynamic boronic crosslinks enable self‐assembled percolative pathways, producing deformation‐responsive resistance with a stabilization plateau at stiffening onset, revealing alignment‐assisted charge transport and advancing

Continuous wet‐spinning of PANI with TeNWs yields a multifunctional microfiber. Oriented TeNWs impose chain alignment and enhance π‐electron delocalization, boosting the Seebeck coefficient to 59.9 µV K−1 for passive temperature sensing (1 K detection limit), while achieving high pH sensitivity (59.25 mV pH−1) and rapid NH3 response (0.96 s).

In this work, an interfacial growth method using PVDF‐HFP enables controlled permeation of 2‐methylimidazole to react with Co2+, forming an ultrathin (420 nm) ZIF‐67 layer by precisely tuning the reaction time. This dense layer promotes lithium salt dissociation and suppresses dendrite growth, while its ultrathin nature reduces Li+ transport resistance,
