Biobased Bionic Spider Silk via Electrostatic Complexation for Simultaneously Harvesting Atmospheric Water and Triboelectric Energy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based bionic spider silk and spider web are first prepared using polyelectrolyte complexation technique for the simultaneous harvesting of water and triboelectric energy. The advantage of this process lies on entirely bio‐based materials, fully green water‐processable procedures, extremely high production rate (99.36%), excellent fog harvesting ...

Spectrally Tuned Floating‐Gate Synapse Based on Blue‐ and Red‐Absorbing Organic Molecules for Wavelength‐Selective Neural Networks and Fashion Image Classifications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The characteristics of a vertical floating gate heterostructure transistor device that exhibits neuromorphic potentiation under visible light illumination are investigated. Due to spectrally‐tuned absorbance properties of each thin film layer and introduction of tunneling dielectric, the device enables wavelength‐selective tuning of synaptic plasticity

Boosting Mechanoluminescence Performance in Doped CaZnOS by the Facile Self‐Reduction Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐reduction primarily enhances mechanoluminescence intensity by deliberately introducing lattice defects, which increase structural distortion and amplify the piezoelectric response, thereby improving the force‐to‐light conversion efficiency. Additionally, self‐reduction optimizes the local distribution of Mn2+ ions, promoting energy concentration ...
