Chemically Modular, Nonfluorinated Polymer Adsorbents for Capturing Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Nonfluorinated polymer networks for PFAS adsorption are synthesized using active ester click chemistry. Incorporating Lewis base ligands along with hydrophilic and hydrophobic co‐monomers leads to high PFOA binding efficiency. Ligand basicity and pH are found to play an important role in PFOA sorption.

Molecular‐Grafting‐Induced Anion Immobilization in Polymer Electrolytes for High‐Transference‐Number and Dendrite‐Free Solid‐State Lithium Batteries

Electron, EarlyView.
By grafting lithium phenylsulfonate onto a PVDF backbone, we create a solid electrolyte that immobilizes anions and enhances Li+ transport. This results in a high Li+ transference number (0.67) and uniform ion flux, enabling stable, dendrite‐free cycling in lithium metal batteries.

Strategic construction of fluorinated surroundings in NIR‐II‐emissive organic semiconducting agents for amplifying cancer phototheranostics

FlexMat, EarlyView.
The development of conventional phototheranostic nanomedicines suffers from an intrinsic trade‐off between NIR‐II fluorescence emission and phototherapeutic effects, leading to poor overall efficacy. Herein, we propose an innovative fluorination strategy by constructing fluorinated surroundings in NIR‐II‐emissive organic semiconducting agents to ...
