Metal‐Organic Framework‐Templated Construction of Internal Electric Field and S‐Vacancy Defect‐Engineered S‐Scheme Heterojunction for Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
A Bi2S3@ZnIn2S4 heterojunction with abundant sulfur vacancies was fabricated through MOF‐templated in situ synthesis. DFT calculations and experiments confirm the presence of an internal electric field (IEF) and S‐scheme charge transfer. The optimized catalyst shows a superior H2 evolution rate of 5.13 mmol·h−1 g−1 under visible light, which is 11.7 ...

Aerogel Fiber: A One‐Dimensional Programmable Porous Matter for Next Thermal Management Materials

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Aerogel fibers are redefined as one‐dimensional programmable porous matter, where thermal transport is governed by multiscale pathway engineering. By reconstructing and decoupling transport pathways from molecular to textile scales, these systems integrate insulation, radiative cooling, and adaptive thermal regulation.

Generating Helical Polymorphic Beams Using Dielectric Metasurfaces

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Helix‐shaped polymorphic beams are optical fields whose intensity maxima spiral around the propagation axis, enabling particle manipulation through attractive or repulsive forces. Traditionally requiring expensive spatial light modulators, metasurfaces now provide a compact, cost‐effective alternative. This work demonstrates general helical polymorphic
