Shapeshifting Liquid Metal Droplets for Soft Fluidic Machines

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presented a liquid metal shape shifting strategy which harnesses Lorentz force, surface tension and fluid instabilities to achieve autonomous fluidic power. By using a liquid metal droplet as a mobile current carrier, this strategy enables the development of low‐voltage, self‐oscillating pumps that outperform existing soft pumps.

Proton Selective Nanoporous Atomically Thin Graphene Membranes for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable high‐performance proton‐exchange‐membrane architecture is demonstrated that integrates monolayer CVD graphene with Ar plasma‐engineered Angstrom‐scale proton‐selective pores, stacked to mitigate non‐selective defects, and interfaced with an ultrathin (≈300 nm) polybenzimidazole layer sandwiched between two Nafion 211 sheets.
