Regulating the Interphase Strain in High‐Entropy Oxide Thin Films – An Approach to Attaining Giant Energy Storage Capability under Moderate Electric Fields

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates an interphase strain engineering strategy to regulate capacitive energy storage performance in high‐entropy oxide thin films. Through introducing pyrochlore nanocolumns, the polarization response of perovskite unit cells is strengthened, yielding recoverable energy densities up to 93 J cm−3 with an efficiency of 83% under ...

Highly Scalable, Raspberry‐Like Microbeads with Nano‐/Micro‐Confined Hybrid Hydrogel Desiccants for Rapid Atmospheric Water Harvesting

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable nano‐/micro‐confinement strategy is developed, where polyacrylamide (PAM)‐LiCl hybrid desiccants are confined within hollow nanoparticles (HNPs) and assembled into raspberry‐like microbeads. The beads have a hydrogel‐rich core and an NP‐rich shell for fast absorption and desorption, releasing water 13.6 L kg⁻¹ day⁻¹.

Functionalized Lignin Derivatives as Melt‐Spinnable Precursors for Carbon Fiber Production without Stabilization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
By turning off hydrogen bonds by bulky ethyl cinnamate ester derivatization, softwood kraft lignin can flow under elevated temperatures, providing tough fiber in the melt for high take‐up speed. Subsequently, lignin ethyl cinnamate derivatives are readily stabilized with only dilute nitric acid leading to direct carbonized fiber with outstanding ...
