Cation–Anion Synergy Enables Uniform and Stable SAMs for High‐Efficiency Perovskite/TOPCon Tandem Solar Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cation‐anion synergistic strategy is developed to enhance self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) adsorption using guanidinium thiocyanate (GuaSCN). Guanidinium (Gua⁺) suppresses micelle aggregation, while thiocyanate (SCN−) promotes phosphonic acid deprotonation and strengthens ionic bonding to the substrate.

Interfacial Synergy in a Band‐Aligned Low‐Dimensional Heterojunction Toward Broadband Photodetection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Monolithically integrating sensing and communication, a Ta2NiSe5/Sb2Te3 heterojunction achieves visible‐to‐near‐infrared photovoltaics with high‐speed terahertz photo‐thermoelectric detection at room temperature. By engineering a Type‐II van der Waals heterojunction, we overcome the intrinsic spectral limitations and disparate physical requirements of ...

Wavy‐Interlocked Stretchable Triboelectric Nanogenerators Enhanced by Liquid Metal Microflowers for Self‐Powered Wearable Motion Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic showing a stretchable triboelectric nanogenerator based on interlocked wavy architectures that uses EGaIn microflower‐embedded PVDF‐TrFE and Nylon‐6 nanofiber membranes. The multi‐petaled, electron‐rich EGaIn microflowers enhance interfacial polarization and capacitance, while the interlocked wavy architecture enlarges the effective contact ...

Smart Energy–Harvesting Coating for Moisture–Droplets Based on Ionic Diodes and Transistor–Like Structures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A smart power‐generating coating is developed to harvest energy from both ambient humidity and impacting liquid droplets. The integrated system delivers sustained open‐circuit voltages of 0.85 V from moisture and up to 36 V from droplets. Its scalable coating architecture enables a continuous power supply for low‐power electronic devices.

Redox‐Active NiOx‐Catalyzed Li+ Capture‐Extraction Strategy for tBP‐Free Spiro‐OMeTAD Enables Exceptional Damp‐Heat Stability in Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The redox‐active nature of NiOx enables ultrafast oxidative doping of spiro‐OMeTAD within seconds. Concurrently, NiOx‐Li+ coordination complexes formed during this redox process are selectively removed by filtration, effectively extracting residual Li+ ions from the film.

Polar Lattice‐Distorted Motifs Enable Synergy of Local Polarization/Dipole Fields for Concurrent Glyphosate Wastewater Remediation and CO Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Photocatalytic treatment of glyphosate herbicide in agricultural wastewater is achieved through the cooperative effect of the local polarization field and dipole field mediated by lattice‐distorted carbon nitride. Glyphosate is completely degraded via selective C─P bond cleavage with a CO evolution rate of 1166 µmol g−1 h−1.

Nanoscale Structure of Lipid–Gemini Surfactant Mixed Monolayers Resolved with AFM and KPFM Microscopy

Nanomaterials
Drug delivery vehicles composed of lipids and gemini surfactants (GS) are promising in gene therapy. Tuning the composition and properties of the delivery vehicle is important for the efficient load and delivery of DNA fragments (genes). In this paper, we studied novel gene delivery systems composed of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), 1,
