Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A solution‐processed distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) film, integrated via block copolymer (BCP) self‐assembly, enhances photon recycling in BiVO4 photoanodes for improved photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance. By tuning lamellar structures using lactic acid and cross‐linking density, the DBR film optimally shifts working wavelengths, boosting ...

Thermodynamics and gravitational collapse [PDF]
, 2011 It is known now that a typical gravitational collapse in general relativity, evolving from regular initial data and under physically reasonable conditions would end in either a black hole or a naked singularity final state.

Influence of Hysteresis on Magnetocaloric Performance at Cryogenic Temperatures: A Tb3Ni Case Study
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The existence of an inverse magnetocaloric effect in metamagnetic materials at cryogenic temperatures is investigated using multiple methods. Contrary to predictions from magnetization data, neither specific heat nor pulsed‐field measurements show such a cooling effect, instead indicating irreversible heating.

Defects in Inorganic Mechanoluminescent Phosphors: Insights and Impacts
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Mechanoluminescence is attracting more attention recently, and defect dominates mechanoluminescence performances. Investigating how defects work in the mechanoluminescence process is crucial for elucidating its complex luminescence mechanism. This review aims to emphasize the fundamental role of defects in mechanoluminescence, which offers an ...

Chemo‐Mechanical Coupling in Hydrogels: Dynamics in the Diffusion‐Limited Regime
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A time‐dependent continuum model is developed to capture the transient swelling dynamics of chemo‐mechanical hydrogels. By coupling chemical reactions, solvent transport, and polymer deformation, volume phase transitions, reaction kinetics, and transient mechanical instabilities are analyzed.

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2023 The non-isothermal deformation of soft mudrocks or clay soils is one of the most critical issues in energy and environmental related geotechnics. Clay-related geomaterials hold complex microstructure and mineral composition, which brings difficulty in ...

Quantum Coherent Three-Terminal Thermoelectrics: Maximum Efficiency at Given Power Output
Entropy, 2016 This work considers the nonlinear scattering theory for three-terminal thermoelectric devices used for power generation or refrigeration. Such systems are quantum phase-coherent versions of a thermocouple, and the theory applies to systems in which ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A coacervate charged polymer network is designed to regulate Coulomb interactions for stabilizing silicon anodes. By tuning electrostatic interactions, the binders enhance adhesion, stress dissipation, and interfacial stability. The binder with the strongest Coulomb interactions enables high areal capacities and stable full‐cell cycling with Ni‐rich ...
