Supervariate Gel Transforms into Various Biominerals in Salt Solutions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
It is revealed that common calcium‐based biominerals can form from a stable, non‐toxic ‘supervariate’ gel. This tunable gel selectively yields calcite or hydroxyapatite in carbonate/phosphate solutions, while CaCl₂ facilitates the formation of dihydrate calcium pyrophosphate, which converts to hydroxyapatite upon drying. These findings provide insights

Native Lignin Migration and Clustering in Wood: Superhydrophobic, Antimold, and Tribonegative Layers for Rain‐Driven Electrification

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a sustainable solution for rainwater‐driven energy harvesting by harnessing the intrinsic properties of lignin in wood. The first demonstration of an all‐wood tribonegative material for liquid–solid triboelectric nanogenerators is presented, eliminating the need for fluorine‐containing polymers and functional additives. Abstract The

Au@h‐BN Core–Shell Nanostructure as Advanced Shell‐Isolated Nanoparticles for In Situ Electrochemical Raman Spectroscopy in Alkaline Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the stability and Raman signal enhancement effects of Au@h‐BN nanoparticles in an alkaline electrolyte on. A comparison between conventional SiO2 and h‐BN shells reveals that the h‐BN core‐shell structure provides superior stability and enhanced Raman intensity over multiple cyclic voltammetry cycles.

Supramolecular Zwitterionic Hydrogels for Information Encryption, Soft Electronics and Energy Storage at Icy Temperature

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A series of ACHPES‐based hydrogels are developed and realizing multiple functions like anti‐fouling properties, alkali‐induced color/fluorescence‐changing ability and strain sensing. Furthermore, the hydrogels show excellent anti‐freezing performance, whose optical, mechanical and electrical properties remain stable at −47.3 °C.
