Molecular Cross‐Linking of MXenes: Tunable Interfaces and Chemiresistive Sensing
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this study, Ti3C2Tx MXenes are initially functionalized using oleylamine ligands to form stable dispersions in an organic solvent. Subsequently ligand exchange with α,ω‐diaminoalkanes enables cross‐linking, along with precise tuning of interfaces. This structural control translates into tunable charge transport and responsive VOC sensing, showing ...

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Photo‐Switching Thermal and Lithium‐Ion Conductivity in Azobenzene Polymers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Light‐responsive azobenzene polymers control thermal and ionic transport simultaneously through structural transitions. UV illumination disrupts π–π stacking, converting crystalline trans states to amorphous cis configurations. Thermal conductivity drops from 0.45 to 0.15 W·m−1·K−1 while Li+ diffusivity increases 100 fold. This dual transport switching
