Unveiling Phonon Contributions to Thermal Conductivity and the Applicability of the Wiedemann—Franz Law in Ruthenium and Tungsten Thin Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thermal transport in Ru and W thin films is studied using steady‐state thermoreflectance, ultrafast pump–probe spectroscopy, infrared‐visible spectroscopy, and computations. Significant Lorenz number deviations reveal strong phonon contributions, reaching 45% in Ru and 62% in W.

Boosting the Energy Density of “Anode‐Free” Lithium Metal Batteries via Electrospun Polymeric Scaffolds

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
While host structures are known to enhance the reversibility and safety of lithium metal deposition, their additional volume and weight often decrease the battery's energy density and specific energy. By combining a lightweight and porous scaffold of electrospun polymer with a thinner separator, this article demonstrates a simultaneous improvement of ...

Encapsulating Zinc Powder in MXene/Silk Scaffolds with Zincophilic‐Hydrophobic Polymer for Flexible Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work develops flexible zinc‐ion batteries (FZIBs) using a zincophilic/hydrophobic polymer (thermoplastic polycarbonate‐based polyurethane, TPCU) to protect Zn powder anodes and MXene/Silk (MXS) as flexible current collectors. The designed TPCU‐ZnP@MXS structure enables uniform Zn deposition, yielding dendrite‐free anodes with stable cycling ...

Mechanical Properties of Architected Polymer Lattice Materials: A Comparative Study of Additive Manufacturing and CAD Using FEM and µ‐CT

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study examines how pore shape and manufacturing‐induced deviations affect the mechanical properties of 3D‐printed lattice materials with constant porosity. Combining µ‐CT analysis, FEM, and compression testing, the authors show that structural imperfections reduce stiffness and strength, while bulk material inhomogeneities probably enhance ...
