MXene Membrane as Multifunctional Interface for Vapor Splitting via Photothermal‐Catalytic Membrane Distillation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional MXene‐based membrane integrates photothermal evaporation and photocatalytic vapor splitting in a sweeping‐gas membrane distillation (PTC‐SGMD) platform, simultaneously generating freshwater and hydrogen. The SrTiO3/MX@PVDF interface leverages broad‐spectrum solar absorption, efficient heat/mass transfer, and gas–solid catalysis to ...

Reconfiguring Hierarchical Porous Architecture of 2D Metal Nanosheets for Multifunctional Triboelectric Nanogenerators

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A hierarchically porous copper nanosheet‐based triboelectric nanogenerator (HPC‐TENG) delivers superior output, long‐term stability, and multifunctionality through scalable solution processing and structural reconfiguration. Beyond energy harvesting, the platform exhibits robust EMI shielding and efficient Joule heating.

Hydrogel Thermostat Inspired by Photoprotective Foliage Using Latent and Radiative Heat Control

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Guided by Populus alba foliage, this hydrogel latent‐radiative thermostat (LRT) actively balances latent and radiative heat fluxes. An LRT switches solar reflectance, maintains high mid‐IR emissivity, and reversibly evaporates/regenerates water, while titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles toughen the film.

Influence of Micropillar Height Modulation on Droplet Evaporation and Wetting State Transitions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Controlling droplet evaporation dynamics is crucial across many fields. Here, it demonstrates laser‐fabricated polymer micropillar arrays with tailored height variations to regulate evaporation behavior. While all arrays exhibit superhydrophobic wetting, their distinct height profiles effectively slow evaporation and alter evaporation modes ...
