Designing the Self‐Assembly of Disordered Materials Via Color Frustration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
What if disorder can be designed? This work introduces a strategy to self‐assemble amorphous materials by designing bonding rules for patchy particles that suppress crystallinity and promote frustration. The designer particles nucleate a network of dodecahedral cages from the liquid, yielding a novel equilibrium amorphous phase. This approach redefines

Valence and Site Engineering Enable Efficient Broadband Near‐Infrared Emission at 960 nm in Cr3+‐Activated Forsterite

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports a near‐infrared (NIR) luminescent material (Mg2SiO4:1.5%Cr,5%Li) with efficient (EQE = 48%) ultra‐broadband (FWHM ≈ 2413 cm−1 (226 nm)) NIR emission at 960 nm upon blue‐light excitation. This innovation addresses the low efficiency of long‐wavelength (λmax > 900 nm) NIR‐emitting materials due to the radiationless de‐activation and ...

Highly Stable All‐Sputtered Solid‐State Electrochromic Devices with Co‐Sputtered LiTaO3 Electrolyte Films for Smart Windows

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An electrochromic device (ECD) based on a LiTaO3 (LTO) solid electrolyte is developed with a magenetron sputtering system. The LTO solid electrolyte‐based ECD demonstrates outstanding long‐term stability (less than 12% degradation after 3000 cycles) and fast response times (coloring: 4.13 s, bleaching: 6.14 s).
