Disordered Rocksalts as High‐Energy and Earth‐Abundant Li‐Ion Cathodes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Disordered rocksalts with lithium excess (DRX) offer a new direction in Li‐ion cathode design beyond conventional Ni‐ and Co‐based materials. This review highlights the design principles, synthesis strategies, and performance optimization of DRX oxides and oxyfluorides for energy‐dense, sustainable batteries using Earth‐abundant transition metals and ...

Stiffening Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Liquid Crystal Inclusions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Incorporation of low molecular weight liquid crystals (LC) into liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) leads to a significant increase in their stiffness and output work density. Such remarkable stiffening is attributed to nanoscale phase‐separation and the formation of induced‐smectic domains in polydomain and monodomain LC‐LCEs, respectively.

Supramolecular Interface Engineering via Interdiffusion for Reusable and Dismantlable Polymer Adhesion

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Reversible adhesion via host–guest complex formation at the polymer interface is achieved by externally controlling the complexation through applied stimuli. Neutron reflectometry analysis of the adhesion interface revealed that the presence of host–guest complexes hinders the polymer interdiffusion by despite promoting adhesion strength.

Anomalous X-ray diffraction studies of ion transport in K+ channels

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The number of K+ occupied binding sites in the selectivity filter of potassium ion channels is still under debate. Here, the authors collect diffraction data on the K+ selective NaK channel NaK2K at a wavelength of 3.35 Å, close to the K absorption edge,

Altermagnetic Band Splitting in 10 nm Epitaxial CrSb Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Thin film altermagnets are attractive for potential spintronic applications. How thin can we make an altermagnet before quantum confinement perturbs the distinctive band structure? This paper uses angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy to show that the canonical g‐wave altermagnet, NiAs‐type CrSb, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, preserves its ...
