Light‐Programmed Localized Supersaturation Enables Ambient Aqueous Synthesis of Highly Crystalline Metal–Organic Frameworks

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
In the proposed model, a photoinduced nanoreactor uses Cu2O self‐photooxidation to generate localized supersaturation. A metastable supersaturation state first forms a shell, creating a spatially confined environment that restricts reactant exchange; continued Cu release then drives the local environment toward a labile regime that favors predominantly

A Thermoreversible Gelation Pathway to Plant Cuticle‐Inspired Biopolymer Aerogel Monoliths Based on Network‐Spherulitic Crystal Assemblies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
To address functionality limitations in plant‐based and industrially compostable polymer aerogels, this work introduces bio‐inspired aerogels with broadened functionality. Inspired by functional plant tissues, lightweight biopolymer aerogels based on exclusively stereocomplex crystals are fabricated, featuring hierarchically macro‐/meso‐porous ...

Influence of clay surfactants polarity on the crystallization and rheological behavior of nanocomposites of PDLLA [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials Research, 2018
The effect of clay hydrophobicity on the cold crystallization and rheological properties of nanocomposites of poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) was investigated. Crystallization was evaluated by DSC for isothermal and non-isothermal conditions.

Percolation‐Driven β‐Relaxation Enables Resonant Acceleration of Crystallization in Amorphous Phase‐Change Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mobile‐atom percolation underlying β‐relaxations fundamentally dictates the crystallization pathways of phase‐change materials. High‐frequency ultrasonic excitation dynamically modulates this critical mobility percolation network, substantially accelerating the crystallization process.

Directional Confinement Governed Ion Transport for Efficient Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Structural anisotropy provides an effective means to regulate ion transport in polymer electrolytes. Directionally aligned channels formed by freeze‐drying provide continuous pathways for ion migration, enhancing ion mobility and simultaneously improving the strain and blocking force of ionic actuators.

From Dark Photocatalysis to Photobattery‐Type Operation: A Re‐Functionalized Ti‐MOF for Solar Energy Storage

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
ReCl47‐bpy is developed as a solar‐rechargeable, Re‐functionalized two‐dimensional metal–organic framework (MOF) for light‐driven charge storage and dark utilization. Re–bipyridine sites stabilize photoinduced electrons, enabling two complementary configurations: a MOF suspension for long‐lived charge retention and dark H2 evolution, and a spin‐coated ...

Rubber‐Glass‐Crystal Triple Phase Transition in Polyacrylamide Hydrogels and Environment‐Adaptive Shape Memory Effect

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
By analyzing the thermal‐mechanical properties and molecular‐scale interactions in polyacrylamide (PAAM) hydrogels, this research demonstrates a rubber‐glass‐crystal phase transition under the combined stimuli of temperature and moisture. Because of these hybrid phase transitions, PAAM hydrogels exhibit shape memory behavior in thermal and moist ...

Electrically Induced Photonic Assemblies of Faceted ZIF‐8 Crystals Exhibiting Binary Angle‐Dependent Structural Color and Metamerism

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Electric fields drive dynamic photonic assemblies that reversibly generate structural color. By tuning nanoscale organization through controlled particle disorder, the presented system exhibits a unique binary color response, switching between blue and pink depending on viewing angle. Combined with metameric design, this allows for a two‐factor optical

Thermodynamics of Concomitant Charge‐Transfer, Antiferromagnetic, and Isostructural Phase Transitions in Barocaloric ACu3Fe4O12 Quadruple Perovskites

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A copper‐iron charge transfer instability drives concomitant electronic, magnetic, and isostructural phase transitions in ACu3Fe4O12${\rm ACu}_3{\rm Fe}_4{\rm O}_{12}$, with an inverse barocaloric effect. A minimal Landau theory ties these thermodynamic signatures together, revealing a pressure‐independent transition entropy with comparable charge and ...

Tunable Negative Thermal Expansion in Fe/Cr‐Substituted Nd2Co17 Compounds via Magnetoelastic Coupling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study achieves anisotropic thermal expansion tuning in Nd2(Co1‐xFex)17‐yCry compounds via a magnetoelastic strategy. Variable‐temperature synchrotron X‐ray diffraction reveals that increased Fe content induces switchable lattice responses. Compositional control reduces the volume expansion coefficient αV by 20% (x═0.7) and modulates TC (442–625 K),
