Molecular‐Level Modulation of Proton Transport via Electron‐Proton Coupling in Bio‐p‐n Junctions

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
We developed a pH‐sensing device capable of operating in biological environments. A biohybrid p–n junction was constructed using bacteriorhodopsin (bR) and the photoconductive polymer poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT). Under light illumination, the photocurrent exhibits distinct transitions across various pH gradients, demonstrating the system's high ...

3D Knitted Interfacial Solar Steam Generator for High‐Efficiency and Long‐Term Seawater Desalination

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The hydrophobic bottom provides buoyancy to keep the evaporator floating, and directional vertical spacer yarn supplies sufficient water. The knitted photothermal layer efficiently converts solar energy via multiple light reflections. The Marangoni effect induced by edge yarn accelerates the backflow of salt ions, preventing salt accumulation in the ...
