Local Thermal Conductivity Patterning in Rotating Lattice Crystals of Anisotropic Sb2S3
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Microscale control of thermal conductivity in Sb2S3 is demonstrated via laser‐induced rotating lattice crystals. Thermal conductivity imaging reveals marked thermal transport anisotropy, with the c axis featuring amorphous‐like transport, whereas in‐plane directions (a, b) exhibit 3.5x and 1.7x larger thermal conductivity.

Photo‐Switching Thermal and Lithium‐Ion Conductivity in Azobenzene Polymers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Light‐responsive azobenzene polymers control thermal and ionic transport simultaneously through structural transitions. UV illumination disrupts π–π stacking, converting crystalline trans states to amorphous cis configurations. Thermal conductivity drops from 0.45 to 0.15 W·m−1·K−1 while Li+ diffusivity increases 100 fold. This dual transport switching
