A Multifunctional Ionograsper Enabling Ion‐Redistribution Proximity Sensing and Structural‐Reconfiguration‐Driven Bidirectional Actuation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A solid‐state ionic actuator integrates sensing, actuation, and memory within one material. A brief UV pulse induces long‐lasting deformation via coupled network rearrangement, dehydration, and rehydration, while ionic redistribution enables self‐powered sensing, supporting multifunctional, energy‐efficient soft robotic functions without continuous ...

Spectral Selective and Low‐Noise Thin‐Film Organic Photodetectors Enabled by Electric‐Field Engineering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Molecular doping redistributes the internal electric field in organic photodetectors, providing a new degree of freedom to spatially control carrier transport and collection. Simulations and experiments reveal distinct transport pathways for injected and photogenerated carriers, enabling low dark current under reverse bias and wavelength‐selective ...

Photo-thermoresponsive polypyrrole-crosslinked single-chain nanoparticles for photothermal therapy

Communications Chemistry
Irradiating a chromophore allows cancer diagnostics by photoacoustic (PA) imaging, but also causes transformation of light into thermal energy and so enables therapy by photothermal effects.

Laser‐Induced Local De‐Doping in Organic Semiconductors

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The polymer PBTTT‐C14 doped with the small molecule acceptor F4TCNQ is considered as a benchmark material system. Mask‐free, microscale patterning of the doping level via laser‐induced heating and sublimation of dopant molecules is shown. Controlling laser irradiance and swath spacing allows dopant level control with laser‐limited resolution, opening ...
