Nano‐Patterned CuO Nanowire Nanogap Hydrogen Gas Sensor with Voids
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.Sub‐5‐ppb hydrogen (H2) detection and sub‐10‐s response and recovery times are achieved based on nano‐patterned polycrystalline CuO nanowires nanogap gas sensors with voids using electron‐beam lithography and unique annealing processes. Pre‐H2 annealing, void‐generating oxidation, and downscaled nanogap electrodes are key to improving the sensing ...

Wetting of Surface Grafted Hydrophilic‐b‐Hydrophobic Block Copolymer Brushes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The wetting properties of surface grafted diblock copolymer brushes are influenced by the thickness of the hydrophilic bottom block and the hydrophobic top block. The surface adapts in presence of water and the contact angles of the bottom block shine through. Abstract The wetting of diblock copolymer brushes by water is studied.

Print‐and‐Plate Architected Electrodes for Electrochemical Transformations Under Flow
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Typical flow cell electrodes are composed of stochastic porous carbon, limiting understanding of electrode structure‐performance relationships. This work describes an approach, termed “print‐and‐plate,” to prepare porous electrodes by direct ink writing followed by conformal metal coating.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The separation of Helium gas from natural gas is challenging but highly important. MIL‐116(Ga), a “non‐porous” metal–organic framework is used as a molecular sieve to separate He from CH4. Druse‐like MIL‐116(Ga) particles are integrated into polysulfone mixed matrix membranes.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study demonstrates the use of a low‐cost 3D printing technique to prepare a large‐area PVDF‐FAPbI3 composite dielectric film for flexible TENG application. The δ→α phase transformation of the FAPbI3 nanofillers has significantly improved the β‐phase content, morphology, and dielectric properties of the PVDF film.

Boosting Polysulfide Conversion on Fe‐Doped Nickel Diselenide Toward Robust Lithium–Sulfur Batteries
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work reports an advanced functional material based on Fe‐doped nickel diselenides toward robust lithium–sulfur batteries, demonstrating that Fe‐rich cores and surface doping enhance the density of states at the Fermi level and introduce unpaired electrons for the improvement of the LiPS adsorption and catalytic conversion. Abstract Sulfur offers a

Optical Control of Ferroelectric Imprint in BiFeO3
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Above‐bandgap irradiation at room temperature enables on‐demand optical control of defect‐driven built‐in electric fields in BiFeO₃ thin films, fabricated via scalable, chemical spray pyrolysis. These fields, otherwise “frozen‐in,” can cause severe device degradation, including non‐switchable polarization, dead layers near interfaces, and polarization ...
