Dimensionality‐Driven Interfacial Electronic Coupling in Carbon‐Supported Gd‐CuO Catalysts for Selective CO2 Electroreduction to Ethylene

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The 2D carbon‐supported Gd–CuO exhibits strong interfacial electronic coupling, abundant oxygen vacancies, and highly exposed active sites, enabling efficient CO enrichment and C─C coupling toward selective and durable CO2‐to‐C2H4 conversion. ABSTRACT Copper‐based catalysts are promising for electrochemical CO2 reduction toward value‐added chemicals ...

Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.

Electron‐Deficient Linkers Enhance H2O2 Electrosynthesis in Covalent Organic Frameworks

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Linker π‐conjugation modulates the electronic state of the Ni–N4 centers and their interaction with the key *OOH intermediate while preserving the primary coordination motif. NiPc‐PTDA delivers an H2O2 selectivity of 92% and a production rate of 34.8 mol gcat−1 h−1, highlighting linker electronic properties as a molecular design parameter for NiPc ...

Desert Plant Inspired Hierarchical Nanofibrous Membranes for Integrated Solar Desalination and Heavy Metal Remediation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An Alhagi maurorum inspired hierarchical composite membrane (NFCu) was developed by integrating heavy metal remediation and solar‐driven interfacial evaporation in a single platform. Beyond the photothermal effect, a localized photocatalytic process is realized on the CuO surface, deepening the mechanistic understanding of light–matter–water ...

Decoupling the Size and Loading Effects in Silver Nanoparticles for Efficient Paired Carbon Dioxide and Formaldehyde Electrolysis

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We investigate size‐dependent CO selectivity on Ag nanoparticles, where optimized Ag loading achieves nearly 100% Faradaic Efficiency for CO at −100 mA·cm−2. In situ SERS and XPS reveal the crucial role of optimized loading in catalytic performance. The Ag/C catalyst further exhibits bifunctional activity, enabling efficient electrolysis of CO2 and ...

Covalent Functionalization of 2D Semiconductors: A Roadmap to Advanced Electronic Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This Review presents recent advances in the covalent functionalization strategies for two‐dimensional semiconductors and their implementation in modern technologies. Layered materials are modified through diverse molecular chemistries (e.g., thiols, diazonium salts, alkyl halides, and electron‐deficient species) to tailor their surface properties ...

Effects of LLZO Microstructure Porosity, LLZO/Li‐Metal Interfacial Polarization Resistance, and Applied Areal Current Density on Li‐Metal Dendrite Formation in LLZO Bilayer Symmetric Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The effects of solid‐state electrolyte architecture and electrolyte/electrode interfacial polarization resistance on Critical Current Density and the risks for “interfacial” and “internal” Li‐metal dendrite formation were investigated in simulations of FIB‐reconstructed porous‐dense Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) “bilayers”, providing insight for full cells ...

Nitride MXenes Beyond Carbides: Bridging the Gap Between Computational Prediction and Experimental Realization

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Nitride MXenes remain constrained by a persistent gap between computational prediction and experimental realization. This Review identifies the thermodynamic, kinetic, and chemical barriers limiting their synthesis, critically evaluates emerging fabrication routes, and proposes a multidimensional computational‐experimental framework to accelerate the ...

Structure‐Property Relationships in Catecholamine Coatings for Broad Surface Functionalization

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs), six catecholamine molecules with different molecular structure were systematically characterized and compared based on their ability to form homogeneous, reactive coatings. Highlighting candidates capable of balancing coating properties of interest, their successful use as primer layers for organic and ...
