Removing Homocoupling Defects in Alkoxy/Alkyl‐PBTTT Enhances Polymer:Fullerene Co‐Crystal Formation and Stability

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
PBTTT‐OR‐R, a C14‐alkoxy/alkyl‐PBTTT polymer derivative, is of substantial interest for optoelectronics due to its specific fullerene intercalation behavior and enhanced charge‐transfer absorption. Comparing this polymer with (S) and without (O) homocoupling defects reveals that PBTTT‐OR‐R(O) forms stable co‐crystals with PC61BM, while PBTTT‐OR‐R(S ...

Facile Synthesis of CuxS Electrocatalysts for CO2 Conversion into Formate and Study of Relations Between Cu and S with the Selectivity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Copper sulfide based electrocatalysts for CO2 conversion are selective for production of formate as major product. Transformations under electrochemical conditions result in significant sulfur loss, and this study examines the nature of how persistent, residual sulfur (observed as surface SO42– species and S dissolved in the electrolyte) can sustain ...

Temperature‐Induced Effects on Wet‐Spun Artificial Spider Silk Fibers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Silk‐based materials are valued for their strength and flexibility, but temperature effects on their mechanical properties are understudied. This study examines the properties of artificial silk fibers from −80 to +120 °C. Results show maintained strength at high temperatures and increased strength at low temperatures. Abstract Silk‐based materials are

A Physically‐Based Machine Learning Approach Inspires an Analytical Model for Spider Silk Supercontraction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Starting from an experimental database, a physically‐based machine learning approach is used to gain new insights into spider silk supercontraction. These insights inspire a microstructure‐based analytical model that quantitatively predicts supercontraction based on protein primary structure properties. New experiments to further elucidate the physical

Hierarchically Engineered Triple‐Defensive Antifouling Coating with Well‐Regulated Structure for Enhanced Wastewater Treatment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by shark skin, which has a hydrophilic “denticle layer” and a low surface energy “mucus layer,” a triple‐defense antifouling coating is developed. This coating features a robust hydrophilic catalytic nanoparticle layer overlaid with dispersed hydrophobic perfluoro‐silane domains, optimizing fouling resistance, release, and degradation for ...
