Highly Scalable, Raspberry‐Like Microbeads with Nano‐/Micro‐Confined Hybrid Hydrogel Desiccants for Rapid Atmospheric Water Harvesting

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable nano‐/micro‐confinement strategy is developed, where polyacrylamide (PAM)‐LiCl hybrid desiccants are confined within hollow nanoparticles (HNPs) and assembled into raspberry‐like microbeads. The beads have a hydrogel‐rich core and an NP‐rich shell for fast absorption and desorption, releasing water 13.6 L kg⁻¹ day⁻¹.

Atmospheric Doping of Stretchable Polymer Semiconductors for Skin Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An atmospheric doping system using oxygen molecules in air as dopants is introduced for stretchable polymer semiconductors. The chemisorbed oxygen molecules act as acceptor, lead to increase not only the hole concentration of the semiconductor film over two orders of magnitude (3.37 × 1017 cm−3) but also electrical properties of the field‐effect ...

Electric Propulsion for Manned Mars Exploration [PDF]

open access: yes
Advanced high-power electric propulsion systems can significantly enhance piloted Mars missions. An increase in the science payload delivered to Mars and the reduction of the total Earth-departure mass are the major system-level benefits of electric ...

Chemo‐Mechanical Coupling in Hydrogels: Dynamics in the Diffusion‐Limited Regime

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A time‐dependent continuum model is developed to capture the transient swelling dynamics of chemo‐mechanical hydrogels. By coupling chemical reactions, solvent transport, and polymer deformation, volume phase transitions, reaction kinetics, and transient mechanical instabilities are analyzed.
