Coral‐Biomimetic Structured Organic Electro‐Oxidations With Exceptional High‐Current Catalytic Performance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A strategy for energy‐efficient hydrogen production coupled with biomass valorization via organic electrooxidation reactions is reported. A bio‐inspired multiscale coral‐like heterostructure catalyst delivers record‐breaking OEOR performance enabled by a dual‐copper synergistic Cu+/Cu2+–Ni mechanism, establishing a universal architectural and ...

Interfacial Salt Redistribution Enables Rapid Atmospheric Water Harvesting in a Biomimetic Multi‐Layer Hygroscopic Membrane

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic multi‐layer hygroscopic membrane redistributes salt toward an air‐accessible nanofiber interface, enabling rapid interfacial deliquescence while a brush‐like hydrogel promotes efficient liquid transport and storage. By decoupling vapor capture from bulk water storage, the membrane achieves fast sorption kinetics and enables rapid‐cycling ...

Ionically Counter‐Programmable Phase‐Separation of Superstable Star‐Biopolyamide Coacervates for Electrothermally‐Responsive Pseudosolid Smart Windows

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We develop bio‐based, star‐branched polyamides from itaconic acid and cadaverine with tunable lower critical solution temperature (LCST) transitions for dynamic solar modulation. Specific metal ion coordination with pyrrolidone moieties drives precise phase transitions via calcium‐induced salting‐in and sodium‐induced salting‐out mechanisms. Formulated

Toward Rational Design of Aqueous Battery Membranes Beyond the Selectivity‐Conductivity Trade‐Off

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review examines sulfonated membranes for redox flow batteries. It focuses on proton transport mechanism, membrane design, performance limits, optimization strategies, and the pathway from molecular design to membrane manufacturing. ABSTRACT Electrochemical energy‐storage systems increasingly require membranes that can simultaneously deliver fast ...

Porcupine‐Quill‐Inspired Shape‐Morphing Biointerfaces Disassemble Biofilms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A porcupine‐spine‐inspired dynamic offensive bio‐interface is developed for active biofilm disassembly. By coupling electrically driven nano‐dagger penetration with light‐triggered ROS generation, the surface overcomes the passive limitations of conventional mechano‐bactericidal topographies, achieving near‐complete biofilm eradication, strong ...

Semi‐Artificial Photosynthesis Enables Light‐Driven Biomanufacturing in Non‐Photosynthetic Bacteria

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A non‐invasive strategy exploits endogenous H2S metabolism in B. subtilis to drive in situ CdS biomineralization, enabling tight bio‐abiotic contact without genetic modification. Light harvested by the biomineralized nanoparticles powers NADPH regeneration, elevating 2’‐fucosyllactose and surfactin titres two‐ to three‐fold.

Long‐Lifespan Polyorganosiloxane‐Based Silicone Evaporator for High‐Efficiency Seawater Desalination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional evaporators suffer from salt crystallization and degradation. We design a white polyorganosiloxane evaporator with a reflector, achieving 4.344 kg m−2 h−1 at 1 sun in 3.5 wt.% NaCl. It shows over 53‑day cycling stability and 197‑day seawater resistance.

Activation‐Induced Turbostratic Ordering in pDCPD‐Derived Hard Carbon Enables Stable Carbonate‐Based Sodium‐Ion Storage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hard carbon derived from templated poly(dicyclopentadiene) as anode for sodium–ion batteries was engineered through carbonization and second‐step CO2${\rm CO}_2$ activation. High‐temperature carbonization and activation increased local ordering while reducing defects without inducing structural fracture.
