Habitat‐Specific Design Strategies for Untethered Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Habitat shapes the design of untethered soft robots. Across land, water, air, and living tissues, environmental constraints govern viable combinations of compliant structures, actuation mechanisms, and energy delivery. This review connects these constraints with robotic performance and identifies design principles for advancing adaptable, durable, and ...

Solution‐Shearing of Highly Smooth Ion‐Gel Thin Films: Facilitating the Deposition of Organic Semiconductors for Ion‐Gated Organic Field Effect Transistors

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, Volume 11, Issue 6, May 2025.
A straightforward method is introduced to produce ion‐gel films with very low surface roughness by employing a solution‐shearing coating process. These ion‐gel films permit the growth of crystalline thin films of various small molecule organic semiconductor molecules directly on top of the ion‐gel layer, thereby enabling “inverted” small molecule ...

Separating Hydrogen Evolution From Electroplating in Zn Metal Batteries Using Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Operando SECM decouples hydrogen evolution from other degradation pathways in Zn metal batteries by quantifying its contribution during Zn electrodeposition. Although HER is shown to account for only a minor fraction of the irreversible charge loss, it remains a key indicator of interfacial evolution and by‐product formation governing cycling ...

Multifunctional Matrix‐Activated Electrodes Enabling Efficient Proton Transport and Durable Low‐Pt Operation for High‐Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a CeHP‐enabled multifunctional matrix‐activated electrode (MME) for high‐temperature PEM fuel cells, forming an electrochemically and mechanically functional matrix within the catalyst layer. The design increases peak power density by 38% and reduces voltage decay by 62% at 240 °C, while using only 40% of the Pt loading of a ...

Hybrid Two‐Step Inkjet Printing and Dip‐Coating Enable Scalable 30%‐Efficient Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Adopting a scalable hybrid two‐step deposition process route, textured perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells achieve over 30% power‐conversion efficiency. The process route replaces all non‐scalable spin‐coating steps, including organic precursor deposition, self‐assembled monolayer formation, and passivation layer deposition, with scalable techniques ...

Model predictive control with inline parameter adaptation for direct crystal growth rate regulation

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In batch cooling crystallization, many interactive factors, including supersaturation, reactor dimensions, and operating conditions, govern crystal growth and significantly influence product properties. Variables such as temperature or refractive index are used as surrogate control variables but have limitations in capturing growth rate ...

In Situ Contact Angle Measurement for Autonomous Spin Coating in Self‐Driving Labs

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A vision‐based add‐on transforms commercial spin coaters into autonomous modules of Self‐Driving Labs. Combining a width‐scaled U‐Net with classical geometric analysis, the system simultaneously measures contact angles and estimates substrate pose using a single camera.

Sidechain Modulation of Responsive Metal‐Organic Framework Pore Chirality for Enhanced Enantioseparation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
[Zn2(L‐ValPyr)2] is a chiral and flexible metal‐organic framework that places the isopropyl sidechains of L‐valine inside the pores, creating accessible space in the shape of a three‐blade propeller. The framework adapts its structure to position the substituted aromatic guests in its peripheral pockets through favorable interactions with the isopropyl

Lab‐Scale Fabrication Process Selection for Soft Robotics: Benchmarking, Tradeoffs, and Guidelines for Formative Manufacturing of Soft Silicone Components

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabrication shapes soft robot performance, but benchmarking data and selection guidelines remain scarce. We fabricate silicone actuators using two molding techniques and three mold types, characterizing them with cycle testing, microscopy, profilometry, and 3D imaging. Applying our lab‐scale, soft robotics‐specific fabrication evaluation criteria shows
