Highly Sensitive SnS₂/rGO-Based Gas Sensor for Detecting Chemical Warfare Agents at Room Temperature: A Theoretical Study Based on First-Principles Calculations

Crystals
Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are known as poor man’s bombs because of their small lethal dose, cheapness, and ease of production. Therefore, the highly sensitive and rapid detection of CWAs at room temperature (RT = 25 °C) is essential.

Synthesis, in vitro screening and molecular docking of isoquinolinium-5-carbaldoximes as acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase reactivators

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2020
The series of symmetrical and unsymmetrical isoquinolinium-5-carbaldoximes was designed and prepared for cholinesterase reactivation purposes. The novel compounds were evaluated for intrinsic acetylcholinesterase (AChE) or butyrylcholinesterase (BChE ...

A Strong and Water‐Retaining Biomass Adhesive Inspired by Tofu

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 26, June 26, 2025.
Drawing inspiration from the formation mechanism of the traditional food tofu, a strong and water‐retaining adhesive is designed using the soybean meal (SM) oxidized by glucose oxidase (GOx) and calcium sulfate oligomer (CSO). This design strategy effectively addresses the conflicting requirements of water‐resistant bonding strength and water retention

Strain Partitioning at the Oxide Interface for the Isothermal Phase Transition in Freestanding Tri‐Layers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The metal–insulator transition temperature (TMI) is continuously tuned by the systematic change of relative thickness in VO2 and TiO2 films (tVO2/tTiO2${t_{{\mathrm{V}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}/{t_{{\mathrm{Ti}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$) in freestanding TiO2/VO2/TiO2 tri‐layers.

Fast Neutron Detector Based on Hybrid 2D Perovskite Thin Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents the direct detection of fast neutrons using flexible hybrid 2D perovskite (PEA2PbBr4) thin‐film detectors. Thanks to their high low‐Z elements content and good charge transport, these materials enable efficient neutron detection. The thin film configuration allowed the operation at low voltage, and offer scalability, flexibility, and

Understanding and Addressing the Performance Asymmetry Issue in Semitransparent Laminated Organic Photovoltaic Devices

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work addresses the challenge of current–voltage asymmetry in scalable laminated semitransparent organic photovoltaics (OPVs) for indoor applications. Vertical stratification of materials is shown to create an energy barrier, leading to performance differences under different illumination directions.
