Controlling Nanoscale Heat With Optically Coupled Plasmonic Systems

Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 12, 25 June 2026.
Optical coupling in plasmonic nanostructures is shown to enable precise spatiotemporal control of nanoscale heat. By engineering near‐field interactions in dimers, trimers, and switchable clusters, thermal energy is asymmetrically distributed, focused into sub‐diffraction volumes, or turned on/off via structural reconfiguration. These design principles

A Proof of Principle for the Phase‐Dependent Electrocatalytic Activity of NiTi Shape Memory Alloys for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

ChemElectroChem, Volume 13, Issue 12, 17 June 2026.
We compare martensitic (Ni50Ti50) and austenitic (Ni51.2Ti48.8) NiTi shape memory alloys at room temperature as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) anodes, demonstrating that phase‐dependent microstructure governs electronic conductivity, surface roughness, and wettability.

Enhanced Terahertz Thermoelectricity Via Engineered Van Hove Singularities and Nernst Effect in Moiré Superlattices

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 50, 22 June 2026.
Moiré band engineering in graphene/hexagonal boron nitride–based superlattices unlocks van Hove singularities (VHSs) for terahertz (THz) optoelectronics. Tuning the Fermi level near these singularities, associated with secondary neutrality points (SNPs), enhances the photothermoelectric response.

Selenium‐Incorporated Polymerized Nonfullerene Acceptors/SWCNT Composites with Polymer‐Assisted n‐Doping for High‐Performance Organic Thermoelectrics

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 46, 8 June 2026.
Selenium‐incorporated polymerized nonfullerene acceptor PCB2Se forms a strong supramolecular complex with SWCNTs, enabling a record‐high zT of 0.29. Sequential N‐DMBI doping, mediated through a polymer‐assisted electron‐transfer pathway, successfully converts the PCB2Se/SWCNT composite into an efficient n‐type material with an impressive power factor ...

Unlocking Multi‐Valley Energy Pockets and Interface‐Induced Phonon Filtering in InSb Thermoelectrics by Reaction‐Driven Interface Engineering

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 47, 11 June 2026.
InSb, a narrow‐bandgap semiconductor with high carrier mobility, is promising for thermoelectric energy conversion but suffers from high lattice thermal conductivity and strong bipolar conduction. Here, in situ interface engineering using Co2O3 nanoprecursors forms hierarchical CoSbx/In2O3/CoSb3 heterostructures that enhance phonon scattering and ...

How the Carrier Mobility and Seebeck Coefficient of Doped Semiconducting Polymers Are Controlled by Counterion Interactions and Mesoscale Order

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 47, 11 June 2026.
Conventional doping of P3HT with F4TCNQ results in poor charge transport. However, when F4TCNQ is exchanged with LiTFSI, the transport characteristics are greatly enhanced. We find the increase in charge transport is directly related to an increase in the mesoscale ordering of P3HT, resulting in longer and better‐connected transport pathways.

Large Transverse Thermoelectric Effect in Weyl Semimetal TaIrTe4 Engineered for Photodetection

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 50, 22 June 2026.
This experimental work shows that the anomalous scanning photocurrent response patterns of the Weyl semimetal TaIrTe4${\rm TaIrTe}_4$ under visible and long‐wave infrared illumination are due to a large transverse thermoelectric response of the material.
