PTFE‐Activated Graphene Overcomes Dispersion Challenges for Scalable Solvent‐Free Fabrication of Ultra‐Thick, High‐Performance Cathodes in Lithium Metal Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
PTFE nanoparticle–anchored rGO (rGO@PTFE) for scalable solvent‐free fabrication of ultra‐thick, high‐density cathodes, achieving high conductivity (9.55 S cm−1), lithium transference (0.73), and improved wettability, is developed. The resulting cathode delivers 15.2 mAh cm−2 areal and 563 mAh cm−3 volumetric capacities, with full cells exhibiting 637 ...

Control of Polarization and Polar Helicity in BiFeO3 by Epitaxial Strain and Interfacial Chemistry

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In BiFeO3 thin films, the interplay of interfacial chemistry, electrostatics, and epitaxial strain is engineered to stabilize homohelicity in polarization textures at the domain scale. The synergistic use of a Bi2O2‐terminated Aurivillius buffer layer and a highly anisotropic compressive epitaxial strain offers new routes to control the polar‐texture ...

Fluoride‐Free Adhesives for Low Surface Energy Fluorinated Substrates

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A universal, fluoride‐free adhesive achieves a record 4.91 MPa bond strength on PTFE by leveraging amine/amide dipole–dipole interactions, without fluorinated components. This sustainable strategy overcomes the environmental and performance limits of PFAS‐based adhesives, enabling robust, eco‐conscious bonding across diverse materials.

An Ionic Gelation Powder for Ultrafast Hemostasis and Accelerated Wound Healing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An ultrafast ionic gelation‐activated hemostatic powder (AGCL) forms a hydrogel within ≈1 s upon contact with blood‐derived calcium ions. The AGCL powder enables rapid hemorrhage control, strong tissue adhesion, and enhanced healing. The powder's pre‐crosslinked polymer network ensures high blood uptake and stability, offering effective treatment for ...
