Drop‐Location‐Insensitive Droplet‐Based Electricity Generator Using Polydimethylsiloxane Slippery Covalently Attached Liquid Coatings

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐

Structural Control Over Bicontinuous Emulsions from Solvent‐Transfer Induced Phase Separation Through Nanoparticle Loading

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The nanoparticle loading enables effective control over the liquid domain size in bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gels (bijels) produced through solvent‐transfer induced phase separation (STrIPS). The relationship between the nanoparticle loading and domain size profiles in STrIPS bijels is resolved through confocal microscopy and explained ...

Facile Synthesis of Ultra-Small Silver Nanoparticles Stabilized on Carbon Nanospheres for the Etherification of Silanes

Nanomaterials
The dehydrocoupling reaction between alcohols and hydrosilanes is considered to be one of the most atom-economical ways to produce Si–O coupling compounds because its byproduct is only hydrogen (H2), which make it extremely environmentally friendly.

Developing Soft Interconnected Microchannel Network for 2D Skin‐Like Actuator

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A soft interconnected network of microchannels is proposed to develop new pneumatic actuators for future bio‐inspired soft robots. Simultaneous stimulation of this network generates regional asymmetric strains in walls of microchannels whose interaction across the entire surface leads to bending curvatures in multidimensions.

Engineering Morphological Anisotropy to Control the In Vivo Transport Dynamics, Clearance, and Biodistribution of Silica Nanocarriers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Morphological anisotropy directs the in vivo transport under physiological flow and clearance of silica nanocarriers. Increasing anisotropy reduces cellular uptake, suppresses hepatic and splenic sequestration, and prolongs systemic circulation by steering particles toward the central flow core.

Bio‐Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rain‐induced erosion of the wind turbine blade leading edge poses a critical challenge to maintenance and operation. Here, we propose a bio‐inspired approach for erosion protection utilising a platelet‐reinforced polyurethane coating with a graded through‐thickness architecture.

NiH‐Catalyzed Enantio‐ and Regioselective Hydroselenylation of Unactivated Alkenes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nickel‐hydride‐catalyzed enantio‐ and regioselective hydroselenylation of unactivated alkenes provides access to chiral organoselenium compounds. Enantiodetermining Ni–H insertion followed by single‐electron diselenide activation generates selenyl radical.

(aminoalkoxy)silanes

, 1970
A number of vinyl- and phenyl(aminoalkoxy)silanes have been synthesised by silylation of OH group of alkanolamines with vinyl- and phenyltriethoxysilanes in the presence of metallic sodium.
