Antifouling Surface‐Attached Hydrogel Nanocoatings Redefined: Green Solvent‐Based, Degradable, and High‐Performance Protection Against Foulants

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
An ultrathin surface‐attached hydrogel coating is introduced that, unlike the best antifouling coatings so far, consists of hydrophilic, non‐charged, green solvent‐based monomers. It effectively renders the surfaces of medical devices stealth toward proteins, a clinical strain of MRSA and blood while offering on‐demand degradability to regenerate the ...

Classification and Characterization Methods for Heterojunctions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Currently, there is no unified standard for the classification and nomenclature of heterojunctions. To address this issue, this article systematically summarizes and standardizes the classification and naming rules for heterojunctions. Furthermore, it provides a clear elucidation of the differences in photogenerated carrier behavior among O–scheme, Z ...

Direct Ink Writing of Carbon‐Based Electrofluids for Soft Electrical Component Manufacturing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work explores the manufacturing of Electrofluids (EFs), conductive particle suspensions that flow while maintaining conductivity, for soft electrical components. Using Direct Ink Writing (DIW), patterned EFs achieve enhanced performance, including a 800% sensitivity boost in strain gauges. Through rheological studies, a printability map is created

Machine Learning‐Driven Multi‐Objective Optimization of Microchannel Reactors for CO₂ Conversion

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel method that combines CFD, RSM, and ML to improve a microreactor's performance utilizing the Sabatier reaction. A range of ML models is assessed, and the best one is selected to predict optimal reactor conditions. ML shows the ability to predict performance in just milliseconds, leading to a decrease in computational time ...

Facile Functionalization of Separator with an Amino Acid to Boost Li–S Battery Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a viable bio‐approach to functionalize conventional separators using leucine‐polyacrylic acid (Leu‐PAA) via the simple soaking method. This strategy synergistically improves polysulfide trapping, regulates lithium‐ion flux, and enhances thermal and mechanical stability, leading to excellent cycling stability.
