Droplet Electricity Generators With Maximized Energy Collection Zone Enabled by Aloe‐Inspired Midrib and Cuticle

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An Aloe‐pinspired droplet electricity generator (A‐DEG) overcomes the limited energy collection zone of conventional DEGs by guiding impact droplets through a channeling midrib and artificial cuticle. The channeling midrib induces uni‐directional droplet spreading, while the artificial cuticle on the midrib further reinforces this behavior through its ...

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Counterion‐Controlled Photocatalytic Doping of Organic Semiconductors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Counterion size is shown to actively control photocatalytic doping in organic semiconductors. Small anions suppress aggregation of acridinium photocatalysts, enhance electron transfer, and dramatically increase doping efficiency. This simple strategy enables conductivities up to 2000 S cm−1 in benchmark polymers, revealing counterions as a powerful yet
