Advanced Science, EarlyView.A flexible PDMS‐LATP polymer‐ceramic membrane creates lithium‐ion “superhighways” for rapid and selective extraction from complex brines. The amorphous PDMS matrix suppresses nonselective leakage and stabilizes the ceramic network, while LATP provides preferential Li+ conduction.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A transpiration‐inspired Janus nanofiber membrane creates a persistent dry‐wet interface that couples localized solar heating with hydration‐induced ion regulation. The asymmetric architecture sustains directional water and ion transport, suppresses salt accumulation, and enables simultaneous seawater evaporation and stable electricity generation ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Niobium nitride (NbN) broadband plasmonic metasurface absorbers provide an efficient platform for solar‐energy conversion through hot‐carrier injection. Quasi‐epitaxial NbN features a low work function of 4.0 eV, reducing the interfacial injection barrier and facilitating charge transfer into adjacent photocatalysts.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A transport‐matching framework is developed to evaluate brine‐stable 3D solar evaporators beyond evaporation rate alone. Using PVA/GNP porous evaporators as a model system, the study shows that stable brine evaporation requires balanced heat generation, liquid replenishment, salt redistribution, and vapor removal rather than maximum dry temperature or ...
