Azobenzene's Cross‐Scale Optics and Photonics: Molecular Photoswitching, Mesoscopic Material Motions, and Adaptive Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Azobenzene photoswitches translate molecular‐scale E/Z photoisomerization into macroscopic material responses and device‐level photonic functions. This Review highlights how azobenzene research has evolved from molecular photochemistry to photoalignment, mass migration, photomechanics, and heat release, ultimately enabling holography, reconfigurable ...

Selective Electrochemical NOx Reduction to N2 for Sustainable Ammonia Energy Systems

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Selective electrochemical NOx reduction to N2 offers a promising route to mitigate combustion‐derived NOx emissions in ammonia energy systems. This Perspective links *NO‐mediated pathways, the key intermediate role of N2O, and low‐coverage limitations to the origins of limited N2 selectivity, establishing tandem catalysis and microenvironment ...
