A Scalable Double‐Sided Wet Etching Strategy for Large‐Area Mushroom‐Shaped Bionic Adhesives

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a scalable manufacturing strategy for high‐performance, large‐area, mushroom‐shaped bio‐inspired adhesives. Using a double‐sided wet etching process, the complex 3D metal molds are fabricated rapidly and controllably. The resulting adhesive structures exhibit strong, stable adhesion under various conditions, including atmosphere and ...

Anode‐Free Sodium Metal Batteries: From Materials Design to System‐Level Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Anode‐free sodium metal batteries hold no sodium reserve, so every inefficiency becomes permanent loss. Resolving the inventory into reversible, dead, and chemically bound fractions exposes what Coulombic efficiency hides. Practical 500‐cycle operation requires above 99.95%, a threshold few systems meet under lean electrolyte and high areal capacity ...
