Closed‐Loop Radiative Cooling Mulch Upcycled From Agricultural Residues for Efficient Soil Heat–Water Stress Mitigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.

Dynamic Evolution‐Controlled Parabolic‐Shaped Microstructures for Ultra‐Black Surface via Self‐Assembled Microsphere Mask Etching

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A robust, substrate‐independent fabrication approach overcomes the spectral and geometric limitations of traditional stray‐light suppression. By combining ink spray‐coating with self‐assembled microsphere mask etching, this method produces parabolic‐shaped microstructures on diverse planar and curved engineering components.

Regulating Droplet Dynamics via Wormlike Micelle Networks: From Splash Suppression to Precise Confined Spreading

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As displayed in Graphical Abstract image.tif, a molecular‐design strategy precisely tailors high‐speed droplet dynamics through programmed surfactant co‐assembly. The structural transition into an entangled wormlike micelle network completely suppresses stochastic splashing on fibrous substrates.

Chlorine‐Functionalized Silane‐Modified Copper Electrocatalyst for Enhanced CO2 Reduction to Multi‐Carbon Products

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A chlorine‐functionalized silane modifier (CPTMS) is introduced to cooperatively regulate CO2 reduction to C2+ products on Cu‐based catalysts. Dual‐functional interface sequentially enhances CO2 activation, intermediates protonation and C─C coupling, delivering a 5‐fold increase in C2+ faradaic efficiency (FE, 75% vs.

Drop‐Location‐Insensitive Droplet‐Based Electricity Generator Using Polydimethylsiloxane Slippery Covalently Attached Liquid Coatings

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐
