Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A multifunctional MXene‐based membrane integrates photothermal evaporation and photocatalytic vapor splitting in a sweeping‐gas membrane distillation (PTC‐SGMD) platform, simultaneously generating freshwater and hydrogen. The SrTiO3/MX@PVDF interface leverages broad‐spectrum solar absorption, efficient heat/mass transfer, and gas–solid catalysis to ...

Spectral Tuning of Hyperbolic Shear Polaritons in Monoclinic Gallium Oxide via Isotopic Substitution
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Spectral tuning of highly directional hyperbolic shear polaritons is realized via isotopic substitution of 16O to 18O in monoclinic β$\beta$‐phase gallium oxide. A red‐shift of almost 40 cm−1 is experimentally demonstrated with near‐field imaging, corroborated by the permittivity change extracted from far‐field experiments and density functional theory.

Asymmetry of the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in BaTiO3
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Phase transitions are typically assumed to behave identically in forward and reverse. This work shows that in the ferroelectric material barium titanate this is not true: heating drives an abrupt, first‐order jump, while cooling gives a smooth, continuous change.
