Liquid Metals as Initiators of Free‐Radical Polymerization of Hydrogels: A Perspective

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Gallium‐based liquid metals initiate free radical polymerization to form hydrogels without the use of toxic molecular initiators. In addition to initiating polymerization, they can act as crosslinkers, yielding softer, more extensible, and tougher hydrogels than those formed with conventional initiators.

Deciphering the Interplay Between Wetting and Chemo‐Mechanical Fracture in Lithium‐Ion Battery Cathode Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The fundamental intricate couplings between electrolyte wetting and fracture evolution are investigated in large single‐crystal V2O5 samples using both experimental techniques and simulations. Both approaches reveal consistent fracture patterns and lithium distribution concentration maps influenced by the wetting mechanism.

Design of Efficient and Mechanically Robust Anion Exchange Membrane for Water Electrolysis Achieved by Chemically Crosslinked Elastomers using Polyfluorene‐Based Conjugated Polymers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
High‐performance SEBS‐PFB AEM is developed by crosslinking SEBS‐amine with polyfluorene‐based crosslinker containing benzene spacer. With the superior electrochemical and mechanical properties, SEBS‐PFB enabled an AEMWE single cell to achieve a high current density of 14.0 A cm−2 at 2.0 V and 80 °C in 1 m KOH, using a PtRu/C cathode and Ni2Fe anode ...

Quantifying Spin Defect Density in hBN via Raman and Photoluminescence Analysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An all‐optical method is presented for quantifying the density of boron vacancy spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). By correlating Raman and photoluminescence signals with irradiation fluence, defect‐induced Raman modes are identified and established an relationship linking optical signatures to absolute defect densities. This enables direct
