Bioelectrochemically Powered Out‐of‐Equilibrium Hydrogels Enable Feedback‐Regulated Functions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A bioelectrochemically powered hydrogel operates far from equilibrium via an antagonistic redox cycle that regulates disulfide exchange within a polyrotaxane network. Coupling electrochemical mediator cycling with enzymatic feedback enables dynamic control of hydrogel mechanics and transport properties, driving glucose‐responsive insulin release with ...

Liquid‐Metal Interfacial Chemistry for Crystal and Defect Engineering in Two‐Dimensional Post‐Transition‐Metal Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Liquid‐metal interfaces provide dynamic reaction environments in which crystal growth, composition, and defect formation are intrinsically coupled. This Review reveals how interfacial oxidation, alloy thermodynamics, elemental migration, atmosphere, and processing govern defects in 2D post‐transition‐metal materials, and how these defects can be ...

Molecular Electrocatalysis Coupled With a Palladium Membrane Reactor Affords Selective Nitrogen Reduction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A palladium membrane reactor delivers active hydrogen to homogeneous nickel terpyridine catalysts, which then selectively hydrogenate dinitrogen to ammonia. ABSTRACT Ammonia production is a cornerstone of modern industry and society, yet the conventional Haber–Bosch process accounts for nearly 2% of the global CO2 emissions. A promising and potentially

Interfacial Salt Redistribution Enables Rapid Atmospheric Water Harvesting in a Biomimetic Multi‐Layer Hygroscopic Membrane

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic multi‐layer hygroscopic membrane redistributes salt toward an air‐accessible nanofiber interface, enabling rapid interfacial deliquescence while a brush‐like hydrogel promotes efficient liquid transport and storage. By decoupling vapor capture from bulk water storage, the membrane achieves fast sorption kinetics and enables rapid‐cycling ...

From Materials to Systems: Challenges and Solutions for Fast‐Charge/Discharge Na‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This review systematically analyzes the key characteristics limiting the fast‐charge/discharge capability of Na‐ion batteries (SIBs) from a multi‐scale perspective encompassing electrode materials, the electrode‐electrolyte interface, and the system. Furthermore, it presents practical solution strategies for the fundamental issues arising at each scale,

New public management and management changes in Dutch local government: some recent experiences and future topics [PDF]

open access: yes
Since about 1985, Dutch municipalities and provinces, i.e. local government, initiated many reforms and change projects in the field of their management control, which are lumped together here as ?management changes?.
