Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

Understanding and Designing Phase Change Materials: Insights From Atom Probe Tomography

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Atom probe tomography can distinguish metallic, covalent, and metavalent bonds based upon their bond rupture; in particular, the probability to form more than one ion (PME) in laser‐assisted field evaporation. These findings open new avenues in understanding and designing phase change materials (PCMs) since they allow quantification of bonds in solids ...

Flexoelectricity in Photoconversion: Fundamentals, Materials, and Outlooks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical bending of a flexible cantilever induces a strain gradient in the photoactive material. The resulting flexoelectric field couples with photovoltaic and photoconductive effects, modulating charge generation, separation, and collection. A comparative analysis of oxide perovskites, halide perovskites, and two‐dimensional materials is presented,

Spin-imbalance induced buried topological edge currents in Mott and topological insulator heterostructures

New Journal of Physics
We theoretically investigate the heterostructure between a ferrimagnetic Mott insulator (MI) and a time-reversal invariant topological band insulator (TI) on the two-dimensional Lieb lattice with periodic boundary conditions.

Single‐Atom Intercalation‐Driven Topological Ferroelectric Metal for High‐Performance Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐atom Cu intercalation enables porous AB3 monolayers to integrate ferroelectricity, metallicity, topology, and hydrogen evolution catalysis in one platform. Switchable FE polarization modulates work function and hydrogen adsorption thermodynamics, providing an electrically controllable route to activate basal‐plane HER activity in topological ...

Giant Bulk Photovoltaic Effect in Two‐Dimensional Topological Ferroelectric Semimetal

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ferroelectric (FE) metals have attracted growing interest because they combine ferroelectricity with metallic behavior and enable polarization‐controlled band topology near the Fermi level. However, the number of known ferroelectric metals is still limited.

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses
