Increasing Inter‐Micellar Connectivity Toughens and Imparts Cooling‐Induced Shape Memory in Micellar Hydrogels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oligomerizing Pluronic triblock copolymers provides a processing strategy for tuning the mechanical properties and stimuli‐responsive behaviors of micellar hydrogels. Varying oligomer fraction produces hydrogels spanning brittle to highly extensible responses; maintaining micellar architectures enables cooling‐induced reverse thermal shape memory and ...

Functionalizing Micro‐to‐Mesoscopic Electrode Architectures for Regulating Electron Transfer Behaviors in Electrocatalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A systematic review is conducted to assess the influence of electrode architecture across micro‐ to mesoscopic length scales on electron‐transfer pathways in electrocatalysis. We discuss the structure‐activity relationships in electrocatalytic applications, including resource recovery and environmental remediation, and provide cost‐effective, efficient

Unusual Temperature‐Enhanced Bulk Photovoltaic Effect Beyond the Centrosymmetric Phase in CuCrP2S6 van der Waals Crystals

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Contrary to conventional expectations, the bulk photovoltaic effect in CuCrP2S6 is enhanced rather than suppressed upon transitioning into the crystallographically centrosymmetric phase. Dynamic Cu‐ion disorder creates transient polar states, which substantially amplifies zero‐bias photocurrent (shift‐current) generation, establishing dynamic symmetry ...

Tunable Dirac cones in single-layer selenium

New Journal of Physics, 2020
Dirac cone, one of the main characters of topological materials, provides us an approach to explore topological phase transitions and topological states. Single-element 2D-Xenes are prominent candidates for hosting Dirac cones.

Topological Phase Transitions [PDF]

, 2019
This chapter aims to develop a systematic theory of topological phase transitions (TPTs) and explores a few typical examples, including (1) quantum phase transitions (QPTs), (2) galactic spiral structures, (3) electromagnetic eruptions on solar surface, (4) boundary-layer separation of fluid flows, and (5) interior separation of fluid flows.

Molecular Rotors: From Newtonian Fluids to Functional Materials as Viscosity and Temperature Sensing Tools

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Molecular rotors are fluorescent molecules that are sensitive to viscosity and temperature variations in the environment. They exhibit a direct correlation between fluorescence and viscosity within Newtonian fluids. However, this correlation becomes less straightforward in complex systems.

Controlling the TE-TM splitting of topological photonic interface states by precise incident angle adjustment

Communications Physics
Topological phases in photonic systems have garnered significant attention, often relying on precise structural design for generating non-trivial topological phases. However, this dependency on fixed structures limits their adaptability.
