Covalent Organic Frameworks for Water Sorption: The Importance of Framework Physical Stability
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 13, 12 February 2026.This study explores the water‐vapor stability of 2D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with varying pore sizes. Results reveal microporous COFs demonstrate superior stability compared to mesoporous ones, despite lower water uptake. Mesoporous keto‐enamine‐linked COFs show enhanced stability due to intralayer hydrogen bonds, confirmed by simulations and

Tunable and Recyclable Piezoelectric Biomaterials via Ion‐Directed Guanine‐Quadruplex Assembly
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 11, 5 February 2026.Guanine‐quadruplex (GQ) assemblies, formed via ion‐mediated self‐assembly of amphiphilic guanine derivatives, are introduced as tunable and recyclable piezoelectric biomaterials. Distinct alkali ions induce unique dipole configurations and piezoelectric outputs, with K⁺ yielding the highest performance.

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.Herein, the correlational changes of each PEDOT Raman peak to morphology and doping level are identified. Two equations are derived to estimate PEDOT π–π spacing and doping level from Raman spectra (from which mobility is also extracted). GIWAXS and XPS results validate the estimation equations.
