Stiffening Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Liquid Crystal Inclusions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Incorporation of low molecular weight liquid crystals (LC) into liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) leads to a significant increase in their stiffness and output work density. Such remarkable stiffening is attributed to nanoscale phase‐separation and the formation of induced‐smectic domains in polydomain and monodomain LC‐LCEs, respectively.

Robust Mix‐Charged Polyzwitterionic Hydrogels for Ultra‐Efficient Atmospheric Water Harvesting and Evaporative Cooling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional atmospheric water‐harvesting hydrogels prioritize hygroscopicity at the expense of mechanics, hindering its practical applications. The proposed hygroscopic mix‐charged polyzwitterionic hydrogel(THMPH) achieves a trade‐off between high water absorption and exceptional mechanical robustness through a strength gradient‐enhanced ionic cross ...

Borate‐Water‐Based 3D‐Slime Interface Quasi‐Solid Electrolytes for Li‐ion Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This advanced material, composed of lithium borate, lithium salt, and water, is a quasi‐solid that can be handled in air and has a 3D‐conducting‐interface network (3D‐Slime‐Interface Quasi‐Solid Electrolytes: 3D‐SLISE). The 3D‐SLISE is nonflammable and can be used in lithium‐ion batteries, and its water solubility allows direct recycling of active ...
