Charge Transport and Carrier Polarity Tuning by Electrolyte Gating in Nickel Benzenehexathiol Coordination Nanosheets

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work reveals that charge transport in nickel benzenehexathiol coordination nanosheets is governed by variable‐range hopping reflecting structural disorder. Electrolyte gating induces a switch in dominant carrier polarity from p‐type to n‐type and leads to an improvement in thermoelectric performance.

Traceless Photopolymerization with Non‐Pulsed Red Light Enables 3D‐Printable Cell‐Laden Hydrogels

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The paper presents a red‐light‐induced polymerization process, initiated by the FDA‐approved dye methylene blue and the cytocompatible co‐initiator triethanolamine, for fabricating hydrogels. This photopolymerization process is oxygen‐tolerant, cytocompatible, and, most importantly, leaves no color traces, resulting in completely transparent scaffolds.
