Reducing Ion Transport Friction by Mitigated Diluent‐Solvent Interaction for Sodium–Sulfur Battery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A local high‐concentration electrolyte to balance the ionic conductivity and interfacial stability is developed through replacing the high solvating DME with the moderate solvating diethyl ether to mitigate the diluent‐solvent interaction and reduce the local dynamic friction for Na+ transport, while maintaining the anion‐rich solvation clusters and ...

Achieving High‐Instantaneous Pulse Power in Contact‐Separation TENG via Series Capacitive Voltage Control Architecture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional contact‐separation triboelectric nanogenerators generate high voltage but deliver limited power due to premature charge dissipation. Here, a capacitive charge reservoir architecture decouples charge accumulation from discharge triggering, enabling sequential voltage amplification via floating‐layer capacitive coupling.

Nonlinear Ion‐Specific Control of Underwater Adhesion by Bottlebrush Polymer Interfaces

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The efficiency of underwater adhesion is modulated by ion‐specific effects. Strongly hydrated Na+ remains separated from the mica surface by its hydration shell, preserving access to binding sites, whereas weakly hydrated K+ can partially dehydrate and occupy ditrigonal cavities.
