Combining the Pitcher and Lotus Plant: Supericephobic and Superhydrophobic Silicone Films

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on bench‐top nanomolding of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with optimized silicone oil content, we developed hierarchically structured silicone films by essentially combining the properties of the lotus and pitcher plant; particularly we are able to achieve water contact angle as high as 171° and ice adhesion strength as low as 11.5 kPa (i.e ...

Basal Plane Activation of SnS2 Thin‐Film by Fluorine Doping for Selective Solar‐Driven CO2 Reduction With Enhanced Quantum Efficiency

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The synergistic effect of fluorine doping and sulfur vacancies boosts the activity of the active sites without active‐site modulation, leading to enhanced CO2 photoreduction efficiency and a selectivity switch from CH4 to CO on tin disulfide continuous thin films. ABSTRACT Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into value‐added fuels offers a viable approach

Aligned Fibronectin Microenvironment Temporally Facilitates Profibrotic Fibroblast Activation via Integrin α5β1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared to a healthy random nanofibrous fibronectin microenvironment, a fibrotic aligned nanofibrous fibronectin microenvironment employs a specific integrin, α5β1 integrin, to activate early pro‐fibrotic fibroblast behaviors and later fibrotic fibroblast tissue formation with cell/F‐actin alignment, α‐SMA expression, and cell‐driven aligned ...
