Sustainable Materials Design With Multi‐Modal Artificial Intelligence

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Critical mineral scarcity, high embodied carbon, and persistent pollution from materials processing intensify the need for sustainable materials design. This review frames the problem as multi‐objective optimization under heterogeneous, high‐dimensional evidence and highlights multi‐modal AI as an enabling pathway.

Spatially Coupled Cl2 Confinement and Activation at Curved Ni Single‐Atom Sites for Highly Reversible Li–Cl2 Batteries

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A robust cathode featuring curvature‐engineered Ni single‐atoms anchored within hierarchical pores effectively confines Cl2 and accelerates Cl0/Cl−1 redox kinetics. This synergistic architecture unlocks the potential of Li‐Cl2 secondary batteries with an unprecedented 1×106 mAh g−1 cumulative capacity, all‐climate resilience (–40°C to + 70°C), and 7.65

Data‐Driven Modeling of Composition–Processing–Microstructure Relations for Recycled Aluminum Cast Alloys

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Interpretable machine learning reveals how composition and processing govern the formation and microstructural burden of Fe‐rich intermetallic compounds in recycled Al–Si–Fe–Mn alloys. By separating morphology selection from morphology‐conditioned burden partitioning, this framework shows that identical Fe contents can yield different intermetallic ...

Thermally Processable, Transparent, Mechanically Tunable and Robust Bioplastics From Wastepaper

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Unlike conventional inefficient or low‐value wastepaper recycling, a directional transformation strategy is employed to convert whole wastepaper into intact bioplastics with tunable mechanical properties in our work. These bioplastics can be processed into flexible bags or rigid containers and exhibit high transparency, water resistance, repairability,
