Interfacial Salt Redistribution Enables Rapid Atmospheric Water Harvesting in a Biomimetic Multi‐Layer Hygroscopic Membrane

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic multi‐layer hygroscopic membrane redistributes salt toward an air‐accessible nanofiber interface, enabling rapid interfacial deliquescence while a brush‐like hydrogel promotes efficient liquid transport and storage. By decoupling vapor capture from bulk water storage, the membrane achieves fast sorption kinetics and enables rapid‐cycling ...

Toward Sustainable Separation and Recovery of Critical Metals From Discarded Industrial Perovskite Solar Modules

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An architecture‐guided recycling process enables selective metal recovery from end‐of‐life perovskite solar modules by exploiting interfacial accessibility and calcination‐induced phase transformation. The process achieves >99.8% Pb removal, >99.7% In recovery, and >96.1% Cu recovery, while selectively retaining Sn in leaching residue.

Methanol‐Regulated Interfacial Polymerization of Fluorinated Polyamide Membranes Enables Rapid Liquid Hydrocarbon Separation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Through methanol‐regulated interfacial polymerization (IP), bulky trifluoromethyl (‐CF3) groups are successfully integrated into polyamide networks. Unlike conventional membranes that suffer from severe solvent‐induced swelling, the fluorinated network sterically resists structural expansion.
