A Thermoreversible Gelation Pathway to Plant Cuticle‐Inspired Biopolymer Aerogel Monoliths Based on Network‐Spherulitic Crystal Assemblies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
To address functionality limitations in plant‐based and industrially compostable polymer aerogels, this work introduces bio‐inspired aerogels with broadened functionality. Inspired by functional plant tissues, lightweight biopolymer aerogels based on exclusively stereocomplex crystals are fabricated, featuring hierarchically macro‐/meso‐porous ...

Tamper‐Responsive Physical Unclonable Functions via Graphene‐Interlayered Block Copolymer Random Structures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐invalidating multilayer physical unclonable functions (PUFs) integrate fingerprint‐like metal nanopattern bilayers from block copolymer templates with highly reactive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) interlayers. This tamper‐responsive architecture blocks all unauthorized physical and chemical replication attempts while autonomously deactivating ...

Sub‐nm2 Ferroelectric Domains via Charged 180° Walls in ZrO2

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric ZrO2${\rm ZrO}_2$ thin films host closely spaced charged 180∘$^{\circ }$ domain walls that vertically compress polar domains beyond their lateral half‐unit‐cell limit. These head‐to‐head and tail‐to‐tail walls show distinct bulk‐like structures, natural oxygen‐mediated stabilization, and highly asymmetric mobility, highlighting new ...

Multi‐Li+ Coordination for Superior Room‐Temperature Ionic Conductivity in PEO Solid Electrolytes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A phosphonate‐functionalized polycarboxylate ether (P‐PCE) is introduced into PEO electrolytes to induce multi‐Li+ ions coordination, which effectively dissociates lithium salts, liberates Li+ from the strong chelation by PEO chains, and promotes fast Li+ hopping between adjacent coordination sites. Simultaneously, this design establishes dynamic, high‐

Interface‐Mediated Catalysis for Improved Hydrogen Storage in Reactive Hydride Composites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Catalyst–hydride interfaces are engineered in Co@C‐ and Ni@C‐modified 2LiH + MgB2 reactive hydride composites to accelerate hydrogen uptake and release. Multiscale scattering, in‐situ synchrotron radiation powder x‐ray diffraction and density functional theory calculations reveal the structural and electronic origin of the catalytic enhancement ...

Phase‐Engineered MoS2 Quantum Monolayer Catalysts

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A new type of catalyst model—phase‐engineered MoS2 quantum‐monolayer catalyst (∼0.8 nm thick, < 6 nm in the lateral size; switchable freely among metallic 1T, semiconducting 2H, and a hybrid phase of metallic‐semiconducting 1T‐2H)—is reported. It can efficiently and stably drive photochemical H2, syngas and ammonia synthesis as a catalyst or co ...

Ionic Cocrystal Programming of Spatial Ionic Organization in Carbon Nitrides Enables Highly Efficient H2O2 Photosynthesis

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic cocrystal‐programmed ionic organization establishes a general strategy for electrostatic programming in polymeric photocatalysts. ABSTRACT Controlling the spatial organization of ions in polymeric photocatalysts remains a fundamental challenge for optimizing charge transport and catalytic selectivity in solar‐driven hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 ...

1T‐to‐2H Phase Evolution During Epitaxial Growth of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
During MOCVD growth of MoS2 and WSe2, a transient metallic 1T phase emerges in early, edge‐rich, chalcogen‐deficient domains and declines as the films ultimately coalesce as 2H material. Together, experiments and ReaxFF simulations link domain size, edge stoichiometry, and vacancies to this evolution.

Descriptor‐Informed Screening of Interface‐Active Molecules for Efficient Magnesium Metal Anodes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A descriptor‐informed molecular screening strategy identifies 4‐bromo‐N, N‐dimethylaniline (BrNNA) as an interface‐active electrolyte component that enables fast Mg stripping/plating in Mg(TFSI)2‐based electrolytes. By simultaneously regulating Mg2+ solvation and interphase formation, the BrNNA‐containing electrolyte delivers activation‐free Mg ...
