We have successfully developed hydrogels with high compressive toughness by reinforcing the double-network structure (PAMPS/PAAm) grafted silica nanoparticles. Silica nanoparticles vinyl end groups were used as macro-crosslinkers to copolymerize AMPS, yielding a nanocomposite first network. Subsequent introduction of secondary PAAm network resulted in super-tough (DN) composite hydrogels, which do not fracture upon loading up 73 MPa and strain above 0.98. The strength, swelling behavior,...

Abstract High‐energy‐density lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) face critical challenges due to the lack of electrolyte solvents that can achieve dual‐interfaces stability. Although ethyl mesylate (EM)‐based sulfone electrolytes are compatible with high‐voltage cathodes, their high viscosity and tendency EM's reactive sulfonate ester group decompose at graphite (Gr) anodes limit broad applications. Here, a novel approach is introduced uses single co‐solvent acetate (EA), methyl propionate (MP), or...

Ultrathin TiO2 films showing rich morphologies are prepared on Si(100) substrates using sol−gel chemistry coupled with an amphilic polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO) diblock copolymer as a structure-directing agent. The block undergoes good−poor solvent pair induced phase separation in mixed solution of 1,4-dioxane, concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl), and titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP). By adjusting the weight fractions HCl, TTIP, inorganic composite containing variety...
