Abstract The lithium–sulfur battery is an attractive option for next‐generation energy storage owing to its much higher theoretical density than state‐of‐the‐art lithium‐ion batteries. However, the massive volume changes of sulfur cathode and uncontrollable deposition Li 2 S /Li significantly deteriorate cycling life increase voltage polarization. To address these challenges, we develop ϵ‐caprolactam/acetamide based eutectic‐solvent electrolyte, which can dissolve all lithium polysulfides...
Electrocatalytic dehalogenation (EDH) is a promising green technology for the breakage of strong carbon-chlorine (C-Cl) bonds that have fundamental importance in organic chemistry and environmental remediation. The lack understanding practical issues such as potential secondary pollution, side reactions (e.g., hydrogen-evolution reaction), deficiency catalytic activity, and/or stability limited adoption EDH technology. Here, we address these problems by designing palladium-based nanocatalyst...
Amphiphilic Janus particles demonstrate unique assembly structures when dried on a hydrophilic substrate. Particle orientations are influenced by amphiphilicity and balance. A three-stage model is developed to describe the process. Simulation further indicates dominant force capillary attraction due interface pinning at rough boundaries.
Molecular organizations and charge patterns inside biological nanopores are optimized by evolution to enhance ionic molecular transport. Inspired the nuclear pore complex that employs asymmetrically arranged disordered proteins for its gating, we here design an artificial nanopore coated asymmetric polyampholyte brush as a model system study mass transport under nanoconfinement. A nonequilibrium steady-state theory is developed account intricate regulation effect of weak address coupling...
The adsorption of weak polyelectrolytes and polyelectrolyte-grafted nanoparticles at a water–oil interface can be tuned by changing the pH salinity solution.
The interaction and stability of emulsion droplets can be actively manipulated by using polyelectrolyte-grafted nanoparticles as stabilizers.

Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules that widely used in consumer products, industrial processes, and biological applications. A critical property of a surfactant is the micelle concentration (CMC), which at undergo cooperative self-assembly solution. Notably, primary method to obtain CMCs experimentally—tensiometry—is laborious expensive. In this work, we show graph convolutional neural networks (GCNs) can predict directly from molecular structure. Specifically, developed GCN architecture...
Stimuli-responsive nanoparticles at fluid interfaces offer great potential for realizing on-demand and controllable self-assembly that can benefit various applications.
