The controllable incorporation of multiple immiscible elements into a single nanoparticle merits untold scientific and technological potential, yet remains challenge using conventional synthetic techniques. We present general route for alloying up to eight dissimilar single-phase solid-solution nanoparticles, referred as high-entropy-alloy nanoparticles (HEA-NPs), by thermally shocking precursor metal salt mixtures loaded onto carbon supports [temperature ~2000 kelvin (K), 55-millisecond...

Natural wood-based materials are directly utilized to construct ultra-thick all-wood-structured supercapacitors with ultra-high capacitance and energy density.
For the first time, two types of highly anisotropic, transparent wood composites are demonstrated by taking advantage macro-structures in original wood. These with a total transmittance up to 90% but exhibit dramatically different optical and mechanical properties. As service our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied authors. Such materials peer reviewed may be re-organized for online delivery, not copy-edited or typeset. Technical support issues arising from...
Substantial efforts are underway to develop all‐solid‐state Li batteries (SSLiBs) toward high safety, power density, and energy density. Garnet‐structured solid‐state electrolyte exhibits great promise for SSLiBs owing its Li‐ion conductivity, wide potential window, sufficient thermal/chemical stability. A major challenge of garnet is that the contact between Li‐metal anodes poor due rigidity garnet, which leads limited active sites large interfacial resistance. This study proposes a new...
The solar steam process, akin to the natural water cycle, is considered be an attractive approach address scarcity issues globally. However, extraction from groundwater, for example, has not been demonstrated using these existing technologies. Additionally, there are major unaddressed challenges in extracting potable seawater including salt accumulation and long-term evaporation stability, which warrant further investigation. Herein, a high-performance device composed entirely of wood...
