Abstract Dual‐band electrochromic smart windows with dynamic and independent control of near‐infrared (NIR) visible (VIS) light transmittance can notably reduce the carbon footprint buildings improve occupants’ visual thermal comfort. The dual‐band response is often generated by phase transition crystalline materials. However, phase‐transition materials kinetically sluggish, resulting in a long time. Herein, fast‐switching window based on single‐component amorphous porous tungsten oxide...

Flexible power supply devices provide possibilities for wearable electronics in the Internet of Things. However, unsatisfying capacity or lifetime typical batteries capacitors seriously limit their practical applications. Different from conventional heat-to-electricity generators, zinc ion thermal charging cells has been a competitive candidate self-power solution, but lack promising cathode materials restricted achievement performances. Herein, we propose an attractive material by rational...

Ionic and electronic transport in electrodes is crucial for electrochemical energy storage technology. To optimize the pathway of ions electrons, electrode materials are minimized to nanometer-sized dimensions, leading problems volumetric performance, stability, cost, pollution. Here we find that a bulk hexagonal molybdenum oxide with unconventional ion channels can store large amounts protons at high rate even if its particle size tens micrometers. The diffusion-free proton kinetics based...
