Abstract Communication and interaction with machines are changing our ways of life. However, developing an acoustic interface that simultaneously features waterproofness, wearability, high fidelity, accuracy for human–machine remains a grand challenge. Herein, waterproof sensor (WAS) as wearable translation to communicate is reported. Owing the sound‐response ability internal microparticles, WAS holds significantly broad frequency response range 0.1–20 kHz, covering almost entire human...
Mixing multimetallic elements in hollow-structured nanoparticles is a promising strategy for the synthesis of highly efficient and cost-effective catalysts. However, hollow limited to two or three due difficulties morphology control under harsh alloying conditions. Herein, rapid continuous high-entropy-alloy (HEA) using "droplet-to-particle" method reported. The formation these HEA enabled through decomposition gas-blowing agent which large amount gas produced situ "puff" droplet during...
Abstract Reverse electrodialysis (RED) is known as an efficient way of converting the salinity gradient between river water and sea into energy. However, high cost complex fabrication necessary ion exchange membranes greatly prohibit development RED process. For first time, ionized wood membrane demonstrated for this application, benefiting from advantages natural wood, which abundant, low cost, sustainable, easy to scale. The maintains aligned nanochannels cellulose nanofibers derived wood....
Nanostructured catalysts often face an important challenge: poor stability. Many factors contribute to catalytic degradation, including parasitic chemical reactions, phase separation, agglomeration, and dissolution, leading activity loss especially during long-term reactions. This challenge is shared by a new family of catalysts, multimetallic nanoparticles, which have emerged owing their broad tunability high activity. While significant synthesis-based advances been made, the stability...
Abstract Garnet‐based solid‐state electrolytes (SSEs) are attractive for lithium metal batteries due to their wide electrochemical window, high conductivity, and excellent stability against metal. However, the risk of short‐circuit encumbers cycle life capacity garnet‐based without clear reason or mechanism. Here, reversible behavior in batteries, which differs from liquid cells, is reported first time. In situ neutron depth profiling adopted quantitatively measure Li transport, helps...
A solution-based printing and sintering technique is developed to fabricate a range of high-performance ceramic thin films.
Portable water filters are crucial to purification for household or community scale usage and especially popular in developing countries remote areas without treatment plants. However, commercial face many challenges, such as slow adsorption rates, limited throughput, the use of expensive materials sophisticated fabrication methods, hindering their wide application improved quality health. Here, we report a highly efficient filter directly derived from abundant wood material using facile...
Conventional plastic foams are usually produced by fossil-fuel-derived polymers, which difficult to degrade in nature. As an alternative, cellulose is a promising biodegradable polymer that can be used fabricate greener foams, yet such process typically relies on methods (e.g., freeze-drying and supercritical-drying) hardly scalable time-consuming. Here, we develop fast approach prepare cellulose-graphite via rapidly cross-linking the fibrils metal ions-containing solution followed ambient...
Multifunctional fibers with high mechanical strength enable advanced applications of smart textiles, robotics, and biomedicine. Herein, we reported a one-step degumming method to fabricate strong, stiff, humidity-responsive cellulosic from abundant natural grass. The facile process involves partially removing lignin hemicellulose functioning as glue in grass, which leads the separation vessels, parenchymal cells, fibers, where are manufactured at kilogram scale. resulting show dense...
Abstract Thin films of several microns in thickness are ubiquitously used packaging, electronics, and acoustic sensors.
