Abstract Hydrogel‐based evaporators for interfacial solar vapor generation (SVG) have emerged as a promising and sustainable strategy freshwater production. Nevertheless, developing green simple approach in the fabrication of porous hydrogel‐based with tunable structures superior mechanical properties continues to be challenge. Herein, cryo‐assembled templating polymerization (CTP) is proposed an ecological, yet effective synthesizing sponge‐like hydrogels (SPHs) outstanding properties....

Water scarcity is a pressing global issue, requiring innovative solutions such as atmospheric water harvesting (AWH), which captures moisture from the air to provide potable many water-stressed areas. Thermoresponsive hydrogels, class of temperature-sensitive polymers, demonstrate potential for AWH matrices hygroscopic components like salts predominantly due their relatively energy-efficient desorption properties compared other sorbents. However, challenges limited swelling capacity...

Abstract Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) offers a promising pathway to alleviate global scarcity, highlighting the need for environmentally responsible sorbent materials. In this context, research introduces universal strategy transforming natural polysaccharides into effective hydrogel sorbents, demonstrated with cellulose, starch, and chitosan. The methodology unites alkylation graft thermoresponsive groups, thereby enhancing processability enabling energy‐efficient release at lower...

Solar-driven atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) presents a sustainable approach for freshwater production with sunlight as the sole energy input. To address challenges posed by diurnal moisture variations and diffusive sunlight, we present system-wide that synergistically enhances capture solar utilization in an integrated harvester. Moisture at bulk sorbent scale is improved through hierarchical pore structure of scalable biomass gel sheets enabling rapid regeneration further upscaled to...

Single-crystalline vanadium dioxide nanowires (VO2 NWs) have attracted significant interest due to their unique characteristics, which originate from the single-domain metal–insulator phase transition (MIT) property. However, lack of facile technologies produce vertical nanowire arrays (NAs) in a large area has limited mass fabrication VO2-based devices. Here, an antimony-assisted hydrothermal method is developed for low-temperature production wafer-scale VO2 NAs on arbitrary substrates...

Abstract Due to indispensable ligands, polluted organic solution, or complex vapour deposition, stable CsPbBr 3 film is hard be prepared directly using a simple and environmentally friendly method. To improve the stability of its synthesis methods, double‐films solid phase reaction was developed, Cs 4 PbBr 6 /CsPbBr composites were designed. Although synthesized particle had size 2–5 μm, much larger than that quantum dots, in ambient conditions films still showed good photoluminescence...

To effectively handle functional data and longitudinal data, we propose a robust estimation approach based on penalised regularisation with the framework of varying-coefficient additive model. Our method utilises an iterative backfitting algorithm that leverages splines to estimate component functions. The proposed showcases both stability effectiveness in model fitting, particularly when dealing scenarios involving high-dimensional covariates high levels noise. We establish comprehensive...

Stress/strain engineering is believed to be an effective way adjust the thermal conductivity of materials dynamically or as needed. Compared with bulk materials, micro‐/nanoscale structures can withstand greater stress/deformations that lead evident changes in their after undergoing stress/strain; this phenomenon has been predicted by theoretical simulations. Nevertheless, measuring a single wire small size upon controllable bending angles faced major challenges. Herein, method using VO 2...
