(IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-22 Junlong Huang, Yongqi Chen, Zongheng Cen, Tan Yi, Min Liang, Youlong Zhu, Ruliang Liu, Ruowen Fu, Shaohong Liu, Dingcai Wu
Carbonaceous materials are regarded as one of the most promising anodes for potassium‐ion batteries (PIBs), but their rate capabilities have been largely limited by the slow solid‐state potassium diffusion kinetics inside anode and sluggish interfacial potassium ion transfer process. Herein, high‐rate and high‐capacity PIBs have been demonstrated by facile topological defect‐regulation of the microstructure

Hydrogen Bonds Induced Ultra‐Long Stability of Conductive Π‐d Conjugated FeCo3(DDA)2 with High OER Activity Adv. Mater. (IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-22 Lingtong Lin, Caiyun Zhang, Congcong Liang, Honggang Zhang, Zeyan Wang, Peng Wang, Zhaoke Zheng, Hefeng Cheng, Danning Xing, Ying Dai, Yuanyuan Liu, Baibiao Huang
Conductive π‐d conjugated metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted wide concerns in electrocatalysis due to their intrinsic high conductivity. However, the poor electrocatalytic stability is still a major problem that hinders the practical application of MOFs. Herein, we report a novel approach to enhancing the stability of MOF‐based electrocatalyst, namely, the introduction of hydrogen bonds

Boltzmann Switching MoS2 Metal‐semiconductor Field‐effect Transistors Enabled by Monolithic‐oxide‐gapped Metal Gates at the Schottky‐Mott Limit Adv. Mater. (IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-22 Yeon Ho Kim, Wei Jiang, Donghun Lee, Donghoon Moon, Hyun‐Young Choi, June‐Chul Shin, Yeonsu Jeong, Jong Chan Kim, Jaeho Lee, Woong Huh, Chang Yong Han, Jae‐Pil So, Tae Soo Kim, Seong Been Kim, Hyun Cheol Koo, Gunuk Wang, Kibum Kang, Hong‐Gyu Park, Hu Young Jeong, Seongil Im, Gwan‐Hyoung Lee, Tony Low, Chul‐Ho Lee
A gate stack that facilitates a high‐quality interface and tight electrostatic control is crucial for realizing high‐performance and low‐power field‐effect transistors (FETs). However, when constructing conventional metal‐oxide‐semiconductor structures with two‐dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide channels, achieving these requirements becomes challenging due to inherent difficulties in

Dismantlable Coronated Nanoparticles for Coupling the Induction and Perception of Immunogenic Cell Death Adv. Mater. (IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-21 Huan Liang, Chunchen Xu, Daoxia Guo, Fei Peng, Nan Chen, Haiyun Song, Xiaoyuan Ji
Therapy‐induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) can initiate both innate and adaptive immune responses for amplified anti‐tumor efficacy. However, dying cell‐released ICD signals are prone to being sequestered by the TIM‐3 receptors on dendritic cell (DC) surfaces, preventing immune surveillance. Herein, dismantlable coronated nanoparticles (NPs) are fabricated as a type of spatiotemporally controlled

Disorder‐Broadened Phase Boundary with Enhanced Amorphous Superconductivity in Pressurized In2Te5 Adv. Mater. (IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-20 Yi Zhao, Tianping Ying, Lingxiao Zhao, Juefei Wu, Cuiying Pei, Jing Chen, Jun Deng, Qinghua Zhang, Lin Gu, Qi Wang, Weizheng Cao, Changhua Li, Shihao Zhu, Mingxin Zhang, Na Yu, Lili Zhang, Yulin Chen, Chui‐Zhen Chen, Tongxu Yu, Yanpeng Qi
As an empirical tool in materials science and engineering, the iconic phase diagram owes its robustness and practicality to the topological characteristics rooted in the celebrated Gibbs phase law (F = C – P + 2). When crossing the phase diagram boundary, the structure transition occurs abruptly, bringing about an instantaneous change in physical properties and limited controllability on the boundaries

Knotted Artificial Muscles for Bio‐mimetic Actuation under Deepwater Adv. Mater. (IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-20 Wenhui Chen, Dezhong Tong, Linghan Meng, Bowen Tan, Ruochen Lan, Qifeng Zhang, Huai Yang, Cong Wang, Ke Liu
Muscles featuring high frequency and high stroke linear actuation are essential for animals to achieve superior maneuverability, agility, and environmental adaptability. Artificial muscles are yet to match their biological counterparts, due to inferior actuation speed, magnitude, mode, or adaptability. Inspired by the hierarchical structure of natural muscles, we create artificial muscles that are

Engineering Large‐Scale Self‐Mineralizing Bone Organoids with Bone Matrix‐Inspired Hydroxyapatite Hybrid Bioinks Adv. Mater. (IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-20 Jian Wang, Yan Wu, Guangfeng Li, Fengjin Zhou, Xiang Wu, Miaomiao Wang, Xinru Liu, Hua Tang, Long Bai, Zhen Geng, Peiran Song, Zhongmin Shi, Xiaoxiang Ren, Jiacan Su
Addressing large bone defects remains a significant challenge owing to the inherent limitations in self‐healing capabilities, resulting in prolonged recovery and suboptimal regeneration. Although current clinical solutions are available, they have notable shortcomings, necessitating more efficacious approaches to bone regeneration. Organoids derived from stem cells show great potential in this field;
