Electrode-electrolyte interfaces (EEIs) affect the rate capability, cycling stability, and thermal safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Designing stable EEIs with fast Li+ transport is crucial for developing advanced LIBs. Here, we study Li+ kinetics at EEIs tailored by three nanoscale polymer thin films via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) polym...

The weak adhesion between two hydrogel layers may lead to the delamination of bilayer hydrogels or low force transfer efficiency during deformation. Here, tough interfacial adhesive bilayer hydrogels with rapid shape deformation and recovery were prepared by simple attachment-heating of two gel layers. The bilayer hydrogels, composed of a shape mem...

One potential approach to address the rising threat of antibiotic resistance is through novel formulations of established drugs. We designed antibiotic cross-linked micelles (ABC-micelles) by cross-linking the Pluronic F127 block copolymers with an antibiotic itself, via a novel one-pot synthesis in aqueous solution. ABC-micelles enhanced antibioti...

Vertical graphene (VG) is a thin-film complex material featuring hierarchical microstructures: graphene-containing carbon nanosheets growing vertically on its deposition substrate, few-layer graphene basal layers, and chemically active atomistic defect sites and edges. Thanks to the fundamental characteristics of graphene materials, e.g. excellent ...

Hydrogen-fed polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) are promising electrochemical energy converters and a key technology for sustainable mobility and coupling energy sectors. Under operating conditions, water is produced by the oxygen reduction reaction. The gas diffusion layer (GDL) materials, interfacing the reaction sites and gas feed channels, ...

Herein, we describe capsule polymer particles with precisely controlled pH-responsive release properties prepared directly via the interfacial photo-cross-linking of spherical poly(2-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate-co-2-cinnamoylethyl methacrylate) (P(DEAEMA-CEMA)) particles. In the interfacial photo-cross-linking, photoreactive cinnamoyl groups in ...

Biomimetic biomaterials are being actively explored in the context of cancer immunotherapy because of their ability to directly engage the immune system to generate antitumor responses. Unlike cellular therapies, biomaterial-based immunotherapies can be precisely engineered to exhibit defined characteristics including biodegradability, physical siz...

Aromatic molecules such as pyrenes are a unique class of building units for graphene functionalization, forming highly ordered π-π stacks while peptides provide more complex, biocompatible linkers. Understanding the adsorption and stacking behavior of these molecules and their influence on material properties is an essential step in enabling highly...

Bimetallic structures offer properties that can be customized based on applications, manufactured in one operation. Such manufacturing options are fascinating, as joining two metallic materials, especially for two dissimilar metals without significant defects, is challenging. In this study, 316L stainless steel (SS) to Al12Si aluminum alloy structu...
