A Panoramic View of MXenes via an Atomic Coordination‐Based Design Strategy

Two‐dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and nitrides, known as MXenes, possess unique physical and chemical properties, enabling diverse applications in fields ranging from energy storage to communication, catalysis, sensing, healthcare, and beyond. Despite extensive research and notable advancements, a fundamental understanding of MXenes’ phase diversity and its connection to their hierarchical precursors, including the intermediate MAX phases and the ancestral bulk phases, remains limited. Here, in this study, it is hypothesized that the atomic coordination environments adopted by transition metal and nonmetallic atoms in their three‐dimensional (3D) bulk precursors may persist in 2D MXenes to govern their phase diversity. Using high‐throughput modeling based on first‐principles density functional theory, a wide range of MXene phases is unveiled and comprehensively evaluate their relative stabilities across a large chemical space. The key to the approach lies in considering various atomic coordination environments drawn from four types of ancestral bulk phases. Through this comprehensive structural library of MXenes, general guiding principles are uncovered, such as a close alignment between the phase stability of MXenes and that of their 3D precursors. These findings introduce a new design strategy in which the atomic coordination environments in bulk phases can serve as reliable predictors for accessing the diverse structural landscape of MXenes.

Domain Nucleation and Growth in an Epitaxially Grown Wurtzite Ferroelectric

Ferroelectric domain nucleation and growth in epitaxial (Al, B, Sc)N films grown on n-GaN substrates are explored using a combination of ferroelectric property measurements and scanning transmission electron microscopy, including novel in situ switching studies. The films are electrically switched to nitrogen-polar (N-polar) and metal-polar (M-polar) configurations, attaining a remanent polarization of 120 µC cm −2 with coercive fields of ≈6 MV cm −1 . In the initial switching cycle, the ferroelectric domains nucleate near the bottom n-GaN electrode and develop domain walls with zigzag morphologies, while residual “dead layers” that do not switch from the as-deposited orientation persist at the top and bottom electrodes. The in situ microscopy experiments reveal that domain walls propagate fastest in the lateral direction, parallel to the electrode/film interface. These findings provide insights into the domain dynamics and structural evolution of wurtzite ferroelectrics, offering implications for next-generation electronic devices.

Silylsilane‐Substituted Polymers: Fluorine‐Free, Liquid Repellent, and Hydrolytically Stable Alternatives to Siloxanes

Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are omniphobic and exceptionally stable, making them ideal for a wide range of materials applications. However, as “forever chemicals”, their exceptional persistence and bioaccumulation have generated an increasing amount of environmental and health concerns, prompting the search for fluorine‐free alternatives. Siloxane‐based materials are therefore interesting to examine as PFAS alternatives due to their low surface energy and hydrophobicity but suffer from hydrolytic instability of Si─O linkages. To address this challenge, a novel methacrylate monomer, 3‐[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]propyl methacrylate (M‐silyl), is designed containing Si─Si bonds rather than Si─O bonds of siloxanes. Polymers derived from M‐silyl (P‐silyl) is prepared by controlled free radical polymerization and compared with their siloxane analogues after coating on silicon wafers. Contact angle (CA) measurements confirmed P‐silyl to be hydrophobic (advancing/receding water CA = 109.7°/83.0°), with a low‐hysteresis for oil (lyophobic) (hexadecane CA hysteresis = 2.0°), comparable to its siloxane‐based counterpart. Importantly, P‐silyl maintained these surface properties after exposure to acidic or basic conditions, while siloxane analogues lost hydrophobicity. Consequently, the incorporation of Si ─ Si linkages into the design of the polymer enables chemically stable, fluorine‐free alternatives for water‐repellent and low hysteresis surface coatings and advances the design of fluorine‐free functional materials.

Stereochemically‐Controlled Fluorinated Copolymers for Selectively Permeable Barrier Applications

Selective oxygen permeability coupled with low water vapor transmission is essential for biomedical and packaging applications requiring controlled oxygen flux under humid conditions. However, most high‐performance barrier polymers depend on perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), whose persistence and regulatory restrictions limit their long‐term applicability. We designed a series of stereocontrolled thiol‐yne‐based polyesters, including both fluorinated and non‐fluorinated variants, for selective oxygen permeability with considerable water barrier performance. Tailoring polymer crystallinity and morphology tuned both oxygen transport and mechanical properties. Fluorinated polymers demonstrated enhanced hydrophobicity and water resistance while maintaining oxygen diffusivity within a range relevant to oxygen‐sensing applications. Structure–property relationships were elucidated through small‐ and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering, revealing semi‐crystalline domains influenced by fluorine content and dithiol chain length. Barrier performance was rigorously evaluated via water vapor transmission rate and dynamic vapor sorption, showing reduced water uptake with increasing dithiol monomer length and crystallinity. In conclusion, this work introduces a PFAS‐free alternative to conventional barrier materials and establishes a tunable materials platform with potential relevance for biomedical devices and packaging systems requiring controlled oxygen permeability.

Multilaminate Energy Storage Films from Entropy‐Driven Self‐Assembled Supramolecular Nanocomposites

Abstract Composite materials comprising polymers and inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are promising for energy storage applications, though challenges in controlling NP dispersion often result in performance bottlenecks. Realizing nanocomposites with controlled NP locations and distributions within polymer microdomains is highly desirable for improving energy storage capabilities but is a persistent challenge, impeding the in‐depth understanding of the structure–performance relationship. In this study, a facile entropy‐driven self‐assembly approach is employed to fabricate block copolymer‐based supramolecular nanocomposite films with highly ordered lamellar structures, which are then used in electrostatic film capacitors. The oriented interfacial barriers and well‐distributed inorganic NPs within the self‐assembled multilaminate nanocomposites effectively suppress leakage current and mitigate the risk of breakdown, showing superior dielectric strength compared to their disordered counterparts. Consequently, the lamellar nanocomposite films with optimized composition exhibit high energy efficiency (>90% at 650 MV m −1 ), along with remarkable energy density and power density. Moreover, finite element simulations and statistical modeling have provided theoretical insights into the impact of the lamellar structure on electrical conduction, electric field distribution, and electrical tree propagation. This work marks a significant advancement in the design of organic–inorganic hybrids for energy storage, establishing a well‐defined correlation between microstructure and performance.

Double Hydroxide Nanocatalysts for Urea Electrooxidation Engineered toward Environmentally Benign Products

Abstract Recent advancements in the electrochemical urea oxidation reaction (UOR) present promising avenues for wastewater remediation and energy recovery. Despite progress toward optimized efficiency, hurdles persist in steering oxidation products away from environmentally unfriendly products, mostly due to a lack of understanding of structure‐selectivity relationships. In this study, the UOR performance of Ni and Cu double hydroxides, which show marked differences in their reactivity and selectivity is evaluated. CuCo hydroxides predominantly produce N 2 , reaching a current density of 20 mA cm geo −2 at 1.04 V – 250 mV less than NiCo hydroxides that generate nitrogen oxides. A collection of in‐situ spectroscopies and scattering experiments reveal a unique in situ generated Cu (2‐x)+ ‐OO −• active sites in CuCo, which initiates nucleophilic substitution of NH 2 from the amide, leading to N‐N coupling between * NH on Co and Cu. In contrast, the formation of nitrogen oxides on NiCo is primarily attributed to the presence of high‐valence Ni 3+ and Ni 4+ , which facilitates N‐H activation. This process, in conjunction with the excessive accumulation of OH − ions on Jahn‐Teller (JT) distorted Co sites, leads to the generation of NO 2 − as the primary product. This work underscores the importance of catalyst composition and structural engineering in tailoring innocuous UOR products.

Zero-Strain Metal-Insulator Transition by the Local Fluctuation of Cation Dimerization

The coupled electronic and structural transitions in metal-insulator transition (MIT) hinder ultrafast switching and ultimate endurance. Decoupling these transitions and achieving a zero-strain electronic MIT can overcome the fundamental limitations of MIT in solid materials. Here, this study demonstrates that iso-valent Ti dopants in supercooled VO 2 epitaxial films cause MIT with minimal hysteresis without changing unit-cell volume and crystal symmetry. The Ti dopants in the VO 2 lattice locally alter the configuration of V-V pairs, where the long-range ordering in V-V pairs is disrupted, and the nano-domains of V-V dimers are formed. Strikingly, these local V-V dimers persist even above the electronic transition temperature (T MI ), facilitating the zero-strain electronic MIT with nanoscale structural heterogeneity. The geometrically compatible interface between insulating and metallic phases drastically enhances switching speed and endurance during electrically and optically driven zero-strain MIT. In conclusion, this discovery offers a fresh perspective on the scientific understanding of MIT and the improved functionality in terms of device speed and reliability by decoupling electronic and structural transitions.

Manipulating Ferroelectric Topological Polar Structures with Twisted Light

Abstract The dynamic control of non‐equilibrium states represents a central challenge in condensed matter physics. While intense terahertz fields drive metal‐insulator transitions and ferroelectricity via soft phonon modes, recent theory suggests that twisted light with orbital angular momentum (OAM) offers a distinct route to manipulate ferroelectric order and stabilize topological excitations including skyrmions, vortices, and Hopfions. Control of ferroelectric polarization in quasi‐2D CsBiNb 2 O 7 (CBNO) is demonstrated using non‐resonant twisted ultra‐violet (UV) light (375 nm, 800 THz). Combining in situ X‐ray Bragg coherent diffractive imaging (BCDI), twisted optical Raman spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT), three‐dimensional (3D) ionic displacements, strain fields, and polarization changes are resolved in single crystals. Operando measurements reveal light‐induced strain hysteresis under twisted light–a hallmark of nonlinear, history‐dependent ferroelastic switching driven by OAM. Discrete, irreversible domain transitions emerge as the topological charge ℓ is cycled, stabilizing non‐trivial domain textures including vortex‐antivortex pairs, Bloch/anti‐Bloch points, and merons. These persist after OAM removal, indicating a memory effect. Competing mechanisms are discussed, including multiphoton absorption, strain‐mediated polarization switching, and defect‐wall interactions. The findings establish structured light as a tool for deterministic, reversible control of ferroic states, enabling optically reconfigurable non‐volatile devices.

Synthetic active liquid crystals powered by acoustic waves.

Active nematic materials combine orientational order with activity at the microscopic level. Current experimental realizations of active nematics include vibrating elongated particles, cell layers, suspensions of elongated bacteria, and a mixture of bio-filaments with molecular motors. The majority of active nematics are of biological origin. The realization of a fully synthetic active liquid crystal comprised of a lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal energized by ultrasonic waves, is reported. This synthetic active liquid crystal is free from biological degradation and variability, exhibits phenomenology associated with active nematics, and enables precise and rapid activity control over a significantly extended range. It is demonstrated that the energy of the acoustic field is converted into microscopic extensile stresses disrupting long-range nematic order and giving rise to an undulation instability and proliferation of topological defects. The emergence of unconventional free-standing persistent vortices in the nematic director field at high activity levels is revealed. The results provide a foundation for the design of externally energized active liquid crystals with stable material properties and tunable topological defect dynamics crucial for the realization of reconfigurable microfluidic systems.

Robust Oxygen‐Vacancy‐Engineered Co(OH) 2 /Cu Heterostructures Boost Nitrate Electroreduction to Ammonia beyond 2 A cm −2

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO 3 RR) presents a sustainable paradigm for green NH 3 synthesis and NO 3 − wastewater valorization. However, overcoming sluggish NO 3 RR kinetics under industrial-current operation persists as a critical challenge. Herein, robust oxygen vacancy-enriched heterostructures (O v -Co(OH) 2 /Cu) are engineered through in situ electrochemical reconstruction. By coupling Cu-mediated NO 3 − -to-NO 2 − conversion with O v -Co(OH) 2 -accelerated NO 2 − -to-NH 3 transformation, this heterostructured system delivers an unprecedented NH 3 yield rate of 167.8 mg h −1 cm −2 and 97.7% Faradaic efficiency at >2 A cm −2 , while maintaining exceptional current tolerance over 25 h. Operando spectroscopic characterizations and theoretical calculations reveal that the introduction of O v in Co(OH) 2 synergistically accelerates water dissociation to ensure continuous hydrogen supply and optimizes *NOOH adsorption, reducing the energy barrier for the rate-limiting step (*NO 2 to *NOOH). To demonstrate practical viability, a membrane-electrode-assembly electrolyzer integrating NO 3 RR with glycerol oxidation reaction achieves highly effective co-production of NH 3 and formate alongside wastewater treatment. In conclusion, this work offers new insights into the rational design of electrocatalysts through in situ reconstruction-induced vacancy engineering for scalable and practical NO 3 RR applications.

Revisiting the Impact of Anion Selection on Sulfur Redox Reaction Kinetics for High Sulfur Loading Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Lithium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide (LiTFSI) is widely used in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery electrolytes due to its stability with lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and moderate compatibility with lithium metal anodes. However, LiTFSI presents environmental concerns due to its association with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are environmentally persistent and potentially toxic, raises sustainability concerns. This research also reveals that LiTFSI limits sulfur redox reactions (SRRs), making it less effective than other lithium salts. Additionally, some salts previously considered incompatible with Li-S systems due to their reactivity with LiPSs are demonstrated to perform effectively. For the first time, a protective, porous cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) formed in situ through reactions between salt anions and LiPS is reported. The cells delivered a high specific capacity of 1230.8 mAh g −1 at 0.05 C with a sulfur loading of ≈6 mg cm −2 , limited lithium anode, maintaining a capacity retention of 76.2% after 100 cycles at 0.1 C. Under harsh conditions, such as high sulfur loading, lean electrolyte conditions (3 µL mg −1 ), and in anode-free cells, the cells continued to deliver outstanding capacity. This work provides valuable guidelines for understanding and selecting lithium salts to advance electrolyte design for Li–S batteries.

Structural Phase Separation and Enhanced Superconductivity in La 1.875 Ba 0.125 CuO 4 Under Uniaxial Strain

Strain engineering has attracted significant attention in recent years due to its capability in tuning lattice and electronic structures of quantum materials. Using moderate uniaxial compressive strain, structural phase separation is induced in the low-temperature phase of x = 1/8 La 2-x Ba x CuO 4 (LBCO) single crystals. These structures are low temperature tetragonal (LTT), low temperature less orthorhombic (LTLO), and a plastically deformed nano-domain structure (PDNS), comprised of few-nanometer-sized orthorhombic domains within an amorphous matrix. These three structures exhibit distinct superconducting behaviors. The volume fraction of the LTT structure is suppressed with increasing strain, while its superconducting transition temperature increases and broadens. The LTLO structure exhibits a sharp superconducting transition above 32 K, which increases up to ≈ 36 K at maximum strain. The PDNS phase exhibits a very broad superconducting transition and persists even after removing the strain. This study illustrates the sensitivity of superconductivity to the structure of the LBCO sample near its stripe instability.

Rigid Supramolecular Aramid Nanotubes as Catalyst Supports

Solution‐phase heterogeneous catalysts benefit from nanoscale dimensions, which maximize specific surface area and enhance catalytic activity. However, the ease of recovering such nanocatalysts depends on the design of the support materials, which are often particle‐like. Rigid 1D nanomaterials are proposed as supports that can enhance separability while offering high volumetric specific surface area for greater catalyst loading and activity. Here, aramid amphiphiles (AAs) are designed to spontaneously self‐assemble in water into high‐aspect‐ratio supramolecular nanotubes with tunable surface chemistry. These AA nanotubes exhibit high persistence lengths (P = 750 ± 340 µm) and mechanical stiffnesses (3 N/m). Incorporating surface thiol groups enables immobilization of catalytic gold nanoparticles. The resulting AA nanotube‐gold nanoparticle complexes exhibit high catalytic activity, efficient recoverability via simple microfiltration, and sustained reusability over ten reaction cycles. This study demonstrates the utility of molecular self‐assembled 1D nanomaterials as versatile scaffolds for the reuse and recovery of nanoscale catalysts.

Proton Selective Nanoporous Atomically Thin Graphene Membranes for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries

Angstrom-scale proton-selective pores in atomically thin 2D materials present fundamentally new opportunities for advancing proton exchange membranes (PEMs). Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs) for grid-scale energy storage require PEMs with high areal proton conductance (>1 S cm −2 ) and minimal vanadium ion (VO 2+ ) crossover. However, state-of-the-art Nafion 212 membranes (N212 ≈50 µm thick), suffer from persistent VO 2+ crossover reducing performance and efficiency. Here, a layered PEM is demonstrated, comprising monolayer CVD graphene with Angstrom-scale proton-selective pores introduced via Ar plasma, integrated with an ultra-thin ≈300 nm polybenzimidazole (PBI) layer and sandwiched between two Nafion 211 (25 µm thick) layers. The layered architecture facilitates scalable membrane fabrication by mitigating defects while processing and facile stacking of graphene layers allows stochastic non-selective defect isolation enabling exceptionally low VO 2+ crossover (selectivity (H + areal conductance / VO 2+ permeability) ≈6709 × 10 6 S min cm −4 ), with proton conductance >8 S cm −2 . Systematic transport experiments supported by resistance-based transport modelling elucidate the role of defect size, defect isolation, and sealing, as well as layering/stacking, to enable orders of magnitude (>671× over N212) improvements in selectivity, along with areal proton conductance >8 S cm −2 . This work highlights the potential of atomic-scale proton-selective defect engineering in 2D materials, in conjunction with facile stacking and layering of materials as strategies for scalable, high-performance advances in PEMs for energy, electrochemical, and separation applications beyond VRFBs.

Phase Synergy Enables Low‐Power Ferroelectric Switching in HfO 2 Epitaxial Films

HfO 2 -based ferroelectric materials have emerged as leading candidates for next-generation non-volatile memory technologies, owing to their nanoscale robust ferroelectricity and complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) compatibility. However, challenges and debates persist in advancing and comprehensively understanding their ferroelectric behavior. In particular, conventional approaches typically regard non-ferroelectric phases as detrimental and primarily focus on suppressing their formation, yet overlooking their potentially synergistic contributions—particularly those of the tetragonal (T) phase. Here, we unambiguously clarify the beneficial role of the T-phase and introduce a phase-boundary engineering strategy that deliberately harnesses it to enhance ferroelectricity in HfO 2 films. By stabilizing optimal coherent boundaries between ferroelectric orthorhombic (O) and T phases in epitaxial La-doped HfO 2 films, we achieve significant improvements in ferroelectric properties—doubling the remanent polarization (P r ∼ 30 µC/cm 2 ) and substantially reducing the coercive field (E c ∼ 3 MV/cm) by 30% compared to low-La doped samples without such boundaries. Atomic-scale electron microscopy reveals the structural nature of the atomically sharp, coherent O–T boundaries. Combined with deep-learning enhanced molecular dynamics simulations, our results unravel that these boundaries facilitate intermediate polarization states that lower the switching energy barrier. Consequently, phase coexistence shifts from an inherent drawback to a tunable design element, offering a broadly applicable route to ultra-low-power HfO 2 -based nanoelectronics.

Adsorption-Engineered Hydrocarbon Ionomers for Durable Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Reducing reliance on perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in proton-exchange membrane fuel cells requires hydrocarbon ionomers that combine high performance with long-term durability, a persistent challenge in catalyst-layer design. Here, we identify oxidation-driven ionomer-catalyst interfacial degradation as a dominant failure pathway in hydrocarbon ionomer-bonded cathodes and introduce an adsorption-engineering strategy to overcome this limitation. The comparison of a commercial sulfonated poly(phenylene) (Pemion) with structurally engineered sulfonated poly(fluorene)s demonstrated that electrode durability is governed by the interplay between ionomer adsorption strength and resistance to oxidative degradation on carbon-supported Pt catalysts. A poly(fluorene) ionomer with mobile alkyl sulfonic acid groups forms resilient interfaces, delivering 1.28 A cm−2 at 0.65 V under fully humidified H2/air conditions (80°C and 150 kPaabs), comparable to Pemion. After 90,000 accelerated potential cycles, the poly(fluorene)-bonded cathode exhibits significantly improved durability, with only 29% performance loss compared to 58% for Pemion; further molecular refinement reduces the loss to 17%, approaching that of Nafion-bonded cathodes (14%). These findings establish adsorption-engineered ionomer design that decouples interfacial anchoring from oxidative degradation as a general strategy for achieving durable, high-performance PFAS-free PEM fuel cell electrodes.

Adaptive Scalpel Scanning Probe Microscopy for Enhanced Volumetric Sensing in Tomographic Analysis

Controlling nanoscale tip‐induced material removal is crucial for achieving atomic‐level precision in tomographic sensing with atomic force microscopy (AFM). While advances have enabled volumetric probing of conductive features with nanometer accuracy in solid‐state devices, materials, and photovoltaics, limitations in spatial resolution and volumetric sensitivity persist. This work identifies and addresses in‐plane and vertical tip‐sample junction leakage as sources of parasitic contrast in tomographic AFM, hindering real‐space 3D reconstructions. Novel strategies are proposed to overcome these limitations. First, the contrast mechanisms analyzing nanosized conductive features are explored when confining current collection purely to in‐plane transport, thus allowing reconstruction with a reduction in the overestimation of the lateral dimensions. Furthermore, an adaptive tip‐sample biasing scheme is demonstrated for the mitigation of a class of artefacts induced by the high electric field inside the thin oxide when volumetrically reduced. This significantly enhances vertical sensitivity by approaching the intrinsic limits set by quantum tunneling processes, allowing detailed depth analysis in thin dielectrics. The effectiveness of these methods is showcased in tomographic reconstructions of conductive filaments in valence change memory, highlighting the potential for application in nanoelectronics devices and bulk materials and unlocking new limits for tomographic AFM.

Orchestrating Spontaneous Emission With Metasurfaces: Recent Advances in Engineering Thermal, Luminescent, and Quantum Emissions

Metasurfaces have emerged as powerful tools for controlling spontaneous emission, offering unprecedented control over light-matter interactions at sub-wavelength scales. While metasurfaces are traditionally utilized for shaping coherent electromagnetic waves, they have recently extended their capabilities to control incoherent or spontaneous emission. This examines review how metasurfaces can enhance and precisely control properties of thermal, luminescent, and quantum emission. In thermal emission, metasurfaces enable control over spatial, temporal, and spin coherence, offering new possibilities for applications such as energy harvesting, radiative cooling and heat assisted ranging and detection. For luminescent emission, metasurfaces significantly improve emission rates, quantum efficiency, and directionality, driving innovations in lighting and display technologies. For controlling quantized spontaneous emission, metasurfaces are instrumental in enhancing single-photon sources and enabling novel functionalities in quantum states through photon-pair generation, which is vital for quantum communication, meteorology, and computing. Here, despite these advancements several challenges to increase the operational bandwidths, accelerate and develop simulation strategies, and fabrication complexities persist. Emerging trends are also discussed, such as dynamic metasurfaces and their integration with nanophotonic platforms, which could further expand the capabilities of light-emitting metasurfaces.
