Superior Impact‐Resistant Composite Hydrogels Through an Ionic Coupling Strategy
04/04/2026 - An ionic coupling strategy is developed to simultaneously reinforce networks and interfaces in composite hydrogels. Sodium citrate acts as a single multifunctional ionic coupler to strengthen the...
A Universal Janus Biopolymer Separator Enabled Dual‐Interfacial Regulation Toward Dendrite‐Free and Shuttle‐Free Zinc‐Iodine Batteries
29/03/2026 - At the Zn anode side, abundant carboxyl groups in the sodium alginate layer strongly coordinate Zn2+ to regulate deposition/diffusion, while electrostatically repelling polyiodides to suppress Zn...
Coagulation‐Independent Hemostasis Through Architecturally Programmed Chitosan Aerogels with Dual‐Crosslinked Networks
21/03/2026 - Hierarchically structured, dual‐crosslinked chitosan aerogels stop severe bleeding even when clotting is impaired. Blood rapidly wicks through aligned pores, unlocking a programmed “elastic...
