However, the crystalline polymer often exhibits the vigorous self-assembly process due to the extensive inter- and intra-molecular interactions, leading to the challenge in controlling their self-assembly behavior at the nanoscale. Herein, this work proposes a competing self-assembly strategy to regulate the molecular self-assembly tendency of chitin (a semi-crystalline polysaccharide) for achieving the regenerated chitin nanofibers with helical structure. This approach focuses on subtly modulating the noncovalent interactions among the chitin chains through deacetylation in a homogeneous system. By fine-tuning the degree of deacetylation (DD) to a moderate level (≈26%–37%), this work facilitates the chitin chains to compete self-assembling into the α-chitin and hydrated chitosan crystalline structure, which effectively mitigates the overall self-assembly tendency of the chitin chains and ultimately restricting their aggregations to nanoscale dimensions. This fabrication concept achieves various chitin nanofibers morphology (single, randomly branched and comb-like), all featuring a helical configuration. The chitin nanofibers are successfully processed into the nanopaper and bioink, highlighting the potential in constructing high-performance materials. This work anticipates that the competing self-assembly concept can be extended to other crystalline polymers with strong molecular interactions, offering a new pathway to design advanced nanomaterials for diverse applications.","PeriodicalId":112,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Functional Materials","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143518423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can efficiently capture infrared light to achieve a surprising 23-fold performance improvement over CoAl-LDH under the simulated sunlight illumination.

To address these limitations, a spectrally selective modulator is pioneered that synergistically integrates radiative cooling with electrochromic tunability. The proposed modulator achieves spectrally selective emissivity modulation, demonstrating a remarkable emissivity change (Δ<i>ɛ</i><sub>max</sub> = 0.76) within infrared detection bands (3–5 µm and 8–14 µm) while preserving high emissivity (<i>ɛ</i><sub>max</sub> = 0.79) in non-detection bands for passive heat dissipation. Multispectral operability is further evidenced by dynamic diffuse reflectivity control (<i>R</i><sub>lowest</sub> = 0.07/0.05 across visible and near-infrared band) and terahertz absorptivity modulation (Δ<i>A</i><sub>max</sub> = 0.66), enabling full-spectrum adaptive concealment. The device achieves ≈10 °C apparent temperature modulation without external heating, effectively disguising a 70 °C target as 40 °C.
