Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) is capable of extracting water vapour using sorbent materials across a broad spectrum of relative humidity, opening new avenues to address water scarcity faced by two-thirds of the population of the world. Although substantial progress has been made, there is still a considerable barrier between fundamental research and real-world applications. In this Review, we provide a multiscale perspective for SAWH technologies that can fill existing knowledge gaps across multiple length scales. First, we elucidate water sorption mechanisms at the molecular level, approaches to understanding sorbent materials, and water transport phenomena. With microscopic insights, we bridge materials innovations to device realization, discuss strategies to enhance device-level sorption kinetics and heat transfer performance, and show that a multiscale design and optimization strategy can lead to a new opportunity space towards system thermodynamic limits. Finally, we provide an outlook for the technoeconomic, social and environmental impact of large-scale SAWH as a global water technology. By bridging materials to devices, we envision that this multiscale perspective can guide next-generation SAWH technologies and facilitate a broader impact on society and the environment. Harvesting freshwater from the air using water sorption materials is an innovative strategy to address water scarcity. This Review offers a multiscale perspective to design the next generation of sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting technology by bridging materials innovations to device realization and provides practical guidelines to understand its real-world impact.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"9 10","pages":"681-698"},"PeriodicalIF":79.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140817966","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}

Although Landau level-based flat bands and conventional 3D solids have been pivotal in exploring rich topological phenomena, they are constrained by their limited ability to undergo dynamic tuning. By stark contrast, moiré systems have risen as a versatile platform for engineering bands and manipulating the distribution of Berry curvature in momentum space. These moiré systems not only harbour tunable topological bands, modifiable through a plethora of parameters, but also provide unprecedented access to large length scales and low energy scales. Furthermore, they offer unique opportunities stemming from the symmetry-breaking mechanisms and electron correlations associated with the underlying flat bands that are beyond the reach of conventional crystalline solids. A diverse array of tools, encompassing quantum electron transport in both linear and nonlinear response regimes and optical excitation techniques, provide direct avenues for investigating Berry physics in these materials. This Review navigates the evolving landscape of tunable moiré materials, highlighting recent experimental breakthroughs in the field of topological physics. Additionally, we delineate the most pressing challenges and offer insights into promising avenues for future research. Moiré materials are a versatile and tunable platform that offers a wide variety of lattice constants, energy scales and symmetries, leading to a rich interplay of electron correlations and topology. This Review summarizes recent breakthroughs in topological and Berry physics in moiré materials.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"9 7","pages":"481-498"},"PeriodicalIF":79.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140651680","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}

Memristive devices fabricated by solution-processing methods can be integrated into a wide variety of large-area substrates, which has motivated their use in applications requiring flexible, stretchable, transparent and biocompatible devices. Several studies on solution-processed memristors have claimed excellent electrical performance; however, in many cases such claims are based on scarce measurements conducted on only one device, using unreliable testing protocols or using device structures that are too large for the target applications. Understanding the reliability of a memristive structure is important to avoid hyped expectations, attract potential investments in such technology, and realistically understand its potential impact on society and on the market. In this Perspective, we analyse which solution-processed memristors have so far exhibited the highest and most reliable electronic performance, irrespective of the type of material used and the application targeted. For that group of memristors, we also discuss the switching mechanism and potential applications, as well as possible improvements in terms of device technology. We describe the outlook of this field with aims of increasing the impact and technology readiness of solution-processed memristors. Memristive devices are emerging within the semiconductor industry. Solution-processed memristors present alternatives for flexible, transparent and low-cost applications. This Perspective reviews solution-processed memristors focusing on the reliability of their electrical performance, aiming to increase impact and technology readiness.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"9 5","pages":"358-373"},"PeriodicalIF":83.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140550484","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}
