Our previous work to date entailed reacting Ti-precursors (e.g., TiB₂, TiOSO₄, TiN, TiC, etc.) with the quaternary ammonium compound (quat) tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) for tens of hours under ambient pressures at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 80°C. Herein, we expand the list of quats that result in 1DL NFs to tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAH), tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAH), tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH), and choline hydroxide (ChoH). We also show that tetrabutylphosphonium hydroxide (TBPH) can be used to the same end result. These quats and TBPH are less toxic than TMAH, especially Cho⁺, which is fully biocompatible. And, while all the quats and TBPH result in the same 1D product, their de-flocculation in various organic solvents is different. Reacting with less polar quats (e.g., TBA) and washing with less polar solvents (e.g., dichloromethane) favors the formation of porous mesostructured particles. 2D structures are favored if the opposite is chosen. Said otherwise, by the judicious choice of a quat (e.g., TPAH) and solvent (e.g., <em>tert</em>-butanol) combination, we produced stable 1DL colloidal suspensions in dimethyl sulfoxide, methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, isopropyl alcohol, butanol, and acetone. This enhanced colloidal stability is critical in applications in coatings, inks, and catalytic systems where non-aqueous stable dispersions are paramount. The high band-gap energies, E_g, measured (3.8–3.9 eV) confirm quantum confinement. The E_g are also quite insensitive to <em>d</em> spacings between the 2D sheets. These 1DLs exhibit significant adsorption and dye (rhodamine 6G) degradation capabilities. For example, TEA-1DL colloidal suspensions adsorb 64% of the dye in the dark in about 5 min and decolorize 99% of the remaining dye within 30 min under the irradiance of one sun.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"8 7","pages":"Article 102260"},"PeriodicalIF":17.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144523023","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}

However, hypersonic vehicles face severe flow disturbances that can degrade their structural integrity by generating high temperatures and acoustic loads. In this work, we investigate phononic metamaterials (PMs) as a novel approach for stabilizing these disturbances. PMs are engineered materials that exhibit frequency ranges, known as band gaps, where wave propagation is significantly inhibited. Our findings show that these band gaps effectively mitigate unsteadiness in hypersonic shockwave/boundary-layer interactions (SWBLIs). Specifically, we analyze a bilayer PM subsurface exposed to a Mach 7.2 cylinder-induced SWBLI, comparing its performance to a rigid wall control. Spectral analysis reveals that the PM selectively attenuates disturbances and significantly stabilizes flow structures away from the fluid-PM interface. These results highlight PMs as a transformative technology for enhancing hypersonic vehicle resilience and enabling reusable hypersonic systems, paving the way for safer, more efficient hypersonic flight.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"8 7","pages":"Article 102089"},"PeriodicalIF":17.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144522979","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}

However, the unique physicochemical characteristics of iodine—such as low sublimation temperatures, high electronegativity, and chemical instability—have posed challenges for its reliable synthesis.

Preparing two-dimensional (2D) non-centrosymmetric oxides is a prerequisite for on-chip integration but is challenging due to multi-element components and strong interlayer interactions. Here, we develop a thermal-expansion-difference-driven high-pressure strategy for synthesizing 2D non-centrosymmetric MnTeMoO₆ with extraordinary nonlinear optical properties. By utilizing the large thermal expansion mismatch between copper and graphite, the growth space is squeezed to a tiny slit with a high pressure of up to 20 MPa. This process reduces reaction activation energy and the precursor mean free path, yielding ultrathin flakes (down to two-unit cells) with uniform stoichiometry. The layer-parity-independent non-centrosymmetric structure of 2D MnTeMoO₆ results in one of the strongest second-harmonic generations among 2D oxides, with its second-order nonlinear susceptibility approaching the theoretical limit. This work not only offers a novel method to grow multi-element 2D oxides but also provides material platforms for miniaturized nonlinear optics.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144516248","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}

However, reliance on simplistic configurations restricts the understanding of deformation behavior and the versatility of adaptive systems. Here, we demonstrate geometrically guided actuation of hydrogel pores by controlling folding dynamics. Unlike non-faceted circular pores that exhibit randomized folding, hinges in faceted pores direct folding along predefined vertices, enabling control over the degree of constriction and restoration of the pores. By systematically designing key geometrical factors, such as the shape, dimensions, and spatial proximity to neighboring units, we effectively regulate shape transformation, aided by classical plate theory and finite element analysis. The resulting geometry-dependent adaptable topologies enable controlled entrapment and sequential release of microparticles, as well as information encryption through fine-tuned and localized pore actuation. This approach to adaptive micropore actuation controlled by facet-driven folding opens new possibilities for developing microactuators, particularly in applications requiring precise microobject manipulation.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"149 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144516257","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}

In this study, we introduce a novel nanomotor-assisted ultrafiltration (UF) system for highly selective and efficient removal of micropollutants. These nanomotors, engineered by encapsulating catalase (CAT) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzymes within ZIF-8 metal-organic frameworks, exhibit self-propulsion and catalytic oxidation capabilities. In treating phenolic pollutant-contaminated water, ZIF-8 acts as a protective and selective gate that shields enzymes from background interference and enriches hydrophobic phenolic compounds (XLogP &gt; 2), enabling up to 99.5% removal efficiency by selective oxidation of targeted species. Notably, HRP-mediated oxidation generates phenoxy radicals, which couple and polymerize into hydrophobic oligomers that bind to the ZIF-8 surface and are effectively separated via low-pressure UF. This system minimizes energy input while leveraging enzymatic polymerization as a natural pathway for pollutant transformation, paving the way for advanced oxidation-filtration technologies as a sustainable solution for water treatment.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"604 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144319977","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}
