However, existing interconnection methods face critical challenges, including thermal damage from high-temperature welding, complicated chemical processing, and inadequate mechanical bonding, which often lead to interfacial deformation and electrical failure. Here, we introduce a room-temperature direct interconnection (RTDI) technique that leverages hydrogen bonding and molecular chain entanglement to form robust, solder-free, multichannel interfaces between soft and rigid modules. The resulting interface achieves an exceptional mechanical bonding strength of 210.4 N m<sup>−1</sup> (24.7-fold higher than conventional silver paste), and an electrical stretchability of 173.6% with relatively stable resistance at 110% strain. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate the RTDI technique in two applications: multi-channel interconnections for stretchable displays and vertical chip integration for logic-controlled display systems. Owing to its simplicity and scalability, this method provides a powerful pathway for advancing multifunctional hybrid electronic integration.</p><p>\u0000 <figure>\u0000 <div><picture>\u0000 <source></source></picture><p></p>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </figure></p>","PeriodicalId":48538,"journal":{"name":"Infomat","volume":"8 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/inf2.70097","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147569984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, the concentration of oxygen vacancies (<i>V</i><sub>O</sub>) and the degree of lattice distortion in spinel oxides were successfully regulated by implementing a heteroatom doping strategy, which enhanced the structural stability as well as the optimization of the permittivity. However, the description of the polarization mechanisms in spinel structures is currently unclear. Therefore, carbon cloth (CC) surface was constructed with modified spinel structure to form nanosheet arrays (C@NMC). Localized electronic reconfiguration and altered spinel configurations were achieved by modulating manganese (Mn) substitution at specific metal sites. The lattice distortion activated dipole polarization, which increased the permittivity of the CC material to twice its original value. As a result, Mn–doped C@NMC samples (C@NMC–0.2) demonstrate a reflection loss (RL) of −63.40 dB (2.06 mm) and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.80 GHz. This work achieves precise regulation of dielectric properties through atomic–level defect engineering, while establishing a synergistic model between structural stability and polarization paths at the experimental level.

Concurrently, near-surface Se doping forms O-transition metal (TM)-Se bonds that narrow the bandgap between Mn 3d and O 2p orbitals, thereby stabilizing lattice oxygen, suppressing Mn dissociation and structural deterioration. The near-surface reconstructed Se-LNMO cathode exhibits exceptional long-term cycling stability at high rates with a 0.018% capacity decay rate per cycle after 2000 cycles at 5C, outperforming previously reported LNMO materials.

Eight representative sensing mechanisms are systematically analyzed, including ionic piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric and triboelectric effects (migration-electronic), as well as ionic diode, potentiometric transduction, nanofluidic and coupled nanofluidic–potentiometric transduction mechanisms (emerging iontronic). The basic force-electric response principles of each type of sensor have been described, combining theoretical derivation formulas followed by a comparative analysis of advantages, disadvantages, and key performance indicators, which have both comprehensiveness and originality. Furthermore, we highlight advanced engineering approaches integrating ionic transport materials, flexible substrates, and novel electrodes to enhance sensitivity, stability, and multi-modal responsiveness.

Previous approaches to address this, such as incorporating internal standards (ISs), often sacrificed sensitivity for uniformity or lacked a clear analytical basis for accurate quantification. Here, a novel approach of integrating MoS<sub>2</sub> into a SERS platform is introduced, with a focus on mitigating spot-to-spot relative standard deviation (RSD) and improving quantification accuracy. While maintaining the well-known enhanced sensitivity of MoS<sub>2</sub>, the Raman signal from a uniform monolayer is utilized to calibrate signal variations. As a result, the platform achieves the lowest RSD (5.29%) among MoS<sub>2</sub>-based systems, while offering the highest level of sensitivity in rhodamine 6G (R6G) measurements. For albumin, the target proteinuria biomarker, MoS<sub>2</sub>-based normalization outperforms conventional wafer-based methods and achieves a 42% RSD reduction over non-normalization because the atomic thickness MoS<sub>2</sub> enables precise plasmonic calibration. Furthermore, a consistent, exponential relationship between MoS<sub>2</sub> signal intensity and albumin concentration is discovered. Quantification trends are consequently highly predictable, resulting in a 4.8-fold increase in data separability. This quantification approach is shown to be effective for albumin mixed in artificial urine under various laser conditions, highlighting the practical potential of our platform for early-stage monitoring of biomarkers.</p><p>\u0000 <figure>\u0000 <div><picture>\u0000 <source></source></picture><p></p>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </figure></p>","PeriodicalId":48538,"journal":{"name":"Infomat","volume":"8 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/inf2.70088","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147564225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A systematic comparison between ternary D:NFA:FA systems, with different components and compositions, and D:NFA:NFA systems was conducted. In all systems, the open-circuit voltage increased with a higher fullerene ratio, correlating with the fullerene's LUMO position, indicating its involvement in charge transfer (CT) state formation. Various analytical methods and simulations reveal that the investigated D:NFA:FA systems follow an alloy model, where the CT state is delocalized over both acceptors, even in systems with strong surface energy differences between the acceptors. Notably, recombination behavior is largely unaffected by the nature of the third component and is primarily linked to the CT state energy.

However, the formation of MOF glasses usually requires the melt-quenching of molten MOFs from relatively high temperatures.

Herein, we demonstrate a direct crystal-to-glass transition in HKUST-1 MOF that has been achieved at room temperature and a relatively low pressure of <1.0 GPa. The dramatic fall in the required pressure is shown to arise from the aggregation of coordinated polar water molecules to form water clusters that exhibit a pulling effect on the Cu–O<sub>(ligand)</sub> bonds. Meanwhile, the departed fragment gets flipped unfavorably to prevent further regeneration of the bond. Accordingly, a grain boundary-free continuous porous framework in the glassy state is successfully formed and can be fabricated into membranes.
