However, traditional hydrogel evaporators suffer from weak mechanical strength and the trade-off between high evaporation rates and salt resistance, which limits their practical applications. Inspired by the unique water transport mechanism of natural reed, we construct a cellulose nanofiber-enhanced hydrogel evaporator with a hierarchical gradient pore structure. Microscale surface roughening design in hydrogel emulates leaf stomatal transpiration, enhancing light absorption while maintaining high vapor escape efficiency. Its bottom-to-top gradient pores enable rapid capillary-driven water transport and sustained interfacial supply, achieving efficient thermal-mass balanced evaporation. More importantly, the bilayered gradient hierarchical structure enables directional salt diffusion back to bulk water, effectively preventing salt crystallization. As a result, the hydrogel evaporator achieves an optimal evaporation rate of 2.61 kg m-2 h-1 under 1 sun. In a 20 wt% NaCl solution, a stable evaporation rate can be maintained without salt deposition. Moreover, the hydrogel evaporator is able to remove more than 99% of the primary metal ions from seawater and almost completely remove the dye ions from the dye solution. This work demonstrates a promising application in seawater desalination and dyeing wastewater treatment.","PeriodicalId":87,"journal":{"name":"Materials Horizons","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145074395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The complex oral environment limits the efficacy of conventional antibacterial and anticalculus agents in preventing calculus formation. Inspired by statherin's mineral-binding properties, a peptide-polymer conjugate SNA6-PEG-TCS (DPT) was synthesized comprising a mineral-binding peptide (SNA6), antifouling polyethylene glycol (PEG) and antibacterial triclosan (TCS). DPT exhibits high water solubility and eradicates 88.71% of plaque while simultaneously inhibiting plaque formation and spontaneous precipitation of calcium/phosphorus ions. Additionally, DPT selectively binds to the enamel surface, forming a protective coating that blocks proteins, bacteria, and ionic deposition. Topical DPT application significantly reduces in vivo plaque formation while preserving oral microbiota homeostasis and causing no mucosal damage.

Discovery of new superionic conductors has traditionally relied on insights from material defect chemistry and the transition/hopping theory, while the role of lattice vibrations, i.e., phonons, remains underexplored. We identify key lattice dynamics signatures that govern ionic conductivity by analyzing the phonon mean squared displacement (MSD) of Na+ ions. By high-throughput screening of a dataset of 3903 Na-containing structures, we establish a strong positive correlation between phonon MSD and diffusion coefficients, providing a quantitative correlation between lattice dynamics and ion transport. To accelerate this discovery, we incorporate machine learning (ML) into our screening workflow, using phonon-derived descriptors to rapidly predict ionic transport properties across a broad structural space. Our findings reveal that low acoustic cutoff phonon frequencies, low center vibrational density of states of Na+ ions, slightly higher than the acoustic cutoff frequencies, and enhanced low-frequency vibrational coupling between Na+ ions and the host sublattice promote superionic conductivity. Phonon mode analysis further demonstrates that only a small subset of low-frequency acoustic and optic modes contribute dominantly to large phonon MSDs and Na+ ion migration, while higher-energy modes contribute negligibly. These insights enable the integration of lattice dynamics descriptors, phonon MSD, Na+ VDOS center, acoustic cutoff frequency, and low-frequency phonon coupling into machine learning frameworks, accelerating the discovery and rational design of high-performance sodium superionic conductors.","PeriodicalId":87,"journal":{"name":"Materials Horizons","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145074455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, most eutectogels suffer from poor mechanical strength and toughness, as well as pronounced hygroscopicity. Herein, a strategy is proposed to fabricate heterostructure eutectogels exhibiting exceptional integrated properties. Concretely, a hydrophilic/hydrophobic heteronetwork eutectogel was formed by polymerization-induced micro-phase separation in a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent. The hydrophilic poly(hydroxyethyl acrylate) (PHEA) phase forms a hard phase that shows significantly enhanced mechanical strength; the hydrophobic poly(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl acrylate) (PTFEA) and poly(lauryl methacrylate) (PLMA) phases serve as the soft phase, improving toughness and water resistance. Adjusting the phase ratio yields a transparent eutectogel with suitable tensile strength (0.26 MPa), stretchability (elongation at break of 1265%), excellent ionic conductivity and anti-swelling in seawater. This superior comprehensive performance resulted from the tunable phase-separated structure, and it enabled a flexible touch sensor for accurate real-time undersea communications and smart alarms, as well as the motion-mapped self-closing and self-rotating of a robotic arm. This work advances eutectogel design through structure-property engineering.","PeriodicalId":87,"journal":{"name":"Materials Horizons","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145074423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assess here the conductivity and its distance-resilience in doped polythiophene films with alkyl and oligoether side chains. We find that the polymers with oligoether side chains retain 80-90% of the conductivity over five orders of magnitude in distance (from tens of nanometers to millimeters), when doped with 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ). For P(g42T-T) co-processed with F4TCNQ, this leads to an over 100 times enhanced long-range conductivity (43 S cm-1) compared to doped poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT, 0.2 S cm-1). Optimization of the oligoether side chain length and doping protocol pushes the conductivity to 330 S cm-1. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of nanoscale terahertz conductivity data reveal that the local mobility of the doped P(g42T-T):F4TCNQ film benefits from a higher dielectric constant (reduced Coulomb binding to the ionized dopant) and from lower energetic disorder. Those benefits persist on the macroscopic scale, while spatial charge confinement and a lack of connectivity hinder the long-range transport of moderately doped P3HT:F4TCNQ. However, strongly doping P3HT using magic blue leads to enhanced conductivity with distance-resilience >80%. The distance-resilience is generalized for different polymer:dopant systems once a highly conductive regime (>30 S cm-1) is reached. This highlights an effective strategy to overcome limitations in terms of electrostatic binding and multi-scale polymer ordering, enhancing both the short-range and the long-range conductivity of doped conjugated polymers.","PeriodicalId":87,"journal":{"name":"Materials Horizons","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12439127/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145068699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
