Unique microneedle arrays prepared from crosslinked polymers, which contain no drug themselves, are described. They rapidly take up skin interstitial fluid upon skin insertion to form continuous, unblockable, hydrogel conduits from attached patch-type drug reservoirs to the dermal microcirculation. ...

Due to their high ionic conductivity and adeciduate mechanical features for lamination, sulfide composites have received increasing attention as solid electrolyte in all-solid-state batteries. Their smaller electronegativity and binding energy to Li ions and bigger atomic radius provide high ionic c...

Abstract Lacking strategies to simultaneously address the intrinsic activity, site density, electrical transport, and stability problems of chalcogels is restricting their application in catalytic hydrogen production. Herein, we resolve these challenges concurrently through chemically activating the...

A family of 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides known as MXenes has received increasing attention since the discovery of Ti 3 C 2 in 2011. To date, about 30 different MXenes with well‐defined structures and properties have been synthesized, and many more are theoretically predicted to exist. D...

Abstract Cesium tin chloride (CsSnCl 3 ) is a potential and competitive absorber material for lead-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The full potential of CsSnCl 3 not yet been realized owing to the possible challenges of defect-free device fabrication, non-optimized alignment of the electron tran...

We measured the proton conductivity of bulk graphite oxide (GO'), a graphene oxide/proton hybrid (GO-H), and a graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet for the first time. GO is a well-known electronic insulator, but for proton conduction we observed the reverse trend, as it exhibited superionic conductivity. ...

The development of next-generation electronics requires scaling of channel material thickness down to the two-dimensional limit while maintaining ultralow contact resistance 1,2 . Transition-metal dichalcogenides can sustain transistor scaling to the end of roadmap, but despite a myriad of efforts, ...
