Breaking the Tradeoffs between Different Mechanical Properties in Bioinspired Hierarchical Lattice Metamaterials

“…The recent advancements in additive manufacturing technology have paved new avenues for achieving extraordinary mechanical properties in advanced metamaterials by architecting novel cell configurations. [ 11–14 ]…”

“…The recent advancements in additive manufacturing technology have paved new avenues for achieving extraordinary mechanical properties in advanced metamaterials by architecting novel cell configurations. [11][12][13][14] Over the last decade, a substantial body of research has been dedicated to exploring the design, fabrication, and microstructural characterization of lattice metamaterials for further enhancement of mechanical properties. Researchers have proposed novel designs, including hierarchical architectures, [15,16] dualphase hybrid hardening, [17,18] and topology gradient, [19,20] aimed at improving the mechanical performance of these metamaterials.…”

Biomimetic Seawater Evaporator Based on Organic 3D Light Capture and Suspension‐Protection Mechanism for In Situ Marine Cultivation

“…The emergence of innovative materials, such as black gold, hydrogels, and 2D materials, has significantly enriched the field of solar desalination. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Among various photothermal conversion materials, organic small molecule semiconductor materials, which convert light into heat through nonradiative decay, have demonstrated immense potential for solar-driven water evaporation. These materials offer unique benefits, such as low cost, renewability, lightweight nature, and customizable chemical structures.…”

Core–shell structures of Cu2O constructed by carbon quantum dots as high-performance zinc-ion battery cathodes

“…However, the structural and crystalline phase alterations, as well as the irreversible insertion of Zn 2+ in the body of the electrode usually generate structural collapse and rapid capacity decay, resulting in generally poor rate performance and short cycle life in AZIBs. 22 Therefore, the composition structure of conversion-type Cu-based materials needs to be further optimized. In contrast to the above-mentioned conversion-type Cu-based materials, Cu 2 O can be prepared by a simple one-pot method at room temperature and pressure (without heating and the use of hazardous chemicals).…”

“…Compounding with carbon materials is recognized as an effective and classical strategy to moderate the electrochemical properties of electrode materials. 22 It has been reported that carbon materials can regulate the structure of the space of Cu 2 O microcrystals and enhance their electrochemical properties. 23 For example, ppy as a support framework can form a core-shell structure with Cu-Cu 2 O and the composite exhibits excellent stability as an electrode for LIBs.…”
