A scalable method for fabricating architected materials well-suited for heat and mass exchange is presented. These materials exhibit unprecedented combinations of small hydraulic diameters (13.0-0.09 mm) and large hydraulic-diameter-to-thickness ratios (5.0-30,100). This process expands the range of material architectures achievable starting from photopolymer waveguide lattices or additive manufacturing.

Conducting polymer hydrogels with inherent flexibility, ionic conductivity and environment friendliness are promising materials in the fields of energy storage. However, a trade-off between mechanical and electrochemical properties has limited the development of flexible/stretchable conducting polymer hydrogel electrodes, owing to the intrinsic conflict among mechanical and electrical phases. Here, we report a reliable design to enable conducting polymer with both exceptional mechanical and electrical/electrochemical performance through the construction of bi-continuous conducting polymer crosslinked network.

Bicontinuous emulsion gels (bijels) are nonequilibrium dispersed systems with particle-stabilized continuous fluid domains, and the internal connectivity of channels brings the possibility of efficient mass transport, endowing bijels great potential in diverse applications. Different from the common method to produce bijels, the spinodal decomposition, which needs precise temperature control and is restricted by the selection of liquid pairs, in this work, a direct mixing method was performed to construct bijels, simplifying the fabrication process. The hydrophilic rod-shaped cellulose nanocrystalline (CNC) particles were in situ combined with the hydrophobic polymer, aminopropyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS-NH), to acquire a controllable interfacial wettability of CNC.

Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) relies on simultaneous reflection of sunlight and radiation toward cold outer space. Current designs of PDRC coatings have demonstrated potential as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional electrical air conditioning (AC). While many features of PDRC have been individually optimized in different studies, for practical impact, it is essential for a system to demonstrate excellence in all essential aspects, like the materials that nature has created.

Lubricant-impregnated surfaces (LIS) are promising as efficient liquid-repellent surfaces, which comprise a surface lubricant layer stabilized by base solid structures. However, the lubricant layer is susceptible to depletion upon exposure to degrading stimuli, leading to the loss of functionality. Lubricant depletion becomes even more pronounced in exposed outdoor conditions, restricting LIS to short-term lab-scale applications.

The rapid development of electrochemical CO reduction offers a promising route to convert intermittent renewable energy into products of high value-added fuels or chemical feedstocks. However, low faradaic efficiency, low current density, and a narrow potential range still limit the large-scale application of CORR electrocatalysts. Herein, monolith 3D bi-continuous nanoporous bismuth (np-Bi) electrodes are fabricated via a simple one-step electrochemical dealloying strategy from Pb-Bi binary alloy.
