This work is led by Prof. Dr. Aimin Zhang (Sichuan University) and co-workers. Prof. Zhang’s research centers on polymer structure and properties, thermoplastic elastomers, and polymer composite materials. This work designs a flexible SEBS/MXene Janus fibrous membrane that generates a piezoelectric output of up to 28 V and 133 nA under mechanical pressure, enabling self‑powered humidity sensing with fast response/recovery (0.79/0.35 s), while also exhibiting a low infrared emissivity of 32% for adaptive camouflage, achieving a multifunctional integration of energy harvesting, sensing, and stealth in a single material platform.

This work is led by Prof. Dr. Gui-Lin Chen (Fujian Normal University) and co-workers. Prof. Chen’s research centers on new energy harvesting, conversion and storage. This study presents a passive 7-stage solar distiller that integrates latent heat recovery, water recycling, and edge salt rejection, achieving a water yield of 3.0 kg m⁻² h⁻¹ under one-sun irradiation and reducing soil salinity from 22.5 to 2.33 g kg⁻¹ in 30 cm-thick saline soil within 12 days, demonstrating ultra-efficient and low-water‑consumption saline soil desalination.

This work is led by Prof. Dr. Gui-Lin Chen (Fujian Normal University) and co-workers. Prof. Chen’s research centers on novel inorganic thin-film solar cell. This article proposes a confined-space annealing strategy that combines physical confinement to suppress Sb₂S₃ re‑volatilization and controlled oxygen doping to passivate sulfur vacancies, achieving a 60.9% reduction in VS defects and 40.3% improvement in carrier collection. The resulting carbon‑based Sb₂S₃ solar cell delivers a record power conversion efficiency of 7.17% (VOC = 750 mV, JSC = 14.26 mA cm⁻², FF = 62.7%) under ambient atmosphere fabrication.
