Metal ions are ubiquitous in nature and play significant roles in assembling functional
materials in fields spanning chemistry, biology, and materials science. Metal–phenolic …

Phenolic materials have long been known for their use in inks, wood coatings, and leather
tanning. However, there has recently been a renewed interest in engineering advanced …

The weak interlamellar interaction of covalent organic framework (COF) nanocrystals inhibit
the construction of highly efficient ion/molecular sieving membranes owing to the inferior …

The remarkable progress in efforts to prepare conductive self-healing hydrogels mimicking
human skin's functions has been witnessed in recent years. However, it remains a great …

Metal-phenolic network (MPN) is a kind of supramolecular material formed by the
complexation of metal ions and organic ligands, and is widely used due to its extensive …

Superhydrophilic membranes have drawn much attention owing to their outstanding anti-
fouling performance and ultrahigh permeation flux for wastewater treatment and oil–water …

Here, we report a universal single‐atom coating (SAC) strategy by taking advantage of the
rich chemistry of tannic acid (TA). TA units not only self‐assemble into a cross‐linked porous …

Surface patterning of liquid metals (LMs) is a key processing step for LM‐based functional
systems. Current patterning methods are substrate specific and largely suffer from undesired …

Pyrogallol‐containing molecules are ubiquitous in the plant kingdom. The chemical
synthesis of these molecules remains challenging. Thus, they are obtained via purification …

Solar steam generation is a robust and environmentally friendly way to obtain fresh water
and alleviate the water shortage problem. Although a wide variety of steam generation …
