Thermally conductive aligned cellulose/nanodiamond (CND) plastics were fabricated via gelation transition.

This review describes figures of merit, challenges and strategies during the development of solution-processable electrochromic materials and devices for large-area smart window applications.

A novel class of ordered mesoporous titania scaffolds prepared via colloidal lithography is attractive for perovskite-based solar cells thanks to the increased light-trapping inside the perovskite layer induced by the feedback structure and to the improved perovskite film.

A lead-free multiferroic ceramic of BiFe_0.96Sc_0.04O₃–BaTiO₃ is a type of ABO₃ perovskite structure, belonging to the R3c space group, but exhibiting poor insulation and weak multiferroicity.

An electric-field-induced strain in ferroelectric materials has extensive applications in actuators and sensors.

The electrochromic performance of a TiO₂/CdS film was first systematically studied. The TiO₂/CdS film exhibits multistage color switching under different potentials, improved optical contrast and half shortened coloration time. This work gains insight into inorganic EC materials from metal oxides to metal-chalcogenides.

Porous nanoribbons from gels may act as smart materials for applications in iodine absorption and fluorescence sensing for gaseous nitrobenzene, and could reversibly change its fluorescence color under shearing force and solvent annealing.

A new fluorescent supramolecular self-assembly gelator (1) based on naphthalimide derivative with a tetrazole group was designed and synthesized, which could respond multiple analytes.

The photophysics of three benzothiazole derivatives that exhibit excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) were investigated in a confined medium afforded by the water soluble supramolecular host octaacid (OA).
