Fast Hydrogel Micro‐Actuators Driven by Electric Fields
ABSTRACT Electrically‐driven hydrogels are crosslinked, charged polymer networks that can deform in an electric field, prompted by osmotic pressure changes. To date, such actuators generally suffer from sluggish response time, with equilibrium actuation times ranging from minutes...

Efficient Acidic CO 2 Reduction via Local Strain Engineering of Nickel Single‐Atom Catalysts
ABSTRACT Acidic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) enhances carbon efficiency and electrolyzer stability. Although nickel single‐atom catalysts (Ni‐SACs) effectively convert CO 2 into CO in neutral/alkaline conditions, their performance in acid is hindered by the competing hydroge...
