Printed thermoelectric materials have emerged as promising candidates for large-scale manufacturing due to their low cost, design flexibility, and tunable microstructures. Advances in ink formulation, printable materials, and printing technologies have enabled the fabrication of a wide range of organic, inorganic, and hybrid thermoelectric materials and devices. Despite these advances, challenges remain, including achieving optimal ink rheology, attaining a high thermoelectric figure of merit, maintaining microstructural uniformity, and ensuring stable generator performance after printing. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments in printed thermoelectric materials and devices. It begins by introducing the fundamentals of the thermoelectric effect, key ink properties, and strategies for ink optimization. The discussion then shifts to material performance across various printing techniques and material classes, outlining approaches for further enhancement. Additional factors, such as post-treatment processes, substrate selection, and electrode design are also explored. Finally, practical applications, including sensors, coolers, energy harvesters, and biomedical devices, are highlighted. By linking ink formulation and device engineering with real-world applications, this review offers a roadmap for advancing the development and deployment of printed thermoelectric technologies.

Hydrogen is expected to play a crucial role in the transition to a low‑carbon energy system, in which membrane-based technologies are critical for its efficient production, distribution, and utilization. From a materials-focused perspective, this review examines a broad range of hydrogen-selective membranes, including palladium alloys, zeolites, carbon molecular sieves, metal–organic frameworks and covalent–organic frameworks, two‑dimensional membranes, polymeric films, and mixed‑matrix membranes. We systematically summarize their performance in terms of permeability, selectivity, and chemical and mechanical stability, and compare the current state-of-the-art benchmarks. General synthesis strategies, key material modifications, and their effects on gas transport properties and operational robustness under realistic conditions are thoroughly discussed. Additionally, we address critical challenges related to scale-up, long-term durability, and compatibility with diverse hydrogen production technologies. To bridge the gap between laboratory development and industrial application, material design must be aligned with scalable fabrication, standardized performance evaluation, and system-level integration. By emphasizing both material innovation and practical implementation, this review outlines how efficient membrane technologies can realize a sustainable, low-carbon hydrogen economy.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as promising technology for harvesting mechanical energy from diverse sources, including human motion, vibrations, and environmental forces. Layered or two-dimensional materials, such as MXenes, graphene, carbon nanotubes, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), have gained significant attention for their ability to enhance TENG performance through tailored electronic properties, surface functionalization, and structural modifications. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in TENGs utilizing layered materials, discussing their material design, triboelectric behavior, and integration strategies. Theoretical models explaining charge transfer mechanisms, charge trapping effects, and energy conversion efficiency are critically analyzed. Additionally, challenges related to material degradation, wear, environmental stability, and scalability are addressed, along with potential solutions, such as self-healing tribolayers and advanced energy management circuits. By bridging material science and triboelectric nanogenerator technology, this review highlights future directions for the development of high-performance, durable, and sustainable energy harvesting systems.

A decade of research combining multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) and possessing unique effects has generated considerable anticipated and unexpected insights related to the deformation behavior and properties of these alloys. Processing by HPT offers a simple route for obtaining nanostructured grains, thereby overcoming the long-standing issue of the low yield strength in face-centered cubic (FCC) MPEAs. This review provides the first comprehensive report on the HPT processing‒structure‒property relationship in the realm of FCC MPEAs. It casts light on the breakdown of the conventional stacking fault energy‒deformation mechanism correlation for HPT-processed FCC MPEAs, the unexpected occurrence of deformation-induced phase transformations and it clarifies the role of different material-specific as well as processing-dependent factors dictating the grain refinement down to the nanoscale regime. Additionally, a detailed discussion is presented on the potential of HPT processing to achieve outstanding mechanical properties for FCC MPEAs. The multifunctional aspects of the nanostructured FCC MPEAs are critically examined from the viewpoint of their high temperature stability, corrosion resistance and susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement. Accordingly, this review provides a pathway for future research by highlighting the key research gaps and the opportunities for niche industrial applications of FCC MPEAs processed using HPT.

Defective carbon-based materials (DCMs) have recently been considered as one of the most promising alternatives to precious metal catalysts owing to abundance, high conductivity and tunable molecular structures. The presence of topological defects as non-hexagonal rings (e.g., pentagons, heptagons, octagons) in carbon materials would affect the catalytic activity, however, the in-depth understanding of the fundamental relationship between topological defects and catalytic properties is still in its infancy. In addition, the facile synthesis strategy, exploitation and application of topological-defect carbon are still a big challenge. To this end, in this review, four main aspects including synthetic strategies, recognition, catalytic applications, and activity origin of topological-defect carbon are analyzed. The catalytic mechanism of intrinsic topological defects is revealed from theoretical and experimental perspectives. Moreover, the functional role of topological defects beyond intrinsic catalysis is further explored, highlighting their potential as anchoring sites and electronic modulators for metal single atoms or clusters, which synergistically enhance catalytic performance. Finally, the key problem faced by topological defects of carbon-based materials is discussed and the countermeasure is proposed. Undoubtedly, this systematical review will promote the understanding of the carbon-based defect and further stimulate its application as sustainable nonprecious metal catalysts in energy conversion and beyond.

The nanoconfinement effect inherent in silicate minerals has attracted significant interest for applications in functional materials. The unique nanoconfined space within these minerals function as distinctive nanoreactors, enabling the tuning of material geometric construction and spatial coordination environments, enhancing the transformation and migration rates as well as selectivity of ions and molecules, and modulating chemical reactivity. However, current technological limitations make the precise design and prediction of these effects to achieve breakthrough performance challenging. This critical review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in understanding the nanoconfinement effects of silicate minerals and their applications in energy and environmental domains. We particularly emphasize strategies for optimizing the confinement effect through precise modification of the silicate mineral’s nanoconfined spaces. Illustrated examples provide in-depth insights into the underlying mechanisms. Finally, we discuss current challenges and future opportunities for addressing key scientific and practical issues in the development of silicate mineral-based nanoconfinement. By synthesizing progress, engineering strategies, fundamental understanding, and forward-looking perspectives, this review aims to provide valuable insights for advancing sustainable solutions and novel materials design using silicate minerals.

The precise detection of nuclear radiation and particles is vital for the safe, efficient operation of nuclear energy systems. This review presents recent advances in materials designed for next-generation scintillators, with a special focus on flexible electronics and metamaterials. The generation of radionuclides in nuclear reactors is first reviewed, followed by a discussion on matter-radiation interactions involving alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron particles. This review explores the recent advances in cutting-edge material platforms, quantum dots (QDs), halide perovskites, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), two-dimensional (2D) hybrid materials, glass materials, ceramic materials, hydrogel materials, flexible electronics, and metamaterials as emerging contenders for radiation detection, particularly in nuclear applications. Halide perovskites offer high-Z elements and high light yields for gamma spectroscopy. QDs provide tunable emission and fast response, suitable for compact, flexible designs. MOFs exhibit tunable porosity and electronic structure, enabling selective radiation sensing. 2D materials display unique excitonic properties and ultrafast charge transport, crucial for thin-film scintillators. Metamaterials, with engineered optical properties, introduce new pathways for enhancing photon–matter interactions. Coupled with flexible substrates, these platforms pave the way for highly adaptable radiation detection systems. Future perspectives offer a roadmap toward flexible electronics and metamaterials-based scintillators for homeland security, nuclear safety, and nuclear energy applications.

Metallic ion batteries such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), potassium-ion batteries (KIBs), and magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) have gained increasing attention as alternatives to conventional lithium-based energy storage technologies. Advanced two-dimensional (2D) materials, including graphdiyne (GDY), transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes), borophene, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), and phosphorene, offer considerable promise as next-generation anode materials due to their unique physicochemical features. These materials exhibit large surface areas, abundant active sites, tunable porosity, and variable electronic structures, enabling improved ion storage, enhanced conductivity, and structural stability during cycling. Graphdiyne provides high theoretical capacities and favorable diffusion kinetics. MXenes deliver metallic conductivity and functionalized surface terminations that support rapid charge transport. Borophene offers exceptional charge carrier mobility but remains experimentally constrained due to instability. MOF-derived materials contribute redox-active centers and ion-accessible channels, while phosphorene provides high theoretical capacity and fast ion diffusion but suffers from environmental sensitivity. This review highlights recent advances in the structural design, heteroatom doping, and composite engineering of these materials for enhanced performance. Additionally, it outlines the persistent challenges related to interface degradation, structural collapse, and synthesis scalability, while suggesting future directions including in situ/operando characterization and machine learning-guided material discovery for the development of stable, high-capacity metallic ion batteries.

Freestanding oxide thin films, released from the constraints of substrate interfacial bonding, exhibit unprecedented structural and property tunability that surpasses conventional epitaxial films. Through van der Waals integration − particularly via hybridization with 2D materials − these films enable novel electronic devices and offer a compelling approach for advancing complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology. However, challenges such as large-scale fabrication, transfer-induced damage, optimization of sacrificial layers, and long-term film stability of freestanding oxide films must be addressed to fully realize their potential. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the preparation of freestanding oxide thin films using physical exfoliation and chemical etching techniques. We specifically examine and compare three major types of sacrificial layers used in chemical etching to obtain freestanding films. Additionally, we explore their properties across seven key areas: Stability, ferroelectricity, magnetism, superconductivity, electrical properties, flexibility, and optical characteristics. Finally, we discuss the current challenges in these emerging fields and offer forward-looking perspectives for future developments. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art research on freestanding thin films, offering valuable insights into future investigations.

The advancement of effective and versatile additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, also known as 3D printing, represents a revolutionary shift in modern manufacturing processes. This transformative technology has opened remarkable opportunities for the mass customization of medical devices, signaling a shift toward truly personalized medicine. In dentistry specifically, AM has gained considerable attention, offering innovative solutions for fabricating a wide range of products, including dental implants, prostheses, dental devices, drug-delivery systems, and much more. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the seven major categories of 3D-printing techniques (vat photopolymerization, material jetting, binder jetting, material extrusion, powder bed fusion, sheet lamination, and directed energy deposition), as classified by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Functional descriptions based on its existing applications are discussed in detail, and future applications based on their expected benefits and potential drawbacks are also addressed. This study emphasizes the potential of AM in dental applications, highlighting its growing capabilities and its critical role in defining the future of dentistry. The findings illustrate current advancements and outline a roadmap for continued innovation and wider implementation within the industry.
