Interfacial evaporation using porous hydrogels has demonstrated highly effective solar evaporation performance under natural sunlight to ensure an affordable clean water supply. However, it remains challenging to realize scalable and ready-to-use hydrogel materials with durable mechanical properties. Here, self-assembled templating (SAT) is developed as a simple yet effective method to fabricate large-scale elastic hydrogel evaporators with excellent desalination performance. The highly interconnected porous structure of the hydrogels with low tortuosity and tunable pore size enables high level of tunability on the water transport rate. With superior elasticity, the porous hydrogels are easy to process with a rapid shape recovery after being rolled, folded, and twisted over hundred times, and exhibit highly effective and stable evaporation with an evaporation rate of ≈2.8 kg m −2 h −1 and ≈90 % solar-to-vapor efficiency. It is anticipated that this SAT strategy, without the typical need for freeze-drying, will accelerate the industrialization of hydrogel solar evaporators for practical applications.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has emerged as a potent catalyst for transformation across many industries as a part of Industry 4.0. This review thoroughly examines IIoT applications, demonstrating how it enhances operational efficiency, informed decision-making, cost optimization, innovation, and workplace safety. While prior research has often concentrated on technical dimensions such as fog and edge computing, network protocols, or big data integration, several emerging and high-impact application areas remain underexplored. This study addresses that gap by systematically reviewing IIoT implementations in critical yet often overlooked domains, including environmental monitoring, agriculture, construction, healthcare, robotics, smart grids, and predictive maintenance. It offers fresh insights into how IIoT is being adapted to meet real-world challenges in these sectors. In addition to outlining the current landscape, the review identifies core barriers such as data security, interoperability, and system scalability. It underscores the importance of cross-sector collaboration and strategic alignment to fully leverage the transformative potential of IIoT. The paper concludes by outlining key research gaps and future opportunities to guide continued innovation and scholarly investigation.

Hemostatic capability improvement of a chitosan hemostatic agent was achieved by surface modification using the atmospheric pressure plasma jet experiment. The chitosan hemostatic agent acquired high blood absorption rate, at 4.60 ml/m, when exposed to input power 10 W of the radiofrequency power supply, the argon flow rate of 4 L/m mixture with an oxygen gas of 10 ml/m, and treatment time of 30 s. A significant decreased was observed in the hemoglobin leak value, inducing early blood clotting ability of clotting in 30 s. The strong relation of gas plasma discharge with the OH radical and the atomic oxygen, exhibited an increase in the hydrophilic properties, which lead to the chitosan hemostatic agent being very effective.

Fully screen-printed process for low-cost manufacturing significantly enhances the commercial competitiveness of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the controllable crystallization in screen-printed perovskite thin films using high-viscosity ionic liquids has been suggested to be difficult, which hampers further development of fully screen-printed perovskite devices in terms of application expansion and performance improvement. Here, we report a synergistic ripening strategy to fully control crystallization by employing methylamine propionate (MAPa) ionic liquid and water (H 2 O, moisture in the air). We found that a reversible and sustainable ripening process was activated by integrating MAPa/H 2 O in both externally and internally into perovskite crystals. MAPa effectively prevents the loss of organic salts and maintains the dispersion of Pb-I framework, preventing the perovskite component loss and decomposition. H 2 O and organic salts trends to form hydration complexes, which lowers the energy barrier and enhances the reactivity of the humidity-induced Ostwald ripening reaction. These improvements allow the screen-printed perovskite thin films achieve controlled secondary growth and ion exchange, thereby reducing defects and optimizing energy level alignment. The resulting fully screen-printed PSCs exhibits a record power conversion efficiency of 19.47 % and an operational stability over 1,000 h with maintaining 91.6 % of the highest efficiency under continuous light stress at maximum power point.
