Abstract

Abstract : In article number 1500292, V. C. Tung and co‐workers demonstrate that the rational engineering of electrostatic and capillarity‐induced mechanical cues transforms stimuli‐responsive graphene sheets into nano‐textured, mechanically durable, and electrically conductive binders for discrete TiO2 nanoparticles. The resulting hybrid assembly exhibits a combination of enhanced electrical conductivity, preserved mechanical integrity and, most importantly, hierarchical functionality for effective energy harvesting.
