Bi2 O3 /rare earth oxide biphasic absorbers are attractive for high-efficiency X-ray shielding due to the complementary absorption effects. However, its application is severely hindered by poor interphasic contact. Here, a new Janus interface engineering strategy reported construction of continuous and flexible /Gd2 crystal nanofibrous membranes (FJNMs) with micro/nano dual self-strengthening adhesion. This facilitates online micro-interlocking between nanofibers in situ nano-grain fusion crystals, significantly enhancing adhesive strength at interface. Additionally, synergistic effect from multiple reflections Gd2 lattices make superior radiation barrier. The FJNMs demonstrate integrated features exceptional efficiency (91%-100%), robust interfacial adhesion (lap-shear >3.8 MPa), prominent flexibility, lightweight, outstanding breathability. design concepts fibrosing absorber assemblies pave way asymmetrically assembling materials, setting stage fundamental shift next-generation materials.

Abstract The growing demand for energy‐efficient carbon capture has spurred significant advancements in supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs), which utilize (IL) with high CO 2 solubility continuous gas purification processes. However, conventional SILMs are hindered by a persistent limitation: thick IL layers (> 50 µm) significantly reduce permeance to below 1 GPU, while also causing mechanical failure under prolonged operational pressure. Inspired the interlocking elytra of Tenebrionidae beetles, use microscale “teeth” withstand stress, locked (LILMs) engineered composeing two interpenetrating polyamide nanofilms biomimetic protrusions. These confine ILs within cavities formed protrusions, thinning sub‐0.5 µm resisting shear stresses. LILMs demonstrate /N selectivity 55 and an enhanced 8.2 surpassing performance ≈20‐fold maintaining stability over 168 h mixed separation. By dual‐purposing as both solvents interfacial polymerization transporters, this bio‐inspired architecture overcomes thickness‐stability limitations, enabling capture.
