Dust grain size distributions evolve from large-grain dominated at high redshift to MRN-like at low redshift, driven primarily by shattering and ISM accretion after stars supply initial large grains, reproducing z=0 dust masses and Milky Way extinction properties.
Cosmological zoom-in simulations find that grain-grain shattering in diffuse ISM gas drives rising PAH mass fraction with time, naturally producing the observed PAH-metallicity relation and inverse qPAH-molecular gas trends.
