Gut microbiota function has numerous effects on humans and the diet humans consume has emerged as a pivotal determinant of gut microbiota function. Here, a new concept that gut microbiota can be trained by diet‐derived exosome‐like nanoparticles (ELNs) to release healthy outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) is introduced. Specifically, OMVs released from garlic ELN (GaELNs) trained human gut Akkermansia muciniphila...
The dynamics rate of traditional metal carbides (TMCs) is relatively slow, severely limiting its fast‐charging capacity for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, the core–shell W@WxC heterostructure is developed to form Mott–Schottky heterostructure, thereby simultaneously accelerating the electronic and ionic transport kinetics during the charging/discharging process. The W nanoparticles are partially...
Ti2C MXene with the lowest formula weight is expected to gain superior advantages in gravimetric capacitances over other heavier MXenes. Nevertheless, its poor chemical and electrochemical stability is the most fatal drawback and seriously hinders its practical applications. Herein, an alloy engineering strategy at the transition metal‐sites of Ti2C MXene is proposed. Theoretical calculations reveal...
Thermochromic smart windows with rational modulation in indoor temperature and brightness draw considerable interest in reducing building energy consumption, which remains a huge challenge to meet the comfortable responsive temperature and the wide transmittance modulation range from visible to near‐infrared (NIR) light for their practical application. Herein, a novel thermochromic Ni(II) organometallic...
Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging has emerged as a promising tool for guided cancer diagnosis and synergistic therapies, such as combined chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (chemo‐PTT). Yet, existing therapeutic agents often suffer from low SERS sensitivity, insufficient photothermal conversion, or/and limited drug loading capacity. Herein, a multifunctional theragnostic nanoplatform...
Chemo/Photothermal Therapy for Cancer Guided by SERS Imaging
In article number 2206762, Mo Yang, Siu Hong Dexter Wong, and co‐workers develop a multilayered mesoporous gold nanoarchitecture labeled with Raman reporters for ultraeffective surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging‐guided synergistic therapy toward cancer. This nanoplatform enables efficient xenograft tumor model targeting with...
To improve the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of photocatalysts, the doping strategy through covalent functionalization is often adopted to adjust material electronic structures. By contrast, this work demonstrates that the noncovalent interaction in the case of iodinated graphitic carbon nitride (g‐CN) film can also enhance the PEC performance. Through a facile synthesis method of rapid thermal...
Hydrogel electrolytes have attracted enormous attention in flexible and safe supercapacitors. However, the interfacial contact problem between hydrogel electrolyte and electrodes, and the environmental instability are the key factors restricting the development of hydrogel‐based supercapacitors. Here, a nucleotide‐tackified adhesive organohydrogel electrolyte is successfully constructed and exhibits...
Inspired by mussel‐adhesion phenomena in nature, polydopamine (PDA) coatings are a promising route to multifunctional platforms for decorating various materials. The typical self‐polymerization process of dopamine is time‐consuming and the coatings of PDA are not reusable. Herein, a reusable and time‐saving strategy for the electrochemical polymerization of dopamine (EPD) is reported. The PDA layer...
Bioinspired surfaces with superwettability have attracted great interest in both fundamental research and industry applications. Recent progress in superhydrophobic TiO2‐based surfaces with high contrast in solid/liquid adhesion is reviewed on page 2203 by Y. K. Lai, L. F. Chi and co‐workers. In addition, the significant applications related to super‐wetting/antiwetting surfaces with controllable...
Bioinspired surfaces with special wettability and adhesion have attracted great interest in both fundamental research and industry applications. Various kinds of special wetting surfaces have been constructed by adjusting the topographical structure and chemical composition. Here, recent progress of the artificial superhydrophobic surfaces with high contrast in solid/liquid adhesion has been reviewed,...
