The self‐preservation and intelligent survival abilities of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) result in the ineffective treatment of many antibiotics. Nano‐drug delivery systems have emerged as a new strategy to overcome MRSA infection. ZIF‐8 nanoparticles (ZIF‐8 NPs) exhibit good antibacterial activities, while its molecular mechanisms are largely elusive. In this study, the ZIF‐8...
Metal sulfides, as vital members of electrodes materials, still suffer from serious volume expansion and polysulfides shuttling. Herein, through inexpensive and high efficiency chemical‐bonding/hydrophobic‐association methods, a series of metal‐sulfides quantum dots (QDs) with large‐scale synthesis (≈100 g) is successfully prepared, further forming low‐dimensional composites with high redox activity...
In this study, PtCu‐Mo2C heterostructure with charge redistribution is investigated via first‐principles theoretical calculations. Mo2C can promote the formation of the electron‐rich region of PtCu as an active site, displaying an optimized adsorption behavior toward hydrogen in terms of reduced thermodynamic energy barriers. Owing to the attractive density functional theory calculation results, the...
Room‐temperature sodium–sulfur batteries are one of the most attractive energy storage systems due to their low cost and ultrahigh energy density (2600 W h kg−1). During the charge/discharge process, the sulfur can react with sodium via a multistep redox reaction to obtain a high specific capacity (1675 mA h g−1). However, these batteries face the difficult challenge of the “shuttle effect,” which...
The high proliferation efficiency, redox imbalance, and elevated nucleic acid repair capabilities of tumor cells severely restrict the theranostic efficacy. Selectively interference chaotic tumors with devastating nucleic acid damages (NUDs) properties are expected to overcome theranostic barriers. Here, an exquisite catalytic‐based strategy with comprehensive NUDs mechanisms is demonstrated. In this...
Birefringence and dichroism are very important properties in optical anisotropy. Understanding the intrinsic birefringence and dichroism of a material can provide great help to utilize its optical anisotropy. But the direct experimental investigation of birefringence in nanoscale materials is rarely reported. As typical anisotropic transition metals trichalcogenides (TMTCs) materials with quasi‐1D...
The cover image describes a method for experimentally testing the birefringence and dichroism of anisotropic transition metal trichalcogenide. The incident light passes through a series of optical elements to become elliptically polarized light, which is then reflected by the material and received by the detector. In article number 2100457, Honggang Gu, Zhongming Wei, and co‐workers report that the...
Rhodium (Rh)‐based catalysts may solve the long‐standing inefficient oxidation of ethanol for direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs); however, the performance of ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) on existing Rh‐based catalysts are far limited. Herein, the Rh–Pb catalysts are synthesized by building Pb and Pb oxide around Rh nanodomain, which shows highly efficient splitting CC bond and facile further oxidation...
