Pyroptosis, a new mode of regulatory cell death, holds a promising prospect in tumor therapy. The occurrence of pyroptosis can trigger the release of damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and activate the antitumor immune response. Moreover, enhancing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation can effectively induce pyroptosis. Herein, an integrated nanoplatform (hCZAG) based on...
Vanadium oxides have aroused attention as cathode materials in aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their low cost and high safety. However, low ion diffusion and vanadium dissolution often lead to capacity decay and deteriorating stability during cycling. Herein, vanadium dioxides (VO2) nanobelts are coated with a single‐atom cobalt dispersed N‐doped carbon (Co–N–C) layer via a facile calcination...

Photorefractive effect of ferroelectrics refers to the light‐induced change of refractive index, which is an optical controlling avenue in holographic storage and image processing. For most ferroelectrics, however, the small photorefractive effect (10−5–10−4) hinders their practical application and it is urgent to exploit new photorefractive system. Here, for the first time, strong photorefractive...
It is urgent to design a low‐cost electrocatalyst with high activity to enhance the efficiency of oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is limited by the slow four‐electron transfer kinetics process. Nevertheless, traditional synthetic methods, including calcination and solvothermal, of the electrocatalysts are high‐cost, low‐yield, and energy‐hogging, which limits their industrial application. Herein,...
