The guided‐growth strategy has been widely explored and proved its efficacy in fabricating surface micro/nanostructures in a variety of systems. However, soft materials like polymers are much less investigated partly due to the lack of strong internal driving mechanisms. Herein, the possibility of utilizing liquid crystal (LC) ordering of smectic liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) to induce guided growth...
Precise control of molecular assembly is of great significance in the application of functional molecules. This work has systematically investigated the humidity effect in bubble‐assisted molecular assembly. This work finds humidity is critical in the evolution of the soft confined space, leading to the formation of microscale liquid confined space under high humidity, and nanoscale liquid confined...
Photodetectors
The cover image describes the design of three‐electrode photo‐electrochemical photodetectors based on lanthanide‐doped carbon quantum dots (CQDs). Owing to the coordination of lanthanides and internal energy transfer between lanthanides and CQDs, the as‐fabricated photodetectors not only show an excellent photo‐response performance, but also exhibit a narrow‐band response behavior....
The present work demonstrates a facile hydrothermal approach to synthesize lanthanide‐doped carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with europium and/or gadolinium elements. Taking the advantage of broadband adsorption in the ultraviolet‐visible region, the doped QDs are directly used as building blocks for photo‐electrochemical (PEC)‐type photodetectors (PDs) and their performance is systematically investigated...
Amyloid fibrils generally display chirality, a feature which has rarely been exploited in the development of therapeutics against amyloid diseases. This study reports, for the first time, the use of mesoscopic chiral silica nanoribbons against the in vivo amyloidogenesis of human islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), the peptide whose aggregation is implicated in type 2 diabetes. The thioflavin T assay...
