Discovering new deep ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is the current research hotspot. However, how to perfectly integrate several stringent performances into a crystal is a great challenge because of the natural incompatibility among them, particularly wide band gap and large NLO coefficient. To tackle the challenge, a boron‐rich closed‐loop strategy is supposed, based on which...
The first examples of thioborate‐thiosilicates, namely Ca2Ln(BS3)(SiS4) (Ln = La, Ce, and Gd), are synthesized by rationally designed high‐temperature solid‐state reactions. They crystalize in the polar space group P63mc and feature a novel three‐dimensional crystal structure in which the discrete [BS3]3− and [SiS4]4− anionic groups are linked by Ca2+ and Ln3+ cations occupying the same atomic site...
Second‐harmonic generation (SHG) response and birefringence are crucial properties for linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, while it is difficult to further optimize these two key properties by using a single traditional functional building block (FBB) in one compound. Herein, a novel IO45− unit is identified, which possesses a square‐planar configuration and two stereochemically active lone‐pairs...
Flexible solid‐state Zn‐ion batteries (ZIBs) have garnered considerable attention for next‐generation power sources, but the corrosion, dendrite growth, and interfacial problems severely hinder their practical applications. Herein, a high‐performance flexible solid‐state ZIB with a unique heterostructure electrolyte is facilely fabricated through ultraviolet‐assisted printing strategy. The solid polymer/hydrogel...
Two melamine‐based metal halides, (C3N6H7)(C3N6H6)HgCl3 (I) and (C3N6H7)3HgCl5 (II), are synthesized by incorporating the heavy d10 cation, Hg2+, and the halide anion, Cl−. The noncentrosymmetric structure of I results from two unique attributes: large asymmetric secondary building units produced by direct covalent coordination of melamine to Hg2+ and a small dihedral angle between melamine molecules...
Synergetic Prostate Cancer Therapies
In article number 2207077, Li Zhang, Yunjiao Zhang, Chaozhao Liang, and co‐workers propose intratumoral implantation of micromagnets to actively attract intravenously‐injected magnetic PEGylated manganese‐zinc ferrite nanocrystals (PMZFNs) from blood vessels into tumor tissue. PMZFNs exert relatively durable tumoricidal effects by inducing ferroptotic/immunogenic...
Therapeutic efficacy for prostate cancer is highly restricted by insufficient drug accumulation and the resistance to apoptosis and immunogenic cell death (ICD). Although enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect of magnetic nanomaterials could benefit from external magnetic field, it falls off rapidly with increased distance from magnet surface. Considering the deep location of prostate in...
Rare‐Earth Selenites
A selenite‐based ultraviolet nonlinear optical (UV‐NLO) material, Sc(HSeO3)3, reveals remarkably well‐balanced UV‐NLO properties such as the shortest absorption edge (≈214 nm) among NLO‐active selenites, wide band gap (5.28 eV), large phase‐matchable second‐harmonic generation (SHG) response (5 × KH2PO4 (KDP)), and sufficiently large birefringence (cal. 0.105 @1064 nm). More details...
Establishing high performance ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) selenite crystals with well‐balanced properties is very challenging attributable to their strong absorption for UV light. Here a rare‐earth selenite, Sc(HSeO3)3, with excellent UV NLO properties is introduced. Sc(HSeO3)3 crystallizing in the polar NCS space group, Cc, features a 3D archetiture built up by interconnected ScO6 octahedra...
Ionic liquids (ILs) in nanoporous confinement are the core of many supercapacitors and batteries, where the mobility of the nanoconfined ILs is crucial. Here, by combining experiments based on impedance spectroscopy with molecular dynamics simulations, the mobility of a prototype IL in the nanopores of an isoreticular metal‐organic framework (MOF)‐series with different pore sizes is explored, where...
The filtering capacitor plays an essential role in the ever‐increasing electronics for current stability in complicated environments. However, because of the low specific capacitance and bulky volume, current filtering devices have difficulty satisfying the harsh temperature environment and small size for supercomputers, electric vehicles, aircraft and so on. Therefore, an ultra‐fast electrochemical...
Conjugated coordination polymers (CPs) with designable and predictable structures have drawn tremendous attention in recent years. However, the poor electrical conductivity and low structural stability seriously restrict their practical applications in electronic devices. Herein, the rational design and synthesis of a hierarchically structured 2D bimetallic CoNi‐hexaaminobenzene CPs derived from Co(OH)...
