Lead (Pb) poisoning and CO2‐induced global warming represent two exemplary environmental and energy issues threatening humanity. Various biomass‐derived materials are reported to take up Pb and convert CO2 electrochemically into low‐valent carbon species, but these works address the problems separately rather than settle the issues simultaneously. In this work, cheap, natural ellagic acid (EA) extracted...
Poor water stability and single luminous color are the major drawbacks of the most phosphors reported. Therefore, it is important to realize multicolor luminescence in a phosphor with single host and single activator as well as moisture resistance. LaF3:Pr3+@SiO2 yolk‐shell nanospheres are facilely obtained by a designing new technology of a simple and cost‐effective electrospray ionization combined...
Multifunctional electrocatalysts are crucial to cost‐effective electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems requiring mutual enhancement of disparate reactions. Embedding noble metal nanoparticles in 2D metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are proposed as an effective strategy, however, the hybrids usually suffer from poor electrochemical performance and electrical conductivity in operating conditions...
Lithium‐Ion Batteries
The effect of silicon particle size on its physical, chemical, and mechanochemical behaviors has been benchmarked via multiple lab‐ and synchrotron‐based characterizations. The significant differences caused by particle size in the composition transition, structure transition, particle pulverization, electrode expansion, and surface chemistry, are strongly related to their electrochemical...
High‐capacity silicon has been regarded as one of the most promising anodes for high‐energy lithium‐ion batteries. However, it suffers from severe volume expansion, particle pulverization, and repeated solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) growth, which leads to rapid electrochemical failure, while the particle size also plays key role here and its effects remain elusive. In this paper, through multiple‐physical,...
Oncolytic Virotherapies
In article number 2206948, Ying Wu, Ning Li, Funan Liu, and co‐workers provide a more advanced approach to cancer immunotherapy, i.e. the oncolytic virotherapy. Oncolytic viruses selectively replicate in tumor cells and exert antitumor effects through direct oncolysis and inducting immune responses, where tumor antigens from the lysing cells enhance antitumor immunity.
With advances in cancer biology and an ever‐deepening understanding of molecular virology, oncolytic virus (OV)‐driven therapies have developed rapidly and become a promising alternative to traditional cancer therapies. In recent years, satisfactory results for oncolytic virus therapy (OVT) are achieved at both the cellular and organismal levels, and efforts are being increasingly directed toward...
The discovery and in‐depth study of non‐biocatalytic applications of active biomolecules are essential for the development of biomimicry. Here, the effect of intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding traction on the CO2 photoactivation performance of adenine nucleobase by means of an adenine‐containing model system (AMOF‐1−4) is uncovered. Remarkably, the hydrogen‐bonding schemes around adenines are regularly...
Disturbed blood flow induces endothelial pro‐inflammatory responses that promote atherogenesis. Nanoparticle‐based therapeutics aimed at treating endothelial inflammation in vasculature where disturbed flow occurs may provide a promising avenue to prevent atherosclerosis. By using a vertical‐step flow apparatus and a microfluidic chip of vascular stenosis, herein, it is found that the disk‐shaped...
Metal‐oxo clusters have emerged as advanced proton conductors with well‐defined and tunable structures. Nevertheless, the exploitation of metal‐oxo clusters with high and stable proton conductivity over a relatively wide temperature range still remains a great challenge. Herein, three sulfate groups decorated zirconium‐oxo clusters (Zr6, Zr18, and Zr70) as proton conductors are reported, which exhibit...
Asherman's syndrome (AS) occurs as a consequence of severe damage to the endometrial basalis, usually leading to menstrual abnormalities, infertility, and recurrent miscarriage in women. Currently, human endometrium‐derived adventitial cells (En‐ADVs) are considered ideal seed cells with high pluripotency for regenerative medicine. However, critical issues such as noninvasive repair of tissues, targeting...
Aliovalent doping is widely adopted to tune the electronic structure of transition‐metal oxides for design of low‐cost, active electrocatalysts. Here, using single‐crystalline thin films as model electrocatalysts, the structure‐activity relationship of Fe states doping in perovskite LaNiO3 for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is studied. Fe4+ state is found to be crucial for enhancing the OER activity...
Metal‐free ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) materials have attracted significant attention owing to their anomalous photophysical properties and potential applications in various fields. Here, three pyrimidine‐based organic luminogens, 9‐(pyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐9H‐carbazole, 9‐(4,6‐dimethylpyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐9H‐carbazole, and 9‐(5‐bromopyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐9H‐carbazole are designed and synthesized, which...
A photocatalytic reaction is always governed by energy band configuration of the catalyst, but its modulation is challenging. Here, the adjustment of band‐edge positions of Ag3PO4 through fluorescent carbon dots is reported for the first time. Both Ag3PO4 and carbon dots which keep the similar sizes constitute a heterojunction. Such heterostructure not only promotes visible light absorption, photogenerated...
Recently, stretchable electronics have been highly desirable in the Internet of Things and electronic skins. Herein, an innovative and cost‐efficient strategy is demonstrated to fabricate highly sensitive, stretchable, and conductive strain‐sensing platforms inspired by the geometries of a spiders slit organ and a lobsters shell. The electrically conductive composites are fabricated via embedding...
