The multifaceted functions of platelets in various physiological processes have long inspired the development of therapeutic nanoparticles that mimic specific platelet features for disease treatment. Here, the development and characterization of platelet membrane‐derived nanodiscs (PLT‐NDs) as platelet decoys for biological neutralization is reported. In one application, PLT‐NDs effectively bind with...
Neurotoxins present a substantial threat to human health and security as they disrupt and damage the nervous system. Their potent and structurally diverse nature poses challenges in developing effective countermeasures. In this study, a unique nanoparticle design that combines dual‐biomimicry mechanisms to enhance the detoxification efficacy of neurotoxins is introduced. Using saxitoxin (STX), one...
Biofilm‐associated infections are one of the most challenging healthcare threats for humans, accounting for 80% of bacterial infections, leading to persistent and chronic infections. The conventional antibiotics still face their dilemma of poor therapeutic effects due to the high tolerance and resistance led by bacterial biofilm barriers. Nanotechnology‐based antimicrobials, nanoparticles (NPs), are...
Bilayer semiconductors have attracted much attention due to their stacking‐order‐dependent properties. However, as both 3R‐ and 2H‐stacking are energetically stable at high temperatures, most of the high‐temperature grown bilayer materials have random 3R‐ or 2H‐stacking orders, leading to non‐uniformity in optical and electrical properties. Here, a chemical vapor deposition method is developed to...
Enhancing alkaline urea oxidation reaction (UOR) activity is essential to upgrade renewable electrolysis systems. As a core step of UOR, proton‐coupled electron transfer (PCET) determines the overall performance, and accelerating its kinetic remains a challenge. In this work, a newly raised electrocatalyst of NiCoMoCuOxHy with derived multi‐metal co‐doping (oxy)hydroxide species during electrochemical...
FeNC catalysts demonstrate remarkable activity and stability for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and Zn–air batteries (ZABs). The local coordination of Fe single atoms in FeNC catalysts strongly impacts ORR activity. Herein, FeNC catalysts containing Fe single atoms sites with FeN3, FeN4, and FeN5 coordinations are synthesized by carbonization of...
On‐skin electronics based on impermeable elastomers and stacking structures often suffer from inferior sweat‐repelling capabilities and severe mechanical mismatch between sub‐layers employed, which significantly impedes their lengthy wearing comfort and functionality. Herein, inspired by the transpiration system of vascular plants and the water diode phenomenon, a hierarchical nonwoven electronic...
Accurate control over the coordination circumstances of single‐atom catalysts (SACs) is decisive to their intrinsic activity. Here, two single‐site heterogeneous organometallic catalysts (SHOCs), Cp*Ir‒L/GDY (L = OH− and Cl−; Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl), with the fine‐tuned local coordination and electronic structure of Ir sites, are constructed by anchoring Cp*Ir complexes on graphdiyne (GDY)...
Various nanoscale SiO2 and their composites have demonstrated superior electrochemical performance as anodes for lithium‐ion batteries. However, both the battery production and real applications require the integration of nanoscale SiO2 into micrometer‐sized secondary particles while preserving their excellent stability and conductivity, which remains a great challenge. In this work, a unique carbon...
In this study, to visually acquire all‐round structural and functional information of lung cancer while performing synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) and tumor‐targeting immunotherapy, a theranostic nanoplatform that introduced upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and IR‐1048 dye into the lipid‐aptamer nanostructrure (UCILA) is constructed. Interestingly, the IR‐1048 dye grafted into the lipid bilayer...
2D bismuth nanosheets are a promising layered material for formate‐producing via electrocatalytic CO2 conversion. However, the commercial interest of bismuth nanosheets in CO2 electroreduction is still rare due to the undesirable current density for formate at moderate operation potentials (about 200 mA mg−1) and harsh synthesis conditions (high temperature and/or high pressure). This work reports...
In article number 2005345, Ranbo Yu, Dan Wang, and co‐workers successfully incorporate the advanced structural design to construct the La‐ and Rh‐ co‐doped SrTiO3 (STO:La/Rh) hollow multi‐shelled structures (HoMSs). The elevated visible light responsive photocatalytic water splitting performances give a promising prospect for HoMSs‐based materials in photocatalytic and photo related fields. With a...
La‐ and Rh‐co‐doped SrTiO3 (STO:La/Rh) hollow multishelled structures (HoMSs) are fabricated by adding La3+ and Rh3+ ions during the hydrothermal process of converting TiO2 HoMSs to STO HoMSs. STO:La/Rh HoMSs have successfully expanded the light absorption edge to 520 nm. Accompanied with the benefits of the unique hierarchical structure and relatively thin shells, STO:La/Rh HoMSs exhibit elevated...
Traditional liquid marbles (LMs), liquid droplets encapsulated by hydrophobic particles at the liquid–gas interface, are restricted by their short lifetime and low heat transfer efficiency. Herein, a new paradigm for LMs immersed in various liquid mediums with massive enhanced heat transfer and spatial recognition is designed; without compromising the structural integrity, the lifetime of the liquid...
Research for clean and sustainable energy has seen explosive growth in the past decade. The “Ecological Chemical Process and Technology Team” is a Talent Team of Preponderant and Characteristic Discipline of Taishan Scholars at Qingdao University of Science and Technology (QUST) that commits to the development of highly efficient renewable energy conversion and storage systems without damaging the...
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs)‐derived porous carbon is proposed as a promising candidate to develop novel, tailorable structures as polysulfides immobilizers for lithium–sulfur batteries because of their high‐efficiency electron conductive networks, open ion channels, and abundant central ions that can store a large amount of sulfur and trap the easily soluble polysulfides. However, most central...
Transformable liquid metal (LM)‐based materials have attracted considerable research interest in biomedicine. However, the potential biomedical applications of LMs have not yet been fully explored. Herein, for the first trial, the inductive heating property of gallium–indium eutectic alloy (EGaIn) under alterative magnetic field is systematically investigated. By virtue of its inherent metallic nature,...
