Constructing effective and robust biocatalysts with carbonic anhydrase (CA)‐mimetic activities offers an alternative and promising pathway for diverse CO2‐related catalytic applications. However, there is very limited success has been achieved in controllably synthesizing CA‐mimetic biocatalysts. Here, inspired by the 3D coordination environments of CAs, this study reports on the design of an ultrafast...
Gene therapy (GT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have emerged as promising alternatives to chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer treatment, offering noninvasiveness and reduced side effects. However, their efficacy as standalone treatments is limited. GT exhibits slow response rates, while PTT is confined to local tumor ablation. The convergence of GT and PTT, known as GT‐PTT, facilitated by photothermal...
In situ forming gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) is one of the most feasible ways to improve the safety and cycle performances of lithium metal batteries with high energy density. However, most of the in situ formed GPEs are not compatible with high‐voltage cathode materials. Here, this work provides a novel strategy to in situ form GPE based on the mechanism of Ritter reaction. The Ritter reaction in...
Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are among the most promising candidates for the next generation of photovoltaic devices because of the significant increase in their power conversion efficiency (PCE) from less than 10% to 25.7% in past decade. The metal‐organic framework (MOF) materials owing to their unique properties, such as large specific surface area, abundant binding sites,...
Mosaic Patterned Surfaces
In article number 2206274, Yanjun Hu, Lin Li, and co‐workers report a mosaic patterned surface‐based chip that acquires mutually independent and hardly‐volatile capsular droplet arrays. The concept shows high compatibility and practicability, paving the way for the new microfluidic chips used in COVID‐19 diagnosis and other high‐precision detection.
Precise detection involving droplets based on functional surfaces is promising for the parallelization and miniaturization of platforms and is significant in epidemic investigation, analyte recognition, environmental simulation, combinatorial chemistry, etc. However, a challenging and considerable task is obtaining mutually independent droplet arrays without cross‐contamination and simultaneously...
Infection classification is the key for choosing the proper treatment plans. Early determination of the causative agents is critical for disease control. Host responses analysis can detect variform and sensitive host inflammatory responses to ascertain the presence and type of the infection. However, traditional host‐derived inflammatory indicators are insufficient for clinical infection classification...
Liquid hydrogen carriers featuring high hydrogen content, safety, and hydrogen release on demand have motivated great endeavors for sustainable hydrogen supply. Nonetheless, direct hydrogen release is limited by the ultralow hydrogen evolution rate, while the conventional manner of extra additive and solvent addition for promoting rates greatly deteriorates its hydrogen storage density. Thus, it is...
The highest theoretical capacity and lowest redox potential of lithium metal make lithium‐based batteries the “holy grail” of the next‐generation batteries. However, the uncontrollable dendrite growth and infinite volume change of lithium seriously hinder the real‐world implementation of lithium‐based batteries. Herein, a flexible MXene@iodine‐doped red phosphorus (MXene@RP) paper with iodine‐doped...
The switch of CO2 hydrogenation selectivity from CH4 to CO over TiO2 supported Rh catalysts is accomplished via selective encapsulation of Rh nanoparticles while exposing Rh single atoms by high‐temperature reduction (HTR) according to their different strong metal‐support interaction (SMSI) occurrence conditions, which can be reversed by subsequent oxidation treatment.
2D materials are increasingly becoming key components in modern electronics because of their prominent electronic and optoelectronic properties. The central and premise to the entire discipline of 2D materials lie in the high‐quality and scaled preparations. The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method offers compelling benefits in terms of scalability and controllability in shaping large‐area and high‐quality...

Herb derived drugs modulate gut microbiome homeostasis and gut‐generated bio‐metabolites. In article number 2105021, Jian‐Dong Jiang, Yongsheng Che, Lu‐Lu Wang, and co‐workers modify the immune cell dynamics and liver function using herb‐derived bicyclol, leading to improved chronic inflammation and cholesterol metabolism. The endothelial activation and cholesterol ester...
Atherosclerosis (AS) is associated with high morbidity and mortality, thus imposing a growing burden on modern society. Herb‐derived bicyclol (BIC) is a versatile bioactive compound that can be used to treat AS. However, its efficacy in AS is not yet described. Here, it is shown that BIC normalizes gut microflora dysbiosis induced by a high fat diet in Apoe(−/−) mice. Metagenome‐wide association study...
Carbon dots (CDs) as new nanomaterials have attracted much attention in recent years due to their unique characteristics. Notably, structure and interface modification (carbon core, edge, defects, and functional groups) of CDs have been considered as valid methods to regulate their properties, which contain electron transfer effect, electrochemical activity, fluorescence luminescent, and so on. Additionally,...
Solid composite electrolyte‐based Li battery is viewed as one of the most competitive system for the next generation batteries; however, it is still restricted by sluggish ion diffusion. Fast ion transport is a characteristic of the polyethylene oxide (PEO) amorphous phase, and the mobility of Li+ is restrained by the coordination interaction within PEO and Li+. Herein, the design of applying functionalized...
