Organic–inorganic hybrid linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have received increasingly wide spread attention in recent years. Herein, the first hybrid noncentrosymmetric (NCS) borophosphate, (C5H6N)2B2O(HPO4)2 (4PBP), is rationally designed and synthesized by a covalent‐linkage strategy. 4‐pyridyl‐boronic acid (4 PB) is considered as a bifunctional unit, which may effectively improve the...
Flexible Block Copolymer Metamaterials
In article number 2307487, Yeo‐Wan Chiang and co‐workers developed dual extractable nanocomposites capable of creating a novel hollow gyroid (HG) featuring maximum porosity, low reflectivity, and high specific reduced modulus. Owing to the highly interconnected and ordered nanonetworks, the pioneering HG is promising as a nanoreactor for developing ultra‐lightweight...
By utilizing bicontinuous and nanoporous ordered nanonetworks, such as double gyroid (DG) and double diamond (DD), metamaterials with exceptional optical and mechanical properties can be fabricated through the templating synthesis of functional materials. However, the volume fraction range of DG in block copolymers is significantly narrow, making it unable to vary its porosity and surface‐to‐volume...
During the layer‐by‐layer (LBL) processing of polymer solar cells (PSCs), the swelling and molecule interdiffusion are essential for achieving precise, controllable vertical morphology, and thus efficient PSCs. However, the influencing mechanism of material properties on morphology and correlated device performance has not been paid much attention. Herein, a series of fluorinated/non‐fluorinated polymer...
Luminescent metal clusters have attracted great interest in current research; however, the design synthesis of Al clusters with color‐tunable luminescence remains challenging. Herein, an [Al8(OH)8(NA)16] (Al8, HNA = nicotinic acid) molecular cluster with dual luminescence properties of fluorescence and room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is synthesized by choosing HNA ligand as phosphor. Its prompt...
Unpredictable and extreme weather conditions, along with increasing electromagnetic pollution, have resulted in a significant threat to human health and productivity, causing irreversible damage to society's well‐being and economy. However, existing personal temperature management and electromagnetic protection materials lack adaptability to dynamic environmental changes. To address this, a unique...
Three‐dimensional (3D) structures constructed via coordination‐driven self‐assemblies have recently garnered increasing attention due to the challenges in structural design and potential applications. In particular, developing new strategy for the convenient and precise self‐assemblies of 3D supramolecular structures is of utmost interest. Introducing the concept of self‐coordination ligands, herein...
Dye aggregates have attracted a great deal of attention due to their widespread applications in organic light‐emitting devices, light‐harvesting systems, etc. However, the strategies to precisely control chromophores with specific spatial arrangements still remain a great challenge. In this work, a series of double‐ and triple‐decker supramolecular complexes are successfully constructed by coordination‐driven...
In this paper, the authors report the fabrication of a sensitive deep ultraviolet (DUV) photodetector by using an individual GaSe nanobelt with a thickness of 52.1 nm, which presents the highest photoresponse at 265 nm illumination with a responsivity and photoconductive gain of about 663 A W−1 and 3103 at a 3 V bias, respectively, comparable to or even better than other reported devices based on...
In article number 2002169, Wu Wei, Yan Li, Tiangang Liu, and co‐workers develop a novel detection technology, nanopore targeted sequencing (NTS), for the accurate and comprehensive detection of SARS‐CoV‐2 and other respiratory viruses. This detection technology is suitable for the identification of suspected COVID‐19 cases and can also monitor mutations in the virus and the type of virus.
The ongoing global novel coronavirus pneumonia COVID‐19 outbreak has engendered numerous cases of infection and death. COVID‐19 diagnosis relies upon nucleic acid detection; however, currently recommended methods exhibit high false‐negative rates and are unable to identify other respiratory virus infections, thereby resulting in patient misdiagnosis and impeding epidemic containment. Combining the...
A co‐engineered nanoparticle/protein peroxide detector is created. This system features a gold nanoparticle functionalized with a galactose headgroup (AuNP‐Gal) that reacts covalently with a boronate‐modified green fluorescent protein (PB‐GFP). Boronate acid‐saccharide complexation between PB‐GFP and AuNP‐Gal affords a highly stable assembly. This complex is disrupted by peroxide, allowing quantitative...
