The interfacial effect is widely used to optimize the properties of ferroelectric nanocomposites, however, there is still a lack of direct evidence to understand its underlying mechanisms limited by the nano size and complex structures. Here, taking piezoelectricity, for example, the mechanism of interfacial polarization in barium titanate/poly(vinylidene fluoride‐ran‐trifluoroethylene) (BTO/P(VDF‐TrFE))...
The precise regulation of chiral drug transmembrane transport can be achieved through drug transporters in living organisms. However, implementing this process in vitro is still a formidable challenge due to the complexity of the biological systems that control drug enantiomeric transport. Herein, a facile and feasible strategy is employed to construct chiral L‐tyrosine‐modified nanochannels (L‐Tyr...
The rechargeable magnesium battery (RMB) is regarded as a high‐energy, safe, and cost‐effective alternative for conventional batteries. Unfortunately, the passivation and uneven Mg growth not only raise the voltage hysteresis but also shorten the cycle life of RMBs. In this review, Mg passivation induced by electrolytes/contaminants, growth patterns of high dimensional Mg0, and mechanisms of Mg anode...
Light stimuli have notable advantages over other environmental stimuli, such as more precise spatial and temporal regulation, and the ability to serve as an energy source to power the system. In nature, photoresponsive nanochannels are important components of organisms, with examples including the rhodopsin channels in optic nerve cells and photoresponsive protein channels in the photosynthesis system...
Macrophage polarization toward M1 phenotype (pro‐inflammation) is closely associated with the destructive phase of periodontal inflammation. Nanoceria is verified to inhibit M1 polarization of macrophages by the favorable ability of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging. However, the function of nanoceria on macrophage polarization toward M2 phenotype (anti‐inflammation) in reparative phase of...
As a promising candidate for the high energy density cells, the practical application of lithium‐metal batteries (LMBs) is still extremely hindered by the uncontrolled growth of lithium (Li) dendrites. Herein, a facile strategy is developed that enables dendrite‐free Li deposition by coating highly‐lithiophilic amorphous SiO microparticles combined with high‐binding polyacrylate acid (SiO@PAA) on...
As an essential member of 2D materials, MXene (e.g., Ti3C2Tx) is highly preferred for energy storage owing to a high surface‐to‐volume ratio, shortened ion diffusion pathway, superior electronic conductivity, and neglectable volume change, which are beneficial for electrochemical kinetics. However, the low theoretical capacitance and restacking issues of MXene severely limit its practical application...
Defects are detrimental for optoelectronics devices, such as stacking faults can form carrier‐transportation barriers, and foreign impurities (Au) with deep‐energy levels can form carrier traps and nonradiative recombination centers. Here, self‐catalyzed p‐type GaAs nanowires (NWs) with a pure zinc blende (ZB) structure are first developed, and then a photodetector made from these NWs is fabricated...
