Converting solar energy into hydrogen energy using conjugated polymers (CP) is a promising solution to the energy crisis. Improving water solubility plays one of the critical factors in enhancing the hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of CP photocatalysts. In this study, a novel concept of incorporating hydrophilic side chains to connect the backbones of CPs to improve their HER is proposed. This concept...
The practical applications of resorcinol formaldehyde resin (RFR) aerogels are prevented by their poor mechanical properties. Herein, a facile template‐directed method is reported to produce macroscopic free‐standing cobalt silicate (CS)@RFR core‐shell nanobelt aerogels that display superelastic behavior and outstanding thermal insulating and fire‐resistant capability. The synthesis relies on the...
Rapid and accurate imaging of the BCR/ABL fusion gene isoforms (e.g., e13a2, e14a2 and co‐expression type) of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is of vital importance to first‐line drug selection, but there is no assay that meets clinical needs (e.g., clinical kits > 18 h without isoforms information). Herein, an in situ imaging platform is developed for the rapid and accurate detection of CML fusion...
Conjugated polymers (CPs) have recently gained increasing attention as photocatalysts for sunlight‐driven hydrogen evolution. However, they suffer from insufficient electron output sites and poor solubility in organic solvents, severely limiting their photocatalytic performance and applicability. Herein, solution‐processable all–acceptor (A1–A2)‐type CPs based on sulfide‐oxidized ladder‐type heteroarene...
Ultrastable Potassium‐Ion Storage
In article number 2300046, Hsing‐Yu Tuan and co‐workers propose a Cu3BiS3 anode material with a self‐healing mechanism for potassium ion storage devices, which shows an electrochemical reconstruction of phase reversibility and morphological reversibility.
The unique properties of self‐healing materials hold great potential in battery systems, which can exhibit excellent deformability and return to its original shape after cycling. Herein, a Cu3BiS3 anode material with self‐healing mechanisms is proposed for use in ultrastable potassium‐ion battery (PIB) and potassium‐ion hybrid capacitor (PIHC). Different from the binder design, Cu3BiS3 anode can exhibit...
Because of their exceptional physical and thermal properties, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are a highly promising bio‐based material for reinforcing fillers. Studies have revealed that some functional groups from CNCs can be used as a capping ligand to coordinate with metal nanoparticles or semiconductor quantum dots during the fabrication of novel complex materials. Therefore, through CNCs ligand...
As a promising 2D nanocarrier, the biggest challenge of bare black phosphorus nanosheets (BP NSs) lies in the inherent instability, while it can be improved by surface modification strategies to a great extent. Considering the existing infirm BP NSs surface modification strategies, A mussels‐inspired strong adhesive biomimetic peptide with azide groups for surface modification to increase the stability...
In article number 1700623, by Xiaowei Zeng, Lin Mei, and co‐workers, a pH‐sensitive drug delivery vehicle based on TPGS‐modified polydopamine‐coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles is developed. This nanoparticle shows good performance inhibiting cancer multidrug resistance by suppressing the function of the P‐glycoprotein. This drug‐loaded delivery platform exhibits significantly superior antitumor...
A nanocarrier system of d‐a‐tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS)‐functionalized polydopamine‐coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (NPs) is developed for sustainable and pH‐responsive delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) as a model drug for the treatment of drug‐resistant nonsmall cell lung cancer. Such nanoparticles are of desired particle size, drug loading, and drug release profile. The...
The asymmetrical features and unique properties of multibuilding block Janus nanostructures (JNSs) provide superior functions for biomedical applications. However, their production process is very challenging. This problem has hampered the progress of JNS research and the exploration of their applications. In this study, an asymmetrical multibuilding block gold/iron oxide JNS has been generated to...
