Efficient construction of proton transport channels in proton exchange membranes maintaining conductivity under varied humidity is critical for the development of fuel cells. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold great potential in providing precise and fast ion transport channels. However, the preparation of continuous free‐standing COF membranes retaining their inherent structural advantages to...
Chiral carbon nanohoops with both high fluorescence quantum yield and large luminescence dissymmetry factor are essential to the development of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials. Herein, the rational design and synthesis of a series of highly fluorescent chiral carbon nanohoops TP‐[8–13]CPPs via symmetry breaking with a chiral triptycene motif is reported. Theoretical calculations...
Tumor immunotherapy is an important tool in oncology treatment. However, only a small percentage of patients have an effective immune response to tumor immunotherapy due to the poor infiltration of pro‐inflammatory immune cells in immune “cold” tumors and an immunosuppressive network in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Ferroptosis has been widely used as a novel strategy to enhance tumor immunotherapy...
Sodium metal battery is supposed to be a propitious technology for high‐energy storage application owing to the advantages of natural abundance and low cost. Unfortunately, the uncontrollable dendrite growth critically hampers its practical implementation. Herein, an inorganic/organic hybrid layer of NaF/CF/CC on the surface of Na foil (IOHL‐Na) is designed and synthesized through the in situ reaction...
Noble metal doping can achieve an increase in mass activity (MA) without sacrificing catalysis efficiency and stability, so that alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of the catalyst can be optimized to the maximum degree. However, its excessively large ionic radius makes it difficult to achieve either interstitial doping or substitutional doping under mild conditions. Herein, a hierarchical...
Chemo‐phototherapy has emerged as a promising approach to complement traditional cancer treatment and enhance therapeutic effects. However, it still faces the challenges of drug efflux transporter‐mediated chemoresistance and heat shock proteins (HSPs)‐mediated phototherapy tolerance, which both depend on an excessive supply of adenosine triphosphate. Therefore, manipulating energy metabolism to impair...
In vivo fluorescence imaging can perform real‐time, noninvasive, and high spatiotemporal resolution imaging to accurately obtain the dynamic biological information in vivo, which plays significant roles in the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. However, traditional in vivo fluorescence imaging usually operates in the visible and near‐infrared (NIR)‐I windows, which are severely interfered by...
Many enveloped viruses utilize endocytic pathways and vesicle trafficking to infect host cells, where the acidification of virus‐containing endosomes triggers the virus‐endosome fusion events. Therefore, simultaneous correlation of intracellular location, local pH, and individual virus dynamics is important for gaining insight into viral infection mechanisms. Here, an imaging approach is developed...
Living systems can respond to external stimuli by dynamic interface changes. Moreover, natural wrinkle structures allow the surface to switch dynamically and reversibly from flat to rough in response to specific stimuli. Artificial wrinkle structures have been developed for applications such as optical devices, mechanical sensors, and microfluidic devices. However, chemical molecule‐triggered flexible...
In article number 1900216, Ting Zhang and co‐workers propose a dual‐signal responsive flexible volatile organic compound sensor based on surface wrinkles with both dynamic visual feedback and a quantitative electrical signal. Tunable sensitivity and selectivity are well‐controlled, and the high selectivity toward ethanol vapor is explained by a proximity mechanism. This platform can provide a novel...
In article number 1804930, Xiaobin Hu and co‐workers demonstrate a two‐layer ferroelectric heterojunction, in which BiFeO3 acts as the 3D macroporous skeleton and LiNbO3 as the passivation layer. This photoanode exhibits a tremendous enhancement of photocurrent density in a HCO3‐/CO2 system. Photoelectrochemical impedance spectroscopy suggests that the synergistic effect of the skeleton and passivation...
Photoelectrochemical carbon dioxide conversion to fuels such as carbon monoxide, methanol, and ethylene exhibits great potential to solve energy issues. Unfortunately, CO2 conversion efficiency is still low due to violent charge recombination at the photoanode. Herein, a novel 3D macroporous ferroelectric heterojunction composed of BiFeO3 and LiNbO3 is developed by a template‐assisted sol–gel method,...
The insulator of the sulfur cathode and the easy dendrites growth of the lithium anode are the main barriers for lithium–sulfur cells in commercial application. Here, a 3D NPC@S/3D NPC@Li full cell is reported based on 3D hierarchical and continuously porous nickel photonic crystal (NPC) to solve the problems of sulfur cathode and lithium anode at the same time. In this case, the 3D NPC@S cathode...
Autophagy is closely related to virus‐induced disease and a comprehensive understanding of the autophagy‐associated infection process of virus will be significant for developing more effective antiviral strategies. However, many critical issues and the underlying mechanism of autophagy in virus entry still need further investigation. Here, this study unveils the involvement of autophagy in influenza...
A novel self‐powered photodetector based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/n‐Si p‐n vertical heterojunction with high sensitivity and fast response time is presented. The photodetector contains a p‐n vertical heterojunction between a drop‐casted rGO thin film and n‐Si. Contacts between the semiconductor layer (rGO, n‐Si) and source–drain Ti/Au electrodes allow efficient transfer of photogenerated charge...
