As an important aspect of crystal phase engineering, controlled crystal phase transformation of noble metal nanomaterials has emerged as an effective strategy to explore novel crystal phases of nanomaterials. In particular, it is of significant importance to observe the transformation pathway and reveal the transformation mechanism in situ. Here, the phase transformation behavior of face‐centered...
Transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit several different phases (e.g., semiconducting 2H, metallic 1T, 1T′) arising from the collective and sluggish atomic displacements rooted in the charge‐lattice interaction. The coexistence of multiphase in a single sheet enables ubiquitous heterophase and inhomogeneous charge distribution. Herein, by combining the first‐principles calculations and experimental...
Many candidate anticancer drugs have suffered from their intrinsic hydrophobicity, which poses several obstacles for clinical application. To overcome this challenge and further improve the performance, herein a nanocrystal‐based biomimetic formulation with a sandwich structure is developed. As the core, flake shaped nanocrystals (NCs) with high loading of the hydrophobic drug hydroxycamptothecin...
In article number 1805544, Wei Wei, Guanghui Ma, and co‐workers develop a nanocrystal‐based delivery system for safe and high‐performance chemo‐photothermal combination therapy. As the core, flake shaped hydrophobic drug nanocrystals are camouflaged with cancer cell membranes for homotypic targeting capacity at tumor sites. Meanwhile, a photosensitizer sandwiched between the nanocrystal and membrane...
High‐capacity anodes of lithium‐ion batteries generally suffer from poor electrical conductivity, large volume variation, and low tap density caused by prepared nanostructures, which make it an obstacle to achieve both high‐areal capacity and stable cycling performance for practical applications. Herein, micrometer‐sized porous Fe2N/C bulk is prepared to tackle the aforementioned issues, and thus...
The rising dangers of bacterial infections have created an urgent need for the development of a new generation of antibacterial nanoagents and therapeutics. A new near‐infrared 808 nm laser‐mediated nitric oxide (NO)‐releasing nanovehicle (MoS2‐BNN6) is reported through the simple assembly of α‐cyclodextrin‐modified MoS2 nanosheets with a heat‐sensitive NO donor N,N′‐di‐sec‐butyl‐N,N′‐dinitroso‐1,4‐phenylenediamine...
A novel 3D cobalt sulfide (CoS) nanoparticle‐decorated nitrogen and sulfur co‐doped reduced graphene oxide aerogel (NSGA), referred to as CoS/NSGA, is prepared via three sequential processes, i.e., freeze‐drying, annealing, and sulfidization. The obtained CoS/NSGA exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance in the alkaline solution.
A facile in situ synthetic method is developed to synthesize metal sulfide nanoparticles based on 2D M‐TCPP (M = Cu, Cd, or Co, TCPP = tetrakis(4‐carboxyphenyl)porphyrin)) metal‐organic framework nanosheets. The obtained CuS/Cu‐TCPP composite nanosheet is used as the active material in photoelectrochemical cells, showing notably increased photocurrent due to the improved exciton separation and charge...
Durable electrocatalysts with high catalytic activity toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are crucial to high‐performance primary zinc‐air batteries (ZnABs) and direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). An efficient composite electrocatalyst, Co@Co3O4 core@shell nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in pyrolyzed polydopamine (PPD) is reported, i.e., in Co@Co3O4@PPD core@bishell structure, obtained via a three‐step...
The high‐yield and scalable production of single‐layer ternary transition metal dichalcogenide nanosheets with ≈66% of metallic 1T phase, including MoS2xSe2(1–x) and MoxW1–xS2 is achieved via electrochemical Li‐intercalation and the exfoliation method. Thin film MoS2xSe2(1‐x) nanosheets drop‐cast on a fluorine‐doped tin oxide substrate are used as an efficient electrocatalyst on the counter electrode...
