Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has recently been considered a potential tumor therapy due to its time‐space specificity and non‐invasive advantages. PDT can not only directly kill tumor cells by using cytotoxic reactive oxygen species but also induce an anti‐tumor immune response by causing immunogenic cell death of tumor cells. Although it exhibits a promising prospect in treating tumors, there are still...
The detection of biomolecules at the single molecule level has important applications in the fields of biosensing and biomedical diagnosis. The solid‐state nanopore (SS nanopore) is a sensitive tool for detecting single molecules because of its unique label‐free and low sample consumption properties. SS nanopore translocation of small biomolecules is typically driven by an electronic field force and...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common lethal brain tumor with dismal treatment outcomes and poor response to chemotherapy. As the regulatory center of cytogenetics and metabolism, most tumor chemotherapeutic molecules exert therapeutic effects in the nucleus. Nanodrugs showing the nuclear aggregation effect are expected to eliminate and fundamentally suppress tumor cells. In this study, a nanodrug...
In recent years, three‐dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) materials have attracted tremendous interest in the field of photocatalysis due to the periodic spatial structure and unique physicochemical properties of 3DOM catalysts. In this review, the fundamentals and principles of 3DOM photocatalysts are briefly introduced, including the overview of 3DOM materials, the photocatalytic principles...
Photocatalytic CO2 conversion into solar fuels is a promising technology to alleviate CO2 emissions and energy crises. The development of core‐shell structured photocatalysts brings many benefits to the photocatalytic CO2 reduction process, such as high conversion efficiency, sufficient product selectivity, and endurable catalyst stability. Core‐shell nanostructured materials with excellent physicochemical...
The localization and accumulation of drugs in the body determine their therapeutic effects; however, the specific microstructure of damaged tissues hinders drug delivery. Currently, there is a shortage of effective drug carriers to breach these barriers and achieve efficient tissue and cellular delivery of drugs. In this study, an injectable double positively charged functional hydrogel microsphere...
Magnesium ion batteries (MIBs) have attracted much attention due to their low cost and high safety properties. However, the intense charge repulsion effect and sluggish diffusion dynamics of Mg2+ ions result in unsatisfactory electrochemical performance of conventional cathode materials in MIBs. This work reports water‐lubricated aluminum vanadate (HAlVO) as high‐performance cathode material for Mg...
Exudate management is critical to improve chronic wound healing. Herein, inspired by a Janus‐structured lotus leaf with asymmetric wettability, a Janus electrospun short fiber scaffold is fabricated via electrospinning technologies and short fiber modeling. This scaffold is composed of hydrophilic 2D curcumin‐loaded electrospun fiber and hydrophobic 3D short fiber via layer‐by‐layer assembly and electrostatic...
The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) provides a sustainable strategy to relieve global warming and achieve carbon neutrality. However, the practical application of CO2RR is still limited by the poor selectivity and low current density. Here, the surface molecular functionalization of unusual phase metal nanomaterials for high‐performance CO2RR under industry‐relevant current...
The design and characterization of purely organic room‐temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials for optoelectronic applications is currently the focus of research in the field of organic electronics. Particularly, with the merits of preparation controllability and modulation flexibility, host–guest material systems are encouraging candidates that can prepare high‐performance RTP materials. By regulating...
Solar‐driven CO2 reaction with water oxidation into alcohols represents a promising approach to achieve real artificial photosynthesis. However, rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers seriously restricts the development of artificial photosynthesis. Herein, a facile method is explored to construct low‐cost Z‐Scheme heterostructure Cu2O/polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) by in situ growth of Cu...
In article number 2001026, Lingling Shui and co‐workers achieve controllable growth of silica nanowires on 3D spherical photonic crystals via a vapor–liquid–solid reaction, with formed nanowire morphology governed by the diffusion‐reaction process of SiO vapor, achieving the directional growth parallel to substrate surface at locations with both high SiO concentration and concentration gradient, and...
A robust and facile method has been developed to obtain directional growth of silica nanowires (SiO2NWs) by regulating mass transport of silicon monoxide (SiO) vapor. SiO2NWs are grown by vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) process on a surface of gold‐covered spherical photonic crystals (SPCs) annealed at high temperature in an inert gas atmosphere in the vicinity of a SiO source. The SPCs are prepared from...
Metallic bismuth (Bi) has been widely explored as remarkable anode material in alkali‐ion batteries due to its high gravimetric/volumetric capacity. However, the huge volume expansion up to ≈406% from Bi to full potassiation phase K3Bi, inducing the slow kinetics and poor cycling stability, hinders its implementation in potassium‐ion batteries (PIBs). Here, facile strategy is developed to synthesize...
The interaction between water and biomolecules including peptides is of critical importance for forming high‐level architectures and triggering life's functions. However, the bulk aqueous environment has limitations in detecting the kinetics and mechanisms of peptide self‐assembly, especially relating to interactions of trace water. With ionic liquids (ILs) as a nonconventional medium, herein, it...
The formation of ultralong peptide crystalline nanobelts using a solvothermal approach from a di‐phenylalanine gel within 10 min, where the self‐assembly process is accelerated by several orders of magnitude compared with the month‐long glutaraldehyde induction method previously reported, has been demonstrated. The solvothermal treatment can facilitate the phase separation of di‐phenylalanine gels...
