Abstract
Growing attention has been paid to the rational treatment of antibiotics-bearing medical wastewater. However, the complexity of polluted wastewater makes the later comprehensive treatment difficult only by the Advanced Oxidation Process technique. Therefore, the coupled water treatment techniques including contaminant mineralization and regeneration of cleanwater become very attractive. A bimetallic functional hollow nanoreactor defined as (Co@SiO2/Cu-X) was successfully constructed by coating a Cu-doped silica layer on the metal-organic framework (ZIF-67) followed by programmed calcination in nitrogen. The nanoreactor was endowed with a hollow configuration composed of mesoporous N-doping C-Silica hybrid shell encapsulated ultrafine Cu and Co metallic species. Such a configuration allows for the efficient diffusion and open reaction space of big contaminant molecules. The catalytic synergy of exposed Co-Cu bimetals and the easy accessibility of electron-rich contaminants by polar N doping sites triggered surface affinity make the optimal Co@SiO2/Cu-6 afford an excellent catalytic norfloxacin mineralization activity (7 min, kabs=0.744 min-1) compared to Cu-free Co@SiO2-6 (kabs=0.493 min-1) and Co-6 (kabs=0.378 min-1) Benefiting from the above unique advantages, Co@SiO2/Cu-6 show excellent removal performance in degrading different pollutants (carbamazepine, oxytetracycline, tetracycline, and bisphenol A) and persistent recycled stability in removing NFX. In addition, by virtue of the excellent photothermal properties, interfacial solar water evaporation application by Co@SiO2/Cu-6 was further explored to reach the regeneration of cleanwater (1.595 kg m-2 h-1, 97.51 %). The integration of pollutant mineralization and solar water evaporation by creating the monolith evaporation by anchoring the Co@SiO2/Cu-6 onto the tailored melamine sponge allows the regeneration of cleanwater (1.6 kg⋅m-2⋅h-1) and synchronous pollutant removal (NFX, 95 %, 60 min), which provides potential possibility the treatment of complicated wastewater.

Abstract
Designing porous structures is key in materials science, particularly for separation, catalysis, and cell culture systems. Bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gels represent a unique class of soft matter formed by kinetically arresting the separation of the spinodal decomposition phase, which is stabilized by colloidal particles with neutral wetting. This study introduces a microfluidic technique to create highly interconnected open-porous particles using bijel droplets stabilized with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-modified silica particles. Monodisperse droplets comprising a hydrophobic monomer, water, ethanol, silica particles, and CTAB were initially formed in the microfluidic device. The diffusion of ethanol from these droplets into the continuous cyclohexane phase triggered spinodal decomposition within the droplets. The phase-separated structure within the droplets was stabilized by the CTAB-modified silica particles, and subsequent photopolymerization yielded microparticles with highly interconnected, open pores. Moreover, the influence of the ratio of the CTAB and silica particles, fluid composition, and microchannel direction on the final structure of the microparticles was explored. Our findings indicated that the phase-separated structure of the particles transitioned from oil-in-water to water-in-oil as the CTAB/silica ratio was increased. At intermediate CTAB/silica ratios, microparticles with bicontinuous structures were formed. Regardless of the fluid composition, the pore size of the particles increased with time after phase separation. However, this coarsening was arrested 15 s after droplet formation in the CTAB-modified silica particles, accompanied by a change in the particle shape from spherical to ellipsoidal. In situ observations of the bijel droplet formation revealed that the particle shape deformation is caused by the rolling of elastic bijel droplets at the bottom of the microchannel. As such, the channel setup was altered from horizontal to vertical to prevent the deformation of bijel droplets, resulting in spherical particles with open pores.

Abstract
The development of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probes with high sensitivity and stability is imminent to improve the accuracy of cancer diagnosis. Here, an exclusive core-Janus satellite (CJS) assembly was constructed by a hierarchical assembly strategy in which the Au-Ag Janus satellite is vertically self-aligned on the core surface. In the process, a silica shell template was ingeniously employed to asymmetrically mask the presatellites for the in situ formation of the Janus structure, and a series of Janus satellites with different morphologies were developed by regulating the encapsulated area of the presatellites. The ordered-oriented arrangement of Au-Ag Janus and unique heterojunction morphology permit CJS assemblies, featuring two types of plasmonic nanogaps, including intrananocrevices for individual Janus and internanogaps between neighboring Janus, thereby multiplying the "hotspots" compared to conventional core-monotonous satellites, which contributes to superior SERS activity. As anticipated, the enhancement factor of CJS assemblies was as high as 3.8 × 108. Moreover, it is intriguing that the directional distribution and head physically immobilized by Janus provided uniform and stable SERS signals. The SERS probe based on the CJS assembly for the detection of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 resulted in an ultrahigh sensitivity with a limit of detection of 3.7 × 10-5 IU·mL-1, which is nearly 10 times lower than other SERS probes, and a wide detection range of 3 × 10-5 to 1 × 104 IU·mL-1. The CJS assembly with excellent SERS performance is promising to advance further development of the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Concerns about food safety have been arisen due to the improper use of chemicals in aquaculture. Malachite green (MG) has attracted attention because of its illegal usage and its potential negative impacts on the environment and public health. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platforms coupled with different SERS substrates have been employed for rapid analysis of MG residues in food. However, the most commonly used SERS substrates were non-reusable and showed limited detection sensitivity. In this study, a novel SERS substrate with a good recyclability and a high sensitivity was prepared by electrostatically assembling together a metal-organic framework material called materials of institute lavoisie-100(Fe) (MIL-100(Fe)) and Au NPs. The lowest detectable concentration of MG was 10-13 M based on the optimal substrate. The SERS sensor was applied for the detection of the trace MG in fish pond water, which was accomplished with the correlation coefficients R2 = 0.991-0.996 in a concentration range of 10-6-10-13 M. Moreover, MIL-100(Fe)/Au was recycled at least five times, realizing a "detection to degradation", showing great potential for food contamination monitoring due to its distinguished performance.

Abstract
As a unique member of the graphyne family, gamma-graphyne (γ-graphyne) is a novel kind of 2D carbon allotrope with potential high carrier mobility and large surface area. It remains a great challenge to synthesize graphynes with targeted topologies and good performance. Herein, a novel one-pot method was applied to the synthesis of γ-graphyne using hexabromobenzene and acetylenedicarboxylic acid via a Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling reaction, which is easy to perform with mild reaction conditions, facilitating the possibility of mass production. As a result, the synthesized γ-graphyne reveals a two-dimensional γ-graphyne structure consisting of 1 : 1 sp/sp2 hybridized carbon atoms. Furthermore, γ-graphyne as a carrier for Pd (Pd/γ-graphyne) displayed a superior catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol with a short reaction time and high yields, even in aqueous media under aerobic conditions. Compared with Pd/GO, Pd/HGO, Pd/CNT, and commercial Pd/C, Pd/γ-graphyne showed more excellent catalytic performance with lower palladium loadings. Thus we expect that the novel approach for the synthesis of γ-graphyne will boost research on the design and application of graphyne-type functional materials for catalysis.

Abstract
Polymersomes possess the self-assembly vesicular structure similar to liposomes. Although a variety of comparisons between polymersomes and liposomes in the aspects of physical properties, preparation and applications have been elaborated in many studies, few focus on their differences in drug encapsulation, delivery and release in vitro and in vivo. In the present work, we have provided a modified direct hydration method to encapsulate anti-cancer drug paclitaxel (PTX) into PEG-b-PCL constituted polymersomes (PTX@PS). In addition to advantages including narrow particle size distribution, high colloid stability and moderate drug-loading efficiency, we find that the loaded drug aggregate in small clusters and reside through the polymersome membrane, representing a unique core-satellite structure which might facilitate the sustained drug release. Compared with commercial liposomal PTX formulation (Lipusu®), PTX@PS exhibited superb tumor cell killing ability underlain by multiple pro-apoptotic mechanisms. Moreover, endocytic process of PTX@PS significantly inhibits drug transporter P-gp expression which could be largely activated by free drug diffusion. In glioma mice models, it has also confirmed that PTX@PS remarkably eradicate tumors, which renders polymersomes as a promising alternative to liposomes as drug carriers in clinic.

Abstract
Silica shell coatings, which constitute important technology for nanoparticle (NP) developments, are utilized in many applications. The silica shell's thickness greatly affects distance-dependent optical properties, such as metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) and fluorescence quenching in plasmonic nanocomposites. However, the precise control of silica-shell thicknesses has been mainly conducted on single metal NPs, and rarely on complex nanocomposites. In this study, silica shell-coated Ag nanoparticle-assembled silica nanoparticles (SiO2@Ag@SiO2), with finely controlled silica shell thicknesses (4 nm to 38 nm), were prepared, and quantum dots (QDs) were introduced onto SiO2@Ag@SiO2. The dominant effect between plasmonic quenching and MEF was defined depending on the thickness of the silica shell between Ag and QDs. When the distance between Ag NPs to QDs was less than ~10 nm, SiO2@Ag@SiO2@QDs showed weaker fluorescence intensities than SiO2@QD (without metal) due to the quenching effect. On the other hand, when the distance between Ag NPs to QDs was from 10 nm to 14 nm, the fluorescence intensity of SiO2@Ag@SiO2@QD was stronger than SiO2@QDs due to MEF. The results provide background knowledge for controlling the thickness of silica shells in metal-containing nanocomposites and facilitate the development of potential applications utilizing the optimal plasmonic phenomenon.

Abstract
In this manuscript, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sponges supporting metal nanoparticles (gold and palladium) were developed and their catalytic properties were studied through a model reaction such as the hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol. Different synthetic conditions for gold and palladium were studied to obtain the best catalyst in terms of nanoparticle loading. The as-prepared catalysts were characterized by different techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The catalytic efficiency and recyclability of the supported catalyst were tested in static conditions. In addition, thanks to the porous structure of the material where the catalytic centers (metal nanoparticles) are located, the model reaction for continuous flow systems was tested, passing the reaction components through the catalyst, observing a high efficiency and recyclability for these systems.

Abstract
Eight new stable porous lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-OFs), namely, [Ln2(BPTC)2][(CH3)2NH2]2 [Ln = Ho (1), Eu (2), Gd (3), Dy (4), Er (5), Tm (6), Yb (7), Lu (8)], were prepared by 3,3',5,5'-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid (H4BPTC) and lanthanide ions by solvothermal reactions. Complexes 1-8 show a three-dimensional (3D) 6,6-connected network {412·63}·{48·66·8} topology based on binuclear (Ln2) clusters and feature a one-dimensional curving porous channel occupied by exchangeable dimethylamine cations ([(CH3)2NH2]+) in the 3D anionic frameworks. The occupied [(CH3)2NH2]+ in the anionic channels exhibited excellent ion-exchange ability, which is favorable to Pd2+ and cationic dye adsorption. Consequently, 1-8 were used to load Pd nanoparticles to catalyze the reduction of nitrophenols and adsorb and desorb methyl blue (MB). The catalytic reaction efficiencies of Pd@1-8 were higher than that of Pd/C (5 wt %) in the hydrogenation reaction of p-nitrophenol (p-NP). Moreover, Pd@1 exhibited good cycle stability and achieved nearly 100% p-NP conversion after eight cycles. Meanwhile, compound 1 also exhibited a high adsorption ability of MB, possessing an adsorption capacity of 1.41 g·g-1 (second only to 1.49 g·g-1 reported in the literature) selectively over rhodamine B (RhB) and methyl orange (MO) in aqueous solutions. Remarkably, the skeleton of 1 remained stable after four adsorption-desorption cycles of MB in aqueous solution.

Abstract
The assembled state of nanoparticles (NPs) within porous matrices plays a governing role in directing their biological, electronic, and catalytic properties. However, the effects of the spatial confinement and environmental factors, such as salinity, on the NP assemblies within the pores are poorly understood. In this study, we use adsorption isotherms, spectrophotometry, and small-angle neutron scattering to develop a better understanding of the effect of spatial confinement on the assembled state and catalytic performance of gold (Au) NPs in propylamine-functionalized SBA-15 and MCM-41 mesoporous silica materials (mSiO2). We carry out a detailed investigation of the effect of pore diameter and ionic strength on the packing and spatial distribution of AuNPs within mSiO2 to get a comprehensive insight into the structure, functioning, and activity of these NPs. We demonstrate the ability of the adsorbed AuNPs to withstand aggregation under high salinity conditions. We attribute the observed preservation of the adsorbed state of AuNPs to the strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged pore walls and AuNPs. The preservation of the structure allows the AuNPs to retain their catalytic activity for a model reaction in high salinity aqueous solution, here, the reduction of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol, which otherwise is significantly diminished due to bulk aggregation of the AuNPs. This fundamental study demonstrates the critical role of confinement and dispersion salinity on the adsorption and catalytic performance of NPs.

Abstract
As cancer is increasingly considered a metabolic disorder, it is postulated that serum metabolite profiling can be a viable approach for detecting the presence of cancer. By multiplexing mass spectrometry fingerprints from two independent nanostructured matrixes through machine learning for highly sensitive detection and high throughput analysis, we report a laser desorption/ionization (LDI) mass spectrometry-based liquid biopsy for pan-cancer screening and classification. The Multiplexed Nanomaterial-Assisted LDI for Cancer Identification (MNALCI) is applied in 1,183 individuals that include 233 healthy controls and 950 patients with liver, lung, pancreatic, colorectal, gastric, thyroid cancers from two independent cohorts. MNALCI demonstrates 93% sensitivity at 91% specificity for distinguishing cancers from healthy controls in the internal validation cohort, and 84% sensitivity at 84% specificity in the external validation cohort, with up to eight metabolite biomarkers identified. In addition, across those six different cancers, the overall accuracy for identifying the tumor tissue of origin is 92% in the internal validation cohort and 85% in the external validation cohort. The excellent accuracy and minimum sample consumption make the high throughput assay a promising solution for non-invasive cancer diagnosis. As cancer is increasingly considered a metabolic disorder, it is postulated that serum metabolite profiling can be a viable approach for detecting the presence of cancer. Here, the authors report a machine learning model using mass spectrometry-based liquid biopsy data for pan-cancer screening and classification.

Abstract
Uniform-sized iron oxide nanoparticles obtained from the solution phase thermal decomposition of the iron-oleate complex were encapsulated inside the silica shell by the reverse microemulsion technique, and then thermal treatment under NH3 to transfer the iron oxide to iron nitride. The transmission electron microscopy images distinctly demonstrated that the as-prepared iron nitride at silica core/shell nanostructures were highly uniform in particle-size distribution. By using iron oxide nanoparticles of 6.1, 10.3, 16.2, and 21.8 nm as starting materials, iron nitride nanoparticles with average diameters of 5.6, 9.3, 11.6, and 16.7 nm were produced, respectively. The acid-resistant properties of the iron nitride at silica core/shell nanostructures were found to be much higher than the starting iron oxide at silica. A superconducting quantum interference device was used for the magnetic characterization of the nanostructure. Besides, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies using iron nitride at silica nanocomposites as contrast agents demonstrated T 2 enhanced effects that were dependent on the concentration. These core/shell nanostructures have enormous potential in magnetic nanodevice and biomedical applications. The current process is expected to be easy for large-scale and transfer other metal oxide nanoparticles.

Abstract
A facile one-step method for synthesis of magnetic core-shell nanocomposite composed of h-Fe3O4 (hollow Fe3O4) core and stable PDA (polydopamine) shell with functional Ag NPs (silver nanoparticles) evenly distributed between them is developed. The h-Fe3O4@Ag/PDA nanocomposite showed excellent catalytic activity in the reaction for reducing azo dyes (methyl orange, methylene blue, and congo red), and the ratios of k values to the weight of h-Fe3O4@Ag/PDA were calculated to be 0.302, 0.0545, and 0.895 min-1 mg-1, respectively. Besides, the h-Fe3O4@Ag/PDA nanocomposite also exhibited good antibacterial activity in the experiment of culturing Bacillus subtilis, and the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) was as low as 12.5 μg/mL. Because the Ag NPs will not be leached in the solution under the protection of the PDA shell, the catalytic and antibacterial activities of h-Fe3O4@Ag/PDA nanocomposite could maintain more than 90% after five cycles. Intriguingly, this simple synthetic method can be extended to fabricate different multifunctional nanocomposites such as the spherical SiO2@Ag/PDA and rod-like Fe2O3@Ag/PDA. Overall, the facile fabrication process, the superior catalytic and antibacterial activity, and the excellent stability, endow the h-Fe3O4@Ag/PDA to be a promising nanocomposite.

Abstract
A new and efficient catalyst has been designed and prepared via in situ immobilization of Au NPs fabricated polydopamine (PDA)-shelled Fe3O4 nanoparticle anchored over graphene oxide (GO) (GO/Fe3O4@PDA/Au). This novel, architecturally interesting magnetic nanocomposite was fully characterized using different analytical techniques such as Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, elemental mapping, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Electron Spectroscopy. Catalytic activity of this material was successfully explored in the reduction of nitroarenes to their corresponding substituted anilines, using NaBH4 as reducing agent at ambient conditions. The most significant merits for this protocol were smooth and clean catalysis at room temperature with excellent productivity, sustainable conditions, ease of separation of catalyst from the reaction mixture by using a magnetic bar and most importantly reusability of the catalyst at least 8 times without any pre-activation, minimum loss of activity and considerable leaching.

Abstract
In-situ and real-time ultra-sensitive monitoring for the degradation process of environmental pollutants is always an important issue of concern to many people. Herein, a multifunctional magnetic metal-organic framework (MOF)-based composite has been successfully constructed and applied in monitoring the disposal of cationic dyes. Owing to its particular MOFs shell and internal gold particles, the composite can be used as an efficient SERS substrate to ultra-sensitively detect the cationic dyes. Furthermore, the prepared MOF-based composite is also a peroxidase-like nanozyme, which can catalytically degrade the adsorbed cationic dyes. Additionally, the magnetic core in the MOF-based composite offers a good magnetic separation capacity, which makes a facile and rapid separation of the catalyst from the reacted solution for recyclability. This work has provided a new way to monitor the catalytic degradation process by SERS technique in the co-existence of catalyst and dye molecules in the reaction system, which can effectively eliminate the absorption of the catalyst compared with the UV-vis technique, showing promising applications in in-situ and real-time pollution disposal monitoring.

Abstract
Novel magnetic Ag@RF@Fe3O4 core-satellite (MCS) nanocomposites were prepared through in situ photoreduction upon bridging Fe(III) and Ag+ via hydroxyl groups in resorcinol formaldehyde (RF) resin by virtue of the coordination effect. The catalytic activity of MCS nanocomposites was evaluated based on catalytic 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction with NaBH4 as the reducing agent. It was noteworthy that the MCS-3 was beneficial to obtain a superior reaction rate constant of 2.27 min-1 and a TOF up to 72.7 h-1. Moreover, the MCS could be easily recovered by applying an external magnetic field and was reused for five times without significantly decrease in catalytic activity. Kinetic and thermodynamic study revealed that catalytic 4-NP reduction using MCS nanocatalysts obeyed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism and was controlled by the diffusion rate of substrates. Overall, the immobilization of ultra-fine Ag nanoparticles and the extremely negative potentials around MCS nanocomposites, which were effective for the diffusion of reactants, synergistically accelerated the catalytic reduction reactions.

Abstract
A core-satellite-structured surface molecularly imprinted polymer has been synthesized for the enrichment of 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde by pipette tip solid-phase extraction (SPE). In a typical sol-gel process, two silane reagents as functional monomers and 3-phenoxybenzoic acid as the dummy template, the surface imprinting layer was coated on the core-satellite silica microsphere, which formed the core-satellite-structured molecularly imprinted polymer (CSMIP). Compared to the silica-based core-shell ones, this CS-MIP exhibits a stunning surface area (142 m2 g-1) in micrometer size and also overcomes the aggregation trends of core-shell structure in nanoscale. Taking potassium permanganate solution as oxidizer and indicator, the adsorbed 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde can be a quantitatively determined through redox reaction after elution. The value of maximum adsorption capacity and imprinting factor of CS-MIP were calculated to be 87.5 μg mg-1 and 2.13, respectively. These CS-MIPs were packed into commercial pipette tip as the sorbent to concentrate 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde. Under the optimum condition, a liner relationship was achieved in the range 0.200 to 1.00 μg mL-1 and the limit of detection was 81 ng mL-1. Moreover, this customized SPE device exhibits good adsorption capability after six sequential adsorption-desorption cycles, and the high recovery range of 92.2~99.7% of spiked tap water assay demonstrated its potential application for real sample analysis. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of core-satellite molecularly imprinted polymer preparation strategy and customized pipette tip solid-phase extraction device.

Abstract
Core-shell structured magnetic mesoporous polymer or carbon-based microspheres not only possess the combined merits of magnetic particles and stable mesoporous shell but also provide various organic functional groups for further modification and immobilization of active sites, thus opening up more possibility for various applications. Herein, a bottom-up soft-templating strategy is developed to controllably synthesize core-shell magnetic mesoporous polydopamine microspheres (MMP) and their derivative magnetic mesoporous carbon (MMC) microspheres via an amphiphilic block copolymer-directed interface assembly and polymerization (denoted as abc-DIAP) approach. The obtained uniform MMP microspheres have a well-defined structure consisting of magnetic core, silica middle layer and mesoporous PDA shell, uniform mesopores of 11.9 nm, high specific surface areas (235.6 m2 g-1) and rich functional groups. They show fast magnetic separation speed and superior performance in selective adsorption of Cyt.C from complex biosample solutions. Moreover, they can be in situ converted into core-shell magnetic mesoporous carbon (MMC) for efficient in-pore immobilization of ultrafine Au nanoparticles for high-efficiency catalytic epoxidation of styrene with high conversion (88.6%) and selectivity (90.1%) toward styrene oxide.

Abstract
By combined use of wide-angle X-ray scattering, thermo-gravimetric analysis, inelastic neutron scattering, density functional theory and density functional theory molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the structure, dynamics and stability of the water wetting-layer in single-walled aluminogermanate imogolite nanotubes (SW Ge-INTs): an archetypal system for synthetically controllable and monodisperse nano-reactors. We demonstrate that the water wetting-layer is strongly bound and solid-like up to 300 K under atmospheric pressure, with dynamics markedly different from that of bulk water. Atomic-scale characterisation of the wetting-layer reveals organisation of the H2O molecules in a curved triangular sublattice stabilised by the formation of three H-bonds to the nanotube's inner surface, with covalent interactions sufficiently strong to promote energetically favourable decoupling of the H2O molecules in the adlayer. The evidenced changes in the local composition, structure, electrostatics and dynamics of the Ge-INT's inner surface upon the formation of the solid wetting-layer demonstrate solvent-mediated functionalisation of the nanotube's cavity at room temperature and pressure, suggesting new strategies for the design of nano-rectors towards potential control of chemical reactivity in nano-confined volumes.

Abstract
Nonspecificity and low reproducibility are always the main challenges in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection, especially for testing real samples. In this study, we developed a sandwich-like sensor (AuA-pMIP) to detect rhodamine 6G (R6G) by integrating a porous molecularly imprinted polymer (pMIP) with a well-ordered AuNP array (AuA). To form a uniformly distributed hot spot, AuA was fabricated at an oil-water interface and was subsequently fixed between pMIP and a support slide. Finite-difference time-domain simulation indicated that the enhanced electric field covered a distance of ∼2 μm above the AuA, in which the pMIP provided effective mass-transfer channels and sufficient specific binding sites for target molecules. High specificity for AuA-pMIP in R6G detection was demonstrated by comparing the SERS performance of R6G on AuA-pMIP with that of its structural analogues on the same sensor. Remarkably, the stable sandwich-like structure allowed us to achieve a recyclable SERS sensor with high reproducibility. Finally, AuA-pMIP displayed excellent specificity and sensitivity toward R6G in a test based on a real orange juice sample. This study presents a promising method to achieve real sample testing on a SERS platform.

Abstract
In this study, dendritic fibrous core–shell silica particles having cubic morphology with uniform and vertical nanochannels have been successfully synthesised. The synthesized dendritic fibrous nanosilica over a cubic core (cSiO2@DFNS) have been characterized by using various techniques, such as powder X-ray diffraction, TEM, FE-SEM, TGA EDS, FT-IR and N2 adsorption–desorption experiments. The prepared DFNS particles demonstrated a very high surface area and pore diameter. Amine groups were functionalized on the fibres of cSiO2@DFNS and after that silver nanoparticles could be successfully immobilized on amine functionalized cubic silica particles. Due to the presence of a high surface area and a uniform pore diameter, the silver nanoparticle loaded cSiO2@DFNS could be successfully employed as an efficient and recoverable catalyst for reduction of toxic aromatic nitro compounds and degradation of organic dyes. Higher catalytic activity of the prepared material could be attributed to its fibrous morphology which could facilitate proper interactions of the reactants molecules with the silver nanoparticles.

Abstract
Compositional catalysts based on porous supports and incorporated catalytic nanoparticles have achieved great successes during the past decades. However, rational design of synergic catalysts and modulating the interactions between functional supports and catalytic sites are still far from being well developed. In this work, aiming at overcoming the difficulties of comprehensive screening of porous supports and correspondingly matched catalytic sites, a cationic porous aromatic framework as a capturing platform and polyoxometalate anions as conversion materials are separately designed, and their combination is modularly controlled. The resulting composites show higher catalytic activities than the corresponding conversion sites themselves. Notably, the resulting composites uncommonly exhibit increased surface area and enlarged pore openings after the incorporation of nanoparticles, and lead to the promotion of mass transfer within the porous supports. The emergence of a hierarchical structure with increased surface area induced by guest loading is desired in heterogeneous catalysis. The reciprocal modulation of both capture and conversion materials results in enhanced conversion and increased reaction rate, indicating the successful preparation of synergic catalysts by this separate design approach.

Abstract
The construction of multiple types of active sites on the surface of a metallic catalyst can markedly enhance its catalytic activity toward specific reactions. Here, we show that heterophase gold nanowires (Au NWs) with multiple types of active surface sites can be synthesized using an etching-assisted process, yielding the highest reported turnover frequency (TOF) for Au catalysts toward the silane oxidation reaction by far. We use synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and aberration-corrected (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to show that the Au NWs contain heterophase structures, planar defects, and surface steps. Moreover, the contribution to the catalytic performance from each type of active sites was clarified. Surface steps on the Au NW catalysts, which were identified using aberration-corrected (scanning) TEM, were shown to play the most important role in enhancing the catalytic performance. By using synchrotron PXRD, it was shown that a small ratio of metastable phases within Au NWs can enhance catalytic activity by a factor of 1.35, providing a further route to improve catalytic activity. Of the three types of surface active sites, surface terminations of planar defects such as twin boundaries (TB) and stacking faults (SF) are less active than metastable phases and surface steps for Au catalysts toward the silane oxidation reaction. Such an etching-assisted synthesis of heterophase Au NWs promises to open new possibilities for catalysis, plasmonic, optics, and electrical applications.

Abstract
Since pioneering work done in the late 1990s, synthesis of functional hollow materials has experienced a rapid growth over the past two decades while their applications have been proven to be advantageous across many technological fields. In the field of heterogeneous catalysis, the development of micro- and nanoscale hollow materials as catalytic devices has also yielded promising results, because of their higher activity, stability, and selectivity. Herein, the architecture and preparation of these catalysts with tailorable composition and morphology are reviewed. First, synthesis of hollow materials is introduced according to the classification of template mediated, template free, and combined approaches. Second, different architectural designs of hollow catalytic devices, such as those without functionalization, with active components supported onto hollow materials, with active components incorporated within porous shells, and with active components confined within interior cavities, are evaluated respectively. The observed catalytic performances of this new class of catalysts are correlated to structural merits of individual configuration. Examples that demonstrate synthetic approaches and architected configurations are provided. Lastly, possible future directions are proposed to advance this type of hollow catalytic devices on the basis of our personal perspectives.

Abstract
Combining catalysts with active colloidal matter could keep catalysts from aggregating, a major problem in chemical reactions. We report a kind of ensemble of bubble-cross-linked magnetic colloidal swarming nanomotors (B-MCS) with enhanced catalytic activity because of the local increase of the nanocatalyst concentration and three-dimensional (3D) fluid convection. Compared with the two-dimensional swarming collective without bubbles, the integral rotation was boosted because of the dynamic dewetting and increased slip length caused by the continuously ejected tiny bubbles. The bubbles cross-link the nanocatalysts and form stack along the vertical axis, generating the 3D network-like B-MCS ensemble with high dynamic stability and low drag resistance. The generated B-MCS ensemble exhibits controllable locomotion performance when applying a rotating magnetic field. Benefiting from locally increased catalyst concentration, good mobility, and 3D fluidic convection, the B-MCS ensemble offers a promising approach to heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
A "smart" core@shell composite nanoparticle (NP) having dual-response mechanisms (i.e., temperature and light) was synthesized, and its efficacy in the loading and release of small molecules was explored. These core@shell NPs are composed of an optically active gold nanoshell (GNS) core and a mesoporous (m-) silica layer (m-SiO2). The GNS@m-SiO2 nanoparticles are further encapsulated within a thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) hydrogel (PNIPAM-co-AA). The multi-responsive composite NPs were designed to create thermally and optically modulated drug-delivery vehicles with a m-SiO2 layer providing additional non-collapsible space for drug storage. The influence of the m-SiO2 layer on the efficacy of loading and release of methylene blue, which serves as a model for a small-molecule therapeutic drug, was evaluated. The "smart" core@shell composite NPs having a m-SiO2 layer demonstrated an improved capacity to load and release small molecules compared to the corresponding NPs with no m-SiO2 shell. Additionally, an efficient response by the composite NPs was successfully induced by the thermal energy generated from the gold nanoshell core upon exposure to near infrared (NIR) stimulation.

Abstract
While tremendous advancements in Ag nanoparticle (AgNP)-based materials have been made, the development of a facile protocol for preparing sub-10 nm AgNPs with controllable size and ultrahigh performance remains a formidable challenge. It is shown that AgNPs/graphene oxide (AgNPs/GO) bearing 2.5, 4.3, and 6.2 nm AgNPs (2.5-AgNPs/GO, 4.3-AgNPs/GO, and 6.2-AgNPs/GO, respectively) could be fabricated via light-induced synthesis. Their catalytic activity toward 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction, which is a "gold standard" for evaluating the performance of noble metal-based catalysts, is studied. When normalized by mole and area, the activity exhibits an order of 4.3-AgNPs/GO > 6.2-AgNPs/GO > 2.5-AgNPs/GO and 6.2-AgNPs/GO > 4.3-AgNPs/GO > 2.5-AgNPs/GO, respectively. This trend is a result of GO-induced electron concentration reduction with decreasing AgNP size. Significantly, under similar conditions, the activity of 4.3-AgNPs/GO is substantially superior to that of numerous state-of-the-art noble metal-based catalysts. The ultrafine size of the AgNPs and their surface accommodation on the unobstructed 2D GO scaffolds without capping reagents/covers, which make the abundantly exposed catalytically active sites highly accessible to substrate molecules, play an important role in their extremely ultrahigh performance. This work paves a new avenue for high-performance AgNP-based materials, and by taking 4-NP reduction as a proof-of-concept, provides new scientific insights into the rational design of surface-based advanced materials.

Abstract
Using interfacial reaction systems for biphasic catalytic reactions is attracting more and more attention due to their simple reaction process and low environmental pollution. Yolk-shell structured materials have broad applications in biomedicine, catalysis, and environmental remediation owing to their open channels and large space for guest molecules. Conventional methods to obtain yolk-shell mesoporous materials rely on costly and complex hard-template strategies. In this study, a mild and convenient nonsacrificial self-template strategy is developed to construct yolk-shell magnetic periodic mesoporous organosilica (YS-mPMO) particles by using the unique swelling-deswelling property of low-crosslinking density resorcinol formaldehyde (RF). The obtained YS-mPMO microspheres possess an amphiphilic outer shell, high surface area (393 m2 g-1 ), uniform mesopores (2.58 nm), a tunable middle hollow space (50-156 nm), and high superparamagnetism (34.4-37.1 emu g-1 ). By tuning the synthesis conditions, heterojunction structured yolk-shell Fe3 O4 @RF@void@PMO particles with different morphologies can be produced. Owing to the amphipathy of PMO framworks, the YS-mPMO particles show great emulsion stabilization ability and recyclability under a magnetic field. YS-mPMO microspheres with immobilized Au nanoparticles (≈3 nm) act as both solid emulsifier for dispersing styrene (St) in water and interface catalysts for selective conversion of St into styrene oxide with a high selectivity of 86%, and yields of over 97%.

Abstract
A new class of core-satellite upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) formed through a kinetically controlled oriented attachment is presented. The core-satellite UCNPs comprising an optically active α-NaYbF4 core and several CaF2 satellites are synthesized by a one-pot sequential injection technique. Compared to conventional core-shell UCNPs, these core-satellite UCNPs show larger surface-to-volume ratios and are suitable for further surface modifications. As a proof-of-concept, a biosensing system is constructed by coating MnO2 nanosheets on the α-NaYbF4:Tm@CaF2 core-satellite UCNPs for high-sensitivity biothiol detection. These core-satellite UCNPs show great potential in the development of UCNP-based nanohybrids for biosensing, multimodal imaging and drug delivery.
