Abstract
Developing eco-friendly catalysts for effective water purification with minimal oxidant use is imperative. Herein, we present a metal-free and nitrogen/fluorine dual-site catalyst, enhancing the selectivity and utilization of singlet oxygen (1O2) for water decontamination. Advanced theoretical simulations reveal that synergistic fluorine-nitrogen interactions modulate electron distribution and polarization, creating asymmetric surface electron configurations and electron-deficient nitrogen vacancies. These properties trigger the selective generation of 1O2 from peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and improve the utilization of neighboring reactive oxygen species, facilitated by contaminant enrichment at the fluorine-carbon Lewis-acid adsorption sites. Utilizing these insights, we synthesize the catalyst through montmorillonite (MMT)-assisted pyrolysis (NFC/M). This method leverages the role of MMT as an in-situ layer-stacked template, enabling controlled decomposition of carbon, nitrogen, and fluorine precursors and resulting in a catalyst with enhanced structural adaptability, reactive site accessibility, and mass-transfer capacity. The NFC/M demonstrates an impressive 290.5-fold increase in phenol degradation efficiency than the single-site analogs, outperforming most of metal-based catalysts. This work not only underscores the potential of precise electronic and structural manipulations in catalyst design but also advances the development of efficient and sustainable solutions for water purification.

Abstract
The recent surge in interest in aqueous ammonium ion rechargeable batteries (AAIBs) has been fueled by their eco-friendliness, efficiency, safety, and sustainability. However, finding the optimal anode material for effective ammonium ion (NH4+) storage remains a nascent and significant challenge. The research presented here focuses on the enhancement of aqueous ammonium rechargeable batteries by incorporating Mo atoms into VO2 (B) (denote as MVO), a material that has shown promise as an anode for NH4+ storage. The introduction of Mo ions was found to optimize the electronic structure and morphology of pristine VO2 (B) (label as PVO), resulting in the transformation of its nanobelts into thin nanobelt-bundles. This alteration exposes more active sites and increases oxygen vacancies, which in turn improve the conductivity and diffusion rate of NH4+ ions, thereby enhancing the overall electrochemical performance of the material. The MVO material demonstrates a high initial capacity of 283.5 mA h g-1 at 0.3 A g-1, and maintained 86.7% of its capacity after 4500 cycles, indicating excellent long-term stability. To further validate the practical application, a full cell was garnered utilizing MVO as the anode and Cu3[Fe(CN)6]2 (CuHCF) as the cathode. The resulting AAIB displays remarkable cycling stability, with 81.5% capacity preservation after 1000 cycles and large energy density of 57.9 W h kg-1. The study reveals that the doping of Mo ions can significantly improve both the stability and NH4+ storage capacity of PVO, offering a promising new direction for the exploitation of efficacious and sustainable NH4+ host materials for rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Transition metals (TMs) have been employed as efficient sources of magnetism in non-magnetic two-dimensional (2D) materials. In this work, doping with chromium (Cr) and vanadium (V) is proposed to induce feature-rich electronic and magnetic properties in a Janus Ga2SO monolayer towards spintronic applications. The Ga2SO monolayer is a 2D semiconductor material with an energy gap of 1.30 (2.12) eV obtained from PBE(HSE06)-based calculations. Considering the structural asymmetry, different vacancy and doping sites are considered. A single Ga vacancy and pair of Ga vacancies magnetize the monolayer with total magnetic moments between 0.69 and 3.13μB, where the half-metallic nature is induced by the single Ga1 vacancy (that bound to the S atom). In these cases, the magnetism is originated mainly from S and O atoms closest to the vacancy sites. Depending on the doping site, either half-metallicity or diluted magnetic semiconductor natures are obtained by doping with Cr and V atoms with total magnetic moments of 3.00 and 2.00μB, respectively. Herein, 3d TM impurities produce mainly the system magnetism. When substituting a pair of Ga atoms, TM atoms exhibit the antiparallel spin alignment to follow the Pauli exclusion principle, retaining the novel electronic characteristics induced by a single TM dopant. Except for the case of doping with a pair of V atoms, total magnetic moments of 2.00 and 1.00μB are obtained by doping with a pair or Cr atoms and Cr/V co-doping, respectively. The non-zero magnetic moment is derived from the different interactions of each TM atom with its neighboring atoms, which will also be studied by Bader charge analysis. Our results introduce new promising 2D spintronic candidates, which are made by structural modifications at Ga sites of a non-magnetic Janus Ga2SO monolayer.

Dhakshinamoorthy A, Ramírez-Grau R, Garcia H, Primo A. Opportunities of MXenes in Heterogeneous Catalysis: V 2C as Aerobic Oxidation Catalyst. Chemistry 2024; 30:e202400576.

Abstract
MXenes are two-dimensional nanomaterials having alternating sheets of one atom-thick early transition metal layer and one atom-thick carbide or nitride layer. The external surface contains termination groups, whose nature depends on the etching agent used in the preparation procedure from the MAX phase. The present concept proposes that, due to their composition, the metal-surface termination groups make MXenes particularly suited as heterogeneous catalysts for some reactions. This proposal comes from the consideration that early transition metal atoms bonded to hydroxyl and oxo groups are a general type of active sites in heterogeneous catalysis and that similar catalytic centers can also be present in the MXene structure. After having presented the concept, we have selected V2C Mxene as an example to illustrate its catalytic activity and to show how the catalytic performance varies when the surface groups are modified. As a test reaction, we selected the aerobic oxidation of indane to the corresponding indanol/indanone mixture using molecular oxygen as terminal oxidizing reagent. Two previously reported procedures to modify the surface groups, namely surface dehydroxylation by thermal treatment under diluted hydrogen flow and surface oxidation with ammonium persulfate to convert some surface groups into oxo groups were used, observing in both cases a decrease in the catalytic activity of V2C. Based on this, VIII/IV-OH are proposed as catalytic centers in this aerobic oxidation. Overall, the present concept shows the merits of MXenes in heterogeneous catalysis, based on their chemical composition and the surface functionality.

Abstract
The extensive applications of MXenes, a novel type of layered materials known for their favorable characteristics, have sparked significant interest. This research focuses on investigating the influence of surface functionalization on the behavior of Mn2NTx (Tx=O2, F2) MXenes monolayers using the "Density functional theory (DFT) based full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave (FP-LAPW)" method. We elucidate the differences in the physical properties of Mn2NTx through the influence of F and O surface functional groups. We found that O-termination results in half-metallic behavior, whereas the F-termination evolves metallic characteristics within these MXene systems. Similarly, surface termination has effectively influenced their optical absorption efficiency. For instance, Mn2NO2 and Mn2NF2 effectively absorb UV light ~50.15×104 cm-1 and 37.71×104 cm-1, respectively. Additionally, they demonstrated prominent refraction and reflection characteristics, which are comprehensively discussed in the present work. Our predictions offer valuable perspectives into the optical and electronic characteristics of Mn2NTx-based MXenes, presenting the promising potential for implementing them in diverse optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
SnOx has received great attention as an electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), however; it still suffers from low activity. Moreover, the atomic-level SnOx structure and the nature of the active sites are still ambiguous due to the dynamism of surface structure and difficulty in structure characterization under electrochemical conditions. Herein, CO2RR performance is enhanced by supporting SnO2 nanoparticles on two common supports, vulcan carbon and TiO2. Then, electrolysis of CO2 at various temperatures in a neutral electrolyte reveals that the application window for this catalyst is between 12 and 30 °C. Furthermore, this study introduces a machine learning interatomic potential method for the atomistic simulation to investigate SnO2 reduction and establish a correlation between SnOx structures and their CO2RR performance. In addition, selectivity is analyzed computationally with density functional theory simulations to identify the key differences between the binding energies of *H and *CO2 -, where both are correlated with the presence of oxygen on the nanoparticle surface. This study offers in-depth insights into the rational design and application of SnOx-based electrocatalysts for CO2RR.

Abstract
Recently, nonmetal NH4 + ions have attracted extensive attention for use as charge carries in the field of energy storage due to their abundant resources, environmental friendliness, and low cost. However, the development of aqueous ammonium-ion batteries (AAIBs) is constrained by the absence of high-voltage and long-life materials. Herein, different tunnel-structure MnO2 materials (α-, β-, and γ-MnO2) are utilized as cathodes for AAIBs and hybrid-ion batteries and compared, and α-MnO2 is demonstrated to exhibit the most remarkable electrochemical performance. The α-MnO2 cathode material delivers the highest discharge capacity of 219 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g-1 and the best cyclability with a capacity retention of 95.4% after 10 000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1. Moreover, aqueous ammonium-ion and hybrid-ion (ammonium/sodium ions) full batteries are successfully constructed using α-MnO2 cathodes. This work provides a novel direction for the development of aqueous energy storage for practical applications.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-based energy storage devices possess superior safety, cost-effectiveness, and high energy density; however, dendritic growth and side reactions on the zinc electrode curtail their widespread applications. In this study, these issues are mitigated by introducing a polyimide (PI) nanofabric interfacial layer onto the zinc substrate. Simulations reveal that the PI nanofabric promotes a pre-desolvation process, effectively desolvating hydrated zinc ions from Zn(H2O)6 2+ to Zn(H2O)4 2+ before approaching the zinc surface. The exposed zinc ion in Zn(H2O)4 2+ provides an accelerated charge transfer process and reduces the activation energy for zinc deposition from 40 to 21 kJ mol-1. The PI nanofabric also acts as a protective barrier, reducing side reactions at the electrode. As a result, the PI-Zn symmetric cell exhibits remarkable cycling stability over 1200 h, maintaining a dendrite-free morphology and minimal byproduct formation. Moreover, the cell exhibits high stability and low voltage hysteresis even under high current densities (20 mA cm-2, 10 mAh cm-2) thanks to the 3D porous structure of PI nanofabric. When integrated into full cells, the PI-Zn||AC hybrid zinc-ion capacitor and PI-Zn||MnVOH@SWCNT zinc-ion battery achieve impressive lifespans of 15000 and 600 cycles with outstanding capacitance retention. This approach paves a novel avenue for high-performance zinc metal electrodes.

Abstract
A V2C MXene has a high theoretical capacity and low diffusion barrier, showing tremendous potential in lithium-ion batteries. However, most reports on V2C focus on a multilayered structure that is stacked, which diminishes the ionic accessibility and results in unsatisfactory cycling stability. Therefore, we synthesized a few-layer V2C (f-V2C) material and added multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The formed f-V2C/MWCNT provides abundant pores, which enhance ionic accessibility, so that Li+ can easily enter the layer space. The introduction of MWCNTs can further separate the f-V2C, expand the specific surface area, reduce the charge transfer resistance, and heighten the structural stability. The experiments reveal that f-V2C/MWCNT has a high specific capacity of 531 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles. Even at a high current density of 5.0 A g-1, the specific capacity can still reach 166 mA h g-1. Moreover, the f-V2C/MWCNT structure shows good cycling stability with a capacity retention rate of 95% after 1000 cycles at 5.0 A g-1. The above findings indicate that f-V2C/MWCNT has great application potential in the field of Li+ storage.

Abstract
Fast charging lithium (Li)-ion batteries are intensively pursued for next-generation energy storage devices, whose electrochemical performance is largely determined by their constituent electrode materials. While nanosizing of electrode materials enhances high-rate capability in academic research, it presents practical limitations like volumetric packing density and high synthetic cost. As an alternative to nanosizing, microscale electrode materials cannot only effectively overcome the limitations of the nanosizing strategy but also satisfy the requirement of fast-charging batteries. Therefore, this review summarizes the new emerging microscale electrode materials for fast charging from the commercialization perspective. First, the fundamental theory of electronic/ionic motion in both individual active particles and the whole electrode is proposed. Then, based on these theories, the corresponding optimization strategies are summarized toward fast-charging microscale electrode materials. In addition, advanced functional design to tackle the mechanical degradation problems related to next generation high capacity alloy- and conversion-type electrode materials (Li, S, Si et al.) for achieving fast charging and stable cycling batteries. Finally, general conclusions and the future perspective on the potential research directions of microscale electrode materials are proposed. It is anticipated that this review will provide the basic guidelines for both fundamental research and practical applications of fast-charging batteries.

Abstract
Cancer cells typically display redox imbalance compared with normal cells due to increased metabolic rate, accumulated mitochondrial dysfunction, elevated cell signaling, and accelerated peroxisomal activities. This redox imbalance may regulate gene expression, alter protein stability, and modulate existing cellular programs, resulting in inefficient treatment modalities. Therapeutic strategies targeting intra- or extracellular redox states of cancer cells at varying state of progression may trigger programmed cell death if exceeded a certain threshold, enabling therapeutic selectivity and overcoming cancer resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Nanotechnology provides new opportunities for modulating redox state in cancer cells due to their excellent designability and high reactivity. Various nanomaterials are widely researched to enhance highly reactive substances (free radicals) production, disrupt the endogenous antioxidant defense systems, or both. Here, the physiological features of redox imbalance in cancer cells are described and the challenges in modulating redox state in cancer cells are illustrated. Then, nanomaterials that regulate redox imbalance are classified and elaborated upon based on their ability to target redox regulations. Finally, the future perspectives in this field are proposed. It is hoped this review provides guidance for the design of nanomaterials-based approaches involving modulating intra- or extracellular redox states for cancer therapy, especially for cancers resistant to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, etc.

Abstract
Due to the increasing demand for higher security and low-cost energy storage systems, the main research focus has been developing a suitable substitute for lithium-ion batteries. Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered the best alternative to lithium-ion batteries in large-scale energy storage devices. Owing to its high capacity, vanadate is a promising cathode material for AZIBs. The crystallographic orientation of cathode materials dramatically influences the rate performance and cycling life. Here, Mg0.57V5O12·2.3H2O (MgVO) with favorable (001) crystal orientation and significantly improved electrochemical performance is prepared by a simple stirring method. The crystal growth orientations of MgVO are altered by adjusting the aging time of the reactant solution. The (001)-orientated grain growth of MgVO delivers a 232.5 mA h g-1 capacity at 5 A g-1 with a 94% capacity retention rate after 1400 cycles. The zinc ion storage performance of MgVO demonstrates that the orientation-controlled method can design effective cathode materials for high-performance ZIBs.

Abstract
Constructing heterojunction of supramolecular arrays self-assembled on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with elaborate charge transfer mechanisms is a promising strategy for the photocatalytic oxidation of organic pollutants. Herein, H12 SubPcB-Br (SubPc-Br) and UiO-66 are used to obtain the step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction SubPc-Br/UiO-66 for the first time, which is then applied in the photocatalytic oxidation of minocycline. Atomic-level B-O-Zr charge-transfer channels and van der Waals force connections synergistically accelerated the charge transfer at the interface of the SubPc-Br/UiO-66 heterojunction, while the establishment of the B-O-Zr bonds also led to the directional transfer of charge from SubPc-Br to UiO-66. The synergy is the key to improving the photocatalytic activity and stability of SubPc-Br/UiO-66, which is also verified by various characterization methods and theoretical calculations. The minocycline degradation efficiency of supramolecular SubPc-Br/UiO-66 arrays reach 90.9% within 30 min under visible light irradiation. The molecular dynamics simulations indicate that B-O-Zr bonds and van der Waals force contribute significantly to the stability of the SubPc-Br/UiO-66 heterojunction. This work reveals an approach for the rational design of semiconducting MOF-based heterojunctions with improved properties.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts, known for their high activity, have garnered significant interest. Currently, single-atom catalysts were prepared mainly on 2D substrates with random distribution. Here, we report a strategy for preparing arrayed single Pt (Pt1) atoms, which are templated through coordination with phosphotungstic acids (PTA) intercalated inside hexagonally packed silicate nanochannels for a high single Pt-atom loading of ca. 3.0 wt %. X-ray absorption spectroscopy, high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, in conjunction with the density-functional theory calculation, collectively indicate that the Pt single atoms are stabilized via a four-oxygen coordination on the PTA within the nanochannels' inner walls. The critical reduction in the Pt-adsorption energy to nearly the cohesive energy of Pt clustering is attributed to the interaction between PTA and the silicate substrate. Consequently, the transition from single-atom dispersion to clustering of Pt atoms can be controlled by adjusting the number density of PTA intercalated within the silicate nanochannels, specifically when the number ratio of Pt atoms to PTA changes from 3.7 to 18. The 3D organized Pt1-PTA pairs, facilitated by the arrayed silicate nanochannels, demonstrate high and stable efficiency with a hydrogen production rate of ca. 300 mmol/h/gPt─approximately twice that of the best-reported Pt efficiency in polyoxometalate-based photocatalytic systems.

Abstract
The insufficient active sites and slow interfacial charge transfer of photocatalysts restrict the efficiency of CO2 photoreduction. The synchronized modulation of the above key issues is demanding and challenging. Herein, strain-induced strategy is developed to construct the Bi-O-bonded interface in Cu porphyrin-based monoatomic layer (PML-Cu) and Bi12O17Br2 (BOB), which triggers the surface interface dual polarization of PML-Cu/BOB (PBOB). In this multi-step polarization, the built-in electric field formed between the interfaces induces the electron transfer from conduction band (CB) of BOB to CB of PML-Cu and suppresses its reverse migration. Moreover, the surface polarization of PML-Cu further promotes the electron converge in Cu atoms. The introduction of PML-Cu endows a high density of dispersed Cu active sites on the surface of PBOB, significantly promoting the adsorption and activation of CO2 and CO desorption. The conversion rate of CO2 photoreduction to CO for PBOB can reach 584.3 μmol g-1, which is 7.83 times higher than BOB and 20.01 times than PML-Cu. This work offers valuable insights into multi-step polarization regulation and active site design for catalysts.

Abstract
Three hydrophobic porphyrin titanium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (HPA/DGIST-1, DPA/DGIST-1, and OPA/DGIST-1) were synthesized through a postsynthetic coordination reaction by using alkylphosphonic acid of different lengths (HPA, hexylphosphonic acid; DPA, dodecylphosphonic acid; OPA, octadecylphosphonic acid). Compared with the hydrophilic DGIST-1, modified DGIST-1 exhibits excellent hydrophobicity and presents good stability in humid atmospheres. Due to the introduction of porphyrin ligands, HPA/DGIST-1, DPA/DGIST-1, and OPA/DGIST-1 showed good visible-light absorption (380-700 nm) and sensitive photogenerated charge responses. When acted as catalysts, these hydrophobic Ti-MOFs can selectively reduce CO2 to HCOO- under visible-light irradiation with average reaction rates of 150.9, 178.5, and 228.3 μmol·h-1·g-1, where these values are 1.3-2.0 times higher than the system mediated by the initial porphyrin Ti-MOF catalyst. 13C NMR spectroscopy demonstrates that the catalytic product HCOO- anion originates from the reactant CO2. The photocatalytic experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance, and photoluminescence spectra tests showed that porphyrin ligands and Ti-O units can act as catalytic activity centers to realize the conversion of CO2 to HCOO-. This work demonstrated that the combination of porphyrin titanium-based MOF and alkyl hydrophobic groups is an effective way to enhance the stability of titanium-based MOFs and maintain their high photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
High-efficiency electromagnetic (EM) wave (EMW)-absorbing materials have attracted extensive scientific and technical interest. Although identifying the dominant EM loss mechanism in dielectric-loss materials is indispensable, it is challenging due to a complex synergism between dipole/interfacial polarization and conduction loss. Modulation of defects and microstructures can be a possible approach to determine the dominant EM loss mechanism and realize high-efficiency absorption. Herein, 2D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) flakes are integrated into a 3D hollow bowl-like structure, which increases defect sites (i.e., oxygen vacancy and lattice defect) and reduces the stacked thickness of rGO. Despite their lower stacked thicknesses, the hollow rGO bowls with more defects exhibit lower conductivities but higher permittivities. Accompanied by the transformation from 2D flakes to 3D hollow bowls, the dominant EM loss mechanism of rGO transforms from conduction loss to defect-induced polarization. Furthermore, the defect engineering and structural design endow rGO with well-matched impedance and strong EMW-absorbing capacity. A minimum reflection loss of -41.6 dB (1.3 mm) and an effective absorption bandwidth of 4.8 GHz (1.5 mm) is achieved at a filler loading of 5 wt%. This study will provide meaningful insights into the development of materials with superior EMW-absorbing performances via defect engineering and structural design.

Abstract
Improving the layered-structure stability and suppressing vanadium (V) dissolution during repeated Zn2+ insertion/extraction processes are key to promoting the electrochemical stability of V-based cathodes for aqueous zinc (Zn)-ion batteries (AZIBs). In this study, barium vanadate (Ba2 V2 O7 , BVO) nanostructures (NSs) are synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method. The formation process of the BVO NSs is controlled by adjusting the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), and these NSs are employed as potential cathode materials for AZIBs. As the H2 O2 content increases, the corresponding electrochemical properties demonstrate a discernible parabolic trend, with an initial increase, followed by a subsequent decrease. Benefiting from the effect of H2 O2 concentration, the optimized BVO electrode with 20 mL H2 O2 delivers a specific capacity of 180.15 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 with good rate capability and a long-term cyclability of 158.34 mA h g-1 at 3 A g-1 over 2000 cycles. Thus, this study provides a method for designing cathode materials with robust structures to boost the electrochemical performance of AZIBs.

Abstract
Nowadays, the increasing emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic microorganisms requires the search for alternative methods that do not cause drug resistance. Phototherapy strategies (PTs) based on the photoresponsive materials have become a new trend in the inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms due to their spatiotemporal controllability and negligible side effects. Among those phototherapy strategies, photocatalytic antimicrobial therapy (PCAT) has emerged as an effective and promising antimicrobial strategy in recent years. In the process of photocatalytic treatment, photocatalytic materials are excited by different wavelengths of lights to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) or other toxic species for the killing of various pathogenic microbes, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and algae. Therefore, this review timely summarizes the latest progress in the PCAT field, with emphasis on the development of various photocatalytic antimicrobials (PCAMs), the underlying antimicrobial mechanisms, the design strategies, and the multiple practical antimicrobial applications in local infections therapy, personal protective equipment, water purification, antimicrobial coatings, wound dressings, food safety, antibacterial textiles, and air purification. Meanwhile, we also present the challenges and perspectives of widespread practical implementation of PCAT as antimicrobial therapeutics. We hope that as a result of this review, PCAT will flourish and become an effective weapon against pathogenic microorganisms and antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
A unique prospect of using halides as charge carriers is the possibility of the halides undergoing anodic redox behaviors when serving as charge carriers for the charge-neutrality compensation of electrodes. However, the anodic conversion of halides to neutral halogen species has often been irreversible at room temperature due to the emergence of diatomic halogen gaseous products. Here, we report that chloride ions can be reversibly converted to near-neutral atomic chlorine species in the Mn3O4 electrode at room temperature in a highly concentrated chloride-based aqueous electrolyte. Notably, the Zn2+ cations inserted in the first discharge and trapped in the Mn3O4 structure create an environment to stabilize the converted chlorine atoms within the structure. Characterization results suggest that the Cl/Cl- redox is responsible for the observed large capacity, as the oxidation state of Mn barely changes upon charging. Computation results corroborate that the converted chlorine species exist as polychloride monoanions, e.g., [Cl3]- and [Cl5]-, inside the Zn2+-trapped Mn3O4, and the presence of polychloride species is confirmed experimentally. Our results point to the halogen plating inside electrode lattices as a new charge-storage mechanism.

Abstract
Coatings of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have potential applications in surface modification for medical implants, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems. Therefore, developing an applicable method for surface-mounted MOF engineering to fabricate protective coating for implant tissue engineering is a crucial issue. Besides, the coating process was desgined for drug infusion and effect opposing chemical and mechanical resistance. In the present review, we discuss the techniques of MOF coatings for medical application in both in vitro and in vivo in various systems such as in situ growth of MOFs, dip coating of MOFs, spin coating of MOFs, Layer-by-layer methods, spray coating of MOFs, gas phase deposition of MOFs, electrochemical deposition of MOFs. The current study investigates the modification in the implant surface to change the properties of the alloy surface by MOF to improve properties such as reduction of the biofilm adhesion, prevention of infection, improvement of drugs and ions rate release, and corrosion resistance. MOF coatings on the surface of alloys can be considered as an opportunity or a restriction. The presence of MOF coatings in the outer layer of alloys would significantly demonstrate the biological, chemical and mechanical effects. Additionally, the impact of MOF properties and specific interactions with the surface of alloys on the anti-microbial resistance, anti-corrosion, and self-healing of MOF coatings are reported. Thus, the importance of multifunctional methods to improve the adhesion of alloy surfaces, microbial and corrosion resistance and prospects are summarized.

Abstract
There is an urgent demand of ultrathin high-performance microwave absorbing materials (MAMs) in the electromagnetic protection field. However, minimizing thickness is challenging mainly due to dielectric mismatch at high permittivity from excessive dielectric loss, leading to strong reflection at 2-18 GHz. Here, a hybrid TaS2 /Co(Cp)2 superlattice is fabricated with alternating [TaS2 ] inorganic layers and [Co(Cp)2 ] organic layers. Dynamic Ta─Co dipoles offer a unique interfacial polarization relaxation mechanism involving the inversion and rotation of dynamic Ta─Co dipoles. The prolonged relaxation time of limited dynamic Ta─Co dipoles contributes to enhanced dielectric matching at high permittivity, which is essential for ultrathin high-performance MAMs. Furthermore, the confinement of paramagnetic Co(Cp)2 molecules in the interlayer space of the diamagnetic TaS2 sublattice triggers unexpected ferromagnetism via interfacial magnetic coupling conducive to the improved microwave-absorbing performance at reduced thickness. Therefore, it presents a 1.271-mm thick ultrathin absorber that can attenuate up to 99.99% of electromagnetic wave energy with a broad effective absorption bandwidth of 4.05 GHz, thus pushing the limits of thickness of 2D-based high-performance MAMs. This paper demonstrates a new strategy toward ultrathin MAMs with tunable and decent electromagnetic loss derived from electrical and magnetic coupling at the atomic scale.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, carbonyl, chlorine, bromine, and iodine species (RXS, where X = O, N, S, C, Cl, Br, and I) have important roles in various normal physiological processes and act as essential regulators of cell metabolism; their inherent biological activities govern cell signaling, immune balance, and tissue homeostasis. However, an imbalance between RXS production and consumption will induce the occurrence and development of various diseases. Due to the considerable progress of nanomedicine, a variety of nanosystems that can regulate RXS has been rationally designed and engineered for restoring RXS balance to halt the pathological processes of different diseases. The invention of radical-regulating nanomaterials creates the possibility of intriguing projects for disease treatment and promotes advances in nanomedicine. In this comprehensive review, we summarize, discuss, and highlight very-recent advances in RXS-based nanomedicine for versatile disease treatments. This review particularly focuses on the types and pathological effects of these reactive species and explores the biological effects of RXS-based nanomaterials, accompanied by a discussion and the outlook of the challenges faced and future clinical translations of RXS nanomedicines.

Abstract
The reduction of CO2 into high value-added chemicals and fuels by a photocatalytic technology can relieve energy shortages and the environmental problems caused by greenhouse effects. In the current work, an amino-functionalized zirconium metal organic framework (Zr-MOF) was covalently modified with different functional groups via the condensation of Zr-MOF with 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (PA), salicylaldehyde (SA), benzaldehyde (BA), and trifluoroacetic acid (TA), named Zr-MOF-X (X = PA, SA, BA, and TA), respectively, through the post-synthesis modification. Compared with Zr-MOF and Zr-MOF-TA, the introduction of PA, SA, or BA into the framework of Zr-MOF can not only enhance the visible-light harvesting and CO2 capture, but also accelerate the photogenerated charge separation and transfer, thereby improving the photocatalytic ability of Zr-MOF for CO2 reduction. These results indicate that the modification of Zr-MOF with electron-donating groups can promote the photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Therefore, the current work provides an instructive approach to improve the photocatalytic efficiency of CO2 reduction through the covalent modification of MOFs.

RSC Adv 2023; 13:24617-24627.

Abstract
During the drug release process, the drug is transferred from the starting point in the drug delivery system to the surface, and then to the release medium. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) potentially have unique features to be utilized as promising carriers for drug delivery, due to their suitable pore size, high surface area, and structural flexibility. The loading and release of various therapeutic drugs through the MOFs are effectively accomplished due to their tunable inorganic clusters and organic ligands. Since the drug release rate percentage (RES%) is a significant concern, a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) method was applied to achieve an accurate model predicting the drug release rate from MOFs. Structure-based descriptors, including the number of nitrogen and oxygen atoms, along with two other adjusted descriptors, were applied for obtaining the best multilinear regression (BMLR) model. Drug release rates from 67 MOFs were applied to provide a precise model. The coefficients of determination (R2) for the training and test sets obtained were both 0.9999. The root mean square error for prediction (RMSEP) of the RES% values for the training and test sets were 0.006 and 0.005, respectively. To examine the precision of the model, external validation was performed through a set of new observations, which demonstrated that the model works to a satisfactory degree.

Abstract
To detect E. coli in food, a simple fluorescent biosensor based on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and carbon quantum dots (CQDs) was developed. The carbon quantum dots were synthesized using a superhydrothermal method with carrot juice as a carbon source. The fluorescence intensity of the CQDs was decreased by induced ssDNA attachment. In the presence of E. coli, ssDNA preferentially binds to E. coli through hydrogen bonding and its fluorescence is greater than that in the absence of E. coli. The results showed that the linear range of the sensor was 1 × 102-1 × 108 CFU mL-1 with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9870. The detection limit for E. coli was 60 CFU mL-1.

Abstract
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a pervasive and harmful phenomenon in modern society that affects the functionality and reliability of electronic devices and poses a threat to human health. To address this issue, EMI-shielding materials with high absorption performance have attracted considerable attention. Among various candidates, two-dimensional MXenes are promising materials for EMI shielding due to their high conductivity and tunable surface chemistry. Moreover, by incorporating magnetic and conductive fillers into MXene/polymer composites, the EMI shielding performance can be further improved through structural design and impedance matching. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review of the recent progress in MXene/polymer composites for absorption-dominated EMI shielding applications. We summarize the fabrication methods and EMI shielding mechanisms of different composite structures, such as homogeneous, multilayer, segregated, porous, and hybrid structures. We also analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these structures in terms of EMI shielding effectiveness and the absorption ratio. Furthermore, we discuss the roles of magnetic and conductive fillers in modulating the electrical properties and EMI shielding performance of the composites. We also introduce the methods for evaluating the EMI shielding performance of the materials and emphasize the electromagnetic parameters and challenges. Finally, we provide insights and suggestions for the future development of MXene/polymer composites for EMI shielding applications.

Abstract
In recent years, solar seawater desalination has been considered to be a promising and cost-effective technique to produce clean sources for water treatment and water deficiency. In addition, this technique shows high photothermal conversion efficiency by solar collectors to transfer solar energy into heat and the transformation of molecules in the capillaries of solar evaporators. In this study, we report the preparation of graphene-supported MIL-125 with polyurethane foam (MGPU) for solar steam generation. We modified MGPU by using the plasmonic nanoparticles of Ag and a polymer of polyaniline to increase the evaporation rate. Polyurethane foam can float on the surface of water and self-pump water by its hydrophilic porous structure, superior thermal insulation capabilities, and easy fabrication. MIL-125 has a high salt rejection and higher water permeability. It can reduce the affinity between water molecules and the pore surface of membrane, making it simple for water molecules to move through the pores. GO is a great alternative for steam generation applications since it exhibits broad-band light. The strong solar absorption, photothermal conversion efficiency, and photoreaction efficiency are enhanced by the use of silver nanoparticles in the photoreaction. The salt resistance capability is enhanced in saline water in the presence of polyaniline in a composite. Under one solar irradiation, the Ag/PANI/GO@MIL-125 (Ag-PMG) nanocomposite demonstrates an average 1.26 kg m2 h-1 rate of evaporation and an efficiency as high as 90%. The composite exhibits remarkable stability and durability after more than 10 cycles of use without a noticeable decrease in activity. In addition, the composite exhibits excellent organic dye removal from contaminated water and generates pure condensed freshwater. The antibacterial photoactivity of the photocatalysts was examined against B. subtilis and E. coli. The results demonstrate that Ag-PMG shows higher antibacterial activity than MIL-125 and PMG. It was shown that the presence of rGO, PANI, and Ag in the sample enhances the antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures have attracted a lot of attention due to their novel properties induced by the synergistic effects of the constituent building blocks. In this work, new lateral heterostructures (LHSs) formed by stitching germanene and AsSb monolayers are investigated. First-principles calculations assert the semimetal and semiconductor characters of 2D germanene and AsSb, respectively. The non-magnetic nature is preserved by forming LHSs along the armchair direction, where the band gap of the germanene monolayer can be increased to 0.87 eV. Meanwhile, magnetism may emerge in the zigzag-interline LHSs depending on the chemical composition. Such that, total magnetic moments up to 0.49 μB can be obtained, being produced mainly at the interfaces. The calculated band structures show either topological gap or gapless protected interface states, with quantum spin-valley Hall effects and Weyl semimetal characters. The results introduce new lateral heterostructures with novel electronic and magnetic properties, which can be controlled by the interline formation.

Abstract
As a straightforward way to fix solar energy, photo/photothermal catalysis with semiconductor provides a promising way to settle the energy shortage and environmental crisis in many fields, especially in clean energy conversion. Topologically porous heterostructures (TPHs), featured with well-defined pores and mainly composed by the derivatives of some precursors with specific morphology, are a major part of hierarchical materials in photo/photothermal catalysis and provide a versatile platform to construct efficient photocatalysts for their enhanced light absorption, accelerated charges transfer, improved stability, and promoted mass transportation. Therefore, a comprehensive and timely review on the advantages and recent applications of the TPHs is of great importance to forecast the potential applications and research trend in the future. This review initially demonstrates the advantages of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis. Then the universal classifications and design strategies of TPHs are emphasized. Besides, the applications and mechanisms of photo/photothermal catalysis in hydrogen evolution from water splitting and COx hydrogenation over TPHs are carefully reviewed and highlighted. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis are also critically discussed.

Abstract
Architecting a desirable and highly efficient nanocomposite for applications like adsorption, catalysis, etc. has always been a challenge. Metal Organic Framework (MOF)-based hierarchical composite has perceived popularity as an advanced adsorbent and catalyst. Hierarchically structured MOF material can be modulated to allow the surface interaction (external or internal) of MOF with the molecules of interest. They are well endowed with tunable functionality, high porosity, and increased surface area epitomizing mass transfer and mechanical stability of the fabricated nanostructure. Additionally, the anticipated optimization of nanocomposite can only be acquired by a thorough understanding of the synthesis techniques. This review starts with a brief introduction to MOF and the requirement for advanced nanocomposites after the setback faced by conventional MOF structures. Further, we discussed the background of MOF-based hierarchical composites followed by synthetic techniques including chemical and thermal treatment. It is important to rationally validate the successful nanocomposite fabrication by characterization techniques, an overview of challenges, and future perspectives associated with MOF-based hierarchically structured nanocomposite.

Abstract
Elastomers generally possess low Young's modulus and high failure strain, which are widely used in soft robots and intelligent actuators. However, elastomers generally lack diverse functionalities, such as stimulated shape morphing, and a general strategy to implement these functionalities into elastomers is still challenging. Here, a microfluidic 3D droplet printing platform is developed to design composite elastomers architected with arrays of functional droplets. Functional droplets with controlled size, composition, position, and pattern are designed and implemented in the composite elastomers, imparting functional performances to the systems. The composited elastomers are sensitive to stimuli, such as solvent, temperature, and light, and are able to demonstrate multishape (bow- and S-shaped), multimode (gradual and sudden), and multistep (one- and two-step) deformations. Based on the unique properties of droplet-embedded composite elastomers, a variety of stimuli-responsive systems are developed, including designable numbers, biomimetic flowers, and soft robots, and a series of functional performances are achieved, presenting a facile platform to impart diverse functionalities into composite elastomers by microfluidic 3D droplet printing.

Abstract
The development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZiBs) towards practical implementations is hampered by unsuitable host cathode materials. Herein, we reported a high-capacity, stable, and long-cycle-life (10 000 cycles) oxygenated copper vanadium selenide composite material (Cu0.59V2O5/Cu0.828V2O5@Cu1.8Se1/Cu3Se2, denoted as O-CuVSe) as a cathode for AZiBs. The newly constructed O-CuVSe composite cathode can be operated in the wide potential window of 0.4-2.0 V, exhibiting a high specific capacity of 154 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 over 100 cycles. Interestingly, the O-CuVSe composite cathode delivered excellent specific capacities of 117 and 101.4 mA h g-1 over 1000 cycles at 1 and 2 A g-1, respectively. Even at a high current density of 5 A g-1, the cathode delivered a high reversible capacity of 74.5 mA h g-1 over an ultra-long cycling life of 10 000 cycles with no obvious capacity fading. Apart from this, the cathode exhibited excellent rate capability at different current densities. The superior electrochemical properties originate from the synergistic effects between the oxygen vacancy engineering and interlayer doping of Cu ions to increase the structural stability during the cycling, enhancing the electron/ion transport kinetics. Moreover, the Zn2+ storage mechanism in the Zn/O-CuVSe aqueous rechargeable battery was explored. This study provides a new opportunity for the fabrication of different kinds of a new class of cathode materials for high-voltage and high-capacity AZiBs and other energy storage devices.

Abstract
Most nanozymes in development for medical applications only exhibit single-enzyme-like activity, and are thus limited by insufficient catalytic activity and dysfunctionality in complex pathological microenvironments. To overcome the impediments of limited substrate availabilities and concentrations, some metal-based nanozymes may mimic two or more activities of natural enzymes to catalyze cascade reactions or to catalyze multiple substrates simultaneously, thereby amplifying catalysis. Metal-based nanozymes with multienzyme-like activities (MNMs) may adapt to dissimilar catalytic conditions to exert different enzyme-like effects. These multienzyme-like activities can synergize to realize "self-provision of the substrate," in which upstream catalysts produce substrates for downstream catalytic reactions to overcome the limitation of insufficient substrates in the microenvironment. Consequently, MNMs exert more potent antitumor, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects in preclinical models. This review summarizes the cellular effects and underlying mechanisms of MNMs. Their potential medical utility and optimization strategy from the perspective of clinical requirements are also discussed, with the aim to provide a theoretical reference for the design, development, and therapeutic application of their catalytic effects.

Abstract
The widespread use of miniaturized electronic gadgets today faces stiff reliability obstacles from factors like stray electromagnetic signals. The challenge is to design lightweight shielding materials that combine small volume and high-frequency operations to reliably reduce/eliminate electromagnetic interference. Herein, in the first of its kind, a sequential interpenetrating polymeric network (IPN) membrane was used to host a CNT construct through a stimuli-responsive trigger. The proposed construct besides being robust, sustainable, and scalable is a universal approach to fabricate a CNT construct where conventional strategies are not amenable. This approach of self-assembling counter-charged CNTs also maximizes the number of CNTs in the final construct, thereby greatly enhancing the shielding performance dominated by 90% absorption in a wide frequency band of 8.2-26.5 GHz. The IPN-CNT construct achieves specific shielding effectiveness in the range of ca. 1607-5715 dB cm2 g-1 by tuning the thickness of the CNT construct with an endearing green index (gs ≈ 1.8). The performance of such an ultra-thin, light-weight IPN-CNT construct remained unchanged when subjected to 10 000 bending cycles and on exposure to different chemical environments, indicating outstanding mechanical/chemical stability.

Abstract
A new and efficient theranostic nanoplatform was developed via a green approach for targeted cancer therapy and fluorescence imaging, without the use of any anticancer chemotherapeutic drugs. Toward this aim, monodisperse and spherical mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) of approximately 50 nm diameter were first synthesized using the sol–gel method and loaded with hydrothermally synthesized anticancer carbon dots (CDs). The resulting MSNs-CDs were then functionalized with chitosan and targeted by an anti-MUC1 aptamer, using the glutaraldehyde cross-linker, and fully characterized by TEM, FE-SEM, EDS, FTIR, TGA, XRD, and BET analysis. Potent and selective anticancer activity was obtained against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells with the maximum cell mortalities of 66.2 ± 1.97 and 71.8 ± 3%, respectively, after 48 h exposure with 100 μg mL−1 of the functionalized MSNs-CDs. The maximum mortality of 40.66 ± 1.3% of normal HUVEC cells was obtained under the same conditions. Based on the results of flowcytometry analysis, the apoptotic mediated cell death was recognized as the main anticancer mechanism of the MSNs-CDs. The fluorescence imaging of MCF-7 cancer cells was also studied after exposure with MSNs-CDs. The overall results indicated the high potential of the developed nanoplatform for targeted cancer theranostics. Efficient cancer therapy and fluorescence imaging was obtained by aptamer targeted mesoporous silica nanoparticles incorporating carbon dots.![]()

Abstract
Ultrahigh-field magnetic resonance imaging (UHF-MRI) has been attracting tremendous attention in biomedical imaging owing to its high signal-to-noise ratio, superior spatial resolution, and fast imaging speed. However, at UHF-MRI, there is a lack of proper imaging probes that can impart superior imaging sensitivity of disease lesions because conventional contrast agents generally produce pronounced susceptibility artifacts and induce very strong T2 decay effects, thus hindering satisfactory imaging performance. This review focused on the recent development of high-performance nanoprobes that can improve the sensitivity and specificity of UHF-MRI. Firstly, the contrast enhancement mechanism of nanoprobes at UHF-MRI has been elucidated. In particular, the strategies for modulating nanoprobe performance, including size effects, metal alloying and magnetic-dopant effects, surface effects, and stimuli-response regulation, have been comprehensively discussed. Furthermore, we illustrate the remarkable advances in the design of UHF-MRI nanoprobes for medical diagnosis, such as early-stage primary tumor and metastasis imaging, angiography, and dynamic monitoring of biosignaling factors in vivo. Finally, we provide a summary and outlook on the development of cutting-edge UHF-MRI nanoprobes for advanced biomedical imaging.
