Abstract
Cobalt diselenide (CoSe2) has drawn great concern as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its considerable theoretical capacity. Nevertheless, the poor cycling stability and rate performance still impede its practical implantation. Here, CoSe2/nitrogen-doped carbon-skeleton hybrid microcubes with a TiO2 layer (denoted as TNC-CoSe2) are favorably prepared via a facile template-engaged strategy, in which a TiO2-coated Prussian blue analogue of Co3[Co(CN)6]2 is used as a new precursor accompanied with a selenization procedure. Such structures can concurrently boost ion and electron diffusion kinetics and inhibit the structural degradation during cycling through the close contact between the TiO2 layer and NC-CoSe2. Besides, this hybrid structure promotes the superior Na-ion intercalation pseudocapacitance due to the well-designed interfaces. The as-prepared TNC-CoSe2 microcubes exhibit a superior cycling capability (511 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 200 cycles) and long cycling life (456 mA h g-1 at 6.4 A g-1 for 6000 cycles with a retention of 92.7%). Coupled with a sodium vanadium fluorophosphate (Na3V2(PO4)2F3)@C cathode, this assembled full cell displays a specific capacity of 281 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 for 100 cycles. This work can be potentially used to improve other metal selenide-based anodes for rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Throughout history, humanity has been threatened by countless epidemic and pandemic outbreaks of infectious diseases, from the Justinianic Plague to the Spanish flu to COVID-19. While numerous antimicrobial and antiviral drugs have been developed over the last 200 years to face these threats, the globalized and highly connected world of the 21st century demands for an ever-increasing efficiency in the detection and treatment of infectious diseases. Consequently, the rapidly evolving field of nanomedicine has taken up the challenge and developed a plethora of strategies to fight infectious diseases with the help of various nanomaterials such as noble metal nanoparticles, liposomes, nanogels, and virus capsids. DNA nanotechnology represents a comparatively recent addition to the nanomedicine arsenal, which, over the past decade, has made great progress in the area of cancer diagnostics and therapy. However, the past few years have seen also an increasing number of DNA nanotechnology-related studies that particularly focus on the detection and inhibition of microbial and viral pathogens. Herein, a brief overview of this rather young research field is provided, successful concepts as well as potential challenges are identified, and promising directions for future research are highlighted.

Abstract
MXene combining high metal-like conductivity, high hydrophilicity, and abundant surface functional groups has been recognized as a class of versatile two-dimensional materials for many applications. However, the aggregation of MXene nanosheets from interlayer van der Waals force and hydrogen bonds represents a major problem that severely limits their practical use. Here, we report an aerogel structure of MOFs@MXene, in which the in situ formed MOF particles can effectively prevent the accumulation of MXene, enabling a three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical porous conductive network to be composed with an ultralight feature. Subsequently, a 3D porous MXene aerogel threaded hollow CoS nanobox composite ((CoS NP@NHC)@MXene) derived from the MOFs@MXene aerogel precursor was synthesized, and the highly interconnected MXene network and hierarchical porous structure coupled with the ultrafine nanocrystallization of the electrochemically active phase of CoS yield the hybrid system with excellent electron and ion transport properties. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of the components, the (CoS NP@NHC)@MXene composite manifests outstanding electrochemistry properties as electrode materials for all of the lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). It demonstrated the excellent cycle stability and high capacities of 1145.9 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 800 cycles and 574.1 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 after 1000 cycles for LIBs, 420 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 650 cycles for SIBs, and 210 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 500 cycles for PIBs. First-principle calculations confirmed that the (CoS NP@NHC)@MXene hybrid could enhance the charge transfer reaction kinetics, particularly at the interface. More importantly, the excellent rate performance under high mass loading and the high volumetric energy and power density of the entire electrode represent the potential of (CoS NP@NHC)@MXene composites for applications to practical electrochemical energy storage devices. The synthesis method reported in this Article is versatile and can be easily extended to produce other porous MXene-aerogel-based materials for various applications.
