Abstract
This work investigated the feasibility of applying headspace solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS) combining olfactory visualization for flavor characterization of black garlic. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) analysis was performed to select important differential VOCs during black garlic processing. A multi-channels nanocomposite CSA assembled with two porous metal-organic frameworks was then developed to characterize flavor profiles changes during black garlic processing, and garlic samples during processing could be divided into five clusters, consistent with VOCs analysis. Artificial neural network (ANN) model outperformed other pattern recognition methods in discriminating processing stages. Furthermore, SVR model for odor sensory scores with the correlation coefficient for prediction set of 0.8919 exhibited a better performance than PLS model, indicating a preferable prediction ability for odor quality. This work demonstrated that the nanocomposite CSA combining appropriate chemometrics can offer an effective tool for objectively and rapidly characterizing flavor quality of black garlic or other food matrixes.

Engineering Zeolitic-Imidazolate-Framework-Derived Mo-Doped Cobalt Phosphide for Efficient OER Catalysts. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:36114-36121.

Abstract
Designing a cheap, competent, and durable catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is exceedingly necessary for generating oxygen through a water-splitting reaction. In this project, we have designed a ZIF-67-originated molybdenum-doped cobalt phosphide (CoP) using a simplistic dissolution-regrowth method using Na2MoO4 and a subsequent phosphidation process. This leads to the formation of an exceptional hollow nanocage morphology that is useful for enhanced catalytic activity. Metal-organic frameworks, especially ZIF-67, can be used both as a template and as a metal (cobalt) precursor. Molybdenum-doped CoP was fabricated through a two-step synthesis process, and the fabricated Mo-doped CoP showed excellent catalytic activity during the OER with a lower value of overpotential. Furthermore, the effect of the Mo amount on the catalytic activity has been explored. The best catalyst (CoMoP-2) showed an onset potential of around 1.49 V at 10 mA cm-2 to give rise to a Tafel slope of 62.1 mV dec-1. The improved catalytic activity can be attributed to the increased porosity and surface area of the resultant catalyst.

Abstract
Inspired by the attractive structures and functions of natural matter (such as cells, organelles and enzymes), chemists are constantly exploring innovative material platforms to mimic natural catalytic systems, particularly liquid-phase hydrogenations, which are of great significance for chemical upgrading and synthesis. Hollow structured nanoreactors (HSNRs), featuring unique nanoarchitectures and advantageous properties, offer new opportunities for achieving excellent catalytic activity, selectivity, stability and sustainability. Notwithstanding the great progress made in HSNRs, there still remain the challenges of precise synthetic chemistry, and mesoscale catalytic kinetic investigation, and smart catalysis. To this extent, we provide an overview of recent developments in the synthetic chemistry of HSNRs, the unique characteristics of these materials and catalytic mechanisms in HSNRs. Finally, a brief outlook, challenges and further opportunities for their synthetic methodologies and catalytic application are discussed. This review might promote the creation of further HSNRs, realize the sustainable production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and contribute to the development of materials science.

Abstract
Conventional catalyst preparative methods commonly entail the impregnation, precipitation, and/or immobilization of nanoparticles on their supports. While convenient, such methods do not readily afford the ability to control collective ensemble-like nanoparticle properties, such as nanoparticle proximity, placement, and compartmentalization. In this Perspective, we illustrate how incorporating colloidal templating into catalyst design for thermocatalysis confers synthetic advantages to facilitate new catalytic investigations and augment catalytic performance, focusing on three colloid-templated catalyst structures: 3D macroporous structures, hierarchical macro-mesoporous structures, and discrete hollow nanoreactors. We outline how colloidal templating decouples the nanoparticle and support formation steps to devise modular catalyst platforms that can be flexibly tuned at different length scales. Of particular interest is the raspberry colloid templating (RCT) method which confers high thermomechanical stability by partially embedding nanoparticles within its support, while retaining high levels of reactant accessibility. We illustrate how the high modularity of the RCT approach allows one to independently control collective nanoparticle properties, such as nanoparticle proximity and localization, without concomitant changes to other catalytic descriptors that would otherwise confound analyses of their catalytic performance. We next discuss how colloidal templating can be employed to achieve spatially disparate active site functionalization while directing reactant transport within the catalyst structure to enhance selectivity in multistep catalytic cascades. Throughout this Perspective, we highlight developments in advanced characterization that interrogate transport phenomena and/or derive new insights into these catalyst structures. Finally, we offer our outlook on the future roles, applications, and challenges of colloidal templating in catalyst design for thermocatalysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUD The global prevalence of diabetes mellitus, a serious chronic disease with fatal consequences for millions annually, is of utmost concern. The development of efficient and simple devices for monitoring glucose levels is of utmost significance in managing diabetes. The advancement of nanotechnology has resulted in the indispensable utilization of advanced nanomaterials in high-performance glucose sensors. Modulating the morphology and intricate composition of transition metals represents a viable approach to exploit their structure/function correlation, thereby achieving optimal electrocatalytic performance of the synthesized catalysts. RESULTS Herein, a sensitive and rapid Cu-encapsulated Cu2S@nitrogen-doped carbon (Cu@Cu2S@N-C) hollow nanocubes-functionalized microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μ-PAD) was fabricated. Through a delicate sacrificial template/interface technique and thermal decomposition, inter-connected hollow networks were formed to boost the active sites, and the carbon shell was coated to protect Cu from being oxidation. For application, the constructed μ-PAD is used for glucose sensing utilizing an origami automated sample pretreatment system enabled by a simple application of strong alkaline solution on wax paper. Under optimal circumstances, the Cu@Cu2S@N-C electrochemical biosensor exhibits broad detection range of 2-7500 μM (R2 = 0.996) with low detection limit of 0.16 μM (S/N = 3) and high sensitivity of 1996 μA mM-1 cm-2. Additionally, the constructed μ-PAD also exhibited excellent selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. SIGNIFICANCE By rationally designing the double-shell hollow nanostructure and introducing Cu-encapsulated inner layer, the synthesized Cu@Cu2S@N-C hollow nanocubes show large specific surface area, short diffusion channels, and high stability. The proposed origami μ-PAD has been successfully applied to serum samples without any additional sample preparation steps for glucose determination, offering a new perspective for early nonenzymatic glucose diagnosis.

Abstract
Semiconductor hollow spheres have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their unique structural properties and enhanced surface area, which are advantageous for various applications in catalysis, energy storage, and sensing. The present study explores the surfactant-assisted synthesis of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) hollow spheres, emphasizing their enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity. Utilizing a novel, facile, two-step evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) approach, monodisperse BiFeO3 hollow spheres were synthesized with a narrow particle size distribution. The synthesis involved Bi/Fe citrate complexes as precursors and the triblock copolymer Pluronic P123 as a soft template. The BiFeO3 hollow spheres demonstrated outstanding photocatalytic performance in degrading the emerging pollutants Rhodamine B and metronidazole under visible-light irradiation (100% degradation of Rhodamine B in <140 min and of metronidazole in 240 min). The active species in the photocatalytic process were identified through trapping experiments, providing crucial insights into the mechanisms and efficiency of semiconductor hollow spheres. The findings suggest that the unique structural features of BiFeO3 hollow spheres, combined with their excellent optical properties, make them promising candidates for photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
In recent decades, with the rapid development of the inorganic synthesis and the increasing discharge of pollutants in the process of industrialization, hollow-structured metal oxides (HSMOs) have taken on a striking role in the field of environmental catalysis. This is all due to their unique structural characteristics compared to solid nanoparticles, such as high loading capacity, superior pore permeability, high specific surface area, abundant inner void space, and low density. Although the HSMOs with different morphologies have been reviewed and prospected in the aspect of synthesis strategies and potential applications, there has been no systematic review focusing on the structures and compositions design of HSMOs in the field of environmental catalysis so far. Therefore, this review will mainly focus on the component dependence and controllable structure of HSMOs in the catalytic elimination of different environmental pollutants, including the automobile and stationary source emissions, volatile organic compounds, greenhouse gases, ozone-depleting substances, and other potential pollutants. Moreover, we comprehensively reviewed the applications of the catalysts with hollow structure that are mainly composed of metal oxides such as CeO2, MnOx, CuOx, Co3O4, ZrO2, ZnO, Al3O4, In2O3, NiO, and Fe3O4 in automobile and stationary source emission control, volatile organic compounds emission control, and the conversion of greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances. The structure-activity relationship is also briefly discussed. Finally, further challenges and development trends of HSMO catalysts in environmental catalysis are also prospected.

Abstract
Ni single atom containing hollow carbon nanospheres with nitrogen doping has been synthesized by carbonization of Ni(NO3)2/phloroglucinol-formaldehyde polymer/silica composite. The samples have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, electron microscopic, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies. The microstructure and surface area vary with the amount of Ni(NO3)2 employed in the syntheses and the carbonization environment. An optimized amount of nickel and argon as the carbonization gas afford Ni-1.0@N@HCN-Ar which possesses overall superior features. The uniformly dispersed Ni single atoms within the hollow porous carbon framework fully utilize all the electroactive sites thereby improving the supercapacitive performance. The specific capacitance of Ni-1.0@N@HCN-Ar reaches 777 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 with a Coulombic efficiency of 98.4 % and excellent recyclability. The energy and power density of Ni-1.0@N@HCN-Ar are found to be high; at 1 A g-1 its energy density is 155.4 Wh kg-1 with a power density of 600.3 W kg-1. At a high current density of 10 A g-1 the material shows a high energy density of 118.4 Wh kg-1 with excellent power density of 6003.4 W kg-1. A symmetric solid-state supercapacitor assembled with this material, Ni-1.0@N@HCN-Ar//Ni-1.0@N@HCN-Ar using H2SO4/PVA gel electrolyte shows a superior energy density value of 30 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 1200 W kg-1.

Abstract
Ultrasmall mesoporous nanoparticles (<50 nm), a unique porous nanomaterial, have been widely studied in many fields in the last decade owing to the abundant advantages, involving rich mesopores, low density, high surface area, numerous reaction sites, large cavity space, ultrasmall size, etc. This paper presents a review of recent advances in the preparation, functionalization, and applications of ultrasmall inorganic mesoporous nanoparticles for the first time. The soft monomicelles-directed method, in contrast to the hard-template and template-free methods, is more flexible in the synthesis of mesoporous nanoparticles. This is because the amphiphilic micelle has tunable functional blocks, controlled molecule masses, configurations and mesostructures. Focus on the soft micelle directing method, monomicelles could be classified into four types, i.e., the Pluronic-type block copolymer monomicelles, laboratory-synthesized amphiphilic block copolymers monomicelles, the single-molecule star-shaped block copolymer monomicelles, and the small-molecule anionic/cationic surfactant monomicelles. This paper also reviews the functionalization of the inner mesopores and the outer surfaces, which includes constructing the yolkshell structures (encapsulated nanoparticles), anchoring the active components packed on the shell and building an asymmetric Janus architecture. Then, several representative applications, involving catalysis, energy storage, and biomedicines are presented. Finally, the prospects and challenges of controlled synthesis and large-scale applications of ultrasmall mesoporous nanoparticles in the future are foreseen.

Abstract
The introduction of heteroatoms into hollow carbon spheres is imperative for enhancing catalytic activity. Consequently, we investigated the utilization of nitrogen-oxygen(N/O) co-doped hollow carbon (C)/silica (SiO2) nanospheres (NxC@mSiO2), which have a large internal volume and a nano-constrained environment that limits metal aggregation and loss, making them a potential candidate. In this study, we demonstrate the synthesis of nitrogen-oxygen (N/O) co-doped hollow carbon spheres using resorcinol and formaldehyde as carbon precursors, covered with silica, and encapsulated with palladium nanoparticles (NPs) in situ. The N/O co-doping process introduced defects on the surface of the internal C structure, which acted as active sites and facilitated substrate adsorption. Subsequent treatment with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) introduced numerous carboxyl groups onto the C structure, increasing the catalytic environment as acid auxiliaries. The carboxyl group is present in the carbon structure, as determined calculations based on by density functional theory, reduces the adsorption energy of acetylene, thereby promoting its adsorption and enrichment. Furthermore, H2O2-treatment enhanced the oxygen defects in the carbon structure, improving the dispersion of Pd NPs and defect structure. The Pd/NxC@mSiO2-H2O2 catalysts demonstrated outstanding performance in the acetylene dialkoxycarbonylation reaction, showcasing high selectivity towards 1,4-dicarboxylate (>93 %) and remarkable acetylene conversion (>92 %). Notably, the catalyst exhibited exceptional selectivity and durability throughout the reaction.

Abstract
One of the major issues of modern society is water contamination with different organic, inorganic, and contaminants bacteria. Finding cost-effective and efficient materials and methods for water treatment and environment remediation is among the scientists' most important considerations. Hollow-structured nanomaterials, including hollow fiber membranes, hollow spheres, hollow nanoboxes, etc., have shown an exciting capability for wastewater refinement approaches, including membrane technology, adsorption, and photocatalytic procedure due to their extremely high specific surface area, high porosity, unique morphology, and low density. Diverse hollow nanostructures could potentially eliminate organic contaminants, including dyes, antibiotics, oil/water emulsions, pesticides, and other phenolic compounds, inorganic pollutants, such as heavy metal ions, salts, phosphate, bromate, and other ions, and bacteria contaminations. Here, a comprehensive overview of hollow nanostructures' fabrication and modification, water contaminant classification, and recent studies in the water treatment field using hollow-structured nanomaterials with a comparative attitude have been provided, indicating the privilege abd detriments of this class of nanomaterials. Eventually, the future outlook of employing hollow nanomaterials in water refinery systems and the upcoming challenges arising in scaling up are also propounded.

Abstract
The shape of Au nanoparticles (NPs) plays a crucial role for applications in, amongst others, catalysis, electronic devices, biomedicine, and sensing. Typically, the deformation of the morphology of Au NPs is the most significant cause of loss of functionality. Here, we systematically investigate the thermal stability of Au nanotriangles (NTs) coated with (mesoporous) silica shells with different morphologies (core-shell (CS): Au NT@mSiO2/yolk-shell (YS): Au NT@mSiO2) and compare these to 'bare' nanoparticles (Au NTs), by a combination of in situ and/or ex situ TEM techniques and spectroscopy methods. Au NTs with a mesoporous silica (mSiO2) coating were found to show much higher thermal stability than those without a mSiO2 coating, as the mSiO2 shell restricts the (self-)diffusion of surface atoms. For the Au NT@mSiO2 CS and YS NPs, a thicker mSiO2 shell provides better protection than uncoated Au NTs. Surprisingly, the Au NT@mSiO2 YS NPs were found to be as stable as Au NT@mSiO2 CS NPs with a core-shell morphology. We hypothesize that the only explanation for this unexpected finding was the thicker and higher density SiO2 shell of YS NPs that prevents diffusion of Au surface atoms to more thermodynamically favorable positions.

Abstract
Living organisms in nature, such as magnetotactic bacteria and eggs, generate various organic-inorganic hybrid materials, providing unique functionalities. Inspired by such natural hybrid materials, researchers can reasonably integrate biomaterials with living organisms either internally or externally to enhance their inherent capabilities and generate new functionalities. Currently, the approaches to enhancing organismal function through biomaterial intervention have undergone rapid development, progressing from the cellular level to the subcellular or multicellular level. In this review, we will concentrate on three key strategies related to biomaterial-guided bioenhancement, including biointerface engineering, artificial organelles, and 3D multicellular immune niches. For biointerface engineering, excess of amino acid residues on the surfaces of cells or viruses enables the assembly of materials to form versatile artificial shells, facilitating vaccine engineering and biological camouflage. Artificial organelles refer to artificial subcellular reactors made of biomaterials that persist in the cytoplasm, which imparts cells with on-demand regulatory ability. Moreover, macroscale biomaterials with spatiotemporal regulation characters enable the local recruitment and aggregation of cells, denoting multicellular niche to enhance crosstalk between cells and antigens. Collectively, harnessing the programmable chemical and biological attributes of biomaterials for organismal function enhancement shows significant potential in forthcoming biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticle sintering has long been a major challenge in developing catalytic systems for use at elevated temperatures. Here we report an in situ electron microscopy study of the extraordinary sinter resistance of a catalytic system comprised of sub-2 nm Pt nanoparticles on a Se-decorated carbon support. When heated to 700 °C, the average size of the Pt nanoparticles only increased from 1.6 to 2.2 nm, while the crystal structure, together with the {111} and {100} facets, of the Pt nanoparticles was well retained. Our electron microscopy analyses suggested that the superior resistance against sintering originated from the Pt-Se interaction. Confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray elemental mapping and electron energy loss spectra, the Se atoms surrounding the Pt nanoparticles could survive the heating. This work not only offers an understanding of the physics behind the thermal behavior of this catalytic material but also sheds light on the future development of sinter-resistant catalytic systems.

Abstract
This work shows that hollow Ru/RuO2 nanoparticles having nanoparticulate shells (HN-Ru/RuO2) can be prepared using hollow microporous organic polymers with Ru species (H-MOP-Ru) as precursors. Using silica spheres as templates, H-MOPs were prepared through the Sonogashira-Hagihara coupling of 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene with 2,3-ethoxymethylenedioxy-1,4-diiodobenzene. Acid hydrolysis of cyclic ethyl orthoformate protecting groups generated catechol moieties to form H-MOP-Cat. Then, H-MOP-Ru was obtained by incorporating Ru species into H-MOP-Cat. Heat-treatment of H-MOP-Ru under air induced the formation of HN-Ru/RuO2 with a diameter of 61 nm and shells consisting of 6-7 nm nanoparticles. Due to the hollow structure and nanoparticulate shells, HN-Ru/RuO2 showed a high surface area of 80 m2 g-1 and a pore volume of 0.18 cm3 g-1. The HN-Ru/RuO2 showed enhanced electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with an overpotential of 295 mV @ 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 46 mV dec-1 in alkaline electrolyte, compared with control RuO2 such as commercial Ru/RuO2 nanoparticles (A-Ru/RuO2) and home-made Ru/RuO2 nanoparticles (N-Ru/RuO2) prepared via the same synthetic procedure as HN-Ru/RuO2. While HN-Ru/RuO2 inevitably contained Pd originated from coupling catalysts, it showed superior performance to Ru/RuO2 nanoparticles with the same Pd content (N1-Ru/RuO2), indicating that the efficient electrocatalytic performance of HN-Ru/RuO2 is attributable to its hollow structure and nanoparticulate shells.

Abstract
Tuning the surface chemical property and the local environment of nanocrystals is crucial for realizing a high catalytic performance in various reactions. Herein, we aim to elucidate the structure sensitivity of Pd facets on the surface catalytic hydrogenation reaction and to identify what role the nanoconfinement effect plays in the catalytic properties of Pd nanocrystal catalysts. By controlling the coating structures of mesoporous silica (mSiO2) on Pd nanocrystals with different exposed facets that include {100}, {111}, and {hk0}, we present a series of Pd@mSiO2 nanoreactors in core-shell and yolk-shell structures and the discovery of a partial-coated structure, which can provide different types of nanoconfinement, and we propose a seed size-dominated growth mechanism. We demonstrate that a superior activity was exhibited in Pd nanocrystals enclosed by the {hk0} facet as compared to the Pd{100} and Pd{111} facets, and substantially enhanced efficiency and stability were achieved in Pd@mSiO2 particles with yolk-shell structures, indicating a crucial superiority of optimizing the configuration of crystal facets and nanoconfinement. Our study provides an efficient strategy to rationally design and optimize nanocatalysts for promoting catalytic performance.

Abstract
Inspired by natural catalytic compartments, various synthetic compartments that seclude catalytic reactions have been developed to understand complex multistep biosynthetic pathways, bestow therapeutic effects, or extend biosynthetic pathways in living cells. These emerging nanoreactors possessed many advantages over conventional biomedicine, such as good catalytic activity, specificity, and sustainability. In the past decade, a great number of efficient catalytic systems based on diverse nanoreactors (polymer vesicles, liposome, polymer micelles, inorganic-organic hybrid materials, MOFs, etc.) have been designed and employed to initiate in situ catalyzed chemical reactions for therapy. This review aims to present the recent progress in the development of catalytic systems based on nanoreactors for therapeutic applications, with a special emphasis on the principles and design strategies. Besides, the key components of nanoreactor-based catalytic systems, including nanocarriers, triggers or energy inputs, and products, are respectively introduced and discussed in detail. Challenges and prospects in the fabrication of therapeutic catalytic nanoreactors are also discussed as a conclusion to this review. We believe that catalytic nanoreactors will play an increasingly important role in modern biomedicine, with improved therapeutic performance and minimal side effects.

Abstract
The rational design of photocatalysts with efficiency and stability is highly desirable but remains challenging. Here, we report a supramolecular self-assembly strategy to construct hollow phosphorus-doped g-C3N4 microboxes (PCNMs). Considering the effects of multiple parameters on the structure and activity of samples, the orthogonal design is innovatively introduced to optimize technology parameters for screening high-performance g-C3N4. Under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm), rhodamine B (RhB, 4 mg L-1) is completely degraded in just 80 seconds in the presence of the optimal PCNM. The kinetic rate constant of RhB degradation with the PCNM is 3.4633 min-1, demonstrating unprecedented activity that is about 112 times higher than that of bulk g-C3N4 (0.0309 min-1) synthesized by direct polycondensation of melamine. Additionally, the optimal PCNM also shows enhanced degradation efficiency for tetracycline. The outstanding properties are primarily attributed to the hollow architecture, high specific surface area, and phosphorus doping. This work advances the design of photocatalysts correlating various factors, opening an avenue for optimizing photocatalytic synthesis and activity.

Abstract
Hollow bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) formed from metal oxide NP templates are widely used catalysts for hydrogen evolution and CO2 reduction reactions. Despite their importance in catalysis, the details of how these NPs form on the NP templates remain unclear. Here, using in situ liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging, we describe the conversion of Cu2O template NPs to hollow PdCu NPs. Our observations show that a polycrystalline PdCu shell forms on the surface of the template via a galvanic replacement reaction while the template undergoes anisotropic etching. This study provides important insights into the synthesis of hollow metallic nanostructures from metal oxide templates.

Abstract
Inorganic microcapsules (IMs) have gained significant attention as versatile platforms for delivering functional agents in various fields. Traditional template-dependent methods employing hard templates often involve complex and harsh template removal processes. Achieving IMs with diverse composition and structure remains challenging with current preparation strategies. Therefore, in this work, we have for the first time demonstrated an extremely facile and efficient liquid-marbles-based template approach for fabricating pure inorganic microcapsules via interfacial reaction in a mild aqueous solution. The water-water reaction interface is created by changing the wettability of the liquid marble (LM) surface through the icing-melting process. The composition and function of the inorganic shell could be easily adjusted by varying the inorganic reagent species of the interfacial reaction, the hydrophobic particle of the shell, and the reaction environment according to the specific requirements of the application field. Such an approach provides a flexible platform for material preparation.

Abstract
In confined mesoscopic spaces, the unraveling of a catalytic mechanism with complex mass transfer and adsorption processes such as reactant enrichment is a great challenge. In this study, a hollow nanoarchitecture of MnOx-encapsulated Pt nanoparticles was designed as a nanoreactor to investigate the reactant enrichment in a mesoscopic hollow void. By employing advanced characterization techniques, we found that the reactant-enrichment behavior is derived from directional diffusion of the reactant driven through the local concentration gradient and this increased the amount of reactant. Combining experimental results with density functional theory calculations, the superior cinnamyl alcohol (COL) selectivity originates from the selective adsorption of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) and the rapid formation and desorption of COL in the MnOx shell. The superb performance of 95% CAL conversion and 95% COL selectivity is obtained at only 0.5 MPa H2 and 40 min. Our findings showcase that a rationally designed nanoreactor could boost catalytic performance in chemoselective hydrogenation, which can be of great aid and potential in various application scenarios.

Abstract
Sensitive detection of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in human serum is beneficial for finding cancer patients early due to overexpressed TNF-α being related to some cancers. Here, a photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor was constructed for ultrasensitive TNF-α assay based on the signal generator of hollow CdS cubes (H-CdS) and the signal extinguishing activity of NiCo2O4-Au. In this work, compared with traditional solid CdS, H-CdS could greatly promote the PEC signal because its hollow structure could accelerate the separation of photogenerated charges, which also possesses abundant active sites and high light absorption capability. Moreover, H-CdS can be prepared facilely with Cd-based Prussian blue analogs as the precursor. Meanwhile, NiCo2O4-Au was fabricated and utilized as a signal extinguisher. In the presence of TNF-α, NiCo2O4-Au could be introduced onto the H-CdS modified electrode, producing competitive consumption of the electron donor effect, the p-n semiconductor quenching effect, and the mimetic enzymatic catalytic precipitation effect, which all can significantly reduce the PEC signal. Based on the signal extinguishing activity of NiCo2O4-Au and the signal generator of H-CdS, TNF-α can be detected sensitively with a lower detection limit (0.63 fg mL-1) and a wide linear range (1 fg mL-1- to 1 ng mL-1), which may have a potential application in the PEC bioanalysis field and the disease diagnostics field.

Abstract
Hollow Ag-Pd nanoparticles have potentially high catalytic performance owing to their larger surface area compared to their corresponding solid nanoparticles. We successfully fabricated hollow Ag-Pd alloy nanodendrites and nanoboxes by using different Pd precursors (H2PdCl4 and Pd(acac)2) to achieve large surface area nanoboxes. Interestingly, the use of a H2PdCl4 precursor led to the formation of hollow nanodendrite structures, whereas the slower reduction of Pd(acac)2 led to the formation of hollow nanoboxes. The microstructure and chemical composition of Ag-Pd nanoparticles and properties of their growth solutions were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy.

Abstract
The rational design of an oxygen electrocatalyst with low cost and high activity is greatly desired for realization of the practical water-splitting industry. Herein, we put forward a rational method to construct nonprecious-metal catalysts with high activity by designing the microstructure and modulating the electronic state. Iron (Fe)-doped Ni2P hollow polyhedrons decorated with nitrogen-doped carbon (Fe-Ni2P/NC HPs) are prepared by a sequential metal-organic-framework-templated strategy. Benefiting from the strong electronic coupling, rapid charge-transfer capability, and abundant catalytic active sites, the obtained Fe-Ni2P/NC HPs exhibit an impressive electrocatalytic performance toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with an ultralow overpotential of 228 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a small Tafel slope of 33.4 mV dec-1, superior to the commercial RuO2 and most reported electrocatalysts. Notably, this catalyst also shows long durability with an almost negligible activity decay over 210 h for the OER. Combining density functional theory calculations with experiments demonstrates that the doped Fe and the incorporated carbon effectively modulate the electronic structure, enhance the conductivity, and greatly reduce the energy barrier of the rate-determining step in the process of OER. Thus, fast OER kinetics is realized. Moreover, this synthetic strategy can be extended to the synthesis of Fe-NiS2/NC HPs and Fe-NiSe2/NC HPs with excellent OER performance and long-term durability. This work furnishes an instructive idea in pursuit of nonprecious-metal materials with robust electrocatalytic activity and long durability.

Abstract
Pyrroles are widely spread worldwide because of their critical applications, especially pharmacology. An expedition method for one-pot synthesis of N-substituted pyrrole derivatives has been presented by a reaction between 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran and various primary aromatic amines in the presence of NiFe2O4 anchored to modified carbon hollow microspheres (NiFe2O4@MCHMs) as a recoverable reactive catalyst. The Classon-Kass method has been used to synthesize the pyrroles in excellent yields and short reaction times in the same direction with green chemistry rules. This reaction was carried out by employing NiFe2O4@MCHMs as a catalyst to make a simple procedure with short activation energy in water as an accessible, non-toxic, and biodegradable solvent. This catalyst provides a promising pathway to synthesize N-substituted pyrroles several times in a row through the recyclability without remarkable loss of its catalytic activity. The NiFe2O4@MCHMs nanocatalyst was characterized by applying FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, EDS, BET, TGA, VSM, and elemental mapping techniques. Also, the synthesized N-substituted pyrrole derivatives were identified using melting point, FT-IR, and 1H NMR analyses.

Abstract
Nanomaterials with "yolk and shell" "structure" can be considered as "nanoreactors" that have significant potential for application in catalysis. Especially in terms of electrochemical energy storage and conversion, the nanoelectrode has a large specific surface area with a unique yolk@shell structure, which can reduce the volume change of the electrode during the charging and discharging process and fast ion/electron transfer channels. The adsorption of products and the improvement of conversion reaction efficiency can greatly improve the stability, speed and cycle performance of the electrode, and it is a kind of ideal electrode material. In this research, heterojunction nanoreactors (FZT Y@WDS) Fe3O4@ZrO2-X@TiO2-X were firstly synthesized based on the solvothermal combined hard-template process, partial etching and calcination. The response surface method was used to determine the performance of the FZT Y@WDS heterojunction nanoreactors and the effects of four process factors: naproxen concentration (NAP), solution pH, the amount of charged photocatalyst, and the irradiation time for photocatalytic degradation of NAP under visible light irradiation. To maximize the photocatalytic activity, the parameters of the loaded catalyst, the pH of the reaction medium, the initial concentration of NAP, and the irradiation time were set to 0.5 g/L, 3, 10 mg/L, and 60 min, respectively, resulting in complete removal of NAP and the optimum amount was calculated to be 0.5 g/L, 5.246, 14.092 mg/L, and 57.362 min, respectively. Considering the promising photocatalytic activity of FZT Y@WDS under visible light and the separation performance of the nanocomposite, we proposed this photocatalyst as an alternative solution for the treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater.

Abstract
There is an urgent need to develop effective and sustainable solutions to reduce water pollution. Heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts are frequently used to eliminate contaminants from water. However, the applicability of these catalysts is limited due to low availability of the reactive species (RS). Herein, nanoconfinement strategy was applied to encapsulate short-lived RS at nanoscale to boost the utilization efficiency of the RS in Fenton-like reactions. The nanoconfined catalyst was fabricated by assembling Co3O4 nanoparticles in carbon nanotube nanochannels to achieve exceptional reaction rate and excellent selectivity. Experiments collectively suggested that the degradation of contaminants was attributed to singlet oxygen (1O2). Density functional theory calculations demonstrated the nanoconfined space contributes to quantum mutation and alters the transition state to lower activation energy barriers. Simulation results revealed that the enrichment of contaminant on the catalyst reduced the migration distance and enhanced the utilization of 1O2. The synergy between the shell layer and core-shell structure further improved the selectivity of 1O2 towards contaminant oxidation in real waters. The nanoconfined catalyst is expected to provide a viable strategy for water pollution control.

Abstract
A simple template strategy was applied to prepare a Fe, N co-doped hollow carbon (Fe-NHC) nanoreactor for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) by coating Fe nanoparticles (Fe-NPs) with polydopamine (PDA), followed by high temperature pyrolysis and acid-leaching. With this method, Fe-NPs were used as both the template and the metal precursor, so that the nanoreactors can preserve the original spherical morphology and embed Fe single atoms on the inner walls. The carbonized PDA contained abundant N content, offering an ideal coordination environment for Fe atoms. By regulating the mass ratio of Fe-NPs and PDA, an optimal sample with a carbon layer thickness of 12 nm (Fe-NHC-3) was obtained. The hollow spherical structure of the nanoreactors and the atomically dispersed Fe were verified by various physical characterizations. As a result, Fe-NHC-3 performed well in ORR tests under alkaline conditions, with high catalytic activity, durability, and methanol resistance, demonstrating that the as-fabricated materials have the potential to be applied in the cathodic catalysis of fuel cells.

Abstract
The design of water-stable photo and electrocatalysts of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for its promising catalytic applications at long-term irradiations or persisted current loads is extremely necessary but still remains as challenging. A limited number of reports on Ti-MOF-based catalysts for water splitting are only available to explain and understand the correlation between the nature of materials and MOFs array. Herein, spherical Ti-MOFs and corresponding partially annealed hollow core-shell Ti-MOFs (Ti-MOF/D) are designed and the correlation with their photo(electro)catalytic water splitting performance is evaluated. The switchable valence state of Ti for the Ti-MOF as a function of molecular bonding is the possible reason behind the observed photocatalytic hydrogen generation and light-harvesting ability of the system. Besides, the defect state, solid core-shell mesoporous structure, and active sites of Ti-MOF help to trap the charge carriers and the reduction of the recombination process. This phenomenon is absent for hollow core-shells Ti-MOF/D spheres due to the rigid TiO2 outer surface although there is a contradiction in surface area with Ti-MOF. Considering the diversity of Ti-MOF and Ti-MOF/D, further novel research can be designed using this way to manipulate their properties as per the requirements.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Recently, it has become possible to synthesize hollow polyelectrolyte nano- and microgels. The shell permeability can be controlled by external stimuli, while the cavity can serve as a storage place for guest molecules. However, there is a lack of a detailed understanding at the molecular level regarding the role of the network topology, inhomogeneities of the distribution of cross-links, and the impact of the electrostatics on the structural response of hollow microgel to external stimuli. To bridge these gaps, molecular dynamics (MD) of computer simulations are used. EXPERIMENTS Here, we propose a fresh methodology to create realistic hollow microgel particles in silico. The technique involves a gradual change in the average local length of subchains depending on the distance to the center of mass of the microgel particles resulting in the microgels with a non-uniform distribution of cross-linking species. In particular, a series of microgels with (i) a highly cross-linked inner part of the shell and gradually decreased cross-linker concentration towards the periphery, (ii) microgels with loosely cross-linked inner and outer parts, as well as (iii) microgels with a more-or-less homogeneous structure, have been created and validated. Counterions and salt ions are taken into account explicitly, and electrostatic interactions are described by the Coulomb potential. FINDINGS Our studies reveal a strong dependence of the microgel swelling response on the network topology. Simple redistribution of cross-links plays a significant role in the structure of the microgels, including cavity size, microgel size, fuzziness, and extension of the inner and outer parts of the microgels. Our results indicate the possibilities of qualitative justification of the structure of the hollow microgels in the experiments by measuring the relative change in the size of the sacrificial core to the size of the cavity and by estimation of a power law function, [Formula: see text] , of the hydrodynamic radius of the hollow microgels as a function of added salt concentration.

Abstract
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) pollutants can cause a series of environmental issues, such as acid rain, ground-level ozone pollution, photochemical smog and global warming. Photocatalysis is supposed to be a promising technology to solve NOx pollution. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as a metal-free photocatalyst has attracted much attention since 2009. However, the pristine g-C3N4 suffers from poor response to visible light, rapid charge carrier recombination, small specific surface areas and few active sites, which results in deficient solar light efficiency and unsatisfactory photocatalytic performance. In this review, we summarize and highlight the recent advances in g-C3N4-based photocatalysts for photocatalytic NOx removal. Firstly, we attempt to elucidate the mechanism of the photocatalytic NOx removal process and introduce the metal-free g-C3N4 photocatalyst. Then, different kinds of modification strategies to enhance the photocatalytic NOx removal performance of g-C3N4-based photocatalysts are summarized and discussed in detail. Finally, we propose the significant challenges and future research topics on g-C3N4-based photocatalysts for photocatalytic NOx removal, which should be further investigated and resolved in this interesting research field.

Abstract
The use of metal-based heterogeneous catalysts for the degradation of N-containing organic dyes has attracted much attention due to their excellent treatment efficiency and capability. Here, we report the synthesis of heterometals (Ni and Pd)-incorporated Fe3O4 (Ni-Pd/Fe3O4) yolk-shelled nanospheres for the catalytic reduction of N-containing organic dyes using a facile combination of solvothermal treatment and high-temperature annealing steps. Benefiting from the magnetic properties and the yolk-shelled structure of the Fe3O4 support, as well as the uniformly dispersed active heterometals incorporated in the shell and yolk of spherical Fe3O4 nanoparticles, the as-prepared Ni-Pd/Fe3O4 composite shows excellent recyclability and enhanced catalytic activity for three N-containing organic dyes (e.g., 4-nitrophenol, Congo red, and methyl orange) compared with its mono metal counterparts (e.g., Ni/Fe3O4 and Pd/Fe3O4). In the 4-nitrophenol reduction reaction, the catalytic activity of Ni-Pd/Fe3O4 was superior to many Fe3O4-supported nanocatalysts reported within the last five years. This work provides an effective strategy to boost the activity of iron oxide-based catalytic materials via dual or even multiple heterometallic incorporation strategy and sheds new light on environmental catalysis.

Abstract
CoSx materials with high catalytic activity are considered as promising HER electrocatalysts, but their inherent low electrical conductivity and easy loss of active sites have greatly limited their applications in OER electrocatalysis. Herein, we present a convenient method to synthesize Co-Cu hollow nanoprisms after wrapping and calcining with trithiocyanuric acid (C3H3N3S3) (denoted N-Co-Cu-S-x HNs). The results showed that Cu doping modified the charge density of Co center, leading to the enhancement of the intrinsic activity of the Co3S4 active center, meanwhile wrapping trithiocyanuric acid on the surfaces and calcinating to form N-containing C skeleton as a flexible substrate to encapsulate the catalysts, which effectively protected the active sites inside the catalysts. Notably, the OER catalyst that was optimized by adjusting the metal ratio and controlling the trithiocyanuric acid incorporation exhibited a low overpotential of 306 mV under a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and showed a superior durability of more than 27 h. This work may provide some insights into the preparation of oxygen evolution reaction catalysts with excellent performance through doping transition metals and protecting the internal active sites strategies.

Abstract
Hydrogen produced by electrolyzing water has attracted extensive attention as an effective way to generate and store new energy by using renewable energy. Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) were the core reactions in the process of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, however, due to the low efficiency of the electrolytic device caused by its slow kinetic reaction and the dependence on noble metal catalysts (platinum and iridium/ruthenium (oxide)), which limited its wide application. The preparation of high-efficiency catalysts with high catalytic activity, stability, low cost and scalability played a vital role in promoting the development of hydrogen production technology from electrolytic water and has become a current research hotspot. Metal alloy catalysts have been widely studied as high-efficiency electrocatalysts. This study introduced and analyzed the mechanism and application of metal alloy catalyst in hydrogen and oxygen evolution reaction, summarized and discussed the progress in the design, preparation and application of metal alloy electrocatalysts. Finally, the strategy and prospect of new high-efficiency electrocatalysts were proposed.

Abstract
In this work, Ag(NH3)2NO3 microcubes are obtained by directly evaporating the silver ammonia complex solution. In Na3Cit solution, each Ag(NH3)2NO3 microcube can crumble into lots of Ag3Cit sub-microcubes with uniform size, which serve as sacrificial templates to yield Ag sub-microcages. The as-obtained Ag cages possess ultra-high surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensitivity towards R6G and thiram.

Abstract
The exploration of electrocatalysts with high catalytic activity and long-term stability for electrochemical energy conversion is significant yet remains challenging. Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-derived superstructures are a source of atomic-site-containing electrocatalysts. These atomic sites anchor the guest encapsulation and self-assembly of aspheric polyhedral particles produced using microreactor fabrication. This review provides an overview of ZIF-derived superstructures by highlighting some of the key structural types, such as open carbon cages, 1D superstructures, hollow structures, and the interconversion of superstructures. The fundamentals and representative structures are outlined to demonstrate the role of superstructures in the construction of materials with atomic sites, such as single- and dual-atom materials. Then, the roles of ZIF-derived single-atom sites for the electroreduction of CO2 and electrochemical synthesis of H2 O2 are discussed, and their electrochemical performance for energy conversion is outlined. Finally, the perspective on advancing single- and dual-atom electrode-based electrochemical processes with enhanced redox activity and a low-impedance charge-transfer pathway for cathodes is provided. The challenges associated with ZIF-derived superstructures for electrochemical energy conversion are discussed.

Abstract
Single crystalline (SC) hollow metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are excellent host materials for molecular and nanoparticle catalysts. However, due to synthetic challenges, chemically robust SC hollow MOFs are rare. This work reports the construction of a defect-free and chemically stable SC hollow MOF, MOF-801(h), through templated growth from a unit cell mismatched core, UiO-66. Under the protection of excess MOF-801 ligand, fumaric acid, the MOF-801 shell was perfectly retained while the isoreticular UiO-66 core was selectively and completely etched away by formic acid. The combination of a large cavity, small aperture and short diffusion length allows the Pt nanoparticle encapsulated composite catalyst, Pt⊂MOF-801(h), to perform size selective hydrogenation of nitro compounds at an accelerated speed. Impressively, the catalyst can undergo concentrated HCl or boiling water treatment while maintaining its crystallinity, morphology, catalytic activity, and size selectivity. In addition, Au nanoparticles encapsulated catalyst, Au⊂MOF-801(h), was used for the size selective nucleophilic addition of HCl to terminal alkynes for the first time, which is a harsh reaction involving high concentrations of a strong acid.

Abstract
A reliable, scalable, and inexpensive technology for the fabrication of ordered arrays of metal nanoparticles with large areal coverage on various substrates is presented. The nanoparticle arrays were formed on aluminum substrates using a two-step anodization process. By varying the anodization potential, the pore diameter, inter-pore spacing, and pore ordering in the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template were tuned. Following a chemical etch, the height of the pores in the AAO membrane were reduced to create a dimpled membrane surface. Periodic arrays of metal nanoparticles were subsequently created by evaporating metal on to the dimpled surface, allowing for individual nanoparticles to form within the dimples by a solid state de-wetting process induced by annealing. The ordered nanoparticle array could then be transferred to a substrate of choice using a polymer lift-off method. Following optimization of the experimental parameters, it was possible to obtain cm2 coverage of metal nanoparticles, like gold and indium, on silicon, quartz and sapphire substrates, with average sizes in the range of 50-90 nm. The de-wetting process was investigated for a specific geometry of the dimpled surface and the results explained for two different film thicknesses. Using a simple model, the experimental results were interpreted and supported by numerical estimations.

Abstract
Confined catalysis between a two-dimensional (2D) cover and metal surfaces has provided a unique environment with enhanced activity compared to uncovered metal surfaces. Within this 2D confinement, weakened adsorption and lowered activation energies were observed using surface science experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Computationally, the role of electronic and mechanical factors responsible for the improved activity was deduced only from static DFT calculations. This demands a detailed investigation on the dynamics of reactions under 2D confinement, including temperature effects. In this work, we study CO oxidation on a 2D graphene covered Pt(111) surface at 90 and 593 K using DFT-based ab initio molecular dynamics simulations starting from the transition state configuration. We show that CO oxidation in the presence of a graphene cover is substantially enhanced (2.3 times) at 90 K. Our findings suggest that 2D confined spaces can be used to enhance the activity of chemical reactions, especially at low temperatures.

Abstract
Microarchitectures with complex interior structures are important for many applications. However, engineering complex interior structures within microarchitectures are challenging. This article reports the introduction of electrochemical sculpting processes to carve the microarchitectures during or after their electrochemical growing process to design the interior structure of the microarchitectures. The electrochemical growing and sculpting process tangle together under the constant voltage electrodeposition mode with their strength depending on the ion concentration gradient and the voltage value. The unique thawing process of the frozen electrolyte is used to create the desired sharp ion concentration gradient, and has the potential to control the strength of the sculpting and the growing processes. How to completely decouple the growing and the sculpting process is further studied to gain more accurate control over the interior structures of the microarchitectures. It is revealed that the sculpting process can be exclusively applied onto the electrochemically grown microarchitectures simply by reversing the electric field without triggering any growing processes. Microarchitectures with complex interior structures, including micropyramids with a single cavity exclusively at the outward or every apex to multi-walled hollow pyramids with designable wall numbers and inter-wall distances are prepared as examples.
