Abstract
Although interaction between organisms and nonorganisms is vital in environmental processes, it is difficult to characterize at nanoscale resolution. Biosynthesis incorporates intracellular and extracellular processes involving crucial interfacial functions and electron and substance transfer processes, especially on the inorganic-organic interface. This work chooses the biosynthesis of iron-based nanoparticles (nFe) as a model for biomaterial interaction and employs Cryo-AEM (i.e., S/TEM, EELS, and EDS analysis based on sample preparation with cryo-transfer holder system), combined with CV, Raman, XPS, and FTIR to reveal the inorganic-organic interface process. The inorganic-organic interactions in the biosynthesis of iron-based nanoparticles by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (M-nFe) were characterized by changes in electron cloud density, and the corresponding chemical shifts of Fe and C EELS edges confirm that M-nFe acquires electrons from MR-1 on the interface. Capturing intact filamentous-like, slightly curved, and bundled structure provides solid evidence of a "circuit channel" for electron transfer between organic and inorganic interface. CV results also confirm that adding M-nFe can enhance electron transfer from MR-1 to ferric ions. A mechanism for the synthesis of M-nFe with MR-1 based on intracellular and extracellular conditions under facultative anaerobic was visualized, providing a protocol for investigating the organic-inorganic interface.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) widely participate in a variety of chemical reactions in biological and chemical applications. However, due to the extremely short lifetime of most ROS, conventional ROS-detecting techniques cannot show real-time dynamic changes of ROS-driven chemical reactions and identify the actual role of individual reactive species in these reactions. Herein, using in situ liquid cell TEM complemented by ex situ experiments, we directly visualize ROS-driven rapid etching of Prussian bule (PB) in real time and identify the dominant reactive species in etching processes. The results reveal that highly oxidative •OH is the dominant reactive radical in ROS-driven rapid chemical etching and hollow mesoporous PB nanoparticles can be synthesized on a minute-level time scale via •OH-dominated rapid etching. This work provides insight into ROS-related oxidation, which can continuously improve our understanding of ROS chemistry and make ROS more widely applicable in advanced chemical etching.

Abstract
Tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 (Trop2) highly specific expression in gastric carcinoma (GC). The combination of Trop2 antibody and phototherapy agents could exhibit synergetic antitumor activity. Black phosphorus nanosheets (BP) are covalently modified with Trop2 IgG antibodies via heterobifunctional linker of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Then the Trop2 antibody was directionally conjugated to BP via Schiff base reaction between aldehyde group from oxidized Trop2 antibody and amino group of PEG. The Trop2-funcationalzied BP can significantly increase the endocytosis of BP in Trop2-positive GC cells exhibiting a reinforced antitumor activity under near infrared (NIR) irradiation. More importantly, a murine orthotopic GC model demonstrates that Trop2 antibody modification can significantly promote the accumulation of BP at tumor tissues and strengthen antitumoral activity of phototherapy. Directional conjugation of Trop2 antibody to BP facilitates the BP with superior stability, tumor targeting ability and excellent anti-tumor activity under NIR irradiation without systemic toxicity.

Abstract
Visualizing the structure and processes in liquids at the nanoscale is essential for understanding the fundamental mechanisms and underlying processes of environmental research. Cutting-edge progress of in situ liquid-phase (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (LP-S/TEM) and inferred possible applications are highlighted as a more and more indispensable tool for visualization of dynamic environmental processes in this Perspective. Advancements in nanofabrication technology, high-speed imaging, comprehensive detectors, and spectroscopy analysis have made it increasingly convenient to use LP S/TEM, thus providing an approach for visualization of direct and insightful scientific information with the exciting possibility of solving an increasing number of tricky environmental problems. This includes evaluating the transformation fate and path of contamination, assessing toxicology of nanomaterials, simulating solid surface corrosion processes in the environment, and observing water pollution control processes. Distinct nanoscale or even atomic understanding of the reaction would provide dependable and precise identification and quantification of contaminants in dynamic processes, thus facilitating trouble-tracing of environmental problems with amplifying complexity.
