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
The evolutionary complexity of compartmentalized biostructures (such as cells and organelles) endows life-sustaining multistep chemical cascades and intricate living functionalities. Relatively, within a very short time span, a synthetic paradigm has resulted in tremendous growth in controlling the materials at different length scales (molecular, nano, micro, and macro), improving mechanistic understanding and setting the design principals toward different compositions, configurations, and structures, and in turn fine-tuning their optoelectronic and catalytic properties for targeted applications. Bioorthogonal catalysis offers a highly versatile toolkit for biochemical modulation and the capability to perform new-to-nature reactions inside living systems, endowing augmented functions. However, conventional catalysts have limitations to control the reactions under physiological conditions due to the hostile bioenvironment. The present account details the development of bioapplicable multicomponent designer nanoreactors (NRs), where the compositions, morphologies, interfacial active sites, and microenvironments around different metal nanocatalysts can be precisely controlled by novel nanospace-confined chemistries. Different architectures of porous, hollow, and open-mouth silica-based nano-housings facilitate the accommodation, protection, and selective access of different nanoscale metal-based catalytic sites. The modular porosity/composition, optical transparency, thermal insulation, and nontoxicity of silica are highly useful. Moreover, large macropores or cavities can also be occupied by enzymes (for chemoenzymatic cascades) and selectivity enhancers (for stimuli-responsive gating) along with the metal nanocatalysts. Further, it is crucial to selectively activate and control catalytic reactions by a remotely operable biocompatible energy source. Integration of highly coupled plasmonic (Au) components having few-nanometer structural features (gaps, cavities, and junctions as electromagnetic hot-spots) endows an opportunity to efficiently harness low-power NIR light and selectively supply energy to the interfacial catalytic sites through localized photothermal and electronic effects. Different plasmonically integrated NRs with customizable plasmonic-catalytic components, cavities inside bilayer nanospaces, and metal-laminated nanocrystals inside hollow silica can perform NIR-/light-induced catalytic reactions in complex media including living cells. In addition, magnetothermia-induced NRs by selective growth of catalytic metals on a pre-installed superparamagnetic iron-oxide core inside a hollow-porous silica shell endowed the opportunity to apply AMF as a bioorthogonal stimulus to promote catalytic reactions. By combining "plasmonic-catalytic" and "magnetic-catalytic" components within a single NR, two distinct reaction steps can be desirably controlled by two energy sources (NIR light and AMF) of distinct energy regimes. The capability to perform multistep organic molecular transformations in harmony with the natural living system will reveal novel reaction schemes for in cellulo synthesis of active drug and bioimaging probes. Well-designed nanoscale discrete architectures of NRs can facilitate spatiotemporal control over abiotic chemical synthesis without adversely affecting the cell viability. However, in-depth understanding of heterogeneous surface catalytic reactions, rate induction mechanisms, selectivity control pathways, and targeted nanobio interactions is necessary. The broad field of biomedical engineering can hugely benefit from the aid of novel nanomaterials with chemistry-based designs and the synthesis of engineered NRs performing unique bioorthogonal chemistry functions.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticle-organic interfaces are common but remain elusive for controlling reactions due to the complex interactions of randomly formed ligand-layers. This paper presents an approach for enhancing the selectivity of catalytic reactions by constructing a skin-like few-nanometre ultrathin crystalline porous covalent organic overlayer on a plasmonic nanoparticle surface. This organic overlayer features a highly ordered layout of pore openings that facilitates molecule entry without any surface poisoning effects and simultaneously endows favourable electronic effects to control molecular adsorption-desorption. Conformal organic overlayers are synthesised through the plasmonic oxidative activation and intermolecular covalent crosslinking of molecular units. We develop a light-operated multicomponent interfaced plasmonic catalytic platform comprising Pd-modified gold nanoparticles inside hollow silica to achieve the highly efficient and selective semihydrogenation of alkynes. This approach demonstrates a way to control molecular adsorption behaviours on metal surfaces, breaking the linear scaling relationship and simultaneously enhancing activity and selectivity.

Abstract
Triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) with heavy-atom-free organic triplet photosensitizers has attracted extensive attention recently, however, the successful examples with absorption in red and first near-infrared (NIR-I, 650-900 nm) region are still insufficient. Herein, we conducted a new TTA-UC system of perylene using C70-bodipy-triphenylamine triad (C70-BDP-T) as the heavy-atom-free photosensitizer. Efficient red-to-blue (663 to 450 nm) TTA-UC was achieved in this system with an anti-Stokes shift of 0.88 eV and a quantum yield up to 5.2% (out of a 50% maximum) in deaerated toluene. Notably, this is the highest quantum yield to date in similar TTA-UC systems with heavy-atom-free organic photosensitizers. Using steady-state and transient absorption spectroscopy, together with cyclic voltammogram and quantum chemical calculations, photophysical and photochemical mechanisms were elucidated. Specifically, two triplet triads, C70-3BDP*-T and 3C70*-BDP-T, were produced efficiently upon photoexcitation, with lifetimes of 2.0 ± 0.1 and 32.2 ± 0.3 μs, respectively. Electron transfer and recombination mechanisms were confirmed to play crucial roles in the formation of these triplets, instead of intersystem crossing. Our results shed light on the superiority of fullerenes in the development of heavy-atom-free photosensitizers.

Abstract
Photocatalysis stands as a very promising alternative to photovoltaics in exploiting solar energy and storing it in chemical products through a single-step process. A central obstacle to its broad implementation is its low conversion efficiency, motivating research in different fields to bring about a breakthrough in this technology. Using plasmonic materials to photosensitize traditional semiconductor photocatalysts is a popular strategy whose full potential is yet to be fully exploited. In this work, we use CdS quantum dots as a bridge system, reaping energy from Au nanostructures and delivering it to TiO2 nanoparticles serving as catalytic centers. The quantum dots can do this by becoming an intermediate step in a charge-transfer cascade initiated in the plasmonic system or by creating an electron-hole pair at an improved rate due to their interaction with the enhanced near-field created by the plasmonic nanoparticles. Our results show a significant acceleration in the reaction upon combining these elements in hybrid colloidal photocatalysts that promote the role of the near-field enhancement effect, and we show how to engineer complexes exploiting this approach. In doing so, we also explore the complex interplay between the different mechanisms involved in the photocatalytic process, highlighting the importance of the Au nanoparticles' morphology in their photosensitizing capabilities.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal transition metal catalysts (TMCs) transform therapeutically inactive molecules (pro-drugs) into active drug compounds. Inorganic nanoscaffolds protect and solubilize catalysts while offering a flexible design space for decoration with targeting elements and stimuli-responsive activity. These "drug factories" can activate pro-drugs in situ, localizing treatment to the disease site and minimizing off-target effects. Inorganic nanoscaffolds provide structurally diverse scaffolds for encapsulating TMCs. This ability to define the catalyst environment can be employed to enhance the stability and selectivity of the TMC, providing access to enzyme-like bioorthogonal processes. The use of inorganic nanomaterials as scaffolds TMCs and the use of these bioorthogonal nanozymes in vitro and in vivo applications will be discussed in this review.

Abstract
Engineering the surface structure of semiconductor is one of the most promising strategies for improving the separation and transfer efficiency of charge, which is a key issue in photocatalysis. Here, we designed and fabricated the C decorated hollow TiO2 photocatalysts (C-TiO2), in which 3-aminophenol-formaldehyde resin (APF) spheres were used as template and carbon precursor. It was determined that the C content can be easily controlled by calcinating the APF spheres with different time. Moreover, the synergetic effort between the optimal C content and the formed Ti-O-C bonds in C-TiO2 were determined to increase the light absorption and greatly promote the separation and transfer of charge in the photocatalytic reaction, which is verified from UV-vis, PL, photocurrent, and EIS characterizations. Remarkably, the activity of the C-TiO2 is 5.5-fold higher than that of TiO2 in H2 evolution. A feasible strategy for rational design and construction of surface-engineered hollow photocatalysts to improve the photocatalytic performance was provided in this study.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry has inspired a new subarea of chemistry providing a powerful tool to perform novel biocompatible chemospecific reactions in living systems. Following the premise that they do not interfere with biological functions, bioorthogonal reactions are increasingly applied in biomedical research, particularly with respect to genetic encoding systems, fluorogenic reactions for bioimaging, and cancer therapy. This Minireview compiles recent advances in the use of heterogeneous catalysts for bioorthogonal reactions. The synthetic strategies of Pd-, Au-, and Cu-based materials, their applicability in the activation of caged fluorophores and prodrugs, and the possibilities of using external stimuli to release therapeutic substances at a specific location in a diseased tissue are discussed. Finally, we highlight frontiers in the field, identifying challenges, and propose directions for future development in this emerging field.

Abstract
As a novel class of catalytic materials, hollow nanoreactors offer new opportunities for improving catalytic performance owing to their higher controllability on molecular kinetic behavior. Nevertheless, to achieve controllable catalysis with specific purposes, the catalytic mechanism occurring inside hollow nanoreactors remains to be further understood. In this context, this Review presents a focused discussion about the basic concept of hollow nanoreactors, the underlying theory for hollow nanoreactor-driven kinetics, and the intrinsic correlation between key structural parameters of hollow nanoreactors and molecular kinetic behaviors. We aim to provide in-depth insights into understanding kinetics occurred within typical hollow nanoreactors. The perspectives proposed in this paper may contribute to the development of the fundamental theoretical framework of hollow nanoreactor-driven catalysis.

Abstract
Plasmon-induced photocatalysis can drive photochemical processes with an unprecedented control of reactivity, using light as sole energy source. Nevertheless, disentangling the relative importance of thermal and non-thermal features upon plasmonic excitation remains a difficult task. In this work we intend to separate the role played by the photogenerated charge carriers from thermal mechanisms in the plasmonic photo-oxidation of a model organic substrate in aqueous solution and using a metal-semiconductor hybrid as model photocatalyst. Accordingly, we present a simple set of experimental procedures and simulations that allow us to discard the thermal dissipation upon plasmonic excitation as the main driving force behind these chemical reactions. Moreover, we also study the photogeneration of reactive oxygen species (ROS), discussing their fundamental role in photo-oxidation reactions and the information they provide regarding the reactivity of the photogenerated electrons and holes.

Abstract
In tandem catalytic systems, controlling the reaction steps and side reactions is extremely challenging. Here, we demonstrate a nanoreactor platform comprising magnetic- and plasmonic-coupled catalytic modules that synchronizes reaction steps at unconnected neighboring reaction sites via decoupled nanolocalized energy harvested using distinct antennae reactors while minimizing the interconflicting effects. As was desired, the course of the reaction and product yields can be controlled by a convenient remote operation of alternating magnetic field (AMF) and near-infrared light (NIR). Following this strategy, a tandem reaction involving [Pd]-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura C-C cross-coupling and [Pt]-catalyzed aerobic alcohol oxidation enabled an excellent yield of cinnamaldehyde (ca. 95%) by overcoming the risk of side reactions. The customization scope for using different catalytic metals (Pt, Pd, Ru, and Rh) with in situ control over product release through remotely operable benign energy sources opens avenues for designing diverse catalytic schemes for targeted applications.

Abstract
Important efforts are currently under way in order to develop further the nascent field of plasmonic photocatalysis, striving for improved efficiencies and selectivities. A significant fraction of such efforts has been focused on distinguishing, understanding, and enhancing specific energy-transfer mechanisms from plasmonic nanostructures to their environment. Herein, we report a synthetic strategy that combines two of the main physical mechanisms driving plasmonic photocatalysis into an engineered system by rationally combining the photochemical features of energetic charge carriers and the electromagnetic field enhancement inherent to the plasmonic excitation. We do so by creating hybrid photocatalysts that integrate multiple plasmonic resonators in a single entity, controlling their joint contribution through spectral separation and differential surface functionalization. This strategy allows us to create complex hybrids with improved photosensitization capabilities, thanks to the synergistic combination of two photosensitization mechanisms. Our results show that the hot electron injection can be combined with an energy-transfer process mediated by the near-field interaction, leading to a significant increase in the final photocatalytic response of the material and moving the field of plasmonic photocatalysis closer to energy-efficient applications. Furthermore, our multimodal hybrids offer a test system to probe the properties of the two targeted mechanisms in energy-related applications such as the photocatalytic generation of hydrogen and open the door to wavelength-selective photocatalysis and novel tandem reactions.

Abstract
Tear analysis has become an invaluable asset in clinical research in order to identify and quantify novel biomarkers for a wide array of conditions. The present work is intended to take this area of study one step further by implementing an innovative sensing platform through which exploration of low-molecular-weight compounds is conducted outperforming traditional analytical technologies. With this aim, carefully engineered plasmonic nanoassemblies have been synergistically combined with molecular-sieving materials giving rise to size-selective samplers with SERS detection capabilities. These architectures have been then integrated onto hydrogel-based contact lenses and tested in simulated tear fluids in order to evidence their operational features. Through this approach, a prolonged analyte accumulation can be realized, thus providing a competitive advantage in those scenarios where concentration of biomarkers is typically low or minimum sample volumes are not met. Additionally, quenching of metabolic flux and analyte extraction protocols can be circumvented, hence preventing the intrinsic physical and chemical interferences stemming from these procedures. The obtained results render these sensing platforms as promising medical devices, and constitute a great opportunity in order to expand the clinical toolkit in tear analysis.

Abstract
A new Os(II) complex dyad featuring direct singlet-to-triplet (S-T) absorption and intramolecular triplet energy transfer (ITET) with lifetime up to 7.0 μs was designed to enhance triplet energy transfer efficiency during triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC). By pairing with 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene (BPEA) as a triplet acceptor, intense upconverted green emission in deaerated solution was observed with unprecedented TTA-UC emission efficiency up to 26.3% (with a theoretical maximum efficiency of 100%) under photoexcitation in the first biological transparency window (650-900 nm). Meanwhile, a 7.1% TTA-UC emission efficiency was acquired in an air-saturated hydrogel containing the photosensitizer and a newly designed hydrophilic BPEA derivative. This ITET mechanism would inspire further development of a highly efficient TTA-UC system for biological fields and renewable energy production.

Abstract
Hybrid systems composed of living cells and nanomaterials have been attracting great interest in various fields of research ranging from materials science to biomedicine. In particular, the interfacing of noble metal nanoparticles and bacterial cells in a single architecture aims to generate hybrid systems that combine the unique physicochemical properties of the metals and biological attributes of the microbial cells. While the bacterial cells provide effector and scaffolding functions, the metallic component endows the hybrid system with multifunctional capabilities. This synergistic effort seeks to fabricate living materials with improved functions and new properties that surpass their individual components. Herein, we provide an overview of this research field and the strategies for obtaining hybrid systems, and we summarize recent biological applications, challenges and current prospects in this exciting new arena.

Abstract
We describe a microporous plasmonic nanoreactor to carry out designed near-infrared (NIR)-driven photothermal cyclizations inside living cells. As a proof of concept, we chose an intramolecular cyclization that is based on the nucleophilic attack of a pyridine onto an electrophilic carbon, a process that requires high activation energies and is typically achieved in bulk solution by heating at ∼90 °C. The core-shell nanoreactor (NR) has been designed to include a gold nanostar core, which is embedded within a metal-organic framework (MOF) based on a polymer-stabilized zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8). Once accumulated inside living cells, the MOF-based cloak of NRs allows an efficient diffusion of reactants into the plasmonic chamber, where they undergo the transformation upon near-IR illumination. The photothermal-driven reaction enables the intracellular generation of cyclic fluorescent products that can be tracked using fluorescence microscopy. The strategy may find different type of applications, such as for the spatio-temporal activation of prodrugs.

Abstract
Implementing catalytic organometallic transformations in living settings can offer unprecedented opportunities in chemical biology and medicine. Unfortunately, the number of biocompatible reactions so far discovered is very limited, and essentially restricted to uncaging processes. Here, we demonstrate the viability of performing metal carbene transfer reactions in live mammalian cells. In particular, we show that copper (II) catalysts can promote the intracellular annulation of alpha-keto diazocarbenes with ortho-amino arylamines, in a process that is initiated by an N-H carbene insertion. The potential of this transformation is underscored by the in cellulo synthesis of a product that alters mitochondrial functions, and by demonstrating cell selective biological responses using targeted copper catalysts. Considering the wide reactivity spectrum of metal carbenes, this work opens the door to significantly expanding the repertoire of life-compatible abiotic reactions.

Abstract
Despite the enormous application potential, methods for conformal few-atomic-layer deposition on colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) are scarce. Similar to the process of lamination, we introduce a "confine and shine" strategy to homogeneously modify the different surface curvatures of plasmonic NCs with ultrathin conformal layers of diverse catalytic noble metals. This self-limited epitaxial skinlike metal growth harvests the localized surface plasmon resonance to induce reduction chemistry directly on the NC surface, confined inside hollow silica. This strategy avoids any kinetic anisotropic metal deposition. Unlike the conventional thick, anisotropic, and dendritic shells, which show severe nonradiative damping, the skinlike metal lamination preserves the key plasmonic properties of the core NCs. Consequently, the plasmonic-catalytic hybrid nanoreactors can carry out a variety of organic reactions with impressive rates.

Abstract
Nanodevices, harvesting the power of synthetic catalysts and enzymes to perform enantioselective synthesis inside cell, have never been reported. Here, we synthesized round bottom jar-like silica nanostructures (SiJARs) with a chemo-responsive metal-silicate lid. This was isolated as an intermediate structure during highly controlled solid-state nanocrystal-conversion at the arc-section of silica shell. Different catalytic noble metals (Pt, Pd, Ru) were selectively modified on the lid-section through galvanic reactions. And, lid aperture-opening was regulated by mild acidic conditions or intracellular environment which accommodated the metal nanocrystals and enzymes, and in turn created an open-mouth nanoreactor. Distinct from the free enzymes, SiJARs performed asymmetric aldol reactions with high activity and enantioselectivity (yield >99 %, ee=95 %) and also functioned as the artificial catalytic organelles inside living cells. This work bridges the enormous potential of sophisticated nanocrystal-conversion chemistry and advanced platforms for new-to-nature catalysis.

Abstract
Compartmentalization is one of the main characteristics that define living systems. Creating a physically separated microenvironment allows nature a better control over biological processes, as is clearly specified by the role of organelles in living cells. Inspired by this phenomenon, researchers have developed a range of different approaches to create artificial organelles: compartments with catalytic activity that add new function to living cells. In this review we will discuss three complementary lines of investigation. First, orthogonal chemistry approaches are discussed, which are based on the incorporation of catalytically active transition metal-containing nanoparticles in living cells. The second approach involves the use of premade hybrid nanoreactors, which show transient function when taken up by living cells. The third approach utilizes mostly genetic engineering methods to create bio-based structures that can be ultimately integrated with the cell's genome to make them constitutively active. The current state of the art and the scope and limitations of the field will be highlighted with selected examples from the three approaches.
