Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries with high theoretical energy density (2600 Wh kg-1) are considered to be one of the most promising secondary batteries. However, the practical application of Li-S batteries is limited by the polysulfides shuttling and unstable lithium metal anodes. Herein, an asymmetric separator (CACNM@PP), composed of Co-Ni/MXene (CNM) on the cathode and Cu-Ag/MXene (CAM) on the anode for high-performance Li-S batteries is reported. For the cathode, CNM provides a synergistic effect by integrating Co, Ni, and MXene, resulting in strong chemical interactions and fast conversion kinetics for polysulfides. For the anode, CAM with abundant lithiophilicity active sites can lower the nucleation barrier of Li. Moreover, LiCl/LiF layers are generated in situ as an ion conductor layer during charging and discharging, inducing a uniform deposition of Li. Therefore, the assembled cells with the CACNM@PP separators harvest excellent electrochemical performance. This work provides novel insights into the development of commercially available high-energy density Li-S batteries with asymmetric separators.

Abstract
The electrochemical conversion of oxygen holds great promise in the development of sustainable energy for various applications, such as water electrolysis, regenerative fuel cells, and rechargeable metal-air batteries. Oxygen electrocatalysts are needed that are both highly efficient and affordable, since they can serve as alternatives to costly precious-metal-based catalysts. This aspect is particularly significant for their practical implementation on a large scale in the future. Herein, highly porous polyhedron-entrapped metal-organic framework (MOF)-assisted CoTe2/MnTe2 heterostructure one-dimensional nanorods were initially synthesized using a simple hydrothermal strategy and then transformed into ZIF-67 followed by tellurization which was used as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The designed MOF CoTe2/MnTe2 nanorod electrocatalyst exhibited superior activity for both OER (η = 220 mV@ 10 mA cm-2) and ORR (E1/2 = 0.81 V vs RHE) and outstanding stability. The exceptional achievement could be primarily credited to the porous structure, interconnected designs, and deliberately created deficiencies that enhanced the electrocatalytic activity for the OER/ORR. This improvement was predominantly due to the enhanced electrochemical surface area and charge transfer inherent in the materials. Therefore, this simple and cost-effective method can be used to produce highly active bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Bone tissue is composed of organic minerals and cells. It has the capacity to heal for certain minor damages, but when the bone defects surpass the critical threshold, they need fixing. Bone regeneration through natural and synthetic biodegradable materials requires various steps, such as manufacturing methods and materials selection. A successful biodegradable bone graft should have a high surface area/ volume ratio, strength, and a biocompatible, porous structure capable of promoting cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Considering these requirements, the electrospinning technique is promising for creating functional nano-sized scaffolds. The multi-axial methods, such as coaxial and triaxial electrospinning, are the most popular techniques to produce double or tri-layered scaffolds, respectively. Recently, stem cell culture on scaffolds and the application of osteogenic differentiation protocols on these scaffolds have opened new possibilities in the field of biomaterials research. This review discusses an overview of the progress in coaxial and triaxial technology through biodegradable composite bone materials. The review also carefully elaborates the osteogenic differentiation using stem cells and their performance with nano-sized scaffolds.

Abstract
Cell's activities are highly dependent on signal molecules, of which reactive oxygen species of the superoxide anion (O2•-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are important ones that always work together to regulate biological processes such as apoptosis and oxidative stress. It is of significance to realize simultaneous qualification of O2•- and H2O2 but it still faces challenges particularly in live-cell assay with a complex environment. We report the design of a bifunctional sensing material by interfacially regulating ZIF-67 on bacteria Shewanella putrefaciens to generate cobalt nanoparticles/nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanorods (Co/N-doped CNRs) and its sensing chip for qualifying cell-released O2•- and H2O2. Co/N-doped CNRs exhibit unique properties including porous structure for significantly increased reaction surface area and coordinating Co nanoparticles for rich active sites. The bifunctional Co/N-doped CNRs is used to fabricate the electrochemical sensing chip, which achieves a fast response time (0.5 s for O2•-, 1.9 s for H2O2), a low detection limit (0.69 nM for O2•-, 2.25 μM for H2O2), and a remarkably high sensitivity (792.30 μA·μM-1·cm-2 for O2•-, 153.91 μA·mM-1·cm-2 for H2O2), among the best of reported bifunctional nanozymes.

Abstract
The hurdle of fabricating asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) devices using a faradic cathode and a double layer anode is challenging due to the required large amount of active mass of anodic material compared to that of the cathodic material during mass balancing due to the large difference in capacitance values of the two electrodes. Here, the problem is addressed by engineering a negative electrode that furnishes an ultrahigh capacitance. An in situ developed metal-organic framework (MOF)-based thermal treatment is adopted to grow highly porous N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) containing submerged Co nanoparticles over nano-fibrillated electrospun hollow carbon nanofibers (HCNFs). The optimized CNT@HCNF-1.5 furnishes an ultrahigh capacitance approaching 712 F g-1 with excellent rate capability. The capacitance reported from this work is the highest for any carbonaceous material reported to date. The CNT@HCNF-1.5 is further used to fabricate symmetric supercapacitors (SSCs), as well as ASC devices. Remarkably, both the SSC and ASC devices furnish incredible performances in all aspects of SCs, such as a high energy density, long cycle life, and high rate capability, displaying decent practical applicability. The energy density of the SSC device reaches as high as 20.13 W h kg-1 , whereas that of ASC approaches 87.5 W h kg-1 .

Abstract
The development of multicomponent materials is the most efficient and successful way for creating advanced multifunctional catalysts. Herein, the bimetal FeCo nanoarrays enclosed N-CNTs have a high surface on carbon cloth support, which promotes efficient electron transport and prevents nanoparticle aggregation. Taking advantage of the high-level use of active material and fast charge transfer, the developed electrocatalyst exhibits excellent multifunctional electrocatalyst such as oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The N-CNTs@MOF FeCo nanoarrays @CC exhibit higher activity than reference catalysts including MOF FeCo nanoarrays@CC, FeCo nanoarrays@CC, and CC. Interestingly, the synthesized multifunctional catalyst, which serves as the air electrode in zinc-air batteries with liquid electrolytes as well as solid-state gel electrolytes possesses outstanding charging-discharge performance and long service life. This study provides enormous potential for the real implementation of portable, even wearable, and efficient rechargeable batteries in the future.

Abstract
The exploration of high-performance and low-cost electrocatalysts towards the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for large-scale water/seawater splitting. Herein, we develop a strategy involving the in situ generation of a template and pore-former to encapsulate a Ni5P4/Ni2P heterojunction and dispersive FeNi alloy hybrid particles into a three-dimensional hierarchical porous graphitic carbon framework (labeled as Ni5P4/Ni2P–FeNi@C) via a room-temperature solid-state grinding and sodium-carbonate-assisted pyrolysis method. The synergistic effect of the components and the architecture provides a large surface area with a sufficient number of active sites and a hierarchical porous pathway for efficient electron transfer and mass diffusion. Furthermore, a graphitic carbon coating layer restrains the corrosion of alloy particles to boost the long-term durability of the catalyst. Consequently, the Ni5P4/Ni2P–FeNi@C catalyst exhibits extraordinary OER activity with a low overpotential of 242 mV (10 mA cm−2), outperforming the commercial RuO2 catalyst in 1 M KOH. Meanwhile, a scale-up of the Ni5P4/Ni2P–FeNi@C catalyst created by a ball-milling method displays a similar level of activity to the above grinding method. In 1 M KOH + seawater electrolyte, Ni5P4/Ni2P–FeNi@C also displays excellent stability; it can continuously operate for 160 h with a negligible potential increase of 2 mV. This work may provide a new avenue for facile mass production of an efficient electrocatalyst for water/seawater splitting and diverse other applications.

Abstract
Nitrogen- and transition metal-dual doped carbon materials with low cost and high catalytic performances are considered as one of promising alternatives for noble metal catalysts in acceleration of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In this work, three-dimensional (3D) self-supporting superstructures of iron carbide (Fe3C) nanoclusters entrapped in manganese (Mn)- and nitrogen (N)-dual doped carbon nanosheets covered with double-sided nanoneedles carbon arrays (Fe3C/Mn,N-NCAs) are simply synthesized by a coordination pyrolysis method, in which dicyandiamide mainly behaves as nitrogen source and 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) as carbon source. Integration of the unique 3D self-supporting superstructures and synergistic effects of the multi-compositions, the as-obtained catalyst displays appealing ORR performance such as the much positive onset potential (Eonset = 0.98 V vs. RHE) and half-wave potential (E1/2 = 0.88 V vs. RHE), as well as a just 10 mV negative shift in E1/2 after 2000 cycles, surpassing commercial Pt/C. This work provides some valuable perspectives for preparation of high-efficiency and low-cost non-noble metal ORR electrocatalysts in energy transformation and storage correlated systems.

Abstract
There is still a significant technical hurdle in the integration of better electrocatalysts with coordinated functional units and morphological integrity that improves reversible electrochemical activity, electrical conductivity, and mass transport capabilities. In this work, ruthenium-integrating porous bimetallic transition metal nanoarrays are efficiently generated from metal-organic framework-covered three-dimensional platforms such as carbon cloth using a simple solution-based deposition technique followed by calcination. Heterostructure ruthenium-cobalt-iron hollow nanoarrays are built to permit exceptionally effective multifunctional activities in reactions including the oxygen evolution reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, and oxygen reduction reaction. As presumed, the as-synthesized porous nanostructured arrays show remarkable electrochemical performance due to the benefits of copious active reaction sites, and efficient electron and ion transport channels. The oxygen reduction reaction of the porous nanostructured array electrocatalyst has a half-wave potential of 0.875 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode and can achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at low overpotentials of 220 and 50 mV for the oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions, respectively, and the needed cell voltage for total water splitting is just 1.49 V at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The fabricated electrolyzer coupling splits seawater at relatively low cell voltages of 1.54 V at ambient temperature.

Abstract
Hierarchically porous metal-organic frameworks (HP-MOFs) are promising in many applications. However, most previous studies focus on HP-MOFs with two kinds of pore structures. Herein, a strategy for efficient construction of HP-MOFs possessing macro-meso-micropores using template-assisted spray drying followed by etching process is proposed. Taking ZIF-8 as an example, using polystyrene (PS) templates, the complete HP-ZIF-8 with all the three categories of pores can be easily fabricated. The close arrangement of intrinsic microporous nanosized ZIF-8 (N-ZIF-8) in the spray drying process results in the creation of mesopores, while the macropores are further generated after the removal of PS templates. The structures of macropores and mesopores can be easily adjusted by altering the size and proportion of PS and the size of N-ZIF-8, respectively. Furthermore, this method is extended to the preparation of HP-HKUST-1. As a proof-of-concept, HP-ZIF-8 displays excellent catalytic properties in Knoevenagel reaction owing to its unique pore features. Compared with conventional microsized ZIF-8 (M-ZIF-8) with similar size, HP-ZIF-8 achieves the significantly increased conversion of benzaldehyde from 55% to 100% within 3 h, and shows better recycling performance than N-ZIF-8.

Abstract
Exosomes derived from human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs-Exos) have shown potential as an effective therapeutic tool for repairing bone defects. Although metal-organic framework (MOF) scaffolds are promising strategies for bone tissue regeneration, their potential use for exosome loading remains unexplored. In this study, motivated by the potential advantages of hADSCs-Exos and Mg-GA MOF, we designed and synthesized an exosome-functionalized cell-free PLGA/Mg-GA MOF (PLGA/Exo-Mg-GA MOF) scaffold, taking using of the benefits of hADSCs-Exos, Mg2+, and gallic acid (GA) to construct unique nanostructural interfaces to enhance osteogenic, angiogenic and anti-inflammatory capabilities simultaneously. Our in vitro work demonstrated the beneficial effects of PLGA/Exo-Mg-GA MOF composite scaffolds on the osteogenic effects in human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and angiogenic effects in human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs). Slowly released hADSCs-Exos from composite scaffolds were phagocytosed by co-cultured cells, stabilized the bone graft environment, ensured blood supply, promoted osteogenic differentiation, and accelerated bone reconstruction. Furthermore, our in vivo experiments with rat calvarial defect model showed that PLGA/Exo-Mg-GA MOF scaffolds promoted new bone formation and satisfactory osseointegration. Overall, we provide valuable new insights for designing exosome-coated nanocomposite scaffolds with enhanced osteogenesis property. PLGA/Exo-Mg-GA MOF scaffolds with nanostructures were synthesized, on which exosomes were densely deposited on the above scaffolds. Composite scaffolds with exosomes can actualize the slow release of exosomes, Mg ions and gallic acid. PLGA/Exo-Mg-GA MOF scaffolds exhibit great biocompatibility and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. PLGA/Exo-Mg-GA MOF scaffolds have excellent osteogenic, pro-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory activity.
