[PMID: 39142151 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.08.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024]
Abstract
Against the backdrop of energy shortage, hydrogen energy has attracted much attention as a green and clean energy source. In order to explore efficient hydrogen production pathways, we designed a composite photocatalyst with carbon-based core-shell photothermal-assisted photocatalytic system (Carbon@ZnIn2S4, denoted as C@ZIS). The well-designed catalyst C@ZIS composites demonstrated a photocatalytic hydrogen precipitation rate of 2.97 mmol g-1 h-1 even in the absence of the noble metal Pt co-catalyst. The incorporation of carbon-based core-shell photocatalysts into a photocatalytic reaction significantly affects the activity of the reaction by triggering a photothermal effect in the reaction solution. The results of the physicochemical experiments demonstrated that the carbon spheres in C@ZIS composite system could provide a greater number of active sites, thereby accelerating the electron transfer and separation efficiency, and thus enhancing the photocatalytic activity. The study presents an efficacious design concept for the development of efficacious carbon-based core-shell photothermal-assisted photocatalysts, which is anticipated to facilitate the efficient conversion of solar energy to hydrogen energy.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202408914. [PMID: 38957932 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202408914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
Dual-atom catalysts (DACs) have been proposed to break the limitation of single-atom catalysts (SACs) in the synergistic activation of multiple molecules and intermediates, offering an additional degree of freedom for catalytic regulation. However, it remains a challenge to synthesize DACs with high uniformity, atomic accuracy, and satisfactory loadings. Herein, we report a facile cascade synthetic strategy for DAC via precise electrostatic interaction control and neighboring vacancy construction. We synthesized well-defined, uniformly dispersed dual Fe sites which were connected by two nitrogen bonds (denoted as Fe-N2-Fe). The as-synthesized DAC exhibited superior catalytic performances towards oxygen reduction reaction, including good half-wave potential (0.91 V), high kinetic current density (21.66 mA cm-2), and perfect durability. Theoretical calculation revealed that the DAC structure effectively tunes the oxygen adsorption configuration and decreases the cleavage barrier, thereby improving the catalytic kinetics. The DAC-based zinc-air batteries exhibited impressive power densities of 169.8 and 52.18 mW cm-2 at 25 °C and -40 °C, which is 1.7 and 2.0 times higher than those based on Pt/C+Ir/C, respectively. We also demonstrated the universality of our strategy in synthesizing other M-N2-M DACs (M=Co, Cu, Ru, Pd, Pt, and Au), facilitating the construction of a DAC library for different catalytic applications.

Using Activated Hollow Carbon Nanospheres as Sorbents. Int J Anal Chem 2024; 2024:2681595.

Abstract
Herein, a micro-solid-phase extraction (μSPE) method was developed using a pipette tip for rutin extraction, employing activated hollow carbon nanospheres (HCNSs) as the sorbent. Characterization of the activated carbon nanospheres through TGA, FTIR, and SEM analysis confirmed the success of the activation process. The study demonstrated the efficacy of PT-μSPE in rutin extraction under pH 2 conditions with a standard concentration of 2 mg·L-1. The optimal mass of HCNSs was found to be 2 mg, and a loading volume of 500 μL resulted in the maximum recovery of rutin. Propan-2-ol was the best elution solvent with 15 aspirating/dispensing cycles. The correlation of determination (R 2) for the calibration curve was found to be 0.9991, and the LOD and LOQ values were 0.604 and 1.830 mg·L-1, respectively. The applicability of the method was demonstrated by extracting rutin from a complex Moringa oleifera leaf extract with the relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.26%, thereby validating this method as feasible for the extraction of useful bioactive compounds from complex plant samples.

Abstract
Functional mesoporous carbon nanomaterials with large pores and small particle sizes have broad accessibility, but remain challenging to achieve. This study proposed a dual-template synergistic assembly strategy to facilely synthesize extra-small nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon nanospheres with large pores in a low-cost manner. Directed by the synergistic effect of the combination of surfactants, sodium oleate (anionic surfactant) and triblock copolymer-P123 (nonionic surfactant) were selected as templates to construct nanomicelles (nanoemulsions), which were co-assembled with melamine-based oligomers to form composite nanomicelles, thus obtaining nitrogen-doped mesoporous polymer nanospheres (NMePS) and then nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon nanospheres (NMeCS). Based on Schiff base chemistry, the melamine-based oligomers with self-assembly capability were synthesized as precursors, which is different from the conventional synthetic route of melamine-formaldehyde resin. The key parameters involved in the route were investigated comprehensively and correlated with the characterization results. Furthermore, the 50 nm-scale particle size and the large mesoporous size of 5.5 nm of NMeCS can facilitate effective mass transport, coupled with their high nitrogen content (15.7 wt%), contributing to their excellent performance in lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Developing real-time, dynamic, and in situ analytical methods with high spatial and temporal resolutions is crucial for exploring biochemical processes in the brain. Although in vivo electrochemical methods based on carbon fiber (CF) microelectrodes are effective in monitoring neurochemical dynamics during physiological and pathological processes, complex post modification hinders large-scale productions and widespread neuroscience applications. Herein, we develop a general strategy for the in situ engineering of carbon-based materials to mass-produce functional CFs by introducing polydopamine to anchor zeolitic imidazolate frameworks as precursors, followed by one-step pyrolysis. This strategy demonstrates exceptional universality and design flexibility, overcoming complex post-modification procedures and avoiding the delamination of the modification layer. This simplifies the fabrication and integration of functional CF-based microelectrodes. Moreover, we design highly stable and selective H+, O2, and ascorbate microsensors and monitor the influence of CO2 exposure on the O2 content of the cerebral tissue during physiological and ischemia-reperfusion pathological processes.

Abstract
Porous materials, characterized by their controllable pore size, high specific surface area, and controlled space functionality, have become cross-scale structures with microenvironment effects and multiple functions and have gained tremendous attention in the fields of catalysis, energy storage, and biomedicine. They have evolved from initial nanopores to multiscale pore-cavity designs with yolk-shell, multishells, or asymmetric structures, such as bottle-shaped, multichambered, and branching architectures. Various synthesis strategies have been developed for the interfacial engineering of porous structures, including bottom-up approaches by using liquid-liquid or liquid-solid interfaces "templating" and top-down approaches toward chemical tailoring of polymers with different cross-linking degrees, as well as interface transformation using the Oswald ripening, Kirkendall effect, or atomic diffusion and rearrangement methods. These techniques permit the design of functional porous materials with diverse microenvironment effects, such as the pore size effect, pore enrichment effect, pore isolation and synergistic effect, and pore local field enhancement effect, for enhanced applications. In this review, we delve into the bottom-up and top-down interfacial-oriented synthesis approaches of porous structures with advanced structures and microenvironment effects. We also discuss the recent progress in the applications of these collaborative effects and structure-activity relationships in the areas of catalysis, energy storage, electrochemical conversion, and biomedicine. Finally, we outline the persisting obstacles and prospective avenues in terms of controlled synthesis and functionalization of porous engineering. The perspectives proposed in this paper may contribute to promote wider applications in various interdisciplinary fields within the confined dimensions of porous structures.

Abstract
Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) have emerged as a versatile and multifunctional platform applied in bioimaging, disease treatment, electrocatalysis, and water purification. The synthesis of MPNs with mesoporous frameworks and ultra-small diameters (<200 nm), crucial for post-modification, cargo loading, and mass transport, remains a formidable challenge. Inspired by mussel chemistry, mesoporous metal-phenolic nanospheres (MMPNs) are facilely prepared by direct deposition of the metal-polyphenol complex on the interface of oil nano-droplets composed of block copolymers/1,3,5-trimethylbenzene followed by a spontaneous template-removal process. Due to the penetrable and stable networks, the oil nano-droplets gradually leak from the networks driven by shear stress during the stirring process. As a result, MMPNs are obtained without additional template removal procedures such as solvent extraction or high-temperature calcination. The materials have a large pore size (∼12.1 nm), uniform spherical morphology with a small particle size (∼99 nm), and a large specific surface area (49.8 m2 g-1). Due to the abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups, the MMPNs show excellent antioxidative property. The MMPNs also have excellent photothermal property, whose photothermal conversion efficiency was 40.9 %. Moreover, the phenolic hydroxyl groups can reduce Ag+ in situ to prepare Ag nanoparticles loaded MMPNs composites, which have excellent inhibition performance of drug-resistant bacteria biofilm.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted extensive attention in the field of catalysis due to their excellent catalytic ability and enhanced atomic utilization, but the multi-mode single-atom nanozymes for biosensors remain a challenging issue. In this work, iron-doped carbon dots (Fe CDs) were loaded onto the edges and pores of Mo SACs with nanoflower morphology; accordingly, a composite material Fe CDs/Mo SACs was prepared successfully, which improves the catalytic performance and develops a fluorescence mode without changing the original morphology. The steady-state kinetic data indicates that the material prepared have better affinity for substrates and faster reaction rates under optimized conditions. The specific kinetic parameters Km and Vmax were calculated as 0.39 mM and 7.502×10-7 M·s-1 respectively. The excellent peroxidase-like activity of Fe CDs/Mo SACs allows H2O2 to decompose into •OH, which in turn oxidizes colorless o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to yellow 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP). At the same time, the fluorescence signal of Fe CDs/Mo SACs quenches obviously by DAP at 460 nm through internal filtration effect (IFE), while the characteristic fluorescence response of DAP gradually increases at 590 nm. Based on this sensing mechanism, a sensitive and accurate dual-mode (colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent) sensor was constructed to detect H2O2 and uric acid, and the rate of recovery and linearity were acceptable for the detection of UA in human serum and urine samples. This method provides a new strategy for rapid and sensitive detection of UA, and also broadens the development of SACs in the field of biosensors.

Abstract
Albeit microemulsion systems have emerged as efficient platforms for fabricating tunable nano/microstructures, lack of understanding on the emulsion-interfacial assembly hindered the control of fabrication. Herein, a nucleation-inhibited microemulsion interfacial assembly method is proposed, which deviates from conventional interfacial nucleation approaches, for the synthesis of polydopamine microvesicles (PDA MVs). These PDA MVs exhibit an approximate diameter of 1 µm, showcasing a pliable structure reminiscent of cellular morphology. Through modifications of antibodies on the surface of PDA MVs, their capacity as artificial antigen presentation cells is evaluated. In comparison to solid nanoparticles, PDA MVs with cell-like structures show enhanced T-cell activation, resulting in a 1.5-fold increase in CD25 expression after 1 day and a threefold surge in PD-1 positivity after 7 days. In summary, the research elucidates the influence of nucleation and interfacial assembly in microemulsion polymerization systems, providing a direct synthesis method for MVs and substantiating their effectiveness as artificial antigen-presenting cells.

Abstract
Despite the great potential of starving therapy caused by nanoreactor based on glucose oxidase (GOX) in tumor therapy, efficiency and uncontrolled reaction rates in vivo lead to inevitable toxicity to normal tissues, which seriously hindering their clinical conversion. Herein, a cascade nanoreactor (GOX/Mn/MPDA) was constructed by coating mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA) with MnO2 shell and then depositing GOX into honeycomb-shaped manganese oxide nanostructures to achieve a combination of ferroptosis, photothermal therapy and starving therapy. Upon uptake of nanodrugs to cancer cells, the MnO2 shell would deplete glutathione (GSH) and produce Mn2+, while a large amount of H2O2 generated from the catalytic oxidation of glucose by GOX would accelerate the Fenton-like reaction mediated by Mn2+, producing high toxic •OH. More importantly, the cascade reaction between GOX and MnO2 would be further strengthened by localized hyperthermia caused by irradiated by near-infrared laser (NIR), inducing significant anti-tumor effects in vitro and in vivo. Regarding the effectiveness of tumor treatment in vivo, the tumor inhibition rate achieved an impressive 64.33%. This study provided a new strategy for anti-tumor therapeutic by designing a photothermal-enhanced cascade catalytic nanoreactor.

Abstract
Capacitive carbon cathodes deliver great potential for zinc-ion hybrid capacitors (ZHCs) due to their resource abundance and structural versatility. However, the dimension mismatch between the micropores of carbons and hydrated Zn2+ ions often results in unsatisfactory charge storage capability. Here well-arranged heterodiatomic carbon superstructures are reported with compatible pore dimensions for activating Zn2+ ions, initiated by the supramolecular self-assembly of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine and cyanuric acid via in-plane hydrogen-bonds and out-of-plane π-π interactions. Flower-shaped carbon superstructures expose more surface-active motifs, continuous charge-transport routes, and more importantly, well-developed pores. The primary subnanopores of 0.82 nm are size-exclusively accessible for solvated Zn2+ ions (0.86 nm) to maximize spatial charge storage, while rich mesopores (1-3 nm) allow for high-kinetics ion migration with a low activation energy. Such favorable superstructure cathodes contribute to all-round performance improvement for ZHCs, including high energy density (158 Wh kg-1), fast-charging ability (50 A g-1), and excellent cyclic lifespan (100 000 cycles). An anion-cation hybrid charge storage mechanism is elucidated for superstructure cathode, which entails alternate physical uptake of Zn2+/CF3SO3 - at electroactive pores and bipedal chemical binding of Zn2+ to electronegative carbonyl/pyridine motifs. This work expands the design landscape of carbon superstructures for advanced energy storage.

Abstract
Asymmetric soft-stiff patch nanohybrids with small size, spatially separated organics and inorganics, controllable configuration, and appealing functionality are important in applications, while the synthesis remains a great challenge. Herein, based on polymeric single micelles (the smallest assembly subunit of mesoporous materials), we report a dynamic surface-mediated anisotropic assembly approach to fabricate a new type of small asymmetric organic/inorganic patch nanohybrid for the first time. The size of this asymmetric organic/inorganic nanohybrid is ∼20 nm, which contains dual distinct subunits of a soft organic PS-PVP-PEO single micelle nanosphere (12 nm in size and 632 MPa in Young' modulus) and stiff inorganic SiO2 nanobulge (∼8 nm, 2275 MPa). Moreover, the number of SiO2 nanobulges anchored on each micelle can be quantitatively controlled (from 1 to 6) by dynamically tuning the density (fluffy or dense state) of the surface cap organic groups. This small asymmetric patch nanohybrid also exhibits a dramatically enhanced uptake level of which the total amount of intracellular endocytosis is about three times higher than that of the conventional nanohybrids.

Abstract
Rational structure design is significant for the selenide anodes in the sodium/potassium ion batteries (SIBs/PIBs). Herein, dual engineering of hetero-interfaces and architecture is proposed to design SIB/PIB anodes. Attributed to the coordination binding with Mo7O246- and VO3-, the polydopamine assembly is demonstrated as an ideal template to produce bimetallic selenide of MoSe2/VSe1.6 anchoring on the in-situ N-doped carbon matrix (MoSe2/VSe1.6@NC). This ingenious hierarchical nanoflower structure can shorten the Na+/K+ diffusion length, increase the electron conductivity and buffer the volume changes, which can promote Na+/K+ reaction kinetics and stabilize the cycling performance. Consequently, the sodium/ potassium storage performance of MoSe2/VSe1.6@NC can be boosted. In SIBs, it achieves a capacity of 202 mAh/g at 10.0 A/g for 5000 cycles. Meanwhile, stable capacities of 207.1 mAh/g can be reached at 1.0 A/g over 1000 cycles in the PIBs. Furthermore, impressive capacities of 222.1 mAh/g and 100.4 mAh/g are delivered in the full cells of MoSe2/VSe1.6@NC//Na3V2(PO4)3@C and MoSe2/VSe1.6@NC//FePBA, respectively. This proves the potential practical application for the MoSe2/VSe1.6@NC anode in SIBs/PIBs.

Abstract
Construction of mesoporous frameworks by noncovalent bonding still remains a great challenge. Here, we report a micelle-directed nanocluster modular self-assembly approach to synthesize a novel type of two-dimensional (2-D) hydrogen-bonded mesoporous frameworks (HMFs) for the first time based on nanoscale cluster units (1.0-3.0 nm in size). In this 2-D structure, a mesoporous cluster plate with ∼100 nm in thickness and several micrometers in size can be stably formed into uniform hexagonal arrays. Meanwhile, such a porous plate consists of several (3-4) dozens of layers of ultrathin mesoporous cluster nanosheets. The size of the mesopores can be precisely controlled from 11.6 to 18.5 nm by utilizing the amphiphilic diblock copolymer micelles with tunable block lengths. Additionally, the pore configuration of the HMFs can be changed from spherical to cylindrical by manipulating the concentration of the micelles. As a general approach, various new HMFs have been achieved successfully via a modular self-assembly of nanoclusters with switchable configurations (nanoring, Keggin-type, and cubane-like) and components (titanium-oxo, polyoxometalate, and organometallic clusters). As a demonstration, the titanium-oxo cluster-based HMFs show efficient photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution (3.6 mmol g-1h-1), with a conversion rate about 2 times higher than that of the unassembled titanium-oxo clusters (1.5 mmol g-1h-1). This demonstrates that HMFs exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity compared with unassembled titanium-oxo clusters units.

Abstract
Shuttling of lithium polysulfides and slow redox kinetics seriously limit the rate and cycling performance of lithium-sulfur batteries. In this study, Fe3O4-dopped carbon cubosomes with a plumber's nightmare structure (SP-Fe3O4-C) are prepared as sulfur hosts to construct cathodes with high rate capability and long cycling life for Li-S batteries. Their three-dimensional continuous mesochannels and carbon frameworks, along with the uniformly distributed Fe3O4 particles, enable smooth mass/electron transport, strong polysulfides capture capability, and fast catalytic conversion of the sulfur species. Impressively, the SP-Fe3O4-C cathode exhibits top-level comprehensive performance, with high specific capacity (1303.4 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C), high rate capability (691.8 mAh gFe3O41 at 5 C), and long cycling life (over 1200 cycles). This study demonstrates a unique structure for high-performance Li-S batteries and opens a distinctive avenue for developing multifunctional electrode materials for next-generation energy storage devices.

Cisplatin-loaded mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles capped with MnO 2 and coated with platelet membrane provide synergistic anti-tumor therapy. Int J Pharm 2024; 656:124093. [PMID: 38583822 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
A multifunctional nanoplatform was constructed in this work, with the goal of ameliorating the challenges faced with traditional cancer chemotherapy. Cisplatin (CP) was loaded into mesoporous polydopamine (mPDA) nanoparticles (NPs) with a drug loading of 15.8 ± 0.1 %, and MnO2 used as pore sealing agent. Finally, the NPs were wrapped with platelet membrane (PLTM). P-selectin on the PLTM can bind to CD44, which is highly expressed on the tumor cell membrane, so as to improve the targeting performance of the NPs. In addition, the CD47 on the PLTM can prevent the NPs from being phagocytosed by macrophages, which is conducive to immune escape. The final PLTM-CP@mPDA/MnO2 NPs were found to have a particle size of approximately 198 nm. MnO2 is degraded into Mn2+ in the tumor microenvironment, leading to CP release from the pores in the mPDA. CP both acts as a chemotherapy agent and can also increase the concentration of H2O2 in cells. Mn2+ can catalyze the conversion of H2O2 to OH, resulting in oxidative damage and chemodynamic therapy. In addition, Mn2+ can be used as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to explore the therapeutic effect of the NPs. When the concentration of CP is 30 μg/mL, the NPs cause approximately 50 % cell death. It was found that the PLTM-CP@mPDA/MnO2 NPs are targeted to cancerous cells, and in the tumor site cause extensive apoptosis. Tumor growth is thereby repressed. No negative off-target side effects were noted. MRI could be used to confirm the presence of the NPs in the tumor site. Overall, the nano-platform developed here provides cooperative chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy, and can potentially be used for effective cancer treatment which could be monitored by MRI.

Abstract
Recently, nanozyme-based photothermal-catalytic therapy has emerged as a promising strategy for antitumor treatment. Extensive research has focused on optimizing the catalytic activity and photothermal conversion performance of nanozymes through size, morphology, and surface property regulations. However, the biological effects of nanozymes, such as cellular uptake and cytotoxicity, resulting from their physicochemical properties, remain largely unexplored. In this study, two types of polydopamine/platinum (PDA@Pt) nanozymes, flower-like (FPDA@Pt) and mesoporous spherical-like (MPDA@Pt), to comprehensively compare their enzyme-mimicking activity, photothermal conversion capacity, and antitumor efficiency are designed. These findings revealed that FPDA@Pt exhibited superior peroxidase-like activity and higher photothermal conversion efficiency compared to MPDA@Pt. This led to enhanced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increased heat generation at tumor sites. Importantly, it is observed thatthe flower-like structure of FPDA@Pt facilitated enhanced cellular uptake, leading to an increased accumulation of nanozymes within tumor cells. Furthermore, the light irradiation on tumors also triggered a series of anti-tumor immune responses, further enhancing the therapeutic efficacy. This work provides a possible design orientation for nanozyme-based photothermal-catalytic tumor therapy, highlighting the importance of considering the physicochemical properties of nanozymes to optimize their therapeutic potential in antitumor strategies.

Abstract
Ferroptosis has emerged as a promising strategy for treating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) due to bypassing apoptosis and triggering immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumor cells. However, the antitumor efficacy has been limited by the insufficient intracellular ferrous iron concentration required for ferroptosis and inadequate antitumor immune response. To address these limitations, we designed a multi-mode nano-platform (MP-FA@R-F NPs), which exhibited a synergistic effect of ferroptosis, apoptosis and induced immune response for enhanced antitumor therapy. MP-FA@R-F NPs target folate receptors, which are over-expressed on the tumor cell's surface to promote intracellular uptake. The cargoes, including Rhein and Fe3O4, would be released in intracellular acid, accelerating by NIR laser irradiation. The released Rhein induced apoptosis of tumor cells mediated by the caspase 3 signal pathway, while the released Fe3O4 triggered ferroptosis through the Fenton reaction and endowed the nanoplatform with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capabilities. In addition, ferroptosis-dying tumor cells could release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) to promote T cell activation and infiltration for immune response and induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) for tumor immunotherapy. Together, MP-FA@R-F NPs represent a potential synergistic ferro-/chemo-/immuno-therapy strategy with MRI guidance for enhanced antitumor therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The massive strategies of cancer therapy based on ferroptosis have been emerging in recent years, which provided new insights into designing materials for cancer therapy. However, the antitumor efficacy of ferroptosis is still unsatisfactory, mainly due to insufficient intracellular pro-ferroptotic stimuli. In the current study, we designed a multi-mode nano-platform (MP-FA@R-F NPs), which represented a potential synergistic ferro-/chemo-/immuno-therapy strategy with MRI guidance for enhanced antitumor therapy.

Abstract
The surface modification of amorphous carbon nanospheres (ACNs) through templates has attracted great attention due to its great success in improving the electrochemical properties of lithium storage materials. Herein, a safe methodology with toluene as a soft template is employed to tailor the nanostructure, resulting in ACNs with tunable surface pores. Extensive characterizations through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms elucidate the impact of surface pore modifications on the external structure, morphology, and surface area. Electrochemical assessments reveal the enhanced performance of the surface-pore-modified carbon nanospheres, particularly ACNs-100 synthesized with the addition of 100 μL toluene, in terms of the initial discharge capacity, rate performance, and cycling stability. The interesting phenomenon of persistent capacity increase is ascribed to lithium ion movement within the graphite-like interlayer, resulting in ACNs-100 experiencing a capacity upswing from an initial 320 mAh g-1 to a zenith of 655 mAh g-1 over a thousand cycles at a rate of 2 C. The findings in this study highlight the pivotal role of tailored nanostructure engineering in optimizing energy storage materials.

Abstract
Improving reaction selectivity is the next target for nanozymes to mimic natural enzymes. Currently, the majority of strategies in this field are exclusively applicable to metal-organic-based or organic-based nanozymes, while limited in regulating metal oxide-based semiconductor nanozymes. Herein, taking semiconductor Co3O4 as an example, a heterojunction strategy to precisely regulate nanozyme selectivity by simultaneously regulating three vital factors including band structure, metal valence state, and oxygen vacancy content is proposed. After introducing MnO2 to form Z-scheme heterojunctions with Co3O4 nanoparticles, the catalase (CAT)-like and peroxidase (POD)-like activities of Co3O4 can be precisely regulated since the introduction of MnO2 affects the position of the conduction bands, preserves Co in a higher oxidation state (Co3+), and increases oxygen vacancy content, enabling Co3O4-MnO2 exhibit improved CAT-like activity and reduced POD-like activity. This study proposes a strategy for improving reaction selectivity of Co3O4, which contributes to the development of metal oxide-based semiconductor nanozymes.

Abstract
Ordered mesoporous crystalline frameworks (MCFs), which possess both functional frameworks and well-defined porosity, receive considerable attention because of their unique properties including high surface areas, large pore sizes, tailored porous structures, and compositions. Construction of novel crystalline mesoporous architectures that allows for rich accessible active sites and efficient mass transfer is envisaged to offer ample opportunities for potential energy-related applications. In this review, the rational synthesis, unique structures, and energy applications of MCFs are the main focus. After summarizing the synthetic approaches, an emphasis is placed on the delicate control of crystallites, mesophases, and nano-architectures by concluding basic principles and showing representative examples. Afterward, the currently fabricated components of MCFs such as metals, metal oxides, metal sulfides, and metal-organic frameworks are described in sequence. Further, typical applications of MCFs in rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis are highlighted. This review ends with the possible development and synthetic challenges of MCFs as well as a future prospect for high-efficiency energy applications, which underscores a pathway for developing advanced materials.

Abstract
The high-current-density Zn-air battery shows big prospects in next-generation energy technologies, while sluggish O2 reaction and diffusion kinetics barricade the applications. Herein, the sequential assembly is innovatively demonstrated for hierarchically mesoporous molybdenum carbides/carbon microspheres with a tunable thickness of mesoporous carbon layers (Meso-Mo2C/C-x, where x represents the thickness). The optimum Meso-Mo2C/C-14 composites (≈2 µm in diameter) are composed of mesoporous nanosheets (≈38 nm in thickness), which possess bilateral mesoporous carbon layers (≈14 nm in thickness), inner Mo2C/C layers (≈8 nm in thickness) with orthorhombic Mo2C nanoparticles (≈2 nm in diameter), a high surface area of ≈426 m2 g-1, and open mesopores (≈6.9 nm in size). Experiments and calculations corroborate the hierarchically mesoporous Mo2C/C can enhance hydrophilicity for supplying sufficient O2, accelerate oxygen reduction kinetics by highly-active Mo2C and N-doped carbon sites, and facilitate O2 diffusion kinetics over hierarchically mesopores. Therefore, Meso-Mo2C/C-14 outputs a high half-wave potential (0.88 V vs RHE) with a low Tafel slope (51 mV dec-1) for oxygen reduction. More significantly, the Zn-air battery delivers an ultrahigh power density (272 mW cm-2), and an unprecedented 100 h stability at a high-current-density condition (100 mA cm-2), which is one of the best performances.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a promising cancer treatment strategy. However, mild acidic pH, insufficient H2O2 content, and overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) severely impair CDT efficiency. In this study, a novel therapeutic nanosystem (Cu/ZIF-8/Vc-Ca/HA) was constructed for H2O2 self-supply and GSH depletion co-enhanced CDT. Typically, calcium ascorbate (Vc-Ca) loaded on the surface of Cu2+-doped ZIF-8 (Cu/ZIF-8) was designed as an original source for H2O2 generation, and a hyaluronic acid (HA) shell was subsequently coated to act as a tumor-targeted "guide" and protective layer. Along with the HA shell disintegrated in the TME, exposed Cu/ZIF-8/Vc-Ca dissociated in the tumor acidic microenvironment, thus triggering the release of Vc-Ca and Cu2+. Vc-Ca selectively produced H2O2 in tumor cells, which provided abundant H2O2 for boosting Fenton-like reactions. Meanwhile, the released Cu2+ could get converted into Cu+ by consuming excess intracellular GSH, which could reduce the tumor antioxidant capability of the nanosystem. Moreover, byproduct Cu+ reacted with abundant H2O2 by a highly efficient Fenton-like reaction to generate toxic ˙OH. Biological assays indicated that the Cu/ZIF-8/HA@Vc-Ca nanosystem showed significant anticancer activity by enhancing the CDT process.

Abstract
Current electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are either expensive (such as IrO2, RuO2) or/and exhibit high overpotential as well as sluggish kinetics. This article reports mesoporous earth-abundant iron (Fe)-nitrogen (N) doped carbon electrocatalysts with iron clusters and closely surrounding Fe-N4 active sites. Unique to this work is that the mechanically stable mesoporous carbon-matrix structure (79 nm in pore size) with well-dispersed nitrogen-coordinated Fe single atom-cluster is synthesized via rapid thermal annealing (RTA) within only minutes using a self-assembled bottlebrush block copolymer (BBCP) melamine-formaldehyde resin composite template. The resulting porous structure and domain size can be tuned with the degree of polymerization of the BBCP backbone, which increases the electrochemically active surface area and improves electron transfer and mass transport for an effective OER process. The optimized electrocatalyst shows a required potential of 1.48 V (versus RHE) to obtain the current density of 10 mA/cm2 in 1 M KOH aqueous electrolyte and a small Tafel slope of 55 mV/decade at a given overpotential of 250 mV, which is significantly lower than recently reported earth-abundant electrocatalysts. Importantly, the Fe single-atom nitrogen coordination environment facilitates the surface reconstruction into a highly active oxyhydroxide under OER conditions, as revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and in situ Raman spectroscopy, while the atomic clusters boost the single atoms reactive sites to prevent demetalation during the OER process. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations support that the iron nitrogen environment and reconstructed oxyhydroxides are electrocatalytically active sites as the kinetics barrier is largely reduced. This work has opened a new avenue for simple, rapid synthesis of inexpensive, earth-abundant, tailorable, mechanically stable, mesoporous carbon-coordinated single-atom electrocatalysts that can be used for renewable energy production.

Abstract
Nanozymes mimic enzymes and that includes their selectivity. To achieve selectivity, significant inspiration for nanoparticle design can come from the geometric and molecular features that make enzymes selective catalysts. The two central features enzymes use are control over the arrangement of atoms in the active site and the placing of the active site down a nanoconfined substrate channel. The implementation of enzyme-inspired features has already been shown to both improve activity and selectivity of nanoparticles for a variety of catalytic and sensing applications. The tuning and control of active sites on metal nanoparticle surfaces ranges from simply changing the composition of the surface metal to sophisticated approaches such as the immobilization of single atoms on a metal substrate. Molecular frameworks provide a powerful platform for the implementation of isolated and discrete active sites while unique diffusional environments further improve selectivity. The implementation of nanoconfined substrate channels around these highly controlled active sites offers further ability to control selectivity through altering the solution environment and transport of reactants and products. Implementing these strategies together offers a unique opportunity to improve nanozyme selectivity in both sensing and catalysis.

Abstract
The development of highly active and acid-stable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great significance for water electrolysis technology. Herein, a highly efficient molybdenum-doped mesoporous ruthenium dioxide sphere (Mo-RuO2 ) catalyst is fabricated by a facile impregnation and post-calcination method using mesoporous carbon spheres to template the mesostructure. The optimal Mo0.15 -RuO2 catalyst with Mo doping amount of 15 mol.% exhibits a significantly low overpotential of 147 mV at 10 mA cm-2 , a small Tafel slope of 38 mV decade-1 , and enhanced electrochemical stability in acidic electrolyte, far superior to the commercial RuO2 catalyst. The experimental results and theoretical analysis reveal that the remarkable electrocatalytic performance can be attributed to the large surface area of the mesoporous spherical structure, the structural robustness of the interconnected mesoporous framework, and the change in the electronic structure of Ru active sites induced by Mo doping. These excellent advantages make Mo-doped mesoporous RuO2 spheres a promising catalyst for highly efficient electrocatalytic OER in acidic media.

Abstract
Precision nanoengineering of porous two-dimensional structures has emerged as a promising avenue for finely tuning catalytic reactions. However, understanding the pore-structure-dependent catalytic performance remains challenging, given the lack of comprehensive guidelines, appropriate material models, and precise synthesis strategies. Here, we propose the optimization of two-dimensional carbon materials through the utilization of mesopores with 5-10 nm diameter to facilitate fluid acceleration, guided by finite element simulations. As proof of concept, the optimized mesoporous carbon nanosheet sample exhibited exceptional electrocatalytic performance, demonstrating high selectivity (>95%) and a notable diffusion-limiting disk current density of -3.1 mA cm-2 for H2O2 production. Impressively, the electrolysis process in the flow cell achieved a production rate of 14.39 mol gcatalyst-1 h-1 to yield a medical-grade disinfectant-worthy H2O2 solution. Our pore engineering research focuses on modulating oxygen reduction reaction activity and selectivity by affecting local fluid transport behavior, providing insights into the mesoscale catalytic mechanism.

Abstract
The reserve of lignin in the biological world is the second largest biomass resource after cellulose. Lignin has the characteristics of wide sources, low cost, and rich active components. Due to environmental pollution and energy scarcity, lignin is often used as a substitute good for petrochemical products. Lignin-based functional materials can be prepared by chemical modification or compounding, which are widely used in the fields of energy storage, chemical industry, and medicine. Among them, lignin-based carbon materials have the features of stable chemical properties, large pH application range, ideal electrical conductivity, developed pore size, and high specific surface area, which have great application prospects as supercapacitor materials. This paper mainly introduces the structural properties of lignin, the methods, and mechanisms of carbonization, pore-making, and pore-expansion, as well as the research progress of lignin-based carbon materials for supercapacitors, while looking forward to the future research direction of lignin carbon materials.

Abstract
The nanoreactor holds great promise as it emulates the natural processes of living organisms to facilitate chemical reactions, offering immense potential in catalytic energy conversion owing to its unique structural functionality. Here, we propose the utilization of precisely engineered carbon spheres as building blocks, integrating micromechanics and controllable synthesis to explore their catalytic functionalities in two-electron oxygen reduction reactions. After conducting rigorous experiments and simulations, we present compelling evidence for the enhanced mass transfer and microenvironment modulation effects offered by these mesoporous hollow carbon spheres, particularly when possessing a suitably sized hollow architecture. Impressively, the pivotal achievement lies in the successful screening of a potent, selective, and durable two-electron oxygen reduction reaction catalyst for the direct synthesis of medical-grade hydrogen peroxide disinfectant. Serving as an exemplary demonstration of nanoreactor engineering in catalyst screening, this work highlights the immense potential of various well-designed carbon-based nanoreactors in extensive applications.

Abstract
Hierarchically porous carbons with tailor-made properties are essential for applications wherein rich active sites and fast mass transfer are required. Herein, a rapid aerosol-confined salt/surfactant templating approach is proposed for synthesizing hierarchically porous carbon microspheres (HPCMs) with a maze-like structure and large mesopore tunnels for high-performance tri-phase catalytic ozonation. The confined assembly in drying microdroplets is crucial for coherent salt (NaCl) and surfactant (F127) dual templating without macroscopic phase separation. The HPCMs possess tunable sizes, a maze-like structure with highly open macropores (0.3-30 µm) templated from NaCl crystal arrays, large intrawall mesopore tunnels (10-45 nm) templated from F127, and rich micropores (surface area >1000 m2 g-1 ) and oxygen heteroatoms originated from NaCl-confined carbonization of phenolic resin. The structure formation mechanism of the HPCMs and several influencing factors on properties are elaborated. The HPCMs exhibit superior performance in gas-liquid-solid tri-phase catalytic ozonation for oxalate degradation, owing to their hierarchical pore structure for fast mass transfer and rich defects and oxygen-containing groups (especially carbonyl) for efficient O3 activation. The reactive oxygen species responsible for oxalate degradation and the influences of several structure parameters on performance are discussed. This work may provide a platform for producing hierarchically porous materials for various applications.

Abstract
It is challenging yet promising to design highly accessible N-doped carbon skeletons to fully expose the active sites inside single-atom catalysts. Herein, mesoporous N-doped carbon hollow spheres with regulatable through-pore size can be formulated by a simple sequential synthesis procedure, in which the condensed SiO2 is acted as removable dual-templates to produce both hollow interiors and through-pores, meanwhile, the co-condensed polydopamine shell is served as N-doped carbon precursor. After that, Fe─N─C hollow spheres (HSs) with highly accessible active sites can be obtained after rationally implanting Fe single-atoms. Microstructural analysis and X-ray absorption fine structure analysis reveal that high-density Fe─N4 active sites together with tiny Fe clusters are uniformly distributed on the mesoporous carbon skeleton with abundant through-pores. Benefitted from the highly accessible Fe─N4 active sites arising from the unique through-pore architecture, the Fe─N─C HSs demonstrate excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance in alkaline media with a half-wave potential up to 0.90 V versus RHE and remarkable stability, both exceeding the commercial Pt/C. When employing Fe─N─C HSs as the air-cathode catalysts, the assembled Zn-air batteries deliver a high peak power density of 204 mW cm-2 and stable discharging voltage plateau over 140 h.

Abstract
Patulin (PAT) is a mycotoxin known to globally contaminate fruits. The economic losses and health hazards caused by PAT desires a safe and efficient strategy for detoxifying PAT. Here, a magnetic core-shell hierarchical mesoporous metal-organic framework (Fe3O4@HMUiO-66-NH2) was synthesized via a salt-assisted nanoemulsion guided assembly method. This mesoporous structure (centered at 4.25 nm) allowed porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) to infiltrate into the MOF shell at an immobilized amount of 255 mg/g, providing protection for PPL and enabling rapid separation and recovery. Compared with free PPL, PPL/Fe3O4@HMUiO-66-NH2 at 70 °C possessed 4.7 folds improved thermal stability in terms of half-life. The detoxification rates of immobilized enzyme for PAT in neutral water, acidic water, and apple juice were 99.6%, 60.9%, and 52.6%, respectively. Moreover, the so designed PPL/Fe3O4@HMUiO-66-NH2 showed extraordinary storage stability, reusability, and biocompatibility. Crucially, the quality of apple juice did not change significantly after PPL/Fe3O4@HMUiO-66-NH2 treatment, which facilitated its application in apple juice. The magnetic core-shell mesoporous structure along with the revealed mechanism of immobilized enzyme detoxification of PAT provide tremendous opportunity for designing a safe and efficient PAT detoxification method.

Synthesis of multi-cavity mesoporous carbon nanospheres through solvent-induced self-assembly: Anode material for sodium-ion batteries with long-term cycle stability. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 654:1447-1457. [PMID: 37922630 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.10.135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
Mesoporous carbon nanospheres (MCSs) are extensively employed in energy storage applications due to their ordered pore size, large specific surface area (SSA), and abundant active sites, resulting in excellent electrochemical performance for sodium storage. However, challenges persist in achieving precise structural control and stable synthesis reactions for these MCSs. Additionally, employing MCSs with a larger SSA in sodium storage applications can lead to increased side reactions and potential structural instability. To address these issues, we propose a solvent-induced self-assembly method for obtaining high nitrogen-containing multi-cavity MCSs with reduced SSA. The morphology and SSA of the nanospheres can be precisely adjusted by regulating the reaction time. Introducing an amine-phenol bridging structure into the polymer system significantly bolsters the structural and morphological stability of the mesoporous materials. The performance of these novel nanospheres in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is remarkable, exhibiting excellent sodium storage capability and exceptional ultra-long cycle stability. At a rate of 0.1 A g-1, the nanospheres achieved a high reversible capacity of 252 mAh g-1, and even after 20,000 cycles at 5 A g-1, a specific capacity of 136 mAh g-1 was retained. In summary, our study presents a novel approach for synthesizing mesoporous carbon materials and offers valuable insights for sodium storage research, opening new possibilities for enhancing energy storage applications.

Abstract
The selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes is widely applied in the chemical industry; nevertheless, achieving highly selective hydrogenation with high catalytic activity is considerably challenging. Herein, ultrafine PdCu bimetallic nanoparticles encapsulated by high-surface-area mesoporous α-Al2O3 were prepared by high-temperature calcination-reduction using a porous organic framework (POF) as the template. As-obtained PdCu@α-Al2O3 exhibited a high selectivity of 95% for the semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene as a probe reaction under mild reaction conditions. The separation of continuous Pd atoms and modification of the Pd electronic state by Cu atoms suppressed β-hydride formation and alkene adsorption, contributing to high selectivity for the catalytic hydrogenation of alkynes. The catalytic activity was maintained after 7 cycles due to the strong interaction between the PdCu bimetallic nanoparticles and α-Al2O3 as well as the encapsulation effect of mesoporous α-Al2O3. Thus, the current work provides a facile strategy for fabricating high-surface-area mesoporous α-Al2O3-supported catalysts for industrial catalysis applications.

Abstract
ConspectusMesoporous inorganic materials (MIMs) directed by block copolymers (BCPs) have attracted tremendous attention due to their high surface area, large pore volume, and tunable pore size. The structural hierarchy of inorganic materials with designed meso- and macrostructures combines the benefits of mesoporosity and tailored macrostructures in which macropores have increased ion/mass transfer and large capacity to carry guest material and have a macroscale particle morphology that permits close packing and a low surface energy. Existing methods for hierarchically structured MIMs require complicated multistep procedures including preparation of sacrificial macrotemplates (e.g., foams and colloidal spheres). Despite considerable efforts to control the macrostructures of mesoporous materials, major challenges remain in the formation of a structural hierarchy with ordered mesoporosity.In polymer science, spinodal decomposition (SD) is a physical phenomenon that spontaneously produces a wide variety of macroscale heterostructures from interconnected networks to isolated droplets. Exploitation of SD is a promising method to achieve precise control of the macrostructure (e.g., macropore, particle morphology) and mesostructure (e.g., pore size and structure, composition) of inorganic materials. However, this approach for tailoring the structural hierarchy of MIMs is unexplored due to the lack of effective systems that can control the complex thermodynamic interactions of inorganic precursor/polymer blends and the phase-separation kinetics.In this Account, we present our recent research progress on the development of synthesis systems that combine unique SD behaviors and BCP self-assembly in polymer blends. To generate macropores in MIMs, we have exploited interconnected macrostructures of SD induced by designed quench conditions of multicomponent blends containing BCP. These strategies enable control of the size of the macropores of the nanostructures independently and can be extended to various compositions (e.g., carbon, SiO2, TiO2, WO3, TiNb2O7, TiN). We also control the macroscopic morphology of the MIMs into spherical particles (e.g., solid and hollow mesoporous spheres) by using SD induced by increasing the mixing entropy penalty of polymer blends that consist BCP, homopolymer(s), and inorganic precursors. Furthermore, interfacial tension between polymers determines the macroscopic morphology of MIMs, from isotropic to anisotropic mesoporous particles (e.g., oblate, bowl, 2D nanosheet). The interfacial states of the homopolymer determine the pore orientation and particle morphology of BCP-directed MIMs.We also highlight the application of the hierarchically structured MIMs in energy storage devices. Generated macropores facilitate ion/mass transfer in lithium-ion batteries and stable accommodation of a large amount of sulfur in lithium-sulfur batteries. Designed morphologies of MIMs are beneficial to achieve high packing density as electrode materials in potassium-ion batteries and thereby achieve high volumetric capacities.Recent advances in SD-driven synthesis for the structural hierarchy of MIMs will inspire how polymer science can be used as a platform for preparing the designed inorganic materials. Additionally, broadening the polymer and composition repertoire will guide in novel frontiers in the design and applications of MIMs in various fields.

Abstract
In the energy conversion context, the design and synthesis of high-performance metal-free carbon nanomaterials with topological defects for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are essential. Herein, we first report a template-assisted strategy to fabricate carbon defect electrocatalysts with rich vacancy coupling pentagons (VP) as active sites in two-dimensional (2D) carbon nanosheets (VP/CNs). Experimental characterizations verify the presence of abundant VP active sites in the VP/CNs electrocatalyst, and the ORR activity is linearly related to the amounts of VP active sites. In situ spectroscopic results identify that the VP/CNs can catalyze direct O-O bond cleavage, bypassing the formation of traditional *OOH intermediates, resulting in the fast kinetics of ORR via a dissociative pathway. The as-prepared VP/CNs show outstanding intrinsic activity for alkaline ORR (half-wave potential of 0.86 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode) with an almost 99% efficiency for four-electron selectivity, outperforming that using the benchmark of Pt/C. Density functional theory calculations further reveal that the cooperative effect between carbon vacancy and adjacent pentagons significantly increases the charge transfer and achieves a lower ORR reaction energy barrier compared with the counterpart of adjacent pentagons or single pentagon. The well-designed carbon defects pave a new avenue for the rational design of metal-free electrocatalysts with high efficiency.

Abstract
Porous carbon particles (PCPs) present considerable potential for applications across a wide range of fields, particularly within the realms of energy and catalysis. The control of their overall morphologies and pore structures has remained a big challenge. Here, using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as the precursor and polymer cubosomes (PCs) as the template, nitrogen-doped carbon cubosomes (SP-NCs) with a single primitive bicontinuous architecture are prepared. SP-NCs inherit the high porosity of MOFs, generating a high specific surface area of 825 m2 g-1 and uniformly distributed active sites with a 5.9 at % nitrogen content. Thanks to the presence of three-dimensional continuous mesochannels that enable much higher accessibility of internal active sites over those of their porous counterparts' lack of continuous channels, SP-NCs exhibit superior electrocatalytic performance for oxygen reduction reaction with a half-wave potential of 0.87 V, situating them in the leading level of the reported carbon electrocatalysts. Serving as an air cathode catalyst of the Zn-air battery, SP-NCs exhibit excellent performance, outperforming the commercial Pt/C catalysts.

Abstract
Equipped with hierarchical pores and three-dimensional (3D) center-radial channels, dendritic mesoporous nanoparticles (DMNs) make their pore volumes extremely large, specific surface areas super-high, internal spaces especially accessible, and so on. Other entities (like organic moieties or nanoparticles) can be modified onto the interfaces or skeletons of DMNs, accomplishing their functionalization for desirable applications. This comprehensive review emphasizes on the design and construction of DMNs-based systems which serve as sensors, adsorbents and catalysts for the detection, adsorption, and degradation of hazardous substances, mainly including the construction procedures of brand-new DMNs-based materials and the involved hazardous substances (like industrial chemicals, chemical dyes, heavy metal ions, medicines, pesticides, and harmful gases). The sensitive, adsorptive, or catalytic performances of various DMNs have been compared; correspondingly, the reaction mechanisms have been revealed strictly. It is honestly anticipated that the profound discussion could offer scientists certain enlightenment to design novel DMNs-based systems towards the detection, adsorption, and degradation of hazardous substances, respectively or comprehensively.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an attractive and alternative route for the on-site production of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). The electrochemical synthesis of H2 O2 in neutral electrolyte is in early studying stage and promising in ocean-energy application. Herein, N-doped carbon materials (N-Cx ) with different N types are prepared through the pyrolysis of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks. The N-Cx catalysts, especially N-C800 , exhibit an attracting 2e- ORR catalytic activity, corresponding to a high H2 O2 selectivity (≈95%) and preferable stability in 0.5 m NaCl solution. Additionally, the N-C800 possesses an attractive H2 O2 production amount up to 631.2 mmol g-1 h-1 and high Faraday efficiency (79.8%) in H-type cell. The remarkable 2e- ORR electrocatalytic performance of N-Cx catalysts is associated with the N species and N content in the materials. Density functional theory calculations suggest carbon atoms adjacent to graphitic N are the main catalytic sites and exhibit a smaller activation energy, which are more responsible than those in pyridinic N and pyrrolic N doped carbon materials. Furthermore, the N-C800 catalyst demonstrates an effective antibacterial performance for marine bacteria in simulated seawater. This work provides a new insight for electro-generation of H2 O2 in neutral electrolyte and triggers a great promise in ocean-energy application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease in women of childbearing age. Commonly used treatment methods, such as endocrine and surgical therapies, display poor therapeutic effects with a high relapse probability. Thus, novel treatments for endometriosis are required. METHODS In our study, polydopamine (PDA), letrozole (LTZ), and agarose (AG) hydrogels were combined to construct an injectable hydrogel with near-infrared controlled drug delivery named LTZ-PDA@AG hydrogel for endometriosis treatment. The release of letrozole can be accurately controlled by the near-infrared light intensity, exposure duration, polydopamine concentration, and hydrogel composition. Meanwhile, we isolated endometrial stromal cells from endometrium in patients with endometriosis, and constructed the rats' model of endometriosis to verify the biological effects of LTZ-PDA@AG hydrogel. RESULTS Owing to the sufficiently deep penetration of near-infrared light, the LTZ-PDA@AG hydrogel displayed a high temperature increase for efficient photothermal therapy. In addition, high local temperatures can further enhance the diffusion and penetration of letrozole, thereby achieving excellent therapeutic effect in vivo. Importantly, the in vivo and vitro test demonstrated the capacity of the nanocomposite hydrogel for endocrine-photothermal synergistic therapy and the biocompatibility. CONCLUSION Our work proposes a novel concept for precision endometriosis therapy by photothermal-enhanced endocrine therapy for endometriosis, which is proposed for the first time for the treatment of endometriosis and demonstrates excellent potential for further clinical translation. TRIAL REGISTRATION Not applicable. LTZ-PDA@AG hydrogels were synthesized and displayed a high temperature increase for efficient photothermal therapy under NIR. The present study shows the capacity of the nanocomposite hydrogel for endocrine-photothermal synergistic therapy and the biocompatibility.

Abstract
While the nanobio interaction is crucial in determining nanoparticles' in vivo fate, a previous work on investigating nanoparticles' interaction with biological barriers is mainly carried out in a static state. Nanoparticles' fluid dynamics that share non-negligible impacts on their frequency of encountering biological hosts, however, is seldom given attention. Herein, inspired by badmintons' unique aerodynamics, badminton architecture Fe3O4&mPDA (Fe3O4 = magnetite nanoparticle and mPDA = mesoporous polydopamine) Janus nanoparticles have successfully been synthesized based on a steric-induced anisotropic assembly strategy. Due to the "head" Fe3O4 having much larger density than the mPDA "cone", it shows an asymmetric mass distribution, analogous to real badminton. Computational simulations show that nanobadmintons have a stable fluid posture of mPDA cone facing forward, which is opposite to that for the real badminton. The force analysis demonstrates that the badminton-like morphology and mass distribution endow the nanoparticles with a balanced motion around this posture, making its movement in fluid stable. Compared to conventional spherical Fe3O4@mPDA nanoparticles, the Janus nanoparticles with an asymmetric mass distribution have straighter blood flow trails and ∼50% reduced blood vessel wall encountering frequency, thus providing doubled blood half-life and ∼15% lower organ uptakes. This work provides novel methodology for the fabrication of unique nanomaterials, and the correlations between nanoparticle architectures, biofluid dynamics, organ uptake, and blood circulation time are successfully established, providing essential guidance for designing future nanocarriers.

Abstract
Heterogeneous photocatalysts have attracted extensive attention in photo-induced electron transfer-reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization due to their remarkable advantages such as easy preparation, tunable photoelectric properties, and recyclability. In this study, zinc (II) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin (ZnTAPP)-based poly-porphyrin nanoparticles (PTAPP-Zn) are constructed by an emulsion-directed approach. It is investigated as a heterogeneous photocatalyst for PET-RAFT polymerization of various methacrylate monomers under visible light exposure, and the reactions show refined polymerization control with high monomer conversions. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the PTAPP-Zn nanoparticles with the larger pore size enhance photocatalytic activity in PET-RAFT polymerization. In addition, the capabilities of oxygen tolerance and temporal control are demonstrated and PTAPP-Zn particles can be easily recycled and reused without an obvious decrease in catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Searching for an effective pore-enlarging agent to form mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) with a creative surface frame is of great importance. Herein, several polymers were attempted to be pore-enlarging agents to form seven types of worm mesoporous silica nanoparticles (W-MSN) and analgesic indometacin that exerted functions on inflammatory diseases (breast disease, arthrophlogosis, etc.) was studied to enhance its delivery efficiency. The porous morphology differences between MSN and W-MSN were that MSN had independent mesopores while the enlarged mesopores of W-MSN were interrelated and shaped as a worm. Among all these W-MSN, WG-MSN templated by hydroxypropyl cellulose acetate succinate HG with the highest drug-loading capacity (24.78%), shortest loading time (10 h), drug dissolution improvement of almost 4 times compared to that of the raw drug, and highest bioavailability (5.48 times higher than that of raw drug and 1.52 times higher than that of MSN) was an outstanding drug carrier and can shoulder the mission to deliver drugs with high efficiency.

Abstract
Coronavirus is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has shown rapid proliferation and scarcity of treatments with proven effectiveness. In this way, we simulated the hospitalization of carbon nanospheres, with external active sites of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (M-Pro, S-Gly and E-Pro), which can be adsorbed or inactivated when interacting with the nanospheres. The computational procedures performed in this work were developed with the SwissDock server for molecular docking and the GROMACS software for molecular dynamics, making it possible to extract relevant data on affinity energy, distance between molecules, free Gibbs energy and mean square deviation of atomic positions, surface area accessible to solvents. Molecular docking indicates that all ligands have an affinity for the receptor's active sites. The nanospheres interact favorably with all proteins, showing promising results, especially C60, which presented the best affinity energy and RMSD values for all protein macromolecules investigated. The C60 with E-Pro exhibited the highest affinity energy of -9.361 kcal/mol, demonstrating stability in both molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. Our RMSD calculations indicated that the nanospheres remained predominantly stable, fluctuating within a range of 2 to 3 Å. Additionally, the analysis of other structures yielded promising results that hold potential for application in other proteases.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Heteroatom-doped nanoporous carbon materials with unique hierarchical structures have been shown to be promising supports and catalysts for energy conversion; however, hard-template methods are limited by their inflexibility and time-consuming process. Soft-template methods have been suggested as an alternative, but they are limited by their picky requirements for stable reactions and the few known precursors for small-batch synthesis. In this study, a gram-scale soft-template-based silica-assisted method was investigated for producing nitrogen-doped hollow nanoporous carbon spheres (N-HNCS). Nitrogen doping is accomplished during preparation with enhanced electrocatalytic activity without complicating the methodology. To investigate the effect of the unique structural characteristics of N-HNCS (specific surface area: 1250 m2 g-1; pore volume: 1.2 cm3 g-1), cobalt was introduced as an active center for the oxygen reduction reaction. Finely tuned reaction conditions resulted in well-dispersed cobalt particles with minimal agglomeration. This sheds light on the advancement of new experimental procedures for developing more active and promising non-noble catalysts in large and stable batches.

Abstract
With an increasing proportion of drug-resistant bacteria, photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising alternative to antibiotic treatment for infected diabetic skin ulcers. However, the inevitable thermal damage to the tissues restricts its clinical practice. Carbon monoxide (CO), as a bioactive gas molecule, can selectively inhibit bacterial growth and promote tissue regeneration, which may be coordinated with PTT for drug-resistant bacteria killing and tissue protection. Herein, a CO-mediated PTT agent (CO@mPDA) was engineered by loading manganese carbonyl groups into mesoporous polydopamine (mPDA) nanoparticles via coordination interactions between the metal center and a catechol group. Compared to the traditional PTT, the CO-mediated PTT increases the inhibition ratio of the drug-resistant bacteria both in vitro and in diabetic wound beds by selectively inhibiting the co-chaperone of the heat shock protein 90 kDa (Hsp90), and lowers the heat resistance of the bacteria rather than the mammalian tissues. Meanwhile, the tissue-protective proteins, such as Hsp90 and vimentin (Vim), are upregulated via the WNT and PI3K-Akt pathways to reduce thermal injury, especially with a laser with a high-power density. The CO-mediated PTT unified the bacterial killing with tissue protection, which offers a promising concept to improve PTT efficiency and minimize the side-effects of PTT when treating infected skin wounds.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted much attention due to their excellent catalytic activity, but the improvement of atomic loading which means that weight fraction (wt%) of metal atom was still facing great challenges. In this work, iron and molybdenum co-doped dual single-atom catalysts (Fe/Mo DSACs) was prepared for the first time by using the soft template sacrifice strategy, which improved significantly the atomic load and exhibited both the oxidase-like (OXD) activity and the dominant peroxidase-like (POD) activity. Further experiments reveal that Fe/Mo DSACs can not only catalyze O2 to generate O2•- and 1O2, but also catalyze H2O2 to generate a large number of •OH, which caused 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to be oxidized to oxTMB, accompanied by the color changing from colorless to blue. The steady-state kinetic test showed that Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) values and the maximum initial velocity values (Vmax) of the POD activity of Fe/Mo DSACs were 0.0018 mM and 12.6 × 10-8 M s-1, respectively. The corresponding catalytic efficiency was tens of times higher than Fe SACs and Mo SACs, which proves that the synergistic effect between Fe and Mo has significantly improved the catalytic ability. Based on the excellent POD activity of Fe/Mo DSACs, a colorimetric sensing platform combined with TMB was proposed to realize the sensitive detection of H2O2 and uric acid (UA) in a wide range, with limits of detection as low as 0.13 and 0.18 μM, respectively. Finally, accurate and reliable results were obtained in the detection of H2O2 in cells, and of UA in human serum and urine.

Abstract
Highly porous sensitive materials with well-defined structures and morphologies are extremely desirable for developing high-performance chemiresistive gas sensors. Herein, inspired by the classical alkaloid precipitant reaction, a robust and reliable active mesoporous nitrogen polymer sphere-directed synthesis method was demonstrated for the controllable construction of heteroatom-doped mesoporous tungsten oxide spheres. In the typical synthesis, P-doped mesoporous WO3 monodisperse spheres with radially oriented channels (P-mWO3-R) were obtained with a diameter of ∼180 nm, high specific surface area, and crystalline skeleton. The in situ-introduced P atoms could effectively adjust the coordination environment of W atoms (Wδ+-Ov), giving rise to dramatically enhanced active surface-adsorbed oxygen species and unusual metastable ε-WO3 crystallites. The P-mWO3-R spheres were applied for the sensing of 3-hydroxy-2-butanone (3H2B), a biomarker of foodborne pathogenic bacteria Listeria monocytogenes (LM). The sensor exhibited high sensitivity (Ra/Rg = 29 to 3 ppm), fast response dynamics (26/7 s), outstanding selectivity, and good long-term stability. Furthermore, the device was integrated into a wireless sensing module to realize remote real-time and precise detection of LM in practical applications, making it possible to evaluate food quality using gas sensors conveniently.
