Abstract
Plasmonic hot-electron-based photodetectors (HEB-PDs) have received widespread attention for their ability to realize effective carrier collection under sub-bandgap illumination. However, due to the low hot electron emission probability, most of the existing HEB-PDs exhibit poor responsivity, which significantly restricts their practical applications. Here, by employing the binary-pore anodic alumina oxide template technique, we proposed a compact plasmonic bound state in continuum metasurface-semiconductor-metal-based (BIC M-S-M) HEB-PD. The symmetry-protected BIC can manipulate a strong gap surface plasmon in the stacked M-S-M structure, which effectively enhances light-matter interactions and improves the photoresponse of the integrated device. Notably, the optimal M-S-M HEB-PD with near-unit absorption (∼90%) around 800 nm delivers a responsivity of 5.18 A/W and an IPCE of 824.23% under 780 nm normal incidence (1 V external bias). Moreover, the ultrathin feature of BIC M-S-M (∼150 nm) on the flexible substrate demonstrates excellent stability under a wide range of illumination angles from -40° to 40° and at the curvature surface from 0.05 to 0.13 mm-1. The proposed plasmonic BIC strategy is very promising for many other hot-electron-related fields, such as photocatalysis, biosensing, imaging, and so on.

Abstract
Hot electrons are crucial for unraveling the intrinsic relationship between chemical reactions and charge transfer in heterogeneous catalysis. Significant research focused on real-time detection of reaction-driven hot electron flow (chemicurrent) to elucidate the energy conversion mechanisms, but it remains elusive because carrier generation contributes to only part of the entire process. Here, a theoretical model for quantifying the chemicurrent yield is presented by clarifying the contributions of hot carrier losses from the internal emission and multiple reflections. The experimental chemicurrent yield verifies our model with a reliable mean free path of hot electrons, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive consideration of the transport process besides hot electron generation. Moreover, Pt nanoparticles (NPs)-decorated Au/TiO2 is examined, showing the role of NPs-induced carrier losses in the performance of catalytic nanodiodes. These findings are expected to contribute to understanding the hot electron detection efficiency and designing nanodiodes with enhanced hot carrier flow and catalytic activity.

Abstract
The synergistic catalytic performances of bimetallic catalysts are often attributed to the reaction mechanism associated with the alloying process of the catalytic metals. Chemically induced hot electron flux is strongly correlated with catalytic activity, and the interference between two metals at the atomic level can have a huge impact on the hot electron generation on the bimetallic catalysts. In this study, we investigate the correlation between catalytic synergy and hot electron chemistry driven by the electron coupling effect using a model system of Au-Pd bimetallic nanoparticles. We show that the bimetallic nanocatalysts exhibit enhanced catalytic activity under the hydrogen oxidation reaction compared with that of monometallic Pd nanocatalysts. Analysis of the hot electron flux generated in each system revealed the formation of Au/PdOx interfaces, resulting in high reactivity on the bimetallic catalyst. In further experiments with engineering the Au@Pd core-shell structures, we reveal that the hot electron flux, when the topmost surface Pd atoms were less affected by inner Au, due to the concrete shell, was smaller than the alloyed one. The alloyed bimetallic catalyst forming the metal-oxide interfaces has a more direct effect on the hot electron chemistry, as well as on the catalytic reactivity. The great significance of this study is in the confirmation that the change in the hot electron formation rate with the metal-oxide interfaces can be observed by shell engineering of nanocatalysts.

Abstract
Hot-electron photodetection is attracting increasing interests. Based on internal photoemission mechanism, hot-electron photodetectors (HE PDs) convert incident photon energy into measurable photocurrent. To obtain polarity-switchable photocurrent, one often applies electric bias to reverse the hot-electron flow. However, the employment of bias reduces the device flexibility and increasing the bias voltage degrades the detectivity of the device. Herein, we design a planar HE PD with the polarity-switchable photocurrent controlled by the working wavelength. Optical simulations show that the device exhibits two absorption peaks due to the resonances of two Tamm plasmons (TPs). Electrical calculations predict two corresponding TP-assisted responsivity peaks, but with opposite photocurrent polarities, which are determined by the hot-electron flows with opposite directions. We find that the hot-electron flows are closely related with the population differences of TP-induced hot electrons in two electrodes. We further demonstrate that the photocurrent polarity of the HE PD can be switched by altering working wavelength from one TP wavelength to the other. We believe that this approach paves a route to achieve flexible hot-electron photodetection for extensive applications.

Abstract
Excitation of hot electrons by energy dissipation under exothermic chemical reactions on metal catalyst surfaces occurs at both solid-gas and solid-liquid interfaces. Despite extensive studies, a comparative operando study directly comparing electronic excitation by electronically nonadiabatic interactions at solid-gas and solid-liquid interfaces has not been reported. Herein, on the basis of our in situ techniques for monitoring energy dissipation as a chemicurrent using a Pt/n-Si nanodiode sensor, we observed the generation of hot electrons in both gas and liquid phases during H2O2 decomposition. As a result of comparing the current signal and oxygen evolution rate in the two phases, surprisingly, the efficiency of reaction-induced excitation of hot electrons increased by ∼100 times at the solid-liquid interface compared to the solid-gas interface. The boost of hot electron excitation in the liquid phase is due to the presence of an ionic layer lowering the potential barrier at the junction for transferring hot electrons.

Abstract
The development of a convenient and universal strategy for the synthesis of inorganic-organic hybrid nanomaterials with phenolic coating on the surface is of special significance for the preparation of electrocatalysts. In this work, we report an environmentally friendly, practical, and convenient method for one-step reduction and generation of organically capped nanocatalysts using natural polyphenol tannic acid (TA) as reducing agents and coating agents. TA coated metal (Pd, Ag and Au) nanoparticles are prepared by this strategy, among which TA coated Pd nanoparticles (PdTA NPs) show excellent oxygen reduction reaction activity and stability under alkaline conditions. Interestingly, the TA in the outer layer makes PdTA NPs methanol resistant, and TA acts as molecular armor against CO poisoning. We propose an efficient interfacial coordination coating strategy, which opens up new way to regulate the interface engineering of electrocatalysts reasonably and has broad application prospects.

Abstract
RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification regulates the cell stress response and homeostasis, but whether titanium dioxide nanoparticle (nTiO2)-induced acute pulmonary injury is associated with the m6A epitranscriptome and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the potential association between m6A modification and the bioeffects of several engineered nanoparticles (nTiO2, nAg, nZnO, nFe2O3, and nCuO) were verified thorough in vitro experiments. nFe2O3, nZnO, and nTiO2 exposure significantly increased the global m6A level in A549 cells. Our study further revealed that nTiO2 can induce m6A-mediated acute pulmonary injury. Mechanistically, nTiO2 exposure promoted methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3)-mediated m6A signal activation and thus mediated the inflammatory response and IL-8 release through the degeneration of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and Mucin5B (MUC5B) mRNAs in a YTH m6A RNA-binding protein 2 (YTHDF2)-dependent manner. Moreover, nTiO2 exposure stabilized METTL3 protein by the lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS)-activated ERK1/2 pathway. The scavenging of ROS with ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) alleviates the ERK1/2 activation, m6A upregulation, and the inflammatory response caused by nTiO2 both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that m6A is a potential intervention target for alleviating the adverse effects of nTiO2-induced acute pulmonary injury in vitro and in vivo, which has far-reaching implications for protecting human health and improving the sustainability of nanotechnology.

Abstract
Understanding the role of energy dissipation and charge transfer under exothermic chemical reactions on metal catalyst surfaces is important for elucidating the fundamental phenomena at solid-gas and solid-liquid interfaces. Recently, many surface chemistry studies have been conducted on the solid-liquid interface, so correlating electronic excitation in the liquid-phase with the reaction mechanism plays a crucial role in heterogeneous catalysis. In this review, we introduce the detection principle of electron transfer at the solid-liquid interface by developing cutting-edge technologies with metal-semiconductor Schottky nanodiodes. The kinetics of hot electron excitation are well correlated with the reaction rates, demonstrating that the operando method for understanding nonadiabatic interactions is helpful in studying the reaction mechanism of surface molecular processes. In addition to the detection of hot electrons excited by a catalytic reaction, we highlight recent results on how the transfer of the hot electrons influences surface chemical and photoelectrochemical reactions.

Abstract
Block copolymer (BCP) nanopatterning has emerged as a versatile nanoscale fabrication tool for semiconductor devices and other applications, because of its ability to organize well-defined, periodic nanostructures with a critical dimension of 5-100 nm. While the most promising application field of BCP nanopatterning has been semiconductor devices, the versatility of BCPs has also led to enormous interest from a broad spectrum of other application areas. In particular, the intrinsically low cost and straightforward processing of BCP nanopatterning have been widely recognized for their large-area parallel formation of dense nanoscale features, which clearly contrasts that of sophisticated processing steps of the typical photolithographic process, including EUV lithography. In this Review, we highlight the recent progress in the field of BCP nanopatterning for various nonsemiconductor applications. Notable examples relying on BCP nanopatterning, including nanocatalysts, sensors, optics, energy devices, membranes, surface modifications and other emerging applications, are summarized. We further discuss the current limitations of BCP nanopatterning and suggest future research directions to open up new potential application fields.
