Abstract
The development and investigation of innovative nanomaterials stand poised to advance technological progress and meet the contemporary demand for efficient, environmentally friendly, and intelligent products. Hollow nanostructures (HNS), characterized by their hollow architecture, exhibit diverse properties such as expansive specific surface area, low density, high drug-carrying capacity, and customizable structures. These elaborated structures, encompass nanospheres, nanoboxes, rings, cubes, and nanowires, have wide-ranging applications in biomedicine, materials chemistry, food industry, and environmental science. Herein, HNS and their cutting-edge synthesis methods, including solvothermal methods, liquid-interface assembly methods, and the self-templating methods are discussed in-depth. Meanwhile, the potential applications of HNS in food and biomedicine such as food packing, biosensor, and drug delivery over the past three years are summarized, together with a prospective view of future research directions and challenges. This review will offer new insights into designing next generation of hollow nanomaterials for food and biomedicine applications.

Abstract
Copper-based compounds have attracted increasing attention as electrode materials for rechargeable devices, but their poor conductivity and insufficient stability inhibit their further development. Herein, an effective method has been proposed to improve the electrochemical properties of the copper-based electrodes by coating carbon materials and generating unique micro/nanostructures. The prepared Cu2S/Cu7S4/NC with hierarchical hollow structure possesses excellent electrochemical performance, attributing to the composition and structure optimization. The superior charge storage performance has been assessed by theoretical and experimental research. Specifically, the Cu2S/Cu7S4/NC exhibits remarkably higher electrical conductivity and lower adsorption-free energy for O* and OH* than those of Cu2O. Moreover, the Cu2S/Cu7S4/NC delivers a high specific capacitance of 1261.3 F·g-1 at the current density of 1 A·g-1 and also has great rate performance at higher current densities, which are much better than those of the Cu2O nanocubes. In addition, the assembled hybrid supercapacitor using Cu2S/Cu7S4/NC as the anode exhibits great energy density, power density, and cycling stability. This study has proposed a novel and feasible method for the synthesis of high-performance copper-based electrodes and their electrochemical performance regulation, which is of great significance for the advancement of high-quality electrode materials and rechargeable devices.

Abstract
Catalysts with an open hollow structure can enhance the mass transfer capability of the catalyst during the reaction process, thereby further improving the catalytic performance. In this work, uniform and monodisperse flying-squircher-shaped Al-MOFs were synthesized via a solvothermal method. Furthermore, a hollow structure Al2O3-supported metallic Ni catalyst (termed Ni-Al2O3-HFA) was synthesized via the Kirkendall effect for the hydrogenation-alkylation cascade reaction by employing as-synthesized Al-MOFs as a carrier for impregnation of Ni(NO3)2·6H2O through further calcination and reduction. Various characterizations (e.g., XRD, HADDF-STEM, H2-TPR) were conducted to reveal the superior performance of the developed Ni-Al2O3-HFA catalyst compared to Ni/Al2O3-IWI (Al2O3 obtained from calcination of Al-MOFs) in cascade reaction between nitroarenes and alcohols. We hope to use the MOF template method via the Kirkendall effect to prepare hollow structure nanocatalysts, which can provide a guideline for the preparation of other hollow materials.

Abstract
Coupling visible light with Pd-based hybrid plasmonic nanostructures has effectively enhanced formic acid (FA) dehydrogenation at room temperature. Unlike conventional heating to achieve higher product yield, the plasmonic effect supplies a unique surface environment through the local electromagnetic field and hot charge carriers, avoiding unfavorable energy consumption and attenuated selectivity. In this minireview, we summarized the latest advances in plasmon-enhanced FA dehydrogenation, including geometry/size-dependent dehydrogenation activities, and further catalytic enhancement by coupling local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) with Fermi level engineering or alloying effect. Furthermore, some representative cases were taken to interpret the mechanisms of hot charge carriers and the local electromagnetic field on molecular adsorption/activation. Finally, a summary of current limitations and future directions was outlined from the perspectives of mechanism and materials design for the field of plasmon-enhanced FA decomposition.

Abstract
The utilization of hydrogen (H2) as a fuel source is hindered by the limited infrastructure and storage requirements. In contrast, ammonia (NH3) offers a promising solution as a hydrogen carrier due to its high energy density, liquid storage capacity, low cost, and sustainable manufacturing. NH3 has garnered significant attention as a key component in the development of next-generation refueling stations, aligning with the goal of a carbon-free economy. The electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (ENRR) enables the production of NH3 from nitrogen (N2) under ambient conditions. However, the low efficiency of the ENRR is limited by challenges such as the electron-stealing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the breaking of the stable N2 triple bond. To address these limitations and enhance ENRR performance, we prepared Au@Cu2-xSe electrocatalysts with a core@shell structure using a seed-mediated growth method and a facile hot-injection method. The catalytic activity was evaluated using both an aqueous electrolyte of KOH solution and a nonaqueous electrolyte consisting of tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent with lithium perchlorate and ethanol as proton donors. ENRR in both aqueous and nonaqueous electrolytes was facilitated by the synergistic interaction between Au and Cu2-xSe (copper selenide), forming an Ohmic junction between the metal and p-type semiconductor that effectively suppressed the HER. Furthermore, in nonaqueous conditions, the Cu vacancies in the Cu2-xSe layer of Au@Cu2-xSe promoted the formation of lithium nitride (Li3N), leading to improved NH3 production. The synergistic effect of Ohmic junctions and Cu vacancies in Au@Cu2-xSe led to significantly higher ammonia yield and faradaic efficiency (FE) in nonaqueous systems compared to those in aqueous conditions. The maximum NH3 yields were approximately 1.10 and 3.64 μg h-1 cm-2, with the corresponding FE of 2.24 and 67.52% for aqueous and nonaqueous electrolytes, respectively. This study demonstrates an attractive strategy for designing catalysts with increased ENRR activity by effectively engineering vacancies and heterojunctions in Cu-based electrocatalysts in both aqueous and nonaqueous media.
