Abstract
Considerable attention has been by far paid to stabilizing metallic Zn anodes, where side reactions and dendrite formation still remain detrimental to their practical advancement. Electrolyte modification or protected layer design is widely reported; nonetheless, an effective maneuver to synergize both tactics has been rarely explored. Herein, we propose a localized electrolyte optimization via the introduction of a dual-functional biomass modificator over the Zn anode. Instrumental characterization in conjunction with molecular dynamics simulation indicates local solvation structure transformation owing to the limitation of bound water with intermolecular hydrogen bonds, effectively suppressing hydrogen evolutions. Meanwhile, the optimized nucleation throughout the protein membrane allows uniform Zn deposition. Accordingly, the symmetric cell exhibits an elongated lifespan of 3280 h at 1.0 mA cm-2/1.0 mAh cm-2, while the capacity retention of the full cell sustains 91.1% after 2000 cycles at 5.0 A g-1. The localized electrolyte tailoring via protein membrane introduction might offer insights into operational metal anode protection.

Abstract
Li3 VO4 is a promising anode material for use in lithium-ion batteries, however, the conventional synthesis methods for Li3 VO4 anodes involve the separate use of lithium and carbon sources, resulting in inefficient contact and low crystalline quality. Herein, lithium polyacrylate (LiPAA) was utilized as a dual-functional source and an in-situ polymerization followed by a spray-drying method was employed to synthesize Li3 VO4 . LiPAA serves a dual purpose, acting as both a lithium source to improve the crystal process and a carbon source to confine the particle size within a desired volume during high-temperature treatment. Additionally, the in-situ synthesis of a porous carbon decorating skeleton prevents the growth and agglomeration of Li3 VO4 particles and provides abundant ion/electron diffusion channels and contact areas. Based on the synthesis route and the constructed primary-secondary structure, the Li3 VO4 anodes obtained in this study exhibit an impressive capacity of 596.2 mAh g-1 . Moreover, they demonstrate enhanced rate performance over 600 cycles during 10 periods of rate testing, as well as a remarkably long lifespan of 5000 cycles at high currents. The utilization of LiPAA as a dual-functional source represents a broad approach that holds great potential for future research on high-performance electrodes requiring both lithium and carbon sources.

Abstract
The imitation of human visual memory demands the multifunctional integration of light sensors similar to the eyes, and image memory, similar to the brain. Although humans have already implemented electronic devices with visual memory functions, these devices require a combination of various components and logical circuits. However, the combination of visual perception and high-performance information storage capabilities into a single device to achieve visual memory remains challenging. In this study, inspired by the function of human visual memory, a dual-functional perovskite-based photodetector (PD) and memristor are designed to realize visual perception and memory capacities. As a PD, it realizes an ultrahigh self-powered responsivity of 276 mA W-1 , a high detectivity of 4.7 × 1011 Jones (530 nm; light intensities, 2.34 mW cm-2 ), and a high rectification ratio of ≈100 (±2 V). As a memristor, an ultrahigh on/off ratio (≈105 ), an ultralow power consumption of 3 × 10-11 W, a low setting voltage (0.15 V), and a long retention time (>7000 s) are realized. Moreover, the dual-functional device has the capacity to perceive and remember light paths and store data with good cyclic stability. This device exhibits perceptual and cyclic erasable memory functions, which provides new opportunities for mimicking human visual memory in future multifunctional applications.

Abstract
The main obstacles for the commercial application of Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) full batteries are the large volume change during charging/discharging process, the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfide (LiPS), sluggish redox kinetics, and the indisciplinable dendritic Li growth. Especially the overused of metal Li leads to the low utilization of active Li, which seriously drags down the actual energy density of Li-S batteries. Herein, an efficient design of dual-functional CoSe electrocatalyst encapsulated in carbon chain-mail (CoSe@CCM) is employed as the host both for the cathode and anode regulation simultaneously. The carbon chain-mail constituted by carbon encapsulated layer cross-linking with carbon nanofibers protects CoSe from the corrosion of chemical reaction environment, ensuring the high activity of CoSe during the long-term cycles. The Li-S full battery using this carbon chain-mail catalyst with a lower negative/positive electrode capacity ratio (N/P < 2) displays a high areal capacity of 9.68 mAh cm-2 over 150 cycles at a higher sulfur loading of 10.67 mg cm-2 . Additionally, a pouch cell is stable for 80 cycles at a sulfur loading of 77.6 mg, showing the practicality feasibility of this design.

Abstract
The practical application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is greatly hindered by the shuttle effect of dissolved polysulfides in the sulfur cathode and the severe dendritic growth in the lithium anode. Adopting one type of effective host with dual-functions including both inhibiting polysulfide dissolution and regulating Li plating/stripping, is recently an emerging research highlight in Li-S battery. This review focuses on such dual-functional hosts and systematically summarizes the recent research progress and application scenarios. Firstly, this review briefly describes the stubborn issues in Li-S battery operations and the sophisticated counter measurements over the challenges by dual-functional behaviors. Then, the latest advances on dual-functional hosts for both cathode and anode in Li-S full cells are catalogued as species, including metal chalcogenides, metal carbides, metal nitrides, heterostuctures, and the possible mechanisms during the process. Besides, we also outlined the theoretical calculation tools for the dual-functional host based on the first principles. Finally, several sound perspectives are also rationally proposed for fundamental research and practical development as guidelines.

Abstract
Although lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have long been touted as next-generation energy storage devices, the rampant dendrite growth at the anode side and sluggish redox kinetics at the cathode side drastically impede their practical application. Herein, a dual-functional fibrous skeleton implanted with single-atom Co-Nx dispersion is devised as an advanced modificator to realize concurrent regulation of both electrodes. The rational integration of single-atomic Co-Nx sites could convert the fibrous carbon skeleton from lithiophobic to lithiophilic, helping assuage the dendritic formation for the Li anode. Meanwhile, the favorable electrocatalytic activity from the Co-Nx species affording a lightweight feature effectively enables expedited bidirectional conversion kinetics of sulfur electrochemistry, thereby inhibiting the polysulfide shuttle. Moreover, the interconnected porous framework endows the entire skeleton with good mechanical robustness and fast electron/ion transportation. Benefiting from the synergistic effects between atomically dispersed Co-Nx sites and three-dimensional conductive networks, the integrated Li-S full batteries can achieve a reversible areal capacity (>7.0 mAh cm-2) at a sulfur loading of 6.9 mg cm-2. This work might be beneficial to the development of practically viable Li-S batteries harnessing single-atom mediators.

Abstract
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) has been used as a dual-functional material in a hybrid intervention system (ICCP-SS) which integrates the impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) and structural strengthening (SS). The mechanical behavior of CFRP as an anode has been investigated in some solution environments. However, the anodic and mechanical behavior of CFRP bonded to concrete is unclear. This paper focuses on the anodic and mechanical performance of CFRP bonded to the chloride-contaminated concrete by conducting an electrochemical (EC) test. The method of bonding the CFRP to the concrete and the shape of the steel embedded in the concrete were considered. The current densities of 20 mA/m2 and 100 mA/m2 were applied during 120-day and 310-day EC tests. The electrode potentials and driving voltages were recorded, and the bond interfaces of the CFRP were inspected after EC test. The residual tensile strength and failure modes of the CFRP were analyzed after tensile tests. Finally, the long-term performance of CFRP as a dual-functional material in ICCP-SS system was discussed. Results show that the externally bonding CFRP in ICCP-SS system can not only protect the steel in chloride-contaminated concrete effectively but also maintain 70% of the original tensile strength of CFRP at a charge density of 744 A·h/m2. The expected service period of CFRP as a dual-functional material bonded to the chloride-contaminated concrete was determined to be more than 42.5 years.

Abstract
Flexible and wearable devices with the capabilities of both detecting and generating mechanical stimulations are critical for applications in human-machine interfaces, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Herein, a flexible patch based on a sandwiched piezoelectret structure is demonstrated to have a high equivalent piezoelectric coefficient of d33 at 4050 pC/N to selectively perform either the actuating or sensing function. As an actuator, mechanical vibrations with a peak output force of more than 20 mN have been produced, similar to those from the vibration mode of a modern cell phone, and can be easily sensed by human skin. As a sensor, both the pressure detection limit of 1.84 Pa for sensing resolution and excellent stability of less than 1% variations in 6000 cycles have been achieved. The design principle together with the sensing and driving characteristics can be further developed and extended to other soft matters and flexible devices.

Abstract
Nanodiamond-gold nanoparticle (ND-AuNP) dimers constitute a potent tool for controlled thermal heating of biological systems on the nanoscale, by combining a local light-induced heat source with a sensitive local thermometer. Unfortunately, previous solution-based strategies to build ND-AuNP conjugates resulted in large nanoclusters or a broad population of multimers with limited separation efficiency. Here, we describe a new strategy to synthesize discrete ND-AuNP dimers via the synthesis of biotin-labeled DNA-AuNPs through thiol chemistry and its immobilization onto the magnetic bead (MB) surface, followed by reacting with streptavidin-labeled NDs. The dimers can be easily released from MB via a strand displacement reaction and separated magnetically. Our method is facile, convenient, and scalable, ensuring high-throughput formation of very stable dimer structures. This ligand-induced self-assembly approach enables the preparation of a wide variety of dimers of designated sizes and compositions, thus opening up the possibility that they can be deployed in many biological actuation and sensing applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have been widely explored for combined therapeutic and diagnostic applications. For example, lipid-based nanoparticles have been used to encapsulate multiple types of agents and achieve multi-functions. Herein, we enabled a co-delivery of mRNA molecules and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) by using an amino-ester lipid-like nanomaterial. An orthogonal experimental design was used to identify the optimal formulation. The optimal formulation, MPA-Ab-8 LLNs, not only showed high encapsulation of both mRNA and SPIONs, but also increased the r 2 relaxivity of SPIONs by more than 1.5-fold in vitro. MPA-Ab-8 LLNs effectively delivered mRNA and SPIONs into cells, and consequently induced high protein expression as well as strong MRI contrast. Consistent herewith, we observed both mRNA-mediated protein expression and an evident negative contrast enhancement of MRI signal in mice. In conclusion, amino-ester nanomaterials demonstrate great potential as delivery vehicles for theranostic applications.

Abstract
Oral delivery is considered the preferred route of administration due to its convenience and favorable compliance. Here, docetaxel (DTX) loaded polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles, coated with polyethyleneimine⁻folic acid (PEI-FA) and polyethyleneimine⁻borneol (PEI-BO), were designed to enhance oral absorption (FA/BO-PLGA-NPs). The FA/BO-PLGA-NPs were spherical and smooth with an average size of (137.0 ± 2.1) nm. Encapsulation efficiency (EE%) and drug loading (DL%) were (80.3 ± 1.8)% and (2.3 ± 0.3)%, respectively. In vitro release studies showed that approximately 62.1% of DTX was released from FA/BO-PLGA-NPs in media at pH 7.4. The reverted gut sac method showed that the absorption of FA/BO-PLGA-NPs in the intestines was approximately 6.0 times that of DTX. Moreover, cellular uptake suggested that the obtained FA/BO-PLGA-NPs could be efficiently internalized into Caco-2 cells via FA-mediated active targeting and BO-mediated P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibition. Pharmacokinetics study demonstrated that after oral administration of DTX at a dose of 10 mg/kg in FA/BO-PLGA-NPs, the bioavailability of FA/BO-PLGA-NPs was enhanced by approximately 6.8-fold compared with that of DTX suspension. FA/BO-PLGA-NPs caused no obvious irritation to the intestines. Overall, the FA/BO-PLGA-NP formulation remarkably improved the oral bioavailability of DTX and exhibited a promising perspective in oral drug delivery.

Abstract
Dual-functional electrocatalysts have recently been reported to improve the conversion and storage of energy generated from overall water splitting in alkaline electrolytes. Herein, for the first time, a shape-controlled synthesis of starfish-like Co-Ni-S nanosheets on three-dimensional (3D) hierarchically porous nickel foams (Co-Ni-S/NF) via a one-step hydrothermal method was developed. The influence of reaction time on the nanosheet structure and properties was intensively studied. After 11 h reaction, the Co-Ni-S/NF-11 sample displays the most regular structure of nanosheets and the most outstanding electrochemical properties. As to water splitting, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) required overpotentials of 284.3 and 296 mV, respectively, to provide a current density of 100 mA cm-2. The marvelous electrochemical performance can be attributed to the conductive networks of 3D layered porous nickel skeletons that are highly interconnected, which provided a large specific area and highly active sites. To further enhance the electrochemical performances of the electrocatalyst, the influence of the doping of the P element was also studied. The results proved that the P-doped Co-Ni-S/NF maintains the starfish structure and demonstrates outstanding properties, providing a current density of 100 mA cm-2 with only 187.4 and 292.2 mV overpotentials for HER and OER, respectively. It exhibited far more excellent properties than reported dual-functional electrocatalysts. Additionally, when used as an overall water-splitting catalyst, P-Co-Ni-S/NF can provide a 10 mA cm-2 current density at a given cell voltage of 1.60 V in 1 M KOH, which is competitive to the best-known electrocatalysts, with high long-term stability.

Abstract
In this work, we present a dual-functional sensor that can perform surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based identification and electrochemical (EC) quantification of analytes in liquid samples. A lithography-free reactive ion etching process was utilized to obtain nanostructures of high aspect ratios distributed homogeneously on a 4 in. fused silica wafer. The sensor was made up of three-electrode array, obtained by subsequent e-beam evaporation of Au on nanostructures in selected areas through a shadow mask. The SERS performance was evaluated through surface-averaged enhancement factor (EF), which was ∼6.2 × 105, and spatial uniformity of EF, which was ∼13% in terms of relative standard deviation. Excellent electrochemical performance and reproducibility were revealed by recording cyclic voltammograms. On nanostructured electrodes, paracetamol (PAR) showed an improved quasi-reversible behavior with decrease in peak potential separation (ΔEp ∼ 90 mV) and higher peak currents (Ipa/Ipc ∼ 1), compared to planar electrodes (ΔEp ∼ 560 mV). The oxidation potential of PAR was also lowered by ∼80 mV on nanostructured electrodes. To illustrate dual-functional sensing, quantitative evaluation of PAR ranging from 30 μM to 3 mM was realized through EC detection, and the presence of PAR was verified by its SERS fingerprint.

Abstract
Dual-functional drug delivery system was developed by decorating c(RGDyK) (cyclic RGD [arginine-glycine-aspartic acid] peptide) with Pluronic polymeric micelles (c[RGDyK]-FP-DP) to overcome the drawbacks of low transport of chemotherapeutics across the blood–tumor barrier and poor multidrug-resistant (MDR) tumor therapy. c(RGDyK) that can bind to the integrin protein richly expressed at the site of tumor vascular endothelial cells and tumor cells with high affinity and specificity was conjugated to the N-hydroxysuccinimide-activated PEO terminus of the Pluronic F127 block copolymer. In this study, decreased tumor angiogenic and increased apoptotic activity in MDR cancer cells were observed after the treatment with c(RGDyK)-FP-DP. c(RGDyK)-FP-DP was fully characterized in terms of morphology, particle size, zeta potential, and drug release. Importantly, in vitro antiangiogenesis results demonstrated that c(RGDyK)-FP-DP had a significant inhibition effect on the tubular formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and promoted cellular apoptotic activity in MDR KBv cells. In addition, the growth inhibition efficacy of KBv tumor spheroids after crossing the blood–tumor barrier was obviously increased by c(RGDyK)-FP-DP compared to other control groups. Results suggested that c(RGDyK)-decorated Pluronic polymeric micelles can take pharmacological action on both human umbilical vein endothelial cells and KBv MDR cancer cells, resulting in a dual-functional anticancer effect similar to that observed in our in vitro cellular studies.
