A singular plasmonic-thermoelectric hollow nanostructure inducing apoptosis and cuproptosis for catalytic cancer therapy
A high-performance plasmonic-thermoelectric catalytic therapy utilizing copper vacancy-enriched Cu2−xSe hollow nanospheres. The accumulations of reactive oxygen species, heat and copper ions within cancer cells trigger cuproptosis and apoptosis, creating a synergistic therapeutic effect.
Aggregation-induced electrosynthesis
Aggregation-Induced C-C Bond Formation on an Electrode Driven by the Surface Tension of Water
Safeguarding Blue Skies: Advanced Metal-Organic Frameworks for Pollution Remediation
Benzene and SO2 coexist as hazardous air pollutants. Here we synthesized a robust pyrazolate MOF sorbent with accessible Ni2+ sites that can simultaneously capture trace amounts of benzene and SO2 under humid conditions.
TPE-Embedded Butterfly Bis-Crown Ether with Controllable Conformation and Supramolecular Chiroptical Property
A series of bis-crown ethers with AIE-active TPE core are synthesized via intramolecular McMurry coupling. The incorporation of flexible side chains into the rigid TPE core results in specific strain on the molecules, generating two conformers with specific semi-rigid symmetric/asymmetric structures
The asymmetric solvating design: a versatile electrolyte design strategy for micro-sized alloying anodes
Our work presents asymmetric electrolyte design, ie, the use of asymmetric solvating and lithium hexafluorophosphate salt to promote LiF interphase formation on micro-sized alloying anodes (Si, Al, Sn, Bi), achieving superior cycle performance for high-energy batteries using low-cost materials.
Evolutionary Studies Drive the Elucidation of Plant Natural Product Biosynthetic Pathways
Plant natural products are a major source of pharmaceuticals, with over one-third of FDA-approved drugs derived from natural products and their derivatives.
