We present an in-depth study of Cu NC catalysts, encompassing design strategies, atomic-level tuning, and diverse catalytic applications.
Integrative studies of ionic liquid interface layers: bridging experiments, theoretical models and simulations
Integrative “experiment–simulation–thermodynamic modeling” is highly demanded for qualitatively and quantitatively correlating the ionic liquids interface layer structuring to the overall properties, performance, and function.
Recent progress in construction methods and applications of perovskite photodetector arrays
The construction methods and image sensing applications of perovskite photodetector arrays in the development trends of the flexible, large-scale, narrow-band, and bionic photodetection are summarized and presented.

“Clickable” graphene nanoribbons for biosensor interfaces
We demonstrate the synthesis and application of “clickable” graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) as a versatile interface for electrochemical biosensors.
New horizons on advanced nanoscale materials for Cultural Heritage conservation
Hydrogels based on sustainable polymers and tailored for specific applications in Cultural Heritage conservation are presented. The system cleaning ability increases with the network tortuosity (water-soluble components) and the gel surface roughness (soil/particulate matter).

Role of carboxylates in the phase determination of metal sulfide nanoparticles
At low carboxylate concentrations the sulfur source is highly reactive thiourea, which gives rise to sulfur rich nanoparticles. At high carboxylate concentrations, the sulfur source is the less reactive thiocyanate, resulting in sulfur poor phases.
Interplay of the charge density wave transition with topological and superconducting properties
Electron-doped 1H-MSe2 (M = Nb, Ta) as a rich platform to study charge density waves, superconductivity, and topology.
Coexistence of ferromagnetism and charge density waves in monolayer LaBr2
Charge density waves (CDWs) and ferromagnetism are usually mutually exclusive. We report the coexistence of them in a monolayer electride.
Multifunctional DNA nanoprobe for tumor-targeted synergistic therapy by integrating chemodynamic therapy with gene silencing
A multifunctional DNA tetrahedron nanoprobe was ingeniously designed to simultaneously achieve chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and gene silencing for synergistic antitumor.
Super-resolution imaging of linearized chromatin in tunable nanochannels
The research work reports on the nanofluidic linearization and multi-color dSTORM super-resolution imaging of native Tetrahymena nucleosomes.
Stereoselective coronas regulate the fate of chiral gold nanoparticles in vivo
Formation of chirality-specific protein corona on gold nanoparticles promotes recognition by lipoproteins, complements, and acute phase proteins that mediates LDL receptor-involved cell uptake and tissue accumulation in vivo.
Depolarization induced III–V triatomic layers with tristable polarization states
The depolarization field is employed as a physical stressor to design switchable III–V two-dimensional tristable polar materials with promising compatibility with silicon, potentially enabling multibit-based nanoelectronics.
Orientation–polarization dependence of pressure-induced Raman anomalies in anisotropic 2D ReS2
In this work, we identify the effect of pressure on different components of the full 3 × 3 Raman tensor in anisotropic ReS2via measuring and analyzing the pressure-induced Raman responses under four specific orientation–polarization configurations.

Unveiling the formation mechanism of the biphenylene network
We have computationally studied the formation mechanism of the biphenylene network via the intermolecular HF zipping, as well as identified key intermediates experimentally, on the Au(111) surface.
