Engineering magnetism in hybrid organic–inorganic metal halide perovskites
State-of-the-art review of magnetic hybrid organic–inorganic transition metal halide perovskites, focusing on chemical design, the origin and tunability of magnetism, and potential applications in magneto-optics, sensors, and spin filters.
Nanomaterials in modulating tumor-associated macrophages and enhancing immunotherapy
Reprogramming anti-inflammatory macrophages into pro-inflammatory type becomes an efficient antitumor therapeutic approach. With the development of nanotechnology, the strategy of using nanomaterials is an effective option for TAM repolarization.
Tuning the magnetic properties of NiPS3 through organic-ion intercalation
The intercalation of different organic cations in the layered antiferromagnet NiPS3 yields ferrimagnetic ordering with a molecule-dependent transition temperature. A successful intercalation is demonstrated for bulk crystals and exfoliated flakes.
A new helical InSeI polymorph: crystal structure and polarized Raman spectroscopy study
One-dimensional InSeI helical polymorph, with a complex unit cell and directional optoelectronic properties, whose response to linearly polarized light allows identification of the orientation of the van der Waals helical chains from bulk to flake.
Effect of surface modification on the distribution of magnetic nanorings in hepatocellular carcinoma and immune cells
The distributions of ferrimagnetic vortex-domain iron oxide nanorings (FVIOs) with or without HCC-targeting peptide SP94 in different cells of HCC tumor microenvironment was studied in mouse models.
Lattice dynamics in chiral tellurium by linear and circularly polarized Raman spectroscopy: crystal orientation and handedness
Linearly and circularly polarized Raman spectroscopy allows to identify crystallographic faces, chiral axis orientation and crystal handedness of chiral tellurium, interesting toward the development of multifunctional devices.

Rugby ball-shaped magnetic microcapsule for tumor hyperthermia
Controllable synthesis of rugby ball-shaped magnetic microcapsules with enhanced heat induction for hepatocellular carcinoma therapy on H22 tumor-bearing mice.
About this collection
The Journal of Materials Chemistry annual lectureship, established in 2010, honours early-career scientists who have made a significant contribution to the field of materials chemistry.
Dr Guanjie He (University College London, UK) is the recipient of the 2025 Journal of Materials Chemistry Lectureship. We have also recognised two outstanding runners-up, Dr Xiaoli Liu (Xi’an Jiaotong University, China) and Dr Beatriz Martín-García (CIC nanoGUNE, Spain).
Each year we have a large number of excellent researchers nominated for the lectureship award across Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B and C. To recognise the diversity of the three journals, overall community and candidates nominated each year, we have decided to additionally recognise runners-up for the Journal of Materials Chemistry Lectureship.
To celebrate, we have collated some of Xiaoli and Beatriz's publications in Royal Society of Chemistry journals in this 2025 Lectureship runners-up web collection.
