An innovative approach for inserting metal cations into layered perovskite oxides is investigated using a soft-chemistry route that enables controlled incorporation of cations such as Cu²⁺. Starting from the Ruddlesden-Popper...
Wound healing is a complex biological process essential for restoring tissue integrity. Delayed or non-healing skin wounds can lead to serious complications, including infection, scarring, clotting, and haemorrhage. Therefore, promoting...
3D printing is widely employed in biomedicine and aerospace for its design flexibility and material efficiency. However, creating complex water-resistant structures with traditional methods poses challenges. Here, we develop a...

Understanding how weak intermolecular interactions regulate molecular ordering and thereby direct symmetry changes during phase transitions remains a central challenge in molecular crystal engineering. Here, we exploit systematic single-site halogen...
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have attracted extensive attention due to their high theoretical energy density and low cost, but their practical application is severely hindered by the shuttle effect of lithium...
Multifunctional luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising advanced optical materials, yet integrating organelle targeting capability, ultra-sensitive multi-analyte sensing, and multi-level information encryption in a single stable Cd-based MOFs...
Co-doped Ni(OH) 2 @NF serves as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for glucose oxidation coupled hydrogen evolution. Co doping reduces phase-transition barrier and strengthens glucose adsorption, delivering high activity, Faradaic efficiency and long-term stability.
An intrinsically emissive triazine hydrogel enables label-free fluorescence quenching detection of nitrophenols in water, retaining performance in real matrices and showing predominantly static quenching.
The construction of chiral covalent organic frameworks (CCOFs) with amino acid derived backbone is a promising and remains largely unexplored area of chiral porous materials. Herein, two CCOFs, denoted as...
This review provides an overview of ionic liquids as piezoionic materials and piezoelectric performance enhancers, emphasizing their mechanisms, fabrication strategies, and emerging applications in sensors, actuators, and energy harvesting.
A 3D dual-network structure formed by hydrogen and covalent bonds suppresses non-radiative decay and blocks water, transforming weak phosphorescence into ultralong moisture-resistant RTP.
An AIEgen DTTPB could target the membrane and induce its peroxidation upon white-light irradiation. Under optimized conditions, DTTPB could increase membrane permeability and cancer drug uptake, resulting in good therapeutic effect.
Mesomorphism in tailless compounds: a combined experimental-theoretical approach based on the analysis of molecular rotation and intermolecular slippage provides a simple strategy for rationalizing mesophase formation.
Cryogenic thermosalient motion arises from colossal anisotropic lattice expansion rather than solvent release, with rapid molecular rotation and macroscopic crystal motion occurring independently within the same material.
