Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) have demonstrated considerable potential in the field of photocatalytic organic synthesis. However, the issue of intrinsic photogenerated carrier recombination severely limits their potential applications. Herein, a strategy for boosting the photocatalytic performance of CMP through the triboelectric effect is proposed. Specifically, the b…

Reliable sensing of bioelectronic signals is highly dependent on the efficient charge transfer at the biointerface, and the incorporation of biointerface materials would enhance it. Nevertheless, systematic investigations on interfacial electrochemical dynamics remain lacking, and universal fabrication criteria for such biointerface materials are yet to be established. Here, we…

A multimodal operando measurement system integrating a surface force apparatus, optical interferometry, and Raman spectroscopy was developed to investigate layering, molecular-state evolution, and wear at concentrated polymer brush (CPB) interfaces in a good solvent. The system enables simultaneous monitoring of mechanical responses, interfacial gap, and molecular behavior at s…

Tissue patches have gained widespread attention for their ability to rapidly and effectively close tissue wounds. Nevertheless, maintaining robust adhesive strength under physiological conditions remains a significant challenge for current tissue adhesion materials. Herein, a tissue patch material based on a poly(p-dioxanone)-co-poly(ethylene glycol) (PPDO-co-PEG) copolymer is …

Real-time dual monitoring of pathogen burden and host immune response enables risk stratification and precision therapy, yet remains technically challenging. Addressing the needs of chikungunya fever outbreak control, here, we developed a flexible, ultrasensitive dual-mode lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) capable of simultaneous detection of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) antigen and …

The inherent non-recyclability of epoxy resins (ERs), a major sustainability barrier, can be addressed by incorporating dynamic covalent linkages. However, conventional approaches to design reprocessable ERs typically require the preinstallation of dynamic motifs within monomers, making synthesis a multistep process. Besides, their thermal and mechanical robustness often remain…

The commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) faces significant challenges due to their sensitivity to environmental humidity, which compromises film crystallization and device stability. Here, we introduce diphenylvinylphosphine (DPVP) as a Lewis base additive that enhances the performance and reproducibility of PSCs fabricated under ambient-air conditions. DPVP suppr…

Self-assembled peptide amphiphile (PA)-based nanostructures are promising biomaterials with their biocompatibility and highly tunable physical and chemical properties. Despite this promise, the interactions of PA nanostructures with biological systems have remained largely unexplored. Here, we investigate nano-bio interactions of self-assembled PA nanostructures using a series …

A major challenge in chiral carbon nanoparticles is to create materials whose chirality persists outside aqueous environments and remains functional under organic synthesis, interfacial engineering, and device fabrication conditions. We overcome this barrier by developing intrinsically chiral, organo-soluble carbon nanocolloids (CNCs) through solvent-free thermal condensation o…

Maintaining ultralow metal-ion purity in process chemicals is crucial in semiconductor fabrication, where trace Fe3+ contamination can lead to dielectric breakdown, yield loss, and unintended doping. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) provides excellent qualitative and quantitative sensitivity; however, it requires specialized infrastructure, is time-consumin…

Real-time monitoring of drying dynamics is critical for ensuring high-quality thin-film fabrication in inkjet printing. Here, we present a classification framework for the drying stages of ZnO nanoparticle inks on 200-PPI patterned substrates using low-resolution optical images. By correlating 3D surface profiles with visual textures, we show how the volatility mismatch and vis…

Protecting sliding surfaces from friction and wear remains a persistent engineering challenge. Graphene oxide (GO) and pristine graphene (PG), the two different carbon-based 2D materials, are attractive solid-lubricant coatings, but both are compromised by moisture. GO readily forms a protective transfer layer at the sliding contact through the reactive, adhesive chemistry of i…
