Unlike conventional photocatalysts, NIR-responsive QDs possess notable optical properties, including tunable bandgap excitations, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), and upconversion capabilities, which enable efficient photon absorption beyond the visible spectrum. This review explores the transformative potential of NIR-responsive QDs in photocatalytic applications, emphasizing mechanistic strategies to exploit the largely untapped NIR segment of the solar spectrum for advanced photocatalytic processes. Recent advances in small-bandgap semiconductors and self-doped plasmonic semiconductors QDs are discussed, highlighting their role in enhancing photocatalytic efficiency through synergistic electronic, plasmonic and photothermal effects. Furthermore, the application of up-conversion processes in extending the photoactive range of QDs is examined, demonstrating their potential for sustainable photocatalysis under NIR irradiation. Finally, we address current challenges in achieving performance optimization, establishing veritable working mechanism, and demonstrating pilot-scale applications, while providing insights into future directions for harnessing NIR-responsive QDs as next-generation photocatalysts. By leveraging these advanced nanomaterials, this review aims to inspire innovative strategies for harnessing the full solar spectrum, ultimately contributing to the realization of a carbon-neutral energy future.","PeriodicalId":6,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Nano Materials","volume":"8 16","pages":"8154–8166 8154–8166"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143867566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, syntheses of these materials rely on harsh and nonsustainable chemical reagents and/or template-based methods, while the resulting structures generally lack covalent integration, compromising their properties. Herein, we demonstrate a self-foaming mechanism for green and scalable synthesis of HGA using protein precursors. Rather than creating a solid composite and exchanging the sacrificial component with a gas phase, we create a gas phase first and then convert the liquid into a solid phase. The controlled heating of protein induces intrinsic foaming via softening, gas evolution, and carbonization/graphitization, resulting in an HGA composed of a sheet and fiber-like framework. Our investigation of processing-structure–property relationships elucidates the interplay between synthesis variables and aerogel structure/properties, enabling deliberate control over microstructural features. Notably, we demonstrate more than an order-of-magnitude variation in density and over a 7-fold increase in compressive strength by controlling the synthesis protocol. This study opens doors to a green and scalable approach to synthesizing HGAs with customizable microstructures and properties, making them promising for a broad spectrum of applications such as environmental remediation and energy storage.","PeriodicalId":6,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Nano Materials","volume":"8 16","pages":"8464–8472 8464–8472"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143867630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the commercialization of LMBs has lagged behind expectations due to safety concerns related to short circuits. Recent advancements have focused on tackling lithium dendrites and separator/electrolyte-related dielectric failure. In this review, we cover the main factors that promote lithium dendrites and cause separator/electrolyte failure, highlighting the lithium plating mechanism and the decomposition chain triggered by Joule heat. Based on the fundamentals of electrochemistry, we assess and summarize the promising approaches that have been widely applied and proven in literature practice, including the construction of separators with high mechanical modulus and lithium affinity, the incorporation of functional components in electrolytes to regulate lithium plating, and the enhancement of the thermal stability and thermal strain ability of the separator/electrolyte system, among others. We believe that the understanding of mechanisms and proposed strategies may approach the threshold of breakthroughs, and a periodical review is helpful for both academia and industry in pursuing the commercialization of LMBs.","PeriodicalId":35,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Fuels","volume":"39 16","pages":"7665–7690 7665–7690"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143863213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we employed the tumor biomarker legumain as a model imaging switch and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) mRNA as a therapeutic target, respectively, facilitated by tailored peptides (bioligands of AuNCs) and the aptamer AS1411-antisense mRNA (Apt-M). Compared to monomeric Apt-M, the Apt-M/AuNCs system exhibited significant improvements in both stability and binding affinity, subsequently translating to notable enhancements in imaging contrast and therapeutic efficacy. Endowed with remarkable biostability, affinity, and specificity, our work offers a facile route for efficient aptamer functionalization and subsequently superior theranostics performance, thereby holding great potential for broadening the application of aptamers into an ever-growing array of research fields.","PeriodicalId":6,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Nano Materials","volume":"8 16","pages":"8144–8153 8144–8153"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143867287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These efforts have expanded to include the development of multi-reconfigurable nanodevices that exhibit complex motions, requiring the combinatorial and reversible operation of multiple movable components. Here, we report a multi-reconfigurable DNA origami lattice actuator capable of transforming into distinct shapes based on combinations of external cues. The structure comprises nine frames, each constructed from a rigid 4-helix bundle connected by flexible single-stranded DNAs. Except for the central frame, each frame contains two bridge strands that form tetraplex structures, such as i-motifs or G-quadruplexes, in response to changes in pH or the presence of K+. By modulating tetraplex formation through chemical cues and complementary suppressor strands, the shapes of individual frames are sequentially reconfigured, enabling the lattice actuator to adopt different configurations. This simple yet modular design approach facilitates the development of intelligent biomaterials capable of specific transformations in response to combinations of external stimuli.","PeriodicalId":6,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Nano Materials","volume":"8 16","pages":"8106–8112 8106–8112"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.1021/acsanm.5c00532","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143867352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve the problem of easy aggregation of Ni nanoparticles and improve their catalytic activity, bimetallic amphiphilic Ni-based catalysts (Ni–Cu/N-HMC@MS) were prepared by loading Ni and Cu nanoparticles on N-HMC@MS by the impregnation-hydrogen reduction method. The catalysts were fully characterized and applied to the hydrogenation of rosin macromolecules. The larger pore size of the catalysts makes mass transfer more convenient, and the doped nitrogen elements in the material can provide more coordination anchoring sites for metal nanoparticles. Amphiphilicity can not only improve the dispersion of catalysts in water but also increase the affinity for organic reaction substrates, which can realize effective green catalysis in aqueous medium. Nonprecious metal Ni as the active component greatly reduces the production cost. The influence of various reaction conditions on the catalytic reaction was investigated, and the best reaction process was selected. The catalyst Ni5–Cu1/N-HMC@MS shows good activity and high stability, which can be compared with precious metal catalysts Pd and Ru. This study points out an environmentally friendly direction for the further processing and exploitation of rosin resources and brings an idea for the development of aqueous catalytic hydrogenation with nonprecious metal catalysts.","PeriodicalId":6,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Nano Materials","volume":"8 16","pages":"8199–8208 8199–8208"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143867631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
