By employing biomimetic approaches, some exceptional properties and structures found in nature can be mimicked in graphene materials, effectively enhancing graphene's adsorption and mechanical properties. Current biomimetic methods include biomimetic mineralization, self-assembly, and templating. unfortunately, all of the above methods suffer from the disadvantages of complexity and poor bionic effect. Nevertheless, 3D printing, a form of additive manufacturing (AM) technology, offers integrated molding and excellent biomimetic performance in creating biomimetic materials.

Achieving multiple selectivity in CTH is particularly crucial, but full of great challenge.

Catalytic investigations revealed that <strong>1</strong> displayed highly multi-selective CTH of aldehydes and ketones containing both chemo- and size selectivity for the first time. The CTH of aldehydes and ketones exhibited remarkable reductive selectivity of 99% towards C<img>O bonds into CH<img>OH in the presence of -NO<sub>2</sub>, -CN and C<img>C groups. Through tuning the reaction conditions, <strong>1</strong> also exhibited highly selective reduction of 97% for -CHO groups in the simultaneous presence of -CHO and -COCH<sub>3</sub> groups in intra- and intermolecular settings. Remarkably, reductive selectivity towards -CHO group remained prominent among five concurrent unsaturated groups mentioned above.

Mechanistic studies have revealed that Zr<sub>6</sub>O<sub>8</sub> clusters served as the catalytic centers and the observed chemoselectivity mainly results from the synergistic effect of distinct metal sites within <strong>1</strong>.

Recently, a variety of magnetic-driven strategies have been developed to dynamically regulate liquids within enclosed spaces, especially through physicochemical mechanisms. These approaches provide efficient control over liquid behavior by leveraging magnetically induced chemical changes, structural deformations, and dragging motions, opening new opportunities for flexible and versatile fluid management.
