Cuproptosis, a promising copper‐dependent cell death mechanism, remains clinically constrained by its inherent reliance on copper bioavailability and tumor metabolic heterogeneity. Building upon these insights, this work developed an Elesclomol (ES)‐loaded delivery system employing copper‐based metal–organic frameworks (Cu MOFs) as carriers. This innovation effectively addresses rapid drug metabolism while enabling tumor microenvironment‐responsive controlled release. To enhance targeting capability and biocompatibility, the MOF is further coated with trastuzumab for HER2+ tumor‐specific delivery. This targeted biomimetic delivery system exhibits several critical features: 1) Active targeting of HER2‐overexpressing breast cancer cells; 2) Establishment of self‐amplifying copper accumulation through ES‐mediated efflux‐rebinding dynamics, decoupling therapeutic efficacy from endogenous copper levels; 3) Glutathione‐mediated Cu<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>→Cu<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> conversion driving Fenton reactions that generate hydroxyl radicals to disrupt redox homeostasis; 4) Cu<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> binding to lipoylated tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle proteins, inducing mitochondrial proteotoxicity via iron‐sulfur cluster destabilization. In HER2+ breast cancer models, Zr‒Cu MOF@ES@aH (ZCEH) demonstrated 67% suppression of primary tumor growth with concurrent inhibition of lung metastasis. Collectively, this study enhances therapeutic drug sensitivity through material‐mediated cuproptosis, providing a strategic blueprint for advancing next‐generation cancer nanomedicine.","PeriodicalId":112,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Functional Materials","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145035760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, weak performance and low information density restrict the functionality of these devices. Here, the output performance of the 2D piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) is optimized through the synergistic effect of the piezoelectric polarization field and the built‐in field. 2D PEHs with a gold‐indium electrode structure have built‐in electric fields oriented in the same direction as the piezoelectric field, which increases the total polarization field to optimize the output performance and stability. The peak‐to‐peak open‐circuit voltage is up to 164.7 mV, which is 8.95 times that of the symmetric gold electrodes. The novel integrated arrays fabricated based on 2D PEHs exhibit superior overall performance compared to previously reported piezoelectric sensors, enabling the reconstruction of the surface weak strain field, benefiting from the good linear relationship between output voltage and strain. Combined with deep learning techniques, the 2D PEH integrated array recognizes eight wrist motion states of small amplitude differences with 98.44% accuracy. This work not only provides a synergistic strategy of piezoelectric orientation and built‐in fields for developing intelligent sensor arrays, but also broadens the application fields of 2D piezoelectric devices.","PeriodicalId":112,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Functional Materials","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145035903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
