Herein, a belt-like nano-heterojunction Cu<sub>2</sub>O/CuVO<sub>3</sub> (CVO) is developed as a potential redox dyshomeostasis inducer by exacerbating ROS levels and compromising antioxidant defense without the need of exogenous stimulations. Steady-state analysis reveals that CVO exhibits extraordinary reaction velocity and catalytic efficiency (<i>V<sub>max</sub></i> = 2.32 µ<span>m</span> s<sup>−1</sup>, <i>K<sub>cat</sub></i> = 0.49 s<sup>−1</sup>) in the production of hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Likewise, density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the superb charge-transferring properties in the heterojunction structure and unique surface coverage rate of CVO primarily dominate the high-efficient catalytic reactions. Noteworthy, CVO is capable of inducing mitochondria dysfunction by aggravating the cellular redox imbalance, thereby triggering multiple cell death pathways and generating synergistic effects. Transcriptomics analysis outcomes further demonstrate that CVO exerts significant and distinct effects on key biological processes in tumor cells, encompassing but not limited to canonical pathways such as apoptosis, ferroptosis, and cuprotosis. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate the pronounced tumor-inhibitory efficacy of CVO, which paves a promising pathway for the development of novel nanocatalysts that effectively target cancer through the amplification of redox dyshomeostasis.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144192845","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}

The ATC is composed of a hydrogel framework made of disulfide-linked chitosan and hyaluronic acid, encapsulating T cell-derived granzyme B and phage-derived holin. This design leverages the tumor microenvironment for the targeted release of these antitumor and antibacterial agents to precisely kill tumor cells and intracellular bacteria.

However, inadequate adhesion between the SAM and perovskite layer remains a critical challenge, limiting further performance enhancement. Herein, a synergistic interface engineering strategy is introduced that combines a co-assembly approach with in situ polymerization to optimize the buried interface of perovskite film. Specifically, 11-Mercaptoundecylphosphoric acid (MPA) is incorporated into a SAM to form co-SAMs, improving homogeneity and mitigating defects at the NiO<i><sub>x</sub></i> surface. Simultaneously, the ionic liquid (IL) monomer 1-Allyl-3-vinylimidazolium bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl) imide (AVMTF<sub>2</sub>) is incorporated into the perovskite precursor. The aggregation of ILs cation at the bottom interface facilitates in situ polymerization via sulfhydryl end groups, forming the POL-AVM polymer at the perovskite/SAM interface. This polymer enhances interfacial adhesion, regulates perovskite crystallization, and reinforces structural integrity by strongly anchoring organic cations through multiple hydrogen bonds. As a result, this synergistic strategy achieves a champion PCE of 26.25% (certified 26.04%), along with excellent long-term stability, retaining 95.6% of its initial efficiency after 1000 h of continuous operation under the ISOS-L-2I protocol.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144192849","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}

Developing solution processes with good controllability has thus attracted increasing research interest in the last decade. Inspired by Chinese brushes, a fibrous‐guided direct‐writing strategy is recently developed that enables controllable liquid transfer for making micro‐patterns, which is systematically reviewed from viewpoints of both the fundamentals in liquid manipulation and the applications in optoelectronics. First, a model structure of dual‐conical fibers (CFs) is proposed, whose capacity in liquid transfer is featured as the dynamic liquid balance and the uniform liquid film. On the basis, triple‐ and multi‐ CFs are developed for transferring liquid onto the target substrate in a controllable manner, where the tri‐phase contact line can be finely tuned. Thereafter, micro‐patterns with µm‐scale resolution, cm‐scale uniformity, and molecular‐scale orientation can be achieved, as is demonstrated by the as‐prepared ultrasmooth quantum dot films, highly aligned silver nanowires films, and wrinkle‐free reduced graphene oxide films, respectively. The high‐performance optoelectronic devices, including quantum dot light‐emitting diodes, flexible transparent electrodes, and pressure sensors, are demonstrated.

In vivo, oral administration of SMASMs in ovariectomized mice improves intestinal barrier integrity, mitigates inflammation, and suppresses bone loss, accompanied by alterations in microbial biomarkers and predicted metabolic functions. Notably, HA serves as a sustainable prebiotic substrate that supports the LGG metabolic niche and microbial homeostasis, enhances the production of SCFAs, including butyric, isobutyric, and valeric acids, and contributes to the downregulation of key osteoclastic signaling factors.

The recent AWH materials focus primarily on maximizing water uptake, while conventional approaches prioritize hygroscopicity at the expense of mechanical integrity, which severely limits their applicability in real-world scenarios. In this study, a novel tunable hygroscopic mix-charged polyzwitterionic hydrogel (THMPH) is reported that achieves dual excellence in outstanding moisture absorbency and mechanical robustness. Owing to the broad ionic crosslink's degree enabling the rigid skeletal framework and energy-dissipative sacrificial networks, THMPH exhibits more than 200 times higher mechanical ductility (225 kPa tensile strength retention at 200% mass swelling ratio) in comparison with the commonly-used AWH zwitterionic polybetaine. The optimized topological structure coupled with improved lithium chloride binding affinity results in excellent water uptake (2.9 g g<sup>−1</sup> at 25 °C, 70% RH). When THMPH is used for daytime photovoltaic panel cooling, it can provide a 15 °C temperature reduction of a PV panel under 1 kW m<sup>−2</sup> solar irradiation, resulting in a 7.33% increase in solar energy conversion efficiency.
