Among the advancements in this field, tetrahedral frameworks nucleic acids (tFNAs) have gained significant attention due to their straightforward design, structural simplicity, low cost, and high yield since their introduction by Turberfield in the early 2000s. Due to its stable spatial structure, tFNAs can resist the impact of innate immune responses on DNA and nuclease activity. Meanwhile, structural programmability of tFNAs allows for the development of static tFNA-based nanomaterials through the engineering of functional oligonucleotides or therapeutic molecules and dynamic tFNAs through the attachment of stimuli-responsive DNA apparatuses. This review first summarizes the key merits of tFNAs, including natural biocompatibility, biodegradability, structural stability, unparalleled programmability, functional diversity, and efficient cellular internalization. Based on these strengths, this review comprehensively analyzes applications of tFNAs in different clinical settings, including orthopedics, stomatology, urinary system diseases, liver-related diseases, tumors, infection, neural system diseases, ophthalmic diseases, and immunoprophylaxis. We also discuss the limitations of tFNAs and the challenges encountered in preclinical studies. This review provides new perspectives for future research and valuable guidance for researchers working in this field.","PeriodicalId":228,"journal":{"name":"Small","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867527","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}

Here, sacrificial additives, which have low solubility in carbonate electrolytes and can be continuously released, are proposed for AFBs. The sacrificial and continuously-releasing feature gifts the additives the capability to form and heal the SEI during the long-term cycling process, thus minimizing the loss of active Li and enabling the AFLMBs with high loading LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (21.7 mg cm−2) cathode a high capacity-retention of 68.9% after 50 cycles in commercial carbonate electrolyte, in contrast to the control cell failed after 30 cycles.

CTC demonstrated ≈99% removal efficiency against MIX-P under solar irradiation of ≈105 lumens. High removal efficiency of CTC is attributed to reduced bandgap (Eg), 2.65 eV, and high specific surface area (68.193 m2 g−1). Lower Eg extends light absorption that generates more charge carriers and reactive species, RS (•O2−, h+, •OH), to facilitate the photocatalytic removal process. These RS are confirmed through trapping experiments using IPA, N2, and KI. Binding energies of 282.5, 283.7, and 285 eV, corresponding to Ti─C, Ti─O─C, and Ce─C bondings, indicated coupling of TiO2, CeO2, and CNT within the CTC structure. Ionic and pH tests confirmed lower photocatalytic efficiency of CTC in an alkaline environment. Photocurrent density and EIS measurements provide insights into the charge carrier dynamics, while HPLC-MS analysis offered information on degradation pathway and identification of intermediates in the removal process. DFT studies confirmed the adjustments in electronic states, structural modifications, and band alignments in agreement with experimental results. This study highlights the potential of CTC as highly effective catalyst for sustainable removal of mixed pollutants from wastewater.","PeriodicalId":228,"journal":{"name":"Small","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857584","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}

In this work, a nanopore confinement effect-mediated MOF@UsAu is proposed as a novel PM heterojunction for photovoltaic interfaces. 2D MOFs have the unique advantage of a tunable and ordered porous structure. Its nanopore confinement effect regulates in situ synthesis of AuNPs on the MOF surface in dimensions and regions. The interface delocalization induced by work function matching and the Schottky barrier formed by band bending enhance the ordered LSPR and photovoltaic response of PM heterojunctions, achieving a significant enhancement of SPR interface plasma electric field. Based on the bi-directional interaction design between the S-shaped multifunctional peptide and MOF@UsAu, a PMs-enhanced SPR biosensor is constructed for direct, real-time, and ultrasensitive analysis of tumor exosomes. This study is the first to use 2D MOFs as substrates for constructing PMs and designing customized in situ synthesis strategies for specific application scenarios. It provides new ideas for the design of novel PMs and the construction of customized photovoltaic interfaces, expected to be extended to various types of photovoltaic device applications.","PeriodicalId":228,"journal":{"name":"Small","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867502","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}

One promising strategy to address these challenges is upcycling, which involves recycling transition metal-based waste from various industries. In this study, a heterostructure electrocatalyst for anion exchange membrane water electrolysis is developed by upcycling iron-based waste from the automotive industry. The iron-based swarf is converted into single-phase Fe2O3 by removing surface impurities through calcination in air. Subsequently, NiFe-LDH is formed via sequential hydrothermal synthesis, resulting in NiFe-LDH/Fe2O3 heterostructured electrocatalysts. The hetero-interface between NiFe-LDH and Fe2O3 significantly reduced the electrochemical activation barrier, enhancing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and, furthermore, achieving high-performance AEMWE. This approach not only reduces waste but also provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional materials, highlighting the potential for sustainable and efficient energy solutions.","PeriodicalId":228,"journal":{"name":"Small","volume":"111 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867530","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, these polymers typically exhibit weak long-wavelength emission. Herein, three novel aliphatic linear polyphosphate esters are prepared via a one-pot polycondensation reaction. Such polymers can generate strong blue, green, yellow, and red fluorescence under different excitations. Experimental and theoretical results showed that the cluster of C═C and phosphate ester groups attracted the negative charge of isolated functional groups, and the alkane chains and hydrogen atoms also provided a negative charge for spatial electronic communication. Then, intrinsic fluorescence arises from the charge-transfer-induced enhanced spatial electronic communication. Additionally, these polymers show potential applications in fluorescence film, ion detection, bacteria imaging, and visualization of the NaCl crystallization process. This work provides a universal design strategy for developing strong long-wavelength emissive polymers and gains new insight into intrinsic emission mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":228,"journal":{"name":"Small","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857591","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}
