However, the fundamental impact of dopants on the anisotropic grain growth kinetics remains unclear. Herein, this work systematically investigates how dopants with different valences (Mg<sup>2+</sup>, Al<sup>3+</sup>, Zr<sup>4+</sup>, Ta<sup>5+</sup>, and Mo<sup>6+</sup>) affect the anisotropic grain growth during the high-temperature lithiation process. The findings demonstrate that the grain growth rate along the [104] and [110] directions is initially faster, followed by a higher growth rate along the [003] direction. The coarsening exponents n for the grain growth (along the [003], [104], and [110] directions) with low-valence ions (Mg<sup>2+</sup>, Al<sup>3+</sup>) dopants are approximately equal to 2, indicating that the grain growth depends solely on short-range diffusion at the grain boundary. Interestingly, the n value along the [003] direction enlarges with an increase in valence. Notably, the higher valence of Mo<sup>6+</sup> results in a significant elevation of the exponent n along the [003] direction to 4.5, indicating a strong pinning effect due to Mo<sup>6+</sup> segregation at the grain boundary. This pinning impedes grain boundary migration, inhibits grain coarsening, and effectively enhances cycle stability.</p>","PeriodicalId":520556,"journal":{"name":"Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)","volume":" ","pages":"e202516715"},"PeriodicalIF":16.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145077169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we introduce sequence-responsive diagnostic uncaging-a unique approach that integrates nucleic acid recognition with near-infrared (NIR)-triggered molecular activation within a metal-nucleic acid scaffold. This platform is built upon a first-of-its-kind Pt(IV)-DNA molecular scaffold, modularly assembled via click chemistry, and integrates a Pt(IV)-caged reporter, a nucleic acid recognition domain, and an NIR antenna (e.g., IR800). Notably, DNA-mediated electron transfer (DNA-MET) provides a long-range ET pathway to direct photoreduction of the Pt(IV) centers, enabling \"responsive uncaging\" that occurs only upon hybridization with a fully complementary DNA or miRNA strand. Upon NIR irradiation, the duplexed nucleic acid system facilitates electron transfer from the excited antenna to Pt(IV), triggering the release of fluorescent reporters. Using two Pt(IV)-caged fluorophores (MCA and BDP), we demonstrate efficient uncaging and high sequence specificity in both solution and live cells.
