Here, we employ first-principles calculations to investigate the evolution of band edges in monolayer MoS<sub>2</sub>, boron phosphide (BP), and MoS<sub>2</sub>/BP heterostructures before and after their rolling into nanotubes. Our research results indicate that the intrinsic MoS<sub>2</sub>/BP vertical heterostructures exhibit a type-II direct bandgap, but this feature is not robust under strain. For MoS<sub>2</sub>/BP coaxial heterotubes, the type of bandgap is influenced by both chirality and diameter. Specifically, when the diameter exceeds 19 Å under zigzag chirality, the system undergoes a transition from a type-I direct bandgap to a type-II direct bandgap, which remains stable within a strain range of −6 to 6%. Furthermore, we delve into the alterations in band edge positions in single-walled nanotubes induced by curvature-driven flexoelectric effects and circumferential tensile strain. In coaxial heterotubes, the transfer of electrons between the inner and outer tubes forms a cylindrical capacitor-like structure. Incorporating the inherent flexoelectric voltage in single-walled nanotubes, we have derived a functional relationship between the counteracting voltage (<i>V</i><sub>hyb</sub>) and their diameter. Finally, the system was explored for its strong light absorption capabilities with absorption levels up to 10<sup>5</sup>, and it was found that strain can effectively modulate the range of light absorption.

Outdoor tests without shading or convection coverage demonstrate that the average cooling temperature of TiO<sub>2</sub>-EP with PMF is further elevated by approximately 1.1 °C. Additionally, its aging rate decreases significantly, and the solar reflectance is 5.08% higher than that of TiO<sub>2</sub>-EP without PMF after 120 h of UV aging experiments.

Currently, EFCs face challenges of poor stability and catalytic efficiency at the cathodes, necessitating solutions to enhance the oriented immobilization of multicopper oxidases for improved heterogeneous electron transfer efficiency. This study successfully identified a surface-binding peptide (SBP, 13 amino acids) derived from a methionine-rich fragment (MetRich, 53 amino acids) in <i>E. coli</i> CueO through semirational design. The first phase of engineering focused on the structural characteristics of MetRich, pinpointing fragment N394-H406 (SBP 1.0, corresponding to variant CueO-M12) as the key region dominating the binding. Subsequent site-saturation mutagenesis, combined with electrochemical screening, yielded three variants, and among them, the variant CueO-M12-1 (CueO-M12 H398I) exhibited a more uniform favorable orientation with a 1.38-fold increase in current density. Further electrocatalytic kinetics analysis revealed a significant 21.2-fold improvement in kinetics current density (<i>J</i><sub><i>k</i></sub>) compared with that of CueO-WT, leading to the development of SBP 2.0.
