These batteries must be soft to match the mechanical properties of biological tissues, minimizing tissue damage and immune responses. Additionally, they must be biocompatible, particularly when in proximity to vital organs like the heart and brain, to prevent toxicity and adverse reactions. Beyond biocompatibility, these batteries need to exhibit excellent electrochemical performance, thermomechanical resilience, and structural integrity for reliable operation in body fluids over extended periods. Enhancing the energy and power density of these batteries can lead to device miniaturization, extend their service life, improve operating efficiency, and meet a broader range of high-power applications. Achieving these advancements not only enables cableless and shape-conformal integration with multifunctionality but also underscores the significant research efforts dedicated to understanding and optimizing the performance of next-generation implantable batteries.

However, challenges remain, including maintaining structural integrity during high-temperature carbonization, enhancing mass and electron transport and ensuring the stability of isolated metal atoms under reaction conditions. To address these challenges, strategies such as using structure-directing agents to stabilize MOF frameworks, forming high-energy porous carbon networks, and optimizing support morphologies have been developed to maximize active site exposure and accessibility. On the other hand, the interplay between active metal sites and their coordination environments is crucial in determining the catalytic activity and selectivity of SACs. Advanced computational modeling, coupled with experimental validation, has provided insights into the electronic structure of SACs and the interactions between metal atoms and supports. These insights have enabled researchers to fine-tune local atomic coordination, leading to significant enhancements in performance. For instance, modifying the coordination environment of metal atoms optimizes the binding strength of reaction intermediates, thereby improving both activity and selectivity.

When the target binds to the probe, the spatial hindrance, charge distribution, and hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity inside the channel change, thereby affecting the ion current output signal. At present, the sensing technology based on solid-state nanopores/nanochannels has achieved in situ detection of targets with sizes ranging from 100 pm-100 nm.

CMCIs have garnered significant attention due to their flexible synthesis (annulative π-extension strategies), tailor-made structures (chiral polycyclic π-conjugated frameworks), and diverse properties (optical, electronic, magnetic, and biochemical characteristics related to chirality). Furthermore, CMCI systems exhibit unique chiroptical properties, including circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), which have elevated them as emerging stars among chiral organic functional molecules.

Their unique chiroptical properties and excellent semiconducting abilities position CMCIs as key players in the emerging field of chiral optoelectronics. Additionally, the appropriate packing modes and efficient charge transfer in solid-state CCHs provide excellent platforms for applications in chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) and topological quantum properties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p &gt;In this Account, we present a comprehensive overview of three representative types of CMCIs: single-strand CCHs (&lt;i&gt;ss&lt;/i&gt;-CCHs), double-strand CCHs (&lt;i&gt;ds&lt;/i&gt;-CCHs), and multiple-strand CCHs (&lt;i&gt;ms&lt;/i&gt;-CCHs).

After just a decade of research and development, OLHP-based solar cells have achieved power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) exceeding 26%. OLHPs offer a unique combination of solution-based processing, low-cost production, and high efficiency, making them strong competitors to traditional inorganic semiconductor technologies such as silicon-based photovoltaics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p &gt;OLHPs are described by the chemical formula ABX&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;, where “A″ is a monovalent cation, “B″ is the divalent lead cation (Pb&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;/sup&gt; or Sn&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;/sup&gt;), and “X″ is a halide anion. In the early stages of OLHP development, the choice of the A cation was largely limited to methylammonium (MA&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;), formamidinium (FA&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;), and cesium (Cs&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;), as these cations were small enough to fit into the crystal lattice of the perovskite structure based on size and structural requirements. Moreover, progress in recent years discovered that incorporating oversized A cations as additives or passivators could significantly fine-tune the perovskite properties, leading to major advancements in performance. As the focus of OLHP research gradually shifted from methylaminium lead triiodide (MAPbI&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;) to formamidinium lead triiodide (FAPbI&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;), with a more suitable band gap and longer carrier lifetime, recent studies have highlighted the critical influence of the oversized amidiniums.

In the future, further development of amidinium compounds will be essential, and the discovery of new amidiniums or novel applications is highly anticipated.
