Nevertheless, the effective upgrading of bimetallic carbides for the HER is hampered due to the lack of efficient strategies for the modulation of catalytically active sites. Herein, a novel heterostructured electrocatalyst, comprising Ni3ZnC0.7/VN nanoparticles embedded into N-doped carbon nanotubes (Ni3ZnC0.7/VN@CNTs), is successfully synthesized via a one-step straightforward calcination protocol. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the synergistic coupling of Ni3ZnC0.7 and VN not only enhances the density of interfacial active sites, but also triggers a redistribution of interfacial charges, driven by the work function difference between the two components. This leads to the generation of abundant high-activity Ni–V bridge sites, thereby effectively reducing the H* adsorption–desorption energy barriers and expediting the HER kinetics of Ni3ZnC0.7/VN@CNTs. The as-obtained Ni3ZnC0.7/VN@CNTs require a remarkably low overpotential of 124 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2 without iR-compensation for the HER, and exhibit outstanding long-term stability for at least 600 h in 1.0 M KOH solution. This work provides a pioneering optimized tactic of dual metal sites for exploiting high-performance bimetallic carbide electrocatalysts that can facilitate the production of sustainable hydrogen.","PeriodicalId":86,"journal":{"name":"Materials Chemistry Frontiers","volume":" 10","pages":" 1596-1608"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143938046","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}

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent progress in chromium-containing polyanionic cathode materials for SIBs, emphasizing the multifunctional roles of chromium in enhancing electronic conductivity, stabilizing crystal structures, and enabling high-voltage redox activity. The interplay between material composition, crystal architecture, and sodium storage behavior is discussed. Challenges such as poor high-voltage durability and interface degradation are identified, with emphasis on strategies including structural modulation, defect regulation, and interface engineering. Moreover, strategies to overcome the bottlenecks in material development, such as improving high-voltage stability, optimizing energy density, and enhancing interfacial performance, are proposed.

Accordingly, single-atom M–N–C catalysts are prospective candidates for oxygen electrocatalysis because they have the largest atomic utilization and possess highly adjustable electronic structures. Herein, a rare-earth bifunctional OER and ORR electrocatalyst, with atomic Ce sites embedded in N-doped graphene (Ce1-NG), was designed and constructed.

Oncolytic therapy using peptide agents is a promising approach for the above-mentioned malignant tumor; however, their typically low stability often leads to insufficient bioavailability. Herein, we proposed a supramolecular strategy to improve the metabolic stability of the LTX-315 oncolytic peptide via direct complexation with a macrocyclic host. A negatively charged carboxylatoquaterphen[3]arene (CQP3) bearing 12 benzenes on its skeleton was designed and synthesized. CQP3 exhibited strong binding affinity toward LTX-315 with a high association constant of (1.51 ± 0.10) × 106 M−1 and excellent recognition selectivity under a complicated physiological environment. This complexation was attractive as traditional macrocycles could only recognize specific amino acid residues of peptide guests owing to their strict cavity limitation. A series of in vitro and in vivo safety tests preliminarily proved that CQP3 possessed good biocompatibility. Complexation with CQP3 enhanced the metabolic stability of LTX-315 and its cytotoxicity at the cellular level after incubation with plasma. In vivo antitumor efficacy studies further demonstrated that LTX-315 co-administrated with equimolar CQP3 was capable of improving the curative outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma-bearing nude mice.","PeriodicalId":86,"journal":{"name":"Materials Chemistry Frontiers","volume":" 10","pages":" 1568-1573"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143938043","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}

Dissymmetry factors (gabs and glum) were influenced by drying kinetics, silica surface functional groups, and foldamer concentration and length. Washing co-assembled films of quinoline octamers and INHs in order to separate the two, revealed that ECD signals originated from molecular solution of foldamers which decreased over 7 minutes, indicating enantiomeric enrichment even though modest (∼4%) induced by INHs. The induced foldamer handedness matched with the helicity of the INHs. Enantiopure foldamers (helically locked M or P oligomers) exhibited enhanced or reduced ECD signals depending on their helicity alignment with INHs.

In addition, the alternating arrangement of donor (D) and acceptor (A) segments in the well-ordered π-conjugated framework provides pathways and channels for intermolecular charge transfer (ICT). Therefore, the precise integration of the D and A moieties into the long-range ordered backbone of the COFs accelerates carrier mobilities and reduces the possibility of electron–hole recombination. COFs with a D–A system have made great progress in the related research of photocatalytic applications. It is anticipated that COFs consisting of polar hydrophilic electron-withdrawing groups (e.g., COOH) can promote the efficient migration of photogenerated electrons to the Pt cocatalyst for the reduction of water protons to produce hydrogen. Herein, we demonstrate the tuning of hydrogen evolution activity by tailoring the functionality of pyrene-based COFs by introducing donor (D) and acceptor (A) functionalities to facilitate the effective charge separation through the push–pull effect. Further, in order to systematically study the photocatalytic performances, a series of D–A COFs with different linkages and electron-donating/withdrawing groups have been synthesized. This difference in photocatalytic hydrogen generation activity is further supported by different optical and electrochemical studies. This work highlights the rational tuning of the hydrogen generation activity of COFs by strategic incorporation of appropriate functionality.","PeriodicalId":86,"journal":{"name":"Materials Chemistry Frontiers","volume":" 9","pages":" 1421-1430"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/qm/d5qm00074b?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143865394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
