Article Abstract
Nanoparticle/graphene hybrid composites have been of great interest in various disciplines due to their unique synergistic physicochemical properties. In this study, we report a facile and generalized synthesis method for preparing nanoparticle/exfoliated graphene (EG) composites by tailored electrostatic interactions. EG was synthesized by an electrochemical method, which produced selectively oxidized graphene sheets at the edges and grain boundaries. These EG sheets were further conjugated with polyethyleneimine to provide positive charges at the edges. The primary organic ligands of the colloidal nanoparticles were exchanged with Cl or MoS anions, generating negatively charged colloidal nanoparticles in polar solvents. By simple electrostatic interactions between the EG and nanoparticles in a solution, nanoparticles were controllably assembled at the edges of the EG. Furthermore, the generality of this process was verified for a wide range of nanoparticles, such as semiconductors, metals, and magnets, on the EG. As a model application, designed composites with size-controlled FeCo nanoparticle/EG were utilized as electromagnetic interference countermeasure materials that showed a size-dependent shift of the frequency ranges on the electromagnetic absorption properties. The current generalized process will offer great potential for the large-scale production of well-designed graphene nanocomposites for electronic and energy applications.

Harnessing the significant buildup of lactic acid (LA) within the tumor microenvironment (TME) for metabolic manipulation presents a promising avenue for cancer treatment. Nevertheless, single-agent therapies often fail to address the complex and varying needs of TME heterogeneity, posing a substantial scientific hurdle in oncology. In this context, we employ asymmetric mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AMS NPs) as delivery vehicles, simultaneously loading them with zinc‑cobalt‑manganese ferrite nanoparticles (ZCMF NPs), lactate oxidase (LOX), and doxorubicin (DOX).

Lanthanide-doped fluoride nanoparticles show great potential for optical thermometry and bioimaging. However, their applications are still constrained by inherent limitations in luminescence intensity and functional versatility. To overcome these challenges, we propose a core-active shell-inert shell nanostructure that integrates multifunctional capabilities within a single platform.

Encapsulation of non-noble bimetallic nanoparticles within a zeolite framework can improve the stability and accessibility of active sites, but the single microporous structure and poor metal stability decreased the catalytic performance of the catalyst. Here, 3D hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite encapsulated NiCo nanoparticles (NiCo@3DHZ5) were synthesized by Bottom-up confined steam-assisted crystallization (SAC) one-pot hydrothermal method and applied to the hydrodeoxygenation of vanillin. A series of characterizations showed that highly stable alloyed NiCo nanoparticles were encapsulated in a framework of 3DHZ5, the strong metal-zeolite interactions resulted in highly dispersed NiCo nano-alloys facilitated hydrogen adsorption and spillover of active hydrogen atoms, and the 3D hierarchical structure promoted oxygenated substrate diffusion, the synergy interaction between the alloy particles confined in the 3DHZ5 pores and the acidic sites on the zeolite surface promoted the selective conversion of vanillin.

The utilization of synergistic multivalent active sites holds potential in addressing the inherent sluggish kinetics of electrocatalytic reactions. Herein, we prepared au uNPs/Ni-NDC (NDC = 1,4-Naphthalenedicarboxylic acid) and leveraged the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect to drive hot electron transfer from au nanoparticles to the Ni substrate, thereby generating multivalent active sites to boost the urea oxidation reaction (UOR). Under exciting light, au uNPs/Ni-NDC exhibited a twofold increase in UOR current accompanied by a significant negative shift in onset potential.

Effective removal of ethylene (CH) during fruit and vegetables storage and transport remains a critical challenge for post-harvest preservation. Although S-scheme heterojunctions can improve charge separation and redox capacity for ethylene degradation, their efficiency is still restricted by limited carrier transfer and sluggish oxygen activation. Here, we rationally designed a novel 2D/2D SnNbO/BiMoO monolayer S-scheme heterojunction integrated with Pt co-catalyst to address these limitations.
