Biopolymer core-shell microspheres play a crucial role in various biomedical applications, including drug delivery, tissue engineering, and diagnostics. These applications require microparticles with consistent, well-controlled size and precise shape fidelity. However, achieving high-throughput synthesis of size and shape-controlled core-shell biopolymer microgels remains a significant challenge.

Nanophotonics, the study of light-matter interactions at the nanometer scale, has emerged as a transformative field that bridges photonics and nanotechnology. Using engineered nanomaterials-including plasmonic metals, high-index dielectrics, two-dimensional (2D) materials, and hybrid systems-nanophotonics enables light manipulation beyond the diffraction limit, unlocking novel applications in sensing, imaging, and quantum technologies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances (post-2020) in nanophotonic materials, fabrication methods, and their cutting-edge applications.

Photoluminescent carbogenic nanomaterials (PL-CNMs), such as carbon nanodots and graphene quantum dots, have emerged as promising candidates for a wide range of biomedical and technological applications due to their tunable optical properties, water solubility, biocompatibility, and functional surface chemistry. This review critically examines established purification methods, including chromatography, centrifugation, dialysis, and syringe filtration, focusing on their efficiency, limitations, and impact on the structural and functional integrity of PL-CNMs. The importance of removing fluorescent impurities and byproducts is underscored, as such impurities can significantly affect performance and safety in clinical settings.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in large-scale energy storage. Graphite anodes are pivotal for commercial LIBs, yet lithium plating remains a critical bottleneck, especially in thick electrodes (≥3 mAh cm). Due to lithium plating, there is a trade-off between rate capability and lifespan, making it challenging to improve both simultaneously.

A key challenge is achieving controlled and precise nanopatterning to unlock tailored functionalities. This work uses a direct laser writing method to introduce a near-field-mediated nanopatterning technique that delivers ≈10-30 nm lateral and sub-5 nm vertical modification on graphene under ambient conditions.
