Article Abstract

NiCo(OH) nanosheets coated CuCoO nanoneedles arrays were successfully designed and synthesized on carbon fabric. The core/shell nanoarchitectures directly served as the binder-free electrode with a superior capacity of 295.6mAhg at 1Ag, which still maintained 220mAhg even at the high current density of 40Ag, manifesting their enormous potential in hybrid supercapacitor devices. The as-assembled CuCoO@NiCo(OH)//AC hybrid supercapacitor device exhibited favorable properties with the specific capacitance as high as 90Fg at 1Ag and the high energy density of 32Whkg at the power density of 800Wkg. Furthermore, the as-assembled device also delivered excellent cycling performance (retaining 91.9% of the initial capacitance after 12,000 cycles at 8Ag) and robust mechanical stability and flexibility, implying the huge potential of present hierarchical electrodes in energy storage devices.

Iron-gallic acid chelate nanoparticles (Fe-GA NPs) have emerged as promising Fenton catalysts and drug carriers in oncology. However, their therapeutic efficacy remains constrained by tumor microenvironment (TME) limitations - suboptimal pH and insufficient endogenous hydrogen peroxide. To overcome these barriers, we engineered an ATP-responsive core-shell nanoarchitecture (GOx@Fe-GA) integrating glucose oxidase (GOx) with Fe-GA coordination networks.

Time-dependent in situ second harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy coupled with extinction spectroscopy is used to monitor the growth dynamics involved in the synthesis of colloidal gold-silver-gold core-shell-shell (Au-Ag-Au CSS) nanoparticles in real time. A stepwise seed-mediated method is applied to grow an outer gold shell onto gold-silver core-shell nanoparticles in aqueous solution, using four sequential additions of chloroauric acid and reducing agents. The first addition results in Au-Ag-Au CSS nanoparticles with a bumpy, urchin-like morphology.

Uncontrolled rapture of prodrug nano-formulation under physiological concentration gradient is a bottleneck in the effective delivery of anticancer drugs to solid tumors in vivo. The present investigation reports macromolecular nano-compartmentalization in single polymer chain micellar nanoparticle (or unimolecular micelle nanoparticle, UMNp) and demonstrates its therapeutic efficacies in pancreatic cancer xenograft mouse model. The UMNp is engineered in a six-arm enzymatic-biodegradable polycaprolactone star-polymer by employing a divergent approach using identical chemical constituents but varying the arms-lengths.

While nanozyme-mediated catalytic therapy holds promise for precision oncology, achieving spatiotemporal control over enzymatic activity and synergistic therapeutic amplification in the biologically favorable second near-infrared window (NIR-II) remains an unmet challenge. In this study, we present a breakthrough in plasmonic heterojunction engineering through the rational design of asymmetric dumbbell-shaped Au nanorod@end-mesoporous Pd architectures that establish a high density of plasmonic hotspots at the mesopore sites. Unlike conventional core-shell configurations (Au@mesoPd) showing negligible NIR-II response, our heterostructure demonstrates a nearly 200% enhancement in peroxidase-like activity under 1064 nm excitation through precisely engineered hot electron dynamics.

Synthesis of high-molecular-weight polypeptides and their block copolymer macromolecular architectures from β-sheet-promoting L-amino acids is still an unresolved problem. Here, an elegant steric hindrance-assisted ring-opening polymerization (SHAROP) strategy is introduced to access β-sheet poly(L-tyrosine) having more than 250 units. The scope of the synthetic methodology is expanded to access unexplored poly(L-tyrosine)-based higher-order β-sheet block copolymer nanoassemblies.
