摘要The efficiency of reactive oxygen species(ROS)generation is the most critical factor controlling the performance of photocatalytic water treatment.Dissolved organic matter(DOM),a ubiquitous and photoedox-active constituent in natural and waste waters,may significantly interfere with the rate and pathways of ROS generation.Here,we show that modulating exposed facets of nano-catalysts to regulate the interactions between DOM and nanomaterials can boost ROS production.Specifically,electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and probe test demonstrate that the production rate of superoxide radical anion(O2•-)in a system containing{001}-faceted TiO2nanocrystals and humic/fulvic acid far exceeds those in the systems containing TiO2or DOM alone.In comparison,the synergy between{101}-faceted nano-TiO2and humic/fulvic acid is much less prominent.Enhanced production of singlet oxygen(1O2)is also observed for{001}-faceted nano-TiO2in the presence of DOM,whereas 1O2production by{101}-faceted TiO2is subdued by DOM.Moreover,the{001}-faceted material is much more robust against the inhibition effect of DOM on hydroxyl radical(•OH)production.Thermogravimetric analysis reveals distinct DOM adsorption capacities between the materials.By spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses,we further elucidate the structure-activity relationship between exposed facets and rate-limiting factors in ROS generation.Exposed facets regulate the specific mode of interaction between TiO2 and DOM,which subsequently determines the charge carrier separation,adsorption of O2,as well as quenching of photogenerated holes and ROS.The findings provide deeper insights for improving the efficacy of photocatalytic water treatment through facet engineering of semiconductors.

摘要Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease are characterized by pathological protein misfolding,persistent neuroinflammation,and progressive synaptic deterioration.Nanoscale therapeutic platforms offer a versatile strategy for simultaneously suppressing pathogenic protein aggregation and modulating glial hyperactivation,thereby addressing the multifactorial nature of neurodegenerative pathology.Engineered Au NPs,carbon-based nanodots,and related constructs with negatively charged surfaces exhibit high affinity for amyloidogenic peptides,thereby limiting amyloid-β or tau fibrillization,while photothermal strategies using graphene or gold nanorods induce localized thermal disruption of preformed aggregates,enhancing their disassembly.In parallel,functionalized nanocarriers facilitate braintargeted delivery of anti-inflammatory agents by leveraging receptor-mediated transcytosis or biomimetic cell membrane-camouflaging strategies,attenuating proinflammatory cytokines and promoting autophagic clearance.In vitro and in vivo models demonstrate integrated therapeutic benefits,including attenuation of plaque deposition,preservation of neuronal integrity,and recovery of cognitive performance.Despite remaining challenges in large-scale synthesis and long-term safety,evolving nanotechnologies offer a flexible and integrated platform capable of disrupting the pathogenic cycle linking protein misfolding,neuroinflammation,and disease progression.

摘要Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized oncology by harnessing the immune system to recognize and eliminate malignant cells,yet its clinical efficacy is often limited by tumor immune evasion,low immunogenicity,and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment(TME).Recent advances in nanotechnology offer opportunities to overcome these barriers by precisely modulating both tumor and immune landscapes.In this review,we summarize three representative strategies developed by our group:(i)surface-adaptive nanomaterials(SANs),which respond dynamically to physiological and tumor-specific cues to enable prolonged systemic circulation,efficient barrier translocation,and controlled intratumoral activation;(ii)antigen-engineering nanoplatforms,designed to enhance tumor immunogenicity via delivering exogenous antigens to antigen-presenting cells(APCs),inducing tumor cells to re-express or re-generate,or anchoring immunogenic epitopes onto tumor surfaces,thereby promoting T cell activation and converting“cold”tumors into“hot”ones;and(iii)TME-modulating nanomaterials,which alleviate immune suppression via targeted delivery of inhibitors,neutralization or degradation of suppressive cytokines,and gene-level reprogramming of tumors to restore effector immunity.Together,these approaches provide a multifaceted framework for reinvigorating antitumor immune responses and offer mechanistic insights and design principles for the next generation of bioactive polymeric nanomaterials with potential translational application in cancer immunotherapy.

摘要Agricultural systems increasingly face interacting abiotic and biotic stresses driven by climate change and soil degradation.Plant performance under such conditions is determined by coordinated networks of functional traits governing resource acquisition,allocation,and defense.These traits also structure plant-associated microbiomes,whose activities influence nutrient cycling,stress buffering,and disease suppression.This review synthesizes current evidence that agricultural nanomaterials enhance crop stress resilience primarily by reprogramming plant functional trait networks and,through them,modulating microbiome dynamics.We analyze how nanomaterial physicochemical properties including size,surface chemistry,dissolution behavior,and redox activity determine their bioavailability and interaction with plant tissues.These interactions influence key trait categories such as root architecture,hydraulic regulation,nutrient acquisition efficiency,photosynthetic performance,and antioxidant capacity.Trait-level modulation underpins improved tolerance to drought,salinity,temperature extremes,heavy metal toxicity,and pathogen pressure.Furthermore,nanomaterial-induced shifts in plant traits reshape rhizosphere and endophytic niches,reinforcing beneficial microbial functions including nutrient mobilization,hormone regulation,pathogen suppression,and soil structural stabilization.This review proposes a trait-centric framework in which nanomaterials act as regulators of plant functional organization rather than simple growth stimulants.Future research should prioritize trait-based screening,microbiome functional monitoring,and predictive nano–ecological modeling to enable safer and more effective nanotechnology deployment for sustainable crop production.

摘要This review systematically examines the application of nanomaterials in adjuvant therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)following surgical resection,with the aim of synergistically inhibiting tumor recurrence and driving functional liver regeneration via a 3R paradigm(removing residual tumor cells;remodeling the immune microenvironment;and repairing liver function).This article begins by analyzing the clinical challenges associated with treating HCC on the basis of global epidemiological data and the molecular characteristics of residual micrometastases after surgery.The concept of“precision space-time intervention"is then introduced,and the design strategies and clinical development of nanomaterials are explored,including targeting,biomimetic,sustained release and degradable designs.Furthermore,this review focuses on the postresection imbalance between tumor recurrence and tissue regeneration in the HCC microenvironment,elucidating the multiscale regulatory mechanisms of liver repair,such as cell differentiation,angiogenesis regulation,maintenance of the cellular redox balance,metabolic reprogramming,and modulation of the inflammatory microenvironment.The temporal dynamics of these mechanisms are emphasized,and the pivotal role of nanomaterials in this context is clarified.The key findings of this review indicate that a multimodal platform with nanomaterials as functional units can integrate diagnosis,hemostasis,antitumor activity and regeneration promotion,thereby overcoming the limitations of monotherapy,which cannot effectively cover the entire process of liver repair.This review breaks through the static intervention model of traditional adjuvant therapy,providing theoretical evidence for the development of multimodal sequential therapeutic nanoplatforms and outlining a clinical translation pathway from the validation ofmolecular mechanisms to GMP-standard production.
摘要Ferrite nanomaterials have garnered significant interest due to their exceptional magnetic,electrical,and thermal properties,making them indispensable in high-frequency electronics,data storage,biomedical applications,and electromagnetic shielding.This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the transformative role of praseodymium(Pr3+)as a dopant in ferrite nanomaterials,emphasizing its impact on structural modifications,magnetic behavior,and technological advancements.The incorporation of Pr3+ions induces lattice distortions,alters cation distribution,and enhances magnetocrystalline anisotropy,resulting in tunable coercivity,saturation magnetization,and Curie temperature.Systematic investigations reveal that Pr3+doping improves structural stability by suppressing oxygen vacancies and minimizing secondary phase formation while simultaneously influencing grain size,morphology,and phase purity.The tailored magnetic properties achieved through Pr3+substitution enhance performance in applications such as high-density magnetic storage,targeted drug delivery,magnetic hyperthermia,and microwave absorption.Furthermore,this review highlights promising research directions,including dopant concentration optimization,advancements in synthesis techniques,and the development of multifunctional Pr3+-doped ferrite nanocomposites.By bridging the gap between experimental findings and theoretical insights,this work lays a foundation for the continued exploration of rare-earth-modified ferrite nanomaterials,paving the way for next-generation functional materials with superior performance and broad application potential.

摘要Metal-doped carbon-based nanomaterials(M-CNM)play a strategically significant role in next-generation precision antibacterial and antitumor therapies,as they integrate synergistic photothermal ablation,catalytic reactive oxygen species(ROS)generation,and multimodal imaging capabilities.However,their clinical translation is hindered by unclear in vivo metabolic pathways,uncontrollable metal-ion leakage,suboptimal photothermal conversion efficiency in deep tissues,and the lack of dopant-specific efficacy-toxicity guidelines.This review elaborates the in vivo metabolic pathways and photothermal conversion mechanisms of carbon-based nanomaterials(CNM)with intrinsic photothermal properties in detail.It systematically analyzes how doping different metallic elements regulates their photothermal performance,delves into their antibacterial and antitumor efficacy,and discusses their potential applications and existing limitations in relevant therapeutic fields.This work provides unique insights into the design and construction of M-CNM in diverse biological applications,offering theoretical support for advancing their development and clinical translation in precision antibacterial and antitumor treatments,while also emphasizing the direction of future optimization to address key challenges for clinical application.

摘要Second-harmonic spectroscopy is a powerful tool for imaging,sensing,and in situ monitoring,with a broad range of applications in the characterization and analysis of nanomaterials.However,its sensitivity is limited by the inherently low nonlinear conversion efficiency of nanomaterials.This study demonstrates a dual-comb secondharmonic generation(SHG)platform that achieves unprecedented sensitivity through the integration of femtosecond dual-comb spectroscopy with plasmonic array-enhanced SHG from ZnO nanocrystal films.The system enables single-spectrum acquisition within 2.16μs.When combined with microscopy,the platform performs SHG distribution imaging across 16×81 spatial points within 2.8 ms of sampling time,resolving polarization-dependent features at 1.0μm spatial resolution.This high-speed,ultrasensitive spectroscopic approach enhances the detection of nanoscale optoelectronic properties.

摘要In doped two-dimensional nanomaterials,magnetism is one of the important physical properties.By introducing foreign doping atoms or molecules,the electronic structure of the material can be effectively regulated,leading to changes in magnetic behavior.Currently,magnetic property prediction has achieved considerable results with the help of traditional CNNs,but there are still obvious limitations:(1)The feature extraction of dopant sites is constrained by fixed receptive fields,making it difficult to characterize local structural perturbations in the vicinity of dopant atoms and their spatial influence propagating to surrounding regions;(2)CNNs lack the capability to model long-range dependencies between non-neighboring atoms and their chemical bonds,thereby weakening the representation of long-range interactions within the material.In this study,we propose Multi-Scale and Attention ConvNeXt(MSA-ConvNeXt)based on multi-scale convolution and attention mechanisms,which consists of the following two core modules:(1)The Multi-scale Convolution Attention Block(MCAB),which models local structural perturbations around dopant atoms and their spatial effects via parallelmulti-scale convolutions.It uses a serial channel and spatial attention mechanism to adaptively recalibrate multi-scale features,highlighting the response of doping related regions and enhancing the ability to express dopant-site information;(2)The Visual Geometry Group–Swin Transformer(VGG-Swin)architecture extracts structural features of dopant sites using VGG convolutions to prevent the attenuation of structural information during global relationship modeling.Subsequently,the Swin Transformer is introduced,which uses the self-attention mechanism to dynamically weight and globally associate features at different spatial locations,in order to depict the long-range correlations between non-neighboring atoms and their chemical bonds with the dopant-site.Experiments conducted on a doped two-dimensional nanomaterial dataset constructed from the CMR database demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms existing methods in terms of accuracy and F1-score.Specifically,MSA-ConvNeXt achieves an accuracy of 91.66%,representing an improvement of 1.65%over the next best model.In addition,all experimental results are averaged over multiple independent runs(with five different random seeds),demonstrating the stability and reliability of themodel’s performance.Ablation studies further validate the effectiveness of each module design.

摘要Prussian blue/Prussian blue analogues(PB/PBAs)are widely used in electrochemistry and materials science fields,such as electrochemical energy storage,catalysis,water purification,and electromagnetic wave absorption,owing to their 3D open-framework structure,tunable composition,and large specific surface area.However,the co-precipitation method,which is most suitable for large-scale production of PB/PBAs,often leads to the formation of numerous crystal defects and severe lattice distortion,which significantly affects the structural stability of PB/PBAs.To obtain high-crystallinity PB/PBAs with targeted properties,precise synthesis considering various detailed conditions is especially needed.Herein,this review comprehensively summarizes the fundamental structure composition,key factors in synthesis,and applications in the electrochemistry of PB/PBAs.Unlike previous reports,this review elucidates the relationship between the physicochemical properties of PB/PBAs and their structural composition,with a particular focus on revealing the mechanisms and significance of specific preparation methods during the synthesis process,including reactant concentration,chelating agent,aging,atmosphere,temperature,and drying conditions,for achieving the precise fabrication of PB/PBAs nanomaterials.As PB/PBAs gradually become materials for multidimensional applications,we urge greater attention to the unique properties of PB/PBAs that are sustained by high crystallinity and stable crystal structures.This will effectively ensure the maximization of their advantages in practical applications.

摘要Nanomaterials have garnered recognition for their notable surface effects and demonstration of superior mechanical properties.Previous studies on the surface effects of nanomaterials,employing the finite element method,often relied on simplified twodimensional models due to theoretical complexities.Consequently,these simplified models inadequately represent the mechanical properties of nanomaterials and fail to capture the substantial impact of surface effects,particularly the curvature dependence of nanosurfaces.This study applies the principle of minimum energy and leverages the Steigmann-Ogden surface theory of nanomaterials to formulate a novel finite element surface element that comprehensively accounts for surface effects.We conducted an analysis of the stress distribution and deformation characteristics of four typical 2D and 3D nanomaterial models.The accuracy of the developed surface element and finite element calculation method was verified through comparison with established references.The resulting finite element model provides a robust and compelling scientific approach for accurately predicting the mechanical performance of nanomaterials.
