Developing wearable supercapacitors (SCs) with high stretchability, arbitrary deformability, and antifreezing ability is still a challenge. In the present work, an ultrahigh-ionic-conductivity, antifreezing poly(amidoxime)-polyzwitterion (PAO--PSBMA) hydrogel electrolyte is fabricated by grafting PSBMA in PAO. Owing to the abundant hydrophilic and high ionic adsorption capacity of amidoxime groups in PAO and zwitterion groups in PSBMA, the as-prepared PAO--PSBMA hydrogel can facilitate the dissociation of lithium salt and exhibit an ultrahigh ionic conductivity of 29.

Polymeric micelle has emerged as an efficient implement to overcome the shortcomings of conventional cancer chemotherapy due to its superior solubility of hydrophobic drugs and less side effects of drugs. However, insufficient dilution resistance and ordinary therapeutic effect severely restrict the further translation of current drug-loaded polymeric micelles. Here, we showed that well-defined G-Fn (n = 5, 9, 13) polymeric micelles possessed excellent capabilities as a drug carrier in light of high drug loading content, high stability and precise drug release combined with wonderful endocytosis efficiency to tumors.

Despite numerous efforts, the mechanism behind multicolor photoluminescence (PL) in graphene quantum dots (GQDs) is still controversial. A deep insight into the origin of the multicolor emissions in GQDs is quite necessary for modulating their luminescence to facilitate the better use of this fluorescent material. Herein, GQDs with amino, carboxyl, and ammonium carboxylate groups were synthesized.
