In general, n-type mesoporous silicon nanowires (mp-SiNWs) are exclusively created by the two-step metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE). This work first reports that one-step MACE (in HF and AgNO3) is also capable of producing the n-type mp-SiNWs, and the developed formula is generally adapted to generate SiNWs by etching n-Si(100) with electrical resistivity over a range of 10(-3)-10(1) Ω·cm. Integrating the contribution of silicon intrinsic properties in the existing MACE mechanism explicitly accounts for the new findings and contradictions with previous studies. The as-generated mesoporous structures emit red light under laser excitation at room temperature. The red-color emission sensitively varies with temperature over a range of 16-300 K, attributed to a temperature-dependent photoluminescent mechanism.

Mass-fraction-optimized heterojunction composites featuring precisely engineered interfaces and mesoporous structures are crucial for improving light absorption, minimizing electron-hole recombination, and boosting overall catalytic efficiency. Herein, highly efficient mesoporous-NiFeO@g-CN heterojunctions were developed by embedding p-type NiFeO nanoparticles (NPs) within n-type porous ultrathin g-CN (p-uCN) nanosheets. The optimized NiFeO@g-CN, loaded with 20 wt % magnetic counterparts, exhibits exceptional photocatalytic methylene blue (MB) degradation, achieving the highest performance in both photocatalytic and photo-Fenton processes with rate constants of 0.

Article Synopsis
- - A multifunctional nanozyme called MMSR-pS-PEG was created by modifying phosphorylated serine on mesoporous MnMoO spheres and loading it with sorafenib (SRF) to overcome limitations of traditional enzyme therapies.
- - This nanozyme exhibits enhanced dual-enzymatic activity that helps convert endogenous hydrogen peroxide (HO) into oxygen and superoxide ions in acidic tumor environments, improving its therapeutic efficacy.
- - The combined effects of SRF and the nanozyme induce ferroptosis in cancer cells by promoting lipid peroxidation and inhibiting glutathione synthesis and associated enzymes, presenting a potential new strategy for effective tumor treatment.

The overuse of antibiotics has caused the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria and even superbugs, which makes it imperative to develop promising antibiotic-free alternatives. Herein, a multimodal antibacterial nanoplatform of two dimensional/two dimensional (2D/2D) mesoporous CoO/BiOCl nanocomposite is constructed, which possesses the effect of "kill three birds with one stone": (1) the use of mesoporous CoO can enlarge the surface area of the nanocomposite and promote the adsorption of bacteria; (2) CoO displays remarkable full-spectrum absorption and photo-induced self-heating effect, which can raise the temperature of CoO/BiOCl and help to kill bacteria; (3) the p-type CoO and n-type BiOCl form a p-n heterojunction, which promotes the separation of photoelectrons and holes, thus producing more reactive oxygen species (ROS) for killing bacteria. The synergism of mesoporous structure, photothermal effect and photocatalytic ROS makes the developed CoO/BiOCl a promising antibacterial material, which shows outstanding antibacterial activity with an inhibition rate of nearly 100 % against Escherichia coli (E.

Controlling interfacial charge transfer behavior of heterojunction is an arduous issue to efficiently drive separation of photogenerated carriers for improving the photocatalytic activity. Herein, the interface charge transfer behavior is effectively controlled by fabricating an unparalleled V-NiWO/PCN heterojunction that is prepared by encapsulating NiWO nanoparticles rich in surface oxygen vacancies (V-NiWO) in the mesoporous polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) nanosheets. Experimental and theoretical investigations show that, differing with the traditional p-n junction, the direction of built-in electric field between p-type NiWO and n-type PCN is reversed interestingly.

Photothermal catalysis, which applies solar energy to produce photogenerated e/h pairs as well as provide heat input, is recognized as a promising technology for high conversion efficiency of CO to value-added solar fuels. In this work, a "shooting three birds with one stone" approach is demonstrated to significantly enhance the photothermal CO reduction over the CsBiBr@CoO (CBB@CoO) heterostructure. Initially, CoO with photoinduced self-heating effect serves as a photothermal material to elevate the temperature of the photocatalyst, which kinetically accelerates the catalytic reaction.
