We report the synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) dendritic Au nanowires (DNWs) with diameters of 100-200 nm in an aqueous solution of long-chain amidoamine derivative (C18AA), which acted as both capping and reducing agent, and the preparation of large 2D DNWs with diameters of 400-700 nm by seeded growth of the original DNWs. The seeded growth method in the presence of C18AA enables the fabrication of novel neuron-shaped Au nanostructures consisting of two DNWs dangling from both ends of an ultrathin Au nanowire.

Aqueous zinc ion batteries exhibit great prospects due to their low cost and high safety, while their lifespan is limited by severe dendritic growth problems. Herein, we develop an anti-dendrite hot-pressing separator interlayer through a mass-producible hot-pressing strategy, by spreading metal-organic framework (MOF) precursor on nonwoven matrix followed by a simple hot-pressing process. The in situ modification of MOF crystals on fiber surface processes abundant nitrogenous functional groups and high specific surface area (190.

Rechargeable lithium-sulfur batteries (LiSBs) assembled with earth-abundant and safe Li anodes are less prone to form dendrites on the surface, and sulfur-containing cathodes offer considerable potential for achieving high energy densities. Nevertheless, suitable sulfur host materials and their interaction with electrolytes are at present key factors that retard the commercial introduction of these batteries. Here we propose a two-dimensional metallic carbon phosphorus framework, namely, 2D CP, as a promising sulfur host material for inhibiting the shuttle effect and improving electronic conductivity in high-performance Li-S batteries.

A Zn-coordinated porphyrinic artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (αSEI) layer, named [Zn]PP-4COO-(Zn), was developed to improve the reversibility of zinc metal plating/stripping in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Inspired by nitrogen-terminating sites of biological molecules coordinating and transporting zinc in zinc metabolic processes, the αSEI layer was designed with zinc ions connecting porphyrinic building blocks to form two-dimensional clathrate sheets and stacking -plane sheets along the -axis to allow N cages to align and form porphyrinic N channels for zinc transport. The [Zn]PP-4COO-(Zn) αSEI layer was Zn-conductive and structurally durable during repeated stripping/plating.

Two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework sheets, in comparison to the 3D analogues, offer potential advantages for intercalation of guest components between the layers, exfoliation/dispersion into solutions, and processing into thin films. As a versatile platform for leveraging organic functions, the 2D Zr(IV)-carboxylate net here features a dendritic Sierpinski tritopic linker with conjugated alkyne branches and a photoactive triphenylamine core. The 2D solid can be easily dispersed in water and many other solvents, resulting in stable and fluorescent suspension for sensing nitro aromatic compounds and Fe ions with high quenching efficiencies and ultralow limits of detection.

Article Synopsis
- - The lymph node is structured into dynamic compartments like T and B zones, which enhance both innate and adaptive immune responses and have led to new insights across various biological and medical fields.
- - The review emphasizes advanced 3D and 4D imaging techniques to study human lymph nodes, highlighting the insights gained from these methods compared to traditional 2D tissue analysis, particularly in understanding immune interactions and lymphoma behavior.
- - Findings show that T cells move faster than B cells and reticulum cells within reactive lymphoid tissue, with variations in cell contact times potentially aiding in lymphoma classification; 4D technology can also play a key role in testing new cancer therapies.
