Nanoparticle-assembled vanadium dioxide (VO2) films have been easily prepared with the assistance of cetyltrimethylammonium vanadate (CTAV) precursor which exhibits self-assembly properties. The obtained VO2 film has a micro/nano hierarchical porous structure, so its visible-light transmittance is significantly improved (∼25% increased compared to continuous film). The VO2 particle density as well as the film porosity can be facilely controlled by adjusting experimental parameters such as dip-coating speed. Accordingly, film optical properties can also be tuned to a large extent, in particular the visible transmittance (Tvis) and near-infrared switching efficiency (ΔTnir). These VO2 nanoparticle-assembled films prepared by this novel method provide a useful model to research the balance between Tvis and ΔTnir.

The designability and high reactivity of nanotechnology provide strategies for antitumor therapy by regulating the redox state in tumor cells. Here, we synthesize a kind of vanadium dioxide nanoparticle encapsulated in bovine serum albumin and containing disulfide bonds (VSB NPs) for photothermal-enhanced ferroptosis and pyroptosis effects. Mechanism studies show that disulfide bonds can effectively consume overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment, leading to a decrease in glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activity.

Metasurfaces have exhibited excellent capabilities in controlling main characteristics of electromagnetic fields. Thus, a lot of significant achievements have been attained in many areas especially in the fields of hologram and near-field imaging. However, some of these designs are implemented in a manner of interleaved subarrays that complicates the design and makes them difficult to achieve integration.

Vanadium dioxide (VO) is a phase transition material that undergoes semiconductor-to-metal transition at the temperature of about 68 °C. This extraordinary feature triggered intensive research focused on the controlled synthesis of VO. In this study, we introduce and investigate an original linker- and solvent-free strategy enabling the production of highly porous VO nanoparticle-based films.

Vanadium dioxide (VO) has attracted significant attention in aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) owing to their desirable theoretical specific capacity originated from multiple electrons transfer reaction and special crystal structure. However, sluggish electrochemical kinetics leads to inferior electrochemical storage performance. Herein, rich vanadium vacancies were introduced in tunnel VO to boost Zn diffusion, increasing charge storage capacity and lengthen lifespan.
