We prepared stable colloidal suspension graphene in aqueous medium by surface modification of graphene with 4-benzenediazonium sulfonate. The sulfonate group on graphene surface interacts with water, exhibits well dispersibility and which prevents the aggregation even at neutral pH. This dispersion shows stability for three months and facile to produce films. Using such a modified graphene dispersion, transparent conductive film (TCF) has been fabricated on glass substrate by spin coating method. At appropriate concentration, the film exhibits an excellent optoelectrical property with resistivity of 1.1 kΩ with the transparency of 89% at the wavelength of 550 nm. Further, we also demonstrated the mechanical, thermal, and optoelectrical properties of prepared films.

Conductive hydrogel strain sensors demonstrate extensive potential in artificial robotics, human-computer interaction, and health monitoring, owing to their excellent flexibility and biocompatibility. Wearable strain sensors for real-time monitoring of human activities require hydrogels with self-adhesion, desirable sensitivity, and wide working range. However, balancing the high sensitivity and a wide working range remains a challenge.

Architecting Prussian blue analogue (PBA) cathodes with optimized synergistic bimetallic reaction centers is a paradigmatic strategy for devising high-energy sodium-ion batteries (SIBs); however, these cathodes usually suffer from fast capacity fading and sluggish reaction kinetics. To alleviate the above problems, herein, a series of early transition metal (ETM)-late transition metal (LTM)-based PBA (Fe-VO, Fe-TiO, Fe-ZrO, Co-VO, and Fe-Co-VO) cathode materials have been conveniently fabricated via an "acid-assisted synthesis" strategy. As a paradigm, the FeVO-PBA (FV) delivers a superb rate capability (148.

Coacervation based on liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has been widely used for the preparation of artificial protocells and to mimic the dynamic organization of membrane-free organelles. Most complex synthetic coacervates are formed through electrostatic interactions but cannot withstand high ionic strength conditions (>0.1 M).

Common treatment approaches for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are associated with severe side effects due to the unfavorable biodistribution profile of potent chemotherapeutics. Here, we explored the potential of TNBC-targeting aptamer-decorated porous silicon nanoparticles (pSiNPs) as targeted nanocarriers for TNBC. A "salt-aging" strategy was employed to fabricate a TNBC-targeting aptamer functionalized pSiNP that was highly colloidally stable.

Microrobots are poised to transform biomedicine by enabling precise, noninvasive procedures. However, current magnetic microrobots, composed of solid monolithic particles, present fundamental challenges in engineering intersubunit interactions, limiting their collective effectiveness in navigating irregular biological terrains and confined spaces. To address this, we design hierarchically assembled microrobots with multiaxis mobility and collective adaptability by engineering the potential magnetic interaction energy between subunits to create stable, self-reconfigurable structures capable of carrying and protecting cargo internally.
