Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of a hybrid system consisting of PbS nanocrystals (NCs) and a BODIPY dye (BDY) capping ligand was discovered to produce highly efficient dual emissions with tri-n-propylamine as a coreactant. By means of spooling ECL spectroscopy, the strong dual ECL emission peaks of 984 and 680 nm were attributed to the PbS and BDY moieties, respectively, and found to be simultaneous during the light evolution and devolution. The ECL of the PbS was enhanced via NC collisions with the electrode and reached an efficiency of 96% relative to that of Ru(bpy)3(2+), which is the highest among the semiconductor NCs.

Electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) of quinoline provides an eco-friendly and prospective route to achieve the highly value-added generation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ). Co element has been proven to be the efficient catalytic site for ECH of quinoline, but the rational regulation of the electronic structure of active Co site to improve the activity is still a challenge. Herein, the hierarchical core-shell structure consisting of NiCo-MOF nanosheets encapsulated Cu(OH) nanorods (Cu(OH)@CoNi-MOF) is constructed.

The distribution of electrical potentials and current in exogenous electrostimulation has significant impacts on its effectiveness in promoting tissue repair. However, there is still a lack of a flexible, implantable power source capable of generating customizable patterned electric fields for in situ electrostimulation(electrical stimulation). Herein, this study reports a fuel cell patch (FCP) that can provide in situ electrostimulation and a hypoxic microenvironment to promote tissue repair synergistically.

Hydrogel-based solar interfacial evaporators, featuring various channels such as random, unidirectional, and radial array, are considered effective for seawater desalination owing to their porous structure, lower evaporation enthalpy, and controllable water transport capacity. However, each individual array structure has its own strengths and limitations, influencing water transportation, thermal management, and salt rejection. By combining the benefits of each array configuration into a single evaporator, the evaporation performance can be maximized.

Metal halide perovskites are ideal candidates for indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) due to their tunable bandgaps, which allow the active layers to be optimized for artificial light sources. However, significant non-radiative carrier recombination under low-light conditions has limited the full potential of perovskite-based IPVs. To address this challenge, an integration of perylene diimide (PDI)-based sulfobetaines as cathode interlayers (CILs) is proposed and the impact of varying alkyl chain length (from 1,2-ethylene to 1,5-pentylene) between the cationic and the anionic moieties is examined.

The utilization of plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (ELNs) as nanocarriers for oral delivery of bioactives has garnered significant attention. However, their distinctive lipid membrane composition may result in elevated membrane permeability within the gastrointestinal environment, leading to the leakage of carried bioactives. Inspired by the concept of projectile design, Tartary buckwheat-derived ELNs (TB-ELNs) based dual-carriers are fabricated by loading chlorogenic acid (CGA) into the cores and bonding selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) to the lipid membrane.
