Herein, a one-pot wet-chemical route was used to prepare well-defined dendritic core-shell gold@gold-palladium nanoflowers supported on reduced graphene oxide (Au@AuPd NFs/rGO), using 2, 4-dihydroxypyridine (2, 4-DHP) asa new stabilizer and structure-director. Their morphology, size, composition, and crystal structure were characterized by a set of characterization techniques. Control experiments demonstrated that the molar ratio of the metal precursors and the dosage of 2,4-DHP play essential roles in this synthesis. The growth mechanism of dendritic core-shell Au@AuPd nanoflowers was investigated in details. The synthesized branched architectures exhibited enlarged electrochemically active surface area (ECSA), improved catalytic properties, enhanced stability and durability toward glycerol oxidation in alkaline media when compared to the home-made AuPd nanocrystals (NCs)/rGO and AuPd NCs/rGO, along with commercially available Pd/C catalyst.

Background: African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious disease, and the core-shell protein p34 is an important antigen that can induce immune responses. The use of ferritin nanoparticles for the orderly and repetitive display of antigens on the particle surface can improve the immunogenicity of subunit vaccines. Here, we used the SpyCatcher/Spytag system to conjugate ferritin nanoparticles with the p34 protein (F-p34).

Multifunctional materials have attracted tremendous attention in intelligent and interactive devices. However, achieving multi-dimensional sensing capabilities with the same perovskite quantum dot (PQD) material is still in its infancy, with some considering it currently challenging and even unattainable. Drawing inspiration from neurons, a novel multifunctional CsPbBr/PDMS nanosphere is devised to sense humidity, temperature, and pressure simultaneously with unique interactive responses.

Since formaldehyde oxidation reaction (FOR) can release H, it is attractive to construct a bipolar hydrogen production system consisting of FOR and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Although copper-based catalysts have attracted much attention due to their low cost and high FOR activity, the performance enhancement mechanism lacks in-depth investigation. Here, an amorphous-crystalline catalyst of amorphous nickel hydroxide-coated copper dendrites on copper foam (Cu@Ni(OH)/CF) is prepared.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), known for their exceptional in situ encapsulation and precise release capabilities, are emerging as pioneering drug delivery systems. This study introduces a hypoxia-responsive COF designed to encapsulate the chemotherapy drug gambogic acid (GA) in situ. Bimetallic gold-palladium islands were grown on UiO-66-NH (UiO) to form UiO@Au-Pd (UAPi), which were encapsulated with GA through COF membrane formation, resulting in a core-shell structure (UAPiGC).

Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are one of the most important stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment, playing a pivotal role in the development, recurrence, metastasis, and immunosuppression of cancer and treatment resistance. Here, we developed a core-shell biomimetic nanosystem termed as FAP-C NPs. This system was comprised of 4T1 extracellular vesicles fused with a FAP single-chain antibody fragment to form the biomimetic shell, and PLGA nanoparticles loaded with calcipotriol as the core.
