Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease, which may lead to high morbidity and mortality. Currently, the clinical treatment strategy for AS is administering drugs and performing surgery. However, advanced therapy strategies are urgently required because of the deficient therapeutic effects of current managements. Increased number of energy conversion-based organic or inorganic materials has been used in cancer and other major disease treatments, bringing hope to patients with the development of nanomedicine and materials. These treatment strategies employ specific nanomaterials with specific own physiochemical properties (external stimuli: light or ultrasound) to promote foam cell apoptosis and cholesterol efflux. Based on the pathological characteristics of vulnerable plaques, energy conversion-based nano-therapy has attracted increasing attention in the field of anti-atherosclerosis. Therefore, this review focuses on recent advances in energy conversion-based treatments. In addition to summarizing the therapeutic effects of various techniques, the regulated pathological processes are highlighted. Finally, the challenges and prospects for further development of dynamic treatment for AS are discussed.

Chemical depolymerization of lignin is a non-selective process that often generates a wide distribution of product compounds, denoted herein as lignin breakdown products (LBPs). To address this limitation, we developed a hybrid lignin conversion process that employs a lignin-first catalytic approach on biomass and subsequent microbial upgrading. A Pd/C catalyst was used for reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) of poplar biomass, and Rhodococcus opacus PD630 (R.

Membranes with specific pore sizes are widely used in molecular separation, ion transport, and energy conversion. However, the molecular understanding of structure-property performance in membrane science has been an urgent and long-standing problem. A promising but challenging solution lies in the fine-tuning of the membrane microstructure and properties to control membrane performance.

Article Synopsis
- Tetrabutylammonium (TBA) salt of hexacyano-substituted cyclopropane dianion (Cp(CN) ) is developed using a simple two-step method and shows promise as a high-voltage n-type organic cathode for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs).
- Adding tetrabutylammonium triflate (TBAOTf) to the electrolyte helps reduce dissolution problems, improving the battery's cycling stability.
- The Cp(CN) cathode achieves a high discharge voltage of 1.43 V and maintains 85% capacity after 1000 cycles, demonstrating its potential effectiveness in energy storage applications through a reversible two-electron redox process.

Magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) a strong candidate to set off the second-generation energy storage boom due to their double charge transfer and dendrite-free advantages. However, the strong coulombic force and the huge diffusion energy barrier between Mg and the electrode material have led to need for a cathode material that can enable the rapid and reversible de-insertion of Mg. So far, researchers have found that the sulfur-converted cathode materials have a greater application prospect due to the advantages of low price and high specific capacity, etc.

Neutrophilic superhalide-anion-triggered chalcogen conversion-based Zn batteries, despite latent high-energy merit, usually suffer from a short lifespan caused by dendrite growth and shuttle effect. Here, a superhalide-anion-motivator reforming strategy is initiated to simultaneously manipulate the anode interface and Se conversion intermediates, realizing a bipolar regulation toward longevous energy-type Zn batteries. With ZnF chaotropic additives, the original large-radii superhalide zincate anion species in ionic liquid (IL) electrolytes are split into small F-containing species, boosting the formation of robust solid electrolyte interphases (SEI) for Zn dendrite inhibition.
