While the configuration of most metal oxides hollow structures is well established, the synthesis of multinary metal sulfides with complex multi-shelled hollow structures remains in its infancy. Herein, we have developed a facile method to synthesize superhydrophilic CaZnInS double-shelled hollow structures (DSHSs) with the assistance of trisodium citrate bilamellar vesicles, which manifests higher photocatalytic hydrogen generation rate compared with normal CaZnInS single-shelled hollow structures and solid microflowers. Further construction of CdS/CaZnInS S-scheme heterostructures by in situ photodeposition of CdS ultrafine nanoparticles on CaZnInS DSHSs creates an intimate interface coupling and expansive contact region for fast interfacial charge transfer. Consequently, CdS/CaZnInS-5.0 composite exhibits a boosted photocatalytic H evolution of 30.08 mmol h g, which is 2.7 times higher than CaZnInS DSHSs (11.52 mmol h g). Besides, the apparent quantum efficiency of CdS/CaZnInS-5.0 at 370 nm can reach 66.04 %. Moreover, CdS/CaZnInS-5.0 shows good stability for the hydrogen generation reaction. This elaborate design of CdS/CaZnInS-5.0 sheds light on the potential of integrating morphology modulation and S-scheme heterostructures construction with efficient solar energy utilization and optimized charge transfer for catalysis and optoelectronic applications.

This paper presents an 8 × 8-element slot antenna array optimized for 30 GHz band applications, achieving high gain, wide impedance bandwidth, and high efficiency. The array employs a pin/hole-based design, which enables a compact structure and reduces fabrication complexity and cost, as it eliminates the need for electrical contact between its three primary layers: the metal radiating slot plate, a sub-array cavity layer, and a ridge waveguide feed network layer. The corporate feed network is realized through an array of pins and guiding ridges integrated into a metal plate, effectively distributing power to the radiating elements.

(), a prevalent foodborne bacterium, necessitates creating sensitive and rapid detection methods for food safety, with lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) using nanomaterials as signal tracers being particularly effective. Enhancements in performance and sensitivity are not restricted to the material alone, we propose an "integrated stacked" concept, which combines amorphous active sites, hollow morphology for enhanced reflection, and symmetric structure for strong absorption resonance. This approach leads to significant photothermal enhancement (η = 60.

Designing and synthesizing multishelled metallic hollow nanostructures with intragaps and porous shells have received widespread attention for enhancing optical and catalytic properties. However, significant challenges remain in engineering these structures at the nanometer scale. Herein, we employed the galvanic replacement reaction (GRR) method to prepare multimetallic hollow superstructures with 3D cavities and distinct nanometer intragaps.

Metabolite analysis of body fluids is an advanced method for disease diagnosis and status assessment. Laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) has been widely employed for metabolic analysis due to the fast detection speed and simple sample pretreatment. Here, we designed and synthesized hollow mesoporous carbon nanospheres anchored with Ni (HMCSs/Ni) to simultaneously enhance the ionization and thermal desorption processes of the LDI process owing to their hollow and mesoporous structure, large surface area, and abundant Ni-N bonds.

Manganese (Mn)-based materials have been extensively investigated for a wide range of biomedical applications owing to their remarkable catalytic chemistry, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capacity, biodegradability, low toxicity, and good biosafety. In this review, we first elaborate on the catalytic principle of Mn-based nanoenzymes for antitumor and antibacterial therapy, followed by a comprehensive discussion of the interesting structural design engineering strategies used to achieve multi-dimensional Mn-based nanoarchitectures, such as zero-dimensional (0D) nanoparticles, 1D nanotubes, 2D nanosheets, 3D hollow porous Mn ball, and core-shell nanostructures. Moreover, the therapeutic applications of different Mn-based nanoenzymes, including manganese dioxide (MnO)-based nanoenzymes that can trigger catalytic reactions, Mn-doped metal nanoenzymes and Mn-coordinated nanoenzymes that promote hydroxyl/reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and MnO-based micro/nanorobots that can effectively penetrate tumor tissues, are critically reviewed.
