We report here on dual shape transformations of the same thermo-responsive hybrid hydrogel sheet under irradiation of a laser with two different wavelengths (808 nm and 450 nm). By etching the silver nanoprisms in the sheet to silver nanodiscs by using chloride ions (Cl), two areas with distinct light extinction properties are integrated in a single sheet. The conversion of photon energy to thermal energy in local areas by the silver nanoprisms or nanodiscs under laser irradiation with an appropriate wavelength heats up the sheet locally and causes a local volumetric shrinkage, and hence a volumetric mismatch in different areas in the sheet.

Macrophages are plastic and play a key role in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. In cancer progression, macrophages also take part in all processes, from initiation to progression, to final tumor metastasis. Although energy deprivation and autophagy are widely used for cancer therapy, most of these strategies do not target macrophages, resulting in undesired effects and unsatisfactory outcomes for cancer immunotherapy.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS) has been demonstrated as a promising non-precious metal electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However the efficiency of the HER falls short of expectations due to the large inert basal plane and poor electrical conductivity. In order to activate the MoS basal plane and enhance the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity, two strategies on the hybrid MoS/graphene, including intrinsic defects and simultaneous strain engineering, have been systematically investigated based on density functional theory calculations.

Singlet oxygen (O) as an excited electronic state of O plays a significant role in ubiquitous oxidative processes from enzymatic oxidative metabolism to industrial catalytic oxidation. Generally, O can be produced through thermal reactions or the photosensitization process; however, highly selective generation of O from O without photosensitization has never been reported. Here, we find that single-atom catalysts (SACs) with atomically dispersed MN sites on hollow N-doped carbon (M/HNC SACs, M = Fe, Co, Cu, Ni) can selectively activate O into O without photosensitization, of which the Fe/HNC SAC shows an ultrahigh single-site kinetic value of 3.

A balance between activity and stability is greatly challenging in designing efficient metal nanoparticles (MNPs) for heterogeneous catalysis. Generally, reducing the size of MNPs to the atomic scale can provide high atom utilization, abundant active sites, and special electronic/band structures, for vastly enhancing their catalytic activity. Nevertheless, due to the dramatically increased surface free energy, such ultrafine nanostructures often suffer from severe aggregation and/or structural degradation during synthesis and catalysis, greatly weakening their reactivities, selectivities and stabilities.

Hydrogen peroxide (HO) plays essential roles in various physiological and pathological processes. The electrochemical hydrogen peroxide reduction reaction (HPRR) has been recognized as an efficient approach to HO sensing; however, the HPRR has always suffered from low tolerance against the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), resulting in poor selectivity of the HPRR-based sensing platform. In this study, we find that the electrochemical HPRR occurs preferentially compared to the ORR when isolated Cu atoms anchored on carbon nitride (Cu/CN) are used as a single-atom electrocatalyst, which is theoretically attributed to the lower energy barrier of the HPRR than that of the ORR on a Cu/CN single-atom catalyst (SAC).
