This work reports access to localized self-assembly of molecular hydrogelator at water–water interfaces for microfluidic-assisted continuous fabrication of supramolecular microcapsules in an all-aqueous environment using the microfluidic technique. These microcapsules can serve as biomimetic carriers to load enzymes, enabling enzymatic growth of supramolecular...

A 0D-2D Bi nanoparticles/rGO composite with interfacial Bi-C bonding is fabricated through a ball-milling and thermal reduction process. The rGO in the composites shows versatility such as alleviating the volume expansion of Bi during potassiation, restraining the aggregation of Bi nanoparticles, as well as promoting the interfacial charge transfer,...

Ti3C2/Mo4/3B2-x superlattice is synthesized via electrostatic self-assembly. The built-in electric field in the superlattice structure formed by the difference of work function between Ti3C2 and Mo4/3B2-x allows the redistribution of charge near the Mo sites, which optimizes the adsorption of different oxygen species on the Mo sites and finally accelerates...

Maximizing the photo-thermal conversion efficiency remains a research hotspot in this field. In this work, inspired by the photosynthesis of helical grass, a helical micropillar type solar absorber made in graphene-based composite sheets is used for solar thermal conversion, demonstrating the significant potential in practical applications of solar...

A π-conjugated azido scaffold insulated by covalently linked permethylated α-cyclodextrin moiety is designed and synthesized. The 3D insulation structure provides ample space, enabling efficient azido conversion in surface Huisgen cycloaddition while preventing detrimental intermolecular interactions. This approach proved successful in both electrocatalytic...

A unique semi-coherent phase interface, characterized by low lattice mismatch, ensures high carrier mobility while reducing the lattice thermal conductivity at low and medium temperatures of the matrix. Coupled with the dynamic doping effect of Cu, the electrical and thermal transport properties of the n-type PbSe samples are comprehensively enhanced....
