There has been much recent progress in the development of photothermal agents (PTAs) for biomedical and energy applications. Synthesis of organic PTAs typically involves noble metal catalysts and high temperatures. On the other hand, photochemical synthesis, as an alternative and green chemical technology, has obvious merits such as low cost, energ...

The recently discovered carbon allotrope GDY possesses rich acetylenic bonds and unique pore structures, prompting GDY as an ideal candidate, tuning its electronic structure by introducing heteroatoms, broadening its usage in catalysis, energy storage and other fields. In this paper, we review different approaches to introduce heteroatoms into GDYs...

With the emergence of stretchable/wearable devices, functions, such as sensing, energy storage/harvesting, and electrical conduction, should ideally be carried out by a single material, while retaining its ability to withstand large elastic deformations, to create compact, functionally-integrated and autonomous systems. A new class of trimodal, str...
UV resistant and photocatalytic TiO2/carbon nanotube nanohybrid ([email protected]) fibers are developed by incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) onto CNT fibers (CNTFs). This process densifies the CNTFs, and increases the thermal stability and structural integrity of the resulting [email protected] under UV exposure. As a result, the [email protected] have mechanica...
As a new emerging carbon material, graphdiyne (GDY) presents abundant sub-nanoscale porous structure, special electronic properties, and can be achieved at relatively low temperature with a wet-chemical approach. Therefore, with those excellent properties, GDY has drawn great attentions in various research fields such as catalysis, energy conversio...

Single-domain antibodies, derived from camelid heavy antibodies (nanobodies) or shark variable new antigen receptors, have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to their extremely versatile nature and the opportunities they offer for down-stream modification. Discovered more than three decades ago, these 120-amino acid (similar to 15-k...
A highly sensitive hierarchical electrochemical sensing nanostructures have been successfully synthesized by hydrothermal and chemical deposition methods using Au nanoparticles (AuNPs)-functionalized Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) derived oxide nickel nanosheets (NiO NSs) on nickel foam ([email protected] NSs/NF). The morphological characterization of AuNP...
