IF 51.7 1区 化学 Q1 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-04-11 DOI: 10.1038/s41570-025-00704-8

The hybridization of short nucleic acid strands is a remarkable spontaneous process that is foundational to biotechnology and nanotechnology and plays a crucial role in gene expression, editing and DNA repair. Decades of research into the mechanism of hybridization have resulted in a deep understanding of its thermodynamics, but many questions remain regarding its kinetics and dynamics. Recent advances in experiments and molecular dynamics simulations of nucleic acids are enabling more direct insight into the structural dynamics of hybridization, which can test long-standing assumptions regarding its mechanism. In this Review, we summarize the current state of knowledge of hybridization kinetics, discuss the barriers to a molecular description of hybridization dynamics, and highlight the new approaches that have begun uncovering the dynamics of hybridization and the duplex ensemble. The kinetics and dynamics of hybridization are highly sensitive to the composition of nucleic acids, and we emphasize recent discoveries and open questions on the role of nucleobase sequence and chemical modifications. This Review summarizes the current state of knowledge of DNA and RNA oligonucleotide hybridization kinetics, discusses new insights into the dynamics of hybridization and the duplex, and highlights strategies to probe hybridization at a deeper molecular level.
核酸短链杂交是一种显著的自发过程,是生物技术和纳米技术的基础,在基因表达、编辑和DNA修复中起着至关重要的作用。几十年来对杂化机理的研究使人们对其热力学有了深刻的认识,但在动力学和动力学方面仍存在许多问题。核酸实验和分子动力学模拟的最新进展使我们能够更直接地了解杂交的结构动力学,这可以检验长期以来关于其机制的假设。在这篇综述中,我们总结了杂化动力学的现状,讨论了杂化动力学分子描述的障碍,并强调了已经开始揭示杂化动力学和双系系综的新方法。杂交的动力学和动力学对核酸的组成高度敏感,我们强调最近的发现和关于核碱基序列和化学修饰作用的开放问题。

Multifaceted nature of defect tolerance in halide perovskites and emerging semiconductors 卤化物钙钛矿和新兴半导体中缺陷容忍度的多面性
IF 51.7 1区 化学 Q1 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-04-07 DOI: 10.1038/s41570-025-00702-w

Lead halide perovskites (LHPs) have shot to prominence as efficient energy-conversion materials that can be processed using cost-effective fabrication methods. A reason for their exceptional performance is their crystallographic defect tolerance, enabling long charge-carrier lifetimes despite high defect densities. Achieving defect tolerance in broader classes of materials would impact on the semiconductor industry substantially. Considerable efforts have been made to understand the origins of defect tolerance, so as to design stable and nontoxic alternatives to LHPs. However, understanding defect tolerance in LHPs is far from straightforward. This Review discusses the models proposed for defect tolerance in halide perovskites, evaluating the experimental and theoretical support for these models, as well as their limitations. We also cover attempts to apply these models to identify materials beyond LHPs that could exhibit defect tolerance. Finally, we discuss the experimental methods used to understand defects in mixed ionic–electronic conductors, as well as the important information that is necessary for a deeper understanding, in order to develop improved models that enable the design of defect-tolerant semiconductors. Defect tolerance is a key factor behind the exceptional optoelectronic properties of lead halide perovskites, but it is not well understood. This Review discusses the models for defect tolerance and what has been learnt in generalizing these models to lead-free, stable materials.
卤化铅钙钛矿(LHPs)作为一种高效的能量转换材料,可以使用成本效益高的制造方法进行加工。其优异性能的一个原因是其晶体缺陷容忍度,尽管高缺陷密度,仍能实现长载流子寿命。在更广泛的材料类别中实现缺陷容忍度将对半导体工业产生重大影响。为了设计出稳定、无毒的lhp替代品,人们已经做出了相当大的努力来了解缺陷耐受的起源。然而,理解lhp中的缺陷容忍度远非易事。本文讨论了目前提出的卤化物钙钛矿缺陷容限模型,评估了这些模型的实验和理论支持,以及它们的局限性。我们还介绍了应用这些模型来识别可能表现出缺陷容忍度的lhp以外的材料的尝试。最后,我们讨论了用于理解混合离子-电子导体中缺陷的实验方法,以及深入理解所必需的重要信息,以便开发改进的模型,使设计耐缺陷半导体成为可能。

Supramolecular approaches for the treatment of hypoxic regions in tumours 治疗肿瘤缺氧区的超分子方法
IF 51.7 1区 化学 Q1 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-04-04 DOI: 10.1038/s41570-025-00705-7

Supramolecular chemistry provides a range of ‘weak’ intermolecular interactions that allow drugs and prodrugs to self-assemble. In the complex biological setting of blood and tumours, these interactions must be stable enough for efficient and selective drug delivery to the tumour site, but weak enough to allow the release of the cytotoxic load. The non-covalent nature of supramolecular interactions enables the detachment of smaller (pro)drug monomers that can penetrate cancer cells differently to the original nanoparticles. Hypoxic tumours show low oxygen levels due to poor vascularization, which poses challenges for drug delivery and generates biological resistances. Supramolecular building blocks specifically designed for hypoxic tumours offer targeted activation of prodrug self-assemblies, enhancing effectiveness against hypoxic cancer cells and hypoxic regions in tumours. This Review explores how supramolecular chemistry can improve (pro)drug delivery and activation in hypoxic tumours. Hypoxic tumours present considerable challenges in cancer treatment owing to their specific chemistry, biology and physics, which leads to resistances to conventional therapies. This Review explores innovative strategies based on supramolecular chemistry to overcome these obstacles and discusses future research directions that might help translating supramolecular approaches to the clinics.
超分子化学提供了一系列“弱”分子间相互作用,使药物和前药能够自组装。在血液和肿瘤的复杂生物学环境中,这些相互作用必须足够稳定,以便有效和选择性地将药物递送到肿瘤部位,但又必须足够弱,以允许释放细胞毒性负荷。超分子相互作用的非共价性质使得更小的(原)药物单体能够脱离癌细胞,与原始纳米颗粒不同。缺氧肿瘤由于血管化不良而表现出低氧水平,这给药物递送带来了挑战,并产生了生物耐药性。专为缺氧肿瘤设计的超分子构建块提供靶向激活前药自组装,增强对缺氧癌细胞和肿瘤缺氧区域的有效性。这篇综述探讨了超分子化学如何在缺氧肿瘤中改善(促进)药物传递和激活。

Exploiting chemical bonding principles to design high-performance thermoelectric materials 利用化学键原理设计高性能热电材料
IF 38.1 1区 化学 Q1 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-03-25 DOI: 10.1038/s41570-025-00695-6

Thermoelectric materials offer unique opportunities to convert otherwise wasted thermal energy into useful electrical energy. Many of the traditional thermoelectric materials, such as bismuth telluride and lead telluride, contain scarce and toxic elements. This has motivated the search for new high-performance materials containing readily-available and environmentally-less-damaging elements. Numerous advances in the development of high-performance thermoelectric materials exploit fundamental chemical-bonding principles. Much of the thermoelectric literature lies at the interface of chemistry, physics and materials science. In this Review, progress in the design of high-performance materials is discussed in terms of ideas that are familiar in chemistry. This includes the influence of concepts such as bonding heterogeneity, covalency, polarizability, lone pairs and different bonding models, including multi-centre, metallic and iono-covalent archetypes. In this way, we seek to present aspects of this diverse field of research in terms that are accessible to the chemistry community. Many of the advances in high-performance thermoelectric materials can be related to fundamental chemical-bonding principles. Application of concepts including bonding models, lone pairs, bonding heterogeneity, multi-centre bonding and polarizability to the development of advanced thermoelectric materials are discussed here.
热电材料提供了独特的机会,将原本浪费的热能转化为有用的电能。许多传统的热电材料,如碲化铋和碲化铅,都含有稀缺和有毒的元素。这激发了人们对新型高性能材料的探索,这些材料含有容易获得的、对环境损害较小的元素。高性能热电材料的许多进展都利用了基本的化学键合原理。很多关于热电的文献都是化学、物理和材料科学的交叉点。本文从化学中熟悉的概念出发,讨论了高性能材料设计的进展。这包括诸如键非均质性、共价、极化、孤对和不同的键模型(包括多中心、金属和离子共价原型)等概念的影响。通过这种方式,我们试图以化学社区可以访问的术语来呈现这个多样化研究领域的各个方面。

Charge-transfer dynamics in S-scheme photocatalyst s型光催化剂中的电荷转移动力学
IF 51.7 1区 化学 Q1 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-03-17 DOI: 10.1038/s41570-025-00698-3

Natural photosynthesis represents the pinnacle that green chemistry aims to achieve. Photocatalysis, inspired by natural photosynthesis and dating back to 1911, has been revitalized, offering promising solutions to critical energy and environmental challenges facing society today. As such, it represents an important research avenue in contemporary chemical science. However, single photocatalytic materials often suffer from the rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, resulting in poor performance. S-scheme heterojunctions have emerged as a general method to enhance charge transfer and separation, thereby greatly improving photocatalytic efficiencies. This Perspective delves into the electron transfer dynamics in S-scheme heterojunctions, providing a comprehensive overview of their development and key characterization techniques, such as femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Kelvin probe force microscopy. By addressing a critical research gap, this work aims to trigger further understanding and advances in photo-induced charge-transfer processes, thereby contributing to green chemistry and the United Nations sustainable development goals. This Perspective presents the developments of S-scheme heterojunctions, including their origin, formation mechanism, material design, driving forces for charge-carrier transfer, application and future developments. In particular, it introduces the characterization methods used to study ultrafast charge-transfer dynamics.
自然光合作用代表了绿色化学所要达到的顶峰。受自然光合作用的启发,光催化可以追溯到1911年,现在已经重新焕发活力,为当今社会面临的关键能源和环境挑战提供了有希望的解决方案。因此,它代表了当代化学科学的一条重要研究途径。然而,单一的光催化材料往往存在光生电子与空穴快速复合的问题,导致其性能较差。s型异质结已成为一种增强电荷转移和分离的常用方法,从而大大提高了光催化效率。本展望深入研究了s型异质结中的电子转移动力学,提供了其发展和关键表征技术的全面概述,如飞秒瞬态吸收光谱,原位辐照x射线光电子能谱和开尔文探针力显微镜。通过解决一个关键的研究缺口,这项工作旨在引发对光诱导电荷转移过程的进一步理解和进展,从而为绿色化学和联合国可持续发展目标做出贡献。
