Nanostructured metal oxides with controlled particle morphology are considered to be highly effective for heterogeneous catalysis owing to their unique surface, acid-base, and redox properties. Here, we report the synthesis of shape-controlled Co3O4 nanocatalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles to their corresponding aromatic derivatives. Various Co3O4 nanostructured catalysts, namely spherical-like (Co3O4-SP) and cubes (Co3O4-C), along with randomly shaped nanoparticles (Co3O4-NP), were prepared via template-free hydrothermal methods and thoroughly characterized using several analytical techniques. Among them, the Co3O4-SP material exhibited superior catalytic performance in the oxidative dehydrogenation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ), achieving 95% conversion of THQ with 100% selectivity to quinoline, which is due to the optimum amount of Co3+ species (Co3+/Co2+ = 0.515) and acid sites (0.192 mmol g⁻¹), along with the oxygen vacancy sites. In contrast, the Co3O4-NP and Co3O4-C catalysts gave 72% and 51% conversions of THQ, respectively, although 100% quinoline selectivity was achieved in both cases. The substrate scope was further extended to diverse N-heteroaromatic compounds (10 examples), delivering good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. Notably, the Co3O4-SP catalyst exhibited excellent reusability, with negligible loss in its catalytic activity over five cycles. The evaluated green chemistry metrics further demonstrated the sustainability of the developed Co3O4-SP-catalyzed oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles.

具有可控颗粒形态的纳米结构金属氧化物由于其独特的表面、酸碱和氧化还原性质，被认为对多相催化非常有效。在这里，我们报道了形状控制的Co3O4纳米催化剂的合成，用于n -杂环氧化脱氢成相应的芳香衍生物。采用无模板水热法制备了球形（Co3O4- sp）、立方体（Co3O4- c）以及随机形状的纳米颗粒（Co3O4- np）等多种Co3O4纳米结构催化剂，并利用多种分析技术对其进行了全面表征。其中，Co3O4-SP材料在1,2,3,4-四氢喹啉（THQ）的氧化脱氢反应中表现出优异的催化性能，由于Co3+的量（Co3+/Co2+ = 0.515）和酸位（0.192 mmol g⁻¹）以及氧空位的数量最优，THQ的转化率为95%，选择性为100%。相比之下，Co3O4-NP和Co3O4-C催化剂的THQ转化率分别为72%和51%，尽管这两种催化剂的喹啉选择性都达到了100%。底物范围进一步扩展到不同的n -杂芳烃化合物（10个例子），在温和的反应条件下获得了良好的收率。值得注意的是，Co3O4-SP催化剂具有良好的可重复使用性，在5个循环中其催化活性的损失可以忽略不计。评价的绿色化学指标进一步证明了所开发的co3o4 - sp催化n -杂环氧化脱氢的可持续性。

Meniscus-confined electrodeposition (MCED) is an emerging micro-nano-fabrication method. It has attracted much attention due to its low cost, simple process and ability to freely fabricate complex three-dimensional structures with high aspect ratios. However, in the MCED process, the meniscus morphology (confined electrochemical reaction micro-region) is susceptible to the interference of external factors (environmental humidity and variation in the distance between the probe tip and the deposited microstructure), thereby affecting the deposition continuity and stability. To address this challenge, we developed a meniscus morphology regulation method that controls the pressure inside glass probes through tail-end pressurization to adjust the radius of meniscus profile. Simulation and experimental results show that by adjusting the solution pressure (ranging from -5 kPa to 5 kPa), the meniscus width can be controlled within 0.6 to 1.5 times its initial value (the width under no applied pressure). The most notable achievement is that a copper pillar array with a height of 33 μm and a width ranging from 7 to 15 μm is successfully fabricated by adjusting the diameter of the meniscus profile during the deposition process. The results show that the proposed method not only improves the continuity and stability of electrochemical deposition, but also provides a new idea for the preparation of complex three-dimensional structures, which effectively expands the application scenarios of MCED.

半月板约束电沉积（MCED）是一种新兴的微纳米加工方法。它以其成本低、工艺简单、能够自由制作高纵横比的复杂三维结构而备受关注。然而，在MCED过程中，半月板形貌（受限电化学反应微区）容易受到外界因素（环境湿度、探针尖端与沉积微观结构之间距离的变化）的干扰，从而影响沉积的连续性和稳定性。为了解决这一挑战，我们开发了一种半月板形态调节方法，通过尾端加压来控制玻璃探头内的压力，以调节半月板轮廓的半径。仿真和实验结果表明，通过调节溶液压力（-5 kPa ~ 5 kPa），可以将半月板宽度控制在初始值（无压力下宽度）的0.6 ~ 1.5倍。最显著的成果是在沉积过程中通过调整半月板轮廓的直径，成功地制备了高33 μm、宽7 ~ 15 μm的铜柱阵列。结果表明，该方法不仅提高了电化学沉积的连续性和稳定性，而且为复杂三维结构的制备提供了新的思路，有效地拓展了MCED的应用场景。

Lattice strain engineering has emerged as a powerful and versatile strategy for modulating the electronic and geometric structures of electrocatalysts at the atomic scale. By finely tuning interatomic distances and orbital interactions, lattice strain directly influences adsorption energetics and reaction kinetics, offering an effective pathway to overcome intrinsic activity and stability limitations in key electrochemical processes. This review systematically summarizes the fundamental principles of lattice strain effects, including electronic and geometric modulation mechanisms and their correlation with the d-band center theory. We highlight the main approaches for strain induction, such as orbital symmetry matching, antibonding state occupancy, charge redistribution, and adsorbate-induced surface relaxation. We further summarize quantitative relationships between strain and catalytic activity, including volcano plots, strain-ΔG* correlations, and strain-TOF dependencies, distinguishing between compressive and tensile strain effects across various reactions such as HER, OER, ORR, CO₂RR, and NRR. Special attention is given to how controlled strain optimizes intermediate adsorption energies in accordance with the Sabatier principle, thereby enhancing catalytic activity, selectivity, and durability. Finally, we discuss the remaining challenges in controlling strain magnitude, stability, and scalability, and outline perspectives for integrating strain engineering with other design principles. This review establishes lattice strain as a unifying and predictive framework for rational catalyst design, paving the way for high-performance electrocatalysts in sustainable energy conversion and storage technologies.

The controlled formation of high-pressure silicon polymorphs beneath an oxide layer offers a new paradigm for subsurface phase engineering. We systematically compared sharp Berkovich and spherical nanoindentation on 285 nm SiO2-capped Si(100) using Raman spectroscopy and cross-sectional electron microscopy to reveal how contact geometry and oxide constraint govern phase transformation. Sharp indentation initiates R8 (rhombohedral)/BC8 (body-centered-cubic) phase formation at low loads (42 mN), but the high stress concentration promotes early oxide fracture and radial cracking, limiting the continuous crystalline volume. In contrast, spherical indentation delays observable transformation until ∼92 mN, distributing stress more uniformly. Crucially, we identify a "critical loading window" for optimization. While moderate spherical loads (∼200 mN) facilitate highly ordered crystalline recovery with intact interfaces, excessive loads (∼500 mN) exceed the oxide's confinement capacity, favoring collapse into a disordered amorphous state and localized fracture due to the significant volumetric expansion of the intermediate β-Sn phase. Our results confirm that the oxide modulates stress-relaxation kinetics without altering the fundamental 11-12 GPa transformation threshold. These findings explicitly define the operational limits for dielectric confinement, providing a versatile pathway for engineering subsurface crystalline phases with enhanced carrier mobility and sub-bandgap optical absorption for next-generation silicon photonic and sensing platforms.

氧化层下高压硅多晶的可控形成为地下相工程提供了新的范例。我们使用拉曼光谱和横截面电子显微镜系统地比较了285 nm二氧化硅覆盖的Si（100）上的尖锐Berkovich和球形纳米压痕，以揭示接触几何形状和氧化物约束如何影响相变。在低载荷（42 mN）下，尖锐的压痕会形成R8（菱形体）/BC8（体心立方）相，但高应力浓度会促进早期氧化物断裂和径向开裂，限制了连续结晶体积。相比之下，球形压痕将可观察到的转变延迟到~ 92 mN，使应力分布更均匀。至关重要的是，我们确定了一个“关键加载窗口”进行优化。虽然适度的球形载荷（~ 200 mN）有利于高度有序的晶体恢复和完整的界面，但过量的载荷（~ 500 mN）超过了氧化物的约束能力，有利于崩溃成无序的非晶态和局部断裂，因为中间β-Sn相的显著体积膨胀。我们的研究结果证实，氧化物在不改变基本的11-12 GPa转变阈值的情况下调节应力松弛动力学。这些发现明确地定义了介电约束的操作极限，为下一代硅光子和传感平台提供了一种具有增强载流子迁移率和亚带隙光吸收的工程亚表面晶体相的通用途径。

Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), recognized for their safe aqueous electrolyte and low-cost, abundant zinc resources, offer significant promise for applications in energy storage. MnO2 is a promising cathode material due to its environmental friendliness and low cost, but it faces challenges related to low conductivity and structural instability. Herein, a single-element (Ce) heterovalent doping strategy was proposed to boost the capacity and structural stability of δ-MnO2 (Ce-MnO2). Ce4+ can preferentially occupy the Mn sites with the same and stable valence state to Mn4+, effectively suppress structural collapse during charge and discharge processes. Ce3+ could contribute to improved electronic conductivity through aliovalent substitution leading to charge compensation and altered the local chemical environment by creating oxygen vacancies and optimizing Mn-O interactions. Moreover, it can improve the specific surface area and provide active sites, thereby promoting electrochemical activity and facilitating superior ion transport. Consequently, The Ce-MnO2 cathode achieved a high specific capacity of 374.5 mAh g−1, with 90% capacity retention after 1000 cycles. When further applied in powering a PNIPAM hydrogel actuator, Zn//MnO2 ion batteries exhibited potential for actuator-driven technologies.

锌离子电池（zib）以其安全的水电解质和低成本、丰富的锌资源而闻名，在储能领域的应用前景广阔。二氧化锰具有环境友好、成本低等优点，是一种极具发展前景的正极材料，但其电导率低、结构不稳定等问题仍面临挑战。本文提出了单元素（Ce）杂价掺杂策略来提高δ-MnO2 （Ce- mno2）的容量和结构稳定性。Ce4+能优先占据与Mn4+价态相同且稳定的Mn位，有效抑制充放电过程中的结构坍塌。Ce3+可以通过价取代导致电荷补偿来改善电子导电性，并通过创造氧空位和优化Mn-O相互作用来改变局部化学环境。此外，它可以提高比表面积，提供活性位点，从而提高电化学活性，促进优越的离子运输。因此，Ce-MnO2阴极获得了374.5 mAh g−1的高比容量，在1000次循环后保持了90%的容量。当进一步应用于PNIPAM水凝胶致动器时，Zn//MnO2离子电池显示出致动器驱动技术的潜力。

Stable, red-emissive formamidinium lead triiodide (FAPbI 3 ) nanorods have been synthesized by modification of conditions for the synthesis of FAPbI 3 nanocubes. The bimodal PL decays with components of 9 ns and 30 ns are ascribed to trap-assisted radiative recombination. Transient absorption spectroscopy at different pump wavelengths and fluences indicates the involvement of phonon bottleneck effect in hot carrier relaxation. Global analysis of transient absorption data yields four components. The two fastest ones (0.5-3.7 ps) are ascribed to two different hot carrier cooling pathways. The tens of picosecond component is attributed to ground state bleach associated with band-edge transition. The longest component (>1 ns, negative signal corresponding to stimulated emission, Stokes shifted with respect to the band gap) is attributed to radiative recombination involving mid-gap trap states. Hence, a detailed understanding of the interplay of hot carrier cooling and trapping in the exciton dynamics, leading to the population of radiative trap states, is obtained.

通过改进fapbi3纳米立方的合成条件，合成了稳定的红发射型三碘化甲醛铅（fapbi3）纳米棒。双峰PL衰减的分量分别为9ns和30ns，是由阱辅助的辐射复合引起的。不同泵浦波长和不同影响下的瞬态吸收光谱表明，声子瓶颈效应参与了热载子弛豫。瞬态吸收数据的全局分析产生了四个组成部分。两个最快的（0.5-3.7 ps）归因于两种不同的热载流子冷却途径。数十皮秒分量归因于与带边跃迁相关的基态漂白。最长的分量（> 1ns，对应于受激发射的负信号，相对于带隙的斯托克斯位移）归因于涉及中隙阱态的辐射复合。因此，详细了解了热载子冷却和捕获在激子动力学中的相互作用，从而导致辐射捕获态的分布。

Flexible nanostructured sensors that combine electrical conductivity, mechanical robustness, and multimodal recognition capability are crucial for next-generation wearable electronics and intelligent human-machine interfaces. This study reports a dual-mode flexible sensor based on a bilayer PEDOT(MXene)-PVDF(HFP) composite membrane (denoted as PMPH), rationally designed via electrochemical polymerization and solvent-driven interface regulation. Through dual-dopant optimization and dimethyl sulfoxide-induced structural rearrangement, the PEDOT chains exhibit a transition from benzenoid to quinoid configurations, while MXene nanosheets provide a highly conductive and mechanically resilient framework. The resulting PMPH membrane displays superior conductivity, large stretchability (up to 1200%), and stable pressure and strain responses. The dual-mode flexible sensor not only distinguishes stretching and pressing behaviors but also achieves an intelligent classification accuracy of 92.13% through a machine-learning-assisted data recognition model.This study demonstrates a simple yet efficient strategy to couple conductive polymer-MXene hybrids with flexible fluoropolymers, bridging materials design and intelligent sensing toward advanced wearable devices.
