TL;DR: In this article, the authors concentrate on the transduction mechanisms, building blocks of flexible physical sensors, subsequently property optimization in terms of device structures and sensing materials in the direction of practical applications.
Abstract: With the rapid development of human artificial intelligence and the inevitably expanding markets, the past two decades have witnessed an urgent demand for the flexible and wearable devices, especially the flexible strain sensors. Flexible strain sensors, incorporated the merits of stretchability, high sensitivity and skin-mountable, are emerging as an extremely charming domain in virtue of their promising applications in artificial intelligent realms, human-machine systems and health-care devices. In this review, we concentrate on the transduction mechanisms, building blocks of flexible physical sensors, subsequently property optimization in terms of device structures and sensing materials in the direction of practical applications. Perspectives on the existing challenges are also highlighted in the end.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors highlighted the recent contributions in the development of aza-boron-dipyrromethene (aza-BODIPY) based nanomedicines.
Abstract: Cancer phototheranostics, composed of optical diagnosis and phototherapy (including photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy), is a promising strategy for precise tumor treatment. Due to the unique properties of near-infrared absorption/emission, high reactive oxygen species generation, and photothermal conversion efficiency, aza-boron-dipyrromethene (aza-BODIPY), as an emerging organic photosensitizer, has shown great potential for tumor phototheranostics. By encapsulating aza-BODIPY photosensitizers within functional amphiphilic polymers, we can afford hydrophilic nanomedicines that selectively target tumor sites via an enhanced permeability and retention effect, thereby efficiently improving diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy. Herein, in this spotlight article, we attempt to highlight our recent contributions in the development of aza-BODIPY-based nanomedicines, which comprises three main sections: (1) to elucidate the design strategy of aza-BODIPY photosensitizers and corresponding nanomedicines; (2) to overview their photophysical properties and biomedical applications in phototheranostics, including fluorescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and synergistic therapy; and (3) to depict the challenges and future perspectives of aza-BODIPY nanomedicines. It is believed that this Spotlight on Applications article would illuminate the way of developing new aza-BODIPY nanomedicines as well as other organic photosensitizer-based nanomedicines for future clinical translation.

TL;DR: In this article, a thin MFI zeolite layer with a thickness of about 3 μm was formed on hollow fiber substrates fabricated with yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), which exhibited highly selective to ethanol over water.
Abstract: Pure-silica MFI zeolite (silicalite-1) membranes exhibit great potential in the separation of an ethanol/water mixtures. For synthesis of silicalite membranes, however, conventional supports such as α-Al2O3 and mullite have aluminum element leaching out and entering into a zeolite structure, which would reduce the hydrophobicity of the zeolite layer and thus affect the separation performance for ethanol selectivity. In this paper, we prepared silicalite membranes on hollow fiber substrates fabricated with yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) without aluminum. The influence of seed size, synthesis parameters, and substrates was investigated. The as-synthesized membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA), infrared spectrum analysis (IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A thin MFI zeolite layer with a thickness of about 3 μm could be formed on the support, which exhibited highly selective to ethanol over water. A high flux of 7.4 kg m–2 h–1 with the separa...

TL;DR: By controlling the interfacial energy and growth kinetics, a series of Au-on-AuNR hybrid structures are successfully obtained, with the newly grown Au domains being sphere, polyhedron, and branched wire (nanocoral), making them excellent candidates for plasmonic applications.
Abstract: The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of plasmonic nanomaterials is highly dependent on their structures. Going beyond simple shape and size, further structural diversification demands the growth of non-wetting domains. Now, two new dimensions of synthetic controls in Au-on-Au homometallic nanohybrids are presented: the number of the Au islands and the emerging shapes. By controlling the interfacial energy and growth kinetics, a series of Au-on-AuNR hybrid structures are successfully obtained, with the newly grown Au domains being sphere and branched wire (nanocoral). The structural variety allowed the LSPR to be fine-tuned in full spectrum range, making them excellent candidates for plasmonic applications. The nanocorals exhibit black-body absorption and outstanding photothermal conversion capability in NIR-II window. In vitro and in vivo experiments verified them as excellent photothermal therapy and photoacoustic imaging agents.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a cobalt-free parent oxide BaFeO(3-δ) (BF), which lacks long-range oxygen-ion diffusion paths, has surprisingly high electrocatalytic activity for ORR, and suggests that an undoped BF parent oxide can be used as a high-efficiency catalyst for OrR.
Abstract: The widespread application of solid oxide fuel cell technology requires the development of innovative electrodes with high activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at intermediate temperatures. Here, we demonstrate that a cobalt-free parent oxide BaFeO3-δ (BF), which lacks long-range oxygen-ion diffusion paths, has surprisingly high electrocatalytic activity for ORR. Both in situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction analysis on room-temperature powder and transmission electron microscopy on quenched powder are applied to investigate the crystal structure of BF. Despite the lack of long oxygen-ion diffusion paths, the easy redox of iron cations as demonstrated by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and oxygen temperature-programmed desorption and the high oxygen vacancy concentration as supported by iodometric titration and TGA benefit the reduction of oxygen to oxygen ions. Moreover, the electrical conductivity relaxation technique in conjunction with a transient thermogravimetric study reveals very high...
