The photothermal properties of nanoparticles (NPs), that is, their ability to convert absorbed
light into heat, have been studied since the end of the last century, mainly on gold NPs. In …

Rapid capacity fading and poor safety originating from the shuttle effect of S cathodes and
the dendritic growth of Li anodes hinder the practical applications of lithium-sulfur batteries …

Light‐assisted antibacterial therapy is a promising alternative to antibiotic therapy due to the
high antibacterial efficacy without bacterial resistance. Recent research has mainly focused …

Biological ion channels regulate the ion flow across cell membrane via opening or closing of
the pores in response to various external stimuli. Replicating the function of high ion gating …

Antifouling loose nanofiltration membranes are prepared for effective fractionation of dyes
and salts by the construction of a porous cyclodextrin polymer layer on membrane substrate …

Membrane separation processes are prevalent in industrial wastewater treatment because
