Chiral nanomaterials hold significant promise in the field of cancer nanotheranostics. Their potential stems from the systematic integration of chirality, a fundamental stereochemical property, into the structural and functional design of nanomaterials. By mimicking and leveraging the inherent stereochemical environment of biological systems, this strategy provides an effective pathway to enhance the selectivity and specificity of cancer diagnosis and therapy. This review elucidates the pivotal role of chirality in nanomaterial construction, with a focused discussion on the controllable assembly methods of chiral nanomaterials, their stereoselective biological effects, and their multimodal applications in cancer diagnosis and treatment. We analyze the mechanisms of chirality transfer and amplification from the molecular to the nanoscale, dissect the regulatory role of chiral nanomaterials in in vivo delivery processes and bio-interface interactions, and summarize recent advances in their use for diagnostics and therapy. Finally, we present a perspective on the current key challenges and future directions in this field, aiming to provide a theoretical foundation for the development of efficient and safe cancer nanotheranostic systems.

The Golgi apparatus, as an essential membrane-bound organelle in cells, is responsible for the modification, packaging, and transport of proteins and lipids, playing a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Recent studies have shown that the Golgi apparatus is not only a hub for the transport of proteins and lipids but also actively participates in stress responses, autophagy, and apoptosis. Golgi stress plays a critical role in various pathological conditions, especially in inflammation, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Prolonged or severe stress can lead to Golgi dysfunction, structural breakdown, and protein accumulation, ultimately triggering cell death and loss of function. To study the dynamic changes of Golgi stress, molecular fluorescent probe technology provides a real-time, non-invasive tool that targets specific chemical environments or proteins within the Golgi, enabling efficient localization and imaging. In this review, we systematically summarize the reported Golgi-targeted fluorescent probes, covering the recognition and labeling mechanisms of different targeting groups, as well as their applications in biological imaging and related diseases. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and opportunities these probes face from a perspective of diagnostic and therapeutic integration.

Efficient conversion of solar energy into chemicals is regarded as one of the most promising technologies to alleviate the energy crisis and environmental issues. Smart semiconductor photocatalytic systems (SSPS) have garnered significant attention due to their potential in sustainable energy production, green chemical industry, and environmental remediation. Herein, the ‘smart’ nature of SSPS refers to their abilities to adjust reaction pathways, synergize various effects, and integrate multiple functions, thereby enhancing catalytic performance and surpassing the ordinary composite semiconductor photocatalytic systems (CSPS). Among the various nanomaterials explored to date, Carbon dots (CDs) have emerged as a promising “element” to design SSPS due to their unique physical and chemical properties, e.g., abundant functional groups, structural designability, superior optical properties, low toxicity, high stability, and outstanding electron-transfer ability. In this review, we summarize the latest advancements that utilize CDs to design highly efficient SSPS to address interdisciplinary challenges especially in water splitting, organic synthesis, CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), and pollutant degradation. We especially highlight the roles of CDs in adjusting reaction pathways, synergizing various effects, and integrating multiple functions with up-to-date examples and applications. In the last part, we discuss the challenges people are facing and look ahead to the future expectations, along with viable suggestions for the future development of CDs-based SSPS.

Uranyl ions (UO₂2+), significant nuclear contaminants, pose severe risks to ecosystems and human health. Although conventional detection techniques such as radiochemical analysis and instrumental methods provide high accuracy, they are often hindered by large equipment size and prolonged analysis time, limiting their suitability for rapid environmental screening and emergency scenarios. In response, optical sensing technologies have attracted significant attention due to their high sensitivity and signal visibility. Among them, organic frameworks—including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs)—offer suitable platforms for constructing high-performance UO₂2+ optical sensors, owing to their high surface areas, tunable pores, and tailorable optical properties. This review systematically summarizes advances from 2021 to 2025 in UO₂2+ optical sensors based on such materials, with a focus on underlying sensing mechanisms. In fluorescence sensing, “turn-off” designs based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), inner filter effect (IFE), and charge transfer (CT) mechanisms are detailed, along with refined “turn-on” and self-calibrating ratiometric sensors. Beyond fluorescence, the review also addresses colorimetric sensing via nanozyme activity, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing using organic frameworks as co-reaction promoters, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques enhanced by substrate preconcentration. While laboratory-scale detection has reached high sensitivity and selectivity, real-world applications remain challenging due to material instability in complex media, slow mass transfer, and difficulties in device integration. Future development should prioritize stable composites, multimodal sensing platforms, and AI-assisted systems to enable intelligent, on-site, real-time UO₂2+ monitoring.

Silicon-based anodes are promising candidates for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical capacity (4200 mAh g−1). However, significant volume expansion (∼400%) during lithiation/delithiation leads to electrode degradation, including particle pulverization, electrical isolation and unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation. Binders, as critical components, play a pivotal role in maintaining structural integrity and mitigating these challenges. This review comprehensively examines the mechanisms of lithium storage and failure in silicon anodes, focusing on the interactions between binders and silicon, including van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds and chemical bonds (covalent and ionic). We categorize binders by composition and structure, highlighting their roles in stress dissipation, conductivity enhancement and SEI stabilization. Advanced functionalities such as self-healing, flame resistance and electrochemical performance optimization are discussed. Furthermore, computational approaches like density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for binder design are explored. Finally, future directions emphasize multifunctional binders with robust mechanical properties, high conductivity and scalable production for practical applications. This review provides valuable insights into the development of high-performance binders to advance silicon anode technology in LIBs.
硅基阳极具有较高的理论容量（4200 mAh g−1），是下一代锂离子电池（LIBs）的理想选择。然而，在锂化/去硫过程中，显著的体积膨胀（~ 400%）会导致电极降解，包括颗粒粉碎、电隔离和不稳定的固体电解质间相（SEI）形成。粘合剂作为关键部件，在保持结构完整性和减轻这些挑战方面发挥着关键作用。本文全面研究了锂在硅阳极中的储存和失效机制，重点研究了粘结剂与硅之间的相互作用，包括范德华力、氢键和化学键（共价键和离子键）。我们根据组成和结构对粘合剂进行了分类，强调了它们在应力消散、电导率增强和SEI稳定方面的作用。讨论了自愈、耐燃和电化学性能优化等先进功能。此外，本文还探讨了密度泛函理论（DFT）和分子动力学（MD）模拟等粘结剂设计的计算方法。最后，未来的方向是强调具有坚固的机械性能，高导电性和可扩展生产的实际应用的多功能粘合剂。这一综述为高性能粘结剂的发展提供了有价值的见解，以推进锂离子电池中的硅阳极技术。

Metal carbonyl complexes provide unique platforms for probing metal–ligand bonding, electronic structures, and catalytic mechanisms. This review focusses on recent advances in a series of novel homometallic and heterobimetallic carbonyl complexes studied by infrared–vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations. This combined approach enables accurate determination of vibrational characteristics, electron detachment energies, and bonding motifs, allowing clear differentiation between σ-donation, π-back-donation, and metal–metal interactions. Investigations of group-3 homoleptic carbonyls identified the first neutral confinement-free species: Sc(CO)7 and M(CO)8 (M = Y, La). Spectroscopic observation of neutral OTiCCO(CO)ₙ (n = 2–5) served as the fresh evidence for efficient CO cleavages and concomitant CC formations. Studies of heterobimetallic carbonyl complexes MFe(CO)4− (M = Ti, V, Cr, Si, Ge, Sn) and MNi(CO)n− (M = Sc, Y, Ti, Zr, Hf, V; n = 3–5) indicated coordination preferences dictated by both cluster size and metal identity, along with associated charge redistribution and CO-activation pathways, all of which bear direct relevance to surface catalysis. Collectively, these studies established the well-defined clusters as functional molecular analogues of catalytically active sites, effectively bridging fundamental bonding concepts with applications in CO/CO2 utilization, syngas chemistry, and energy-conversion processes.

Rare-earth ions, known for their distinctive optical, magnetic, and electrical characteristics have been studied extensively as active dopants in inorganic crystal lattices since the 18th century. The incorporation of foreign ions is crucial in modifying the properties of nanomaterials, influencing their crystal structures, morphology, and functionalities. Different sensitizers exhibit unique energy transfer pathways as well as excitation wavelengths to various activators, resulting in distinct upconversion luminescence (UCL) characteristics. In this review, we emphasize that creating a variety of functional nanomaterials for real-world applications requires a deeper comprehension of the critical role of rare-earth doping. We will also delve into the progress made in rare-earth based nanomaterials, the impact of coordination and non-coordination materials chemistry in the preparation of lanthanide (Ln3+) doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). The principles of UCNPs process in Ln3+ doped nanoparticles like energy transfer, energy migration conversion, excited-state absorption, photon avalanche and cooperative sensitization upconversion nanoparticles along with the perception of luminescence/fluorescence resonance energy transfer (LRET/FRET) mechanism. Furthermore, the essential nanomaterials for FRET investigation along with detailed study on the upconversion luminescence based on the role of lanthanide-sensitizer, their mechanisms and the exchange of energies from sensitizers to their respective activators have been thoroughly discussed. Besides, their potential applications in latent finger print (LFP), anti-counterfeiting/security as well as emerging frontiers and future outlook for research are discussed.

Photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction has become a pivotal strategy for regulating the global carbon cycle, promoting carbon neutrality, and generating sustainable fuels. As a class of microporous-mesoporous hybrid materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently gained prominence as efficient photoactive catalysts for CO2 conversion, owing to their exceptional CO2 adsorption capabilities and unique structural characteristics. Notably, bimetallic MOFs demonstrate superior photocatalytic performance compared to their monometallic analogs in CO2 reduction reactions, primarily due to synergistic effects between dual metal centers that enhance both selectivity and activity. This review provides a systematic overview of recent advancements in bimetallic MOFs-based photocatalysts for CO₂ reduction. First, the primary synthetic approaches for these materials are summarized. Subsequently, the fundamental design principles are discussed, with particular focus on the critical roles of organic ligands and metal components. Furthermore, the mechanistic advantages of dual-metal systems in photocatalytic processes are elucidated. Finally, the current challenges are identified and future research directions in this field are proposed. Overall, this comprehensive review aims to offer valuable guidance for the development of next-generation bimetallic MOFs-based photocatalysts to achieve efficient and selective CO₂ conversion, thereby contributing to sustainable energy solutions.

With the rapid advancement of imaging technologies, non-invasive biological imaging with high spatiotemporal resolution has become a pivotal area of research in life sciences and precision medicine. Conventional intensity-based fluorescence and phosphorescence imaging often yields quantitatively unreliable results due to variations in probe concentration and tissue-induced light scattering. In contrast, fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) and phosphorescence lifetime imaging (PLIM) have emerged as robust and reliable quantitative imaging modalities, offering high sensitivity to microenvironmental alterations, strong resistance to optical interference, and consistent data quantification. FLIM enables the precise investigation of subcellular dynamics through nanosecond-scale fluorescence decay from the singlet excited state, whereas PLIM exploits phosphorescence emission from the triplet state, with lifetimes ranging from microseconds to seconds, to achieve deep-tissue imaging with significantly improved signal-to-noise ratios. The complementary temporal resolutions of FLIM and PLIM together provide a multidimensional imaging framework that supports comprehensive biological and biomedical investigations. However, despite their respective advantages, most current studies focus on the isolated application of either technique, with limited systematic comparisons between FLIM and PLIM. This review presents an integrated analysis of the fundamental principles and recent technological advancements in FLIM and PLIM, explores the molecular design strategies that influence probe lifetime modulation, highlights their applications in monitoring cellular microenvironments and organelle communication, and critically assesses the current challenges and future prospects of these imaging technologies, with the ultimate objective of facilitating their translation from basic research into clinical practice.

Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gradually emerged as a research hotspot due to their highly tunable nanoporous structures and functional diversity. After over three decades of development, MOF-related research was honored with the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. MOFs demonstrate broad application prospects across multiple fields, particularly excelling in energy storage and conversion. As the global transition to green energy advances, battery technology as a key enabler demands higher material performance. Although MOFs hold significant potential for battery application, their inherently poor conductivity limits further advancement. To address this challenge, researchers have explored diverse strategies, among which the composite construction of multifunctional materials by combining MOFs with carbon-based materials has emerged as an effective approach. Such materials integrate the structural designability of MOFs with the excellent conductivity of carbon material, yielding synergistic effects that significantly enhance electrochemical performance. Currently, systematic reviews on the application of MOFs/carbon composites in batteries remain scarce. Based on recent research advances, beginning with a dimensional classification of carbon materials, this review analyzes the synthesis strategies of composites and their mechanisms for improving electrode performance. It then systematically examines the applications of these composites across representative battery systems, offering insights for future material design and energy storage device development.
