Abstract Self-assembling natural drug hydrogels formed without structural modification and able to act as carriers are of interest for biomedical applications. A lack knowledge about gels limits there current application. Here, we report on rhein, a herbal product, which is directly self-assembled into through noncovalent interactions. This hydrogel shows excellent stability, sustained release reversible stimuli-responses. The consists three-dimensional nanofiber network that prevents...
Abstract A new type of multistimuli‐responsive hydrogels cross‐linked by metal ions and biopolymers is reported. By mixing the biopolymer chitosan (CS) with a variety at appropriate pH values, we obtained series transparent stable within few seconds through supramolecular complexation. In particular, CS–Ag hydrogel was chosen as model gelation mechanism revealed various measurements. It found that facile association Ag + amino hydroxy groups in CS chains promoted rapid gel‐network formation....
Abstract It is a challenge to prepare organic electrodes for sodium-ion batteries with long cycle life and high capacity. The highly reactive radical intermediates generated during the sodiation/desodiation process could be critical issue because of undesired side reactions. Here we present durable stabilized α-C intermediate. Through resonance effect as well steric effects, excessive reactivity unpaired electron successfully suppressed, thus developing an electrode stable cycling over 2,000...
In this paper we present a new paradigm for designing hydrogelators that exhibit sharp phase transitions in response to series of disparate stimuli, including oxidation-reduction reactions (redox), guest-host interactions, and pH changes. We have serendipitously discovered ferrocenoyl phenylalanine (Fc-F) monomers aggregate water via rapid self-assembly mechanism form stable, multistimuli hydrogels. comparison other known mono- multiresponsive gelators, Fc-F is unique because its small size,...
Peristaltic crawling, which is the moving mechanism of earthworm-like limbless creatures in narrow spaces, a challenging target to mimic by using soft materials. Here we report an unprecedented hydrogel actuator that enables not only peristaltic crawling motion but also reversing its direction. Our cylindrically processed contains gold nanoparticles for photothermal conversion, thermoresponsive polymer network switching electrical permittivity gel interior, and cofacially oriented 2D...

Ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) has aroused enormous interest in recent years. UOP materials are mainly limited to crystals or rigid host–guest systems. Their poor processability and mechanical properties critically hamper practical applications. Here, we reported a series of ultralong phosphorescent foams with high strength. Phosphorescence lifetime the foam can reach up 485.8 ms at room temperature. Impressively, lightweight gelatin bear compressive pressure 4.44 MPa. Moreover,...
Mechanical nonreciprocity, or the asymmetric transmission of mechanical quantities between two points in space, is crucial for developing systems that can guide, damp, and control energy. We report a uniform composite hydrogel displays substantial owing to direction-dependent buckling embedded nanofillers. This material exhibits an elastic modulus more than 60 times higher when sheared one direction compared with opposite direction. Consequently, it transform symmetric vibrations into ones...

The sluggish nature of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and evolution (OER) coupled with the high cost related noble-metal catalysts stimulate research active non-noble metal or metal-free catalysts. Though have been reported a lot, fewer show activity toward ORR OER, especially for biomass waste materials. This paper introduces top–down strategy to fabricate series bifunctional derived from plant residue. Among them, catalyst BRCAC8502 shows an excellent electrocatalytic performance both OER...
