Abstract
Continuous CO2 emissions from human activities increase atmospheric CO2 concentrations and affect global climate change. The carbon storage capacity of the ocean is 20-fold higher than that of the land, and diatoms contribute to approximately 40% of carbon capture in the ocean. Manganese (Mn) is a major driver of marine phytoplankton growth and the marine carbon pump. Here, we discovered self-assembled manganese oxides (MnOx) for CO2 fixation in a diatom-based biohybrid system. MnOx shared key features (e.g., di-μ-oxo-bridged Mn-Mn) with the Mn4CaO5 cluster of the biological catalyst in photosystem II and promoted photosynthesis and carbon capture by diatoms/MnOx. The CO2 capture capacity of diatoms/MnOx was 1.5-fold higher than that of diatoms alone. Diatoms/MnOx easily allocated carbon into proteins and lipids instead of carbohydrates. Metabolomics showed that the contents of several metabolites (e.g., lysine and inositol) were positively associated with increased CO2 capture. Diatoms/MnOx upregulated six genes encoding photosynthesis core proteins and a key rate-limiting enzyme (Rubisco, ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase) in the Calvin-Benson-Bassham carbon assimilation cycle, revealing the link between MnOx and photosynthesis. These findings provide a route for offsetting anthropogenic CO2 emissions and inspiration for self-assembled biohybrid systems for carbon capture by marine phytoplankton.

Abstract
The thermal quenching behavior (temperature-dependent luminescence) has severely hindered the practical applications of CsPbX3 nanocrystals. Here, we find that a simple surface treatment using ammonium hexafluorosilicate (AHFS, (NH4)2SiF6) can drastically reduce the thermal quenching of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (CPB-NCs) while enhancing their photostability. The AHFS-treated sample sustains 90% of its original emission intensity as the temperature rises to 353 K, which is much better than that (17%) of the pristine sample. Meanwhile, the thermally stable AHFS-treated sample could maintain 93% of its initial PL emission after a 450 nm LED illumination of 53 h. Structural and surface characterizations indicate that the hydrolyzable AHFS absorbed on the surface could lead to a bifunctional passivation for CPB-NCs, through fluoride ions and its hydrolyzed product of silica, which can reduce the thermal quenching by limiting thermally activated carriers trapping into vacancies and block the attack from external environmental factors.

Abstract
Exploration of the bioinspired silicification of artificial scaffolds is crucial to understanding and engineering the hierarchically complex and elaborate three-dimensional (3D) frustules of diatoms, which have high porosity and mechanical stability with related gas diffusion and storage properties. Herein, we report on the bioinspired silicification of the nanostructured surfaces of hexagonally close-packed silica bead (hc-SB) arrays using a liquid-phase deposition (LPD) method. This process, governed by the kinetics of silicification, was controlled using the concentration of the reactants and the reaction temperature and monitored in real time using a quartz-crystal microbalance, which allowed the investigation of the silicification on the surface during the LPD reaction. These heterogeneous LPD reactions on hc-SB arrays were optimized to mimic natural 3D hierarchical structures. Anisotropic silicification of the nanostructures occurred owing to differences in the energy and local concentration of silicic acid on the nanostructured surface. A 3D hierarchical pore network was realized via a heterogeneous LPD reaction by controlling the size, location, and arrangement of the SBs. We believe that our silicification process on nanostructured surfaces can lead to great improvements in the bioinspired morphogenesis-based engineering of 3D hierarchical structures.

Abstract
Liquid phase deposition (LPD) is a useful method for the production of oxide film with low reaction temperature and production cost. With the report that the LPD of oxide films is conformally processed with uniform thickness and composition, there has been significant attention given to investigating its kinetic controls and growth mechanism on the flat surface. In this work, we explored the LPD of silicon dioxide on the hexagonally close-packed silica beads array as a nanostructured surface. The deposition and etching reactions of SiO2 occurred locally and simultaneously on silica beads, and were distinguished from the amount of fumed silica added in LPD solution. From locally competitive reactions, we obtained the anisotropic morphology of close-packed silica beads, and proposed a mechanism for the local LPD of SiO2 driven by nanostructured surfaces. This work contributes highly to improve metal oxide-based engineering, and also provide greater insight into the topography-driven LPD.
