Abstract
The porous nature and structural variability of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) make them preferred for drug loading and delivery applications. However, most COF materials suffer from poor luminescent properties and inefficiency for cell uptake. Herein, we experimentally demonstrate the crucial role of long alkoxy chains in the synthesis of crystalline COF nanostructures with high cellular uptake efficiency. After luminescence integration through band engineering, the semiconducting COF exhibits an optical bandgap of 2.05 eV, an emission wavelength of 632 nm, a high quantum yield of 37 %, and excellent fluorescence stability (100 % at 3 h). Such excellent optical properties of the designed COF nanocarriers enable quantitative evaluations of cellular uptake and visual tracking of drug delivery. It was demonstrated that the cellular uptake efficiency was enhanced by orders of magnitude for the COF after the introduction of long n-octyloxy chains, which firstly delivered the anticancer camptothecin (CPT) to cell lysosomes, and then underwent "endo/lysosomal escape" to induce cell apoptosis. In vivo assay evidenced a significant enhancement in the therapeutic effect with a 96 % inhibition of tumor growth after 14 days of treatment. This progress sheds light on designing cutting-edge drug delivery nanosystems based on COF materials with integrated diagnostic and therapeutic functions.

Abstract
Practical techniques to identify heat routes at the nanoscale are required for the thermal control of microelectronic, thermoelectric, and photonic devices. Nanoscale thermometry using various approaches has been extensively investigated, yet a reliable method has not been finalized. We developed an original technique using thermal waves induced by a pulsed convergent electron beam in a scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) mode at room temperature. By quantifying the relative phase delay at each irradiated position, we demonstrate the heat transport within various samples with a spatial resolution of ~10 nm and a temperature resolution of 0.01 K. Phonon-surface scatterings were quantitatively confirmed due to the suppression of thermal diffusivity. The phonon-grain boundary scatterings and ballistic phonon transport near the pulsed convergent electron beam were also visualized.

Abstract
Defect sites present on the surface of catalysts serve a crucial role in different catalytic processes. Herein, we have investigated defect engineering within a hybrid system composed of "soft" polymer catalysts and "hard" metal nanoparticles, employing the disparity in their thermal expansions. Electron paramagnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and mechanistic studies together reveal the formation of new abundant defects and their synergistic integrability with plasmonic enhancement within the hybrid catalyst. These active defects, co-localized with plasmonic Ag nanoparticles, promote the utilization efficiency of hot electrons generated by local plasmons, thereby enhancing the CO2 photoreduction activity while maintaining the high catalytic selectivity.

Abstract
Photoisomerization of chromophores usually shows significantly less efficiency in solid polymers than in solution as strong intermolecular interactions lock their conformation. Herein, we establish the impact of macromolecular architecture on the isomerization efficiency of main-chain-incorporated chromophores (i.e., α-bisimine) in both solution and the solid state. We demonstrate that branched architectures deliver the highest isomerization efficiency for the main-chain chromophore in the solid state─remarkably as high as 70% compared to solution. The macromolecular design principles established herein for efficient solid-state photoisomerization can serve as a blueprint for enhancing the solid-state isomerization efficiency for other polymer systems, such as those based on azobenzenes.

Abstract
Lysosomes are of great significance to cell growth, metabolism, and survival, as they independently maintain acidity and regulate various balances in cells. Therefore, it is essential to develop advanced probes for lysosome visualization and live tracking. Herein, a type of lysosome-targeting probe based on boron (B) and nitrogen (N) co-doped carbon quantum dots (B/N-CQDs) is presented, which exhibits red emission at 618 nm, high quantum yield (28%), and excellent fluorescence stability (97% at 1 h). These B/N-CQDs are prepared by a novel and green solid-state reaction and purified using a simple extraction process without additional chemical modifications. It is found that the boron dopants in the structure play a crucial role in the resultant lysosome-specific targeting property through borate esterification between boronic acid groups in the sample and diol structures in glycoproteins. This can be applied as a powerful tool for cell apoptosis, necrosis, and endosomal escape tracking. This work not only offers a new concept for targeted subcellular probe designs via chemical doping but also demonstrates the feasibility of these tools for analyzing complex cellular physiological activities.

Abstract
A heterostructured porous carbon framework (PCF) composed of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets and metal organic framework (MOF)-derived microporous carbon is prepared to investigate its potential use in a lithium-ion battery. As an anode material, the PCF exhibits efficient lithium-ion storage performance with a high reversible specific capacity (771 mA h g-1 at 50 mA g-1), an excellent rate capability (448 mA h g-1 at 1000 mA g-1), and a long lifespan (75% retention after 400 cycles). The in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study demonstrates that its unique three-dimensional (3D) heterostructure can largely tolerate the volume expansion. We envisage that this work may offer a deeper understanding of the importance of tailored design of anode materials for future lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Nanomaterials having enzyme-like activities are recognized as potentially important self-therapeutic nanomedicines. Herein, a peroxidase-like artificial enzyme is developed based on novel biodegradable boron oxynitride (BON) nanostructures for highly efficient and multi-mode breast cancer therapies. The BON nanozyme catalytically generates cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals, which induce apoptosis of 4T1 cancer cells and significantly reduce the cell viability by 82% in 48 h. In vivo experiment reveals a high potency of the BON nanozyme for breast tumor growth inhibitions by 97% after 14-day treatment compared with the control, which are 10 times or 1.3 times more effective than the inert or B-releasing boron nitride (BN) nanospheres, respectively. This work highlights the BON nanozyme and its functional integrations within the BN nanomedicine platform for high-potency breast cancer therapies.

Abstract
In the past two decades, mesoporous TiO2 has emerged as a promising material for biosensing applications. In particular, mesoporous TiO2 materials with uniform, well-organized pores and high surface areas typically exhibit superior biosensing performance, which includes high sensitivity, broad linear response, low detection limit, good reproducibility, and high specificity. Therefore, the development of biosensors based on mesoporous TiO2 has significantly intensified in recent years. In this review, the expansion and advancement of mesoporous TiO2-based biosensors for glucose detection, hydrogen peroxide detection, alpha-fetoprotein detection, immobilization of enzymes, proteins, and bacteria, cholesterol detection, pancreatic cancer detection, detection of DNA damage, kanamycin detection, hypoxanthine detection, and dichlorvos detection are summarized. Finally, the future perspective and research outlook on the utilization of mesoporous TiO2-based biosensors for the practical diagnosis of diseases and detection of hazardous substances are also given.

Abstract
Restricting the aggregation and rationally adjusting the electronic structure of binary metal centers in metal-organic framework (MOF) precursors are important for optimizing their performance as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and achieving low overpotential and high stability in such applications. Herein, we demonstrate the possibility of enhancing the electrochemical activity of MOF-derived binary metal center catalysts by controlling the form of the Fe species. The introduction of Fe-SBU (iron 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid) into ZIF-67 is found to induce a distinct confinement effect and this can be exploited to improve the electroconductivity of binary metal center catalysts, and therefore, to reduce the OER reaction barrier (OOH* → O*). When applied as an OER catalyst in 1 M KOH solution, the Fe-SBU@Co-Matrix catalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 249 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and high stability for over 40 h. This work describes the secondary growth treatment of MOF-derived porous carbons to promote their application as catalysts in energy conversion reactions.

Abstract
The development of pseudocapacitive materials for energy-oriented applications has stimulated considerable interest in recent years due to their high energy-storing capacity with high power outputs. Nevertheless, the utilization of nanosized active materials in batteries leads to fast redox kinetics due to the improved surface area and short diffusion pathways, which shifts their electrochemical signatures from battery-like to the pseudocapacitive-like behavior. As a result, it becomes challenging to distinguish "pseudocapacitive" and "battery" materials. Such misconceptions have further impacted on the final device configurations. This Review is an earnest effort to clarify the confusion between the battery and pseudocapacitive materials by providing their true meanings and correct performance metrics. A method to distinguish battery-type and pseudocapacitive materials using the electrochemical signatures and quantitative kinetics analysis is outlined. Taking solid-state supercapacitors (SSCs, only polymer gel electrolytes) as an example, the distinction between asymmetric and hybrid supercapacitors is discussed. The state-of-the-art progress in the engineering of active materials is summarized, which will guide for the development of real-pseudocapacitive energy storage systems.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal carbides, that is, MXenes and especially Ti3C2, attract attention due to their excellent combination of properties. Ti3C2 nanosheets could be the material of choice for future flexible electronics, energy storage, and electromechanical nanodevices. There has been limited information available on the mechanical properties of Ti3C2, which is essential for their utilization. We have fabricated Ti3C2 nanosheets and studied their mechanical properties using direct in situ tensile tests inside a transmission electron microscope, quantitative nanomechanical mapping, and theoretical calculations employing machine-learning derived potentials. Young's modulus in the direction perpendicular to the Ti3C2 basal plane was found to be 80-100 GPa. The tensile strength of Ti3C2 nanosheets reached up to 670 MPa for ∼40 nm thin nanoflakes, while a strong dependence of tensile strength on nanosheet thickness was demonstrated. Theoretical calculations allowed us to study mechanical characteristics of Ti3C2 as a function of nanosheet geometrical parameters and structural defect concentration.

Abstract
In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is one of the most powerful approaches for revealing physical and chemical process dynamics at atomic resolutions. The most recent developments for in situ TEM techniques are summarized; in particular, how they enable visualization of various events, measure properties, and solve problems in the field of energy by revealing detailed mechanisms at the nanoscale. Related applications include rechargeable batteries such as Li-ion, Na-ion, Li-O2 , Na-O2 , Li-S, etc., fuel cells, thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, and photocatalysis. To promote various applications, the methods of introducing the in situ stimuli of heating, cooling, electrical biasing, light illumination, and liquid and gas environments are discussed. The progress of recent in situ TEM in energy applications should inspire future research on new energy materials in diverse energy-related areas.

Abstract
Full exploitation of graphene's superior properties requires the ability to precisely control its morphology and edge structures. We present such a structure-tailoring approach via controlled atom removal from graphene edges. With the use of a graphitic-carbon-capped tungsten nanoelectrode as a noncontact "milling" tool in a transmission electron microscope, graphene edge atoms approached by the tool tip are locally evaporated, thus allowing a freestanding graphene sheet to be tailored with high precision and flexibility. A threshold for the tip voltage of 3.6 ± 0.4 V, independent of polarity, is found to be the determining factor that triggers the controlled etching process. The dominant mechanisms involve weakening of carbon-carbon bonds through the interband excitation induced by tunneling electrons, assisted with a resistive-heating effect enhanced by high electric field, as elaborated by first-principles calculations. In addition to the precise shape and size control, this tip-based method enables fabrication of graphene edges with specific chiralities, such as "armchair" or "zigzag" types. The as-obtained edges can be further "polished" to become entirely atomically smooth via edge evaporation/reconstruction induced by in situ TEM Joule annealing. We finally demonstrate the potential of this technique for practical uses through creating a graphene-based point electron source, whose field emission characteristics can effectively be tuned via modifying its geometry.

Abstract
Organic polymers have attracted significant interest as electrodes for energy storage devices because of their advantages, including molecular flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and environmentally friendly nature. Nevertheless, the real implementation of polymer-based electrodes is restricted by their poor stability, low capacity, and slow electron-transfer/ion diffusion kinetics. In this work, a sandwich-structured composite of ordered mesoporous polydopamine (OMPDA)/Ti3C2Tx has been fabricated by in situ polymerization of dopamine on the surface of Ti3C2Tx via employing the PS-b-PEO block polymer as a soft template. The OMPDA layers with vertically oriented, accessible nanopores (∼20 nm) provide a continuous pore channel for ion diffusion, while the Ti3C2Tx layers guarantee a fast electron-transfer path. The OMPDA/Ti3C2Tx composite anode exhibits high reversible capacity, good rate performance, and excellent cyclability for lithium-ion batteries. The in situ transmission electron microscopy analysis reveals that the OMPDA in the composite only shows a small volume expansion and almost preserves the initial morphology during lithiation. Moreover, these in situ experiments also demonstrate the generation of a stable and ultrathin solid electrolyte interphase layer surrounding the active material, which acts as an electrode protective film during cycling. This study demonstrates the method to develop polymer-based electrodes for high-performance rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) containing first-row transition metals such as Fe, Co, and Ni have attracted significant interest for electrocatalysis owing to their abundance and excellent performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media. Herein, the assembly of holey iron-doped nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) nanosheets ('holey nanosheets') is demonstrated by employing uniform Ni-Co glycerate spheres as self-templates. Iron doping was found to increase the rate of hydrolysis of Ni-Co glycerate spheres and induce the formation of a holey interconnected sheet-like structure with small pores (1-10 nm) and a high specific surface area (279 m2 g-1 ). The optimum Fe-doped NiCo-LDH OER catalyst showed a low overpotential of 285 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a low Tafel slope of 62 mV dec-1 . The enhanced OER activity was attributed to (i) the high specific surface area of the holey nanosheets, which increases the number of active sites, and (ii) the improved kinetics and enhanced ion transport arising from the iron doping and synergistic effects.

Abstract
Silicon-carbon (Si-C) hybrids have been proven to be the most promising anodes for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their superior theoretical capacity (∼4200 mAh g-1). However, it is still a critical challenge to apply this material for commercial LIB anodes because of the large volume expansion of Si, unstable solid-state interphase (SEI) layers, and huge internal stresses upon lithiation/delithiation. Here, we propose an engineering concept of multiscale buffering, taking advantage of a nanosized Si-C nanowire architecture through fabricating specific microsized wool-ball frameworks to solve all the above-mentioned problems. These wool-ball-like frameworks, prepared at high yields, nearly matching industrial scales (they can be routinely produced at a rate of ∼300 g/h), are composed of Si/C nanowire building blocks. As anodes, the Si-C wool-ball frameworks show ultrastable Li+ storage (2000 mAh g-1 for 1000 cycles), high initial Coulombic efficiency of ∼90%, and volumetric capacity of 1338 mAh cm-3. In situ TEM proves that the multiscale buffering design enables a small volume variation, only ∼19.5%, reduces the inner stresses, and creates a very thin SEI. The perfect multiscale elastic buffering makes this material more stable compared to common Si nanoparticle-assembled counterpart electrodes.

Abstract
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are promising for mechanical applications owing to the high modulus, high strength, and inert chemical nature. However, up to now, precise evaluation of their elastic properties and their relation to defects have not been experimentally established. Herein, the intrinsic elastic modulus of BNNTs and its dependence on intrinsic and deliberately irradiation-induced extrinsic defects have been studied via an electric-field-induced high-order resonance technique inside a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). Resonances up to fourth order for normal modes and third order for parametric modes have been initiated in the cantilevered tubes, and the recorded frequencies are well consistent with the theoretical calculations with a discrepancy of ∼1%. The elastic moduli of the BNNTs measured from high-order resonance is about 906.2 GPa on average, with a standard deviation of 9.3%, which is found to be closely related to the intrinsic defect as cavities in the nanotube walls. Furthermore, electron irradiation in HRTEM has been used to study the effects of defects to elastic moduli and to evaluate the radiation resistance of the BNNTs. Along with an increase in the irradiation dose, the outer diameter has linearly reduced due to the knock-on effects. A defective shell with nearly constant thickness has been formed on the outer surface, and as a result, the elastic modulus decreases gradually to ∼662.9 GPa, which is still 3 times that of steel. Excellent intrinsic elastic properties and decent radiation-resistance prove that BNNTs could be a material of choice for applications in extreme environments, such as those existing in space.

Abstract
A high-surface-area conductive cellular carbon monolith is highly desired as the optimal electrode for achieving high energy, power, and lifetime in electrochemical energy storage. 3D graphene can be regarded as a first-ranking member of cellular carbons with the pore-wall thickness down to mono/few-atomic layers. Current 3D graphenes, derived from either gelation or pyrolysis routes, still suffer from low surface area, conductivity, stability, and/or yield, being subjected to methodological inadequacies including patchy assembly, wet processing, and weak controllability. Herein, a strategy of zinc-assisted solid-state pyrolysis to produce a superior 3D graphene is established. Zinc unprecedentedly impregnates and delaminates a solid ("nonhollow") char into multiple membranes, which eliminates the morphological impurities ever-present in the previous pyrolyses using solid-state carbon precursors. Zinc also catalyzes the carbonization and graphitization, and its in situ thermal extraction and recycling enables the scaled-up production. The created 3D graphene network consists integrally of morphologically and chemically pure graphene membranes. It possesses unrivaled surface area, outstanding stability, and conductivity both in air and electrolyte, exceeding preexisting 3D graphenes. The advanced 3D graphene thus equips a porous monolithic electrode with unparalleled energy density, power density, and lifetime in electric-double-layer capacitive devices.

Abstract
Mechanical resonators have wide applications in sensing bio-chemical substances, and provide an accurate method to measure the intrinsic elastic properties of oscillating materials. A high resonance order with high response frequency and a small resonator mass are critical for enhancing the sensitivity and precision. Here, we report on the realization and direct observation of high-order and high-frequency silicon nanowire (Si NW) resonators. By using an oscillating electric-field for inducing a mechanical resonance of single-crystalline Si NWs inside a transmission electron microscope (TEM), we observed resonance up to the 5th order, for both normal and parametric modes at ∼100 MHz frequencies. The precision of the resonant frequency was enhanced, as the deviation reduced from 3.14% at the 1st order to 0.25% at the 5th order, correlating with the increase of energy dissipation. The elastic modulus of Si NWs was measured to be ∼169 GPa in the [110] direction, and size scaling effects were found to be absent down to the ∼20 nm level.

Abstract
Research on electromechanical properties of semiconducting nanowires, including plastic behavior of Si nanowires and superb carrier mobility of Ge and Ge/Si core-shell nanowires, has attracted increasing attention. However, to date, there have been no direct experimental studies on crystallography dynamics and its relation to electrical and mechanical properties of Ge/Si core-shell nanowires. In this Letter, we in parallel investigated the crystallography changes and electrical and mechanical behaviors of Ge/Si core-shell nanowires under their deformation in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The core-shell Ge/Si nanowires were bent and strained in tension to high limits. The nanowire Young's moduli were measured to be up to ∼191 GPa, and tensile strength was in a range of 3-8 GPa. Using high-resolution imaging, we confirmed that under large bending strains, Si shells had irregularly changed to the polycrystalline/amorphous state, whereas Ge cores kept single crystal status with the local lattice strains on the compressed side. The nanowires revealed cyclically changed electronic properties and had decent mechanical robustness. Electron diffraction patterns obtained from in situ TEM, paired with theoretical simulations, implied that nonequilibrium phases of polycrystalline/amorphous Si and β-Sn Ge appearing during the deformations may explain the regarded mechanical robustness and varying conductivities under straining. Finally, atomistic simulations of Ge/Si nanowires showed the pronounced changes in their electronic structure during bending and the appearance of a conductive channel in compressed regions which might also be responsible for the increased conductivity seen in bent nanowires.

Abstract
Boron, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms can form various building blocks for further construction of structurally well-defined 2D materials (2DMs). Both in theory and experiment, it has been documented that the electronic structures and optical properties of 2DMs are well tunable through a rational design of the material structure. Here, the recent progress on 2DMs that are composed of B, C, N, and O elements is introduced, including borophene, graphene, h-BN, g-C3 N4 , organic 2D polymers (2DPs), etc. Attention is put on the band structure/bandgap engineering for these materials through a variety of methodologies, such as chemical modifications, layer number and atomic structure control, change of conjugation degree, etc. The optical properties, such as photoluminescence, thermoluminescence, single photon emission, as well as the associated applications in bioimaging and sensing, are discussed in detail and highlighted.

Abstract
Heteroatom-doped three-dimensional (3D) carbon fiber networks have attracted immense interest because of their extensive applications in energy-storage devices. However, their practical production and usage remain a great challenge because of the costly and complex synthetic procedures. In this work, flexible B, N, and O heteroatom-doped 3D interconnected carbon microfiber networks (BNOCs) with controllable pore sizes and elemental contents were successfully synthesized via a facile one-step "chemical vapor etching and doping" method using cellulose-made paper, the most abundant and cost-effective biomass, as an original network-frame precursor. Under a rational design, the BNOCs exhibited interconnected microfiber-network structure as expressways for electron transport, spacious accessible surface area for charge accumulation, abundant mesopores and macropores for rapid inner-pore ion diffusion, and lots of functional groups for additional pseudocapacitance. Being applied as binder-free electrodes for supercapacitors, BNOC-based supercapacitors not only revealed a high specific capacitance of 357 F g-1, a high capacitance retention of 150 F g-1 at 200 A g-1, a high energy density of 12.4 W h kg-1, and a maximum power density of 300.6 kW kg-1 with an aqueous electrolyte in two-electrode configuration but also exhibited a high specific capacitance of up to 242.4 F g-1 in an all-solid-state supercapacitor.

Abstract
We report on experimental synthesis and theoretical studies of ultrasharp BN-nanocones. Using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, the cone-like morphology of synthesized products was confirmed. Theoretical analysis of the dipole moment nature in h-BN nanocones reveals that the moment has contributions from the polarity of B-N bonds and electronic flexoelectric effect associated with a curved h-BN lattice. The latter phenomenon is predicted on the basis of the extension of the theory of flexoelectric effects in the h-BN lattice through establishing universality of the linear dependence of flexoelectric dipole moments on local curvature in various nano- h-BN networks (nanotubes and fullerenes). Our study of the atomic structure response and its polarization under deformation of nanocones with different apex angles shows the advantageous properties of cones with the smallest angles.

Abstract
Physical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are closely related to the atomic structure, i.e. the chirality. It is highly desirable to develop a technique to modify their chirality and control the resultant transport properties. Herein, we present an in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) probing method to monitor the chirality transition and transport properties of individual few-walled CNTs. The changes of tube structure including the chirality are stimulated by programmed bias pulses and associated Joule heating. The chirality change of each shell is analyzed by nanobeam electron diffraction. Supported by molecular dynamics simulations, a preferred chirality transition path is identified, consistent with the Stone-Wales defect formation and dislocation sliding mechanism. The electronic transport properties are measured along with the structural changes, via fabricating transistors using the individual nanotubes as the suspended channels. Metal-to-semiconductor transitions are observed along with the chirality changes as confirmed by both the electron diffraction and electrical measurements. Apart from providing an alternative route to control the chirality of CNTs, the present work demonstrates the rare possibility of obtaining the dynamic structure-properties relationships at the atomic and molecular levels.

Abstract
In this work, we fabricate a highly effective catalyst for carbon monoxide oxidation based on gold-loaded mesoporous maghemite nanoflakes which exhibit nearly 100% CO conversion and a very high specific activity of 8.41 molCO gAu-1 h-1 at room temperature. Such excellent catalytic activity is promoted by the synergistic cooperation of their high surface area, large pore volume, and mesoporous structure.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline solution is hindered by its sluggish kinetics toward water dissociation. Nickel-based catalysts, as low-cost and effective candidates, show great potentials to replace platinum (Pt)-based materials in the alkaline media. The main challenge regarding this type of catalysts is their relatively poor durability. In this work, we conceive and construct a charge-polarized carbon layer derived from carbon quantum dots (CQDs) on Ni3N nanostructure (Ni3N@CQDs) surfaces, which simultaneously exhibit durable and enhanced catalytic activity. The Ni3N@CQDs shows an overpotential of 69 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in a 1 M KOH aqueous solution, lower than that of Pt electrode (116 mV) at the same conditions. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations reveal that Ni3N and interfacial oxygen polarize charge distributions between originally equal C-C bonds in CQDs. The partially negatively charged C sites become effective catalytic centers for the key water dissociation step via the formation of new C-H bond (Volmer step) and thus boost the HER activity. Furthermore, the coated carbon is also found to protect interior Ni3N from oxidization/hydroxylation and therefore guarantees its durability. This work provides a practical design of robust and durable HER electrocatalysts based on nonprecious metals.

Abstract
Tin and its compounds hold promise for the development of high-capacity anode materials that could replace graphitic carbon used in current lithium-ion batteries. However, the introduced porosity in current electrode designs to buffer the volume changes of active materials during cycling does not afford high volumetric performance. Here, we show a strategy leveraging a sulfur sacrificial agent for controlled utility of void space in a tin oxide/graphene composite anode. In a typical synthesis using the capillary drying of graphene hydrogels, sulfur is employed with hard tin oxide nanoparticles inside the contraction hydrogels. The resultant graphene-caged tin oxide delivers an ultrahigh volumetric capacity of 2123 mAh cm-3 together with good cycling stability. Our results suggest not only a conversion-type composite anode that allows for good electrochemical characteristics, but also a general synthetic means to engineering the packing density of graphene nanosheets for high energy storage capabilities in small volumes.

Abstract
The development of advanced thermal transport materials is a global challenge. Two-dimensional nanomaterials have been demonstrated as promising candidates for thermal management applications. Here, we report a boron nitride (BN) nanosheet/polymer composite film with excellent flexibility and toughness prepared by vacuum-assisted filtration. The mechanical performance of the composite film is highly flexible and robust. It is noteworthy that the film exhibits highly anisotropic properties, with superior in-plane thermal conductivity of around 200 W m-1 K-1 and extremely low through-plane thermal conductivity of 1.0 W m-1 K-1, making this material an excellent candidate for thermal management in electronics. Importantly, the composite film shows fire-resistant properties. The newly developed unconventional flexible, tough, and refractory BN films are also promising for heat dissipation in a variety of applications.

Abstract
In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) allows one to investigate nanostructures at high spatial resolution in response to external stimuli, such as heat, electrical current, mechanical force and light. This review exclusively focuses on the optical, optoelectronic and photocatalytic studies inside TEM. With the development of TEMs and specialized TEM holders that include in situ illumination and light collection optics, it is possible to perform optical spectroscopies and diverse optoelectronic experiments inside TEM with simultaneous high resolution imaging of nanostructures. Optical TEM holders combining the capability of a scanning tunneling microscopy probe have enabled nanomaterial bending/stretching and electrical measurements in tandem with illumination. Hence, deep insights into the optoelectronic property versus true structure and its dynamics could be established at the nanometer-range precision thus evaluating the suitability of a nanostructure for advanced light driven technologies. This report highlights systems for in situ illumination of TEM samples and recent research work based on the relevant methods, including nanomaterial cathodoluminescence, photoluminescence, photocatalysis, photodeposition, photoconductivity and piezophototronics.

Abstract
The interaction between graphene and various metals plays a central role in future carbon-based device and synthesis technologies. Herein, three different types of metal nanoelectrodes (W, Ni, Au) were employed to in situ study the graphene-metal interfacial kinetic behaviors in a high-resolution transmission electron microscope. The three metals exhibit distinctly different interactions with graphene when driven by a heating current. Tungsten tips, the most carbon-starved ones, can ingest a graphene sheet continuously; nickel tips, less carbon starved, typically "eat" graphene only by taking a "bite" from its edge; gold, however, is nonactive with graphene at all, even in its molten state. The ingested graphene atoms finally precipitate as freshly formed graphitic shells encapsulating the catalytic W and Ni electrodes. Particularly, we propose a periodic extension/thickening graphene growth scenario by atomic-scale observation of this process on W electrodes, where the propagation of the underlying tungsten carbide (WC) dominates the growth dynamics. This work uncovers the complexity of carbon diffusion/segregation processes at different graphene/metal interfaces that would severely degrade the device performance and stability. Besides, it also provides a detailed and insightful understanding of the sp2 carbon catalytic growth, which is vital in developing efficient and practical graphene synthetic routes.

Abstract
Herein we study the effect of doxorubicin-loaded BN nanoparticles (DOX-BNNPs) on cell lines that differ in the multidrug resistance (MDR), namely KB-3-1 and MDR KB-8-5 cervical carcinoma lines, and K562 and MDR i-S9 leukemia lines. We aim at revealing the possible differences in the cytotoxic effect of free DOX and DOX-BNNP nanoconjugates on these types of cells. The spectrophotometric measurements have demonstrated that the maximum amount of DOX in the DOX-BNNPs is obtained after saturation in alkaline solution (pH 8.4), indicating the high efficiency of BNNPs saturation with DOX. DOX release from DOX-BNNPs is a pH-dependent and DOX is more effectively released in acid medium (pH 4.0-5.0). Confocal laser scanning microscopy has shown that the DOX-BNNPs are internalized by neoplastic cells using endocytic pathway and distributed in cell cytoplasm near the nucleus. The cytotoxic studies have demonstrated a higher sensitivity of the leukemia lines to DOX-BNNPs compared with the carcinoma lines: IC50(DOX-BNNPs) is 1.13, 4.68, 0.025, and 0.14 μg/mL for the KB-3-1, MDR KB-8-5, K562, and MDR i-S9 cell lines, respectively. To uncover the mechanism of cytotoxic effect of nanocarriers on MDR cells, DOX distribution in both the nucleus and cytoplasm has been studied. The results indicate that the DOX-BNNP nanoconjugates significantly change the dynamics of DOX accumulation in the nuclei of both KB-3-1 and KB-8-5 cells. Unlike free DOX, the utilization of DOX-BNNPs nanoconjugates allows for maintaining a high and stable level of DOX in the nucleus of MDR KB-8-5 cells.

Abstract
Engineering of the optical, electronic, and magnetic properties of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanomaterials via oxygen doping and functionalization has been envisaged in theory. However, it is still unclear as to what extent these properties can be altered using such methodology because of the lack of significant experimental progress and systematic theoretical investigations. Therefore, here, comprehensive theoretical predictions verified by solid experimental confirmations are provided, which unambiguously answer this long-standing question. Narrowing of the optical bandgap in h-BN nanosheets (from ≈5.5 eV down to 2.1 eV) and the appearance of paramagnetism and photoluminescence (of both Stokes and anti-Stokes types) in them after oxygen doping and functionalization are discussed. These results are highly valuable for further advances in semiconducting nanoscale electronics, optoelectronics, and spintronics.
