Abstract
Metal-phenolic network (MPN) foams are prepared using colloidal suspensions of tannin-containing cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) that are ice-templated and thawed in ethanolic media in the presence of metal nitrates. The MPN facilitates the formation of solid foams by air drying, given the strength and self-supporting nature of the obtained tannin-cellulose nanohybrid structures. The porous characteristics and (dry and wet) compression strength of the foams are rationalized by the development of secondary, cohesive metal-phenolic layers combined with a hydrogen bonding network involving the CNF. The shrinkage of the MPN foams is as low as 6% for samples prepared with 2.5-10% tannic acid (or condensed tannin at 2.5%) with respect to CNF content. The strength of the MPN foams reaches a maximum at 10% tannic acid (using Fe(III) ions), equivalent to a compressive strength 70% higher than that produced with tannin-free CNF foams. Overall, a straightforward framework is introduced to synthesize MPN foams whose physical and mechanical properties are tailored by the presence of tannins as well as the metal ion species that enable the metal-phenolic networking. Depending on the metal ion, the foams are amenable to modification according to the desired application.

Abstract
Rationale: Effective photothermal therapy (PTT) remains a great challenge due to the difficulties of delivering photothermal agents with both deep penetration and prolonged retention at tumor lesion spatiotemporally. Methods: Here, we report an intratumoral self-assembled nanostructured aggregate named FerH, composed of a natural polyphenol and a commercial iron supplement. FerH assemblies possess size-increasing dynamic kinetics as a pseudo-stepwise polymerization from discrete nanocomplexes to microscale aggregates. Results: The nanocomplex can penetrate deeply into solid tumors, followed by prolonged retention (> 6 days) due to the in vivo growth into nanoaggregates in the tumor microenvironment. FerH performs a targeting ablation of tumors with a high photothermal conversion efficiency (60.2%). Importantly, an enhanced immunotherapeutic effect on the distant tumor can be triggered when co-administrated with checkpoint-blockade PD-L1 antibody. Conclusions: Such a therapeutic approach by intratumoral synthesis of metal-phenolic nanoaggregates can be instructive to address the challenges associated with malignant tumors.

Abstract
Continuous efforts have been made to achieve nanostructured carbon materials with highly ordered graphitic structures using facile synthetic methods. 3D graphite nanoballs (GNBs) are synthesized by the low-temperature pyrolysis of a non-graphitizable precursor, tannic acid (TA). Abundant phenol groups on TA bind to Ni2+ to form metal-phenolic coordination, which renders each Ni cation to be atomically distributed by the TA ligands. Even at low temperatures (1000 °C), highly ordered graphitic structure is promoted by the distributed Ni nanoparticles that act as a graphitization catalyzer. The crystallinity of the GNB is fully corroborated by the intense 2D peak observed in Raman spectroscopy. In particular, the graphitic layers have orientations pointing toward multidirections, which are beneficial for the rapid transport of Li-ions into graphite grains. The resulting materials exhibit outstanding electrochemical performance (120 mAh g-1 at 5 C and 282 mAh g-1 at 0.5 C after 500 cycles) when evaluated as a fast-chargeable negative electrode for lithium ion batteries.
