Summary: The shell thickness of hollow carbon spheres (HCs) has a significant impact on the electrochemical performance due to its effect on lithium ion transport kinetics. A simple one-pot method was developed to synthesize Ndoped hollow carbon nanospheres (NHCs) with different shell thickness (6, 10, and 13 nm) while keeping other parameters almost the same. The NHCs-1 sample with a shell thickness of 6 nm exhibited higher initial charge capacity and better cycle stability compared to NHCs-2 and NHCs-3 with thicker shells of 10 nm and 13 nm, respectively. The capacity dependence on shell thickness was explained by changes in the mass transfer coefficient of Li-ion across the wall. The outstanding electrochemical properties of NHCs were attributed to their unique hollow structure, N-doping, and high specific surface area. The strategy for preparing hollow carbon spheres with different shell thickness provides a promising alternative for developing superior electrode materials for energy storage.

Summary: Invasion and metastasis are the leading causes of death in CRC patients. 5-Fluorouracil, a widely used chemotherapy drug for CRC, is inefficient in inhibiting tumor metastasis. MicroRNA-10b, a key regulator of chemotherapeutic resistance to 5-FU, induces early tumor metastases. A nanovehicle called GCD, which targets EGFR, is used to deliver chemotherapeutic and nucleotide drugs to distinct targets in CRC, effectively inhibiting the metastasis of EGFR-overexpressed CRC. The therapeutic effect of this combination is evaluated in tumor xenograft models derived from patients with CRC. Overall, this study provides insights into simultaneous inhibition of tumor growth and metastasis.

Summary: Porous skeletons are essential in various applications due to their high surface area and enhanced mass adsorption and transport. Freeze-casting is commonly used to produce vertically aligned porous skeletons, but it results in anisotropic mass transfer and suboptimal mechanical properties. Inspired by intricate microstructures in botanical organisms, we have developed an advanced freeze-casting method to engineer a novel central-radial skeleton with enhanced capabilities. The central-radial architecture exhibits superior refinement and uniformity in its pore structure, leading to higher compression resilience, adsorption rate, and structural maintenance capacity. Extensive examination and simulations have definitively confirmed the exceptional characteristics of this unique structure, and its efficacy in chip cooling and photothermal conversion has been demonstrated. This pioneering microstructure preparation method holds immense potential for expanding its applicability and inspiring innovative concepts for novel structures.
