Efficient water‐soluble blue/red‐emissive carbon dots matching plant absorption spectra: Synthesis, tunable control, and their applications in promoting plant growth

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Guided by the spectral demand of plant photosystems, this review summarizes the synthesis, emission regulation, dual‐emission design, and gram‐scale production of CDs for agricultural applications. Spectrally matched blue‐ and red‐emissive CDs enhance plant light utilization by converting underutilized light into photosynthetically active radiation and

Carbon dots as a smart nanoplatform for the blood‐brain barrier penetration and ischemic stroke therapy

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents the structure and transport routes of the blood‐brain barrier, summarizes the ischemic stroke pathophysiological cascade, and discusses the BBB‐crossing mechanisms and multitarget therapeutic effects of carbon dots, demonstrating their promising theranostic potential for ischemic stroke.

Gelatin Nanosphere‐Decorated 3D Aramid Nanofiber Hybrid Nanoporous Separators with Regulated Ion Transport for Li‐Metal Batteries

Small, EarlyView.
Gelatin nanosphere‐decorated aramid nanofiber hybrid nanoporous separators with high porosity are fabricated via a phase separation‐induced self‐assembly method. This separator enhances cation transport and regulates ion distribution, enabling the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase layer and suppression of Li dendrite growth.

FXF‐OMe Is a Stable Tripeptide Motif for Ultra‐Short Peptide Coacervates That Establishes Structure‐Property‐Function Relationships

Small, EarlyView.
Ultra‐short peptides with a minimal sticker‐spacer structure undergo liquid‐liquid phase separation, resulting in condensates with microenvironments controlled by the hydrophobicity of the spacers. The condensates provide an easily tunable and exceptionally stable scaffold for photocatalytic microreactors in aqueous media, where catalysis efficiency is

Antimicrobial activity of bovine lactoferrin-derived peptides

, 2016
Antimicrobial peptides, such as bovine lactoferrin (bLF), are produced by a wide variety of organisms. AMPs represent a first line defence against invading microbes and are found in large quantity in several secretory fluids [1] .
