Advanced Science, EarlyView.Nebulized BN@NF nanozymes integrate boron nanosheets with Nd‐doped iron phosphide to form a sono‐magneto‐responsive Z‐scheme heterostructure. Under ultrasound and magnetic activation, BN@NF amplifies ROS generation, eradicates bacteria, disrupts biofilms, and reshapes pulmonary inflammation through NF‐κB suppression, mitophagy promotion, and M1‐to‐M2 ...

Water‐Mediated Proton Facilitation for Stable Acidic CO2 Electrocatalysis
Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.Proton‐mitigating Cu─O─Ce sites accelerate *CO formation and PCET‐mediated *CO─*CHO coupling, enabling efficient multicarbon production at relatively low current density. Maintaining a retentive acidic pH suppresses parasitic hydrogen evolution and preserves in situ CO2 availability for carbon‐efficient acidic CO2 reduction.
