  • In-situ harvesting of wave energy can provide a continuous energy supply for oceanic unmanned equipment. Here, the authors develop a pendulum-based nanogenerator that efficiently converts disordered waves into electricity for self-powered, distributed marine monitoring networks.

  • The imbalance in structural tension between crystalline materials and surfactant micelles makes the synthesis of crystalline mesoporous metal–organic frameworks (meso-MOFs) challenging. Now single-crystalline meso-MOFs featuring ordered mesopores have been prepared through the assembly of surfactant micelles and subunits of crystalline MOFs—a process co-mediated by strong and weak acids.

  • Despite many reports on nanoparticle-covalent organic frameworks (COF) composites, a universal strategy for the synthesis of monodisperse core-shell structured COF nanocomposites remains challenging. Here, the authors develop a strategy for interfacial growth of highly crystalline COFs on functional nanoparticles with abundant optical, electrical and magnetic properties.

  • The gradient-structure is ideal nanostructure for conversion-type anodes with drastic volume change. Here, the authors demonstrate an inorganic-organic competitive coating strategy to construct gradient-structured Fe3O4@C nanospheres.

  • Control of composite nanoparticle topology can be difficult. Here the authors control the topological structure of mesoporous multipods by controlling the number of nucleation sites, and they used the resultant nanoparticles for bacterial adhesion, segregation and antibiotic delivery.

  • Large biomolecules cannot be loaded into conventional Janus nanoparticles with small mesopores, preventing the establishment of efficient logic-gate systems in single Janus nanoparticles. Now, an emulsion-oriented assembly approach has been shown to fabricate Janus double-spherical nanoparticles with dual-tunable mesopores, enabling the design of various single-particle-level logic systems.

  • Porous anisotropic nanohybrids have attracted attention because of their unique properties including high surface area, tunable pore structures and controllable compositions. Here, authors report a selective occupation strategy to achieve site-specific anisotropic growth of amorphous mesoporous subunits on crystalline MOFs.

  • Functional mesoporous materials with architectures ranging from 0D to 3D are typically prepared using surfactant-templating methods. This Review outlines the single-micelle-directed synthesis of mesoporous materials, including low-dimensional and 3D mesoporous structures, as well as hierarchical and asymmetric mesoporous structures.
