Precise control of the micro‐/nanostructures of nanomaterials, such as hollow multi‐shelled structures (HoMSs), has shown its great advantages in various applications. Now, the crystal structure of building blocks of HoMSs are controlled by introducing the lattice distortion in HoMSs, for the first time. The lattice distortion located at the nanoscale interface of SnS 2 /SnO 2 can provide additional active sites, which not only provide the catalytic activity under visible light but also improve the separation of photoexcited electron–hole pairs. Combined with the efficient light utilization, the natural advantage of HoMSs, a record catalytic activity was achieved in solid–gas system for CO 2 reduction, with an excellent stability and 100 % CO selectivity without using any sensitizers or noble metals.

Clinical translation of curcumin has been highly obstructed by the rapid degradation and poor tissue absorption of this agent. Herein, we report on the generation of supramolecular curcumin nanoagents through amino acid coordination driven self‐assembly to simultaneously increase the biological stability and tumor accumulation of curcumin. The biological stability of curcumin was significantly improved both through coordination and through molecular stacking. The sizes of these nanoagents can be readily manipulated to facilitate tumor accumulation. These favorable therapeutic features, together with high drug‐loading capacities and responses to pH and redox stimuli, substantially enhanced the antitumor activity of curcumin without discernible side effects. Hence, supramolecular curcumin nanoagents may hold promise in moving forward the clinical application of curcumin as an effective anticancer drug.

Herein, we present heterogeneous hollow multi‐shelled structures (HoMSs) prepared by exploiting the properties of the metal–organic framework (MOFs) casing. Through accurately controlling the transformation of MOF layer into different heterogeneous casings, we can precisely design HoMSs of SnO 2 @Fe 2 O 3 (MOF) and SnO 2 @FeO x ‐C(MOF), which not only retain properties of the original SnO 2 ‐HoMSs, but also structural information from the MOFs. Tested as anode materials in LIBs, SnO 2 @Fe 2 O 3 (MOF)‐HoMSs demonstrate superior lithium‐storage capacity and cycling stability to the original SnO 2 ‐HoMSs, which can be attributed to the topological features from the MOF casing. Making a sharp contrast to the electrodes of SnO 2 @Fe 2 O 3 (particle)‐HoMSs fabricated by hydrothermal method, the capacity retention after 100 cycles for the SnO 2 @Fe 2 O 3 (MOF)‐HoMSs is about eight times higher than that of the SnO 2 @Fe 2 O 3 (particle)‐HoMS.

Enzyme mimics have broad applications in catalysis and can assist elucidation of the catalytic mechanism of natural enzymes. However, challenges arise from the design of catalytic sites, the selection of host molecules, and their integration into active three‐dimensional structures. Herein, we describe the development of a photooxidase mimic by synergetic molecular self‐assembly. 9‐Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl‐ l ‐histidine undergoes efficient co‐assembly with phthalocyanine into nanovesicles with tunable particle size and membrane thickness. The obtained nanovesicles can be used as catalysts for reactive‐oxygen‐mediated photosensitive oxidation with improved efficiency and stability. This work highlights the co‐assembly of simple building blocks into a supramolecular photocatalyst, which might give insight into possible evolutionary paths of photocatalytic membrane systems, and might allow facile transfer into photosensitive nanoreactors or artificial organelles.
