Carbon Materials: A Crucial Component Within the Family of High‐Performance Microwave Absorbing Materials Abstract In both contemporary civilian and military defense domains, microwave absorbing materials (MAMs) serve as a crucial tool for addressing electromagnetic pollution and play an indispensable role. Owing to their excellent compatibility and remarkable plasticity, carbon materials provide a robust foundation for various structural design engineering projects and are considered one of the most promising materials. However, the highly conjugated electron system and fixed electron transition energy levels result in issues such as poor impedance‐matching and a narrow absorption band, posing significant challenges to their application in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption. This study delves into the mechanisms of electromagnetic wave generation and loss, starting with the straightforward design and control of composite structures. Subsequently, the optimization strategies of bionic structure design inspired by nature, with a focus on structure selection and process design are systematically discussed. More importantly, this paper presents superstructure design schemes that transcend natural limitations and integrate cutting‐edge intelligent concepts. Finally, several recommendations are proposed for current research and outline future development trends.

The nano-paradox: addressing nanotoxicity for sustainable agriculture, circular economy and SDGs Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have aroused extensive interest in agricultural, industrial, and medical applications. The integration of ENMs into the agricultural systems aligns with the principles of United Nations' sustainable development goals (SDGs), circular economy (CE) and bio-economy (BE) principles. This approach offers excellent opportunities to enhance productivity and address global climate change challenges. The revelation of the adverse effects of nanomaterials (NMs) on various organisms and ecosystems, however, has fueled the debate on 'Nano-paradox' leading to emergence of a new research domain 'Nanotoxicology'. ENMs have shown different interactions with biological and environmental systems as compared to their bulk counterparts. They bioaccumulate in organisms, soils, and other environmental matrices, move through food chains and reach higher trophic levels including humans ultimately resulting in oxidative stress and cellular damage. Understanding nano-bio interactions, the mechanism of gene- and cytotoxicity, and associated potential hazards, is therefore, essential to mitigate their toxicological outputs. This review comprehensively examines the cyto- and genotoxicity mechanisms of ENMs in biological systems, covering aspects such as their entry, uptake, cellular responses, dynamic interactions in biological environments their long-term effects and environmental risk assessment (ERA). It also discusses toxicological assessment methods, regulatory policies, strategies for toxicity management/mitigation and future research directions in nanotechnology, all within the context of SDGs, CE, promoting resource efficiency and sustainability. Navigating the nano-paradox involves balancing the benefits of nanomaterials with concerns about nanotoxicity. Prioritizing thorough research on above facets can ensure sustainability and safety, enabling responsible harnessing of nanotechnology's transformative potential in various applications including mitigating global climate change and enhancing agricultural productivity.

Valorization of nano additives effects on the physical, mechanical and radiation shielding properties of high strength concrete This study evaluated the impact of nano silica (NS) and nano metakaolin (NMK) on high-strength concrete (HSC). Portland cement was partially replaced with varying amounts of NS and NMK, both individually and in combination. Portland cement was partially replaced with varying percentages (1, 2, 3, and 4 wt%) of NS and (2, 4 and 6 wt%) of NMK in individual mixes. Four concrete mixtures were formulated using a combination of NS and NMK. The physical properties (slump, consistency, and setting times), mechanical properties (compressive and tensile strengths at 28 days), and microstructural analysis (X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX)) were conducted on both the individual and combined mixtures, along with the control mix. Radiation shielding properties of the concrete were conducted. The Monte Carlo simulation code and the Phy-X program were used to examine the efficacy of these combinations in shielding against ionizing radiation, e.g., gamma rays and fast neutrons. The results showed NS and NMK reduced slump in HSC, primarily due to increased water demand and a denser structure. Combined use led to a more significant reduction than individual. Increased NS and NMK content led to higher water demand but shorter setting times. NS improved compressive and tensile strengths, reaching a maximum of 10.5% and 5.6%, respectively, at replacement 3% NS. NMK increased compressive and tensile strengths of 11.7% and 6.3%, respectively at replacement 4% NMK. The combined mixture 1% NS + 4% NMK mixture, demonstrated enhancement in compressive and tensile strengths by 14.2% and 7.7%, respectively, compared to the control mix. XRD and EDX analyses confirmed that NS and NMK enhanced the formation of calcium silicate hydrate and calcium aluminate hydrate through pozzolanic reactions. The linear attenuation of the concrete samples was NMK4 < CM2 < NS3 < C0. The sample containing NMK demonstrated the best value for the linear attenuation coefficient of gamma rays and a rise in FCS, indicating that it is an excellent barrier against both gamma rays and neutrons. These findings demonstrate that NS and NMK significantly enhance HSC strength and radiation shielding, offering safer and more durable concrete for nuclear and medical facilities.

Design of polymorphic heterogeneous shell in relaxor antiferroelectrics for ultrahigh capacitive energy storage Relaxor antiferroelectrics are considered promising candidate materials for achieving excellent energy storage capabilities. However, the trade-off between high recoverable energy density and high efficiency remains a major challenge in relaxor antiferroelectrics for practical applications. Herein, guided by phase-field simulation, we propose a strategy of designing polymorphic heterogeneous shell in core-shell dual-phase dielectrics to synergistically control micro and local heterostructures, resulting in comprehensive improvements in breakdown electric field, polarization fluctuation and saturation behaviors. Leveraging the core-shell effect and polarization heterogeneity, an ultrahigh recoverable energy density of 12.7 J cm<sup>-3</sup> and an impressive efficiency of 87.2% are achieved in lead-free relaxor antiferroelectrics, making a performance breakthrough in core-shell dielectrics. This work opens up a new avenue to efficiently develop high-performance energy storage dielectrics and is expected to be popularized in other fields.

Preparation of CeXMn1−XO2 Catalysts with Strong Mn-Ce Synergistic Effect for Catalytic Oxidation of Toluene A series of Ce-doped α-MnO<sub>2</sub> catalysts (Ce<sub>X</sub>Mn<sub>1-X</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, x = 0.04, 0.07, 0.10) were synthesized by a simple in situ hydrothermal method. It was confirmed by characterization methods such as XRD, Raman, N<sub>2</sub> adsorption-desorption and SEM confirmed that the introduction of Ce significantly regulated the microstructure of α-MnO<sub>2</sub>, specifically manifested as the reduction in grain size, the increase in defect sites, the increase in Mn-O bond length and altered morphological structure. H<sub>2</sub>-TPR, O<sub>2</sub>-TPD and XPS analyses further revealed the strong interaction between Mn and Ce, accompanied by significant electron transfer (Ce<sup>3+</sup> + Mn<sup>4+</sup> → Ce<sup>4+</sup> + Mn<sup>3+</sup>), thereby promoting the formation of Mn<sup>3+</sup> species. In the test of toluene catalytic oxidation performance, C<sub>e0.07</sub>Mn<sub>0.93</sub>O<sub>2</sub> exhibited the most excellent catalytic activity (T<sub>100</sub> = 280 °C), while also having good thermal stability and water resistance. Furthermore, the degradation pathways of toluene were analyzed by TD-GC-MS technology: Toluene → Benzene → Benzaldehyde → Maleic anhydride → CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>O.

Nanotechnology-based drug delivery for breast cancer treatment: Current applications and future directions Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most prevalent cancers in women worldwide. Limited specificity, systemic toxicity, risk of recurrence, and drug resistance are some of the drawbacks of traditional BC treatment approaches. Therefore, it is crucial to develop more effective, safe, and customized management plans for BC. The application of nanoparticle-based systems, such as liposomes, nanostructured lipid carriers, polymeric micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, and hybrid nanoparticles, has drawn significant interest in BC treatment. Nanomedicine can enhance the efficacy of drugs through active targeting, better tissue penetration, and more efficient tumor suppression via improved retention and permeability. Additionally, gene delivery using hybrid and theranostic nanomedicine has also been explored in BC treatment. Numerous nanomedicines have been used clinically for the treatment of breast cancer, some of which have already received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approval. Here, we focus on nanotechnology-based therapeutic approaches for BC treatment and highlighted their enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects. In addition, we have also explored on the possible utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) nanomedicine and bioinspired nanocarriers for BC treatment, which could pave the way for more precise, effective, and personalized therapies by improving nanoparticle design, optimizing drug delivery systems, and leveraging big data analytics.

Overcoming Biological Barriers in Cancer Therapy: Cell Membrane-Based Nanocarrier Strategies for Precision Delivery Given the unique capabilities of natural cell membranes, such as prolonged blood circulation and homotypic targeting, extensive research has been devoted to developing cell membrane-inspired nanocarriers for cancer therapy, while most focused on overcoming one or a few biological barriers. In fact, the journey of nanosystems from systemic circulation to tumor cells involves intricate processes, encompassing blood circulation, tissue accumulation, cancer cell targeting, endocytosis, endosomal escape, intracellular trafficking to target sites, and therapeutic action, all of which pose limitations to their clinical translation. This underscores the necessity of meticulously considering these biological barriers in the design of cell membrane-mimetic nanocarriers. In this review, we delineate the functions and applications of diverse types of cell membranes in nanocarrier systems. We elaborate on the biological hurdles encountered at each stage of the biomimetic nanoparticle's odyssey to the target, and comprehensively discuss the obstacles imposed by the tumor microenvironment for precise delivery. Subsequently, we systematically review contemporary cell membrane-based strategies aimed at overcoming these multi-level biological barriers, encompassing hybrid cell membrane (HCM) camouflage, tumor microenvironment remodeling, endosomal/lysosomal escape, multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal, optimization of nanoparticle physicochemical properties, and so on. Finally, we outline potential strategies to accelerate the development of cell membrane-inspired precision nanocarriers and discuss the challenges that must be addressed to enhance their clinical applicability. This review serves as a guide for refining the study of cell membrane-mimetic nanosystems in surmounting in vivo delivery barriers, thereby significantly contributing to advancing the development and application of cell membrane-based nanoparticles in cancer delivery.

Site‐Specific Spin State Modulation in Spinel Oxides for Enhanced Nonradical Oxidation Spinel oxides hold tremendous potential for driving advanced oxidation processes, yet the underlying mechanism for maximizing their activity remains unclear. In this study, we leverage tetrahedral and octahedral site interactions in Mn<sub>x</sub>Co<sub>3-x</sub>O<sub>4</sub> to modulate the spin states, specifically spin alignment and spin moment, thereby enhancing periodate (PI) activation and catalytic performance in contaminant degradation. Through combined experimental and density functional theory (DFT) analyses, we elucidate the role of spin alignment at synergetic tetrahedral and octahedral sites in facilitating quantum spin exchange interactions (QSEI) with an efficient electronic spin channel for charge transfer. Meanwhile, the engineered high spin configuration in CoMn<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> raises the d-band center, favoring stable PI* surface complex formation and accelerating the rate-determining desorption of IO<sub>3</sub> <sup>-</sup> with a lower-ICOHP value during the catalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin. As a result, the fine-tuned spin state of CoMn<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> leads to enhanced overall reaction kinetics, with a 2.5-fold increase compared to MnCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> and up to 22-fold increase compared to the octahedrally-active only catalysts. Such a site-specific modulation has been found applicable to other spinel oxides, enlightening fine-tuned electronic structure for maximizing catalytic performance.
