Trap Depth Modulation and Antenna Effect of Organic Ligands for Enhancing Rare‐Earth Long Persistent LuminescenceABSTRACT Rare‐earth long persistent luminescence (LPL) materials with unique light‐storage properties show great promise for diverse applications. However, modifying the optical properties of such materials is extremely challenging due to their inherent characteristics. Here, we propose a coordination modification strategy that not only deepens the trap depth but also enhances the light‐capturing capability of rare‐earth LPL materials by introducing organic ligands as an antenna. Unlike previous single‐case demonstrations, this strategy is systematically validated across multiple LPL hosts with different afterglow colors, including green (SrAl 2 O 4 :Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ ), red (Sr 0.75 Ca 0.25 S:Eu 2+ ), and blue (SrSiO 3 :Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ ). Experimental results demonstrate that the afterglow intensity, brightness, and duration of the organic–inorganic hybrid LPL materials have been significantly enhanced compared to the original LPL materials. Based on this performance breakthrough, we further demonstrate the application potential of these materials in diverse scenarios, including flexible displays, intelligent sensors, and multi‐level information encryption. This work not only provides an efficient method for enhancing the performance of multi‐color long persistent luminescence materials but also offers new design insights for developing novel organic–inorganic hybrid luminescent systems. 26.05.2026 Host-Guest interactions in supramolecular chemistry

A Symmetric Cogeneration Fuel Cell for Coupled Production of Hydrogen, Ammonia and FormateABSTRACT Electrochemical synthesis offers a sustainable route to convert abundant feedstocks into value‐added chemicals under mild conditions and couple chemical manufacturing with renewable electricity. However, its practical impact is often limited by system‐level energy inefficiency, motivating rational reaction pairing to reduce energy input while upgrading product value. Here, we develop a symmetric cogeneration fuel cell that couples one‐electron formaldehyde oxidation reaction with nitrate reduction to co‐produce hydrogen, ammonia and formate while generating electricity. This symmetric cell was enabled by a FOR and NO 3 RR bifunctional Cu nano leaves coated with Co(OH) 2 catalyst, which constructs an interfacial hydrogen network capable of synchronizing NO 3 – reduction with active hydrogen delivery. As a result, the catalyst achieves an industrial current density of 2.35 A cm −2 at −1 V vs RHE with a high Faradaic efficiency of 96.38%. Operating at 35°C, the symmetric cell delivers a peak power density of 13.24 mW cm −2 , representing the highest value reported to date for unassisted ammonia synthesis systems. This work establishes a simple yet versatile strategy for integrating value‐added chemical synthesis with electricity generation and offers a generalizable framework for other paired electrosynthesis processes. 25.05.2026 Chemicals used as sacrificial electron donor
Spontaneous Non‐Catalyzed Molecular Reactions and Interactions in the Human Body: Biomedical ImplicationsABSTRACT The human body functions as a natural reactor for a vast network of chemical and biological reactions and physical interactions among small molecules, proteins, cells, and numerous other components. These reactions/interactions are essential for maintaining normal physiological functions. From an engineering perspective, these molecular reactions and interactions can be exploited for disease diagnosis, therapeutic interventions, and a variety of biomedical applications. In this review, we summarize non‐catalyzed molecular reactions and interactions that occur spontaneously under physiological conditions without enzymatic mediation. We discuss their biomedical implications in disease diagnosis, drug delivery, and biomaterials for regenerative and cellular engineering. Looking forward, we highlight emerging opportunities to leverage these spontaneous non‐catalyzed reactions and interactions in drug design, nonenzymatic activation of genome editing in synthetic biology, and non‐genetic surface modification and activation of immune cells.25.05.2026 Host-Guest interactions in supramolecular chemistry

Streptavidins Coordinate Biotin Sequestration and Self‐Resistance Within a Biotin‐Pathway Antibiotic NetworkABSTRACT Streptavidin, the well‐known biotin‐binding protein extensively used in biotechnology, is naturally co‐produced in Streptomyces avidinii alongside stravidins—inhibitors of biotin biosynthesis. Here, we uncover and activate a conserved genomic region flanked by two streptavidin genes, revealing multiple biosynthetic gene clusters that produce diverse biotin‐related metabolites, including stravidins, acidomycin, α‐methyl‐KAPA, α‐methyldesthiobiotin, and the novel non‐proteinogenic amino acid 2‐aminonona‐5,7‐dienedioic acid (ANDA). We show α‐methyldesthiobiotin arises from α‐methyl‐KAPA, illustrating how methylated analogues interfere with distinct steps of biotin biosynthesis. Contrary to the view that streptavidin functions solely by sequestering biotin, our biochemical, structural, and bioactivity analyses demonstrate that it also binds acidomycin, neutralizing its antibacterial activity to protect the producer while likely facilitating compound secretion. The crystal structure of the streptavidin–acidomycin complex reveals the molecular basis for this dual functionality. Our findings establish a multifunctional streptavidin that integrates biotin sequestration and self‐resistance to balance an antibiotic network targeting the biotin pathway in microbial competition. 23.05.2026 Host-Guest interactions in supramolecular chemistry

Lewis‐Acid Engineering with Neodymium Promoters as Synergistic Nd‐Ni Dual Sites for Enhanced Urea OxidationABSTRACT The sluggish kinetics of the urea oxidation reaction (UOR) are strongly associated with the high energy barriers required for the C‐N cleavage and N‐N coupling steps. While nickel‐based catalysts are promising, their performance is limited by high operational potentials and structural instability. This work introduces neodymium (Nd) as a Lewis acid site promoter into a nickel‐based framework to create Nd‐Ni oxide catalysts. The strong Lewis acidity of Nd centers enhances urea adsorption and facilitates C‐N cleavage and N‐N coupling, while the significant electronegativity difference between Nd and Ni induces electronic redistribution for optimizing intermediate adsorption for UOR. As a result, the optimal catalyst demonstrates superior UOR performance, in which a low potential of 1.347 V is required to achieve 10 mA cm −2 accompanied by excellent cycling stability. When integrated into a Zn‐urea battery, it delivers a peak power density of 11.6 mW cm −2 . This study highlights the critical role of Lewis‐acid engineering via rare‐earth metal incorporation in restructuring reaction pathways, and offers a promising strategy for advancing renewable energy conversion. 22.05.2026 Chemicals used as sacrificial electron donor
