Multimodal Bioinspired Self‐Healing Composites Enabling Durable and High‐Efficiency Wearable Perovskite Light‐Emitting DiodesABSTRACT Wearable and flexible optoelectronic devices are rapidly advancing toward human‐interactive applications. However, their operational lifespan is often limited by mechanical damage, interface delamination, and environmental influences. Existing encapsulation methods provide only partial protection and lack autonomous repair capabilities under real‐world conditions. In this study, we present a bioinspired self‐healing polymer (SHP) composite modeled after butterfly wings. This material features a cooperative network of hydrogen bonds, disulfide exchange, and π–π interactions, enabling rapid self‐healing at room temperature without external stimuli. The SHP demonstrates outstanding stretchability (4950%), high toughness (30.47 MJ m −3 ), and environmental resilience, with healing efficiencies of 98% in water, 89% in phosphate buffer saline, and 84% at −5°C. When integrated into emissive layers, SHP‐based light emitting diodes (LEDs) achieve high luminance (9598 cd m − 2 ) and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 10.52%. Additionally, SHP‐encapsulated perovskite‐based integrated SHP LEDs reach a peak EQE of 8.43% and current efficiency of 20.67 cd A −1 . The flexible, crack‐resistant encapsulation effectively prevents moisture ingress and mechanical failure, maintaining 96% luminance after 400 bending cycles. This self‐sustained ISHP‐based strategy enhances device durability, reduces electronic waste, and supports the development of autonomous, repairable optoelectronic systems for wearable displays, smart textiles, and soft robotics. 10.08.2026 Host-Guest interactions in supramolecular chemistry2026-08-10 20:03:00

Synergistic effect of paired Cu(II) open metal sites for enhanced high-temperature hydrogen isotope separationAbstract The selective separation of hydrogen isotopes under mild cryogenic conditions remains a formidable challenge due to their nearly identical physicochemical properties. Here, we report a dual strategy of pore topology design and paired Cu(II) open metal sites (OMS) synergistic engineering to amplify chemical affinity quantum sieving (CAQS). Among three tailored Cu(II)-MOFs, Cu-ATC exhibited exceptional performance, achieving a D 2 /H 2 selectivity of 20 at 50 K (10 mbar) and 1.8 in breakthrough experiments at 77 K, demonstrating excellent H 2 /D 2 separation performance. The ultramicroporous topology of Cu-ATC fixes a Cu···Cu distance of 5.98 Å within one-dimensional channels, while Jahn–Teller distortion induces axial elongation at each Cu(II) center, thereby enhancing the accessibility of the d z 2 orbitals for interaction with hydrogen isotope molecules. This structural combination creates two closely spaced OMSs that enhance differential interactions with H 2 and D 2 , thereby driving isotope separation via CAQS. The distinct binding strength is evidenced by in situ DRIFTS (v(H-H)/ v(D-D) red-shift of 203 cm −1 / 147 cm −1 ) and by DFT calculations showing stronger adsorption of H 2 ( − 9.7 kJ mol −1 ) and D 2 ( − 13.0 kJ mol −1 ). These microscopic differences account for the observed D 2 /H 2 selectivity, highlighting the potential of paired OMSs engineering for CAQS-based isotope separation under mild cryogenic conditions. 10.08.2026 Host-Guest interactions in supramolecular chemistry2026-08-10 20:00:48

Carbon Dots as ElectrostaticallyDriven Base-SelectiveChemical Compilers for Programmable Nucleic Acid CondensationAbstract Cells execute complex biological functions through programmed biomolecular condensation, yet a general and programmable strategy for nucleic acid condensation in vitro remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate that carbon dots (CDs) function as an electrostatic-driven versatile chemical compiler that translates nucleobase sequence into programmed condensate architectures and functions. We found that citric acid-ethylene diamine carbon dots (CA–EDA CDs) drive the condensation of both ssDNA and mRNA via multiple weak interactions. Crucially, the spatially heterogeneous electrostatic potential on the CD surface decodes the distinct electrostatic properties of nucleobases through Coulomb-dominated interactions, establishing a definitive binding hierarchy (G > C > T > A), as revealed by systematic binding studies and molecular dynamics simulations. Based on this chemical compiler, we can achieve hierarchical control of the condensate structure. Furthermore, by programming condensate density via sequence engineering, we achieved switchable up- and down-regulation of GFP mRNA translation in a cell-free system, faithfully mimicking the regulatory role of natural ribonucleoprotein granules. This work establishes CDs as a versatile compiler platform for programmable nucleic acid condensation, transcending the limitations of nonspecific electrostatic neutralization and paving the way for constructing intelligent biomaterials and synthetic biological systems with encoded function.10.08.2026 Host-Guest interactions in supramolecular chemistry2026-08-10 20:00:08

Enabling molecular signaling with temperature and ionic-strength independence or programmable dependenceAbstract The equilibrium constants of chemical reactions fundamentally depend on temperature, posing challenges for living systems. However, many conformer organisms do not maintain a stable internal temperature. This raises the question: can molecular signaling pathways inherently resist temperature susceptibility? Molecular commutation is a recently discovered, fundamentally distinct mechanism of biological information processing and storage within reversible association/dissociation reactions. Here, we show that molecular commutation enables complex signaling systems that are independent of temperature and ionic strength and, even more generally, programmably dependent on these parameters. Using examples of various DNA logic gates, receptor-activator networks, and systems with complex input–output relationships (e.g., computed as algebraic functions), we demonstrate computationally that introducing compensatory reactions in these networks can render their signaling independent of temperature and ionic strength. We experimentally validate such independence for a case of a YES-logic gate. Finally, we computationally demonstrate networks with outputs that follow predefined functional forms of temperature and ionic strength (e.g., sin(T), where T is temperature). The presented intrinsic capabilities of affinity-based networks provide a remarkable homeostasis and signaling control mechanism that may be used by biological systems of arbitrarily high complexity.07.08.2026 Host-Guest interactions in supramolecular chemistry2026-08-07 20:00:06

Spectral‐Kinetic Synergy in Au‐Network Engineered FeTiO3 : A Multi‐Field Coupling Strategy for Lunar In Situ Resource UtilizationABSTRACT Currently, in situ lunar resource utilization faces two major challenges: traditional photocatalysts cannot effectively absorb and utilize infrared spectra, and there is severe kinetic inhibition. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a pioneering ‘spectral‐kinetic synergy’ strategy, constructing a unique Au‐network engineered ilmenite (AuL‐FeTiO 3 ) architecture. This network topology transforms the catalyst into a “photo‐thermal‐electric” multi‐field coupling platform. The reticulated Au architecture functions as a dual‐mode amplifier: it generates a local electromagnetic field orders of magnitude stronger than that of conventional nanoparticles via Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR), driving the production of energetic hot electrons; simultaneously, it efficiently harvests broadband infrared light to establish a localized thermal field. Crucially, in situ characterization enables us to visualize and decouple the distinct dynamics of thermally driven lattice electrons vs. plasmonic hot electrons. The study revealed that the local thermal field acts as a “kinetic promoter,” facilitating the injection of a large number of LSPR‐derived hot electrons into the Au‐FeTiO 3 interface. This mechanism significantly extends carrier lifetime and accelerates interfacial charge transfer kinetics. Crucially, this structure drives efficient photothermal CO 2 reduction. This work not only elucidates the collaborative mechanism of spectral‐kinetic coupling but also provides a transformative blueprint for designing high‐performance catalysts using indigenous lunar materials. 06.08.2026 Photocatalytic CO2 conversion, Heterogeneous photocatalytic CO2 conversion, CO2 conversion2026-08-06 20:00:11
Regulating Droplet Dynamics via Wormlike Micelle Networks: From Splash Suppression to Precise Confined SpreadingABSTRACT The high‐speed impact of droplets is fundamental to frontier applications ranging from high‐resolution inkjet printing to precision agriculture. However, simultaneously suppressing stochastic splashing and achieving controllable, uniform spreading on hydrophilic surfaces remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we report a strategy to modulate droplet dynamics, which triggers a structural transition in anionic surfactant (SDS) aggregates via quaternary ammonium cationic induction (CT 1 , CT 4 ). This transition yields a sophisticated internal wormlike micelle (WLM) network that facilitates splash‐free, spatially confined deposition. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate the dual‐regulatory role of the WLM network during high‐speed impact on cotton fabrics. Specifically, the synergistic interaction between CT 4 ‐SDS aggregates and the ionic bonding with the cellulose backbone effectively inhibits excessive spreading during the initial wetting phase. Furthermore, the entanglement of the WLM network with the hierarchical micro/nano‐structures of cellulose fibers generates a powerful interfacial mechanical pinning effect. This effect immobilizes the three‐phase contact line and constructs a spatial barrier at the spreading front. As a result, a stabilized liquid film and uniform circular deposition are ensured. Overall, this study provides a novel mechanistic pathway for steering droplet impact kinetics and offers critical insights into the design of complex fluids for high‐performance functional coating and deposition. 29.07.2026 Host-Guest interactions in supramolecular chemistry2026-07-29 20:00:03
