To protect formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from photoinduced deactivation, FDH was encapsulated into MAF-7, a metal-organic framework (MOF) material, to compartmentalize FDH from the toxic photoexcitation process, similar to the function of the thylakoid membrane. Moreover, the triazole linkers of MAF-7 possess both hydrophilicity and pH-buffering capacity providing a stable microenvironment for FDH, which could enhance enzyme stability in photosynthesis. The synergy between the enhanced electron transfer of TPE-C3N4 for NADH cofactor regeneration and MOF-protection of the redox enzyme enables the construction of a functionally compartmental inorganic photocatalyst-enzyme association system, promoting CO2 photoconversion to formic acid with a yield of 16.75 mM after 9 h of illumination, 3.24 times greater than that of the homogeneous reaction counterpart.We fabricated highly flexible Sr- and Ni-doped perovskite SmMnO3 thermistor film sensor arrays on an ultrathin (5 μm thick) and lightweight (21 mg) polyimide sheet for healthcare monitoring devices. The Ag nanowire and nanoparticle-impregnated carbon microcone array, which was prepared by precisely controlled surface laser carbonization of polyimide, showed sufficiently low resistance as a bottom electrode and good stability against sharp bending angles. The dot-shaped (diameter 900 μm) perovskite thermistor film with a thickness of 900 nm was crystallized by pulsed ultraviolet laser irradiation of a precursor film printed with perovskite nanoparticle dispersion ink, and the film functioned well as the thermistor with a thermistor constant of 2820 K. The thermistor sensor sheet exhibited rapid responses to temperature variation and high stability in the temperature cycle tests over 1000 cycles between room temperature and 80 °C. The bending durability for a bending angle of 60° with a small bending radius (500 μm) was also high. During the bending test over 1000 cycles, the monitoring temperature variation was suppressed only within 0.1 °C. This ultrathin sensor array sheet can be mounted on surfaces with shape variations, and we used the sensor for real-time monitoring in healthcare to detect precise temperature variations on the human skin during physical exercise.Two-dimensional materials are the essential building blocks of breakthrough membrane technologies due to minimal permeation barriers across atomically thin pores. Tunable pore size fabrication combined with independently controlled pore number density is necessary for outstanding performance but remains a challenge. There is a great need for parallel, upscalable methods that can control pore size from sub-nm to >5 nm, a pore size range required for membranes with effective molecular separation. Here we report a dry, facile, and scalable process introducing atomic defects by design, followed by selective etching of graphene edge atoms able to controllably expand the nanopore dimensions from sub-nm to 5 nm. The attainable average pore sizes at 1015 m-2 pore density promise applicability to various separation applications. We investigate the gas permeation and separation mechanisms, finding that these membranes display molecular sieving (H2/CH4 separation factor = 9.3; H2 permeance = 3370 gas permeation units (GPU)) and reveal the presence of interweaved transport phenomena of pore chemistry, surface flow, and gas molecule momentum transfer. We observe the smooth transition from molecular sieving to effusion at unprecedented permeance (H2/CH4 separation factor = 3.7; H2 permeance = 107 GPU). Our scalable graphene membrane fabrication approach in combination with sub-5 nm pores opens a new route employing 2D membranes to study gas transport and effectively paving the way to industrial applications.Colloidal core/shell heterostructured quantum dots (QDs) possessing quasi-type II band structure have demonstrated effective surface passivation and prolonged exciton lifetime, leading to enhanced charge separation/transfer
