<a>Three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline porous polymers with potential in numerous high-tech applications, but the linkages involved in their synthesis are still rather limited. Herein we report the first </a><a>case of 3D sp<sup>2</sup> carbon-linked COFs</a> fabricated by the formation reaction of C=C bonds and their application in bioresponsive fluorescence imaging. These new COFs, namely JUC-580 and JUC-581, showed high stability and excellent light-emitting properties in solid state and dispersed in various solvents. <a>Furthermore, we investigated </a>the potential application of JUC-581 for a drug carrier combined with bioresponsive fluorescence imaging. The results indicated that 3D sp<sup>2</sup> carbon-linked COFs are not only potential drug-loaded and sustained release materials but also promising cell fluorescent stains. This study expands the structural categories of 3D COFs based on different linkages, and promotes their prospective applications for biomedicine and fluorescent materials.

The indium tin oxide (ITO) has been widely applied in light emitting diodes (LEDs) as the transparent current spreading layer. In this work, the performance of GaN-based blue light LEDs with nanopatterned ITO electrode is investigated. Periodic nanopillar ITO arrays are fabricated by inductive coupled plasma etching with the mask of polystyrene nanosphere. The light extraction efficiency (LEE) of LEDs can be improved by nanopatterned ITO ohmic contacts. The light output intensity of the fabricated LEDs with nanopatterned ITO electrode is 17% higher than that of the conventional LEDs at an injection current of 100 mA. Three-dimensional finite difference time domain simulation matches well with the experimental result. This method may serve as a practical approach to improving the LEE of the LEDs.

Diatom microalgae are the most outstanding natural source of porous silica. The diatom cell is enclosed in a three-dimensional (3-D) ordered nanopatterned silica cell wall, called frustule. The unique properties of the diatom frustule, including high specific surface area, thermal stability, biocompatibility, and tailorable surface chemistry, make diatoms really promising for biomedical applications. Moreover, they are easy to cultivate in an artificial environment and there is a large availability of diatom frustules as fossil material (diatomite) in several areas of the world. For all these reasons, diatoms are an intriguing alternative to synthetic materials for the development of low-cost drug delivery systems. This review article focuses on the possible use of diatom-derived silica as drug carrier systems. The functionalization strategies of diatom micro/nanoparticles for improving their biophysical properties, such as cellular internalization and drug loading/release kinetics, are described. In addition, the realization of hybrid diatom-based devices with advanced properties for theranostics and targeted or augmented drug delivery applications is also discussed.
