Article Title: Manipulating Liquid‐Liquid Interphase Solute Diffusion for the Construction of Non‐Symmetric Metal‐Quinone Network Nanoarchitectonics and Nano‐Motorization

doi: 10.1002/advs.202503164

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic diagram of the preparation process (upper panel) and formation mechanism (lower panel) of non‐symmetric MQN nanoarchitectonics. The coordination‐driven assembly of Fe 3+ and shikonin in ACN/water system results in non‐symmetric Fe/shikonin nanobowls. First, the interphase solute diffusion induces the assembly of compact MQNs at liquid‐liquid interface, which in turn inhibits solute diffusion. Then, bubbles filled with water and solvent generate and aggregate into a larger one inside interface. Next, larger bubbles close to the edge of interface. Finally, the nanostructure collapses, forming bowl‐like morphology.
