The copper-based materials were considered as promising catalysts for the activation of peroxydisulfate (PDS), but the study on the Cu 2 S-activated PDS under LED illumination and alkaline condition was little reported. In this work, Cu 2 S, a simple and readily available heterogeneous catalyst, was employed to enhance the activation of PDS under alkaline condition through LED illumination. The results indicated that under LED illumination, the degradation rate of tetracycline (TC) during the first 15 min was 3.55 times higher than that of the darkness. A series of important influencing factors were optimized, including anions, humic acid and complex water matrices. The results showed that the Cu 2 S/PDS/LED system exhibited excellent adaptability. Besides, the Cu 2 S maintained a good stability. The quenching experiments and electron spin resonance analysis demonstrated that the electron transfer and 1 O 2 were two primary pathways for the degradation of TC, and also other species such as SO 4 •- and •OH played important roles. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization and a series of experiments confirmed that the Cu + was the primary catalytic active site, while the S 2- could directly activate PDS and accelerate the cycles of Cu 2+ /Cu + . The toxicity test proved that the toxicity of TC decreased after the degradation. This study not only highlighted the potential of the Cu 2 S/PDS/LED system for efficient TC degradation under alkaline condition but also provided new insights for the development of Cu-based catalytic technologies.

In this investigation, AgBr/g-C3N4 composite as an effective LED-irradiation photocatalyst was synthesized via a one-pot method. In this composite, the colloidal spheres of AgBr were uniformly dispersed on the g-C3N4 nanosheets, which were
characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The introduction of g-C3N4
nanosheets improved the stability and optimized the spatial charge carrier transfer compared to pristine AgBr, hence exhibited excellent activities toward the degradation of methyl orange (MO) as evidenced by the discoloration rate of MO by 94.8% after 120 min of irradiation. Also, the mechanism
based on the band structures and microstructures of the catalysts was then proposed.

Under illumination of light-emitting diode (LED) or sunlight, the green color of all-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (CPB-NCs) often quickly changes to yellow, followed by large photoluminescence (PL) loss. To figure out what is happening on CPB-NCs during the color change process, the morphology, structure, and PL evolutions are systematically investigated by varying the influence factors of illumination, moisture, oxygen, and temperature. We find that the yellow color is mainly originated from the large CPB crystals formed in the illumination process. With maximized isolation of oxygen for the sandwiched film or the uncovered film stored in nitrogen, the color change can be dramatically slowed down whether there is water vapor or not. Under dark condition, the PL emissions are not significantly influenced by the varied relative humidity (RH) levels and temperatures up to 60 °C. Under the precondition of oxygen or air, color change and PL loss become more obvious when increasing the illumination power or RH level, and the large-sized cubic CPB crystals are further evolved into the oval-shaped crystals. We confirm that oxygen is the crucial factor to drive the color change, which has the strong synergistic effect with the illumination and moisture for the degradation of the CPB film. Meanwhile, the surface decomposition and the increased charge trap states occurred in the formed large CPB crystals play important roles for the PL loss.

Dispersion photopolymerization was carried out under green LED irradiation to rapidly prepare monodisperse poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microspheres with small size by using a high-efficient three-component initiating system. The polymerization parameters including exposure time, MMA content, stirring speed, water ratio and PVP content were systematically investigated. Crucial parameters were further optimized by response surface method (RSM), and a corresponding polymerization mechanism was proposed. Finally, PMMA microspheres with 375.6 nm of size and 0.101 of PDI were prepared. This study provides a facile method for the rapid fabrication of PMMA microspheres.

The current photoinitiator (PI) is effective under mercury lamps but exhibits limited selectivity towards different radiation sources, which hinders its compatibility with eco-friendly LED lighting and raises concerns about toxicity and deep coloration. Capsanthin (Cap), with its strong photo-absorption in the 400–500 nm range, utilizes its conjugated structure to align the PI's absorption wavelength with the LED's emission spectrum . This study introduced Cap as a natural photosensitizer (PS) for free radical photopolymerization under LED irradiation. The Cap-based initiation system demonstrated promising photoinitiating capabilities under a 405 nm LED , achieving over 50 % double bond conversion in polymerized monomers . Furthermore, the system's photobleaching properties were exceptional, and its cytotoxicity was significantly lower than that of traditional PIs, such as benzoin methyl ether. The Cap's photochemical behavior under LED irradiation was explored, investigating its photoinitiating capacity and mechanism through fluorescence, photolysis, and electron paramagnetic resonance techniques. This research is vital for developing bio-based photoinitiating systems for photopolymerization in LED light environments.

High positive charge-induced toxicity, easy lysosomal degradation of nucleic acid drugs, and poor lesion sites targeting are major problems faced in the development of gene carriers. Herein, we proposed the concept of self-escape non-cationic gene carriers for targeted delivery and treatment of photocontrolled hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with sufficient lysosome escape and multiple response capacities. Functional DNA was bound to the surface of biotin-PEG 2000 -modified graphitic carbon nitride (Bio-PEG-CN) nanosheets to form non-cationic nanocomplexes Bio-PEG-CN/DNA. These nanocomposites could actively target HCC tissue. Once these nanocomplexes were taken up by tumor cells, the accumulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by Bio-PEG-CN under LED irradiation would disrupt the lysosome structure, thereby facilitating nanocomposites escape. Due to the acidic microenvironment and lipase in the HCC tissue, the reversible release of DNA could be promoted to complete the transfection process. Meanwhile, the fluorescence signal of Bio-PEG-CN could be monitored in real time by fluorescence imaging technology to investigate the transfection process and mechanism. In vitro and in vivo results further demonstrated that these nanocomplexes could remarkably upregulate the expression of tumor suppressor protein P53, increased tumor sensitivity to ROS generated by nanocarriers, and realized effective gene therapy for HCC via loading P53 gene.

A 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-grafted chitin film (O-CT/ALA film) with a photodynamic inactivation (PDI) against bacteria was previously fabricated, and its preservation efficiency and mechanisms against salmon were explored. Results showed that the PDI-mediated O-CT/ALA film exhibited sustained generation capability of ROS, which had potent antibacterial activity in vitro under blue LED irradiation. Moreover, this film significantly inactivated the native bacteria and suppressed their growth in salmon fillets during storage at 4 °C and 25 °C, extending the shelf-life by >2 days compared to commercial polyethylene film. Consequently, the O-CT/ALA film retained the textural integrity of salmon muscle, stabilized the physicochemical properties of pH value, electrical conductivity, color appearance, and reduced the level of protein and lipid oxidation. Notably, it obviously reduced the accumulation of microbial metabolites and oxidation-related volatile compounds in salmon. Therefore, the PDI-mediated film shows a valid ability in preserving the storage quality of aquatic products.

Herein, a facile method combining in-situ generation of potassium oleate (KOA) and miniemulsion photopolymerization under green LED irradiation was proposed to prepare poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) nanospheres . A miniemulsion containing methyl methacrylate (MMA) was prepared in situ, in which KOA as a surfactant was synthesized by the neutralization reaction of oleic acid (OA) and potassium hydroxide (KOH), and then miniemulsion photopolymerization occurred to obtain PMMA nanospheres under green LED irradiation. Emulsion stability test proved that the in-situ surfactant miniemulsion has higher stability than the preformed surfactant miniemulsion. The effect of surfactant amount and exposure time on photopolymerization was investigated. Furthermore, hexadecane (HD) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were introduced into the polymerization system to avoid the adverse effect of Ostwald ripening and particle agglomeration respectively, and PMMA nanospheres with uniform sizes of ∼100 nm were finally prepared.

Green and efficient preparation of hydrogel beads remains a great challenge. In this study, the hydrogel beads (AGSP) were directly prepared within 10 s from drop-out to drop-down of the droplets in paraffin oil under green LED irradiation using sodium acrylate and acrylamide as the functional monomers, methacrylated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCSG) as a crosslinker based on carboxymethyl chitosan and poly(ethylene glycol) as porogen. Molar ratios of monomers were modified to optimize the adsorption of hydrogel beads, and the optimal adsorption capacity for malachite green (MG) was 503.33 mg·g −1 . Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to determine the structural characteristics of the hydrogel beads. The removal of MG by AGSP was investigated and the adsorption kinetics and isotherms were calculated to understand the adsorption mechanism. Our research provides a green and efficient technique for preparing hydrogel beads for dye removal.
