Nano titanium dioxide (TiO2) with photocatalytic activity was firstly modified by diethanolamine, and it was then doped with broad spectrum antibacterial silver (Ag) by in situ method. Further, both Ag doped TiO2-chitosan (STC) and TiO2-chitosan (TC) composites were prepared by the inverse emulsion cross-linking reaction. The antibacterial activities of STC composites were studied and their antibacterial mechanisms under visible light were investigated. The results show that in situ doping and inverse emulsion method led to good dispersion of Ag and TiO2nanoparticles on the cross-linked chitosan microsphere. The STC with regular particle size of 1–10 μm exhibited excellent antibacterial activity againstE. coli,P. aeruginosaandS. aureusunder visible light. It is believed that STC with particle size of 1–10 μm has large specific surface area to contact with bacterial cell wall. The increased antibacterial activity was attributed to the enhancement of both electron-hole separations at the surface of nano-TiO2by the silver ions under the visible light, and the synergetic and sustained release of strong oxidizing hydroxyl radicals of nano-TiO2, together with silver ions against bacteria. Thus, STC composites have great potential applications as antibacterial agents in the water treatment field.Keywords:cross-linked chitosan;silver;titanium dioxide;photocatalytic antibacterial

Novel g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 5 O 7 I heterojunction microspheres having excellent photocatalytic activity were successfully prepared by a one-pot ethylene glycol (EG)-assisted hydrothermal method followed by calcination in air. Bi 5 O 7 I microspheres grafted with g-C 3 N 4 nano-sheets were formed and studied by electron microscopy. The morphological effects on g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 5 O 7 I photocatalytic capability with varied g-C 3 N 4 contents were investigated and discussed. The g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 5 O 7 I microspheres exhibited much improved photocatalytic degradation performance under visible light irradiation compared with bare Bi 5 O 7 I and g-C 3 N 4 . The preparation conditions of g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 5 O 7 I microspheres with optimal photocatalytic ability for degrading methyl orange (MO) and rhodamine (RhB) were established. Analyses by both photoluminescence (PL) and photocurrent independently confirmed that photo-induced electron-hole pairs in the g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 5 O 7 I composite have been effectively created which was responsible for the observed photocatalysis. Based on the analysis of the experiment results, a Z-Scheme heterojunction photocatalytic mechanism was proposed. The excellent photocatalytic performance could be attributed to the effective charge separation at the interface between g-C 3 N 4 and Bi 5 O 7 I and the enhanced visible light absorption. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism was discussed on the basis of the relative band positions of these two semiconductor materials.

In the context of prodrug nanomedicines for cancer therapy, one of the great challenges is the slow and variable release of the parent drug in tumors. Recently, many smart redox-sensitive nanocarriers have been developed to address this problem. However, due to significant tumor heterogeneity, some redox-sensitive nanomedicines still show poor selectivity in drug release. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a ROS-triggered prodrug nanoplatform fabricated with oxidation-responsive cabazitaxel (CTX) prodrugs for synergistic chemo-photodynamic therapy, thioether-/selenoether-linked conjugates of CTX and oleic acid (OA). These prodrugs can be readily self-assembled into nanoparticles, with pyropheophorbide a (PPa) co-encapsulated into the prodrug-nanosystem for combination therapy. The dual-source ROS-responsive prodrug nanosystems selectively and rapidly release CTX not only in response to endogenous ROS overproduced in tumor cells, but also to exogenous PPa-generated ROS under laser irradiation. Moreover, the selenium-containing linkage demonstrates significant advantages over a sulfur-containing linkage in terms of ROS-triggered drug release and cytotoxicity. The prepared prodrug-nanosystems significantly prolong the systemic circulation and tumor distribution of both CTX and PPa, thereby demonstrating synergistic chemo-photodynamic therapy in vivo. All these drug delivery advantages render the nanosystem extremely promising for cancer treatment.

Recently, nano-sized ultrasound contrast agents encapsulating drugs for cancer diagnosis and therapy have attracted much attention. However, the ultrasound signal of these agents is too weak to obtain an ideal ultrasound imaging effect. Furthermore, conventional ultrasound contrast agents with strong echo signal are not suitable for drug delivery against cancer because of their large size. To circumvent this problem, phase-transition ultrasound contrast agents are believed to be an excellent choice. Methods: Liposomes co-encapsulating doxorubicin (DOX), hollow gold nanospheres (HAuNS), and perfluorocarbon (PFC) were synthesized by film dispersion method. The morphology, particle size, and stability of these liposomes (DHPL) were investigated. The photothermal effect, drug release, particle size change, cytotoxicity, and ultrasound imaging were studied by using the near infrared (NIR) light. Furthermore, tumor accumulation of DHPL was observed by in vivo fluorescence imaging and the antitumor effect was verified in a 4T1 tumor model. Results: The nanosystem displayed a homogeneous size distribution (~200 nm) and an efficient light-to-heat conversion effect under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation. The nanometer size enabled considerable accumulation of DHPL in the tumor sites. The localized hyperthermia resulting from the photothermal effect of HAuNS could trigger the size transformation of DHPL followed by significant DOX release. Due to the gasification of PFC, a remarkably enhanced ultrasound signal was detected. DHPL also exhibited a prominent photothermally reinforced chemotherapeutic effect under the control of NIR light both in vitro and in vivo . Importantly, no systemic toxicity was observed by DHPL treatment. Conclusion: In this study, we fabricated multi-functional perfluorocarbon liposomes for ultrasound imaging-guided photothermal chemotherapy which have the potential to serve as a prospective cancer treatment approach.

Controlling surface states using different functional groups is an effective and facile way to modulate the fluorescence of carbon dots (CDs), but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear and urgent to solve. In this work, we synthesized red emitting CDs and achieved multiple emission states (red, green and blue emission) by tailoring the surface states with different amino groups. In particular, the luminescence mechanism and the role of surface states were studied in detail. It is found that the multiple emission states are related to the speciation of nitrogen (pyridinic N, pyrrolic N, graphitic N and amino N) on the surface of CDs, of which the fluorophore formed by the deformation of p-phenylenediamine contributes to the red emission, pyridinic N is responsible for the green emission state, and pyrrolic N enhances the blue emission. A possible energy level diagram was proposed to disclose the electron transition process and relative levels induced by different surface groups on CDs. In addition, the modulated CDs with multiple emission states can be used as single light converters to fabricate a white light-emitting diode, which has white light color coordinates of (0.31, 0.32), a high color rendering index (CRI) of 85, a luminous efficiency of 8.8 lm W−1 and good stability.

Photoactivated therapy is an exciting new method of cancer treatment. A new light-stimulus dual-drug responsive nanoparticles based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSN) were developed to control cellular anticancer drug release. The prepared Curcumin(Cur)-loaded nanoparticles MSN-Pt-PEG@Cur[PEG=poly(ethylene glycol)] could be activated by photostimulation to generate reactive oxygen species(ROS) from Cur and Pt(II) from Pt(IV), respectively. Compared with free anti-cancer drugs’ chemotherapy and single photoactivated therapy, the prepared MSN-Pt-PEG@Cur displayed increased cytotoxicity. Therefore, the strategy of light-stimulus dual-drug responsive nanoparticles is a promising approach to photoactivated therapy.

A novel hydrogel photocatalyst (p(HEA-APTM)-BiOI) was synthesized by irradiation polymerization and chemical precipitation method, while employed as peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator to enhance methylparaben (MP) degradation. The structure, morphology and physicochemical properties of the prepared p(HEA-APTM)-BiOI were characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, FTIR and BET. The experimental results revealed that the MP catalytic degradation by p(HEA-APTM)-BiOI activated PMS can achieve the best performance under the visible light irradiation. In addition, the parameters including the molar radio of [PMS]/[MP], initial pH, Cl − and HCO 3 − were also investigated in detail. It was worth noting that p(HEA-APTM)-BiOI also effectively eliminated MP in the absence of visible light. Based on the quenching experiment, 1 O 2 , h + and O 2 − were determined as the dominant active species contributing to the catalytic oxidation process in the p(HEA-APTM)-BiOI/PMS/Vis system, and the possible degradation mechanism was also elaborated. Eventually, the possible pathways of MP degradation were deduced from several intermediates identified by HPLC-MS.

As a kind of reptile that can move in a sophisticated environment by periodic changes in body shape, a snake's locomotion mode has inspired the design of several novel robots. Yet, most of those conventional robots are constructed by rigid components and powered by electricity. Herein, a novel snake-inspired soft robot by fabricating triple-layer reduced graphene oxide and polydopamine is reported. Such soft material is capable of bidirectional deformation while near-infrared (NIR) light is projected at different regions. It allows the robot to move continuously by periodically changing body shape on demand without external forces or torques. The designed robot can achieve two locomotion modes like a snake, i.e., concertina locomotion and serpentine locomotion modes, corresponding to external NIR light stimulation. It paves a new way for the fabrication and control of soft robot which can be applied to medical treatment, rescue operation, and so on in the future.

Novel CsPbBr3/CdS core/shell structure quantum dots (QDs) were successfully synthesized using a facile hot-injection method. The corresponding CsPbBr3/CdS QDs based light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) were further prepared, which demonstrated the maximum luminance of 354 cd/m2 and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.4% with the current efficiency (CE) of 0.3 cd/A. Moreover, the optoelectronic performance of the CsPbBr3/CdS QDs based QLEDs exhibited a comparable enhancement in contrast to the pure CsPbBr3 QDs based QLEDs. Hypothetically, the novel CsPbBr3/CdS structure QDs introduced one new route for advanced light emission applications of perovskite materials.

A series of Fe 2 O 3 and TiO 2 immobilized on NZVI modified zeolite composites ((n)Fe 2 O 3 –TiO 2 /FeZ) were synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal method combined with calcination for oxytetracycline (OTC) removal. Some of the zero valent iron particles (NZVI) were impregnated into the framework of zeolite X by hydrothermal method and others were oxidized to Fe 2 O 3 through calcination. The TiO 2 and Fe 2 O 3 particles were immobilized on the surface of zeolite X. Compared with pure Fe 2 O 3 –TiO 2 , the OTC adsorption and photocatalytic degradation efficiency of (n)Fe 2 O 3 –TiO 2 /FeZ increased sharply. As the weight ratio of NZVI to TiO 2 was six and four, the sample had the highest adsorption efficiency (95%) and showed the highest total efficiency (98%) via adsorption and visible light—driven photocatalytic activity for the degradation of OTC, respectively. The materials also had good cyclic stability and the removal efficiency reached up to above 80% after four runs. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism was proposed. The improved photocatalytic activities and stabilities of (n)Fe 2 O 3 –TiO 2 /FeZ for OTC degradation were ascribed to the enhanced adsorption capacity of FeZ, the strong absorbance in the visible light region and improved photo-induced charge carriers separation.

In this study, we prepared carbon self-doped carbon nitride nanosheets through a glucose synergic co-condensation method. In the carbon self-doped structure, the N atoms in the triazine rings were substituted by C atoms, resulting in enhanced visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen production, which is three-times higher than that of bulk carbon nitride. The enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production was attributed to the higher charge-carrier transfer rate and widened light absorption range of the carbon nitride nanosheets after carbon self-doping. Thus, this work highlights the importance of carbon self-doping for improving the photocatalytic performance. Meanwhile, it provides a feasible method for the preparation of carbon self-doped carbon nitride without destroying the 2D conjugated backbone structures.Keywords:carbon nitride nanosheets;carbon self-doping;photocatalytic hydrogen production;charge transfer rate

Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites are emerging as promising light-emitting materials due to their superior photophysical properties. Poor surface coverage creating substantial pinholes and shunt paths, nevertheless, is one of the most severe problems that hinder the further development of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). Here in this work, we demonstrated a fabrication of PeLEDs by using a robust, stable, and highly transparent poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) polymer to passivate the pinholes of CH3NH3PbBr3 emissive layer and hence reduce the non-radiative losses through the shunt paths formed by the pinholes. Uniform surface coverage and reduced leakage current were achieved. Green electroluminescence (EL) emission centered at ~534 nm was greatly boosted by a factor of 10 at 8 V with optimizing the thickness of the PMMA modifier. This facile and universal technique provides an effective way to circumvent the poor formation of the CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite film and may be very helpful in the development of PeLEDs.
