Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) have attracted widespread attention due to their durability to the environment. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop new technologies that are environmentally friendly, energy saving, and compatible to degrade these pollutants. In this study, a vis–NIR-driven and highly efficient S-scheme photocatalyst, WO 3− x /S doped g-C 3 N 4 , is used for PPCPs degradation. The results show that the photocatalytic activity of WO 3− x /S doped g-C 3 N 4 composite system for PPCPs is much higher than that of WO 3− x and g-C 3 N 4 . The introduced WO 3− x has a great positive effect on the photocatalytic performance of WO 3− x /S doped g-C 3 N 4 S-scheme composite photocatalyst for both naproxen and diclofenac. Due to the fast photogenerated carrier separation brought by the S-scheme, the WO 3− x /S-doped g-C 3 N 4 nanocomposite exhibits enhanced performance in photocatalytic PPCPs degradation. The degradation rate of naproxen is 99.2%, and the degradation rate of diclofenac can also be as high as 99.5%. This research has important reference value for the synthesis of WO 3 -based S-scheme photocatalysts for energy and environmental applications.

Background Infectious diseases caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, especially MDR Gram-negative strains, have become a global public health challenge. Multifunctional nanomaterials for controlling MDR bacterial infections via eradication of planktonic bacteria and their biofilms are of great interest.Results In this study, we developed a multifunctional platform (TG-NO-B) with single NIR laser-triggered PTT and NO release for synergistic therapy against MDR Gram-negative bacteria and their biofilms. When located at the infected sites, TG-NO-B was able to selectively bind to the surfaces of Gram-negative bacterial cells and their biofilm matrix through covalent coupling between the BA groups of TG-NO-B and the bacterial LPS units, which could greatly improve the antibacterial efficiency, and reduce side damages to ambient normal tissues. Upon single NIR laser irradiation, TG-NO-B could generate hyperthermia and simultaneously release NO, which would synergistically disrupt bacterial cell membrane, further cause leakage and damage of intracellular components, and finally induce bacteria death. On one hand, the combination of NO and PTT could largely improve the antibacterial efficiency. On the other hand, the bacterial cell membrane damage could improve the permeability and sensitivity to heat, decrease the photothermal temperature and avoid damages caused by high temperature. Moreover, TG-NO-B could be effectively utilized for synergistic therapy against the in vivo infections of MDR Gram-negative bacteria and their biofilms and accelerate wound healing as well as exhibit excellent biocompatibility both in vitro and in vivo.Conclusion sOur study demonstrates that TG-NO-B can be considered as a promising alternative for treating infections caused by MDR Gram-negative bacteria and their biofilms.

Given the severe environmental pollution caused by low utilization efficiency of conventional pesticides, developing intelligent, eco-friendly nanopesticides is imperative. Enhancing foliar retention and stimuli-responsive release are common strategies, yet current nano-delivery systems still suffer from insufficient foliar adhesion stability and environmental responsiveness. This work fabricated a pH/NIR dual-responsive system based on tannic acid-modified urchin-like α-Fe₂O₃. The system reinforces foliar anchoring via the synergistic effect of its spiny morphology and hydrogen-bonding interactions, with 1.5-fold higher retention than spherical particles. Moreover, this system enhances imidacloprid (IMI) photostability by 70 % relative to free IMI, with encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity of 26.64 % and 10.22 %, respectively. Relative to single-responsive systems, it features a NIR-boosted pH-responsive mechanism that enables precise pesticide release, thus achieving a 95.5 % mortality rate against target pests at low concentrations. Additionally, it exhibits favorable biocompatibility verified by cellular and zebrafish assays, while iron ions released from degradation promote plant growth. Therefore, this system integrates the synergistic functions of enhanced foliar retention, improved photostability, precise drug release, and crop growth promotion. These results validate its potential in boosting pesticide utilization and alleviating environmental risks, offering new perspectives for designing high-efficiency, eco-friendly nanopesticide formulations.

Bacterial infections and excessive oxidative stress severely impede the wound healing process, and the development of multifunctional wound dressings with antibacterial, antioxidant, and biosafety properties is of great clinical significance. In this study, DAHA/CMCS/Ag@PDA (DCA) injectable hydrogels were successfully prepared by dual-dynamic crosslinking of Schiff base and hydrogen bonds. Dopamine graft-modified oxidized hyaluronic acid (DAHA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) constructed a dynamic and reversible cross-linking network of the hydrogel, which endowed the hydrogel with excellent injectable, self-healing, shape-adaptive, and high adhesion properties. Meanwhile, DAHA and Ag@PDA, which are rich in catechol groups, provided the hydrogels with highly efficient synergistic antioxidant properties, which could effectively scavenge various free radicals. In addition, the loading of Ag@PDA endowed the hydrogel with excellent Ag + release and NIR-II photothermal conversion properties, and DCA2 could realize efficient killing (99.6%) of S. aureus and E. coli through the synergistic action of Ag + slow release and NIR-II photothermal, which could effectively promote the healing of bacterial-infected wounds. In conclusion, this study provides a new design strategy for hydrogel dressings for the treatment of bacterial-infected wound healing through the multifunctional integration of NIR-II photothermal synergistic antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

The clinical failure of infected bone repair is primarily due to the inability of conventional scaffolds to simultaneously eradicate resilient biofilms and orchestrate the subsequent bone regeneration within the hostile inflammatory microenvironment. In this study, we developed a NIR assisted composite scaffold based on a 3D printed polycaprolactone (PCL) framework coated with a gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel containing copper hydroxyphosphate (CuHP) and melatonin (MT). Under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, the scaffold exhibited enhanced antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus via photothermal effects. The presence of MT was associated with reduced local inflammation and increased M2 like macrophage markers in vivo, although direct immunomodulatory mechanisms were not proven. The scaffold supported osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) in vitro and promoted new bone formation in an acute rat model of infected femoral defect. This study presents a promising combination system.

In the present study, glutathione-capped gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@GSH) were prepared by an improved hydrothermal method , which showed near-infrared (NIR) emission centered at 805 nm. Besides, Ag + can induce the NIR emission transformations in a two-stage mode under different concentration ranges of Ag + . At the first stage (0.50–15 μM), a new emission at 615 nm was generated while the original NIR emission was quenched upon Ag + addition; at the second stage (15–120 μM), it shifted to 720 nm gradually along with more Ag + addition, which realized precise regulation of the emission range of metal nanoclusters from red to NIR region. The in-depth mechanism investigation revealed the transformations in both stages originated from the anti-galvanic reaction (AGR) of AuNCs toward Ag + and Ag deposition. In detail, the first stage was attributed to the formation of bimetallic gold and silver nanoclusters (Au-AgNCs); while the second stage ascribed to the Ag deposition-induced size growth and composition changes of Au-AgNCs. Therefore, the present study supplies a simple and rapid method for preparing NIR-emitted AuNCs and provides a facile approach to regulate the photoluminescence ranges based on the AGR and Ag deposition.

Lenvatinib (LEN) combined with immune checkpoint PD-1 blockade is among the most effective treatment strategies for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and has been deemed a breakthrough therapy by the Food and Drug Administration. However, this combined strategy is associated with disadvantages such as non-tumor targeted aggregation and low oral bioavailability after long-term administration of LEN, and some patients show poor responses to immunotherapy as well. To overcome these drawbacks, SP94 peptide-modified thermal-sensitive micelles (SP94-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(acrylamide- co -acrylonitrile, SP94-PEG-p(AAm- co -AN)) with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) of 43 °C were designed. The micelles were further co-loaded with LEN and IR-1061-Acridine (IR-1061-AcD) to simultaneously achieve small molecule targeted drug, photothermal and photodynamic therapy for HCC under the guidance of near-infrared second-region (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging. After intravenous injection, the co-loaded micelles (SP94-PEG-p(AAm- co -AN)/LEN/IR-1061-AcD, SPLI) showed greater accumulation at tumor sites because SP94 has a high affinity for glucoregulatory protein 78 (GRP78), which is overexpressed on HCC cells. Given these HCC-targeted effects, SPLI appeared useful for NIR-II fluorescence imaging, enabling real-time tumor monitoring and surgical resection. In addition, SPLI could extensively induce immunogenic cell death in tumors, resulting in beneficial systemic immune responses. When further combined with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, SPLI displayed a superior potential in suppressing tumor growth and metastasis while avoiding immune inhibition. Taken together, our study suggests that the aforementioned combinational strategy could serve as a desired multifunctional approach for HCC management.

This paper reports the syntheses of a series of polychromatic pigments with the general formula LiAl 1- x M x (MoO 4 ) 2 (M = Fe, Pr, Ho, Nd, Er, Ce; x = 0–0.4) and the characterization of near-infrared reflectance properties. The synthesized pigments exhibited green (Pr), lavender (Nd), pink (Er) and different yellows (Fe, Ho, Ce). The XRD patterns of typical LiAl 1- x Fe x (MoO 4+δ ) 2 samples show that the prepared samples are triclinic lithium aluminum molybdate structures with space group P -1.The iron in the sample mainly existed in the form of Fe 3+ , which led to the directional growth of grains with different morphologies. The near-infrared solar reflectance (R*%) of LiAl 1- x Fe x (MoO 4 ) 2 pigments reached 94.19%. As the doping concentration of rare earth was increased, the color of the pigments gradually deepens. By introducing rare earth elements Pr, Ho, Nd, Er, and Ce into the LiAl(MoO 4 ) 2 matrix, the color of the pigment was successfully changed from white to green, lavender, pink, and yellow, indicating that doping can control the color of the pigment. Moreover, the prepared pigments had high R*% (>87%), indicating that the pigment samples have excellent thermal insulation properties and can be used as a new type of reflective thermal insulation coatings.

Multifunctional photocatalytic surfaces for pollutant degradation and antimicrobial application are often in high demand, however they confront many challenges in charge transfer and light capture ability. In this work, a sponge-like N,S-CQDs/Bi 2 MoO 6 @TiO 2 film was constructed via hydrothermal technique aiming to solve above problems. As a result, the ternary film showed enhanced photocatalytic efficiency under visible and near-infrared (NIR) light, in which 85.8% and 44.6% of ciprofloxacin (CIP) were degraded after 240 min irradiation with visible and NIR light, respectively. Moreover, the composite film effectively realized photocatalytic sterilization of gram-positive B. subtilis and gram-negative E. coli under visible light irradiation. The bacterial colony decreased significantly from 7.56-log to 1-log cfu/mL after adding the ternary film within 1.5 h. The enhanced photocatalytic efficiency was closely related to both introduction of surface-functional N,S-CQDs and the construction of N,S-CQDs/Bi 2 MoO 6 @TiO 2 Z-scheme system, in which the transfer efficiency of photoinduced carriers and the light absorption property were significantly improved. We consider that the N,S-CQDs/Bi 2 MoO 6 @TiO 2 film is promising for the degradation of refractory pollutants and antimicrobial application under visible/NIR light irradiation. The relatively convenient recycling property and excellent photocatalytic performance of the N,S-CQDs/Bi 2 MoO 6 @TiO 2 film are beneficial for industrial applications.

The drug-resistant bacterial infection has seriously threatened human health and thus it is urgent to develop new and effective drugs to overcome the antibiotic resistance crisis. Herein, a near-infrared-II (NIR-II) region light-responsive Pd rough nanoshells on metal-organic framework (MOF) of UiO-66-NH 2 (UiO-66-NH 2 @Pd shell ) has been developed for the first time, which was further loaded with the photosensitizer IR780 to ultimately yield UiO-66-NH 2 @Pd shell -IR780 (UPI) as the core-shell theranostic nanoplatform. The Pd rough nanoshells demonstrate promising photothermal conversion efficiency, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity, and light-enhanced catalase (CAT)-like activity. In the non-healing wound inflammatory microenvironment with overexpression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by subcutaneous bacterial infection, Pd rough nanoshells in UPI transforms ROS, such as O 2 •− , into H 2 O 2 and efficiently catalyzes the decomposition of the formed and endogenous H 2 O 2 to produce O 2 . The O 2 production process could be enhanced by NIR-II light to facilitate photodynamic efficacy of IR780 to prime rapid clearance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) through biofilm inhibition, along with down-regulation of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and relief of inflammation, thus promote wound healing. Moreover, UPI exhibits negligible biotoxicity in vitro and in vivo . This work provides a method for preparing promising Pd-based nanomaterials toward subcutaneous infection treatment and wound healing.

The aberrant vascularization and uneven vascular distribution stemming from rapid tumor cell proliferation culminate arouse intra-tumoral hypoxia, which substantially compromises the therapeutic response to conventional chemotherapy, as well as photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, we present an innovative α-NaYbF4:Tm@Cu2-xSe@ZnFe2O4-DOX nanoplatform that synergistically integrates PTT, Fenton reaction-enhanced chemodynamic therapy, PDT, and doxorubicin (DOX)-based chemotherapy under 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) light activation and weakly acidic environment-initiation. The 10 nm cubic-phase α-NaYbF4:Tm up-conversion cores were initially synthesized. Subsequently, low atomic number (Z) Cu2-xSe nanocrystal grown as photo-thermal conversion agent demonstrated significantly stronger X-radiation (X-ray) attenuation capabilities and enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging performance compared to clinically used iopromide. Furthermore, zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) shell was obtained in hydrothermal synthesis manner. The 980 nm NIR-excited α-NaYbF4:Tm nanoparticles undergo efficient energy down-conversion, emitting photons that perfectly match the absorption spectrum of ZnFe2O4, thereby maximizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation through bandgap-engineered photoconversion. The tumor's glycolytic activity creates a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-rich microenvironment, enabling ZnFe2O4-mediated Fenton-like reactions that produce hydroxyl radicals (•OH) radicals, ultimately triggering oxidative damage and apoptotic cell death. It is noted that dual-mode photothermal therapeutic efficacy was achieved by Cu2-xSe and ZnFe2O4 as photothermal nanocrystal with up-conversion luminescence (UCL), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT multimodal imaging. DOX as anticancer chemotherapeutics was conjugated to form α-NaYbF4:Tm@Cu2-xSe@ZnFe2O4-DOX nanoplatforms. It remains effectively release of large quantities of DOX at tumor part conferred response to excessive lactic and carbonic acids generated in cancer cells. Our research may provide an insight for generalizing enhanced synergetic performance by NIR light-mediated PTT, Fenton reaction, PDT and chemotherapy. It is not a simple assembly of known components, but rather a multi-functional synergistic system constructed through ingenious core-shell structural design, capable of responding to near-infrared light and the tumor microenvironment. For the first time, this system seamlessly integrates up-conversion luminescence-mediated PDT, dual photothermal agent-enhanced PTT, self-supplying H2O2 Fenton reactions, and acid/heat dual-responsive chemotherapy into a single nanoplatform. Additionally, it incorporates multimodal imaging capabilities, providing an innovative and comprehensive solution to overcome the clinical challenge of tumor hypoxia.
