Introducing double physical crosslinking reagents (i.e., a hydrophobic monomer micelle and the LAPONITE® XLG nano-clay) into the copolymerization reaction of hydrophilic monomers of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) and acrylamide (AM) is reported here by a thermally induced free-radical polymerization method, resulting in a highly tough and rapid self-healing dual-physical crosslinking poly(DMAA-co-AM) hydrogel. The mechanical and self-healing properties can be finely tuned by varying the weight ratio of nanoclay to DMAA. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the resulting nanocomposite hydrogel can be modulated in the range of 7.5–60 kPa and 1630–3000%, respectively. Notably, such a tough hydrogel also exhibits fast self-healing properties, e.g., its self-healing rate reaches 48% and 80% within 2 and 24 h, respectively.

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been extensively used in biosensors and bioimaging. Heteroatom-doped GQDs can regulate material properties and endow them to improve structural and physicochemical properties. In this work, N,S-GQDs were prepared through a high-temperature pyrolysis method using L-cysteine and citric acid as the precursors. The morphology and structure of nanocomposites were identified by TEM, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), and FTIR. The as-prepared N,S-GQDs show bright blue fluorescence with satisfactory fluorescence quantum yield. N,S-GQDs display significant response to riboflavin, achieving a low detection limit of 27 nM. The reaction of N,S-GQDs to riboflavin is mainly governed by static quenching. The detection of riboflavin in real samples has been performed to demonstrate its practical application. The obtained N,S-GQDs have low cytotoxicity and have been applied successfully in cell imaging.

The selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) by carbon monoxide (CO-SCR) is a promising way to deal with exhaust gasses. And Effective redox cycle and NO dissociation ability are crucial factors for catalytic reduction of NO x . Herein, Fe decorated CeO 2 microsphere catalysts with surface oxygen defect were synthesized by solvothermal and calcination method. Among all catalysts, 0.5Fe-CeO 2 sample showed excellent catalytic performance with efficiency near 96% for NO reduction under the condition of 550 ppmv NO, 1200 ppmv CO, and 40,000 h − 1 of GHSV. It was found that Fe doping could efficiently regulate Ce 4+ /Ce 3+ redox couple and oxygen vacancy for catalytic activity. XRD, Raman, XPS, EPR and H 2 -TPR etc. were employed to explore the physicochemical properties of samples. The results showed that Fe had been incorporated into CeO 2 by XRD, and the results of Raman spectrum and XPS indicated that Ce 4+ /Ce 3+ redox couple existed in 0.5Fe-CeO 2 catalyst. Furthermore, the H 2 -TPR spectrum displayed the formation of oxygen vacancy in the samples. N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherms indicated that the doping of Fe could enlarge the specific surface area, pore volume and pore dimeter of the samples, and thus greatly enhanced the NO adsorption and further NO catalytic reduction on catalysts. In addition, other characterization of physicochemical properties and density functional theory (DFT) calculation were performed to reveal the mechanism of NO + CO reaction. As a result, a mechanism was proposed to elucidate highly efficient NO reduction over the catalysts of Fe decorated CeO 2 microspheres. Finally, the synergistic effects of redox center and oxygen vacancy on catalytic activity enhancement were revealed. This work provides a promising way to the design of efficient catalysts for NO reduction.

Improving the gas-sensing performances of p-type oxide semiconductors is an important research issue. Here, we reported the simple fabrication of bare Co 3 O 4 and Mn-doped Co 3 O 4 porous nanosheets by annealing the Co-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) nanosheets precursors synthesized from the ion-assisted solvothermal treatment. Different characterization techniques were adopted to verify the physical and chemical morphologies of the as-prepared samples. The results demonstrate that Mn cations have been successfully doped into the lattice of Co 3 O 4 . Besides, these prepared samples were used for detection of carbon monoxide (CO). Results show that 3 mol% Mn-doped Co 3 O 4 nanosheets present enhanced CO-sensing properties [(R g − R a )/R a = 280% to 40 ppm at 125 °C] compared with bare Co 3 O 4 nanosheets. The response reported here for the detection of CO even exceeds those of some n-type oxides under the same conditions. We speculate that the enhanced CO-sensing properties are probably due to the high specific surface area, abundant oxygen vacancies generated by Mn doping, and the relatively high Co 3+ /Co 2+ ratio. The Mn-doped Co 3 O 4 sensor has a huge potential advantage in detecting low concentrations of CO.

MoS 2 is an attractive sulfur-resistant catalyst for directly converting sulfur-containing syngas to high value-added chemicals. However, the effect of the layered structure on the catalytic activity for CO hydrogenation reactions is far from clear. Herein, MoS 2 /carbon composite catalysts with 1–8 stacking layers in MoS 2 crystallites are synthesized, and the impact of the layer numbers on the catalytic performance is probed for the low-temperature methanation of sulfur-containing syngas. The results indicate that the turnover frequency of CO methanation increases from 2.4 × 10 -3 to 3.7 × 10 -3 s −1 with decreasing layer numbers of MoS 2 crystallites from 8.3 to 1.1. This result is thoroughly explained by the fact that the higher ratio of rim sites in MoS 2 crystallites with fewer layer numbers enhances the catalytic activity, which originates from the facilitated activation of CO and H 2 . These understandings are important for the rational design and development of more efficient MoS 2 -based catalysts for CO hydrogenation.

In this work, lignin depolymerization was examined over CoMo sulfide catalysts supported on different carriers in supercritical ethanol system. The temperature, time, MoS 2 and carrier effects on the lignin depolymerization were investigated. 95.76% liquefaction yield with negligible char was achieved over Co–Mo–S/ZrO 2 at 340 °C for 150 min. The liquid product was mainly composed of C 4 –C 8 alcohols, C 4 –C 10 esters and C 7 –C 10 aromatic compounds . The synergistic effect of active sites and acid-base sites on support played an important role in lignin depolymerization. Furthermore, the Co–Mo–S/ZrO 2 catalyst is reusable with 8% loss in liquefaction yield after 5 cyclic runs. We believe that acid/base carriers or additives that can promote the medium to generate abundant free radicals or ions to replace external hydrogen pressure are one of the prospects for the design of depolymerization lignin catalysts.

Up-conversion fluorescent materials serve a significant function as the detection materials of temperature sensors . In this study, a series of green-emitting LiLuW 2 O 8 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ phosphors applied in optical temperature sensing detection were successfully synthesized via the solid-state process in air. The crystal structure, luminescence properties, luminescence mechanism, and optical temperature sensing properties of samples were investigated. LiLuW 2 O 8 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ phosphor with excitation at 980 nm emits pronounced green emissions owing to the 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 and 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 transitions of Er 3+ ions. The whole emission processes of LiLu 0.72 W 2 O 8 :0.24 Yb 3+ , 0.04Er 3+ sample are all two-photon processes. Moreover, we apply thermal coupling levels ( 2 H 11/2 , 4 S 3/2 ) for temperature sensing and the value of sensing sensitivity can reach the maximum of about 1.41% K −1 . All the experimental results imply that LiLuW 2 O 8 :Yb 3+ , Er 3+ phosphors show good potential in temperature sensing.

There is growing empirical evidence that certain types of chemotherapy and phototherapy trigger immunogenic cell death and enhance the therapeutic anticancer efficacy of genetic immunotherapy. However, the main challenge is spatiotemporally co-delivering different drugs to maximize the therapeutic index of the combination therapy. In this study, a drug delivery system (HTCP-Au/shPD-L1/DOX) was designed with a polysaccharide-wrapped shell and a condensed DNA core. To construct the HTCP-Au vector, dodecyl side chains with a polyethylenimine (PEI) head were grafted onto hyaluronic acid, and AuNPs were grafted via Au-S bonds. During drug loading, PEI arrested shRNA plasmid DNA targeting programmed cell death ligand 1 (shPD-L1) via electrostatic interactions. It also formed a PEI-DNA core that was automatically enclosed when aliphatic hydrocarbons pulled the hyaluronic acid backbone. A hydrophobic interlayer consisting of dodecyl bridge chains between the PEI-DNA core and the hyaluronic acid shell was required to accommodate hydrophobic doxorubicin. In vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that this core-shell drug delivery system could efficiently load and transport three different drugs and effectively target tumors. Moreover, it could activate the immune system, thereby providing promising therapeutic efficacy against tumor growth and metastasis.

The development of low-temperature and water-resistant heterogeneous catalysts without noble metals is vital in the effective treatment of atmospheric pollutants in practical application. Herein, we report that Cu(I)-O-Co interfaces of ultrafine CuO x on Co 3 O 4 prepared by co-precipitation exhibit promising low-temperature activity and good water resistance. Experiment results together with density functional theory (DFT) calculations not only verify that Cu + species are stabilized over Cu(I)-O-Co interfaces because of the strong interaction between Cu 2 O 1 and Co 3 O 4 , but also demonstrate that the Cu(I)-O-Co interface facilitates oxygen species activation for promoting catalytic oxidation and reduces the accumulation of hydroxyl and bicarbonate species on the surface of CuO x /Co 3 O 4 . DFT calculations also reveal that the CO oxidation rate-limiting step via the dissociation pathway under dry conditions is the Co-OO-Cu species dissociation while the CO coupling with the adsorbed O 2 becomes the rate determining step for CO oxidation through the direct pathway over Cu(I)-O-Co interface under humid conditions. Further, the CuO x /Co 3 O 4 catalyst also exhibits superior and stable catalytic activity for toluene oxidation, comparable with partial supported noble metal catalysts (T 90 = 190 °C). The present work gives a useful strategy for the rational design of low-temperature and water-resistant non-precious-based catalysts to be applicable in CO and toluene removal in practical applications.

Albumin nanoparticles represent an approved anti-tumor drug delivery system . However, there is only one albumin nanoparticle product (paclitaxel-albumin nanoparticle) on the market. The application of albumin carriers is limited by the lack of universal preparation technology and insufficient targeting effect. Herein, we developed multifunctional albumin sub-microspheres prepared by coaxial-electrospray technology to co-delivery bufalin and nintedanib for tumor-targeted combination therapy. The biguanide and ursodeoxycholic acid dual-modified multifunctional albumin was synthesized to enhance the anti-tumor effect and tumor target efficiency. Coaxial-electrospray technology was utilized in preparing albumin sub-microspheres with a core-shell structure that enables payload efficiency and stability. More importantly, the in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the multifunctional albumin sub-microspheres possessed superior tumor target efficiency. Furthermore, nintedanib and bufalin combined therapy relieved the tumor microenvironment and exerted a synergistic therapeutic effect. Therefore, this work provides a novel method for fabricating an albumin-based drug delivery system and a potential efficient combination therapeutic strategy for tumor treatment.

Dielectric ceramics have attracted ever-increasing interest in energy storage applications due to their high-power density and fast charge–discharge speed. In particular, AgNbO 3 -based antiferroelectric ceramics are considered potential substitutes for lead-based ceramics. AgNbO 3 ceramics sintered with fine hydrothermal-synthesized powders show the advantage of high breakdown strength. However, the fine grains lead to the decreased polarization, which harms the recoverable energy density. In this work, a little amount over-stoichiometrical WO 3 and MnO 2 were introduced to synergistically improve the polarization and dielectric breakdown strength of obtained AgNbO 3 ceramics. The dependences of structures and dielectric properties on WO 3 doping were explored. A maximum polarization of 49.4 μC/cm 2 and E b as large as 285 kV/cm were achieved in 0.1 wt % WO 3 and MnO 2 co-doped AgNbO 3 ceramic. The corresponding W rec reached 2.75 J/cm 3 , which was 1.3 times larger than that of pristine AgNbO 3 ceramics. Moreover, benign thermal stability with W rec = 2.2–2.7 J/cm 3 over 30–150 °C at 240 kV cm −1 was also achieved in 0.1 wt.% WO 3 and MnO 2 co-doped AgNbO 3 ceramics.

Improving the interfacial impedance matching and attenuation ability of a microwave absorber is an important strategy to obtain excellent microwave absorbing performance. Here, we prepared an ultralight, hierarchical porous single-atom Co–N–C microwave absorber, in which evenly distributed single-atom Co is anchored in a porous N-doped carbon framework by N–Co bond via a facile bio-inspired method. These doped single atoms provide abundant highly active atomic absorption sites on the carbon skeleton, and considerable defects including pyridinic-N, pyrrolic-N, oxidized N, and so forth are introduced into the carbon framework owing to single Co atom doping. These doped single Co atoms and introduced defects act together as strong dipolar/interfacial polarization units, which lead to better impedance matching and a significant increase in attenuation capability of the absorber. The metal Co exists in form of a single atom, benefiting light weight of the absorber. Therefore, an extremely strong reflection loss (RL) value of − 60.9 dB is achieved at a lower filler content of 10 wt% with the absorber thickness of 2.5 mm, and the effective frequency bandwidth covered from 10.4 to 15.1 GHz with a thickness of 2.0 mm at a low filler content of 10 wt%. This research offers a novel route for designing a microwave absorber to improve microwave absorption performance and is expected to a wider range of absorbing materials with different structures.
