Visible-light-driven bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ) photocatalysts were prepared by the co-precipitation method. The BiVO 4 samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, UV–visible diffuse reflectance, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), photocurrent, and as well as electron microscopy (SEM, TEM). The photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared BiVO 4 samples was tested through the photocatalytic oxidation of glyphosate under visible light irradiation. The dark yellow amorphous BiVO 4 powder was prepared by the HAc method after drying at 70 °C, but the bright yellow monoclinic BiVO 4 was obtained after keeping at room temperature in the air for several days. The dependence of the room temperature crystallization on moisture can explain the low crystallization temperature found in this work. The BiVO 4 sample calcined at 400 °C by the HAc method showed the highest photocatalytic activity for glyphosate degradation under visible light irradiation because of its high charge separation efficiency proven by EIS and photocurrent.

This work reports the development of a new efficient visible-light-driven composite photocatalyst comprising SnS 2 nanoflakes and conjugated polymer (CPVC) from the dehydrochlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The optimum synthesis conditions were explored to obtain the most efficient SnS 2 /CPVC composite photocatalyst. The formation of SnS 2 /CPVC nanocomposites was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and elemental mapping characterization. The photocatalytic tests demonstrated that SnS 2 /CPVC nanocomposites exhibited not only far higher visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity than SnS 2 nanoflakes, but also good photocatalytic stability and reusability in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI) under visible-light ( λ > 420 nm) irradiation. The mechanism underlying the improved photocatalytic efficiency of SnS 2 /CPVC nanocomposites was elucidated, based on comparison between the optical, photoelectric, and electrochemical properties of SnS 2 /CPVC nanocomposites and SnS 2 nanoflakes, as well as the matched electronic band structures between SnS 2 and CPVC.

Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide can convert chemically inert carbon dioxide into useful chemical fuel in a mild manner. Herein, Ag-CdS nanocomposites were prepared by photodeposition method and examined for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction under visible light. Meanwhile, the nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, DRS and PL in detail. The results show that, the deposition of Ag improves the photocatalytic performance of CdS, especially in the selectivity of CO 2 -to-CO. The highest photocatalytic activity is achieved over 1.0 wt.% Ag/CdS, with an increase by 3 times in comparison to CdS. In this reaction system, Ag can serve as electron trap as well as active site for CO 2 reduction, which is probably responsible for the enhanced activity and selectivity of CO 2 to CO over Ag/CdS. The possible mechanism of CO 2 photoreduction over Ag/CdS was proposed in view of the abovementioned analysis.

In this work, a label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor was developed for ultrasensitive detection of insulin based on MWCNTs@SnS 2 @CdS nanocomposites . As graphene-like 2D nanomaterial , SnS 2 nanosheets loaded on the conducting framework of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were adopted for the construction of immunosensor for the first time, providing a favorable substrate for in-situ growth of CdS nanocrystal that had suitable band structure matching well with SnS 2 . The well-matched band structure of these two metal sulfides effectively inhibited the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, thus improving the photo-to-current conversion efficiency. Besides, the introduction of MWCNTs facilitated electron transfer across the surface of electrodes, leading to a further increment of photocurrent . The as constructed label-free PEC immunosensor based on MWCNTs@SnS 2 @CdS nanocomposites exhibited excellent PEC performance for the detection of insulin. The concentrations of insulin could be directly detected based on the decrement of photocurrent that was brought by the increased steric hindrances due to the formation of antigen-antibody immunocomplexes. Under the optimal conditions, the PEC immunosensor had a sensitive response to insulin in a linear range of 0.1 pg mL −1 to 5 ng mL −1 with a detection limit of 0.03 pg mL −1 . Meanwhile, good stability and selectivity were achieved as well. The design and fabrication of this PEC immunosensor based on MWCNTs@SnS 2 @CdS nanocomposites not only provided an ideal platform for the detection of insulin, but also opened up a new avenue for the development of immunosensor for some other biomarkers analysis.

Cotton cellulose nanofibers (CCNFs)/In2S3/Ag–CdS nanocomposites were prepared by a typical technical route which combined electrospinning and a chemical method. The results showed that the CCNFs/In2S3/Ag–CdS nanocomposites had a remarkable visible light photocatalytic property and cycling stability, which displayed a significant enhancement compared with that of pure In2S3. Through analysis, this enhancement could be mainly attributed to the multilevel structure of the composites.

Controlled drug release with on demand is an important challenge for drug delivery. Near-infrared (NIR) light triggered drug delivery reflected the development of a significant strategy to control drug release based on photothermal effects. Herein, a sustained and controlled drug delivery system was developed based on a PCL–PEG–PCL thermosensitive hydrogel combined with chitosan-multiwalled carbon nanotubes for a near infrared light triggered drug delivery. Carbon nanotubes that incorporate hydrogel can enhance the sustained effect of drug delivery by a dual-stage release and allow drug delivery by controlling light irradiation. This in situ photothermal process was monitored by thermal imaging and the controlled drug delivery of doxorubicin was tracked in real-time by fluorescence imaging in vivo based on the fluorescence ability of the drug using nude mice as models. The results suggest that the photothermal effect of the carbon nanotubes can disrupt the structure of the hydrogel with a gel–sol transition, triggering the release of the drug from the sustained drug delivery system by NIR irradiation while responding on demand. The sustained and controlled drug delivery has the potential to implement the accurate administration of hydrogel-based drug delivery systems.

Spinel CuCo 2 O 4 nanoplates were synthesized through a solvothermal method coupled with a calcination treatment in air. The prepared CuCo 2 O 4 samples were fully characterized by diverse physical and chemical techniques including powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and N 2 sorption measurement. The CuCo 2 O 4 material was developed as an efficient, low-cost and stable cocatalyst to boost photochemical CO 2 conversion with Ru(bpy) 3 2+ as a homogeneous photosensetizer. The catalytic performance of the CuCo 2 O 4 samples was evaluated toward visible-light-driven deoxygenative reduction of CO 2 to CO under mild conditions. Various parameters of the reaction system and the synthesis conditions of CuCo 2 O 4 were investigated and optimized to maximize the catalytic performance of CO 2 reduction system. The stability and the reusability of the CuCo 2 O 4 cocatalyst were examined. Moreover, the CuCo 2 O 4 cocatalyst was further proved to be highly active to promote CO 2 photoreduction catalysed by CdS semiconductor as a heterogeneous light harvester, and markedly reinforced photocatalytic CO 2 reduction performance was achieved.

Photoinduced reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization generally adopts high-energy ultraviolet (UV) or blue light. In combination with photoredox catalyst, the excitation light wavelength was extended to the visible and even near-infrared (NIR) region for photoinduced electron transfer RAFT polymerization. In this report, we introduce for the first time a surface NIR-light-initiated RAFT polymerization on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) without adding any photocatalyst and construct a functional inorganic core/polymer shell nanohybrid for application in cancer theranostics. The multilayer core–shell UCNPs (NaYF4:Yb/Tm@NaYbF4:Gd@NaNdF4:Yb@NaYF4), with surface anchorings of chain transfer agents, can serve as efficient NIR-to-UV light transducers for initiating the RAFT polymerization. A hierarchical double block copolymer brush, consisting of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(oligo(ethylene oxide)methacrylate-co-2-(2-methoxy-ethoxy)ethyl methacrylate) (PEG for short), was grafted from the surface in sequence. The targeting arginine–glycine–aspartic (RGD) peptide was modified at the end of the copolymer through the trithiolcarbonate end group. After loading of doxorubicin, the UCNPs@PAA-b-PEG-RGD exhibited an enhanced U87MG cancer cell uptake efficiency and cytotoxicity. Besides, the unique upconversion luminescence of the nanohybrids was used for the autofluoresence-free cell imaging and labeling. Therefore, our strategy verified that UCNPs could efficiently activate RAFT polymerization by NIR photoirradiation and construct the complex nanohybrids, exhibiting prospective biomedical applications due to the low phototoxicity and deep penetration of NIR light.

This paper introduces the first attempt of using well organized Co@CoO core-shell nanocrystals as an alternative toward noble metal catalysts for photocatalytic water splitting reactions. In this work, four kinds of stable magnetic Co@CoO core-shell nanocrystals were fabricated through a one-pot toluene-water two-phase interfacial reaction with oleic acid as a surfactant. The size and shape of the as-prepared crystals can be carefully adjusted through dynamically coating the closely packed monolayer of coordinating ligand onto the growing crystals. It is notable that spherical pine-nut-like hierarchical assemblies of Co@CoO core-shell nanoplates exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity (the maximum value of O 2 yield is over 96%). Even after the sixth run, the high catalytic activity of the recovered Co@CoO core-shell nanoplates remained.

The photocatalytic selective oxidation of biomass derivate compound 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran is an environmentally friendly and energy-saving process. Nb2O5 was prepared and applied in the oxidation of HMF under visible light, although its bandgap energy is higher than 3.2 eV. The reaction process follows a special mechanism over a Nb2O5 catalyst different from the normal oxide semiconductor. The effect of calcination temperature, incident wavelength, and reaction time on photocatalytic performance was investigated. Nb2O5-800 exhibits the best performance in the presence of O2 with benzotrifluoride as a solvent under visible light irradiation.

Multifunctional drug delivery and combined multimodal therapy strategies are very promising in tumor theranostic applications. In this work, a simple and versatile nanoplatform based on biologically inspired polydopamine capped gold nanorods (GNR-PDA) is developed. Dopamine, a well-known neurotransmitter associated with many neuronal disorders, can undergo self-polymerization on the surface of GNRs to form a stable PDA shell. Its unique molecular adsorption property, as well as its high chemical stability and biocompatibility, facilitate GNR-PDA as an ideal candidate for drug delivery. Methylene blue (MB) and doxorubicin (DOX) are directly adsorbed on GNR-PDA via electrostatic and/or π–π stacking interactions, forming GNR-PDA-MB and GNR-PDA-DOX nanocomposites, respectively. The GNR-PDA-MB can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS, from MB) or hyperthermia (from GNR-PDA) with high efficiency under deep-red/NIR laser irradiation, while the GNR-PDA-DOX exhibits light-enhanced drug release under NIR laser irradiation. The combined dual-modal light-mediated therapy, by using GNR-PDA-MB [photodynamic/photothermal therapy (PDT/PTT)] and GNR-PDA-DOX (Chemo/PTT), is carried out and shows remarkable cancer cell killing efficiency in vitro and significant suppression of tumor growth in vivo, which are much more distinct than any single-modal therapy strategy. Our work illustrates that GNR-PDA could be a promising nanoplatform for multifunctional drug delivery and multimodal tumor theranostics in the future.

The application of ionic liquids as alternatives to conventional organic solvents in the extraction process has been investigated. In the present study, fourteen species of imidazolium-based ionic liquids were added into the NaOH (aq) to remove the mercaptans. The influences of anion species and cation alkyl chain length of the imidazolium-based ionic liquids on the performance of mercaptan removal from light oils have been discussed. The efficiency of extraction for mercaptans exhibited the order of [Ac] − > [OH] − ≈ [Br] − > [BF 4 ] − . The longer alkyl chain imidazolium-based ionic liquids contributed to enhance desulfurization rate of 1-butyl mercaptan. 100% desulfurization rate of 1-butyl mercaptan was achieved by the anion of Ac − ionic liquids and NaOH (aq) at a volume ratio of 40:1 ( V (oil): V (ionic liquid)) and a short equilibrium time within 10 min.
