Multidrug resistance (MDR) in tumor has long been considered a major factor in the failure of tumor chemotherapy. P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated drug efflux plays a significant role in the MDR of tumor. Herein, paclitaxel (PTX) and P-gp inhibitor quercetin (QC) co-loaded and chondroitin sulfate (ChS)-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) ( [email protected] ) were developed to reverse MDR in breast cancer and improve chemotherapy efficacy. The dual drug-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) showed a nanoscale size of ∼ 227.2 nm and redox-responsive drug release property. In vitro cell experiments showed that NPs exhibited CD44 receptor-mediated active targeting in MCF-7/ADR cells. The dual drug-loaded NPs had lower IC 50 value, higher apoptosis rate, obvious G2M phase arrest as well as stronger microtubule destruction in MCF-7/ADR cells compared to PTX-loaded NPs, suggesting that QC addition, significantly, improved the sensitivity of MCF-7/ADR cells to PTX. Further study found that QC-loaded NPs down-regulated the expression of P-gp. Notably, the dual drug-loaded NPs exhibited tumor-targeting ability, prolonged tumor retention time and effective anti-tumor effect without obvious toxicity to normal tissues in vivo . Taken together, our research provides a viable approach to overcome MDR in breast cancer.

The effect of yttrium on the reaction of tungsten oxide with CO was studied for the preparing various morphologies and size of tungsten carbide. The reaction rate, phase composition, particles size and morphology, surface area of samples were studied by TG (thermogravimetry), XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and BET (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller), respectively. It was found that the reaction route was following WO 3 → W 18 O 49 → WO 2 → WC at lower temperature, while at higher temperature, an intermediate phase W was formed and then carbonized to WC. During the reaction of pure WO 3 or mixtures (1 wt.% Y(NO 3 ) 3 + WO 3 ) with CO at lower temperature, the final products almost maintained the large irregular block shape. With the increase of temperature, the large WC particles were degraded and the obtained sub-particles became much more dispersed. After the addition of yttrium nitrate, the rod-like sub-particles were transformed into more stable polyhedral-shaped sub-particles with a smaller size. Furthermore, the mechanism of effect of yttrium on prepared tungsten carbides were analyzed in detail.

To obtain fundamental information on the dissolution of cobalt into alumina-saturated MnO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 slags in the smelting reduction of spent lithium-ion batteries, the equilibrium distribution of cobalt between Co-Cu alloys and alumina-saturated MnO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 slags was measured at 1573 K and 1623 K under a controlled CO-CO 2 atmosphere. The results show that (i) the solubility of cobalt in the slag increased with increasing concentration of cobalt in the alloy and increasing oxygen partial pressure in the atmosphere at a fixed concentration of cobalt in the alloy, and (ii) the activity coefficient of CoO in the slag increased with increasing cobalt oxide in the slag. The activity coefficient of CoO in the slag, γ CoO, referred to as solid CoO, can be described as a function of the concentration of CoO in slag as follows: γ CoO = 11.2957(wt pct CoO in slag) + 12.0944 (1573 K, (wt pct MnO)/(wt pct SiO 2 )= 0.76–0.83); γ CoO = 2.2286(wt pct CoO in slag) + 4.5232 (1623 K, (wt pct MnO)/(wt pct SiO 2 )= 0.78–0.85).

The platform of the combination chemo-photodynamic therapy has received widespread attention for enhancing anticancer efficacy and inhibiting tumor growth, which supports thermosensitive and controlled drug release. Here, an injectable thermoreversible hydrogel (BPNSs/DTX-M-hydrogel) co-encapsulating black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) and docetaxel (DTX) micelles was prepared to increase drug accumulation in tumor tissue and improve anticancer efficacy. BPNSs were prepared by liquid exfoliation method with a simple and rapid preparation, and DTX micelles were prepared by the thin film dispersion method. Hydrogel was prepared with F127 as hydrogel matrix for intratumoral injection. BPNSs, DTX micelles, and BPNSs/DTX-M-hydrogel were characterized by particle size, morphology, stability and degradation, phase transition feature, and photodynamic performance. And the in vivo anticancer efficacy was evaluated in 4T1 tumor-bearing Balb/c mice. The results showed that the particle size of DTX micelles and BPNSs were about 16 and 180 nm, respectively. The hydrogel with the transformation temperature at near body exhibited great photodynamic efficacy and good biodegradability. Moreover, BPNSs/DTX-M-hydrogel with the combination of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy exhibited unique anticancer efficacy with low toxicity. In conclusion, the combination platform of chemo-photodynamic therapy based on BPNSs could be a prospective strategy in antitumor research.

A novel fluorescent probe based on the static quenching and the inner filter effect between boron nitrogen co-doped carbon quantum dots (B, N-CDs) and Cr(VI) was developed for the quantitative determination of Cr(VI) in real water samples. B, N-CDs were prepared using the hydrothermal method with ammonium citrate and bis(pinacolato) diboron as raw materials. Compared with undoped CDs, the fluorescence properties of the B, N-CDs were improved. The fluorescence quantum yield of the B, N-CDs was as high as 59.01%. After optimization of the experimental parameters, the B, N-CDs could be used as a fluorescence probe to detect Cr(VI). Strong linear correlation ( R 2 = 0.9986) was established in the Cr(VI) concentration range 0.3–500 μM, and a detection limit of 0.24 μM was achieved. Moreover, the B, N-CDs successfully detected Cr(VI) in real water samples, indicating that they have broad application prospects in the sensitive detection of Cr(VI).

Transition-metal phosphides have been identified as effective materials for improving electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution. In this study, Ni2P, Co2P, and NiCoP yolk–shell structures were embedded in N- and P-doped carbon nanofibers (NPNFs) by controlling the heat-treatment procedure of the fiber precursors. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of the samples was tested. The formation process of phosphides introduced a large number of surface defects that act as active sites to improve H2 evolution. NPNF embedding composite NiCoP particles exhibited better performance compared with Ni2P–NPNFs and Co2P–NPNF samples in acidic conditions. In the case of a molar ratio Ni : Co : P of 1 : 1 : 1, NiCoP-decorated NPNFs revealed the best HER performance, which is ascribed to the loading of NiCoP composite particles, which greatly increased the specific surface area. NiCoP–NPNFs exhibited overpotentials of 183 and 280 mV at current densities of 1 mA cm−2 and 10 mA cm−2, respectively, with a Tafel slope of 94.5 mV dec−1.

Developing non-precious metal electrocatalysts with high activity and stability are of great significance to achieve overall water splitting. In this work, cobalt-molybdenum nitride nanosheet arrays grown on Ni foam (CoMoN x NSAs/NF) were prepared via a facile hydrothermal and nitridation process. The resulting CoMoN x NSAs/NF not only has a specific large surface area and provides more active sites but also possesses good electrical conductivity, contributing to the fast reaction kinetics. Furthermore, the synergistic effect between Co 2 N and Mo 2 N cooperatively enhance the charge transfer, thus further improving the electrocatalytic activity. Benefiting from these merits, the optimal CoMoN x -500 NSAs/NF exhibits excellent activities for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with overpotentials of 91 and 231 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm −2 , respectively. Moreover, the CoMoN x -500 NSAs/NF||CoMoN x -500 NSAs/NF couple requires a low cell voltage of 1.55 V at the current density of 10 mA cm −2 , which is much superior to many other reported transition metal nitrides catalysts. This present work provides a reference for the design of bimetallic nitrides with superior electrocatalytic performance for overall water splitting.

It's a major challenge to explore highly active and stable electrocatalysts for efficient hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER). In this work, we report a new hybrid electrocatalyst: iron-cobalt decorated nitrogen doped carbon/reduced graphene oxide-700 °C (Fe-Co-CN/rGO-700). The catalyst shows an excellent electrocatalytic performance toward HER and OER in alkaline solution, which has lower overpotentials of 0.215 V and 0.308 V at the current density 10 mA cm −2 , respectively, and this catalyst has an outstanding durability (after 45 h). The excellent activity mainly benefit from the highly dispersed iron/cobalt species, sheet structure with high porosity, the improvement of electronic structures with nitrogen-doped carbon and high conductivity of rGO. Combined with the density function theory (DFT) calculations, the improvement of the HER and OER performance were also attributed to the balance of adsorption/desorption of the hydrogen and oxygen-containing intermediates, and the increased electronic states density near the Fermi level. The proposed work provides a novel and simple strategy to synthesize a porous carbon electrocatalyst material using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as precursor with high activity and strong stability for HER and OER.

MnO2–CoOX catalysts with different Mn/Co ratios were prepared using polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as an assistant to control the morphology and exposed crystal faces of composite oxides. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were systematically characterized and the catalytic activity of NH3-SCR and resistance to SO2/H2O were investigated. It was found that the NO conversion over Mn–Co-0.2-PVP was apparently higher compared with that over Mn–Co-X-PVP (X = 0.9, 0.8, 0.6, and 0.4). This can be interpreted in terms of exposed crystal surface (110) and enhanced adsorption of NH3/NO, and better redox performance resulting from higher Co3+/Co2+ ratio. Furthermore, different PVP and HAc additives have different H2O and SO2 resistance. Mn–Co-0.2-PVP showed good resistance to H2O and SO2 poisoning owing to having more low-temperature (∼200 °C) NO adsorption sites, which are beneficial to promote the de-NOX reaction and less affected by SO2.

Shape deformable hydrogels have drawn great attention due to their wide applications as soft actuators. Here we report a novel kind of mechanically strong, tough, and shape deformable poly(acrylamide-co-vinylimidazole) [poly(AAm-co-VI)] hydrogel prepared by photoinitiated copolymerization and the followed immersing in a Cu2+ aqueous solution. Strong Cu2+ complexation with imidazole groups dramatically enhances the mechanical properties of the hydrogels, whose tensile strength, elastic modulus, toughness, and fracture energy reach up to 7.7 ± 0.76 MPa, 15.4 ± 1.2 MPa, 23.2 ± 2.5 MJ m–3, and 22.1 ± 2.3 kJ m–2, respectively. More impressively, shape deformation (bending) can be easily achieved by coating Cu2+ solution on one side of hydrogel strips. Furthermore, precise control of the shape deformation from 1D to 2D and 2D to 3D can be achieved by adjusting Cu2+ concentration, coating time, region, and one or two side(s) of hydrogel samples. The Cu2+ complexation provides a simple way to simultaneously improve the mechanical properties of hydrogels and enable them with shape deformability. The mechanically strong, tough, and shape deformable hydrogels might be a promising candidate for soft actuators.

Heteroatom-doped meso/micro-porous carbon materials are conventionally produced by harsh carbonization under an inert atmosphere involving specific precursors, hard/soft templates, and heteroatom-containing agents. Herein, we report a facile synthesis of N and O co-doped meso/micro-porous carbon (NOMC) by template-free carbonization of a small-molecule precursor in a semi-closed system. The semi-closed carbonizaiton process yields hydrophilic NOMCs with large surface area in a high yield. The porous structure as well as the elemental composition of NOMCs can be modulated by changing the holding time at a particular temperature. NOMCs as metal-free heterogeneous catalysts can selectively oxidize benzyl alcohol and its derivatives into aldehydes/ketones with > 85% conversion in aqueous solution, which is much higher than that of the control sample obtained in tube furnace (21% conversion), mainly due to their high N content, high percentage of pyridinic N, and large surface area. The presence of O-containing moieties also helps to improve the hydrophilicity and dispersion ability of catalysts and thus facilitates the mass transfer process during aqueous oxidation. The NOMC catalysts also dispayed excellent activity for a wide range of substrates with a selectivity of > 99%.

Several NiO–CuO–CeO 2 catalysts were prepared via different methods and characterized by different techniques. Structure-activity relationships of the catalysts were demonstrated, and the effect of preparation methods on CO oxidation behaviors was illustrated. Catalytic results evidenced that the NiCuCe-CP and NiCuCe-SG catalysts prepared by co-precipitation and sol-gel methods exhibited better CO oxidation activities and kinetic performance, as evidenced by their lower T 50 values (102 °C and 100 °C) and apparent activation energies (48.80 and 59.28 kJ/mol) as well as higher reaction rates (3.84 and 3.45 μmol/g/s). The XRD and HRTEM results suggested that the active species showed uniform dispersion with minimum crystallite size in the desired catalysts. The XRD, XPS , H 2 -TPR and Raman analysis suggested the formation of Ce 1- x Cu x O 2- δ and Ce 1- x Ni x O 2- δ solid solutions, indicating that the co-precipitation and sol-gel methods reinforced the interactions amongst the ternary metal oxides . This would afford the catalysts more oxygen vacancies for boosted CO oxidation activity. The mechanism was then proposed with the dual synergetic effects in solid solutions for facilitated oxygen mobility and the amorphous active metal oxides for promoted CO chemisorption . The desired NiCuCe-CP and NiCuCe-SG catalysts show potential application for CO abatement in closed-loop air revitalization.
