A new type of ratiometric fluorescent sensor was fabricated in a facile and low-cost process via sequentially assembling blue-light-emitting luminescent carbon dots (BCDs) and red-light-emitting carbon dots (RCDs) into the pores of mesoporous aluminas (MAs) through hydrogen band interactions. The advantages of the resultant BCDs/RCDs/MAs co-doped materials are that their luminescence exhibits dual characteristic peaks of the BCDs and RCDs under a single excitation wavelength, and that they having high surface-to-volume ratios. The co-doped materials were monitored in different carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), oxygen (O 2 ), nitrogen (N 2 ), and water vapor (H 2 O) environments. Based on the energy transfer from the RCDs to BCDs, with the addition of oxygen, the characteristic fluorescence intensity of the RCDs is monotonically quenched, but that of the BCDs remains almost unchanged. These results allow for the fabrication of a ratiometric fluorescent sensor using BCDs as reference fluorophores, and RCDs as target sensitive fluorophores. The as-prepared ratiometric fluorescence sensor has a high sensitivity with a linear oxygen volume range from 0 to 100, and exhibits an extremely short response/regeneration time of 2–4 s. The BCDs/RCDs/MAs co-doped materials are highly sensitive and selective for the detection of oxygen.

N-Halamine-based antibacterial materials play a significant role in controlling microbial contamination, but their practical applications are limited because of their complicated synthetic process and indistinct antibacterial actions. In this study, novel antibacterial N-halamine-containing polymer fibers were synthesized via an one-step electrospinning of N-halamine-containing polymers without any additives. By adjusting the concentration of precursor and the molecular weight of polymers, the morphology and size of the as-spun N-halamine-containing fibers can be regulated. The as-spun fibers showed antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. After an antibacterial assessment using different biochemical techniques, a combined mechanism of contact/release co-determined killing action was evidenced for the as-spun N-halamine-containing fibers. With the aid of contact action and/or release action, this combined mechanism can allow N-halamines to attack bacteria, making the as-spun fibers wide in the application of antibacterial fields, whatever it is in dry or wet environment. Also, a recycle antibacterial test demonstrated that the as-spun fibers can still offer antibacterial property after five recycle experiments.

Although combination delivery (co-delivery) shows much superiority in the defect compensation of single-agent therapy, the construction and application of co-delivery systems are still challenging, especially for protein-based joint systems. In this work, a series of chitosan (CS)-amino acid derivatives (Arg-CS, Lys-CS, and Phe-CS) with different degrees of substitution (DS) were synthesized to prepare CS nanocapsules (CNCs) using a simple emulsification method in the presence of linoleic acid (LA). The hydrophobic drug can be loaded in LA droplets, and a positively charged protein stabilized the optimized Arg-CS nanocapsules (Arg-CNCs) on their negative surfaces. The in vitro antitumor efficacy of Arg-CNCs co-delivering paclitaxel and recombinant human caspase-3 was evaluated in HeLa cells. The co-delivery system displayed much lower IC 50 values and a higher percentage of apoptotic cells compared with the control groups. This system provides a promising and universal strategy for co-delivery, leading to collaborative tumor treatment.

A thin coating layer composed of the mixture of the electronic conductive carbon and lithium ionic conductive inorganic solid electrolyte was introduced on one side of the routine Celgard separator. This functional coated separator is designed to localize the polysulfides on the cathode side and act as an upper current collector for further utilization of sulfur while alleviating the ion conductivity decrease induced by the dissolved polysulfides in the discharge and charge process. Moreover, catalytic conversion of polysulfides by the solid state highly ionic conductor is observed. This brings significant improvement in battery specific capacity and cycling stability, with an initial discharge capacity of 1247 mA h g −1 and a reversible capacity of 830 mA h g −1 after 150 extended cycles at 0.5 C rate. Rest-testing proves a low self-discharge and excellent capacity retention of the modified cells.

Poly(aniline- co - m -aminophenol)(PANMA)/graphene/NiO nanocomposite was synthesized and applied as a supercapacitor electrode for the first time. Graphene/NiO nanocomposite was first synthesized via a hydrothermal synthesis method from Ni(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O, urea, and graphite oxide. NiO nanoparticles were distributed uniformly on both sides of the graphene. Then, PANMA was deposited in situ on the surface of the graphene/NiO nanocomposite via the copolymerization of aniline and m -aminophenol. The obtained nanocomposite has a similar porous morphology with that of PANMA. Experimental results indicate that the synergistic contributions from PANMA, graphene and NiO enable the composite electrode with substantially improved energy storage performance metrics. The nanocomposite shows a high specific capacitance of 562 F g −1 at a current density of 0.5 A g −1 , a good rate capability even at high current densities and a better long-term cycling stability.

Ovarian cancer has been the leading cause of death worldwide in gynecologic malignancy mainly due to the lack of ultrasensitive diagnosis approaches at its early stage and high cytotoxicity of anticancer drugs to normal cells. In an attempt to overcome the problems, a co-delivery system of folic acid (FA) modified nanoparticles were developed for early diagnosis and to maximize the therapeutic outcome. In the present study, we formulated a diblock copolymer of methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly (-caprolactone)(mPEG-b-PCL) polymer micelles, and FA was further conjugated to endow micelles with active targeted capacity. Then paclitaxel (PTX) and superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) were encapsulated in the core of micelles. The in vitro tumor cell targeting capability of FA-NP/SPIO/PTX and NP/ SPIO/PTX nanoparticles was assessed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) with human ovarian cancer (SKOV3 cells) which overexpresses FA receptor. Quantitative analysis showed the amount of intracellular Fe in cells incubated with FA-NP/SPIO/PTX nanoparticles was about 13-fold higher than with NP/SPIO/PTX nanoparticles. The imaging contrast capability of FA-NP/SPIO/PTX nanoparticles as a sensitive MRI probe was evaluated by a 3 T clinical MR imaging scanner. The T2 -weighted imaging of cells incubated with targeting nanoparticles was found to have more sensitive imaging enhancement effect on the SKOV3 cells than non-targeting nanoparticles. Furthermore, the antitumor efficiency of targeting nanoparticles was approximately 5-fold higher than that of their counterparts, which further affirmed the feasibility of attaining the higher therapeutic efficacy of antitumor drugs while minimizing damage to healthy cells. The targeting nanoparticles exhibited the biphasic release characteristic in vitro. The results indicated that folate-modified nanoparticles could achieve high targeting specificity, high efficiency of delivery drug and excellent imaging enhancement. Therefore, the targeting nanoplatform has good prospects in non-invasively detecting early ovarian tumors, maximizing the therapeutic efficiency and real-time monitoring of therapeutic response, which can make it possible to lengthen patients' survival and ultimately achieve the goal of individualized medicine for ovarian cancer in the near future.

Strongly luminescent copper and indium co-doped CdS quantum dots (CuIn-doped CdS QDs) were synthesized from copper iodide, indium acetate, cadmium oleate, and 1-dodecanethiol as starting compounds in octadecene solvent. We demonstrated that when co-doping with In, Cu ions can homogeneously dope into CdS QDs and exist in the +1 state. The as-prepared doped QDs exhibited photoluminescence (PL) in the range of 590–800 nm, with a maximum fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of 40%. They also exhibited tunable large Stokes shifts from 100 nm to 300 nm via tuning dopant concentrations of Cu and In. Such an extremely large Stokes shift dramatically decreased the self-reabsorption of QDs. Furthermore, the CuIn-doped CdS QDs exhibited excellent thermal stability and lost only approximately 20% of their emission QY when the temperature was increased from 20 °C to 150 °C. These features make these QDs suitable as emitters for application in lighting.

A convenient and less time-consuming approach for developing an optical oxygen sensing film with excellent balance between sensing performance and operating stability is addressed in the current work. In order to achieve better mechanical strength and resistance against ultraviolet (UV) degradation, a series of oxygen sensing films were prepared by embedding Pt (II) meso-tetra (pentafluorophenyl)porphine (PtTFPP) in the hosting copolymer matrices, which comprised different blending ratios of plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) on polypropylene porous fiber membrane. The microstructure and optical properties of the sensing films were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), laser confocal microscopy, and fluorescence spectrometer. Phase delay measurement under different oxygen partial pressure (PO $_{{2}}\text {)}$ and temperature was conducted to evaluate the sensing performance and temperature compensation models of the sensing films for oxygen monitoring. Results show that the response time of the sensing films were all less than 10 s. The sensitivities and detecting ranges of the sensing films were increased and decreased with the reduction in PVC/PVDF-HFP ratio. When PVC/PVDF-HFP ratio reached 1:2, sensing film exhibits the best sensitivity of 0.334 kPa $^{-{1}}$ and the smallest phase reduction rate of 0.0045°/h after 24 h of continuous irradiation by UV light, presenting a promising utilization potentiality in fields of gaseous oxygen detection.

Osteointegration, the effective coupling between an implant and bone tissue, is a highly intricate biological process. The initial stages of bone-related immunomodulation and cellular colonization play crucial roles, but have received limited attention. Herein, a novel supramolecular co-assembled coating of strontium (Sr)-doped metal polyphenol networks (MPN) modified with c(RGDfc) is developed and well-characterized, for eliciting an early immunomodulation and cellular colonization. The results showed that the (Sr-MPN)@RGD coating significantly regulated the polarization of macrophages to the M2 phenotype by controllable release of Sr, and promote the initial adhesion of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) by RGD presented on MPN. Notably, the (Sr-MPN)@RGD attenuated osteoclast differentiation and oxidative stress as well as enhanced osteoblast differentiation and angiogenesis due to macrophage polarization toward M2 phenotype, which in turn has a profound effect on neighboring cells through paracrine signaling. In vivo results showed that the (Sr-MPN)@RGD coating manifested superior osseointegration and bone maturation to the bare Ti-rod or Ti-rod coated with MPN and Sr-MPN. This work contributed to the design of multifunctional implant coatings that address the complex biological process of osteointegration from the perspective of orchestrating stem cell recruitment with immunomodulatory strategies.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide. Sorafenib (Sf) is currently the first-line treatment for HCC. However, due to the side effects and unsatisfied efficiency of Sf, it is urgent to combine different therapeutic agents to inhibit HCC progression and increase the therapeutic efficacy. Here, our study constructed a Sf and KIAA1199-siRNA co-loaded liposome Sf-Lp-KIAA, which was prepared by electrostatic interaction of KIAA1199-siRNA and Sf loaded liposome (Sf-Lp). The particle size, zeta potential, the in vitro cumulative release was investigated. The physical and chemical properties were characterized, and the inhibition of HepG2 growth and metastasis in vitro was investigated. The cellular uptake of the co-loaded liposome was significantly higher than that of free siRNA, and the drug/siRNA could be co-delivered to the target cells. Sf-Lp-KIAA could significantly inhibit the growth, migration, invasion and down-regulate KIAA1199 expression of HepG2 cells in vitro than that of single Sf treated group. In addition, the co-delivery liposome accumulated in the HepG2 subcutaneous tumor model and suppress tumor growth after systemic administration without induce obvious toxicity. The present study implied that the co-delivery of Sf and KIAA1199-siRNA through the co-loaded liposomes exerted synergistic antitumor effects on HCC, which would lay a foundation for HCC therapy in the future.

Sulfamethazine (SMT), a sulfonamide antibiotic, is widely present in medical wastewater and is one kind of refractory organic pollutants that endanger the water environment. An efficient and environmentally friendly degradation method is crucial for treating antibiotic wastewater. Based on the strong activation capability of transition metal ions for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and highly affinity of MoS 2 towards PMS, the decoration of MoS 2 with transition metal ions would be an effective activation of PMS for degradation of organic pollutants. In this work, Co@MoS 2 was synthesized by hydrothermal method and used as catalyst for the degradation of SMT with PMS. Almost 100 % of sulfamethazine (SMT) was removed within 10 min. The EPR and quenching experimental results suggested that 1 O 2 was the main active species for SMT degradation in the Co@MoS 2 /PMS system. The accelerated valence cycle between Co 2+ and Co 3+ was the key factor to PMS activation and SMT degradation. Further, the Co@MoS 2 /PMS system showed good applicability to different pollutants, excellent reusability for SMT removal. Therefore, the results demonstrated that the present study process was a promising strategy for antibiotic removal.

Lattice strain is widely recognized as an effective strategy for tuning transition metal catalytic activity, yet its direct impact on electrochemical CO₂ reduction (ECO₂RR) remains not fully understood. In this work, a strategy of Cu-doped Ag is employed to construct a series of AgCu nanosheet structures (NS) with varying lattice compression rates (from −1.90% to −2.75%). Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, along with in situ infrared spectroscopic analysis, demonstrate that Cu incorporation efficiently modulates the electronic structure of Ag, promoting enhanced charge transfer. Especially, the changed lattice compression rates can alter the charge density at adsorption sites, thereby ameliorating the surface coverage of CO and adsorption energy of the reaction intermediates ( * COOH and * CO). As a result, the AgCu 5% catalyst exhibits a maximum Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 95.5% for CO production in an H-cell and 98% in a flow cell at −0.8 V RHE , respectively. Simultaneously, the AgCu 5% catalyst achieves FE CO of above 86% in the ultrawide current range of 33–215 mA cm −2 . The work affords an effective way to use a strain compression strategy to improve the CO 2 reduction performance.
