TiO 2 –ZnO/Au ternary heterojunction nanocomposite was fabricated by producing TiO 2 nanosheets first using solvent-thermal method followed by Au deposition and ZnO deposition respectively. The TiO 2 nanosheets provide a relatively large surface area for the good dispersion of ZnO nanoparticles and Au particles and sufficient contact with the medium, which contribute to the excellent photocatalytic performances of TiO 2 –ZnO/Au heterojunction composite. The phases and structures, morphologies, surface and optical properties of the ternary heterojunction composite are well-characterized. Subsequently, the photocatalytic hydrogen generation of TiO 2 –ZnO/Au is evaluated under visible light irradiation. TiO 2 –ZnO/Au ternary heterojunction composite has efficient light absorption ability and excellent performances in photocatalytic hydrogen generation (1068 μmol/g under the irradiation of visible light for 4 h) and antibacterial properties (reaching 98.2%). TiO 2 –ZnO/Au ternary heterojunction nanocomposite has a large potential to be used in areas such as interior wall coating.

An injectable hydrogel sustained drug release system could be a promising technique for in situ treatment. Herein, an injectable hydrogel was prepared for photothermal-chemo therapy of cancer based on the thermosensitive liposomal hydrogel (Lip-Gel). The Lip-Gel system was fabricated by encapsulation of the NIR-II photothermal agent (DPP–BTz) and chemotherapy drugs (GEM) in thermosensitive liposomes and then combined with hydrogel precursor solution. The hydrogel precursor was used as an injectable flowing solution at room temperature and transferred into a cross-linked gel structure at physiological temperature. After being injected into the tumor, DPP–BTz in the Lip-Gel system can generate heat under irradiation of 1064 nm laser, breaking the thermosensitive liposomes and releasing GEM to kill tumor cells. From the treatment results, the Lip-Gel system showed a significant antitumor effect through chemo-/photothermal therapy combination therapy triggered by the NIR-II laser. This work provides a useful scheme for the development of drug delivery and drug treatment directions for local cancer therapy.

Rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has brought huge threat to global healthcare systems. Alternative strategies are urgently needed to fight against these superbugs. In this study, we synthesized a series of cobalt phosphide nanoarchitectures and characterized their physicochemical properties as well as their antibacterial activities. We found that all nanomaterials showed an impressive photothermal property as indicated by their strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption capacity. In particular, 1D-CoP nanowires exhibited the optimal photothermal efficiency due to their higher aspect ratio. Under NIR light illumination, the temperature of the 1D-CoP nanowires suspension was increased by 45.4 °C within 20 min. In contrast, the temperatures of 2D-CoP nanoplates and 3D-CoP nanocubes were increased by 25.5 °C and 26.9 °C, respectively. The growth of planktonic bacteria can be effectively inhibited by 99% within 30 min under NIR irradiation with the presence of 1D-CoP nanowires in suspension. In comparison, up to 60% of the bacteria could be killed when treated with 2D-CoP nanoplates and 3D-CoP nanocubes. Moreover, all nanomaterials displayed high cytocompatibility. This work emphasizes that the anisotropy plays an important role in governing the photothermal properties of NIR-driven materials. Furthermore, the application of CoP nanowires is a promising strategy to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

A facile and efficient room-temperature synthesis approach was proposed to prepare MOF material Cu(Qc) 2 (henceforth called RT-Cu(Qc) 2 ) with ultramicropores. RT-Cu(Qc) 2 was successfully synthesized at room-temperature by means of (Zn, Cu) hydroxyl double salt as intermediate within 1–12 h. The resulting RT-Cu(Qc) 2 exhibited excellent water vapor stability and its C 2 H 6 uptake reached 2.19 mmol/g at 288 K and 1 bar. Its C 2 H 6 /C 2 H 4 and C 2 H 6 /CH 4 uptake ratio at 298 K and 1 bar were up to 3.70 and 22.67, superior to benchmark MAF-49, Cu(Qc) 2 and ZIF-7. Its IAST-predicted C 2 H 6 /C 2 H 4 and C 2 H 6 /CH 4 selectivity reached 4.1 (1:1 v:v) and 35.9 (1:9 v:v) at 288 K and 1 bar, higher than most of ethane-capturing MOFs. Molecular simulation revealed well-defined host–guest match between Cu(Qc) 2 and ethane. Fixed bed experiments confirmed that ethane/ethylene or ethane/methane mixtures can be completely separated using RT-Cu(Qc) 2 . RT-Cu(Qc) 2 has great potential for separation of ethane/ethylene and the recovery of ethane from natural gas.

Fluorescent proteins (FPs) with good photostability and outstanding photoluminescence features are very promising luminous materials for the fabrication of white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). However, the requirement of an aqueous environment and poor thermal stability have strongly restricted their wide applications in lighting devices. In this paper, we present a facile strategy to encapsulate R-phycoerythrin (R-PE) fluorescent proteins into a blue metal organic framework (MOF) HSB-W1 (HSB = hydrogenated Schiff base) thin film through a facile solid-confinement conversion process. As a result, R-PE proteins embedded into HSB-W1 crystals are denatured, but exhibit dual color fluorescence emissions including green (518 nm) and red (600, 647 nm) light, while the original single orange light (578 nm) is significantly suppressed. After careful adjustment of R-PE content, the resulting R-PE@HSB-W1 thin film emits high-quality white light with nearly ideal Commission Internationale de I’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.33, 0.34), a high color rendering index (CRI) value of approximately 85 and a moderately correlated color temperature (CCT) value of 5740 K. Such a strategy can be widely utilized for other fluorescent molecules and luminescent MOFs to design white-light-emitting materials.

Black TiO2 has received tremendous attention because of its lattice disorder-induced reduction in the TiO2 bandgap, which yields excellent light absorption and photocatalytic ability. In this report, a highly efficient visible-light-driven black TiO2 photocatalyst was synthesized with a mesoporous hollow shell structure. It provided a higher specific surface area, more reaction sites and enhanced visible light absorption capability, which significantly promoted the photocatalytic reaction. Subsequently, the mesoporous hollow black TiO2 with different lattice disorder-engineering degrees were designed. The structure disorder in the black TiO2 obviously increased with reduction temperature, leading to improved visible light absorption. However, their visible-light-driven photocatalytic efficiency increased first and then decreased. The highest value can be observed for the sample reduced at 350 °C, which was 2-, 1.4- and 5-fold that of the samples reduced at 320 °C, 380 °C and 400 °C, respectively. This contradiction can be ascribed to the varied functions of the surface defects with different concentrations in the black TiO2 during the catalytic process. In particular, the defects at low concentrations boost photocatalysis but reverse photocatalysis at high concentrations when they act as charge recombination centers. This study provides significant insight for the fabrication of high-efficiency visible-light-driven catalytic black TiO2 and the understanding of its catalysis mechanism.

Robust ceramic color converters withstanding strong laser irradiations have recently drawn great attention for laser-driven white lighting. However, the local emission within the incident laser spot usually expands to the whole surface area of the ceramics, which definitely makes it hard to achieve white light with high luminance and high directionality. Herein, a new strategy is proposed to solve the problem by elaborately introducing uniform spherical pores (diameter of ≈2 µm) into the phosphor ceramics with controlled contents from 8 to 24.6 vol%. The well-distributed pores, acting as light scattering centers, enable reduction of the luminescent spot size greatly but without any losses in conversion efficiency. By using the high-scattering ceramic color converters with 15% porosity, the light spot diameter is decreased by 46% and the central illuminance is increased by 156%. Moreover, laser-driven white light with an enhanced beam directionality and uniformity is also achieved. A superhigh luminous flux of 7199 lm is realized by using this promising color converter in a rotary mode. The designed high-scattering ceramics with controllable microstructures show great potential for use in extra-high luminance laser-driven lighting and projection.

In this paper, a cross-linked poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK):phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) layer is used as the hole transport layer in perovskite light-emitting devices, and the morphology, crystal structure, and photophysical properties of perovskite films on the PVK:PMA layer are studied. The addition of PMA into the PVK layer improves the perovskite morphology integrity and promotes hole transport. As a result, perovskite light-emitting devices using a PVK:PMA hole transport layer exhibit an improved maximum luminous efficiency of 22.1 cd A−1 and power efficiency of 18.2 lm W−1 when compared with those of the counterparts with a PVK hole transport layer. Efficient perovskite light-emitting devices can be accessed by using various antisolvents due to the good solvent resistance of PVK:PMA networks. Moreover, the luminous efficiencies of perovskite light-emitting devices with a PVK:PMA hole transport layer are almost invariant irrespective of the presence of a hole injection layer, illustrating wide applicability of the PVK:PMA hole transport layer in perovskite light-emitting devices.

Deep debromination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) by visible light photocatalysis is still a challenge in the field of halogenated pollutants control. Here, an efficient photocatalyst (Pd/g-C 3 N 4 ) was prepared by a simple impregnation-chemical reduction method with bulk g-C 3 N 4 and PdCl 2 as precursors. Under preferred reaction conditions (visible light irradiation for 120 min), the use of the 0.5% Pd/g-C 3 N 4 composites (0.4 g L −1 ) yielded an almost complete debromination of BDE47 (10 μmol L −1 ) in methanol-water mixture, while the debromination of BDE47 did not occur on pure g-C 3 N 4 . A “Pd-promoted active H atom species attack and C-Br bond cleavage” route was proposed according to the identified degradation intermediates. A catalytic mechanism was further clarified: Pd nanoparticles exerted affinity interaction with bromine atoms, and the storing of electrons on Pd would increase the binding interaction. In the debromination process, methanol acts as both a hole scavenger and a hydrogen donor to provide active H atom species through the reaction of H + and photogenerated electrons on Pd nanoparticles. The initiation of BDE47 debromination on Pd nanoparticles required an induction period to enrich a critical amount of electrons for stretching the C-Br bond and its subsequent being attacked by active H atoms. The generated 2,2′-dibromodiphenyl ether (BDE4) would be further reduced to bromine-free products by hydro-debromination process or coupling reaction.

Rewritable paper exhibits the potential to replace conventional paper due to its reusable properties. However, compared to conventional paper, rewritable paper can fade, making it impossible to store information stably for a long time in a daily environment, which limits its application. Here, a series of photochromic gelatin/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composited films containing polyoxometalate were prepared. The addition of PVA had a significant effect on the mechanical, transparent, photochromic and fading properties of the film. The addition of PVA significantly inhibited the fading process of the film after photochromism. This was due to the increase of crosslink density in the film and the existence of hydrogen bonding between PVA and inorganic photochromic ammonium molybdate. Despite this, the film was able to achieve complete fading in 1.5 days in a humid environment and the fading time could be further accelerated to 2 h by heating. This film could display information stably over a long time while being rewritable. It was expected that this simple and effective design strategy is conducive to the development of a new generation of rewritable paper.

A novel ZnO–GO/CGH composite was prepared using an in situ synthesis process for photodegradation of methylene blue under visible light illumination. The chitin–graphene composite hydrogel (CGH) was used to provide uniform binding of the nano ZnO–GO composite to the hydrogel surface and prevent their agglomeration. GO provides multi-dimensional protons and electron transport channels for ZnO with a flower-like structure, which possessed improved photo-catalytic activity. SEM analysis indicates that the hydrogel has good adsorption properties with rougher surfaces and porous microstructure, which enables it to adsorb the dyes effectively. Under synergetic enhancement of adsorption and photo-catalysis, catalytic activity and nano ZnO–GO/CGH recycling improved greatly. Synthesized nano ZnO–GO/CGH showed high dye removal efficiency of 99%, about 2.2 times that of the pure chitin gel under the same condition. This suggests the potential application of the new photocatalytic composites to remove organic dyes from wastewater.

In recent years, using graphene to modify BiVO 4 has become a research hotspot. However, there are few reports on the effects of the graphene size and the loading content on the photocatalytic activity of the graphene-modified BiVO 4 . In this work, a series of BiVO 4 photocatalysts modified by oxide graphene (GO) of different sizes and loadings were prepared, characterized and their activities were investigated. The results showed that when the size of GO was 5–7 μm and the loading was 0.5 wt%, the phenol degradation rate over the GO-modified BiVO 4 was the best and reached 65.2% after 5 h visible light irradiation.
