Although a wide variety of single-function coatings have been successfully developed, the integration of multiple functions onto a single coating has remained an immense challenge in the field. Here, we report a simple room-temperature fabrication of robust coatings with UV-shielding, light conversion, and antifogging functionalities. The addition of glutaraldehyde (GA) molecular cross-linker and carbon dot (CD) nanocross-linker with light conversion function to poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) resulted in the formation of robust spatial structures of coatings. The fluorescence intensity tests demonstrated that the coatings had an excellent ability to absorb and convert ultraviolet light into blue-violet light. Both cold-warm and hot-vapor tests showed that the coatings had excellent antifogging performance. To our surprise, no creases were observed after coatings were immersed in water for 1 month, indicating that these are much stronger than those reported so far. The 8H pencil hardness and wear resistance attested to their excellent mechanical properties. The current preparation method can be operated at ambient temperature and is not restricted by the substrate type and shape. Therefore, it may also expand the possibilities for future applications of coatings for glass windows, optical microscopes, eyeglasses, agricultural greenhouses, and so on.

An innovative light scattering immunoassay was developed using an AuNPs etching strategy. Three types of anisotropic gold nanoparticles, including gold nanocubes, nanorods, and nanoflowers with distinct morphologies, were utilized to investigate how these morphological differences affect the sensitivity of light scattering signal transduction. Based on theoretical insights into light scattering and electromagnetic fields, gold nanocubes were identified as the optimal probes for enhancing light scattering signal transduction and were employed to construct an immunoassay for detecting staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA). The developed immunoassay achieved ultrahigh sensitivity for SEA detection in milk samples, with a detection limit of 10.39 pg mL −1 , which is 190 times lower than that of conventional ELISA. The proposed immunoassay was validated across ten food samples, demonstrating high accuracy and robustness. Given these promising results, we believe this method has significant potential for screening trace levels of SEA in food products.

Metal phthalocyanines (MPcs) have attracted more and more attention in recent years for the catalytic degradation of pollutants in water driven by visible light. However, they are easy to aggregate in the aqueous phase and difficult to recycle, which seriously limits their photocatalytic activity and applicability. Introducing phthalocyanine into polymers may be an effective way to solve the above problems. Herein, three kinds of copolymers PNIPAM x - co -PDUPcZn y with different molecular weights and monomer ratios were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, with S-1-dodecyl-S′-(α,α’-dimethyl-α”-acetic acid)trithiocarbonate (DDMAT) as chain transfer agent, 3-undecenamide-9(10),16(17),23(24)-decyloxy‑zinc phthalocyanine (DUPcZn) and N -isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM) as monomers, 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) (AIBN) as initiator. The polymerization process shows the characteristics of living polymerization, and the polymer dispersity index (PDI) values are <1.1. The three copolymers exhibit obvious thermo-responsive characteristics and the lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) are between 32.7 °C and 33.1 °C. The photocatalytic activity of the copolymers was evaluated by using 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) and Cr(VI) as model pollutants. It was found that the three copolymers had photocatalytic oxidation performance for DHN and photocatalytic reduction performance for Cr(VI), and their photocatalytic property was affected by the pH of the model pollutant solution and the catalytic temperature. Among them, PNIPAM 57 - co -PDUPcZn 7 exhibit a photocatalytic oxidation rate of 93.0% for DHN and the photocatalytic reduction rate of 70.0% for Cr(VI), respectively, under the visible light irradiation for 120 min at pH = 5 and 32 °C. More importantly, the homogeneous catalysis and heterogeneous recovery are achieved in the catalytic process through simple temperature regulation. In addition, the copolymers exhibited excellent chemical stability and reusability after three cycles. Finally, O 2 1 /e − was determined to be the active species that plays a crucial role in the photocatalytic oxidation/reduction process, upon which a possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed. This research provides a promising strategy for the synthesis of environmentally friendly visible light catalysts for the sewage (waste) water treatment.

Sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) are emerging fluorescent nanomaterials, whereas most of the methods for synthesizing SQDs are limited to thermal synthesis. In this study, we report the first case of a light-driven strategy for facile synthesis of SQDs and further applied the SQDs for fluorescence cell imaging. The light-driven synthesis strategy only utilized Na2S as the sulfur source and nano-TiO2 as the photosensitizer. Under ultraviolet illumination, the nano-TiO2 photosensitizer generated a large number of •O2– and •OH to oxidize S2– to Sx2– and further to elemental sulfur, which could be obtained as monodispersed SQDs after etching by H2O2. The prepared SQDs exhibit excellent tunable photoluminescence properties, superior stability, and a uniform small size, with particle diameters in the range of 0.5–4 nm, and the fluorescence absolute quantum yield is as high as 27.8%. Meanwhile, the prepared SQDs also exhibited extreme biocompatibility and stability, and we further applied it for intracellular imaging and Hg2+ sensing with satisfactory results. In comparison to the widely reported thermal synthesis, the light-driven synthesis method is greener and simpler, opening a new way for the preparation of biocompatible SQDs.

MIL-101(Cr) is an ideal material for wastewater treatment due to its large specific surface area, excellent water stability, and chemical stability. However, its limited light absorption capacity hinders its application. We loaded ferrocene carboxylic acid (Fc-COOH) onto MIL-101(Cr) by a post-synthetic modification method, which resulted in the MOF possessing excellent optical properties while maintaining its original skeleton structure. The MIL-101(Cr)/Fc-COOH (1:2), (abbreviated as CFCC-2) exhibited the best performance, achieving a removal rate of 96% for tetracycline (TC) in just 30 min. This removal rate is significantly higher compared to MIL-101(Cr) and Fc-COOH, which achieved removal rates of only 15% and 21%, respectively. We propose a possible Z-type heterojunction mechanism between MIL-101(Cr) and Fc-COOH to explain the excellent photocatalytic performance of CFCC-2. The intermediates in TC were identified using LC-MS, and the toxicity of these intermediates was predicted and evaluated through the Toxicity Estimation Software Tool (T.E.S.T.). This study provides new insights into the design and fabrication of MIL-101(Cr)-based catalysts as photodegrading organic pollutants.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a mycotoxin commonly found in foodstuffs, poses significant health risks when ingested through contaminated food sources. Therefore, it is imperative to devise a safe and efficient method for AFB1 degradation. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) stands out as an exceptionally stable, non-toxic, and economical photocatalyst, which is widely used in photocatalysis. In this study, we explored the photocatalytic performance of four g-C3N4 catalysts derived from different precursors (dicyandiamide (D-CN), melamine (M-CN), thiourea (T-CN), and urea (U-CN)) in AFB1 degradation under visible light. Notably, the U-CN catalyst displayed an impressive degradation rate of 93.5% for AFB1 within 30 min, outperforming M-CN (82.5%), T-CN (78.5%), and D-CN (46.2%). This superior performance is attributed to its inherent porous structure, enlarged specific surface area, and reduced electron–hole pairs’ recombination rate. Additionally, our investigation identified ˙O2− as the primary active species in AFB1 degradation. Furthermore, we explored the degradation pathway of AFB1 and its associated inactivation mechanism mediated by the U-CN catalyst. This work provides a theoretical foundation for developing highly efficient photocatalysts in AFB1 degradation.

Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production via the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) provides a promising and energy-saving alternative to the traditional energy-intensive anthraquinone process. Nevertheless, how to decrease the energy barrier of the two-electron (2e–) ORR process and photosynthesize H2O2 efficiently is still challenging. Herein, three hydroxyl-functionalized donor–acceptor covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are synthesized for photocatalytic H2O2 production under visible-light irradiation (420 ≤ λ ≤ 780 nm). It is observed that the dihydroxyl functionalization (2,5-DhaTph and 2,3-DhaTph) facilitates the transportation of photogenerated carriers between acceptor and donor units and accelerates the kinetics of the rate-limiting step of the ORR when comparing with the monohydroxyl functionalization (2-DhaTph). Further, 2,5-DhaTph with para-position hydroxyl functionalization shows higher H2O2 photosynthesis efficiency than 2,3-DhaTph (ortho-positioned hydroxyl), probably due to the greater exposure of catalytically active sites. This is supported by a better structural symmetry of 2,5-DhaTph, which contributes to higher crystallinity and higher specific surface areas. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra and theoretical calculations show that 2,5-DhaTph produces the *OOH intermediates with a reduced energy barrier, resulting in a high H2O2 production rate of 2103.1 μmol h–1 g–1. Regulating the amount of hydroxyl substituents and their location on the donor units of COFs is an effective strategy to boost photogenerated carrier transfer and reduce the energy barrier of O2-to-H2O2 conversion.

Cytopharmaceutical based on macrophages is a breakthrough in the field of targeted drug delivery. However, it remains a challenge to localize and control drug release while retaining macrophage activity and exerting its immunotherapeutic effect. Herein, a localized light-triggered release macrophage cytopharmaceutical (USIP@M) was proposed, which could utilize the tumor targeting and immunotherapy effects of macrophages to reverse the immune suppression of tumor microenvironment (TME). Amphiphilic block copolymers with ultraviolet (UV)-responsive o -nitrobenzyl groups were synthesized and co-loaded with sorafenib (SF), IMD-0354 (IMD), and upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs), which were then taken up by macrophages, and the targeted delivery of drugs was realized by using the tumor tropism of macrophages. UCNPs converted near-infrared light with strong penetrability and high safety into UV light, which promoted the photoresponsive depolymerization of block copolymers and production of exosomes from USIP@M, accelerated drug efflux and maintained the activity of macrophages. IMD simultaneously polarized carrier macrophages and tumor-associated macrophages to exert the antitumor effect of macrophages, enhance T cell immunity, and alleviate the immunosuppressive state of TME. Synergistically with the chemotherapeutic effect of SF, it could effectively kill tumors. In conclusion, based on the localized light-triggered release strategy, this study constructed a novel macrophage cytopharmaceutical that could localize and control drug release while retaining the activity of macrophages and exerting its immunotherapeutic effect, which could effectively treat solid tumors.

The two-dimensional transition metal carbide MXenes, often designated by Ti 3 C 2 T x , have garnered significant interest on account of their distinctive optoelectronic characteristics. In this paper, PEDOT:PSS/Ti 3 C 2 T x composite hole transport layer (HTLs) was prepared by adding the MXenes material Ti 3 C 2 T x into PEDOT:PSS, and quasi-two-dimensional perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) were fabricated and investigated. While the addition concentration of Ti 3 C 2 T x was 0.25 mg/mL, the optimal device shows the maximum luminance of 6250 cd/m 2 , and the current efficiency of 6.17 cd/A, which is 133 % and 112 % higher than the reference device without Ti 3 C 2 T x , respectively. It is indicated that the additive incorporation of Ti 3 C 2 T x in PEDOT:PSS can improve the efficiency of hole injection and conductivity of hole transport layer, and passivate the defects of perovskite film, thus enhancing the optoelectronic performance of PeLEDs. The findings of this study indicate that the PEDOT:PSS/Ti 3 C 2 T x composite HTLs has considerable potential for application in PeLEDs.

CdS with a visible light response and energy band location suitable for CO 2 photoreduction has received extensive attention. However, low product selectivity and photocatalytic efficiency limit its application. Here, NaBH 4 is used as a reducing agent to generate Cd metal on the surface of CdS nanorods in situ. This leads to the construction of a B-CdS/Cd metal cocatalyst/semiconductor structure. This configuration significantly enhanced the CdS's activity of photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. The Cd metal which is on the surface of CdS nanorods promoted the separation and transfer of photogenerated charges and increased both light photosensitivity and CO 2 adsorption capabilities. The improved B-CdS/Cd catalyst shows excellent CO 2 reduction capabilities by generating CO at a rate of 323.39 μmol g − 1 h − 1 , which is 2.01 times more than pure CdS, owing to the synergistic enhancements. Simultaneously, Cd acts as an active site inhibiting H 2 production during the CO 2 reduction reaction. This work demonstrates the potential of Cd metal as a metal cocatalyst in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction.

Glypican-3 (GPC3) is exclusively overexpressed in most Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue but not in normal liver tissue, making it a promising biomarker for the precise detection of HCC. In this paper, a label-free light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) decorated by platinumpalladium-hemin-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites (PtPd@H-rGO NCs) was constructed for determination of GPC3. The GPC3 aptamer (GPC3 Apt ) and PtPd@H-rGO NCs were modified on the surface of silicon-based LAPS chip to build sensitive unit of LAPS system. A readout photocurrent elicited from a modulated light source, registers the localized surface potential change. When a bias voltage is provided to the LAPS system, the GPC3-GPC3 Apt complexes formed by the specific reaction between GPC3 and GPC3 Apt at the sensing interface can cause the sensitive membrane surface potential to change, resulting in the photocurrent-voltage (I-V) curves generate a corresponding offset response. Therefore GPC3 concentration can be determined by monitoring the potential shifts (△V). Under optimal conditions, the potential shift is linearly related to the concentration of GPC3 in the range of 0.001–3.00 μg/mL with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0001 μg/mL. The LAPS has a good analytical performance with good specificity, reproducibility and stability, and can be used for the detection of GPC3 in actual serum samples, which provides a broad application prospect for the combined application of LAPS and aptamers in biooassay.

Photolysis is the main pathway for the degradation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Most investigations, however, have been limited to the ultraviolet or visible region, and the reaction mechanism of infrared (IR) light is still unclear. In this study, the photodegradation of o,p' -dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes ( o,p' -DDT) on the silica (SiO 2 )/air interface under different irradiation light sources was systematically investigated. Interestingly, for the first time, effective degradation of o,p' -DDT under IR light irradiation was observed, which was ascribed to the anti-Stokes Raman scattering process of SiO 2 . Moreover, desert sands could also serve as a vector for the photodegradation of o,p' -DDT. The lower removal efficiency of desert sands compared to pure SiO 2 was a combined effect of differences in Fe 3+ component and SiO 2 content. It is worth noting that direct photodegradation plays a dominant role in the photodegradation of o,p' -DDT on SiO 2 . Besides, indirect photodegradation resulted mainly from •OH (25.0%), O 2 • − (6.9%), and 1 O 2 (5.6%) generated in the reaction system. In addition to hydroxylation and dechlorination products, the formation of four novel silicon-based products was observed, which resulted from the direct reaction of silyl radicals with o,p' -DDT. This study revealed that the specific Raman scattering effect of SiO 2 played a vital role in the self-purification process of POPs upon SiO 2 -based environmental matrices. The light-mediated decontamination system upon SiO 2 constructed in this study could provide critical information for addressing POPs contamination on sands.
