Simultaneous achievement in high solid content and high microsphere yield is deemed a challenge in the fabrication of monodisperse microspheres by precipitation polymerization. We herein demonstrate that micro-sized monodisperse poly(methacrylic monomer-divinylbenzene) microspheres containing epoxy, lauyl, carboxyl and hydroxyl functions can be fabricated by solvothermal precipitation co-polymerization at 20% (mass) monomer loading with over 94% microsphere yield. The morphology and porosity of the obtained particles can be readily tuned by cosolvent-acetonitrile binary solvents. Addition of a small amount of cosolvent that has similar solubility parameter to that of the functional monomer can significantly improve the monodispersity of the obtained microspheres. When tetrahydrofuran was used as the co-solvent, the surface area of the highly porous microspheres achieved higher than 400 m 2 ·g −1 . Solvothermal precipitation co-polymerization can be expected in scale-up fabrication of various monodisperse functional microspheres free of any surfactant and additive.

Environmental contamination by 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) is a major concern. Photosynthetic bacteria have the ability to biodegrade 4-CP under dark aerobic conditions. In this study, we found that using different carbon sources (i.e. glucose, sodium acetate, sodium propionate sucrose, and malic acid) as co-metabolic substrates accelerated the biodegradation of 4-CP, and this acceleration was especially pronounced in the glucose treatment. A maximum degradation rate of 96.99% was reached under a concentration of 3.0 g·L−1 after 6 days of culture. The optimum conditions were pH 7.5, a temperature of 30°C, and a rotation speed of 135 rpm. The biodegradation of 4-CP was achieved at a range of salinities (0–3.0% NaCl, w/v). The biodegradation kinetics agreed with the Haldane model, and the kinetic constants were rmax = 0.14 d−1, Km = 33.9 mg·L−1, and Ki = 159.6 mg·L−1. Additionally, the coexistence of phenol or 2,4-dichlorophenol (2, 4-DCP) had a certain impact on the degradation of 4-CP under dark aerobic conditions. When the coexisting phenol concentration reached 100 mg·L−1, the maximum degradation rate of 4-CP reached 90.20%. The degradation rate of 4-CP decreased as the concentration of coexisting 2, 4-DCP increased.

Organo-montmorillonite (OMnt) has wide applications in paints, clay-polymer nanocomposites, biomaterials, etc. In most cases, the dispersibility and swellability of OMnt dictate the performance of OMnt in the target products. Previous studies have revealed that the properties can be improved when multiple organic species are co-introduced into the interlayer space of montmorillonite (Mnt). In the present study, single surfactant erucylamide (EA), dual-surfactants cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and octadecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (OTAC), and ternary-surfactants EA, CTAB, and OTAC were co-introduced into Mnt by solution intercalation. The resulting OMnts were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetry-differential thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), water contact-angle tests, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), laser particle-size analysis, and swelling indices. Mnt co-modified by ternary CTAB, OTAC, and EA led to a large d 001 value (4.20 nm), surface hydrophobicity with a contact angle of 95.6°, swellability (50 mL/g) with small average particle sizes (2.1−2.8 μm) in xylene, and >99% of the OMnt particles were kept as <5 μm in deionized water. The formation of EA-modified-Mnt was proposed according to hydrophobic affinity, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals forces. The nanoplatelets of the CTA + , OTA + , and EA co-modified OMnts in xylene were assembled into a house-of-cards structure by face-to-edge and edge-to-edge associations. The electrostatic attractions, electrostatic and steric repulsions, and hydrophobic interactions were responsible for the good dispersibility of OMnt in xylene. The ternary surfactant co-modified OMnt with high dispersion and swellability will make OMnt better suited for real-world applications.

A series of Co@N-C materials are synthesized from pyrolysis of ZIF-67 at different temperatures and employed as catalyst for electrochemical reduction of CO 2 (CO 2 RR) to syngas. Through a systematical investigation of the relationship between structure of Co@N-C catalysts and their catalytic activity, it could be found that the Co species exposed on the material surface mainly promote the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) process to produce H 2 , while the Co particles packaged by N-C skeleton provide electrons and transfer them to CO 2 molecule through the Co -N- C skeleton, promoting the CO 2 reduction reaction. Following this thinking, the pristine Co@N-C materials are treated by aqua regia to remove the surface exposed Co species. After acid treatment, the affinity of H species sharply decreases, and adsorption of CO 2 and transfer of electron to CO 2 are successfully improved. The acid-treated Co@N-C catalysts exhibit improved catalytic activity, faradic efficiency of CO, and stability in CO 2 RR process. Among all these catalysts, the obtained Co@N-C-700-A shows highest CO 2 reduction activity and stability, achieving a specific current of 25 A∙g (cat) −1 and a productivity of 0.266 mol (CO) h −1 ∙ g(cat) −1 at a mild potential of -0.57 V vs. RHE. The ratio of CO/H 2 in products could be adjusted in the range of 1/4 to 1.5/1.

Cationic micellar nanoparticles for chemotherapeutic drugs and therapeutic gene co-delivery were prepared based on a poly-( N -ε-carbobenzyloxy- l -lysine) (PZLL) and dendritic polyamidoamine (PAMAM) block copolymer (PZLL-D3). PZLL-D3 was synthesized by a copper-catalyzed azide alkyne cyclization (click) reaction between α-alkyne-PZLL and azide focal point PAMAM dendrons. Its structure was characterized by 1 H NMR and FTIR, and its buffering capability was determined by acid–base titration. MTT, agarose gel electrophoresis and flow cytometry studies showed that PZLL-D3 revealed low in vitro cytotoxicity, strong pDNA condensation ability, protection of pDNA against deoxyribonuclease I degradation and high gene transfection efficiency in 293T and HeLa cells. In addition, the micellar nanoparticles delivered pDNA and anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) simultaneously and efficiently to tumor cells, and the DOX loaded nanoparticles showed sustained in vitro release at pH = 7.4 and 5.8.

Functionalized magnetic microspheres were prepared by anchoring cross-linked core–shell poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (P(NIPAM-co-AA)) nanoparticles onto silica-coated magnetic microspheres (Fe3O4@SiO2). First, the smaller polystyrene/P(NIPAM-co-AA) core–shell nanoparticles were synthesized through seed emulsion polymerization and adhered to the surface of amino-modified Fe3O4@SiO2 micorspheres, which were made using the modified Stöber method through electrostatic interaction under appropriate preparation conditions. An amidation reaction between the carboxylic and amino groups on the respective surfaces was then catalyzed. Finally, the novel architecture magnetic microspheres with multiresponsive functionalities were obtained, and their polymerization conditions, environmental sensitivity, and magnetic properties were discussed and optimized. The superparamagnetism and temperature/pH dual responsivity and excellent dispersibility of the P(NIPAM-co-AA) functionalized magnetic microspheres provide them with high potential to be used in the fields of controlled drug delivery, bioseparation, and catalysis.

Buckypapers, the thin sheets made from an aggregate of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), have demonstrated promising electrical and thermal conductivities . However, the high in-plane to perpendicular anisotropy makes its application as thermal interface materials difficult. In order to increase the perpendicular electrical and thermal conductivities, copper nanowires (Cu NWs) were introduced into buckypapers. The Cu NWs stuck into the empty spaces between CNTs, connected them perpendicularly, and even induced a certain perpendicular CNT alignment. The electrical conductivity increased continuously with increasing the Cu content, while the smallest anisotropy was observed at the 50 wt.% Cu filling because an in-plane Cu network formed and improved much more the in-plane conductivity above this filling. On the contrary, as CNTs are more thermally conducting than Cu, the loading of Cu NWs over 50 wt.% decreased the thermal conductivity. Our measurement showed a high perpendicular conductivity of 10.1 W/m K at the 50 wt.% loading, more than quadruple and double as compared with the ones for a pure buckypaper and the one filled with 67–75 wt.% Cu NWs.

The initial mixture containing fully hydrolysed tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) solution was treated either by heating at 80 °C or by freeze-drying. After adding an appropriate amount of concentrated hydrofluoric acid , the resulting mixture was crystallized at 150 °C. The heating treated mixture produced polymorph A-enriched zeolite beta while freeze-drying treated mixture gave only normal zeolite beta. The 13 C magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) analysis and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated that a partial decomposition of TEAOH to generate triethylamine (TEA) occurred during the heating dehydration process, which was the only difference compared with the freeze-drying process. Together with the reduced TEAOH, different monoamines as a co-template directed the polymorph A-enriched zeolite beta with the freeze-drying process. Diamines as a co-template directed only the normal zeolite beta. The synthesis cost of polymorph A-enriched zeolite beta can be significantly reduced by lowering the usage of expensive TEAOH and using cheaper monoamines.

Porous carbon materials doped with transition metals have emerged as promising electrode materials in the field of energy storage due to their higher theoretical capacitance and cost-effectiveness. In this study, metallic cobalt nanoparticles (Co NPs) were successfully loaded into porous carbon via one-step carbonization method for electrochemical research applications as electrode materials (Co/CM). A comparative investigation was conducted by varying the content of polystyrene microspheres (PS) to optimize the porous morphology. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that the Co/CM-3 composite displayed a plate-like porous structure, while transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed the uniform loading of Co NPs within the porous carbon skeleton. The composite with the optimal PS content (Co/CM-3) exhibited a specific capacitance of up to 810 F g −1 (at 1 A g −1 ) in the three-electrode system. Furthermore, asymmetric supercapacitors assembled with the prepared electrode as the positive electrode and activated carbon as the negative electrode demonstrated an impressive energy density of up to 40 Wh kg −1 (at a power density of 746 W kg −1 ). Remarkably, the capacitance retention rate remained at 88.24 % even after 5000 consecutive charge and discharge cycles, highlighting the promising potential of this electrode material for practical applications in energy storage.

This paper introduces a simple, robust and inexpensive method to create a thermal responsive coating for glass. The coating is a copolymer of N‑isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and acrylamide (AAm), which can switch between clear and opaque states reversibly. The switching temperature can be adjusted from 32°C to 40°C by varying the percentage of acrylamide. The coating remains stable after switching 30 times and possesses switching function after six months storage at room temperature. These advanced properties enable the smart coating to be suitable for privacy and solar adaptive control.

Currently, immunotherapy based on photothermal and the application of photodynamic therapy in anti-tumor treatment is showing great potential. Its uniqueness lies in the critical role of small molecule immunomodulators in promoting effective immune responses against tumors, and the use of laser-activated biophysical mechanisms to precisely trigger the swift demise of cancer cells, avoiding damage to surrounding normal tissues. However, the use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) alone is hampered by the tumors’ hypoxic environment, resulting in poor antitumor effects, while photothermal therapy (PTT) alone cannot arouse enough antigen presentation. It is of great significance to design photosensitizers (PSs) that possess both PDT and PTT effects. Herein, a series of PSs with both PDT and PTT efficacy are reported, ultimately selecting Cy7-Naph as the star molecule due to its best overall phototherapeutic effect. Upon reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and thermogenesis in tumor cells, Cy7-Naph induced significant apoptosis and eventually boosted the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. By combining Cy7-Naph with the Toll-like receptor agonist Resiquimod (R848), a synergistic treatment for bilateral tumor-bearing mice is achieved. This combination promotes dendritic cell (DC) maturation and increases the infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), leading to significant inhibition of both primary and distant tumors.
