Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the important tools for clinical treatment of breast cancer. Currently, some nanoradiosensitizers have been developed for augmenting the therapeutic efficiency of RT. However, some limitations still exist for their further applications, such as oxygen dependence in hypoxic tumors, nonideal selectivity for tumors, and inevasible damages to normal tissues. To resolve these problems, a biomimetic nanoplatform was developed for efficient co-loading and precise co-delivery of oxygen and nanoradiosensitizer by taking advantage of large pore volumes and easy surface modification of dendritic large pore mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DLMSNs). The outer surfaces of DLMSNs were modified with citric acid for attaching firmly and chelating stably with ultrasmall Cu-Se-Au alloy nanoparticles possessing distinct radiosensitizing and photothermal conversion performances. The inner surfaces of DLMSNs were modified with perfluorosilane for loading perfluorohexane that has extraordinary oxygen-carrying capability to alleviate tumor hypoxia . White blood cells membranes were wrapped onto the surfaces of the resultant DLMSNs for promoting co-delivery of therapeutic agents targeting to tumor and reducing injuries to normal tissues. Biomimetic nanotherapeutic system thus prepared showed powerful suppression effects against breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo by intelligently integrating tumor-targeted delivery, oxygen supply, radiosensitizing and photothermal ablation.

Reasonable construction of multi-pore heterogeneous structures and enhancement of synergistic interaction between metal ions are important means to improve the performance of supercapacitors . This work selected metal organic frameworks (MOF) as the sacrificial template, and Se-doped needle-like nanosphere heterostructures Se-CoSe 2 @ZnSe were successfully prepared by in situ growth and selenization treatment. The specific capacity of the Se-CoSe 2 @ZnSe-5 (CZS-5) electrode is up to 2469.12 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 , and the capacity retention rate of 3000 cycles at a current density of 10 A g −1 is 85.39 %. The CZS-5//AC hybrid supercapacitor has a high power density of 1280.00 W kg −1 at an energy density of 68.88 Wh kg −1 . The excellent electrochemical properties are attributed to the construction of Se-CoSe 2 @ZnSe heterostructure of needle-shaped nanospheres enhances the synergy between Zn and Co ions; the doping of selenium effectively improves the conductivity of the electrode material; selenium vacancies produced during selenization increase the activity of the active site. In addition, the density functional theory (DFT) calculation shows that Se-CoSe 2 @ZnSe-5 has higher density of states (DOS) near the Fermi energy level, which provides additional theoretical support for the improvement of electrochemical performance.

Inorganic chalcogenides containing cations with lone-pair electrons have attracted considerable attention because of their potential applications in photocatalysis. In this research, two new copper thioarsenates with the lowest Cu-to-As ratio in the quaternary X/Cu/As/Q (X = inorganic cations; Q = chalcogen) system, namely Cs3CuAs4Q8 (Q = S, Se), were obtained by a simple surfactant–thermal method at a low temperature. These two isostructural compounds belong to the monoclinic space group C2/c (no. 15) and are composed charge-balanced Cs+ cations and two-dimensional anionic [CuAs4Q8]3− layers. Notably, photo-electrochemical measurements indicate that Cs3CuAs4Q8 possesses a remarkable photocurrent response under simulated solar-light illumination. Further theoretical studies were performed to gain insights into the relationships between electronic structure and optical properties.

A simple, rapid, and accurate method for determination of selenocystine (SeCys 2 ), methyl selenocysteine (MeSeCys), selenourea (SeUr), selenite (Se(IV)), selenotmethionine (SeMet), and selenate (Se(VI)) in grain crops was developed, based on the coupling of ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (IP-RP-HPLC) and ultraviolet irradiation hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (UV-HG-AFS). The conditions of IP-RP-HPLC-UV-HG -AFS were studied. The conditions of the pretreatment sample, such as types and dosage of proteinases, were investigated. The detection limits (LODs) for six Se species were between 0.77 and 1.77 μg·L −1 . Then, the proposed method has been successfully used to analyze selenium (Se) species in Se-enriched rice paddy ( Oryza sativa L. ), soybean ( Glycine max (Linn.) Merr. ), and sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. ) with foliar application of sodium selenite solution. SeMet was the major Se spices in Se-enriched grain crops, ranged from 77–90% of the total Se contents. The capabilities of Se enrichment were relatively larger differences in three-grain corps as follows: soybean > rice paddy > sweet potato.

The crystal quality of a Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin film is crucially important to a high-performance CZTSSe solar cell. After selenization, a bilayer CZTSSe thin film consisting of a large-grain top layer and a small-particle bottom layer is usually observed according to the literature. In this work, a facile air-annealing pretreatment is conducted for a Cu2ZnSnS4 precursor thin film prior to selenization, which can lead to sodium diffusion into the CZTS precursor thin film and surface oxidization of the CZTS thin film. Our experimental results revealed that the Na prediffusion and the surface oxidation of the CZTS precursor thin film can significantly promote the crystal growth of the CZTSSe thin film, which can completely remove the small-particle bottom layer and form a large-grain-spanned CZTSSe thin film. As a result, a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 9.80% was achieved by this method.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising treatment for tumors due to its efficiency and non-invasiveness. However, during the PTT treatment, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in response to hyperthermia and thus harm the neighboring normal cells. In this work, a multifunctional theranostic agent (Se@SiO2@Au-PEG/DOX NCs) was exploited to solve this problem by introducing selenium, which can efficiently prevent normal cells from oxidative damage by scavenging reactive oxygen species during photothermal therapy. In addition, the Se@SiO2@Au-PEG/DOX nanocomposites (NCs) not only exhibited excellent properties of combined chemo-thermal synergistic therapy, but also showed no appreciable toxicity towards normal tissues due to the protective effect for continuous release of selenium. Thus, the fabricated Se@SiO2@Au-PEG/DOX NCs provide an integrated solution to overcome the limitations of selenium and PTT, and demonstrate great prospects as a safe and highly reliable theranostic agent.

In this work, Cu 2 ZnSn 1- x Ge x S 4 (CZTGS) precursor thin films with varied Ge composition ( x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1) were prepared by using a water-based solution approach. After selenizing at 550 °C for 10 min in a graphite box containing selenium powder, the as-fabricated kesterite Cu 2 ZnSn 1- x Ge x (S,Se) 4 (CZTGSSe) thin films were systematically investigated for phase structure, morphology, valence states of elements, optical properties , and electrical properties. The results showed that the Ge element was successfully incorporated into the host lattice of Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe), and kesterite CZTGSSe films were formed. As the Ge content increased, the crystal grains in the films grew larger and showed uniform morphology on the sample surfaces. The band gap in the CZTGS(Se) thin films could be engineered in the range of 1.21 eV–2.00 eV by tuning the relative compositions of the Ge elements. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the doping of Ge improved the mobility, resistivity, and photoelectric performance of the films. Finally, the Cu 2 ZnSn 0.8 Ge 0.2 (S,Se) 4 solar cell device with an efficiency of 5.39% was prepared. The results indicate that non-toxic water solution-based CZTGSSe films showed potential for application in solar cells.

The metal chalcogenides are excellent choices as absorbers and buffer-layers in thin film solar cells. Versatile chemical approaches provide endless possibilities to prepare metal sulfide precursor solutions. Recently, Cu2ZnSnS(Se)4 thin films have played an important role in fabricating low-cost and high-efficiency solar cells. Here, we present a robust and low-cost 1,2-ethanedithiol/ethanolamine/2-methoxyethanol ternary solution process to prepare Cu2ZnSnS4 precursor solution and high-quality Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films. Low-cost Cu2O, ZnO and SnO are used as the raw materials, which can be easily dissolved in the 2-methoxyethanol solution of 1,2-ethanedithiol and ethanolamine at room temperature in air. By tuning the composition of the Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 thin film with a selenization process, an active-area power conversion efficiency of 7.34% has been achieved for Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 solar cell.

Industrial flue gas mercury emissions account for 30% of global atmospheric mercury emissions. While selenium-based materials show potential in reducing mercury emissions, the aspect of mercury recovery is neglected amidst the pressing need for mercury resources. Unlike conventional adsorbent regeneration cycles, elemental selenium anchoring mercury directly yields valuable by-products such as HgSe, a semiconductor with a narrow bandgap, considered ideal for optoelectronic devices. Amorphous selenium (α-Se) exhibits high mercury removal efficiency at room temperature but converts to less active trigonal selenium (t-Se) in high-temperature industrial flue gas. The literature on the mercury removal behavior of t-Se is limited. To address this issue, rod-shaped selenium (Se-rod) with specific exposed active crystal facets (101) and vacancy defects is synthesized, achieving an exceptional mercury adsorption capacity of 430.10 mg g −1 . Moreover, the optical performance of self-produced HgSe surpasses those of commercial samples. Se-rod can be utilized for mercury removal while also bridging the gap in mercury resource supply.

Inkjet printing is a promising and scalable drop-on-demand deposition technique for cost-effective mass production of thin film solar cells. However, the efficiency of inkjet-printed Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) solar cells based on dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) precursor ink is inferior to state-of-the-art spin-coated devices. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the efficiencies of inkjet-printed CZTSSe solar cells. In this work, inkjet printing technique is used to deposit flat and continuous CZTSSe thin films in ambient air using a novel 2-methoxyethanol-based ink that shows long-term stability in the air and better wettability compared to the conventional used DMSO-based ink. In addition, the effects of printing resolution on the structure, morphology, electrical and photovoltaic properties of CZTSSe light harvesting layer are investigated. Eventually, a remarkable device efficiency of 12.86% is achieved, surpassing the reported record efficiency for CZTSSe solar cells based on inkjet printing by ≈40%. Notably, this inkjet printing method allows for the significant reduction of preparation cost of CZTSSe thin films by improving the raw material utilization, thus paving a more viable pathway toward the sustainable development of CZTSSe solar cells.

The overexpression of glutathione (GSH) within the tumor microenvironment has long been considered as the major obstacle for reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based antitumor therapies. To address this challenge, a selenite (SeO 3 2 − ) and ferric ion co-doped hydroxyapatite (SF-HAP) nanohybrid was synthesized, which is then introduced into poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to prepare porous scaffold by selective laser sintering to continuously release Fe 3+ and SeO 3 2− ions. Of great significance is the released SeO 3 2− catabolize GSH to generate superoxide anion (O 2 •− ) rather than directly eliminating GSH, thereby reversing the obstacle posed by its overexpression and achieving a "waste-to-treasure" transformation. The newly generated O 2 •− synergizes with the hydroxyl radicals (•OH) produced by the Fenton reaction between Fe 3+/2+ and hydrogen peroxide, triggering high concentration ROS storms. Collectively, the PLLA/SF-HAP scaffold mediated self-augmented catabolism dynamic progress significantly raised intracellular ROS levels, almost twice as much as PLLA/Fe-HAP scaffold, thereby effectively inducing tumor cell apoptosis. The study provides an innovative inspiration for ROS-based antitumor therapies.

Air-processed kesterite solar cells show excellent prospects for commercial application because they are suitable for large-scale production. This study shows how the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of (Cu, Ag) 2 ZnSn(S, Se) 4 solar cells can be improved by adjusting the annealing time during the selenization process at a low temperature of 70 °C. Enhancement of PCE is achieved when the annealing time is 240 s. The primary determinant of enhanced PCE is a reduction in reverse saturation current density (J 0 ) and ideality factor (A). Examination of depth characterization indicated that the decrease in J 0 and A can be ascribed to the inhibition of [2Cu Zn + Sn Zn ] defects cluster, which is mainly accountable for the band tail states, and the suppression of interface recombination .
