Herein, Na 2 SSeO 3 solutions are prepared by hydrothermal method at 140 °C for 8 h using Se powder and Na 2 SO 3 solution (the molar ratios of Se:Na 2 SO 3 = 1:4, 1:5, 1:6) and the chemical composition of Na 2 SSeO 3 solutions is analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Sb 2 S y Se 3− y thin films are prepared by chemical bath deposition (CBD) at 90 °C for 5 h and subsequently annealed at 375 °C for 10 min and etched by N -butyldithiocarbamic acid solution in DMF. The effect of the Na 2 SSeO 3 solution, growth solution volume, etching on the thickness and chemical composition of Sb 2 S y Se 3− y thin films, and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the corresponding solar cells is systematically investigated. The result reveals that the Na 2 SSeO 3 solutions may be the mixing solutions containing Na 2 SSeO 3 , Na 2 S 2 SeO 6 , Na 2 S 2 Se 2 O 6 , Na 2 Se. When the molar ratio of Se:Na 2 SO 3 and growth solution volume is 1:5 and 56 mL and the Sb 2 S y Se 3− y thin films with annealing are etched, the PCE of Sb 2 S y Se 3− y solar cells is 8.00% with spiro-OMeTAD and 8.43% with spiro-OMeTAD:TMT-TTF. The PCE of 8.43% is the highest value for Sb 2 S y Se 3− y solar cells using CBD and demonstrates that the composition engineering is an important strategy for improving the PCE of Sb 2 S y Se 3− y solar cells using CBD.

Among the two half-reactions of the electrochemical water splitting, the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a kinetically sluggish process and usually requires noble metal oxide catalysts. Therefore, the development of highly active, noble metal-free, and durable catalysts for OER is an urgent need for sustainable applications. The encapsulation of transition-metal alloyed nanoparticles in graphitic carbon layers, with core-shell features, is a viable approach for establishing an undegradable and highly efficient catalyst toward OER. Furthermore, the reactivity of the carbon shell surface can be further improved by the electron transfers between the core alloy and carbon shell, through a control of the alloyed nanoparticle compositions, or through a chemical doping. Nevertheless, it is still not clear whether the incorporation of a chemical dopant directly into the carbon shells systematically promotes the catalytic activities toward OER. To clarify this point, we synthetize trimetallic (CoNiFe) nanoparticles encapsulated in graphitic carbon shells by pyrolysis of metal−organic frameworks. We then investigate the effect of a doped graphitic carbon shell by incorporating non-metallic elements such as sulfur, phosphorus, and selenium. The main finding is that all doped CoNiFe@C core-shell catalysts exhibit an enhanced catalytic activity toward OER in the alkaline electrolyte with a low overpotential, a small Tafel slope, and long stability, which are all being comparable to those of RuO 2 benchmark. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic, and Raman measurements collected at different applied potentials during the OER process indicate that the doping of graphitic carbon shell significantly improves the interfacial electron-transfer kinetics and facilitates the adsorption of OH − ion as well as promotes the formation of metal oxyhydroxide, which positively affect the OER performances. Moreover, this improvement in OER efficiency upon incorporating of a chemical doping is rationalized by the optimization of the Gibbs free energy of OER intermediates, thereby remarkably reducing the required energy input of rate-determining step, as elucidated by the density functional theory calculations.

The aberrant vascularization and uneven vascular distribution stemming from rapid tumor cell proliferation culminate arouse intra-tumoral hypoxia, which substantially compromises the therapeutic response to conventional chemotherapy, as well as photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, we present an innovative α-NaYbF4:Tm@Cu2-xSe@ZnFe2O4-DOX nanoplatform that synergistically integrates PTT, Fenton reaction-enhanced chemodynamic therapy, PDT, and doxorubicin (DOX)-based chemotherapy under 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) light activation and weakly acidic environment-initiation. The 10 nm cubic-phase α-NaYbF4:Tm up-conversion cores were initially synthesized. Subsequently, low atomic number (Z) Cu2-xSe nanocrystal grown as photo-thermal conversion agent demonstrated significantly stronger X-radiation (X-ray) attenuation capabilities and enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging performance compared to clinically used iopromide. Furthermore, zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) shell was obtained in hydrothermal synthesis manner. The 980 nm NIR-excited α-NaYbF4:Tm nanoparticles undergo efficient energy down-conversion, emitting photons that perfectly match the absorption spectrum of ZnFe2O4, thereby maximizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation through bandgap-engineered photoconversion. The tumor's glycolytic activity creates a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-rich microenvironment, enabling ZnFe2O4-mediated Fenton-like reactions that produce hydroxyl radicals (•OH) radicals, ultimately triggering oxidative damage and apoptotic cell death. It is noted that dual-mode photothermal therapeutic efficacy was achieved by Cu2-xSe and ZnFe2O4 as photothermal nanocrystal with up-conversion luminescence (UCL), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT multimodal imaging. DOX as anticancer chemotherapeutics was conjugated to form α-NaYbF4:Tm@Cu2-xSe@ZnFe2O4-DOX nanoplatforms. It remains effectively release of large quantities of DOX at tumor part conferred response to excessive lactic and carbonic acids generated in cancer cells. Our research may provide an insight for generalizing enhanced synergetic performance by NIR light-mediated PTT, Fenton reaction, PDT and chemotherapy. It is not a simple assembly of known components, but rather a multi-functional synergistic system constructed through ingenious core-shell structural design, capable of responding to near-infrared light and the tumor microenvironment. For the first time, this system seamlessly integrates up-conversion luminescence-mediated PDT, dual photothermal agent-enhanced PTT, self-supplying H2O2 Fenton reactions, and acid/heat dual-responsive chemotherapy into a single nanoplatform. Additionally, it incorporates multimodal imaging capabilities, providing an innovative and comprehensive solution to overcome the clinical challenge of tumor hypoxia.

The cerium (Ce)-based UiO-66 metal-organic frameworks were employed for the first time as an effective catalyst for both oxidation and reduction. On one hand, selenium (Se)(VI) was efficiently photo-reduced to volatile species derived from the low lying of Ce 4f orbital and efficient generation of photo-electrons through the frameworks of UiO-66(Ce); on the other hand, the chromogenic substrate, 3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzydine (TMB), was oxidized based on the oxidase-like behavior of UiO-66(Ce) derived from the Ce 4+ /Ce 3+ spontaneous redox couple. The photo-reduced Se(VI) was determined by atomic fluorescence spectrometry , with a linear range of 5.0–200.0 μg/L − 1 , correlation coefficient of 0.998, and detection limit of 1.5 ng/mL − 1 obtained. The colorimetric sensing of mercury (Hg)(II) was accomplished based on the inhibition of TMB oxidation via Hg (II)-TMB interaction, with two linear ranges of 0.1–2.0 μM and 2.25–4.1 μM obtained, and a correlation coefficient of 0.993 and 0.995 obtained, respectively. The catalytic activity of UiO-66(Ce) was demonstrated to be satisfactory for both oxidation and reduction, which further explored the application of UiO-66(Ce) in the field of catalysis.

A series of quaternary chalcogenides, Na3ZnMIIIQ4 (MIII = In, Ga; Q = S, Se), were successfully synthesized for the first time through a high temperature solid-state reaction method. All of them exhibit similar structures and crystallize in the I41/acd space group of the tetragonal system. In their structures, typical super-tetrahedron (T2-type) clusters composed of four vertex-sharing (Zn/MIII)S4 tetrahedra are discovered and these T2-clusters further link together to form interesting wavelike chains. Adjacent T2 clusters present a torsion angle of 24.6° with each other when viewed along the c-axis, which has rarely been found among all the reported T2-containing chalcogenides. Moreover, we have systematically investigated the connection modes of NaSn (n = 4–6) in all the known Na-contained quaternary sulfides, and the result shows that the connection modes (corner-, edge-, and face-sharing) of NaS6 ligands in the title sulfides are also rarely (only 3%) found. Besides, the optical properties including diffuse-reflection and Raman spectra are systematically characterized. Theoretical calculations based on the first principles theory were also used to analyze their structure–performance relationships.

A general ionic-assisted microwave-ultrasonic combined synthetic strategy was developed to fabricate Bi 2 E 3 (E = S, Se, and Te) hierarchitectures. To understand the crystal phase transformation and morphological evolution of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchical nanostructures, the fabrication of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures was investigated by varying sulfidation time and chlorination time. A topotactic transformation from BiOCl microsphere to Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures was proposed. It was found that the structure, size, and morphology of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures could be delicately engineered by varying chlorination time, alkyl chain length, and concentration of ionic liquid. Moreover, the as-prepared Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures displayed superior capacity of Cr(VI) photoreduction to P25 and irregular Bi 2 S 3 nanostructures under visible light irradiation. Effects of morphology, pH value of reaction system, Cr(VI) concentration, and catalyst dosage on the Cr(VI) photoreduction capacity of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures were also discussed. The enhancement of photoreduction capacity is not only attributed to the intrinsic good electron transfer ability of Bi 2 S 3 , but also to synergetic effects of special architectures, wide photoresponse range, high light photoadsorption, high BET surface area and good electron-hole separation performance. The systematic condition experiments and Cr(VI) photoreduction in electroplating and tannery wastewater experiments further demonstrated that the hierarchical Bi 2 S 3 nanospheres can be used in the actual Cr(VI)-containing wastewater treatment.

A derivatisation-free HPLC–MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of selenium- and sulphur-containing amino acids in soybean leaves, and applied to a 3 × 3 factorial hydroponic experiment probing selenium–sulphur metabolic interactions. The method resolves five biologically informative analytes (Cys2, SeCys2, MeSeCys, Met, SeMet) within 1.5 min through multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of the free fraction was jointly optimised for both analyte classes by the response-surface methodology; enzymatic hydrolysis of the extraction residue recovered the protein-bound fraction on the same platform. Limits of detection ranged from 0.036 to 0.556 µg L−1, intra-day relative standard deviations were below 5%, and spike recoveries fell between 92.3 and 117.4%. Free SeAA and SAA pools were negatively correlated across the nine treatments (R2= 0.83), consistent with competitive Se–S assimilation, whereas bound pools were positively correlated (R2= 0.89), reflecting proportional protein-level incorporation. A regime of 1–5 mM of sulphate with 20 µM of selenite yielded the highest bound organo-Se with near-normal growth, providing leaf-level evidence that may inform future seed-focused studies aimed at Se-enriched soy-protein ingredient development.

Exploring excellent near infrared-II (NIR-II) emitting materials is desirable for the advancement of high quality bioimaging, in virtue of the lower scattering, deep penetration and high sensitive of biological components in the second optical transmission window. Colloidal Ag 2 X (X = S, Se) nanocrystals exhibit tunable NIR photoluminescence in the second NIR region. However, the lack of highly efficient broadband NIR emitting Ag 2 X (X = S, Se) nanocrystals limits their spectroscopy applications. Herein, cadmium (Cd) doped Ag 2 X (X = S, Se) nanocrystals were prepared through a facile hydrothermal method at room temperature . The NIR luminescence was efficiently enhanced through controllable doping a little amount of Cd ions into the Ag 2 X (X = S, Se) quantum dots (QDs). Simultaneously, the great broadening of NIR emission was achieved in the Cd doped Ag 2 Se QDs, and the maximum full width at half maximum could reach up to 530 nm. Following the general principles of photoluminescence light-emitting diode (LED) devices, the fabricated NIR mini LEDs) light sources based on Cd doped Ag 2 Se QDs exhibited broadband NIR electroluminescence and superior optoelectronic stability, and were successfully employed for clear vessel imaging. The works proves the feasibility of NIR mini LEDs in non-invasive bioimaging, and paves way for the miniaturized broadband NIR light sources.

In this study, we develop selenium (Se)-iron hydroxide (NiF–Se@Fe(OH) 2 ) hetero-nanostructured catalyst system for fuel cell, and environmental-relevant urea-electro-oxidation reaction. For the rational engineering, the Se layers are initially deposited on the Ni foam substrate; then we grow Fe(OH) 2 hetero-nanostructures with various morphologies by introducing different ratios of Fe precursor sample. The Fe(OH) 2 ball-like nanorods to rock-like nanosheets are synthesized on the Se layered Ni foam surface by a simple hydrothermal process. The microscopic characterizations, and spectral analysis reveal the formation of Se integrated Fe(OH) 2 hetero-nanostructures such as ball-like nanorods, sprouts-like nanowire network, nanoflowers and rock-like nanosheets through effective Ni–O bond and Fe–Se bond for its typical synergism. The Se induces an interesting morphology transformation from crystalline nanorods to rock-like nanosheets structures that lead to the potential constituents for catalyst electrode that effectively merge the qualities such as high conductivity, large specific surface area, and larger catalytic active sites for electro-oxidation reaction of urea. Among them, NiF–Se@Fe(OH) 2 (8 mmol Fe(NO 3 ) 2 ) sprouts-like hetero-nanostructured network displays higher catalytic activity toward oxidation of urea (146.7 mA) with onset potential of 0.11 V vs. Ag/AgCl in 1 M NaOH + 0.1 M urea. Furthermore, the sprouts-like NiF–Se@Fe(OH) 2 nanowired network shows superior activity than the other aspect ratio's, excellent long-term stability, and reproducibility.

Background Ischemic stroke still ranks as the most fatal disease worldwide. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a promising therapeutic target for protection. Brain microvascular endothelial cell is a core component of BBB, the barrier function maintenance of which can ameliorate ischemic injury and improve neurological deficit. Se-methyl L-selenocysteine (SeMC) has been shown to exert cardiovascular protection. However, the protection of SeMC against ischemic stroke remains to be elucidated. This research was designed to explore the protection of SeMC from the perspective of BBB protection. Methods To simulate cerebral ischemic injury, C57BL/6J mice were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R), and bEnd.3 was exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). After the intervention of SeMC, the barrier function and the expression of tight junction and ferroptosis-associated proteins were determined. For mechanism exploration, LY294002 (Akt inhibitor) was introduced both in vivo and in vitro. Results SeMC lessened the brain infarct volume and attenuated the leakage of BBB in mice. In vitro, SeMC improved cell viability and maintained the barrier function of bEnd.3 cells. The protection of SeMC was accompanied with ferroptosis inhibition and tight junction protein upregulation. Mechanism studies revealed that the effect of SeMC was reversed by LY294002, indicating that the protection of SeMC against ischemic stroke was mediated by the Akt signal pathway. Conclusion These results suggested that SeMC exerted protection against ischemic stroke, which might be attributed to activating the Akt/GSK3β signaling pathway and increasing the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and β-catenin, subsequently maintaining the integrity of BBB.
