A novel prodrug of pegylated methotrexate conjugates (PMCs) with a high drug-carrying capability and a redox sensitive drug release mechanism was reported for intracellular drug delivery. The PMC was structured in a H-shape with four molecules of anticancer drug methotrexate (MTX) linked to both ends of the PEG main chain via disulfide linkers, resulting in the conjugates with a high and constant drug loading efficiency of up to 26 wt%. The amphiphilic property of PMCs enables them to self-assemble into nanoparticles in aqueous solution, while the cleavable disulfide linkers allow the conjugated MTX to exert its therapeutic activity due to the fast cleavage of disulfide linkers when exposed to the intracellular concentration of glutathione (GSH). Cell proliferation assays performed with HepG2 cancer cells confirmed the pharmacological efficacy.

The introduction of oxygen vacancies (OVs) on the surface of photocatalysts has already been proven to be an effective way to extend the light response to visible light and trap charge carriers, thereby promoting the photocatalytic performance. In this study, h-BN/OV-BiOCl composites were prepared using hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) to further improve the visible-light photocatalytic activity of oxygen-vacancy-enriched bismuth oxychloride (OV-BiOCl). The composition and morphology of these materials were investigated, and the photocatalytic performance experiments showed that the introduction of h-BN could significantly improve the visible-light photocatalytic activity of OV-BiOCl, which was 1.7 and 1.4 times that of pure OV-BiOCl for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and bisphenol A (BPA) when the h-BN content was 5 wt%, respectively. The role of h-BN was comprehensively investigated, and the results revealed that the presence of negatively charged h-BN could improve the separation efficiency of photoinduced electrons (e−) and holes (h+) by promoting the migration of positively charged h+ to the surface of the photocatalyst, as expected. Moreover, the oxygen vacancies in OV-BiOCl were increased in the presence of h-BN; this favored the activation of more adsorbed O2 for the oxidation of pollutants. Finally, a probable mechanism was proposed for the improved photocatalytic activity of the h-BN/OV-BiOCl composites. This study provides an insight into the roles of h-BN in oxygen-vacancy-enriched photocatalysts.

pH-Sensitive H-type multiblock copolymers, namely, poly(methacrylic acid)2-block-epoxidized hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene-block-poly(methacrylic acid)2 (PMAA2-b-epoHTPB-b-PMAA2), were synthesized by atom-transfer radical polymerization and subsequent in situ epoxidation by peracetic acid and characterized by 1H NMR, FT-IR and SEC techniques. The impact of epoxidation on the physicochemical and biomedical properties of copolymer self-assembly micelle nanoparticles was investigated by fluorescence spectrometry, DLS, TEM and an MTT assay. The experimental results indicated that epoxidation resulted in the formation of more stable copolymer micelle nanoparticles with a lower critical micelle concentration, smaller micelle size, and higher loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency of drugs than those without epoxidation. In particular, epoxidized copolymer micelle nanoparticles exhibited reasonable pH sensitivity at a pH of 5.3–5.6. The hydrophobic anticancer drug paclitaxel (PTX) displayed faster release rates from epoxidized nanomicelles than from unepoxidized nanomicelles in a PBS solution of a pH of 4.8–6.6, whereas in PBS of a pH of 7.4 smaller amounts of PTX were released from epoxidized nanomicelles than from unepoxidized nanomicelles. Epoxidized copolymer nanomicelles were reasonably biodegradable after the drug was released, and their degradation rate was faster than that of their unepoxidized counterparts. An MTT assay was performed to determine the biocompatibility of epoxidized copolymer micelle nanoparticles and the anticancer activities of PTX-loaded nanomicelles, which were important for applications in the therapy of cancers as a controlled-release drug carrier.

In this study, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) - polyetherimide (PEI) composites were prepared by a simple solution casting method, where the h-BN particles were aligned by an external magnetic field. Prior to the preparation of the composite samples, the h-BN platelets were firstly decorated by iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 ) to achieve the desired magnetic properties . Due to the alignment of h-BN particles, the composite exhibited greatly enhanced thermal conductivity along that direction. At a filler loading of 20 wt%, an enhancement of 166% was obtained, compared to that of the unaligned composite. Furthermore, the composite samples showed a low dielectric loss (~ 0.01) with the filling ratio below 20 wt% and a tensile modulus of up to 2.34 GPa. Bearing such thermal conductivity , electrical insulation properties, and mechanical properties , these composites with magnetically aligned h-BN particles show potentials for microelectronic packaging applications.

Abstract A series of metal-modified hierarchical M/H-ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared for catalytic conversion of cellulose in an aqueous medium. Characterization of the catalysts showed that the impregnation of metal into H-ZSM-5 did not change the basic framework and pore structure of H-ZSM-5, but it decreased the total acidity. Analysis of the products indicated that the catalysts significantly affected products distribution. When Co/H-ZSM-5 and Fe/H-ZSM-5 were used as the catalysts, the yields of lactic acid and cyclic ketones obviously increased. At last, a recommendable catalytic transformation pathway of cellulose over M/H-ZSM-5 was proposed on the basis of the obtained experimental results and the published literatures. Graphical Abstract In this paper, a series of metal-modified hierarchical M/H-ZSM-5 (M = Ce, Co, Ga, and Fe) catalysts were prepared and employed in catalytic conversion of cellulose in aqueous media to examined the products distribution of cellulose catalytic conversion. Based on our results and previous works, the plausible general reaction pathways of cellulose over M/H-ZSM-5 were proposed.

Selective hydrogenolysis, the aromatic ether C-O bonds under mild conditions, is crucial for the valorization of lignin. In this context, the effects of H 2 and solvent on the hydrogenolysis of lignin model compounds over Ru catalysts were explored. With H 2 as hydrogen donor, the Ru/AC exhibited the highest activity for converting lignin model compounds into monomeric compounds, whereas H 2 led to low selectivity of aromatics. However, isopropanol was the good H-donor solvent, which could provide a large amount of active hydrogen to promote the cleavage of C-O bonds. Additionally, the yield of aromatics in isopropanol was higher than that under H 2 atmosphere. It could be ascribed to the fact that isopropanol is the protic solvent which displays Lewis basicity, and is a good H-bond donor and a good H-bond acceptor. The higher electron-releasing inductive effect of isopropanol made it easier to provide active hydrogen. Based on the experiments, the mechanism of benzyl phenyl ether hydrogenolysis in H 2 and isopropanol system was presented.

Effective and selective separation of technetium from acidic nuclear liquid waste is highly desirable for partitioning and transmutation but is of significant challenge. Highly efficient extraction of pertechnetate can be achieved by taking H-bonding and electrostatic interaction combined strategy. Base on this strategy, an amine–amide ligand NTAamide(n-Oct) was employed to extract TcO4– in HNO3 solution. Using n-dodecane as a diluent, NTAamide(n-Oct) demonstrated excellent extractability and good selectivity toward TcO4– with a rapid extraction equilibrium that could be reached in less than 1 min. Its maximal loading capacity for TcO4– was almost 100 times as much as that of traditional amine extractant Aliquat-336 nitrate. Meanwhile, TcO4– could be efficiently stripped from the loaded organic phase by (NH4)2CO3 solution. Slope analysis indicated the formation of a 1:1 complex of NTAamide(n-Oct) with TcO4–. The extraction conformed to the anion exchange extraction model, as confirmed by analyses of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, 1H NMR titration, FTIR, and ESI-MS.

Lithium extraction from the solution in low Li + concentration by an energy-saving and high-efficiency method is still a challenge. Herein, a novel hollow porous LiMn 2 O 4 (H-LMO) with highly active site was proposed to enhance the extraction performance of Li + . Based on the established hollow porous structure, the H-LMO film electrode (H-LMOE) exhibits excellent lithium electrosorption performance and stability. Under the current density of 0.5 C, the electrosorption capacity of Li + could reach 31.52 mg/g, the separation coefficient of Li + /Mg 2+ was 581.67, and the energy consumption was as low as 0.49 Wh/mol Li. This unique structural strengthening mechanism made H-LMOE maintain a good Li + extraction performance even in a solution of low Li + concentration. The Li + electrosorption capacity of H-LMOE was 2.13 times that of T-LMOE in a 60 mg/L Li + solution, while the specific energy consumption of the H-LMOE was 15.78% lower than that of the traditional-LiMn 2 O 4 film electrode (T-LMOE). Even in a 10 mg/L Li + solution, the electrosorption capacity of H-LMOE was 21.48 mg/g, which was 10.0% higher than that of T-LMOE. Moreover, after 50 recycling processes, the final electrosorption capacity of the H-LMOE was about 25.0% higher than that of the T-LMOE.

Firstly, h-CdS/c-CdS homojunction was prepared by solvothermal method with controlling the Cd-to-S molar ratio. Then, the MoS 2 /h-CdS/c-CdS nanocomposites were constructed by ultrasonic method with different MoS 2 amount. The experimental results showed that when the molar ratio of Cd and S was 1:1 and the amount of MoS 2 was 1.5 wt%, the MoS 2 /h-CdS/c-CdS nanocomposites exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution under visible light. The total amount of hydrogen evolution was 3753.12 µmol for 5 h, and its average hydrogen evolution rate was 40.79 mmol h −1 g −1 with an apparent quantum efficiency of 38.16% irradiated at 420 nm, which was about 7.3 times when compared with the h-CdS/c-CdS homojunction (Cd:S = 1:8). The enhanced photocatalytic performance of MoS 2 /h-CdS/c-CdS could be attributed to the improved specific surface area and formation of well bonded interface structure, which not only enhanced the response to visible light but also decreased the recombination rates of photogenerated charge carriers.

In this paper, cubic ZnSn(OH) 6 with MXene were firstly in-situ synthesized, and subsequently vulcanized and etched to obtain hollow SnS nanoboxes with MXene coating by carbon layer (referred to as H-SnS/MXene@C). The composition and surface chemical state of H-SnS/MXene@C were characterized by XRD and XPS , respectively. The microscopic morphology of H-SnS/MXene@C was analyzed and characterized in detail by SEM and TEM, and the results show that the hollow SnS nano-boxes formed an effective connection with the MXene nanosheets . When used as LIBs anode, the H-SnS/MXene@C maintained ∼707 mAh/g after 200 cycles at 0.5 A/g current density. As a NIBs anode material, the H-SnS/MXene@C delivered ∼402 mAh/g after 150 cycles at 0.5 A/g current density. In addition, a detail simulation/calculation revealed that H-SnS/MXene@C demonstrated a higher pseudocapacitance (83.2 % for LIBs and 74.4 % for NIBs at a scan rate of 2 mV/s, respectively). The synergistic effect of the highly conductive MXene and the three-dimensional hollow cubic structure could effectively provide an efficient channel for charge transfer and ionic diffusion in H-SnS/MXene@C anode.

Efficient regeneration of the coenzymes NADH and NADPH is crucial for sustaining biocatalytic processes, particularly in driving the biocatalysis reaction. In this study, the photocatalytic properties of alkali-doped graphitic carbon nitrates were explored to achieve efficient NAD(P)H regeneration. g-C 3 N 4 doped with potassium (KOH), sodium (NaOH), and calcium (Ca(OH) 2 ) was synthesized and characterized, showing significant enhancements in light absorption, charge separation, and photogenerated electron transport. Among the synthesized photocatalysts, KOH-doped g-C 3 N 4 (KCN) exhibited the best photocatalytic performance, regenerating 95 % NADH and 92 % NADPH within 30 min. This result compares favorably with those reported in previous studies. Based on this superior performance, K-0.2 was further applied to the in vitro CO 2 reduction to formate as a proof of concept. To clarify the mechanistic insights of the improved photocatalytic performance of KCN, the chemical model of g-C 3 N 4 and KCN was established, and DFT calculations were performed to reveal the electronic structure modifications responsible for the enhanced photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, to expand the light utilization capability of the system, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were incorporated into the system to utilize near-infrared light (980 nm), which successfully achieved NADH regeneration under near-infrared excitation and extended the light absorption range of the photocatalytic system. Overall, this study demonstrated that alkali-doped g-C 3 N 4 offered a highly efficient platform for NAD(P)H regeneration, and the integration of UCNPs further enriched the coenzyme regeneration scenario, suggesting a promising strategy for advancing sustainable coenzyme regeneration technologies.

Background/Objectives: Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among women, and paclitaxel (PTX) is a first-line chemotherapeutic, but chemoresistance driven by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters limits its efficacy. Single-target ABC inhibitors fail due to toxicity and cooperative transporter activity, creating an urgent need for safe multi-target strategies. Membrane cholesterol-rich lipid rafts support ABC transporter function, making cholesterol a key chemoresistance target. This study explored a cholesterol-targeted approach for overcoming PTX resistance.Methods: A PTX-resistant breast cancer line (MCF-7/PTX) showing ABCB1/ABCC3 co-upregulation and enriched cholesterol rafts was established. The effects of Polyphyllin H (PPH), a steroidal saponin fromParis polyphylla, were compared with lovastatin, a biosynthetic cholesterol inhibitor. In vitro and in vivo assays investigated Polyphyllin H’s cholesterol binding and effects on transporters, PTX accumulation, and tumor growth.Results: PPH directly binds membrane cholesterol, disrupting lipid rafts, downregulating ABCB1/ABCC3, reducing drug efflux, and increasing intracellular PTX to restore sensitivity. PPH showed superior cholesterol-binding and resistance-reversal efficacy than lovastatin, with faster, stronger PTX-enhanced cytotoxicity and tumor suppression.Conclusions: PPH reverses PTX resistance by targeting cholesterol-lipid rafts to inhibit multiple ABC transporters. This offers a safer adjuvant for PTX-based breast cancer therapy and a translational framework for other drug-resistant malignancies.
