The efficacy of cancer therapy with reactive oxygen species (ROS) as the main therapeutic medium suffers from a deficiency of oxy-substrates, for example, insufficient endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and inherent hypoxia in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Herein, a smart polyethylene glycol (PEG)-ylated nanosystem CaO 2 @ZIF-Fe/Ce6@PEG (abbreviation as CaZFCP) is constructed to achieve H 2 O 2 /O 2 self-supply and Ca 2+ overloading in tumor cells simultaneously for enhanced CDT/PDT. Under the weakly acidic tumor microenvironment, the activity components inside CaZFCP, that is, CaO 2 nanoparticles, Fe 2+ , and photosensitizer Chlorin e6 (Ce6) are released by the degradation of zeolitic imidazole framework-90 (ZIF-90). Thereinto, CaO 2 nanoparticles are further decomposed to generate H 2 O 2 and O 2 , which alleviates both the insufficient endogenous H 2 O 2 and hypoxia in tumor area, thus enhancing the efficiency of CDT and PDT by producing more hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen. Furthermore, Ca 2+ overloading induced by the decomposition of CaO 2 is available for amplifying intracellular oxidative stress, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction, which further improves the efficacy of combined CDT/PDT. In vitro and in vivo experimental results confirm excellent tumor inhibition effect, which also provides a facile paradigm in ROS-involved cancer therapies.

In this work, we developed a low-temperature and efficient approach for the highly selective preparation of valuable p -nitrochlorobenzene from the liquid-phase catalytic nitration of chlorobenzene with NO 2 in O 2 -Ac 2 O-Hβ composite system. The results demonstrated that the introduction of molecular oxygen remarkably enhanced the chlorobenzene conversion and the cooperation catalysis of Hβ zeolite and Ac 2 O envidently improved the selectivity to para -nitro product. Under the optimized reaction conditions, 93.6 % of the selectivity to p -nitrochlorobenzene with 84.0 % of chlorobenzene conversion was obtained, and the ratio of p -nitrochlorobenzene to o -nitrochlorobenzene could reach up to 20.3. Furthermore, the selectivity distribution of nitration products was reasonably explained by the density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Finally, the possible nitration reaction pathway of chlorobenzene with NO 2 was suggested in O 2 -Ac 2 O-Hβ composite catalytic system. The present work affords a new and mild nitration approach for highly selective preparation of valuable para -nitro products, and has potential industrial application prospects.

Cancer starvation/photothermal combined tumor therapy (CST/PTT) has attracted great interest attributed to their mutual compensation and synergistically enhanced effect. However, the very low O2 supply in the tumor microenvironment (TME) greatly limits the CST efficiency of glucose oxidase (GOx). Additionally, the easy degradation in blood circulation and significant off-target effects are big challenges for clinical applications of the GOx-based CST. In this study, a drug delivery system (DDS) with specific tumor-targeted GOx delivery, near-infrared (NIR) light and TME responsive O2 generation, NIR-responsive glucose consumption, high GOx loading, and efficient NIR photothermia was developed. Positively charged AuNRs@MnO2@SiO2 nanoparticles (named AMS+ NPs) were synthesized. GOx was covalently loaded with a high loading ratio of 36.0%. Finally, a thermosensitive biomimetic hybrid membrane composed of a thermosensitive lipid (TSL) membrane, red blood cell membrane (RBCM), and 4T1 cancer cell membrane (CCM) was coated on the NPs through a double-layer strategy. The AMS+-G@TSL@[RBC-CC-TSL]M NPs consumed 32.7 times glucose at 50 °C as that at 37 °C and generated 4.9 times O2 upon NIR laser irradiation. The thermosensitive biomimetic NPs showed an efficient targeting capability to the homotypic 4T1 cancer cells/tumors accompanied by good biocompatibility, macrophage evading capability, high cancer cell cytotoxicity, and excellent antitumor efficacy. The tumor growth inhibition ratio with NIR laser irradiation reached 92.8%. The AMS+-GOx@TSL@[RBC-CC-TSL]M NPs provide a smart, efficient, safe, PTT/CST combined DDS for highly efficient tumor therapy.

In this study, a novel reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) made of Pd-loaded porous Ti was prepared to achieve ultrafast and efficient oxidation of trace antibiotics sulfamethoxazole (SMX) under anodic polarization. At a current density of 0.5 mA/cm 2 , the percentage removal of SMX by the REM was 96.3% in flow-through mode, with the energy cost ( i.e. , the electrical energy per order of removal, 1.34 Wh/m 3 ) being much lower than the flow-by mode (125.76 Wh/m 3 ) under the same operating condition. Quenching experiments and electron spin resonance spectra demonstrated that singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) was the main reactive oxygen species in the REM system, playing a vital role in SMX degradation. Results of this study indicated that 1 O 2 was mainly generated on the anode via Pd–O 2 interaction that directly activated oxygen, rather than the evolution of 1 O 2 precursors ( e.g ., O 2 − and H 2 O 2 ). The constantly high electrochemical removal of SMX (88.5–91.9%) from actual surface water demonstrated that the matrix effect on the process performance was minimal in realistic applications, highlighting this novel REM to be a viable way to remove trace organic contaminants from surface water.

Combining the internal force-driven chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and the external energy-triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT) holds great promise to achieve an advanced anticancer effect based on reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the insufficient oxy-substrates supply in tumor microenvironment, like hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and oxygen (O 2 ), is the Achilles heel that greatly restricts the efficacy of this ROS-based treatment. Herein, the construction of a c opper p e roxide-based tumor pH-re s ponsive a utocatalytic nano r eactor (CESAR), via an albumin-mediated biomimetic mineralization strategy is described. The decoration of human serum albumin endows the nanoreactor good hydrophilicity and biocompatibility, which is highly desired for the metal-based materials. Upon exposure to acidic tumor microenvironment, CESAR presents a pH-triggered disintegration with Cu 2+ , H 2 O 2 and O 2 generated instantly. The generated H 2 O 2 complements the hyperoxide deficiency and initiates a localized Fenton-like reaction with the assistance of Cu 2+ for highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) production for improving CDT. The evolved O 2 gas enables hypoxia relief for enhanced Ce6-mediated PDT. This H 2 O 2 /O 2 self-supplying strategy significantly amplifies the tumor oxidative damage and gains an optimal treatment outcome, which offers a new paradigm for optimizing the tumor therapeutic options limited by oxide or hyperoxide deficiency, not only for CDT/PDT, but also other oxy-substrates involved strategies. Statement of significance The shortage of oxy-substrates in the tumor microenvironment remains a great challenge for ROS-based cancer therapy. Herein, we introduce human serum albumin as a scaffold to stabilize copper peroxide nanomaterials for constant production of H 2 O 2 and O 2 to enhance chemodynamic/photodynamic therapy. The tumor pH-triggered H 2 O 2 /O 2 production and Cu 2+ release are confirmed, assuring the strategy of a highly precise, effective way to destroy tumor without any side effects. This work lends new and exciting insights into the engineering design of autocatalytic oxy-substrates self-supply nanoreactor for overcoming the bottlenecks, like the oxy-substrates deficiency of CDT/PDT and the poor stability of metal peroxides, to achieve highly effective chemodynamic/photodynamic therapy.

Lithium–oxygen (Li–O 2 ) batteries have received extensive attention owing to ultrahigh theoretical energy density. Compared to typical discharge product Li 2 O 2 , LiOH has attracted much attention for its better chemical and electrochemical stability. Large-scale applications of Li–O 2 batteries with LiOH chemistry are hampered by the serious internal shuttling of the water additives with the desired 4e − electrochemical reactions. Here, a metal organic framework-derived “water-trapping” single-atom-Co-N 4 /graphene catalyst (Co-SA-rGO) is provided that successfully mitigates the water shuttling and enables the direct 4e − catalytic reaction of LiOH in the aprotic Li–O 2 battery. The Co-N 4 center is more active toward proton-coupled electron transfer, benefiting - direction 4e − formation of LiOH. 3D interlinked networks also provide large surface area and mesoporous structures to trap ≈12 wt% H 2 O molecules and offer rapid tunnels for O 2 diffusion and Li + transportation. With these unique features, the Co-SA-rGO based Li–O 2 battery delivers a high discharge platform of 2.83 V and a large discharge capacity of 12 760.8 mAh g −1 . Also, the battery can withstand corrosion in the air and maintain a stable discharge platform for 220 cycles. This work points out the direction of enhanced electron/proton transfer for the single-atom catalyst design in Li–O 2 batteries.

Reduced drug uptake and elevated drug efflux are two major mechanisms in cancer multidrug resistance (MDR). In the present study, a new multistage O 2 -producing liposome with NAG/R8-dual-ligand and stimuli-responsive dePEGylation was developed to address the abovementioned issues simultaneously. The designed C-NAG-R8-PTXL/MnO 2 -lip could also achieve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided synergistic chemodynamic/chemotherapy (CDT/CT). In vitro and in vivo studies showed that C-NAG-R8-PTXL/MnO 2 -lip enhanced circulation time by PEG and targeted the tumor site. After tumor accumulation, endogenous l -cysteine was administered, and the PEG-attached disulfide bond was broken, resulting in the dissociation of PEG shells. The previously hidden positively charged R8 by different lengths of PEG chains was exposed and mediated efficient internalization. In addition, the oxygen (O 2 ) generated by C-NAG-R8-PTXL/MnO 2 -lip relieved the hypoxic environment within the tumor, thus reducing the efflux of chemotherapeutic drug. O 2 was able to burst liposomes and triggered the release of PTXL . The toxic hydroxyl radical (·OH), which was produced by H 2 O 2 and Mn 2+ , strengthened CDT/CT. C-NAG-R8-PTXL/MnO 2 -lip was also used as MRI contrast agent , which blazed the trail to rationally design theranostic agents for tumor imaging.

Hypoxia and overexpression of glutathione (GSH) are typical characteristics of the tumor microenvironment, which severely hinders cancer treatments. Here, we design a novel biodegradable therapeutic system, O2–Cu/ZIF-8@Ce6/ZIF-8@F127 (OCZCF), to simultaneously achieve GSH depletion and O2-enhanced combination therapy. Notably, the doped Cu2+ doubles the O2 storage capacity of the ZIF-8 matrix, which makes OCZCF an excellent pH-sensitive O2 reservoir for conquering tumor hypoxia, enhancing the photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficiency of chlorin e6 (Ce6) under 650 nm laser irradiation. Moreover, the released Cu2+ can act as a smart reactive oxygen species protector by consuming intracellular GSH. The byproduct Cu+ will undergo highly efficient Fenton-like reaction to achieve chemodynamic therapy (CDT) in the presence of abundant H2O2. The accompanying O2 will further alleviate hypoxia. The in vitro and in vivo experimental data indicate that OCZCF could cause remarkable tumor inhibition through enhanced synergetic PDT and CDT, which may open up a new path for cancer therapy.

Oxidative desulfurization (ODS) is the promising new method for super deep desulfurization of fuel oil. The oxidative desulfurization performance of the metal-N4-chelates metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) is related to the chemical properties of conjugate structures and the central metal ions. Herein, a biomimetic catalytic system composed of metallophthalocyanines (MPcR4, M = Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II); R = -H, -COOH, -NO2, -NH2) and molecular O2was performed to study the influence of MN4-type coordination structure in metallophthalocyanines for the degradation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) in model oil containing n-octane. The results reveal that the conjugate structures and the center metal ions of metallophthalocyanines played key roles in oxidative desulfurization performance. The inductive effect of different R substituents strongly affected the electron cloud distribution of the conjugate structures and the catalytic performance. Moreover, the catalytic activity of MPcs, which is related to the d electronic configuration and ligand-field effects, does not sequentially increase with the increase in the d electron number of central metal ions.Keywords:metallophthalocyanine;MN4-type coordination structure;desulfurization;O2

Supported Cu single-atom (Cu-SA) catalysts have exhibited unique activity and selectivity in CO 2 reduction, but they generally suffer from the easy transformation of active Cu δ+ into inactive Cu 0 . Herein, porous TiO 2 supported Cu single atoms (Cu-SAs/TiO 2 ) photocatalyst was fabricated and dioxygen (O 2 ) enhanced photocatalytic CO 2 reduction performance of Cu-SAs/TiO 2 was investigated by in-situ characterizations and theoretical calculations. The results showed that both activity and stability of Cu-SAs/TiO 2 photocatalyst could be improved by feeding a small amount of O 2 (117.6 ppm) in the reaction system. The competitive electron transfer to O 2 on Cu-SAs/TiO 2 maintained dynamic stability of Cu δ+ active sites, and O 2 -derived *OOH species lowered the formation energy barrier of key intermediate *COOH as well as delivered *H species for accelerating intermediates protonation process. Total yield rate of CH 4 and CO reached 34.64 μmol·g cat ·h −1 for CO 2 photoreduction over Cu-SAs/TiO 2 after introducing 117.6 ppm O 2 , accompanied by enhanced durability.

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ), widely used in industries, poses a significant threat as the strongest greenhouse gas. Current methods for degrading SF 6 are hindered by high energy consumption and costs, thus there is an urgent need for a low-cost, convenient, and efficient solution. In response, we established a gas-liquid-solid three-phase (GLS) system for efficient photocatalytic SF 6 degradation by Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 , whose efficiency was approximately 20 times that of traditional gas-solid systems. Further, possible degradation mechanisms were demonstrated through the detection of material changes in three phases, respectively. Detailed studies revealed Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 can in-situ form Bi 2 S 3 heterojunction during the reaction, facilitating carrier separation. Besides, O 2 can transform to ·O 2 − and accelerate the photodegradation process. This approach offered a novel toolbox for SF 6 degradation. We predict this method will have a wider range of applications in the field of solar-powered catalytic degradation of extremely stable fluorinated pollutants at lower costs in the future.
