ABSTRACT Developing a multi-functional radiosensitizer with high efficiency and low toxicity remains challenging. Herein, we report a mesoporous heterostructure radiosensitizer ( [email protected] ) containing Lu-based upconversion nanophosphor (UCNP) and Bi-based nanomaterial loaded with iron phthalocyanine for X-ray and NIR light dual-triggered tri-modal tumor therapy. NaLuF 4 :Yb,Tm, a Lu-based UCNP, offers radiosensitization and upconversion luminescence for optical bio-imaging. However, Bi has a higher X-ray mass attenuation coefficient than Lu . Thus, after stepwise fabrication, Na 0.2 Bi 0.8 O 0.35 F 1.91 :Yb (NBOF) was assembled with the UCNP to form a mesoporous heterostructure composite. This enhanced the radiosensitization effect and drug load to realize multi-modal tumor therapy. After coating it with folate-conjugated amphiphilic PEG (PFA), [email protected] realized tumor photothermal/photodynamic/radio-therapy. The structure of [email protected] was well characterized. Different properties triggered by X-ray and NIR light were evaluated. Finally, a highly efficient tumor ablation effect was demonstrated in vitro and in vivo . Consequently, this kind of nanocomposite provides a unique strategy for designing a theranostic platform for oncotherapy. Statement of Significance The synergy of enhanced radiotherapy and photothermal/photodynamic therapy is found to improve tumor therapeutic efficacy. On that basis, a heterostructure nanohybrid containing Lu-based UCNP and Bi-based mesoporous material is synthesized. The heterostructure nanohybrid can be loaded with FePc and decorated with folate-modified amphiphilic PEG to form a multi-functional theranostic nano-platform. The platform exhibits upconversion luminescence capacity, X-ray attenuation property, photothermal effect, and X-ray and NIR dual-light triggered ROS generation capability. These features can not only enable upconversion luminescence/CT bioimaging of living beings but also be applied to the photothermal/photodynamic/radio- synergistic tumor ablation. To sum up, the nanomaterial offers a novel method for the construction of a new theranostic platform.

Nitrogen-doped carbon materials have attracted enormous interest in catalysis owing to their outstanding catalytic performance. In this work, nitrogen-doped carbonaceous catalysts (NCC) supported on inexpensive and naturally abundant halloysite nanotubes were successfully synthesized via precipitation polymerization, calcination, and sulfonation processes. The physical and chemical properties of the obtained catalysts were systematically characterized by different methods. The results indicated that NCC catalysts had mesoporous structures, excellent thermostability and acid-base bi-functional active sites. One-pot synthesis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from glucose was performed to investigate the synthesized NCC catalysts. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of the acid-base bi-functional active sites, the highest HMF yield (62.8%) was achieved in an isopropanol-mediated DMSO system under optimal conditions. Moderate to excellent yields of HMF were also obtained from one-pot conversions of other carbohydrates, including inulin, sucrose, cellobiose, maltose and starch, with our developed catalytic system. The one-pot production of HMF from cellulose was also smoothly processed by the NCC bi-functional catalyst in an IL-based system. This work has developed a versatile strategy for designing nitrogen-doped carbonaceous catalysts that can be employed for the direct transformation of renewable carbohydrates to platform chemicals.

A scaffold, constructed from a bi-layer silk fibroin skeleton (BSFS) and a bladder acellular matrix hydrogel (BAMH) encapsulated with adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), was developed for bladder augmentation in a rat model. The BSFS, prepared from silk fibroin (SF), had good mechanical properties that allowed it to maintain the scaffold shape and be used for stitching. The prepared BAM was digested by pepsin and the pH was adjusted to harvest the BAMH that provided an extracellular environment for the ASCs. The constructed BSFS–BAMH–ASCs and BSFS–BAMH scaffolds were wrapped in the omentum to promote neovascularization and then used for bladder augmentation; at the same time, a cystotomy was used as the condition for the control group. Histological staining and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed that the omentum incubation could promote scaffold vascularization. Hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome staining indicated that the BSFS–BAMH–ASCs scaffold regenerated the bladder wall structure. In addition, immunofluorescence analyses confirmed that the ASCs could promote the regeneration of smooth muscle, neurons and blood vessels and the restoration of physiological function. These results demonstrated that the BSFS–BAMH–ASCs may be a promising scaffold for promoting bladder wall regeneration and the restoration of physiological function of the bladder in a rat bladder augmentation model.

Electrocatalytic water splitting in acidic media is a promising strategy for grid scale production of hydrogen using renewable energy, but challenges still exist in the development of advanced catalysts with both high activity and stability. Herein, it is reported that iridium doped tungsten trioxide (Ir-doped WO 3 ) with arrayed structure and confined Ir sites is an efficient and durable bi-functional catalyst for overall acidic water splitting. A low overpotential (258 mV) is required to achieve an oxygen evolution reaction current density of 10 mA cm −2 in 0.5 m H 2 SO 4 solution. Meanwhile, Ir-doped WO 3 processes a similar intrinsic activity to Pt/C toward hydrogen evolution reaction. Overall water splitting using the bi-functional Ir-doped WO 3 catalyst shows low cell voltages of 1.56 and 1.68 V to drive the current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm −2 , respectively, with only 16 mV decay observed after 60 h continuous electrolysis under the current density of 100 mA cm −2 . Structural analysis and density functional theory calculation indicate that the adjusted coordination environment of Ir within the crystalline matrix of WO 3 contributes to the high activity and durability.

Seeking of novel materials with special wettability is highly demanded for efficient separation of emulsified mixtures. In this study, carbonized melamine foam modified with cobalt hydroxide nanosheets was fabricated by a two-step route consisting of thermal pyrolysis and controlled chemical precipitation . The developed material exhibited a superamphiphilicity in air, and a controlled superoleophobic or superhydrophobic performance in various liquid conditions. By utilizing these properties, the composite foam was used as a bi-functional material to separate various oil-water emulsions. The results demonstrated that the developed material, solely using gravity without external stimulus, had the capability to separate not only the surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions with a high separation flux, but also the water-in-oil ones with remarkable oil purity. The facile method for the material preparation, high separation merit and excellent anti-fouling property of material provided a new candidate for the separation of emulsion systems.

A simple wet-explosion method was employed to synthesize the Ni–Bi–P composite microspheres. The hollow structure was obtained possibly due to the violent evolution of gas bubbles when the reaction reagents were mixed. The hollow microspheres of Ni–Bi–P exhibited outstanding high catalytic activity for the reduction of p -nitrophenol ( p -NP) to form p -aminophenol in the presence of NaBH 4 within only 1 s. Due to the space limitation, the hollow structure of Ni–Bi–P microspheres helps to accommodate and confine the molecules of NaBH 4 and p -NP within the small space where NaBH 4 and p -NP contact closely at Ni–Bi–P catalysts. The synergetic action of Ni, Bi and P elements also contributes the enhanced catalytic activity.

Abstract This paper aims to develop a multi-colored electrochromic device based on mixed mono- and bi-substituted 4,4′-bipyridine derivatives containing an ester group. A series of these derivatives were synthesized, and their electrochemical and electrochromic properties were studied through cyclic voltammetry and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. The mono- and bi-substituted 4,4′-bipyridine derivatives containing an ester group displayed different onset bias and colored state. Mono-substituted 4,4′-bipyridine derivatives showed a magenta colored state at an onset bias of − 1.3 V; bi-substituted 4,4′-bipyridine derivatives showed violet colored states at an onset bias of − 0.8 V. A multi-colored electrochromic device was achieved by mixing mono- and bi-substituted 4,4′-bipyridine derivatives as the electrochromic layer. Graphical Abstract

Investigation of Bi-doping effects on the catalytic performance of Pt/3DOM-Ce 1−x Bi x O 2−δ in the aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural allows us to reveal the promoted catalytically active sites: the asymmetrical oxygen vacancies coordinated with one Bi and up to three Ce cations, such as Bi-□(-Ce) 3 , where □ represents an oxygen vacancy, which can easily gain oxygen atoms in favor of the CeO 2 structure, and, when filled with oxygen, easily release oxygen anions in favor of six-coordination for Bi 3+ . The loss of electrons in the reduction of oxygen atoms at these sites would be replenished by electron transfer from Pt nanoparticles , eventually promoting the oxidation potential of the Pt nanoparticles. The present work points out that the promoted catalytic properties in Bi-doped CeO 2 are mainly due to the asymmetric structures of the oxygen vacancies, rather than simply to the number of oxygen vacancies. The newly proposed model of asymmetrical active sites and electron transfer mechanism may shed light on the physicochemical properties of other solid solution substrate-supported metal nanoparticle catalysts.

Treatment of chronic wounds, such as diabetic feet, pressure sores and skin ulcer, has been a difficult issue for wound dressings. It is of great interest but challenging to develop an ideal dressing for chronic wounds with long-term functionality, transparency for clinical observation and adaptability to skin deformation. In this work, we designed a supramolecular polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer material with double layer structure. After a series characterizations including mechanical properties , adhesion properties, water-vapor permeability and bio-compatibility, this bi-layer film (BLF) is evaluated as a wound dressing in the wound healing model in both normal and diabetic rat. The results show that the BLF dressing has good bio-compatibility, similar moisture permeability and adhesion properties compared with a commercial medical Tegaderm™ film. Moreover, benefiting from the comparatively lower modulus, the BLF dressing provides more stable attachment to the skin and an enclosed moist healing environment for the wounds, which is found to promote the healing process in the early stage.

A novel ionic bi-functional ligand of L2 containing a phosphine and a Lewis acidic phosphonium with I− as the counter-anion was prepared and fully characterized. The molecular structure indicated that the bi-functionalities in L2 were well retained without the incompatibility problem for quenching of the acidity of the phosphonium cation by the Lewis basic phosphine fragment or the anionic I− when the incorporated phosphine fragment and the Lewis acidic phosphonium were strictly located in the confined cis-positions. The co-catalysis over L2–Rh(acac)(CO)2 in the ways of synergetic catalysis and sequential catalysis was successfully fulfilled for one-pot hydroformylation–acetalization, which proved not to be the result of the simple mixture of the mono-phosphine (L4) and the phosphonium salt (L4′). In L2, the phosphonium not only acted as a Lewis acid organocatalyst to drive the sequential acetalization of aldehydes, but also contributed to the synergetic catalysis for the preceding hydroformylation through stabilizing the Rh-acyl intermediate with the phosphine cooperatively. The L2-Rh(acac)(CO)2 system is also generally applied to hydroformylation–acetalization of a wide range of olefins in different alcohols. Advantageously, as an ionic phosphonium-based ligand, L2 could be recycled for 7 runs with Rh(acac)(CO)2 together in RTIL of [Bmim]BF4 without obvious activity loss or metal leaching.

We develop a facile layer-by-layer deposition process to create bi-functional Fe3O4@SiO2@Gd2O3:Yb,Er nanostructures composed of magnetic Fe3O4 cores, variable SiO2 mid-layers, and up-converting Gd2O3 shells. The synthetic process is well-controlled and the obtained Fe3O4@SiO2@Gd2O3:Yb,Er nanoparticles show relative monodispersity and exhibit tunable magnetic and up-conversion luminescence depending on the thickness of SiO2 mid-layers. The influences of SiO2 mid-buffer-layers on morphology, magnetism, and up-conversion luminescence are well addressed. The obtained bi-functional Fe3O4@SiO2@Gd2O3:Yb,Er nanoparticles may be potentially applicable in magnetic, fluorescent, and biological applications. The synthetic route may be employed for fabricating other multifunctional nanostructures.

The (1- x )Bi 1+ y (Fe 0.96 Mg 0.02 Ti 0.02 )O 3 - x BaTiO 3 (abbreviated as B 1+ y FMT- x BT) system was designed to explore the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) separating rhombohedral ( R ) and tetragonal ( T ) phases, and the mechanism of performance enhancement. The phase structure of samples was discreetly investigated by X-ray diffraction, and Rietveld refinement results of the XRD data revealed that the B 1+ y FMT- x BT ceramics consist of an R phase at x = 0.24, two R and T phases at 0.26 ≤ x ≤ 0.32, and a single T phase at x = 0.34. Because of the MPB and the improvement of resistivity with adding excess Bi compensation, excellent piezoelectric properties of d 33 = 198 pC/N and k p = 30.9%, as well as high Curie temperature T C = 497 °C were achieved in the B 1+ y FMT- x BT system at x = 0.30 and y = 0.02. Here, the large d 33 = 198 pC/N which is the maximum value for the BF-BT-Bi(Mg,Ti)O 3 system so far, and high T C = 497 °C suggest that Bi(Fe,Mg,Ti)O 3 -BaTiO 3 ceramics have good prospects in high-temperature piezoelectric devices.
