The antibiotic florfenicol (FF) discharged into the aquatic environment may cause serious water pollution. Therefore, an effective way to eliminate FF antibiotics from the water bodies should be proposed. Herein, MIL-53(Al)-supported nano zero-valent iron (NZVI@MIL-53(Al)) was synthesized and applied to activate hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) to spark the Fenton reaction for FF antibiotics removal. The characterization results demonstrated the successful loading and good dispersion of NZVI onto MIL-53(Al). 100 % FF antibiotics degradation could be achieved under the optimal reaction conditions, including an initial FF antibiotics concentration of 20 mg L −1 , initial solution pH of 3.0, NZVI@MIL-53(Al) dose of 25 mg L −1 , and H 2 O 2 concentration of 0.2 mM. And after four cycles, the FF antibiotic degradation efficiency was still 81.18 %. The lowest tolerance for HCO 3 − was observed while the degradation activity was maintained at the presence of Cl − and HA. EPR measurement and free radical quenching experiment showed that ·OH was the main reactive specie in the NZVI@MIL-53(Al)/H 2 O 2 system. FF antibiotics degradation involved hydroxylation reactions (electrophilic substitution), dehalogenation, hydrolysis, and cleavage based on the UPLC-MS/MS analysis and DFT calculation. Noteworthy, 0.247 mg L −1 of F − and 1.2 mg L −1 of Cl − were detected in the solution after the reaction due to the breakage of the stable C–Cl bond and C–F bond. Finally, this work revealed that the NZVI@MIL-53(Al), with high stability and recyclability, could be a potential heterogeneous catalyst for treating antibiotic wastewater.

In this strategy, a magnetic fluid of the Fe3O4 nanomicelles was synthesized with amphiphilic PEGylated phospholipid as surfactant and soybean oil as stabilizer under simple mechanical stirring and subsequent ultrasonication. Transmission electron microscope (TEM)
measurement indicated that the sample is monodisperse spherical Fe3O4 nanoparticles with internal core size of 9 nm and external nanomicelle shell thickness of 1.5 nm. The final hydrodynamic size of the sample is 19.5 nm and its zeta potential is −38.5 mV, suggesting
good stability of the magnetic nanomicelles in water. To assess the ability of magnetic nanomicelles to escape reticuloendothelial system (RES) uptake, in vitro cell phagocytosis experiments were conducted using murine macrophages (RAW264.7). The results indicated that the PEGylation
can effectively prevent the uptake of the nanomicelles by the macrophages. Using a mouse model of 4T1 breast cancer, the nanomicelles provided a good magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capability to sensitively detect tumor by enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. The PEGylated monodisperse
magnetic nanomicelles would become a potential contrast agent for passive targeting diagnosis of tumor by MR imaging.

Laser glass has been widely used in laser ignition devices, fundamental physical research, and material processing. In addition to the exploration of the glass composition, the optimization of preparation conditions is also of crucial importance to the performance of laser glass. Herein, the modification effect of additional fluorine and sulfur agents on Nd 3+ -doped fluoro-sulfo-phosphate glasses (FSP) has been investigated in detail. The contents of F and S were increased by up to 42% and 40% after agent addition. Fluorine and sulfur agents also decrease the non-linear effect and increase the chemical durability of FSP glasses, respectively. Moreover, the local environment around Nd 3+ ions is examined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)., The direct connection between Nd-F and the possible connection between Nd 3+ and [SO 4 ] 2− have been detected with agent addition, which facilitate the promotion of radiation parameters. The emission cross-section and quantum efficiency of FSP glass increase by up to 56% and 54% after agent addition. This study aims to demonstrate the structure and property variations brought by additional agents, providing insight into the optimization of the melting procedure of high-performance FSP laser glasses.

The drug resistance in cancer treatment with DOX is mainly related to the overexpression of drug efflux proteins, residing in the plasma and nuclear membranes. Delivering DOX into the mitochondria, lacking drug efflux proteins, is an interesting method to overcome DOX resistance. To solve the problem of positively charged triphenylphosphonium (TPP) for mitochondrial targeting in vivo , a charge reversal strategy was developed. Methods: An acidity triggered cleavable polyanion PEI-DMMA (PD) was coated on the surface of positively charged lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticle (DOX-PLGA/CPT) to form DOX-PLGA/CPT/PD via electrostatic interaction. The mitochondrial localization and anticancer efficacy of DOX-PLGA/CPT/PD was evaluated both in vitro and in vivo . Results: The surface negative charge of DOX-PLGA/CPT/PD prevents from rapid clearance in the blood and improved the accumulation in tumor tissue through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. The hydrolysis of amide bonds in PD in weakly acidic tumor tissue leads to the conversion of DOX-PLGA/CPT/PD to DOX-PLGA/CPT. The positive charge of DOX-PLGA/CPT enhances the interaction with tumor cells, promotes the uptake and improves DOX contents in tumor cells. Once endocytosed by tumor cells, the exposed TPP in nanomedicine results in effective mitochondrial localization of DOX-PLGA/CPT. Afterward, DOX can release from the nanomedicine in the mitochondria, target mtDNA, induce tumor cells apoptosis and overcome DOX resistance of MCF-7/ADR breast cancer. Conclusion: Tumor acidity triggered charge reversal of TPP-containing nanomedicine and activation of mitochondrial targeting is a simple and effective strategy for the delivery of DOX into the mitochondria of cancer cells and overcoming DOX resistance of MCF-7/ADR tumor both in vitro and in vivo , providing new insight in the design of nanomedicines for cancer chemotherapy.

Developing low-cost and efficient metal-free carbon-based catalysts is of great importance but remains a challenge. In this work, rice straw derived biochar was prepared and doped with heteroatoms (N and S) for the catalytic degradation of metolachlor (MET) through activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Adsorption process played a critical role for the subsequent degradation process. Surface ketone C (-C = O) was the catalytic active sites for the PMS decomposition. Interestingly, N-doping positively whilst S-doping negatively influenced the MET degradation process. Through experimental investigation and theoretical calculations, N-doping was demonstrated to be beneficial for the interaction between biochar and PMS, thus accelerating the catalytic degradation process. The reactive oxidative species involved in the degradation process were explored by EPR analysis. The degradation pathways were elucidated based on the liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass (LC-TOF-MS) analysis of the degradation products. This study highlights the applications of biochar for the environmental catalysis.

In this paper, two surface oxygen vacancy-rich TiO 2 composite photocatalysts were successfully constructed by solid thermal reduction ((R-Vo)TiO 2 ) and bimetallic doping (Nd-Fe-(D-Vo)TiO 2 ). The oxygen vacancies were characterized in detail using XPS, Raman, EPR and STEM. The results show that the excellent photocatalytic performance of Nd-Fe-(D-Vo)TiO 2 deriving from its doping energy and surface oxygen vacancies. Nd-Fe-(D-Vo)TiO 2 could degrade 58 % of phenol within 120 min, which was much greater than 15 % of TiO 2 and 27 % of (R-Vo)TiO 2 . Three composite photocatalysts, TiO 2 @EA, (R-Vo)TiO 2 @EA and Nd-Fe-(D-Vo) TiO 2 @EA, with better visible light absorption and photocatalytic performance were further obtained by bonding ellagic acid (EA) to the surface of TiO 2 . Nd-Fe-(D-Vo)TiO 2 @EA could almost completely degrade ethinyl estradiol within 20 min with a high minimization degree of 84 %. The possible sites of ethinyl estradiol attacked by free radicals were predicted by theoretical calculation combining with high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis, and the possible degradation mechanism was proposed.

Recently, ultrasmall gadolinium oxide (Gd 2 O 3 ) nanoparticles with high longitudinal relaxation rate have received enormous attention. However, it can't be concentrated in tumor site through intravenous administration due to its ultrasmall size. In this project, we coated ultrasmall Gd 2 O 3 nanoparticles with a near-infrared (NIR) light-absorbing polymer polypyrrole (PPy), modifying with hyaluronic acid (HA) and loaded aluminum phthalocyanine (AlPc), the Gd 2 O 3 @PPy/AlPc-HA nanoparticles could be used for fluorescence (FL)/magnetic resonance (MR)/photoacoustic (PA) imaging guided as well as remotely controlled PTT/PDT combined anti-tumor therapy. Polymerized PPy with high photothermal conversion efficiency was introduced to assemble the ultrasmall Gd 2 O 3 nanoparticles which have high longitudinal relaxation rate and signal-to-noise ratio, thus obtaining Gd 2 O 3 @PPy nanoparticles which possess a larger particle size and can be more suitable for tumor targeting based on the EPR effect . HA and AlPc were adsorbed on PPy for HA-mediated tumor targeting and photodynamic therapy respectively. The in vivo triple-modal imaging revealed that Gd 2 O 3 @PPy/AlPc-HA nanoparticles possess enhanced tumor uptake effect after intravenous injection. More importantly, the nanoparticles exhibited an obvious photothermal effect, which can trigger the release and de-quench of AlPc. The anti-tumor efficiency further corroborated that the combined therapy achieved an excellent tumor inhibition therapeutic effect which was much better than any other mono-therapy. Consequently, our work encouraged further exploration of polymer-based multifunctional theranostic nanoparticles for cancer combination therapy under remote near-infrared (NIR) light controls.

Rational design and synthesis of highly efficient and robust photocatalysts with positive exciton splitting and interfacial charge transfer for environmental applications is critical. Herein, aiming at overcoming the common shortcomings of traditional photocatalysts such as weak photoresponsivity, rapid combination of photo-generated carriers and unstable structure, a novel Ag-bridged dual Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /BiOI/AgI plasmonic heterojunction was successfully synthesized using a facile method. Results showed that Ag-AgI nanoparticles and three-dimensional (3D) BiOI microspheres were decorated highly uniformly on the 3D porous g-C 3 N 4 nanosheet, resulting in a higher specific surface area and abundant active sites. The optimized 3D porous dual Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /BiOI/Ag-AgI manifested exceptional photocatalytic degradation efficiency of tetracycline (TC) in water with approximately 91.8% degradation efficiency within 165 min, outperforming majority of the reported g-C 3 N 4 -based photocatalysts. Moreover, g-C 3 N 4 /BiOI/Ag-AgI exhibited good stability in terms of activity and structure. In-depth radical scavenging and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analyses confirmed the relative contributions of various scavengers. Mechanism analysis indicated that the improved photocatalytic performance and stability were ascribed to the highly ordered 3D porous framework, fast electron transfer of dual Z-scheme heterojunction, desirable photocatalytic performance of BiOI/AgI and synergistic effect of Ag plasmas. Therefore, the 3D porous Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /BiOI/Ag-AgI heterojunction had a good prospect for applications in water remediation. The current work provides new insight and useful guidance for designing novel structural photocatalysts for environment-related applications.

Defect engineering and heterostructure construction are important strategies to enhance the photocatalytic performance of single-phase materials. In this study, an O- and Cd-dual-defect-modified LaOCl@CdS heterojunction (Ov-L@Cdv-C) was successfully constructed. Under visible light irradiation, using the typical fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) as the target pollutant, Ov-L@Cdv-C exhibited superior photocatalytic degradation performance compared to Ov-LaOCl and Ov-L@CdS. Under optimal conditions (0.5 g/L catalyst, 0.010 g/L initial CIP concentration, pH = 5), the degradation efficiency of CIP reached 84.79 % within 150 min, significantly higher than that of Ov-LaOCl (48.73 %) and Ov-L@CdS (71.96 %). XPS and EPR characterizations confirmed the presence of abundant O and Cd dual defects in the Ov-L@Cdv-C heterojunction. ESR and free radical quenching experiments revealed that the main reactive species during the degradation process were ·O 2 − and h⁺. Based on work function calculations and built-in electric field analysis, a Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism for the Ov-L@Cdv-C dual-defect heterojunction was proposed. Furthermore, LC-MS analysis identified the degradation intermediates and proposed three possible degradation pathways. In addition, T.E.S.T. predictions indicated that the toxicity of CIP gradually decreased during the photocatalytic degradation process.

The in vivo delivery of nanomedicine is severely hampered by the limited enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR) in tumors. Aiming at overcoming this limitation and achieving high anti-tumor effect of chemotherapeutics, we specially addressed an available strategy from a viewpoint of increasing the drug loading of nano-carriers. Here, we constructed a novel pH-responsive polymersome based on the drug-driven self-assembly of amphiphilic polyphosphazenes PAP containing the ortho ester group ABD and mPEG2000. Due to the non-covalent attractive forces between PAP and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl), DOX·HCl can induce the self-assembly of PAP via embedding itself in the lamella to form vesicles and the subsequent location in the center aqueous chamber of the resultant nano-vesicles, which resulted in the high drug loading content of 35.77 wt%. In addition, with the incorporation of cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CholHS), the premature leakage of DOX·HCl was significantly inhibited under physiological conditions. Meanwhile, the pH-sensitive drug release occurred at pH 5.5 by the advantage of the pH-sensitive biodegradation of ABD in PAP. Consequently, this CholHS-incorporated DOX·HCl-driven PAP vesicle achieved excellent anti-tumor effect with tumor growth inhibition up to 82.4% in S180 tumor-bearing mice. Taken together, our newly developed drug-driven vesicles may promote the development of efficient drug delivery systems for application in cancer therapy.

Cisplatin is a widely-used chemotherapeutic drug in the clinic against a range of cancers. However, its anti-cancer efficacy and bioavailability are severely affected by systemic toxicity as well as drug resistance, which are mainly due to indiscriminate body distribution, low tumor accumulation and glutathione (GSH)-related drug detoxification. In this study, we prepared for the first time a new kind of Pt(IV)-crosslinked polymer nanoparticle with small, uniform size and high loading of cisplatin (60.8%). Such a kind of polymer nanodrug could keep its structural integrity during blood circulation to afford higher tumor accumulation via the EPR effect and receptor-mediated targeting effect, yet rapidly self-disintegrate to release drugs in response to tumor intracellular bio-reducing molecules, such as glutathione (GSH), resulting in efficient cancer cell inhibition and reduced systemic toxicity in vivo. Meanwhile, some of the cellular GSH molecules are depleted and transformed into an oxidized GSSG form to decrease their chelating interaction with platinum drugs, which attenuate their detoxifying effect on the Pt(II) species and may have an advantage for overcoming the tumor resistance to cisplatin induced by GSH. Moreover, the maximum tolerated dose of drug could be greatly enhanced (>3 fold), which improved the bioavailability of the nanodrug at relatively high doses. The present work provides a novel drug self-crosslinked design tactic and might open a new window for clinical cancer treatment.

Graphical Reduced amino acid Schiff base-iron(III) complexes have been developed and employed as catalysts for the selective oxidation of cycloalkanes and aromatics into alcohols/ketones and phenols with H 2 O 2 as an oxidant, respectively. The iron complexes catalyze the oxidation reaction via a heterogeneous manner and are capable to be recyclable. The reduced amino acid Schiff base ligands have been prepared and were coordinated with ferric chloride to generate the iron(III) complexes. The ligands and complexes have been characterized using FT-IR, UV-vis, elemental analysis, ICP-AES analysis, mass spectra etc. After the structural characterization, these complexes were applied for the oxidation of cyclohexane using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant under mild conditions. The activity tests showed that the L-phenylalanine-derived reduced Schiff base iron(III) complex(Ph−FeCl) afforded the highest yield of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone(total yield up to 23.2 %). Notably, the Ph−FeCl complex catalyzes the reaction via a heterogeneous approach, allowing the complex to be separated and recycled conveniently after the oxidation reaction. Besides, the Ph−FeCl catalyst can also be extended for the selective oxidation of other alkanes and aromatics into alcohols, ketones and phenols etc. Finally, the reaction mechanism of cyclohexane oxidation on the iron(III) complex was proposed as well by the free radical inhibitors and EPR study of active intermediates.
