The excessive use of paper causes serious resource consumption and environmental pollution. Environmentally friendly light printing based on a photochromic system with the advantages of being noncontact, rapid, and inkless has attracted increasing attention; however, several problems need to be addressed, such as slow discoloration and irreversibility. In this work, a composite of MoO3−x inorganic nanorods and the conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) was employed as a color-changing electrode, and a photochromic/electrochromic strain sensor (PESS) was obtained by assembling the color-changing electrode with an organohydrogel electrolyte and a flexible indium tin oxide (ITO) film. Due to the photochromic/electrochromic effect of MoO3−x and the conductivity of PEDOT:PSS, the sensor turned cyan-blue under UV irradiation or a negative bias voltage, and it could be rapidly bleached by applying a positive bias voltage. The photochromic/electrochromic behavior of the PESS could be optimized by tuning the amount of PEDOT:PSS, and the device could perform cyclic light printing/electroerasing with a fast and stable response. Moreover, the flexible strain sensor could be utilized to monitor mechanical strain by translating a series of deformations into electrical signals. The properties of photochromism/electrochromism and strain sensing make the device potentially applicable to outdoor wearable devices capable of light-based printing.

Developing an artificial dynamic nanoscale molecular machine that dissipatively self-assembles far from equilibrium is fundamentally important but is significantly challenging. Herein, we report dissipatively self-assembling light-activated convertible pseudorotaxanes (PRs) that show tunable fluorescence and enable deformable nano-assemblies. A pyridinium-conjugated sulfonato-merocyanine derivative (EPMEH) and cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) form the 2EPMEH ⊂ CB[8] [3]PR in a 2:1 stoichiometry, which phototransforms into a transient spiropyran containing 1:1 EPSP ⊂ CB[8] [2]PR when exposed to light. The transient [2]PR thermally relaxes (reversibly) to the [3]PR in the dark accompanied by periodic fluorescence changes that include near-infrared emission. Moreover, octahedral and spherical nanoparticles are formed through the dissipative self-assembly of the two PRs, and the Golgi apparatus is dynamically imaged using fluorescent dissipative nano-assemblies.

Melanoma is the most aggressive and malignant form of skin cancer. Current melanoma treatment methods generally suffer from frequent drug administration as well as difficulty in direct monitoring of drug release. Here, a self-monitoring microneedle (MN)-based drug delivery system, which integrates a dissolving MN patch with aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active PATC microparticles, is designed to achieve light-controlled pulsatile chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy of melanoma. The PATC polymeric particles, termed D/ [email protected] , encapsulate both of chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) and the photothermal agent indocyanine green (ICG). Upon light illumination, PATC gradually dissociates into smaller particles, causing the release of encapsulated DOX and subsequent fluorescence intensity change of PATC particles, thereby not only enabling direct observation of the drug release process under light stimuli, but also facilitating verification of drug release by fluorescence recovery after light trigger. Moreover, encapsulation of ICG in PATC particles displays significant improvement of its photothermal stability both in vitro and in vivo. In a tumor-bearing mouse, the application of one D/ [email protected] MN patch combining with two cycles of light irradiation showed excellent controllable chemo-photothermal efficacy and exhibited ∼97% melanoma inhibition rate without inducing any evident systemic toxicity, suggesting a great potential for skin cancer treatment in clinics.

Photocatalytic H 2 evolution is a promising technology which could be instrumental in producing clean hydrogen energy. In regard to the photocatalyst, its band structure, morphology and light utilization have a significant influence on the H 2 evolution rate and stability. Herein, a three-dimensional ordered macroporous nitrogen-vacancy carbon nitride (3DOM V-CN) photocatalyst was developed by combining vacancies with 3DOM structure for visible-light photocatalytic H 2 evolution. This strategy preserved the structural properties of 3DOM to improve the light utilization and the specific surface area of the photocatalysts. Moreover, constructing suitable vacancies could trap electrons to facilitate the separation of photogenerated carriers, and extend the light absorption region of the photocatalysts by adjusting band structure, thus improving photocatalytic activity. Compared with CN (0.3 mmol h −1 g −1 ), 3DOM V-CN demonstrated a superior photocatalytic H 2 evolution rate of 2.3 mmol h −1 g −1 (λ ≥ 420 nm) while possessing excellent stability. This work provides an effective and low-cost strategy for the design of the photocatalysts with high activity and stability by simultaneously tuning the band structure and morphology.

Blue light-emitting diode (LED) light has been considered to influence the growth, quality, and preservation of certain fruit and vegetable. However, the blue LED light impact on apple postharvest blue mold remains elusive. In this study, the influence of blue LED light on Penicillium expansum virulence and patulin secretion was investigated in vitro and in vivo, as well as on the apple quality. The growth of P. expansum was inhibited by blue LED light via changes in mycelium morphology changes, cell membrane integrity, and potential mitochondrial membrane destruction, thereby causing reactive oxygen species accumulation, oxidative stress , and mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, the expression level of LaeA relevant to the pathogenicity of P. expansum , was down-regulated. Specifically, the patulin production of P. expansum was inhibited via expression down-regulation of the patulin biosynthesis-related genes PatA , PatE , and PatN rather than direct degradation by the blue LED light treatment. Additionally, no significant effects on the fruit quality were observed when the light intensity was lower than 120 μmol m -2 s -1 . In summary, blue LED light treatment has the potential for a low-cost, safe, and non-chemical approach to control apple postharvest decay.

Strong visible-light absorption and high surface areas contribute to high-perform semiconductor photocatalysis . This work aims to fabricate self-doped Ti 3+ -TiO 2 microspheres and dye sensitized self-doped Ti 3+ -TiO 2 composites with high surface areas and visible-light absorption via one-pot solvothermal strategy for highly enhanced photocatalytic tetracycline degradation under visible-light irradiation. The experimental results showed that the obtained Ti 3+ -TiO 2 microspheres showed enhanced visible-light capture capacity and a larger surface area of 204.9 m 2 g −1 . Besides, the obtained Eosin Y/Ti 3+ -TiO 2 composites showed efficient visible-light absorption and highly boosted photocatalytic performance towards tetracycline degradation. The highest rate constant for Eosin Y/Ti 3+ -TiO 2 -9% composite reached as high as 0.06657 min −1 , approximately 8.09 times that of commercial TiO 2 , strongly demonstrating the significant roles of dye sensitization. Finally, a reasonable dye-sensitization visible-light photocatalytic mechanism was suggested.

Intelligent rewritable display systems have been long expected to reduce the heavy consumption of single-use or transient devices in the age of Internet-of-Things. However, it remains challenging to construct such systems with integrated functionality of remote control, rapid activation, multicolor and multimode display. Herein, by learning from the unique multilayer arrangement of chromatophores in chameleon skins, a promising kind of rewritable hydrogel multicolor systems is presented that can combine the merits of near-infrared (NIR) light-writing and projecting modes for on-demand information display. Specifically, the systems have typical multilayer layout consisting of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-sealed carbon nanotubes (CNTs) film as photothermal control unit and embedded fluorescent hydrogels as multicolor display unit, in which thermoresponsive hydrogel is constrained within non-responsive hydrogel. Such rational structure design results in the establishment of one promising display mechanism via the cascading “light trigger–heat generation–fluorescence output” process. On this basis, rapid and reversible hand-written display of arbitrary information is achieved within 5 s. Also, sustainable light-projecting display of predesigned multicolor patterns is demonstrated due to the multilayer design that ensures easy patterning of photothermal control or hydrogel display layer. This study brings functional-integrated merits for novel rewritable display systems and open new possibility to construct high-end products for information display/transmission.

The simulation of neurons receiving stimulation and transmitting signals by proton conduction has great potential applications in electrochemistry and biology. In this work, copper tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (Cu-TCPP), which is a proton conductive metal organic framework (MOF) with photothermal response, is adopted as the structural framework, with the in situ co-incorporation of polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) and sulfonated spiropyran (SSP) to prepare the composite membranes. The resultant PSS–SSP@Cu-TCPP thin-film membranes were used as the logic gates i.e., NO gate, NOR gate and NAND gate because of the photothermal effect of Cu-TCPP MOFs and the photoinduced conformational changes of SSP. This membrane exhibits the high proton conductivity of 1.37 × 10−4 S cm−1. Under the conditions of 55 °C and 95% relative humidity (RH), using 405 nm laser irradiation with 400 mW cm−2 and 520 nm laser irradiation with 200 mW cm−2 as inputs, the device can be adjusted between various steady states, and the value of the conductivity is regarded as the output with different thresholds in different logic gates. Before and after laser irradiation, the electrical conductivity changes dramatically, and the ON/OFF switching ratio reached 1068. The application of three logic gates is realized by constructing circuits with LED lights. Depending on the convenience of light and the easy measurement of conductivity, this kind of device with light source as input and electrical signal as output provides the possibility to realize the remote control of chemical sensors and complex logic gates devices.

Light-driven electrophoretic micromotors have gained significant attention recently for applications in drug delivery, targeted therapy, biosensing, and environmental remediation. Micromotors that possess good biocompatibility and the ability to adapt to complex external environments are particularly attractive. In this study, we have fabricated visible light-driven micromotors that could swim in an environment with relatively high salinity. To achieve this, we first tuned the energy bandgap of rutile TiO2that was hydrothermally synthesized, enabling it to generate photogenerated electron-hole pairs under visible light rather than solely under UV. Next, platinum nanoparticles and polyaniline were decorated onto the surface of TiO2microspheres to facilitate the micromotors swimming in ion-rich environments. Our micromotors exhibited electrophoretic swimming in NaCl solutions with concentrations as high as 0.1 M, achieving a velocity of 0.47 μm/s without the need for additional chemical fuels. The micromotors’ propulsion was generated solely by splitting water under visible light illumination, therefore offering several advantages over traditional micromotors, such as biocompatibility and the ability to operate in environments with high ionic strength. These results demonstrated high biocompatibility of photophoretic micromotors and high potential for practical applications in various fields.Keywords:micromotors;visible light;ion-tolerant;biocompatibility

Oxidative carbonylation of methane is an appealing approach to the synthesis of acetic acid but is limited by the demand for additional reagents. Here, we report a direct synthesis of CH 3 COOH solely from CH 4 via photochemical conversion without additional reagents. This is made possible through the construction of the PdO/Pd–WO 3 heterointerface nanocomposite containing active sites for CH 4 activation and C–C coupling. In situ characterizations reveal that CH 4 is dissociated into methyl groups on Pd sites while oxygen from PdO is the responsible for carbonyl formation. The cascade reaction between the methyl and carbonyl groups generates an acetyl precursor which is subsequently converted to CH 3 COOH. Remarkably, a production rate of 1.5 mmol g Pd –1 h –1 and selectivity of 91.6% toward CH 3 COOH is achieved in a photochemical flow reactor. This work provides insights into intermediate control via material design, and opens an avenue to conversion of CH 4 to oxygenates.

Visible-light-driven azobenzene had been reported by theoretical calculation, but could not be detected by any characterization method due to unstable cis structure. Herein, copolymerization was applied to solve the problem based on a time-dependent characteristic of macromolecular motion. Therefore, two copolymers, namely, MRAA-PEG20 copolymer and MRAA-NIPAM copolymer, were synthesized with a definite segment ratio. Both copolymers had photosensitive groups, which were confirmed by UV-vis spectra. Furthermore, copolymer concentration had a linear relationship with absorbance value at 425 nm. Firstly, blue light as an excitation source to induce the isomerization of copolymers. At the same time, repeated interval irradiation was used to evaluate the fatigue performance of the copolymer. Consequently, both copolymers could quickly transform to their cis isomers upon irradiation, which could be reversible recovered to their trans isomers in operable recovery time after removing irradiation. However, the MRAA-PEG20 copolymer had an obvious photobleaching phenomenon along with the circle index, which did not exist in the MRAA-NIPAM copolymer. Secondly, the effects of excitation light source on isomerization were investigated. It was found that blue light was the most efficient excitation source for both copolymers though other light could also induce trans-to-cis transition. Thirdly, the influence of light intensity and temperature was respectively studied. With increasing of light intensity, the absorbance ratio before and after irradiation monotonously decreased, the irradiation response time shortened and the recovery response time prolonged. Moreover, higher temperature resulted in a higher absorbance ratio, shorter irradiation response time, and shorter recovery response time. Finally, synthesized copolymers had characteristic of pH indicator with a critical point of pH 5.0.

In this research, solutions of styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (SBS) in 2-ethoxyethyl methacrylate (EOEMA) were used to prepare strippable films via rapid visible-light curing, where the mixture of camphorquinone (CQ), diphenylsilane (DPS) and diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate (Iod) was employed as the photoinitiating system, LED@405 nm, sunlight or household LED panel light as the light source and no any solvent was involved. The double bond conversion for pure EOEMA under LED@405 nm was firstly monitored by real-time FTIR and it reached 72% within 300 s. The rapid-curing of SBS/EOEMA solutions were systematically investigated and it was found that the solution with 16 wt% SBS became completely dried at the presence of 2.16 mol% crosslinker and 3.6 wt% photoinitiating system after 240 s irradiation under LED@405 nm. The tensile strength , elongation at break and glass transition temperature of the resultant strippable film were determined to be about 4.4 ± 0.5 MPa, 130 ± 11.2% and 6.9 °C, respectively, by mechanical properties testing and DSC measurements. Also, the decontamination efficiencies (DE) of household LED panel light/sunlight cured-strippable film for uranium nitrate on stainless steel , glass, and ceramic surface were evaluated to be higher than 90%. These results indicate that this rapid-curing strippable films would be a good candidate material for large-scale radioactive decontamination.
