SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2403800. [PMID: 39163609 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202403800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/22/2024]
Abstract
Self-propelled nanomotors possess strong propulsion and penetration abilities, which can increase the efficiency of cellular uptake of nanoparticles and enhance their cytotoxicity against tumor cells, opening a new path for treating major diseases. In this study, the concept of driving nanomotors by alternately stretching and contracting a temperature-sensitive polymer (TS-P) chain is proposed. The TS-Ps are successfully linked to one side of Cu2-xSe@Au (CS@Au) nanoparticles to form a Janus structure, which is designated as Cu2-xSe@Au-polymer (CS@Au-P) nanomotors. Under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, Cu2-xSe nanoparticles generate photothermal effects that change the system temperature, triggering the alternation of the TS-P structure to generate a mechanical force that propels the motion of CS@Au-P nanomotors. The nanomotor significantly improved the cellular uptake of nanoparticles and enhanced their penetration and accumulation in tumor. Furthermore, the exceptional photothermal conversion efficiency of CS@Au-P nanomotors suggests their potential as nanomaterials for photothermal therapy (PTT). The prepared material exhibited good biocompatibility and anti-tumor effects both in vivo and in vitro, providing new research insights into the design and application of nanomotors in tumor therapy.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 674:19-28. [PMID: 38909591 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.06.146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 06/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
Exploring robust electrode materials which could permit fast and reversible insertion/extraction of large K+ is a crucial challenge for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Smart interfacial design could facilitate electron/ion transport as well as assure the integrity of electrode. Herein, Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was found to play bifunctional roles in construction of Nb2CTx@MoSe2 heterostructure. Firstly, functionalization of CTAB on the surface of Nb2CTx could influence the subsequent growth of MoSe2 by electrostatic effect, stereochemical effect and the synergetic Lewis acid-base interaction, leading to the formation of Nb2CTx@MoSe2 with tiled heterostructure. Secondly, the interlayer spacing of Nb2CTx was expanded from 0.77 to 1.21 nm owing to the pillar effect of CTAB. As excepted, the capacity retention was 80 % from 100 mA g-1 (406 mA h g-1) to 1000 mA g-1 concerning rate capability and the specific capacity maintained at 240 mA h g-1 (at 2000 mA g-1) over 300 cycles. The calculated DK values from Galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) measurement of the titled C-T-Nb2CTx@MoSe2@C electrode is two orders of magnitude larger than the traditional T-Nb2CTx@MoSe2@C electrode, further confirming intimate interface between MoSe2 and Nb2CTx could provide convenient potassium-ion transport channels and fast diffusion kinetics. Finally, ex-situ characterizations at different charging and discharging voltage stages, including ex-situ XRD/Raman/HRTEM/XPS have been carried out to reveal the potassium storage mechanism. This work provides a facile strategy for the regulation of interface engineering by the assist of CTAB which could extend to other MXenes-TMDs (Transition metal dichalcogenides) hybrid electrodes.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) is favored for its photothermal absorption capability in solar vapor generation applications. However, the photothermal conversion efficiency of current PB-based devices is limited by the material's poor dispersion. Herein, we report a method of incorporating PB in the interlayers of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) to prevent its aggregation. The dispersion is further enhanced and stabilized by the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The thermal and water stability of PB is improved due to the rigid structure of LDHs and interactions between layers and anions. Elemental analysis confirms that with the increase of molar ratio of Mg/Al and the introduction of SDS, concentrations of PB are decreased accordingly. As a result, the rate of solar vapor generation is increased by 35.9% for powders containing 50 mg of equivalent PB. Of note, converting this material into a three-dimensional structure of high rebound foam further enhances solar water evaporation rate, from 0.79 kg m-2 h-1 to 0.98 kg m-2 h-1, with only 20 mg of equivalent PB, increasing the corresponding photothermal conversion efficiency from 53.8% to 66.3%.

Abstract
The phenomenon of overlapping double layers due to micropores inhibits capacitive deionization performance, which is improved by increasing the pore size. In this study, a novel ternary composite electrode (sodium lignosulfonate/reduced graphene oxide/cobalt sulfide, LGC) was designed using a two-step hydrothermal method. CoS with high pseudocapacitance modifies sodium lignosulfonate and graphene connected by hydrogen bonding, benefiting from the constitutive steric structure. The electrochemical performance was significantly enhanced, and the desalination capacity substantially improved. The LGC electrode specific capacitance was as high as 354.47 F g-1 at a 1 A g-1 current density. The desalination capacity of the capacitive deionization device comprising LGC and activated carbon in 1 M NaCl electrolyte reached 28.04 mg g-1 at an operating condition of 1.2 V, 7 mL min-1. Additionally, the LGC electrodes degraded naturally post the experiment by simply removing the CoS, suggesting that the LGC composites are promising material for capacitive deionization electrodes.

Abstract
Solar-driven desalination is an environmentally sustainable method to alleviate the problems of freshwater scarcity and the energy crisis. However, how to improve the synergy between the photothermal material and the evaporator to achieve high photothermal conversion efficiency simultaneously, excellent thermal management system and good salt resistance remains a challenge. Here, a mushroom-shaped solar evaporation device is designed and fabricated with iron diselenide/carbon black (FeSe2/CB) coated cellulose acetate (CA) film as mushroom surface and cotton swab as mushroom handle, which presented high solar-driven evaporation and excellent salt resistance. Thanks to the unique photothermal effect and the synergistic effect, the FeSe2/CB composites enabled a promising photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 65.8 °C after 180 s. The mushroom-shaped evaporation device effectively overcomes water transport and steam spillage channel blockage caused by salt crystallization through its unique vertical transport water channels and conical air-water interface. When exposed to real sunlight, the solar evaporation rate of the steam generation structure reached as high as 2.03 kg m-2 h-1, which is more than 13 times higher than natural evaporation. This study offered new insights into the higher solar-driven evaporation rate and salt-blocking resistance of the FeSe2/CB mushroom-shaped solar evaporation device for solar-powered water production.

Abstract
Complete ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in C1 pathway with 12 transferred electrons is highly desirable yet challenging in direct ethanol fuel cells. Herein, PtRh jagged nanowires synthesized via a simple wet-chemical approach exhibit exceptional EOR mass activity of 1.63 A mgPt-1 and specific activity of 4.07 mA cm-2 , 3.62-fold and 4.28-folds increments relative to Pt/C, respectively. High proportions of 69.33% and 73.42% of initial activity are also retained after chronoamperometric test (80 000 s) and 1500 consecutive potential cycles, respectively. More importantly, it is found that PtRh jagged nanowires possess superb anti-CO poisoning capability. Combining X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as well as density functional theory calculations unveil that the remarkable catalytic activity and CO tolerance stem from both the Rh-induced electronic effect and geometric effect (manifested by shortened Pt─Pt bond length and shrinkage of lattice constants), which facilitates EOR catalysis in C1 pathway and improves reaction kinetics by reducing energy barriers of rate-determining steps (such as *CO → *COOH). The C1 pathway efficiency of PtRh jagged nanowires is further verified by the high intensity of CO2 relative to CH3 COOH/CH3 CHO in infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy.

Abstract
Harvesting solar energy, as a clean and abundant resource, in the photothermal process, is the winning point of solar steam generation (SSG) systems. Herein, copper plasmonic nanoparticles were synthesized through a green method via red sanders extraction on the cotton fabric as the reducing matrix. The prepared fabrics were analyzed using FESEM, EDS, XRD, PL, Raman, and contact angle. The treated fabric on the stitched PU foam with cotton yarns with bio-inspired jellyfish structure was used for heat localization and water transmission, simultaneously. The evaporation rate, enhancement, and conversion efficiency of the plasmonic SSG were 1.73 kg m-2 h-1, 179%, and ~ 98%, under one sun irradiation, respectively. The quality of the collected water was investigated via induced coupled plasma which presents the proper solar desalination (> 99.83% for filtration of Na+ ion). Regenerating features of the treated fabric along with the simple and cost-effective preparation method promises viable aspects of our system for large-scale applications.

Abstract
Cancer, a disease notorious for its difficult therapy regimen, has long puzzled researchers. Despite attempts to cure cancer using surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy, their effectiveness is limited. Recently, photothermal therapy (PTT), a rising strategy, has gained attention. PTT can increase the surrounding temperature of cancer tissues and cause damage to them. Fe is widely used in PTT nanostructures due to its strong chelating ability, good biocompatibility, and the potential to induce ferroptosis. In recent years, many nanostructures incorporating Fe3+ have been developed. In this article, we summarize PTT nanostructures containing Fe and introduce their synthesis and therapy strategy. However, PTT nanostructures containing Fe are still in their infancy, and more effort must be devoted to improving their effectiveness so that they can eventually be used in clinics.

Abstract
Solar-driven steam generation (SSG) is regarded as a feasible solution to the problem of fresh water scarcity. Although several attempts have been devoted to increase the efficiency of solar-to-steam conversion, it remains difficult to fabricate cost-effective, steady, and multi-angle sunlight-absorbing evaporators from readily available biomass materials. Herein, a novel hierarchical structured SSG evaporator (PDA@Shell-NaClO) is developed through a simple, low-cost, and scalable etching treatment on discarded sea urchin (SU) shells. Attributing to the dedicatedly designed microneedles array structure and porous skeleton structure of the SU shell, this PDA@Shell-NaClO evaporator shows an outstanding average light absorption performance (>90%) in a broad range of angles from 0° to 60° and exceedingly high evaporation rate of 2.81 kg m-2 h-1 under one sun condition. Furthermore, the prepared evaporator also maintains an overall stable evaporation performance and exhibits an excellent durability for a long time of up to two weeks in actual seawater. This full-ocean biomass-based SSG evaporator with plentiful raw material availability offers innovative opportunities for large-scale fresh water production.

Abstract
Environmental pollution and the shortage of drinking water are the challenges that mankind is facing. Solar interface evaporation technology has been demonstrated as an important method for producing clean water, but its application to sewage still faces problems, mainly manifested in solubility and oily pollutants. Therefore, an evaporator device contains a superhydrophobic Bi2WO6 felt floating layer, a filter paper hydrophilic layer, and a copper foam/CuO photothermal layer, of which the water contact angle of the superhydrophobic felt can reach 159°. The floating layer not only has the ability to adsorb n-hexane but the Rh B degradation can also be realized under indoor/outdoor light conditions. The carrier life of Bi2WO6 is 28.8 ns. A copper foam/CuO photothermal layer prepared through a low-temperature treatment is combined with the floating and hydrophilic layer to obtain an evaporation rate of 1.53 kg m-2 h-1.

Abstract
Solar steam generator (SSG) systems have attracted increasing attention, owing to its simple manufacturing, material abundance, cost-effectiveness, and environmentally friendly freshwater production. This system relies on photothermic materials and water absorbing substrates for a clean continuous distillation process. To optimize this process, there are factors that are needed to be considered such as selection of solar absorber and water absorbent materials, followed by micro/macro-structural system design for efficient water evaporation, floating, and filtration capability. In this contribution, we highlight the general interfacial SSG concept, review and compare recent progresses of different SSG systems, as well as discuss important factors on performance optimization. Furthermore, unaddressed challenges such as SSG's cost to performance ratio, filtration of untreatable micropollutants/microorganisms, and the need of standardization testing will be discussed to further advance future SSG studies.
