Abstract
Effective removal of chemically toxic selenium oxoanions at high-capacity and trace levels from contaminated water remains a challenge in current scientific pursuits. Here, we report the functionalization of the MgAl layered double hydroxide with molybdenum-oxysulfide (MoO2S2) anion, referred to as LDH-MoO2S2, and its potential to sequester SeVIO42- and SeIVO32- from aqueous solution. LDH-MoO2S2 nanosheets were synthesized by an ion exchange method in solution. Synchrotron X-ray pair distribution function (PDF) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) revealed an unexpected transformation of the MoO2S22- to Mo2O2S62- like species during the intercalation process. LDH-MoO2S2 is remarkably efficient in removing SeO42- and SeO32- ions from the ppm to trace level (≤10 ppb), with distribution constant (Kd) ranging from 104 to 105 mL/g. This material showed exceptionally high sorption capacities of 237 and 358 mg/g for SeO42- and SeO32-, respectively. Furthermore, LDH-MoO2S2 demonstrates substantial affinity and efficiency to remove SeO32-/SeO42- even in the presence of competitive ions from contaminated water. Hence, the removal of selenium (VI/IV) oxoanions collectively occurs through reductive precipitation and ion exchange mechanisms. This work provides significant insights into the chemical structure of the MoO2S2 anion into LDH and emphasizes its exceptional potential for high-capacity selenium removal and positioning it as a premier sorbent for selenium oxoanions.

Abstract
Chemotherapy with combination drugs has become one of the most commonly used cancer prevention treatments, with positive clinical results. The goal of this study was to develop compostable polymeric nanomaterials (NMs) for the delivery of puerarin (PRN) and 5-fluorouracil (5FU), as well as to investigate the anticancer activity of the drug delivery system (PRN-5FU NMs) against in vitro and in vivo lung cancer cells. Since double antitumor drugs PRN and 5FU are insufficiently compressed in polymer-based bio-degradable nanoparticles, encapsulation of PRN and 5FU antitumor drugs were co-encapsulated with polyethylene glycol and polylactidecoglycolide nanoparticles (NMs) is efficient. The arrangement of PRN NMs, 5FU NMs, and PRN-5FU NMs, as well as the nanoparticles shape and scale, were studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). 5FU-PRN NMs triggered apoptosis in lung carcinoma cell lines such as HEL-299 and A549 in vitro. Acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) and nuclear damaging staining techniques were used to observe morphologies and cell death. The mechanistic analysis of apoptosis was also confirmed by flow cytometry analysis using dual staining. When compared to free anticancer products, the hemolysis analysis findings of the 5FU-PRN NMs showed excellent biocompatibility. Taken together the advantages, this combination drug conveyance strategy exposed that 5FU-PRN NMs could have a significant promising to improve the effectiveness of lung cancer cells.
