Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) are promising drug vectors due to their high drug loading capacities, degradability under biologically relevant conditions. The dissolution of MSN has been the focus of several recent studies, most of which have, however, been carried out in the absence of proteins, and do therefore not reflect the conditions prevailing during in vitro or in vivo administration of the particles. Furthermore, typically the dissolution studies are limited with respect to the range of MSN concentrations applied. Here, we report results related to the dissolution kinetics and structural particle evolution for MCM-48 MSN carried out in the presence of proteins, and where the particle concentration has been used as a parameter to cover typical concentrations used in in vitro and in vivo studies involving MSNs. Proteins adsorbing to the MSN surface form a diffusion limiting layer that leads to the intermediate formation of core-shell structured particles upon dissolution. Here, the protein concentration controls the kinetics of this process, as the amount of protein adsorbing to the MSN increase with increasing protein concentration. The results thus also imply that the MSN dissolution kinetics is faster under normally applied in vitro conditions as compared to what can be expected under full serum conditions.Metal chalcogenides (MCs) have received widespread attentions in potassium ion storage, due to their high theoretical specific capacity and low cost. However, practical applications are still a challenge because of the slow diffusion rate and large ionic radius, leading to dramatic volume expansion and slow rate performance. Herein, we introduce a simple and large scale solvothermal method to synthesize high-quality two-dimensional (2D) layered CuSbS2 nanosheets with a thickness of about 5 nm. The thin 2D layered structure has a weak van der Waals gap and a large exposed surface area to contact the electrolyte and promotes rapid K+ diffusion kinetics. In addition, the in-situ copper exsolution during potassiation process enhances the rate capability of K+ storage. CuSbS2 half cells exhibited excellent rate performance, delivering specific capacities of 573, 505, 476, 230, 177 mAh g-1 at current densities of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 A g-1, respectively. The unique K+ electrochemical storage mechanism and resistance change during reaction process was revealed in detail by operando XRD, XPS and TEM. Finally, potassium ion hybrid capacitors (PIHCs) with CuSbS2 nanosheets as anode and AC as cathode demonstrated excellent performances with the maximum energy density of 127 W h kg-1 and the power density of 2415 W kg-1, providing an example of rationally design a high rate battery-type PIHC anode.Bacteria is one of the main culprits that cause human diseases and pose long-term challenges to people's health. Rare earth elements have unique antibacterial advantages, but little research is available. In this paper, we reported an antibacterial composite film based on lanthanum-doped carbon quantum dot nanoparticles (La@N-P-CQDs) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film for fluorescence of antibiotics and accelerating wound healing. PVA/La@N-P-CQDs composite film presented excellent hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, fluorescence intensity, and antibacterial effects. The antibacterial activity of La@N-P-CQDs was evaluated by employing antibacterial assay using Escherichia coli (E.coli)and Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) in vitro. La@N-P-CQDs showed enhanced antibacterial activity compared with N-P-CQDs. Moreover, the PVA/La@N-P-CQDs composite film with 0.5 mg/mL La@N-P-CQDs showed better antibacterial capability and wound healing performance than PVA and PVA/N-P-CQDs films in bacterial adhesion experiment. PVA/La@N-P-CQDs composite film could be used for wound dressing in vivo experiment and had no side effects on major organs in mice. selleck inhibitor The antibacterial composite film significantly promoted in vivo wound healing process because of its multifunctional properties. Therefore, it was an excellent candidate for wound dressing.The practical applications of lithium sulfur battery is impeded by the lithium polysulfide shuttling and sluggish redox kinetics. To address the issues, herein, a multifunctional host is developed by the combination of nitrogen, phosphorus co-doped carbon fiber (NPCF) and CoS2 towards boost the soluble polysulfides adsorption and transformation. Benefiting from the NPCF originated from biomass cattail fibers, a high conductive network is provided, and shuttle effect is reduced due to the strong chemical interaction between abundant heteroatom polar sites and lithium polysulfides. Moreover, the electrocatalytic CoS2 on the carbon skeleton facilitate lithium polysulfides conversion and lithium sulfide deposition based on the density functional theory calculations and experiments. The efficient lithium polysulfides entrapment and subsequent electrocatalytic conversion improve dynamic stability during cycling, especially for rate capability. With these advantageous features, the electrode with NPCF/CoS2 host can deliver a good rate capability (903 and 782 mAh g-1 at 1C and 2C, respectively) and stable cycling performance with an ultra-low capacity decay of 0.014% per cycle at 1C. Notably, the cell can achieve a high areal capacity of 4.96 mA h cm-2 under an elevated sulfur loading of 5.0 mg cm-2. Overall, the improvement on the electrochemical performance ascertains the validity of the design strategy based on synergy engineering, which is a highly suitable approach for energy storage and conversion application.A novel N-rich sugarcane-like photocatalyst CdS/C3N5 (CCN) was prepared by a thermal polymerization method and tested for generating H2 and realizing antiphotocorrosive performance. The best photocatalytic H2 evolution is obtained for a CdS to C3N5 mass ratio of 11 (CCN3), which is nearly 33 and 3 times higher than that of pure C3N5 and CdS, respectively. CCN3 can be used to effectively reduce CdS photocorrosion and increase stability because of its N-rich performance and sugarcane-like structure, which can affect electron transport and enhance the internal binding force, respectively. CCN3 can maintain a high H2 evolution ability after 5 cycles, while still maintaining the original sugarcane-like shape, which has an anti-photocorrosive ability.In this work, a flower-like MnFe2O4-MoS2 (FMW) catalyst was successfully prepared as a catalyst for photo-Fenton oxidation. The flower-like structured FMW possessed large open surface area, which exposed enough active sites and can fully contact with tetracycline (TC). We studied the effect of different FMW composites, H2O2 concentration and light intensity on the photo-Fenton process. 1FMW (MnFe2O4MoS2 = 110 in mol) exhibited the best degradation effect on TC, and 1 mmol/L of H2O2 and 398.73 mW/cm2 of light were the optimum parameters. A p-n heterojunction was formed in 1FMW, ensuring the stability of composite and the fast electron transfer. Holes, •O2- and •OH were generated in photo-Fenton process and participated in TC degradation. Notably, FMW can be recycled quickly under an external magnetic field due to its magnetic properties. Overall, FMW shows good catalytic stability and recoverability in photo-Fenton oxidation process, which has a broad application prospect.Conductive polymer nanofiber composites (CPNCs) based wearable sensing electronics have aroused great attention of scientists in recent years. However, it is still difficult to obtain CPNCs with good water proof, excellent durability, and multiple sensing performance. Herein, we develop a multifunctional CPNC with a wrinkled reduced graphene oxide (RGO) shell and polymer nanofiber core, which is prepared by ultrasonication induced decoration of RGO onto the pre-stretched polyurethane (PU) nanofibers, followed by the release of the strain. The RGO assembly with a wrinkled structure not only greatly increases the surface roughness and thus the hydrophobicity but also enhances the strain sensing sensitivity (with a gauge factor of 154.8 in the strain range of 85%-100%) of the nanofibrous membrane. The obtained CPNC strain sensor also shows excellent sensing durability (over 1000 cycles) and can be used for body motion monitoring. The CPNC shows a negative temperature coefficient effect, which holds promising applications in high performance temperature sensors.It is important to develop novel energy to solve energy shortage and environmental problems. Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is envisaged as a viable technology that can be used to develop sustainable clean energy. Herein, we report a catalyst with CoSe2-MoSe2 heterostructure grown on reduced graphene oxide with an optimum Co/Mo proportion of 11 (CoSe2-MoSe2(1-1)/rGO). It exhibits good HER activities in both acidic and alkaline conditions. The CoSe2-MoSe2(1-1)/rGO shows an overpotential of 107 mV at 10 mA cm-2 with a Tafel slope of 56 mV dec-1 under acidic condition. Meanwhile, CoSe2-MoSe2(1-1)/rGO also presents an overpotential of 182 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and with a Tafel slope of 89 mV dec-1 under alkaline condition. These impressive performances of the catalyst are mainly due to the excellent electronic transmission capability of rGO and the abundant active sites of CoSe2-MoSe2 heterostructure as well as the optimized hydrogen adsorption energy of CoSe2-MoSe2 interface. The design of CoSe2-MoSe2(1-1)/rGO provides a meaningful guide for manufacturing electrode in energy storage and conversion.Herein, we have assembled an anionic donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polyelectrolyte dots (Pdots), based on bithiophene units-containing backbone and sulfonate modified side chain (PCP-2F-Li), with porous g-C3N4 nanosheets (CNNS) into a new 0D/2D heterojunction (PCP-2F-Li Pdots/CNNS). The well-matched energy levels of PCP-2F-Li and CNNS and the strong electron-donating sulfinates in PCP-2F-Li can significantly accelerate the interfacial electron transfer in heterojunction, while the strong hydrophilicity of PCP-2F-Li can improve the interface wetting and promote the photocatalytic water-splitting. As such, PCP-2F-Li Pdots/CNNS can be used for efficient co-catalyst-free water splitting with a hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of 1932.1 μmol·h-1·g-1 over 6 runs, which is 1.85 and 2.29 times of hydrophobic F8T2 Pdots/CNNS and Pt-assisted CNNS, respectively. The apparent quantum yield (AQY) of PCP-2F-Li Pdots/CNNS can reach 7.87 %, 7.73 % and 5.60 % at 420, 450 and 475 nm, respectively. The findings highlight a new type of the Pdots-assisted heterojunctions for high-efficiency and durable co-catalyst-free water splitting.The selection of layered number and time-course destruction of layers may affect the charge transfer between 2D-to-1D heterostructure, making it possible to improve the efficiency of solar-to-hydrogen evolution. Herein, we demonstrate a simple, low-cost systematic protocol of 2D-WSe2 nanolayer numbers ranging from 7 to 60 aiding the ultrasonication time-course. The resultant nanolayers were assembled on the surface of 1D-CdS nanorods, which demonstrated an improved surface shuttling property. Consequently, a drastic improvement in photocatalytic solar-driven hydrogen evolution was observed (103.5 mmol h-1 g-1) with seven-layered WSe2 (few-layered WSe2) attached on CdS nanorods surface. This enhanced photocatalytic performance is attributed to the selection of layers on CdS surface that expose abundant active sites; along with suitable energy levels, this can facilitate increased charge transfer leading to feasible photocatalytic reactions. Significantly, the present study proposes an efficient and sustainable process to produce hydrogen and demonstrates the potential of numbered WSe2 nanosheets as a co-catalyst material.
