Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) based gas sensors have been considered a promising candidate for detection over the past few years. However, sensing properties of MOS-based also need to be further enhanced satisfy higher requirements specific applications, such as medical diagnosis on human breath, in harsh environments, etc. In these fields, excellent selectivity, low power consumption, fast response/recovery rate, humidity dependence and limit concentration should fulfilled simultaneously,...
Theoretical calculations reveal that intrinsic pentagons in the basal plane can contribute to local electronic redistribution and contraction of band gap, making carbon matrix possess superior binding affinity electrochemical reactivity. To experimentally verify this, a pentagon-defect-rich nanomaterial was constructed by means situ etching fullerene molecules (C60 ). The tests show that, relative hexagons, such carbon-based material with abundant pentagon defects makes much greater...
Developing a facile and cost-efficient method to synthesize carbon-based nanomaterials possessing excellent structural functional properties has become one of the most attractive topics in energy conversion storage fields. In this study, density theory calculation results reveal origin high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity predominantly derived from synergistic effect intrinsic defects heteroatom dopants (e.g., N, S) that modulate bandgap charge distribution carbon matrix. Under...
Metal-free carbon-based materials are considered one of the most promising two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e– ORR) electrocatalysts for green synthesis hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). However, reported carbon perform much more effectively in alkalis than acids. Herein, by creatively using fullerene (C60) as precursor subject to ammonia treatment, we designed and synthesized a pentagonal defect-rich nitrogen-doped nanomaterial (PD/N–C). It achieves outstanding ORR activity, 2e–...
Two major challenges facing cancer immunotherapy are the relatively low therapeutic efficacy and potential side effects. New drug delivery system efficient combination required to overcome these challenges. We utilize an alginate hydrogel locally deliver 2 FDA-approved drugs, celecoxib programmed death 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody (mAb), treat tumor-bearing mice. In two models, B16-F10 melanoma 4T1 metastatic breast cancer, significantly improves antitumor activities of (CXB), PD-1 mAb, or...
To improve the gas-sensing performance of metal-oxide-semiconductors, effect defects on properties has been widely investigated. Nevertheless, although metal cation defect is dominative acceptor in p-type semiconductors, its remains blank, which leads to a hindrance for further developing semiconductor-based gas sensors. Accordingly, eleborate sensing properties, mesoporous NiO nanosheets with different amounts nickel vacancies were prepared by annealing at temperatures. It was found that...
Severe side effects of cancer chemotherapy prompt developing better drug delivery systems. Injectable hydrogels are an effective site-target system. For most injectable hydrogels, once delivered in vivo, some properties including release and degradation, which critical to chemotherapeutic safety, challenging monitor. Developing a system for therapy with vivo real-time noninvasive trackability is highly desired. Although fluorescence dyes used imaging the cytotoxicity limits their...
