Recently, photoresponsive nanoparticles have been widely used to develop drug delivery systems (DDSs) wherein light is as an external stimulus trigger release in a spatially and temporally controlled fashion. Real time monitoring DDSs are also gaining much interest due their capability of situ. In this context we designed new real nanoparticle based on photoluminescent silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) using the o-nitrobenzyl (ONB) derivative phototrigger for anticancer chlorambucil (Cbl). The...
The lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery presents a promising rechargeable energy storage technology for the increasing demand in worldwide range. However, current main challenges Li–S are structural degradation and instability of solid-electrolyte interphase caused by dissolution polysulfides during cycling, resulting corrosion loss active materials. Herein, we developed novel hybrids employing metal–organic polyhedron (MOP) encapsulated PVP-functionalized sulfur nanoparticles (S@MOP), where...
In recent times, organelle-targeted drug delivery systems have gained tremendous attention due to the site-specific of active molecules, resulting in enhanced bioefficacy. this context, a phototriggered system (DDS) for releasing an molecule is superior, as it provides spatial and temporal control over release. So far, near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive DDS has not yet been developed. Hence, we introduced two-photon NIR lysosome-targeted "AIE + ESIPT" single-component based on naphthalene...
