The surface of Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets (TC NSs) was first modified with the antioxidants sodium ascorbate (SA) and dopamine (DA) (DSTC NS) to improve their stability in oxidative hydration environments thereby bioapplications. This novel approach not only improved by arresting oxidation but also increased available functional groups for further functionalization various biomolecules. DSTC NSs were then sequentially conjugated enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx) photosensitizer Ce6 render obtained...

Of the most common, hypoxia, overexpressed glutathione (GSH), and insufficient H2O2 concentration in tumor microenvironment (TME) are main barriers to advancment of reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated Xdynamic therapies (X = photo, chemodynamic, chemo). Maximizing Fenton catalytic efficiency is crucial chemodynamic therapy (CDT), yet endogenous levels not sufficient attain better anticancer efficacy. Specifically, there a need amplify reactivity within tumors, leveraging unique attributes...

Achieving polymer nanocomposites with improved elasticity and stable mechanical fluorescence properties remains challenging due to the aggregation tendency of fluorescent carbon nanomaterials, particularly for a no functional groups. To alleviate aforementioned issues, "grafting from" method can be employed via covalent bonding design. Herein, we exploit coupled reversible fragment-added chain transfer polymerization construct soft polyisoprene (PI) chains onto photostable nitrogen, sulfur,...

In this study, for the first time, red-emitting CsMgxPb1-xI3 quantum dots (QDs) are prepared by doping with magnesium (Mg) ions via one-pot microwave pyrolysis technique. The X-ray diffraction and photoelectron spectroscopy results have confirmed partial substitution of Pb2+ Mg2+ inside CsPbI3 framework. as-synthesized QDs exhibited excellent morphology, higher yield (upto ∼89%), better photostability storage stability than undoped CsPbI3. Next, bioavailability hydrophobic is improved...

Combining phototherapy with the cancer cell metabolic pathway altering strategies, that is, glucose starvation, would be a promising approach to accomplish high curative efficiency of treatment. Accordingly, herein, we sought construct multifunctional biomimetic hybrid nanoreactor by fastening nanozyme AuNPs (glucose oxidase activity) and PtNPs (catalase peroxidase photosensitizer Indocyanine green (ICG) onto polydopamine (PDA) surface (ICG/Au/Pt@PDA–PEG) attain superior killing though...

In recent studies, iron-containing Fenton nanocatalysts have demonstrated significant promise for clinical use due to their effective antitumor activity and low cytotoxicity. A new approach was reported in this work utilizing cation exchange synthesis fabricate FeMnOx nanoparticles (NPs) that boost reactions responses the tumor microenvironment (TME) chemodynamic therapy (CDT) chemotherapy (CT). Within TME, redox metal pair of Fe2+/Mn2+ helps break down endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)...

The practical application of liquid electrolyte-constructed quantum-dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) is far from satisfactory due to the short-term performance, poor TiO 2 penetration, leakage, and volatilization electrolytes. In this respect, three most critical problems with QDSSCs are addressed in research: (i) low open-circuit voltage (V OC ); (ii) Â fill factor (FF), thereby, efficiency; and, (iii) device's performance stability over time. Herein, a simple approach fabricate...
