Repression of melanoma tumor in vitro and in vivo by photothermal effect of carbon xerogel nanoparticles
摘要： A N U S C RIP T including photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer. Since conventional strategies of cancer treatment have not responded to this serious disease, development of efficient alternative and promising strategies is highly desirable. In this study, carbon xerogel nanoparticles (CX-NPs) were synthesized as a novel photothermal nanomaterial and activated upon laser light of 808-nm wavelength for cancer phototherapy application. The synthesized CX-NPs had a spherical shape with a size of about 16 nm that showed nice photothermal conversion ability. Upon light irradiation with a power density of 1.0 W cm-2 for 15 min, a temperature increment occurred. A concentration-dependent cytotoxicity was also obtained for CX-NPs toward the C540 (B16/F10) cell line upon light irradiation, while CX-NPs presented biocompatibility in the mice model in dark. Photothermal property of CX-NPs efficiently led to reduction in the cell viability. A low-dose of CX-NPs was also applied in PTT of a melanoma tumor-bearing animal model. Based on tumor histopathological evaluations and volume change measurements in mice, a very good control of tumor situations after PTT by CX-NPs was attained. The findings revealed that CX-NPs is a good and novel photoabsorber for PTT of cancer.

Controllable Synthesis of Special Reed-Leaf-Like Carbon Nanostructures Using Copper Containing Catalytic Pyrolysis for High-Performance Field Emission
摘要： Special reed-leaf-like carbon nanostructures have been realized by using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) under the combined action of copper containing catalytic pyrolysis and ammonia (NH3) gas. The nucleation and growth mechanisms of CNLs based on growth parameters are discussed. The Raman spectra of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), CNLs and CNT-CNL composites were measured and found to be strongly influenced by the type of gas. Field emission (FE) properties of CNL-CNT composites were observed with a lower turn-on electric field of 0.73 V/μm, and a higher current density of 18.0 mA/cm2 at an electric field of 2.65 V/μm, which are superior to those of CNTs and flower-like CNLs. This is because there are more field emitters in CNLs inter-planted in CNTs. We consider that the unique FE stability of CNTs and defects in CNLs play a synergetic role on the improved FE properties.
