A biomimetic self-assembled cobaloxime@CdS/rGO hybrid for boosting photocatalytic H <sub/>2</sub> production
摘要： A biomimetic CoPe@CdS/rGO hybrid that self-assembles via the integration of a molecular cobalt catalyst and CdS nano-semiconductor on reduced graphene oxide was constructed for boosting photocatalytic H2 production. Photoinduced electron transfer from CdS/rGO to the molecular catalyst occurs and a long-lived charge-separation state forms for high H2 production.

Long-range hierarchical nanocrystal assembly driven by molecular structural transformation
摘要： The hierarchical control in biogenic minerals, from precise nanomorphology control to subsequent macroscopic assembly, remains a formidable challenge in artificial synthesis. Studies in biomineralization, however, are largely limited to atomic/molecular scale crystallization, devoting little attention to biomolecular higher order structures (HOSs) which impact critically on long-range assembly of biominerals. Here we demonstrate a biomimetic route that explores peptide HOSs on guiding nanocrystal formation and anisotropic assembly into hierarchical structures. It is found that Pt{100} specific peptide T7 (Ac-TLTTLTN-CONH2) adopts ST-turn, promoting cubic Pt nanocrystal formation at low concentration, and spontaneously transforms into β-sheet with increased concentration. The β-sheet T7-Pt{100} specificity drives cubic Pt nanocrystals to self-assemble into large-area, long-range, [100] linear assemblies. This study provides a robust demonstration for bio/non-biogenic material specificity, nanoscale synthesis, and long-range self-organization with biomolecular HOSs, and opens vast opportunities for multiscale programmable structures.

Recent Advances in Cell Membrane-Camouflaged Nanoparticles for Cancer Phototherapy
摘要： Phototherapy including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) employs phototherapeutic agents to generate heat or cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), and has therefore garnered particular interest for cancer therapy. However, the main challenges faced by conventional phototherapeutic agents include easy recognition by the immune system, rapid clearance from blood circulation, and low accumulation in target sites. Cell-membrane coating has emerged as a potential way to overcome these limitations, owing to the abundant proteins on the surface of cell membranes that can be inherited to the cell membrane–camouflaged nanoparticles. This review summarizes the recent advances in the development of biomimetic cell membrane–camouflaged nanoparticles for cancer phototherapy. Different sources of cell membranes can be used to coat nanoparticles using different coating approaches. After cell-membrane coating, the photophysical properties of the original phototherapeutic nanoparticles remain nearly unchanged; however, the coated nanoparticles are equipped with additional physiological features including immune escape, in vivo prolonged circulation time, or homologous targeting, depending on the cell sources. Moreover, the coated cell membrane can be ablated from phototherapeutic nanoparticles under laser irradiation, leading to drug release and thus synergetic therapy. By combining other supplementary agents to normalize tumor microenvironment, cell-membrane coating can further enhance the therapeutic efficacy against cancer.

A biomimetic nanoreactor for synergistic chemiexcited photodynamic therapy and starvation therapy against tumor metastasis
摘要： Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is ineffective against deeply seated metastatic tumors due to poor penetration of the excitation light. Herein, we developed a biomimetic nanoreactor (bio-NR) to achieve synergistic chemiexcited photodynamic-starvation therapy against tumor metastasis. Photosensitizers on the hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) are excited by chemical energy in situ of the deep metastatic tumor to generate singlet oxygen (1O2) for PDT, and glucose oxidase (GOx) catalyzes glucose into hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Remarkably, this process not only blocks the nutrient supply for starvation therapy but also provides H2O2 to synergistically enhance PDT. Cancer cell membrane coating endows the nanoparticle with biological properties of homologous adhesion and immune escape. Thus, bio-NRs can effectively convert the glucose into 1O2 in metastatic tumors. The excellent therapeutic effects of bio-NRs in vitro and in vivo indicate their great potential for cancer metastasis therapy.

Nanostructured Titania Templated by Natural Cellulose Substance: Effect of Vanadium-Doping on the Anatase-to-Rutile Phase Transformation
摘要： Vanadium-doped rutile titania nanomaterial was synthesized by calcination of titania/vanadia composite thin gel films pre-coated natural cellulose substance (e.g., ordinary filter paper) at a relatively low temperature (600 °C). A better mixture of titanium and vanadium species is achieved during the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition process with cellulose nanofiber as a template, leading to more vanadium dopants incorporated in the titania crystal lattices. By sufficient vanadium-doping, the phase transformation temperature from anatase to rutile phase of titania is decreased effectively. The doping mode and existing state of vanadium in the titania nanomaterials and the effect on the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation have been studied. This strategy provides a facile and effective route to facilitate the phase transformation of various nanostructured metal oxides templated by natural cellulose substance through doping appropriate functional metal ions in the LbL deposition process.

Hypericin photodynamic activity in DPPC liposome. PART I: biomimetism of loading, location, interactions and thermodynamic properties
摘要： Hypericin (Hyp) is a potential photosensitizer drug for Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). However, the high lipophilicity of Hyp prevents its preparation in water. To overcome the Hyp solubility problem, this study uses the liposomal vesicle of DPPC. Otherwise liposome is also one of the most employed artificial systems that mimetizes cell membranes. Our present focus is the interaction of Hyp into DPPC liposome as biomimetic system. We studied the loading, interaction, and localization of Hyp (2.8 μmol L?1) in DPPC (5.4 mmol L?1) liposomes, as well as the thermodynamic aspects of Hyp-liposomes. The Hyp addition to the DPPC liposome dispersion showed a Encapsulation Efficiency for [Hyp] = 2.8 μmol L?1 in [DPPC] = 5.3 mmol L?1 of 74.3% and 89.3% at 30.0 and 50.0 °C, respectively. The encapsulation profile obeys a pseudo first-order kinetic law, with a rate constant of 1.26 × 10?3 s?1 at 30.0 °C. Also the data suggests this reaction is preceded by an extremely rapid step. A study on the binding of Hyp/DPPC liposomes (Kb), performed at several temperatures, showed results of 4.8 and 18.5 × 103 L mol?1 at 293 and 323 K, respectively. Additionally, a decrease was observed in the ΔG of the Hyp/DPPC interaction (?20.6 and ? 26.4 kL mol?1 at 293 and 323 K, respectively). The resulting ΔH > 0 with ΔS < 0 shows that the entropy is driven the process. Studies of Hyp location in the liposome at 298 K revealed the existence of two different Hyp populations with a Stern-Volmer constant (Ksv) of 4.65 and 1.87 L mol?1 using iodide as an aquo-suppressor at concentration ranged from 0 to 0.025 mol L?1 and from 0.025 to 0.150 mol L?1, respectively. Furthermore, studies of Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer, using DPH as a donor and Hyp as an acceptor, revealed that Hyp is allocated in different binding sites of the liposome. This is dependent on temperature. Thermal studies revealed that the Hyp/DPPC formulation presented reasonable stability. Size and morphological investigations showed that Hyp incorporation increases the average size of DPPC liposomes from 116 to 154 nm. The study demonstrated the ability of the Hyp-DPPC liposome as an interesting system for drug delivery system that can be applied to PDT.

Nanoparticles at Biomimetic Interfaces: A Combined Experimental and Simulation Study on Charged Gold Nanoparticles/Lipid Bilayers Interfaces
摘要： The poor understanding of the interaction of nanomaterials with biologically relevant interfaces is recognized as one of the major issues currently limiting the development of nanomedicine. The central purpose of this study is to compare experimental (Confocal Microscopy, Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy, X-ray Reflectivity) and computational (Molecular Dynamics simulations) results to thoroughly describe the interaction of cationic gold nanoparticles (AuNP) with mixed zwitterionic/anionic lipid membranes. The adhesion of AuNPs to the lipid membrane is investigated on different length scales from a structural and dynamical point of view; with this approach, a series of complex phenomena, spanning from lipid extraction, localized membrane disruption, lateral phase separation and slaved diffusion, are characterized and interpreted from a molecular level to macroscopic observations.

Biomimetic Hierarchical TiO <sub/>2</sub> @CuO Nanowire Arrays-Coated Copper Meshes with Superwetting and Self-Cleaning Properties for Efficient Oil/Water Separation
摘要： Creating a practical and energy-efficient method with high efficiency to separate oil–water mixtures and emulsions is essential for sustainable aquatic ecosystem and waste oil recycling. Herein, we reported a completely inorganic hierarchical TiO2@CuO nanowire array-coated copper mesh membrane fabricated using chemical oxidation and hydrothermal recrystallization. The biomimetic hierarchical nano-/micro-structure can form a lotus-leaf-like interface with fine surface roughness and hydration ability, thus endows the membrane superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic nature. Thus, the as-synthesized TiO2@CuO nanowire array-coated copper mesh membrane demonstrated promising water flux of 87.6 kL·h-1·m-2 and ultrahigh separation efficiency with oil residue of only 12.4 mg·L-1 in the permeate. Moreover, the uniformly immobilized TiO2 nanoparticles exhibit UV-irradiated photocatalytic ability, which can be effectively regenerate the contaminated membrane after exposure to UV irradiations for 60 min. Therefore, this high efficiency, reusable, and easy-scalable membrane fabrication strategy may possess practical potential for next-generation oil/water separation application.

Structure of a Graphene-Modified Electroactive Polymer for Membranes of Biomimetic Systems: Simulation and Experiment
摘要： A model is proposed that describes the structure of water filled Nafion-graphene composite forming the body of an electroactive polymer membrane for actuators of biomimetic systems able to work in air and a liquid medium. The model predicts the growth of the ionic conductivity with increasing concentration of a graphene modifier, which is due to that the size of a part of clusters of the Nafion framework containing hydrophobic graphene flakes enlarges together with the pore size. Then the optimal concentration of the graphene modifier is reached, which provides the maximum ionic conductivity and actuation ability of the membrane as well as its elastic properties. The possibility of introducing into Nafion the modifier amount needed to improve the actuator operation is experimentally tested.
