Up-Converting Lanthanide Fluoride Core@Shell Nanorods for Luminescent Thermometry in the First and Second Biological Windows - β-NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+@SiO2 Temperature Sensor
摘要： Up-converting core@shell type β-NaYF4:Yb3+-Er3+@SiO2 nanorods have been obtained by a two-step synthesis process, which encompasses hydrothermal and microemulsion routes. The synthesized nanomaterial forms stable aqueous colloids and exhibits a bright dual-center emission (λex= 975 nm), i.e. up-conversion luminescence of Er3+ and down-shifting emission of Yb3+, located in the first (I-BW) and the second (II-BW) biological windows of the spectral range. The intensity ratios of the emission bands of Er3+ and Yb3+ observed in the Vis-NIR range monotonously change with temperature, i.e. the thermalized Er3+ levels (2H11/2→4I15/2/4S3/2→4I15/2) and the non-thermally coupled Yb3+/Er3+ levels (2F5/2→2F7/2/4I9/2→4I15/2 or 4F9/2→4I15/2). Hence, their thermal evolutions have been correlated with temperature using the Boltzmann type distribution and 2-th order polynomial fits for temperature sensing purposes, i.e. Er3+ 525/545 nm (max Sr = 1.31 %K-1) and Yb3+/Er3+ 1010/810 nm (1.64 %K-1) or 1010/660 nm (0.96 %K-1). Additionally, a fresh chicken breast was used as a tissue imitation in the performed ex vivo experiment, showing the advantage of the use of NIR Yb3+/Er3+ bands, vs. the typically used Er3+ 525/545 nm band ratio, i.e. better penetration of the luminescence signal through the tissue in the I-BW and II-BW. Such nanomaterials can be utilized as accurate and effective, broad-range Vis-NIR optical, contactless sensors of temperature.

Zwitterionic near-infrared fluorophore-conjugated epidermal growth factor for fast, real-time, and target-cell-specific cancer imaging
摘要： Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in many types of cancers, which is associated with metastatic potential and poor prognosis in cancer patients. Therefore, development of EGFR-targeted sensitive imaging probes has been a challenge in tumor targeting, image-guided cancer surgery, patient-selective anti-EGFR therapy, and efficient targeted therapies. Methods: We synthesized a zwitterionic near-infrared fluorophore (ATTO655)-conjugated epidermal growth factor (EGF) as a novel activatable molecular probe. Fluorescence OFF/ON property and EGFR-targeting specificity of EGF-ATTO655 as well as its utility in real-time near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging of EGFR-positive cancers were evaluated using in vitro and in vivo studies. Results: When conjugated to EGF, the fluorescence of ATTO655 quenched efficiently by photo-induced electron transfer (PET) mechanism between the conjugated dyes and nearby amino acid quenchers (tryptophan/tyrosine residues), which was stably maintained at physiological pH and in the presence of serum for at least 17 h. The fluorescence of EGF-ATTO655 turned on by receptor-mediated endocytosis and subsequent disintegration of EGF in EGFR-positive A431 cancer cells, thereby enabling specific and real-time fluorescence imaging of EGFR-positive cancer cells. Consequently, EGFR-positive tumors could be clearly visualized 3 h post-injection with a significantly high tumor-to-background ratio (TBR = 6.37). Conclusion: This PET mechanism-based OFF/ON type of EGF probe showed great potential for rapid, real-time, and target-cell-specific imaging of EGFR-overexpressing cancers in vitro and in vivo.

A through-bond energy transfer-based ratiometric fluorescent pH probe: For extreme acidity and extreme alkaline detection with large emission shifts
摘要： A ratiometric fluorescence pH probe 1 based on through-bond energy transfer (TBET) with a 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (HBO) as donor and a Rhodamine derivative as acceptor is developed through simple condensation reaction. The probe exhibits a ratiometric fluorescence emission (I593/I422) characteristics and linear response to extreme acidity range of 5.00-2.88, and a ratiometric fluorescence emission (I555/I422) characteristics and linear response to extreme alkaline range of 10.00-13.78, respectively. Moreover, 1 possesses highly selective response to pH over metal ions, good reversibility and excellent photostability. Probe 1 is cellpermeable and can distinguish near pH 5.55 fluctuations in Hela cells. Furthermore, 1 can be immobilized on a test paper, which shows a rapid and reversible colorimetric response to HCl/NH3 vapor by the naked-eye.

Light Controlled In Vitro Gene Delivery Using Polymer-Tethered Spiropyran as a Photoswitchable Photosensitizer
摘要： A gene delivery system using spiropyran as a photoswitchable photosensitizer for controlled photochemical internalization effect was developed by engineering the outer coating of polyethylenimine/DNA complex with a small amount of spiropyran-containing cationic copolymers. The successful binding of cationic polymers by the polyethylenimine coating was detected by the distance-sensitive fluorescence resonance energy transfer technique that evidenced occurrence of energy transfer between fluorescein-labeled cationic copolymers and polyethylenimine-condensed rhodamine-labeled DNA. The ternary polyplexes feature reversible controllability of singlet oxygen generation based on the dual effect of spiropyrans in photochromism and aggregation-induced enhanced photosensitization, allowing significant light-induced amplification of bPEI-mediated in vitro transgene efficiency (from original 15% to final 91%) at a low DNA dose, with the integrity of supercoiled DNA structure unaffected. The use of spiropyran without the need of other photosensitizers circumvents the issue of uncontrolled long-lasting photocytotoxicity in gene delivery.

Chemically exfoliated 1T-phase transition metal dichalcogenide nanosheets for transparent antibacterial applications
摘要： Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising materials for a range of applications owing to their intriguing properties including the excellent electrical performance and biocompatibility. Strikingly, 1T-phase TMDs have attracted significant interest based on their metallic properties with octahedral metal coordination where the phase transition can occur from the semiconducting 2H-phase to metallic 1T-phase by chemical intercalation-induced exfoliation process. In this regard, 1T-phase TMDs have great potential in antibacterial agents in terms of effective charge transfer between the bacterial membrane and TMD nanosheets while their biological interactions have been underexplored. To bridge this gap, we herein investigate the antibacterial activities of various 1T-phase TMDs including molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), tungsten disulfide (WS2), and molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) toward Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli that exhibit the reduction of bacterial viability caused by the production of reactive oxygen species, oxidation of glutathione and other chemical functionalities. The effective antibacterial capacity of metallic 1T-phase TMDs is observed and their bactericidal mechanisms are investigated in terms of their electrical conductivity and chemical oxidation property that induce the charge transfer from bacterial membrane to TMDs leading to the continuous disruption of bacteria and loss of cellular components. Furthermore, we demonstrated the transparent antibacterial films consisting of 1T-phase TMDs in which TMD nanosheets are immobilized on the surfaces and their basal planes play an important role in antibacterial actions for practical biomedical applications. Thus, our findings provide new insights into the great potential of 1T-phase TMDs as promising building blocks for antibacterial surfaces and contribute to the widespread use of 1T-phase TMDs for practical biomedical applications.

AIE active fluorescent organic nanoaggregates for selective detection of phenolic-nitroaromatic explosives and cell imaging
摘要： Development of organic nanoparticles with high fluorescence, good biocompatibility along with strong resistance to photobleaching through simple synthetic routes is important for diverse applications such as sensing and bioimaging. Herein, we present the development of a pyrene excimer nanoaggregate which shows aggregation induced emission (AIE) effect in a solvent mixture of THF and water. The pyrene based fluorescent probe, dimethyl-5-(pyren-1-ylmethyleneamino)isophthalate (5-DP) was synthesized through a simple single step condensation reaction from inexpensive reagents. The photophysical studies of nanoaggregated system further corroborates the AIE active behavior of 5-DP probe at different water fractions (?w = 0% to 90%), where the hydrogen bonding interaction between imine and water molecules led to suppression of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) inducing significant enhancement in fluorescence. The highly photostable nanoaggregates were explored as a selective fluorescence “turn off” sensor for phenolic nitroaromatics and the chemo-selectivity was highly pronounced for 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid), that showed efficient quenching in aqueous as well as solid phase, with a detection limit of 10 nM in aqueous medium. The quenching efficiency of the nanoaggregates can be ascribed to a combination of factors including efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer, inner filter effect and coulombic interaction between picric acid and the aggregated probe molecules. Further, random aggregation of the pyrene derivative could be controlled for the formation of fluorescent spherical nanoparticles using Pluoronics P-123 block copolymers as encapsulating agents. The resulting composite could be used as a neoteric cell imaging probe with significantly less cytotoxicity, thus showing their potential biological applications.

Understanding the Impact of Cu-In-Ga-S Nanoparticles Compactness on Holes Transfer of Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： Although a compact holes-transport-layer (HTL) ?lm has always been deemed mandatory for perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the impact their compactness on the device performance has rarely been studied in detail. In this work, based on a device structure of FTO/CIGS/perovskite/PCBM/ZrAcac/Ag, that effect was systematically investigated with respect to device performance along with photo-physics characterization tools. Depending on spin-coating speed, the grain size and coverage ratio of those CIGS ?lms on FTO substrates can be tuned, and this can result in different hole transfer ef?ciencies at the anode interface. At a speed of 4000 r.p.m., the band level offset between the perovskite and CIGS modi?ed FTO was reduced to a minimum of 0.02 eV, leading to the best device performance, with conversion ef?ciency of 15.16% and open-circuit voltage of 1.04 V, along with the suppression of hysteresis. We believe that the balance of grain size and coverage ratio of CIGS interlayers can be tuned to an optimal point in the competition between carrier transport and recombination at the interface based on the proposed mechanism. This paper de?nitely deepens our understanding of the hole transfer mechanism at the interface of PSC devices, and facilitates future design of high-performance devices.

Z-scheme Bi2WO6/CuBi2O4 heterojunction mediated by interfacial electric field for efficient visible-light photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline
摘要： In order for the removal of Tetracycline (TC) in wastewaters, an efficient binary Bi2WO6/CuBi2O4 Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was synthesized by loading Bi2WO6 (BWO) nanoparticles on CuBi2O4 (CBO) nanorods via a solvothermal route. The obtained Bi2WO6/CuBi2O4 composite displays photocatalytic activity for TC degradation more than five times higher than that for pure CBO nanorods. The recycling experiment shows that over 91% of TC can be photo-degraded by the optimal Bi2WO6/CuBi2O4 photocatalyst within 60 min even after four cycles. Results of SEM, transient photocurrent response, EIS measurement prove that solvothermal process for BWO loading can introduce rough surface with high-density negative charge on CBO, contributing to effective photo-induced carrier transfer. XPS, Mott?Schottky plots and PL spectra reveal that the loading of BWO as well as interfacial charge redistribution can induce the formation of interfacial electric field for Z-scheme heterojunction, contributing to the high oxidation and reduction capabilities ability of Bi2WO6/CuBi2O4 composite. The study on photocatalytic mechanism discloses that hole (h+) and superoxide radical (?O2?) are dominating reactive oxidation species (ROS) in the photodegradation process. This study has provided a novel route to fabricate Z-scheme photocatalysts for effective photocatalytic degradation processes.

Construction of novel Z-scheme Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 system with enhanced electron transfer capacity for visible light photocatalytic degradation of sulfanilamide
摘要： A novel Z-scheme system, Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 with enhanced electron transfer capacity was constructed for degrading sulfanilamide (SAM) using solar light. The photocatalytic activity of Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 was investigated. The effects of the mass ratio (ZnFe2O4:BiTaO4), doped V dose, Ag wt.% content, and irradiation time on the catalytic performance were evaluated. The reasonable mechanism of Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 solar photocatalytic degradation was also presented. These results reveal Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 possesses enhanced photocatalytic performance. The loaded Ag as electron mediator increases the electron transfer rate. Particularly, the doped V and the Fe ions from ZnFe2O4 form a powerful electron driving force, which enhances the electron transfer capacity. Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 shows optimal photocatalytic performance at 2.0 wt.% Ag and 0.5% doped V dose (ZnFe2O4:BiTaO4=1.0:0.5). Also, Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 exhibits high stability and repeatability in photocatalytic degradation. Several active species (?OH, ?O2?, and h+) are produced in the Z-scheme photodegradation of SAM. These results on the enhanced photocatalytic activity of Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 are ascribed to synergistic photocatalytic effects of ZnFe2O4 and BiTa1-xVxO4 mediated through Ag and driven by doped V and Fe ions. Therefore, the Z-scheme Ag/ZnFe2O4/Ag/BiTa1-xVxO4 photocatalytic technology proves to be promising for the solar photocatalytic treatment of antibiotics under solar light.

Synthesis, energy transfer and multicolor luminescent property of Eu3+-doped LiCa2Mg2V3O12 phosphors for warm white light-emitting diodes
摘要： In this study, Eu3+-doped LiCa2Mg2V3O12 (LCMVO) phosphors with multicolor luminescent property were prepared by the solid phase reaction. Their structure, morphology and luminescent property were studied systematically by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and photoluminescence spectra. The LCMVO phosphors showed pure cubic crystal structure with space group (3Ia d ) and irregular spherical morphology. The excitation spectra showed a strong absorption to ultraviolet light. Under the excitation wavelength at 360 nm, they exhibited a cyan emission with a luminescence center at 520 nm. When Eu3+ ions were doped into LCMVO system, the Eu3+ characteristic emissions were also observed and the emission colors were tuned from cyan to orange via adjusting Eu3+ ion concentration. Further, electric dipole-quadrupole interaction and luminescence decay curves were adopted to explain the energy transfer from (VO4)3- to Eu3+. The emission spectra of as-obtained phosphors at different temperature were measured to evaluate their thermal stability. The quantum efficiency values were measured to be 42.5% for LCMVO host and 38.6% for LCMVO: 0.01Eu3+ sample. The final prepared LED lamp showed easeful warm white light with suitable Ra of 89 and CCT of 3847 K, respectively. These results suggest LCMVO phosphors may be applied in near ultraviolet chip-excited white light-emitting diodes.
