Summary: The possibility of fabricating nanostructured ZnO layers on conductive glass substrates via simple room-temperature electrodeposition was investigated. The deposits' morphology, composition, and semiconducting properties were examined using various techniques. The photoelectrochemical performance of the ZnO photoanodes was found to be greatly influenced by the electrodeposition duration, with the most promising activity observed for the photoanode deposited at -1.5 V vs. SCE for 40 min.

Summary: In this study, AZO nanoparticles with different doping concentrations were successfully prepared by a one-step hydrothermal synthesis method, and their crystal structure, morphology, infrared absorption, infrared emission, and microwave loss properties were analyzed in detail. With the increase of the aluminum doping concentration, the grain size of AZO gradually increases, and the infrared emissivity first decreases and then increases, showing some fluctuations.

Summary: This study presents a reliable, scalable, and inexpensive technology for fabricating large-area ordered arrays of metal nanoparticles on various substrates. By using a two-step anodization process, nanoparticle arrays were formed on aluminum substrates with control over pore diameter, inter-pore spacing, and pore ordering. The ordered arrays were then transferred to other substrates by a polymer lift-off method. The results showed that cm(2) coverage of metal nanoparticles could be achieved on silicon, quartz, and sapphire substrates with average sizes ranging from 50-90 nm.

Summary: In this study, Al- and Cu-doped ZnO nanostructured films were deposited using a sputtering technique. Various analytical techniques were used to investigate the structural, electrical, and optical characteristics of the films. The results showed that doping with Al and Cu enhanced the conductivity and mobility of the films. The Al- and Cu-doped ZnO films also exhibited high optical transmission in the visible spectrum and slightly smaller optical bandgaps compared to undoped ZnO nanostructures. Solar cells assembled using the ZnO nanostructured films as photoelectrodes showed improved efficiencies.

Summary: The co-occurrence of nanoplastics with metal oxide nanoparticles and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has been widely studied, yet little is known about their interactions and combined toxic effects. This research found that increasing the concentration of metal oxide nanoparticles led to aggregation of nanoplastics, while polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons had no major impact on nanoplastic stability. The size of the nanoplastics played a role in genotoxicity, with smaller nanoplastics showing higher levels of DNA damage.

Summary: The study found that miR-20a upregulates PD-L1 expression and promotes the proliferation of NSCLC cells. PTEN negatively regulates the expression of PD-L1 and suppresses NSCLC cell proliferation by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Therefore, miR-20a could serve as a biomarker and therapeutic target for NSCLC.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.

Summary: In the study of BM-SCO and HSCO thin films, it was found that H vacancies tend to prefer sites near the external surface or oxygen vacancy channels (OVCs), while H interstitials prefer sites of oxygen on a layer that contains six-fold coordinated Co. These findings not only enrich the understanding of complex surface phenomena of defect formation but also provide an explanation for the reversibility during phase transformation.

Summary: This study explores the potential of biphenylene as a nanocarrier for the delivery of the anticancer drug cisplatin. It is found that biphenylene offers physical stability, rapid release rate, solubility, and bio-compatibilities compared to other nanocarriers. The adsorption of cisplatin on the surface of biphenylene involves charge transfer from cisplatin to biphenylene. The drug is shown to be released at body temperature in an acidic environment. Biphenylene also exhibits excellent cytotoxicity activity and cellular uptake of the drug. Overall, biphenylene shows promise as a potential nanocarrier for cisplatin delivery.

Summary: In this study, a potential platform to enhance Raman scattering and increase the number of observable Raman modes in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) was proposed. The platform consisted of large-scale arrays of gold micropillars (MPs), which were able to enhance the Raman intensity of TMDs and make difficult-to-detect Raman modes observable. The platform showed great industrial advantages and wide applicability due to its low cost, simple process, large controllable area, and short process time.
