Summary: This study presents a simple and feasible method to synthesize plasmonic gold nanodendrites (AuNDs) with strong and characteristic absorption in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window, using a carbon dots-mediated growth strategy. The AuNDs exhibit broadband absorption and two characteristic absorption peaks, and demonstrate good photothermal conversion efficiency. They can be applied for NIR-II photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy.

Summary: In this study, the colloidal stability, photothermal profile, thermal stability, cytotoxicity, and photo-cytotoxicity of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) coupled with gold nanorods (AuNRs) and graphene oxide (GO)-coated AuNRs were investigated. The results showed that AuNRs/GQDs had higher stability and better photothermal stability compared to AuNRs/GO. Both composites demonstrated biocompatibility with cancer cell lines and improved cell death when exposed to laser irradiation. However, AuNRs/GO exhibited higher photo-toxicity than AuNRs/GQDs. This study highlights the potential of using AuNRs/GQDs and AuNRs/GO composites in photothermal applications.

Summary: Theoretically, excellent non-toxic fluorescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence have been achieved for bio-imaging and sensing applications. Cheap and non-toxic sulfur and its group elements were used for doping. The effect of doping position on energy band gap, absorption, and fluorescence properties was studied. The highest quantum yield (QY) of 26% in NIR was obtained for sulfur-doped GQDs (S-GQD: C52S2H18), which is higher than the previous 7% and the first reported high QY in NIR.

Summary: This study presents a new design of p-n junction sonosensitizers for enhanced sonodynamic therapy (SDT) of tumors. The sonosensitizer combines partially oxidized LiFePO4 nanorods and renal-clearable n-type N-doped CDs (N-CDs) to achieve effective spatial separation of electron-hole pairs generated by ultrasound, resulting in enhanced SDT effects. The constructed sonosensitizer exhibits high efficiency in generating reactive oxygen species, consuming free radicals, and reacting with overexpressed GSH. Additionally, the sonosensitizer can be safely eliminated from the body through renal clearance after completion of the SDT treatment.

Summary: This study presents an innovative approach to improve the photovoltaic conversion characteristics and stability of perovskite solar cells through carbon electrode interface modification. By in-situ polymerization and carbonization on the surface of nano-graphite, a dendritic structure carbon electrode is formed, reducing the work function and aligning the energy levels with perovskite. This leads to improved charge and hole collection efficiency, resulting in increased photovoltaic conversion efficiency. Furthermore, the modified carbon electrode-based perovskite solar cells exhibit exceptional stability, maintaining high efficiency even without encapsulation.

Summary: This study demonstrates the improvement of mechanical properties and reduction of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in graphene oxide (GO)/epoxy (EP) nanocomposites by enhancing the interface between GO and EP through functionalization and incorporating rigid-flexible interphases. The results reveal that the SiO2-PEA-GO hybrid exhibits better strengthening and toughening effects, as well as lower CTE, compared to the PEA-GO hybrid due to the presence of rigid-flexible interfaces with higher bonding strength and better energy dissipation mechanisms. Additionally, the nanocomposites with longer polyetheramine (PEA) molecules in the rigid-flexible interphases demonstrate higher strength and toughness, while maintaining a lower CTE. This work provides a promising strategy for constructing adjustable flexible-rigid interfacial structures and offers potential in developing GO/EP nanocomposites with high mechanical properties and low CTE.
