Summary: A ligand design strategy using mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) and inorganic ligands (ILs) as dual ligands on the surface of quantum dots (QDs) is developed to enhance the loading amount and optoelectronic performance of QD sensitizers. The ILs not only facilitate QD loading but also reduce interdot repulsion and form dense QD layers, while the pseudohalide SCN- has a passivation effect on QD surfaces and suppresses defect trap states. As a result, QDSCs based on dual SCN/MPA ligands achieve a certified efficiency of 16.10%, a new record for liquid junction QD solar cells.

Summary: Photothermal therapy is an effective alternative to antibiotics for bacterial infection, but its development is hindered by the poor tissue penetration and photothermal effect of short-wavelength excitation light. In this study, hybrid plasmonic Au/ZnSe nanodumbbell heterostructures were designed and synthesized for enhanced antibacterial photothermal therapy under near-infrared II light irradiation.

Summary: By fabricating mannose-decorated/macrophage membrane-coated, silica-layered NaErF4@NaLuF4 upconverting nanoparticles, we were able to switch the phenotype of macrophages from M2 type to M1 type, which led to the release of proinflammatory cytokines and the suppression of breast cancer. These nanoparticles showed efficient singlet oxygen generation and good targeting to tumor-associated macrophages, and exhibited significant cytotoxicity to cancer cells both in 2D and 3D culture systems. Moreover, they effectively suppressed tumor growth in mice.

Summary: This work presents a nanoplatform for deep-tissue photodynamic therapy and imaging using upconverting nanoparticles functionalized with eosin Y (EY) as photosensitizers. The nanoparticles can be excited by 800 nm near infrared light, allowing better penetration and minimal thermal load. Additionally, the combination with UCNPs enables the transport of EY into the cell and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under 800 nm light. The functionalized UCNPs also exhibit deep tissue NIR-II fluorescence under 808 nm excitation, making them potential bioimaging agents.

Summary: In this study, (NaYF4:Yb,Er) microparticles dispersed in water and ethanol were used to convert 980 nm infrared light into 540 nm visible light through a nonlinear two-photon process. The intensity of the upconverted 540 nm light was increased by a factor of three by placing IR-reflecting mirrors on four sides of the cuvette containing the microparticles. Microparticle-coated lenses were also designed and constructed to enable the visualization of intense infrared light images converted to visible.

Summary: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a global pandemic. The virus has rapidly evolved, leading to the emergence of major variants. The spike protein, particularly the stable prefusion spike protein (Pre), is the main immunogen in current vaccines. However, it has limitations in protecting against different variants. This study investigated the immune responses induced by the relatively conserved stem subunit (S2) of the spike protein compared to Pre. The results showed that Pre generated the most robust neutralization responses against SARS-CoV-2 variants, while S2 induced more balanced immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies with potent and broad antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity. By incorporating the two proteins into double-layered protein nanoparticles, the immunogenicity of both S2 and Pre was improved. The resulting nanoparticles, Pre/S2, elicited higher neutralizing antibodies and stronger ADCC activity compared to either protein alone. Furthermore, the nanoparticles produced more potent and balanced serum IgG antibodies compared to the soluble protein mixture. The immune responses were sustained for at least four months after immunization. This suggests that the double-layered protein nanoparticles have the potential to be developed into broader SARS-CoV-2 vaccines with excellent safety profiles.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
