Devising Hyperthermia Dose of NIR-Irradiated Cs_0.33WO₃ Nanoparticles for HepG2 Hepatic Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: Hyperthermia is one of the most patient-friendly methods to cure cancer diseases owing to its noninvasiveness, minimally induced side-effects and toxicity, and easy implementation, prompting the development of novel therapeutic methods like photothermally triggering dose system. This research herein interrogates the variables of photothermal effects of Cs_0.33WO₃ nanoparticles (NPs), the duration of irradiation, optical power density and NP concentration, upon HepG2 liver cancer cell line in vitro, leading to the formulation of a near-infrared (NIR)-irradiated thermal dose. Expressly, the NPs with particulate feature sizes of 120 nm were synthesized through a series of oxidation-reduction (REDOX) reaction, thermal annealing and wet-grinding processes, and the subsequent characterization of physical, compositional, optical, photothermal properties were examined using dynamic light scattering (DLS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), scanning and tunneling electron microscopies (SEM and TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and visible-near-infrared (VIS-NIR) photospectroscopy. Cytotoxicity of the NPs and its irradiation parameters were obtained for the HepG2 cells. By incubating the cells with the NPs, the state of endocytosis was verified, and the dependence of cellular survival rate on the variable parameters of photothermal dose was determined while maintaining the medium temperature of the cell-containing culture dish at human body temperature around 36.5 °C.

Highly Efficient Solar Light Driven g-C3N4@Cs0.33WO3 Heterojunction for the Photodegradation of Colorless Antibiotics.

Project description:This study facilitates the synthesis of a graphitic carbon nitride/cesium tungsten oxide (g-C3N4@Cs0.33WO3) heterojunction using a solvothermal method. The photocatalytic activities of the prepared samples were examined for the photodegradation of colorless antibiotics, namely tetracycline, enrofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin, as well as cationic and anionic dyes, such as methyl orange, rhodamine B, neutral red, and methylene blue, under full-spectrum solar light. We have purposely selected different kinds of wastewater pollutants of colorless antibiotics and cationic and anionic organic dyes to investigate the potential application of this heterojunction toward different groups of water pollutants. The results revealed that the g-C3N4@Cs0.33WO3 heterojunction showed an outstanding photocatalytic activity toward all the pollutants with concentrations of 20 ppm each at pH 3 by photocatalytically removing 97% of tetracycline within 3 h, 98% of enrofloxacin within 2 h, 97% of ciprofloxacin within 2.25 h, 98% of methylene blue in 1 h, 99% of rhodamine B within 2 h, 99% of neutral red in 1.25 h, and 95% of methyl orange in 2 h. These findings indicate that the developed photocatalyst possesses excellent photocatalytic properties toward seven different water pollutants that make it a universal photocatalyst. The developed g-C3N4@Cs0.33WO3 oxide heterojunction also presented a photocatalytic performance better than those of reported solar light active photocatalysts for photodegradation of rhodamine B and tetracycline. The efficient photocatalytic performance of the heterojunction can be ascribed to its extended light-absorbing ability, effective charge separation and fast charge transfer properties, and a high surface area. Moreover, an active species detection experiment also confirmed that superoxide radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and holes played significant roles in the photocatalysis of the organic dyes and tetracycline.

Project description:Dicaesium bis-muth(III) phosphate(V) tungstate(VI), Cs(2)Bi(PO(4))(WO(4)), has been synthesized during complex investigation in a molten pseudo-quaternary Cs(2)O-Bi(2)O(3)-P(2)O(5)-WO(3) system. It is isotypic with K(2)Bi(PO(4))(WO(4)). The three-dimensional framework is built up from [Bi(PO(4))(WO(4))] nets, which are organized by adhesion of [BiPO(4)] layers and [WO(4)] tetra-hedra above and below of those layers. The inter-stitial space is occupied by Cs atoms. Bi, W and P atoms lie on crystallographic twofold axes.

Sr9La2(WO6)4 containing [WO6] octa-hedra.

Project description:A polycrystalline sample of Sr9La2(WO6)4, nona-strontium dilanthanum tetra-kis-[orthotungstate(VI)], was prepared by heating a compacted powder mixture of SrCO3, WO3, and La2O3 with an Sr:La:W molar ratio of 9:2:4 at 1473 K. X-ray crystal structure analysis was performed for a Sr9La2(WO6)4 single-crystal grain grown by reheating the sample at 1673 K. Sr9La2(WO6)4 crystallizes with four formula units in the tetra-gonal space group I41/a and is isotypic with Sr11(ReO6)4. Two W sites with site symmetries of are located at the center of isolated [WO6] octa-hedra, and four mixed (Sr/La) sites are surrounded by eight to twelve O atoms of the [WO6] octa-hedra. The structure of Sr9La2(WO6)4 can be described on the basis of the double-perovskite structure with [WO6] and [(Sr/La)O x ] polyhedra alternately placed, and a vacancy (□).

Colloidal Synthesis of Double Perovskite Cs2AgInCl6 and Mn-Doped Cs2AgInCl6 Nanocrystals.

Project description:We show here the first colloidal synthesis of double perovskite Cs2AgInCl6 nanocrystals (NCs) with a control over their size distribution. In our approach, metal carboxylate precursors and ligands (oleylamine and oleic acid) are dissolved in diphenyl ether and reacted at 105 °C with benzoyl chloride. The resulting Cs2AgInCl6 NCs exhibit the expected double perovskite crystal structure, are stable under air, and show a broad spectrum white photoluminescence (PL) with quantum yield of ?1.6 ± 1%. The optical properties of these NCs were improved by synthesizing Mn-doped Cs2AgInCl6 NCs through the simple addition of Mn-acetate to the reaction mixture. The NC products were characterized by the same double perovskite crystal structure, and Mn doping levels up to 1.5%, as confirmed by elemental analyses. The effective incorporation of Mn ions inside Cs2AgInCl6 NCs was also proved by means of electron spin resonance spectroscopy. A bright orange emission characterized our Mn-doped Cs2AgInCl6 NCs with a PL quantum yield as high as ?16 ± 4%.

Hydrogenolysis of glycerol over TiO2-supported Pt-WOx catalysts: Effects of the TiO2 crystal phase and WOx loading.

Project description:The selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) with high added value is attraction but challenging. Pt-WOx-based catalysts have been extensively studied in the selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol. The catalyst support and the physicochemical state of WOx play important roles on this reaction. In this paper, Pt-WOx catalysts supported on TiO2 with different crystal forms were prepared and studied for their catalytic performance in hydrogenolysis of glycerol. It was observed that the catalytic performance of anatase-type (A-type) TiO2-supported catalyst (Pt/W/A-Ti) is much better than that of the rutile-type (R-type) TiO2 catalyst (Pt/W/R-Ti) due to its higher stability. Furthermore, the influence of W loading amount and state were thoroughly investigated for the Pt/W/A-Ti catalysts, and Pt/W/A-TiO2 with 5 wt% loading of WOx achieved the best catalytic performance (100% conversion of glycerol and 41% yield of 1,3-PDO under the optimal reaction conditions), owing to the suitable WOx domains and high dispersion of W species, as evidenced by XRD patterns and TEM images. Mechanism study by in-situ DRIFTS experiments indicated that glycerol was first converted to 3-hydroxypropanal and then converted to 1,3-PDO through subsequent reactions.

Photocatalytic primary alcohol oxidation on WO3 nanoplatelets.

Project description:With the aid of direct heating through microwave irradiation in non-aqueous media, nanocrystalline tungsten(vi) oxide is achievable in 30 minutes at 200 °C, faster and at a lower temperature than conventional synthesis methods. Forming in a platelet morphology, these particles are as small as 20 nm with a BET surface area of 37 m2 g-1 WO3. These nanoplatelets are active for the photocatalytic oxidation of the 1° alcohols benzyl alcohol (rate constant, k of 2.6 × 10-3 h-1) and 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furfural (k of 0.01 h-1) using 10 mg of WO3 with 2 mL of 0.250 M substrate in acetonitrile and a 150 mW cm-2 460 nm blue LED source. As expected, these rate constants are larger than those observed for commercially prepared, micron-sized WO3. XPS analysis shows that during catalysis, the concentration of W5+ on the surface increases, but the nanoplatelets are stable under these reaction conditions. The overall morphology and size of the particles are retained through the reactions. Moreover, the nanoplatelets are recyclable-showing no loss in activity for four reaction cycles.

Long decay length of magnon-polarons in BiFeO3/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 heterostructures.

Project description:Magnons can transfer information in metals and insulators without Joule heating, and therefore are promising for low-power computation. The on-chip magnonics however suffers from high losses due to limited magnon decay length. In metallic thin films, it is typically on the tens of micrometre length scale. Here, we demonstrate an ultra-long magnon decay length of up to one millimetre in multiferroic/ferromagnetic BiFeO3(BFO)/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3(LSMO) heterostructures at room temperature. This decay length is attributed to a magnon-phonon hybridization and is more than two orders of magnitude longer than that of bare metallic LSMO. The long-distance modes have high group velocities of 2.5 km s-1 as detected by time-resolved Brillouin light scattering. Numerical simulations suggest that magnetoelastic coupling via the BFO/LSMO interface hybridizes phonons in BFO with magnons in LSMO to form magnon-polarons. Our results provide a solution to the long-standing issue on magnon decay lengths in metallic magnets and advance the bourgeoning field of hybrid magnonics.

High-Performance Implantable Sensors based on Anisotropic Magnetoresistive La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 for Biomedical Applications.

Project description:We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of an implantable neural interface based on anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) magnetic-field sensors that combine reduced size and high performance at body temperature. The sensors are based on La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) as a ferromagnetic material, whose epitaxial growth has been suitably engineered to get uniaxial anisotropy and large AMR output together with low noise even at low frequencies. The performance of LSMO sensors of different film thickness and at different temperatures close to 37 °C has to be explored to find an optimum sensitivity of ∼400%/T (with typical detectivity values of 2 nT·Hz-1/2 at a frequency of 1 Hz and 0.3 nT·Hz-1/2 at 1 kHz), fitted for the detection of low magnetic signals coming from neural activity. Biocompatibility tests of devices consisting of submillimeter-size LSMO sensors coated by a thin poly(dimethyl siloxane) polymeric layer, both in vitro and in vivo, support their high suitability as implantable detectors of low-frequency biological magnetic signals emerging from heterogeneous electrically active tissues.

Flexopiezoelectricity at ferroelastic domain walls in WO3 films.

Project description:The emergence of a domain wall property that is forbidden by symmetry in bulk can offer unforeseen opportunities for nanoscale low-dimensional functionalities in ferroic materials. Here, we report that the piezoelectric response is greatly enhanced in the ferroelastic domain walls of centrosymmetric tungsten trioxide thin films due to a large strain gradient of 106 m-1, which exists over a rather wide width (~20 nm) of the wall. The interrelationship between the strain gradient, electric polarity, and the electromechanical property is scrutinized by detecting of the lattice distortion using atomic scale strain analysis, and also by detecting the depolarized electric field using differential phase contrast technique. We further demonstrate that the domain walls can be manipulated and aligned in specific directions deterministically using a scanning tip, which produces a surficial strain gradient. Our findings provide the comprehensive observation of a flexopiezoelectric phenomenon that is artificially controlled by externally induced strain gradients.

Photocapacitive CdS/WOx nanostructures for solar energy storage.

Project description:Through a facile solvothermal procedure, a CdS/WOx nanocomposite has been synthesised which exhibits photocapacitive behaviour under white light illumination at a radiant flux density of 99.3 mW cm-2. Photoelectrochemical experiments were undertaken to examine the self-charging properties of the material and to develop an understanding of the underlying electronic band structure responsible for the phenomenon. By employing XPS, UPS and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy for further characterisation, the ability of the composite to generate current following the removal of incident light was related to the trapping of photoexcited electrons by the WOx component. The presence of WOx yielded an order of magnitude increase in the transient photocurrent response relative to CdS alone, an effect attributed to the suppression of electron-hole recombination in CdS due to hole transfer across the CdS/WOx interface. Moreover, current discharge from the material persisted for more than twenty minutes after final illumination, an order of magnitude improvement over many existing binary composites. As a seminal investigation into the photocapacitive characteristics of CdS/WOx composites, the work offers insight into how the constituent materials might be utilised as part of a future self-charging solar device.
