Currently, radiosensitizers that remodel TME are widely investigated to enhance RT. However, developing an effective nano-radiosensitization system that removes radiotherapy-resistant factors from TME to boost RT effect while visualizing tumor imaging to aid therapy remains a challenge. Herein, MnO2 nanosheets are grown on the surface of ultrasmall Eu-doped NaGdF4 (NaGdF4:Eu3+) nanoparticles and modified by biocompatible DSPE-PEG2000 to prepare NaGdF4:Eu3+@MnO2@PEG nanoparticles (denoted as GMP NPs) as a radiosensitizer, which not only can reverse the TME by degrading H2O2 to produce oxygen and consuming high GSH but also achieve computed tomography (CT)and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. When GMP NPs synergize with X-ray, a better antitumor effect is achieved in both HeLa cells and tumor-bearing mice, compared with X-ray alone. In addition, both paramagnetic Mn2+ ionsproduced by decomposing MnO2 in TME and NaGdF4:Eu3+ nanoparticles enhance T1-weighted MR imaging. NaGdF4:Eu3+ nanoparticles containing high atomic number of Gd/Eu effectively attenuate X-ray to enhance CT imaging. The work provides new insights for developing an efficient RT sensitization platform integrating antitumor therapeutic effect as well as CT/MR dual-modal imaging.","PeriodicalId":21841,"journal":{"name":"Small Structures","volume":"125 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141585442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce a new electrochemical approach that integrates aluminum (Al) anodization, tin alternating current (AC) electrodeposition, and anodic MoS2 electrosynthesis for fabricating nanostructured Al2O3/Sn(S)MoS2 composite films on AlSiCu casting alloys. Our unique process uses Sn-modified MoS2 deposition to form robust solid lubricant MoS2–SnS electrodeposits within the nanochannels and microsized voids/defects of anodic alumina matrix films on the base materials, resulting in a bilayered Al2O3/SnSMoS2 and MoS2–SnS–Sn composite film. The AC-deposited Sn enhances conductivity in the anodic alumina matrix film, acts as catalytic nuclei for Sn@SnS@MoS2 core-shell nanoparticles and a dense top layer, and serves as a reductant for the direct synthesis of hybrid solid lubricant MoS2–SnS from MoS3 by anodic electrolysis of MoS42− ions. The resulting nanocomposite film provides a two-fold increase in lubricity (friction coefficient (COF) μ = 0.14 ⇒ 0.07) and a ten-fold improvement in wear resistance (COF μ < 0.2) compared to conventional Al2O3/MoS2 film formed by anodizing and reanodizing. The effectiveness of the Al2O3/Sn(S)MoS2 composite is further validated through real automotive engine piston tests.","PeriodicalId":21841,"journal":{"name":"Small Structures","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141585447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, HMs combining organic pigment molecules and TiO2 as inorganic component, with covalently linked components, i.e., so-called class II HMs, are reported. The synthesis of such HMs is intrinsically challenging, as the apolar organic pigment component and the inorganic polar TiO2 component require different conditions for their respective formation. Herein, we circumvent this issue by employing solvothermal synthesis in superheated isopropanol, which through temperature tunability of the solvent properties allows for both generating and linking both components in one-pot. First, it is shown that an organic benzimidazole-based pigment molecule designed for readily binding to Ti can be synthesized solvothermally. Second, new class II titanium-based HMs are generated from Ti(OiPr)4 and pigment precursors in a solvothermal reaction. The pigment@TiO2 HMs feature significant porosity and are structurally identified as layered structures of lepidocrocite-like TiO2 linked via pigment molecules. These layered HMs assemble into hierarchical nanoflowers, and depending on the pigment segments, different interlayer spacings in between inorganic layers are observed. Third, the pigment@TiO2 materials are shown to be usable as electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries.","PeriodicalId":21841,"journal":{"name":"Small Structures","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141552071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prevailing challenge in this domain has been devising a gel electrolyte that encapsulates all these critical attributes effectively for practical application. This study presents a novel zinc ion gel (Zn-gel) electrolyte developed for FZIBs, synthesized via ethanol vapor-induced assembly of cellulose molecules. This innovative process fosters significant hydrogen bonding and ion-complexation with Zn2+ ions, resulting in a gel with exceptional mechanical strength (0.88 MPa), high ion transference (over 0.7), and impressive ionic conductivity (8.39 mS cm−1). The Zn-gel enables a FZIB to achieve a reversible capacity of 207.3 mAh g−1 and over 93% Coulombic efficiency after 500 cycles, devoid of liquid electrolyte. Highlighting a promising route for high-performance, eco-friendly gel electrolytes, this research advances flexible electronics and portable device applications, demonstrating the profound potential of bio-based polymers in enhancing energy storage technology.","PeriodicalId":21841,"journal":{"name":"Small Structures","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141514526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their quantizied “molecule-like” electronic structure showcases unique stability, and physical and chemical properties differentiate them from larger nanoparticles. When integrated into inorganic materials that interact with the environment and sunlight, AMCs serve to enhance their (photo)catalytic activity and optoelectronic properties. Their tiny size makes AMCs isolated in the gas phase amenable to atom-scale modeling using either density functional theory (DFT) or methods at a high level of ab initio theory, even addressing nonadiabatic (e.g., Jahn–Teller) effects. Surface-supported AMCs can be routinely modeled using DFT, enabling long real-time molecular dynamics simulations. Their optical properties can also be addressed using time-dependent DFT or reduced density matrix (RDM) theory. These theoretical–computational efforts aim to achieve predictability and molecular-level understanding of the stability and properties of AMCs as function of their composition, size, and structural fluxionality in different thermodynamical conditions (temperature and pressure). In this perspective, the potential of ab initio and DFT-based modeling is illustrated through recent studies of unsupported and surface-supported AMCs. Future directions of research are also discussed, including applications and methodological enhancements beyond the state-of-the-art.","PeriodicalId":21841,"journal":{"name":"Small Structures","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141514426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
