Herein, we introduce an acid/glutathione (GSH)-dual responsive nano-prodrug (AS1411@Dox+GA/NPs) enabling precise co-delivery of Dox and GA for enhanced combination therapy. The GSH-activated Dox prodrug [Poly(lactic-<em>co</em>-glycolic acid)-disulfide-Dox, PLGA-ss-Dox], GA, and sulfur-terminated D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS-SH) are combined to form a nanoemulsion with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) in the aqueous phase. The AS1411 aptamer is modified on the surface for tumor-specific targeting. Upon reaching the tumor via enhanced penetration and retention effects, AS1411 aptamer medicates specific endocytosis of AS1411@Dox+GA/NPs into tumor cells. Intracellularly, the acidic endosomal environment promotes carbon dioxide (CO₂) production from NaHCO₃, disrupting the nanoemulsion and causing a burst release of GA and PLGA-ss-Dox prodrug. Concurrently, high levels of GSH in the cytoplasm triggers the cleavage of the disulfide linker, thereby releasing Dox. Notably, the released NaHCO₃ consumed hydrogen ion (H⁺), amplifying the sensitivity of tumor cells to Dox. As a consequence, AS1411@Dox+GA/NPs exhibits remarkable synergistic therapeutic efficacy in mouse models of both liver cancer and breast cancer.

Phosphoric acid anions’ toxicity towards Pt significantly impairs the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics, posing a major obstacle to the commercial viability of this technology.

The as-deposited functionalized GO films were observed to cause “petal-like” wetting of water, whereby droplets exhibited contact angles (CAs) greater than 150° and remaining pinned to the surface. To improve their conductivity, films of the functionalized GO deposited onto glass were laser-scribed to reduce some of the specific, adjoining regions of oxidic carbon to partially restore some of the sp² C network. This improved the conductivity of the as-deposited GO films by approximately four orders of magnitude from 0.002 to ∼20 S/m using the low laser scan speed of 250 mm/min. It was observed that with a high laser scan speed of 500 mm/min some of the hydrophobic character was retained (CAs ∼110°), whilst maintaining conductivities of up to 0.17 S/m.
