A Highly Biocompatible Polyoxotungstate with Fenton-like Reaction Activity for Potent Chemodynamic Therapy of Tumors.

Integrating Fenton chemistry and nanomedicine into cancer therapy has significantly promoted the development of chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Nanoscale polyoxometalates (POMs), with their reversible redox properties, exhibit promising potential in developing outstanding CDT drugs by exploring their Fenton-like catalytic reactivity in tumor environments. However, such research is still in its infancy due to the challenges of acquiring POMs that are both easily prepared and possess ideal therapeutic effects, physiological solubility, biocompatibility and safety.

Electrochemically Controlled Synthesis of Ultrathin Nickel Hydroxide Nanosheets for Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution.

The development of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts with high activity and high stability through convenient and economical methods is greatly important for the promotion of hydrogen energy based on electrolysis technology. Herein, by using an unconventional high electrodeposition potential, novel petal-like clusters constructed by cross-linking ultrathin nickel hydroxide nanosheets were controllably synthesized on nickel foam (or copper foam or carbon cloth) and the effect of electrodeposition conditions on their OER performance was carefully explored. Due to the abundant catalytically active sites, promoting electron conduction/mass transmission from the specific micro-nano structure, as well as the ultrasmall thickness of ∼3.
