Interfacial Mass Diagnostics: Quantitative Perspective on Construction and Mechanism Understanding of Dye-Sensitized, Perovskite and Quantum Dots Solar Cells.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted wide attention. DSSCs, QDSSCs and PSCs can be prepared by liquid phase or solid phase, which causes a certain range of interface micro-mass changes during preparation. In addition, the photoelectric conversion process occurring inside the device also inevitably causes interface micro-mass changes.

Skin-permissible NIR-actuated hyperthermia using a photothermally responsive hydrogel membrane for the effective treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection.

With the long-term widespread overuse of antibiotics, a large number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria have emerged and become a serious threat to healthcare systems. As an alternative strategy, near-infrared light (NIR)-actuated photothermal treatment has been developed for killing antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Although promising, the widespread applications of photothermal antibacterial platforms face great challenges due to the skin-harmful high laser irradiation.

Low-intensity near-infrared light-triggered spatiotemporal antibiotics release and hyperthermia by natural polysaccharide-based hybrid hydrogel for synergistic wound disinfection.

Photothermal sterilization is a promising and effective treatment method in treating bacterial infection. Generally, a widely employed light source in photothermal sterilization inevitably damages the skin tissue due to the high-intensity irradiation dose. How to provide useful antibacterial outcomes without light-triggered skin damage is a challenge for photothermal sterilization.

Facile and eco-friendly fabrication of polysaccharides-based nanocomposite hydrogel for photothermal treatment of wound infection.

Nowadays, photothermal killing of pathogenic bacteria and treatment of wound infection have attracted great attention owing to effectively avoiding the drawbacks of traditional antibiotics. In this work, an agarose (AG)-based hydrogel containing tannic acid-Fe(III) (TA-Fe) nanoparticles was fabricated by a facile and eco-friendly strategy. The optimal nanocomposite hydrogel showed the good mechanical property and superior processability.
