We assessed a method for the preparation of small, highly stable and unprotected Pd nanoparticles by picosecond laser ablation in 2-propanol. The nanoparticles can be extracted from 2-propanol by centrifugation and redispersed in water, where a strongly negative ζ-potential assures long term stability. The proposed procedure permits reduction of particle size down to 1.6nm and optimization of the Pd(0):Pd(II) ratio which, in the best cases, was of the order of 6:1. The increase of this ratio with ablation times has been correlated to the high temperature conversion of PdO to metallic Pd by a simple theoretical model. A study of the relationship between colloid absorption at 400nm and Pd concentration permitted the role of PdO in the determination of the UV-vis spectra to be clarified and the limits of the Mie theory for the evaluation of colloid concentration to be established. The absorption at 400nm can be used as a fast method to estimate the Pd content in the colloids, provided that a calibration of the ablation process is preliminarily performed.

Lymphoma is a malignant cancer characterized by a rapidly increasing incidence, complex etiology, and lack of obvious early symptoms. Efficient theranostics of lymphoma is of great significance in improving patient outcomes, empowering informed decision-making, and driving medical innovation. Herein, we developed a multifunctional nanoplatform for precise optical imaging and therapy of lymphoma based on a new photosensitizer (1-oxo-1-benzoo[de]anthracene-2,3-dicarbonitrile-triphenylamine (OBADC-TPA)).

The high performance of two-dimensional (2D) channel membranes is generally achieved by preparing ultrathin or forming short channels with less tortuous transport through self-assembly of small flakes, demonstrating potential for highly efficient water desalination and purification, gas and ion separation, and organic solvent waste treatment. Here, we report the construction of vertical channels in graphene oxide (GO) membrane based on a substrate template with asymmetric pores. The membranes achieved water permeance of 2647 L m h bar while still maintaining an ultrahigh rejection rate of 99.

The limited solubility, rapid metabolism, and poor bioavailability of curcumin restrict its application. In this study, we synthesized chickpea protein isolate (CPI)-citrus pectin (CP) conjugates to prepare an emulsion delivery system that enhances the stability and bioavailability of curcumin. The CPI-CP emulsion achieved a curcumin encapsulation efficiency of 86.
