Green and simple synthesis of high-quality colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) is of great importance and highly anticipated yet not fully implemented. Herein, we achieve the direct conversion of natural minerals to highly uniform, crystalline lead sulfide CQDs based on laser irradiation in liquid. The trivial fragmentation of mineral particles by an intense nanosecond laser was found to create a localized high degree of monomer supersaturation in oleic acid, initiating the LaMer growth of uniform CQDs. The photoconductive device made of these CQDs exhibits a competitive temporal response of photocurrent with those highly sensitive photodetectors based on PbS CQDs reported in the literature. Our synthesis strategy paves the way for the most environmentally friendly and convenient mass production of high-quality uniform CQDs.

The rapidly increased efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) indicates their broad commercial prospects, but the commercialization of perovskite faces complex optimization processes and stability issues. In this work, a simple optimized strategy is developed by the addition of trimethylgermanium chloride (TGC) into FACsPbI precursor solution. TGC triggers the successive interactions in perovskite solution and film, involving the hydrolysis of vulnerable Ge─Cl bond forming Ge─OH group, then forming the hydrogen bonds (O─H···N and O─H···I) with FAI.

Background: Amphotericin B deoxycholate (AmB-D) have potential toxic effects in the treatment of talaromycosis, and high-quality, non-generic liposomal AmB (L-AMB) is still inaccessible in many regions of China. As such, the efficacy and safety of alternative drugs warrant further investigation for the management of talaromycosis. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of Amphotericin B Colloidal Dispersion (ABCD) and AmB-D for the treatment of talaromycosis in a retrospective cohort of HIV-infected patients.

Zein-fucoidan nanoparticles (ZFNPs) as an excellent colloidal delivery system for bioactive compounds, such as curcumin (CUR), show a great application potential in the food industry. Herein, various amount of ZFNPs, ZFNPs loaded with CUR (CZFNPs) and free CUR were added into golden threadfin bream (Nemipterus virgatus) surimi to explore their impacts on the gel properties. Dynamic rheological tests showed that storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G") of surimi gels with the additive amount of ZFNPs and CZFNPs under 0.

Egg white protein can be cross-linked to form a gel under alkali induction, which is typically represented by the preserved eggs from Chinese traditional food. The effects of ultrasonic at different intensities (50 W, 100 W, 200 W, and 300 W) on alkali-induced egg white protein (EWP) gel were investigated. The gel strength rose significantly by 26.
