The effect of a colloidal solution of Cu,Zn-nanoparticles on pro-oxidative/antioxidative balance and content of photosynthetic pigments and leaf area of winter wheat plants of steppe (Acveduc) and forest-steppe (Stolichna) ecotypes was investigated in drought conditions. It has been shown that Cu,Zn-nanoparticles decreased the negative effect of drought action upon plants of steppe ecotype Acveduc. In particular, increased activity of antioxidative enzymes reduced the level of accumulation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and stabilized the content of photosynthetic pigments and increased relative water content in leaves. Colloidal solution of Cu,Zn-nanoparticles had less significant influence on these indexes in seedlings of the Stolichna variety under drought.

Aims: This study aimed to develop Imatinib Mesylate (IMT)-loaded Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA)-D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS)- Polyethylene glycol (PEG) hybrid nanoparticles (CSLHNPs) with optimized physicochemical properties for targeted delivery to glioblastoma multiforme.
Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most destructive type of brain tumor with several complications. Currently, most treatments for drug delivery for this disease face challenges due to the poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) and lack of site-specific delivery.
The construction of an admirable hybrid bulk-heterojunction (HBH) can benefit the performance of optoelectronic devices through efficient charge separation and transportation. However, the present HBH structure still suffers from complicated layer-by-layer ligand exchanges during device fabrication. In this work, we apply a liquid phase exchange strategy in mixed colloidal hybrids composed of quantum dots (QDs) and nanotetrapods (NTs) and construct low-cost flexible self-powered infrared photodetectors with a carbon electrode.

The emergence of green chemistry and engineering principles to enforce sustainability aspects has ensured the prevalence of green solvents and green processes. Our study addresses this quest by exploring drug delivery applications of hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) which are alternative green solvents. Initially, this work showcases the hydrophobic drug solubilization capabilities of a natural hydrophobic DES, menthol, and decanoic acid.

Laboratory-scale spin-coating techniques are widely employed for fabricating small-size, high-efficiency perovskite solar cells. However, achieving large-area, high-uniformity perovskite films and thus high-efficiency solar cell devices remain challenging due to the complex fluid dynamics and drying behaviors of perovskite precursor solutions during large-area fabrication processes. In this work, a high-quality, pinhole-free, large-area FAPbI perovskite film is successfully obtained via scalable blade-coating technology, assisted by a novel bidirectional Marangoni convection strategy.

The yolk-shell architecture offers a promising solution to the challenges of silicon (Si) anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), particularly in addressing the significant volume changes that occur during charge and discharge cycles. However, traditional construction methods often rely on sacrificial templates and acid or alkali etching, which limits industrial applicability. In this work, we successfully constructed a silicon/carbon (Si/C) composite with a multicore yolk-shell structure using scalable spray drying technology and in-situ growth of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) at room temperature.
