The activator Bi has been successfully incorporated into the anti-perovskite oxy-fluoride host lattice SrMOF (M = Al, Ga) to form rare earth-free phosphors of the composition SrBiAlOF, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1, and SrBiGaOF, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.048. These phases absorb in the UV region (λ = 240-326 nm) and exhibit broad emission in the blue region of the visible spectrum (λ = 446.5-455 nm). The optimum compositions for maximum photoluminescent intensity were determined to be SrBiAlOF and SrBiGaOF before concentration quenching occurs. Full structural characterization based upon PXRD and NPD data were performed with DFT calculations suggesting that Bi ions are preferentially incorporated on the ten coordinate Sr(1) site.

Hypoxia, or a state of low tissue oxygenation, has been characterized as an important feature of solid tumors that is related to aggressive phenotypes. The cellular response to hypoxia is controlled by Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), a family of transcription factors. HIFs promote the transcription of gene products that play a role in tumor progression including proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis, and drug resistance.

The Lentinus edodes polysaccharide (LEP) was extracted with a new subcritical water extraction (SWE) enhanced with deep eutectic solvent (DES) method and then purified with a DEAE-52 cellulose column and a Sephadex G-100 column. Two purified polysaccharides (LEP1 and LEP2) were obtained and their structure, antioxidant activity, and immunomodulatory activity were analyzed. LEP1 and LEP2 were composed of mannose, glucose, and galactose with a molar ratio of 1:12.

Formation of Nanowindow between Graphene Oxide and Carbon Nanohorn Assisted by Metal Ions.

This study presents a novel nanostructured material formed by inserting oxidized carbon nanohorns (CNHox) between layered graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets using metal ions (M) from nitrate as intermediates. The resulting GO-CNHox-M structure effectively mitigated interlayer aggregation of the GO nanosheets. This insertion strategy promoted the formation of nanowindows on the surface of the GO sheets and larger mesopores between the GO nanosheets, improving material porosity.
