Triethylamine (TEA) gas sensors having excellent response and selectivity are in great demand to monitor the real environment. In this work, we have successfully prepared a hollow SnO microfiber by a unique sustainable biomass conversion strategy and shown that the microfiber can be used in a high-performance gas sensor. The sensor based on the hollow SnO microfiber shows a quick response/recovery toward triethylamine. The response of the hollow SnO microfiber is up to 49.5 when the concentration of TEA gas is 100 ppm. The limit of detection is as low as 2 ppm. Furthermore, the sensor has a relatively low optimal operation temperature of 270 °C, which is lower than those of many other reported sensors. The excellent sensing properties are largely attributed to the high sensitivity provided by SnO and the good permeability and conductivity of the one-dimensional hollow structure. Thus, the hollow SnO microfiber using sustainable biomass as a template is a significant strategy for a unique TEA gas sensor.

: A common challenge of drug loading and delivery using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) is the tendency of aggregation and precipitation at high drug loading conditions. Herein, we propose a generic strategy of controlled ideal aggregation (CIA) to restrict the tendency. : Fe, β-Lapachone (LAP), brequinar (BQR), or Sorafenib (SOR) was respectively loaded onto Gd poly (acrylic acid) macrochelate (GP), an MRI CA, in the hollow core of nitrite-modified hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HMON-SNO).

Article Synopsis
  • - Atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) are interesting for their unique structures and catalytic potential, but they have issues like instability and self-aggregation.
  • - This research presents a method to stabilize metal NCs by anchoring them to a metal oxide matrix, creating a hollow core-shell structure through thermal treatment.
  • - The resulting metal NPs@metal oxide heterostructures show improved catalytic activity and stability for reducing aromatic nitro compounds, suggesting a new approach to utilize the instability of metal NCs in catalysis.

Ultrasound-Triggered NO Release to Promote Axonal Regeneration for Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Therapy.

ACS Nano

December 2024

Department of Materials Science and State Key Laboratory of Molecular Engineering of Polymers, Academy for Engineering and Technology, Fudan University, 220 Handan Road, Shanghai 200438, China.

Intense noise poses a threat to spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in the inner ear, often resulting in limited axonal regeneration during noise injury and leading to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Here, we propose an ultrasound-triggered nitric oxide (NO) release to enhance the sprouting and regeneration of injured axons in SGNs. We developed hollow silicon nanoparticles to load nitrosylated N-acetylcysteine, producing HMSN-SNO, which effectively protects NO from external interferences.

In this work, we successfully demonstrated a MoSe@SnO nanocomposite-based room temperature HS gas sensor. A sensing mechanism was proposed based on experimental results and density functional theory calculations. The FESEM micrographs of the heterostructure formed by hydrothermally grown MoSe-layered nanosheets and SnO-hollow nanofiber result in a high surface area for HS gas adsorption.
