The main aim of the present investigation was the intercalation of WS nanosheets in the structure of ceria (CeO) to be used for the efficient catalytic destruction of tylosin (TYL) as a macrolide antibiotic in water. As-synthesized heterostructured catalyst was placed in a sono-reactor (40 kHz and 300 W) in order to degrade TYL through the sonocatalysis. 15 wt% WS/CeO was chosen for performing the systematic experiments. Decreasing the concentration of TYL, along with increasing the WS/CeO dosage led to reduced degradation efficiency. The water hardness was demonstrated to be a suppressive agent on the sonocatalysis of the target pollutant. As-generated holes, OH, and also O were responsible for the degradation of TYL. Increasing the ultrasound power and operating temperature enhanced the degradation efficiency. The degradation rate boosted up when the temperature was raised from 10 °C (0.0107 1/min) to 40 °C (0.0165 1/min). Moreover, the lowest activation energy (E) for sonocatalytic degradation was obtained as 10.81 kJ/mol. The sonocatalytic activity of WS/CeO in the sono-reactor encountered insignificant change within five consecutive operational runs (~15% reduction). The mechanism and pathways of the sonocatalytic decomposition of TYL are also proposed.

In this study, ZnO was doped and co-doped with rhodium and tungsten to assess the impact of these transition metals on the sonocatalytic degradation of reactive black 5 azo dye (RB-5). Structural analysis revealed that doping ZnO with 1% Rh and W does not alter its wurtzite hexagonal structure, although minor changes in cell parameters were observed due to differences in electronic density. Interestingly, co-doping resulted in lower degradation efficiency than single doping, with W-ZnO emerging as the most effective catalyst, achieving 100% RB-5 degradation within 60 min, likely due to a higher density of oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl groups.

Artificially synthesized nanozymes exhibit enzymatic activity similar to that of natural enzymes. However, in the complex tumor microenvironment, their diversity and catalytic activity show significant variations, limiting their effectiveness in catalytic therapy. Developing artificial enzymes with multiple enzymatic activities and spatiotemporal controllable catalytic abilities is of great clinical significance.

As an emerging therapeutic method, the application of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is hindered by its intrinsic unsatisfactory efficiency, the tumor hypoxia and low tumor specificity. Here, we reported the design of a tumor-targeting multifunctional nanodrug for O-generation/O-economization dually enhanced SDT/chemodynamic therapy (CDT) combination therapy. After the co-encapsulation of sonosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) and oxidative phosphorylation inhibitor metformin (Met) into hollow MnO (H-MnO) nanoparticles, ICG/Met@H-MnO@MPN-FA (IMMMF) was conveniently prepared through the formation of metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) between Fe and folic acid (FA) immobilized tannic acid (TA, TA-FA) onto its surface.

Inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) via sonocatalysis to initiate inflammatory programmed cell death (PANoptosis) and immunogenic cell death (ICD) presents a promising strategy for activatable cancer immunotherapy. However, the limited ROS generation by sonosensitizers under ultrasound and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment hinder the efficiency of sono-immunotherapy. To overcome these challenges, a bismuth-based ternary heterojunction, Bi@BiO-Pt-PEG (BBOP), was developed for sonocatalytic therapy aimed at activating immune responses.
