AgPO-based photocatalysts have been deeply studied in environmental remediation; however, two problems limited their further application: photocorrosion and quenching effect by in-situ generated HO. To addressed these two questions simultaneously, Fe(MoO) was coupled with AgPO to construct Z-scheme Fe(MoO)/Ag/AgPO heterojunction driven by internal-electric-field. The rhodamine B degradation rate of heterojunction was 254 and 7.0 times higher than those of Fe(MoO) and AgPO, respectively. The outstanding photoactivity was due to the high visible-light harvest, low interface resistance, high separation efficiency of charge carriers, long lifetime of hole (h) and electron (e), well-preserved oxidation potential of h, and especially photocatalytic produced HO inside the system. The in-situ generated HO was fully activated to be OH on the Fe(MoO) surface via a Fenton reaction, leading to the elimination of quenching effect on h and e, and generation of more OH. Additionally, in Z-scheme heterojunction, e transferred from AgPO to Fe(MoO), avoiding the accumulation on AgPO surface, and hence suppressing the photocorrosion. As a result, 91.2% of degradation efficiency remained after 5 cycles. This paper provides a new method to simultaneously increase the degradation rate by utilizing the in-situ generated HO and improve the stability of AgPO via constructing a Z-scheme heterojunction.

Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) have garnered significant attention in photothermal therapy (PTT) owing to their facile synthesis, biodegradability, stability, and excellent photothermal conversion efficiency. Nonetheless, their potential toxic effects have restricted their application. This research focuses on the encapsulation of CuS NPs with the biocompatible polymer poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) to enhance their biocompatibility, thereby improving the efficacy and safety of PTT in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Microwave dynamic therapy (MWDT) destroy tumor cells using reactive oxygen species (ROS), but its effectiveness is limited by low ROS production and intracellular oxygen (O) availability. This study presents a novel strategy using manganese (II) ion (Mn) doped iron (Fe)-based metal-organic framework (Fe MOF) nanoparticles (NPs) to enhance both O generation and ROS production for improved MWDT. Incorporating Mn into Fe MOF narrows the bandgap from 0.
