Published: June 2020

Polyacrylonitrile/NaYF:Eu nanophosphor composite nanofibers have been successfully prepared using the electrospinning technique. The electrospun nanofibers exhibited intense emission of gradient blue ( = 0.254, = 0.152 and = 0.233, = 0.139) with different concentrations of nanophosphor under the excitation wavelength of 239 nm. The morphological and structural characterization of the nanofibers confirms the uniform dispersion of nanophosphor, while photoluminescence spectroscopy confirms tunability in luminescence properties.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging antitumor strategy utilizing iron-initiated Fenton reaction to destroy tumor cells by converting endogenous HO into highly toxic hydroxyl radical (OH). However, the intratumoral overexpressed glutathione (GSH) and deficient acid greatly reduce CDT efficacy because of OH scavenging and decreased OH production efficiency. Even worse, the various physiological barriers, especially in glioma, further put the brakes on the targeted delivery of Fenton agents.

Interfacial solar vapor generation (ISVG) accompanied by photocatalytic degradation holds immense potential to mitigate water scarcity and pollution. Distinct from the two detached functional components (photothermal agent and photocatalyst) in a conventional evaporator, in this study, an all-in-one photothermal/catalytic agent, nitrogen-containing honeycomb carbon nanosheets (NHC), was engineered for synergistic high-efficiency steam generation and photocatalysis functions. It was demonstrated that the superoxide radical generated on the surface of NHC conferred its catalytic activity to the photodegradation of organic pollutants under full solar spectrum irradiation.
