It is important to regulate the concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells since they play important roles in metabolism. Thus, developing nanoreagents to control the ROS is critical. Herein, tellurium-doped carbon quantum dots (Te-CDs) were developed by a simple and efficient hydrothermal method, which can scavenge HO to protect cells under ambient condition, but generate ·OH under 808 nm irradiation as photodynamic application. This contribution presented a kind of novel CDs with dual-functions, which can potentially regulate ROS under different conditions.

Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are among the most promising next-generation energy storage technologies. However, a slow Li-S reaction kinetics at the LSB cathode limit their energy and power densities. To address these challenges, this study introduces an anionic-doped transition metal chalcogenide as an effective catalyst to accelerate the Li-S reaction.

Pathogenic bacteria-infected wound healing faces challenges even though many advanced antibiotics and antibacterial nanoagents have been developed. Herein, we established a two-dimensional antibacterial nanoplatform with synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) antibacterial capabilities mediated by a single 808 nm laser irradiation. The nanoplatform is constructed by combining black phosphorus (BP) obtained by liquid phase exfoliation and hydrothermally prepared tellurium-doped carbon quantum dots (CQDs) prepared by electrostatic interaction.

A tellurium-doped carbon nanomaterial (Te-MC(P)) was newly developed by the soft-templated carbonization of the PAN-b-PBA copolymer with poly(3-hexyltellurophene). Te-MC(P) was characterized with various characterization methods, including the nitrogen sorption isotherm measurement (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), which reveal that the Te atoms are homogeneously dispersed in the three-dimensional hierarchical, graphite-like mesoporous carbon matrix with a Te doping level of 0.27 atom %.

Tellurium-doped mesoporous carbon composite materials (Te/NMC) have been prepared by a facile intercalation method in the presence of nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon (NMC) with tellurium powder, for the first time. The effects of the co-doped N and Te in the mesoporous carbon matrix on the physical/chemical properties and capacitance performances were investigated the use of various characterization methods and electrochemical studies. The as-prepared NMC and Te/NMC materials were found to mainly be composed of mesopores and maintained the 3D hierarchical graphite-like structure with lots of defect sites.

The tellurium doped zinc imidazole framework (Te@ZIF-8) is prepared by a two-step hydrothermal strategy for the electrochemical sensing of hydrogen peroxide. Material is characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The electrochemical characterization of the MOF modified electrode is done by a three-electrode system.
