The silica nanoparticles (SNs) co-doped with paramagnetic ([Mn(HL)],) and luminescent ([Ru(dipy)]) complexes are represented. The specific distribution of [Mn(HL)] within the SNs allows to achieve about ten-fold enhancing in magnetic relaxivities in comparison with those of [Mn(HL)] in solutions. The leaching of [Mn(HL)] from the shell can be minimized through the co-doping of [Ru(dipy)] into the core of the SNs. The co-doped SNs exhibit colloid stability in aqueous solutions, including those modeling a blood serum. The surface of the co-doped SNs was also decorated by amino- and carboxy-groups. The cytotoxicity, hemoagglutination and hemolytic activities of the co-doped SNs are on the levels convenient for "in vivo" studies, although the amino-decorated SNs cause more noticeable agglutination and suppression of cell viability. The co-doped SNs being intravenously injected into mice allows to reveal their biodistribution in both ex vivo and in vivo conditions through confocal microscopy and magnetic resonance imaging correspondingly.

Bismuth tungstate perovskite has been identified as a promising photoelectric material. Nevertheless, the wide band gap of bismuth tungstate leads to short-wavelength absorption of a single material with an attenuated photocurrent response, hindering its realization in biosensing applications. In this study, F, S co-doped BiWO was synthesized by heat treatment and combined with SnS and CdS to form a ternary heterojunction composite.

Article Synopsis
  • Tin disulfide (SnS) is gaining interest for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity, but its performance is hindered by significant volumetric changes during charge and discharge cycles.
  • Researchers developed heterostructured Mn-Sn bimetallic sulfide nanocubes confined in nitrogen and sulfur-codoped carbon (MSS@NSC) to address these issues.
  • The new MSS@NSC anode enhances sodium storage kinetics and cycle life by improving sodium diffusion and providing a conductive framework, resulting in better electrochemical performance.

Dual electrolyte lithium-air batteries have received widespread attention for their ultra-high energy density. However, the low internal redox efficiency of these batteries results in a relatively short operating life. SnS is widely used in Li-S batteries, Li-ion batteries, photocatalysis, and other fields due to the high discharge capacity in batteries.

Tin sulfides have received significant attention as potential candidates for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to their abundance, high theoretical capacity, and favorable working potential. However, the inherent drawbacks such as slow kinetics, low intrinsic electronic conductivity, and significant volume change during cycling, have not been adequately addressed. In this study, we propose a rational and effective approach to simultaneously overcome these challenges by embedding stannous sulfide (SnS) quantum dots (QDs) within a crosslinked nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) co-doped carbon fiber network (SnS-CFN).
