We develop compact microsphere self-interference lithography via a single laser beam incident into a self-assembled dual-layered microsphere array to achieve parallel fabrication of periodic units with nanopatterns (PUNs). Interference units with tens of millions are achieved through micron-thick dual-layered microsphere arrays. The periodic units with nanoholes (NHs), nanogrooves (NGs), and nanoslots (NSs) can be fabricated by simply varying incident laser polarization states. The minimum linewidth is 75 nm (∼λ/4.5), and the single-shot exposure area is up to 1 cm. An analytical model of polarization-dependent tri-beam interferences is developed to interpret the PUN formation. Au-coated PUNs demonstrate extraordinary performance for customized surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrates, of which the polarization sensitivity can be regulated and the limit of detection is down to 3 × 10 M. The present work opens up new opportunities for high-throughput laser parallel nanofabrication for various applications.

In this work, we introduce a novel, to the best of our knowledge, detection method for trace HS in the liquid and gaseous phases based on the dual-quenching mechanism (DQE) of silver ion-doped nitrogen-sulfur co-doped carbon dots (N, S-CDs@Ag). Ag could significantly enhance the fluorescence intensity and detection sensitivity.

The combination of microparticles (MPs) with dissolving microneedles (DMN) represents a promising transdermal approach for the sustained release of biomacromolecule drug. In this study, we developed a double-layered microparticles-dissolving microneedle (MPs-DMN) system, which strategically concentrates PLGA MPs at the tip of the microneedle to achieve sustained release of peptide drugs through transdermal delivery. We selected exenatide (EXT) as a model peptide drug and established HPLC-UV and UPLC-MS methods for the quantitative analysis of the drug content of MPs-DMN and drug concentrations in plasma.

Fabricating photoanodes with a strong light-scattering effect can improve the photoconversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this work, a facile microwave hydrothermal process was developed to prepare Au@TiO core-shell nanostructures, and then the Au core was removed by etching, resulting in hollow TiO. Morphological characterizations such as field emission scanning and transmission electron microscopy measurements have been used for the successful formation of core-shell and hollow TiO nanostructures.

The application of smart pH-sensitive carriers has become an ideal choice for administering drugs with desired release profiles. Although pH-sensitive microbeads offer distinct benefits for delivering anticancer drugs orally, they encounter drawbacks, including low encapsulation efficiency, weak mechanical stability, biocompatibility concerns, and the risk of abrupt release. This study focuses on developing pH-sensitive coated composite microbeads for effective encapsulation and sustained release of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).
