Cancer is a serious global health threat, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective treatment method for cancer. This therapy works by generating a large amount of singlet oxygen (O) under the influence of oxygen and light, which induces apoptosis in tumor cells, leading to their destruction. However, the resistance of cells to apoptosis limits the development of PDT, and thus the combination of ferroptosis and apoptosis provides a new perspective for PDT. During PDT and ferroptosis, the levels of O and the microenvironment (viscosity) within cells often change. To address this, this study developed a novel fluorescent probe, , based on the TICT-ICT effect, capable of monitoring changes in O and viscosity during PDT. The probe exhibits excellent selectivity, high sensitivity, and a low LOD (0.38 μM), and has been successfully applied for bioimaging in HepG2, HeLa, and MCF-7 cells, as well as for monitoring viscosity and O levels in zebrafish. Most importantly, also enables the visualization of the diagnosis of fatty liver disease (both alcoholic and nonalcoholic).

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been demonstrated to be an effective tool for cancer treatment. Seeking organelle-targeting photosensitizers (PSs) with robust reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is extremely in demand. Herein, we propose an aggregation-induced photosensitization strategy for effective PDT with osmium complexes.

Nanozymes possess the advantages of high stability, adjustable catalytic activity and simple preparation processes, which position them as a promising alternative to natural enzymes. In this work, an oxidase-like nanozyme has been prepared by loading mixed valence manganese oxides (MnO) on defective PCN-224 MOFs (dPCN). Dodecanoic acid was utilized to introduce abundant mesoporous defects into the dPCN, allowing manganese oxide to grow in situ on the surface and within the pores.

Integrating energy donor and acceptor chromophores as ligands within one MOF for advanced artificial photosynthesis is of great interest but appears to be a major challenge. Herein, via a simple one-pot synthetic strategy, an energy acceptor porphyrin ligand 5,15-di(p-benzoato)porphyrin (HDPBP) was successfully integrated into an energy donor 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (HNDC)-based MOF (UiO-66-NDC) to construct a mixed-ligand MOF, donated as UiO-66-NDC-HDPBP. Benefiting from the ample overlap between the emission spectrum of HNDC and the absorption spectrum of HDPBP, an efficient energy transfer (EnT) process from the donor HNDC to the acceptor HDPBP within UiO-66-NDC-HDPBP can occur and be captured by time-resolved spectroscopy.

Engineering active sites on catalyst surface to enhance selective oxidation pathways in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is key to the efficient removal of pollutants. In this work, a method of loading bimetallic ions and simultaneously activating the surface of swine manure biochar using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was developed. By applying SiO templating method to increase the surface area and pore size of the catalyst, this study prepared a copper-iron-loaded layered porous catalyst (CFBC-0.
