<p>Biodistribution and sensitive tracking of immune cells with plasmonic gold nanostars</p>
摘要： Aim: To quantitatively and sensitively investigate the biodistribution of immune cells after systemic administration. Methods: Immune cells were loaded with plasmonic gold nanostars (GNS) tracking probes. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used for quantitative gold mass measurement and two-photon photoluminescence (TPL) was used for high-resolution sensitive optical imaging. Results: GNS nanoparticles were loaded successfully into immune cells without negative effect on cellular vitality. Liver and spleen were identified to be the major organs for macrophage cells uptake after systematic administration. A small amount of macrophage cells were detected in the tumor site in our murine lymphoma animal model. Conclusion: GNS has great potential as a biocompatible marker for quantitative tracking and high-resolution imaging of immune cells at the cellular level.

Ag-graphene/PEG composite phase change materials for enhancing solar-thermal energy conversion and storage capacity
摘要： In view of the excellent characteristic of thermal energy storage, phase change materials (PCMs) are of great significance for improving the efficiency of solar thermal energy utilization. However, the direct thermal effect of visible-light (40% of solar radiation) is very low. In order to improve the capabilities of visible-light absorption and photothermal conversion, we reported novel and efficient sunlight-driven PCMs based on polyethylene glycol (PEG) supported by Ag nanoparticle-functionalized graphene nanosheets (Ag–GNS). The multifolded layered structure provides Ag–GNS a large surface area to support PEG for achieving the shape stability before and after phase transition. Meanwhile, based on the local surface plasma resonance effect of Ag, Ag has high visible light selective absorption and infrared reflectance, which can give Ag–GNS enhanced light absorption capacity and reduced thermal radiation. So Ag–GNS/PEG can harvest sunlight and convert light to thermal energy with significantly higher efficiency (η = 88.7–92.0%). Moreover, Ag–GNS/PEG composites exhibit enhanced thermal conductivities (49.5–95.3%), high energy storage densities (> 166.1 J/g), high thermal energy storage/release rates and outstanding form-stable properties. Therefore, this novel sunlight-driven composite can be potentially used for clean and efficient utilization of solar energy.
