Antiangiogenesis-Combined Photothermal Therapy in the Second Near-Infrared Window at Laser Powers Below the Skin Tolerance Threshold
摘要： Photothermal agents with strong light absorption in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) region (1000–1350 nm) are strongly desired for successful photothermal therapy (PTT). In this work, titania-coated Au nanobipyramids (NBP@TiO2) with a strong plasmon resonance in the NIR-II window were synthesized. The NBP@TiO2 nanostructures have a high photothermal conversion efficiency of (93.3 ± 5.2)% under 1064-nm laser irradiation. They are also capable for loading an anticancer drug combretastatin A-4 phosphate (CA4P). In vitro PTT studies reveal that 1064-nm laser irradiation can efficiently ablate human lung cancer A549 cells and enhance the anticancer effect of CA4P. Moreover, the CA4P-loaded NBP@TiO2 nanostructures combined with PTT induce a synergistic antiangiogenesis effect. In vivo studies show that such CA4P-loaded NBP@TiO2 nanostructures under mild 1064-nm laser irradiation at an optical power density of 0.4 W cm?2, which is lower than the skin tolerance threshold value, exhibit a superior antitumor effect. This work presents not only the development of the NBP@TiO2 nanostructures as a novel photothermal agent responsive in the NIR-II window but also a unique combined chemo-photothermal therapy strategy for cancer therapy.

High-performance electrochromic device based on novel polyaniline nanofibers wrapped antimony-doped tin oxide/TiO2 nanorods
摘要： We report a novel electrochromic device (ECD) using polyaniline nanofibers wrapped antimony-doped tin oxide/TiO2 (ATO/TiO2@PANI) nanorods as electrochromic electrode material. The nanocomposites with core-shell structure were prepared by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization where aniline was polymerized in ATO/TiO2 nanorods aqueous dispersion. PEDOT:PSS film which was a complementary coloring material was used as counter electrode. A gel electrolyte (GE) was used in ECD. The architectural design of ECD based on ATO/TiO2@PANI film was ITO/ATO-TiO2@PANI/GE/PEDOT:PSS/ITO (ECD-TPN). Compared with the ECD based on pure PANI film (ECD-PANI), higher optical contrast (38.5% at 660nm), higher coloration efficiency 202.2 cm2/C, faster response speed (tc=1.2 s, tb=1.0 s) and better cycling stability (sustaining 99.5% of its initial optical modulation after subjecting 5000 s) are archived by the ECD-TPN. The enhanced electrochromic properties are mainly attributed to the formation of the donor-acceptor system between the PANI nanofiber shell layer and the ATO/TiO2 nanorod, and the porous space among the ATO/TiO2@PANI nanocompsites and the PANI nanofibers, which can improve the efficiency of redox reaction, make the ion diffusion easier and provide larger surface area for charge-transfer reactions, respectively.

Transition Metal Carbide Core/Shell Nanoparticles by Ultra-Short Laser Ablation in Liquid
摘要： Transition metal carbide nanoparticles are a class of technological interesting materials with a wide range of applications. Among metal carbides, tantalum carbides have good compatibility with the biological environment while molybdenum carbides are used as catalyst in electrochemical reactions. Laser ablation of bulk transition metal targets in some liquids is here reported and laser ablation in organic solvents is used as simple synthetic strategy for the production of carbide nanostructures. Herein, the nanoparticles produced by ultra-short laser ablation of tantalum and molybdenum in water, acetone, ethanol and toluene have been characterized by TEM, XRD and XPS analysis. The combined effect of metal and solvent chemical and physical properties on the composition of the nanomaterials obtained has been pointed out. In particular, the different reactivity of Ta and Mo with respect to oxidizing species determines the composition of particles obtained in water, on the other hand the organic solvents decomposition allows to obtain transition metal carbide (TMC) nanoparticles. The observed carbonaceous shell formed on TMC allows to protect the particle’s carbidic core and to improve and tailor the applications of these nanomaterials.

Plasmonic and nonlinear optical behavior of nanostructures in glass matrix for photonics application
摘要： There is a growing interest in bimetallic core shell nanostructures that comprised out of noble metals due to their fascinating plasmonic properties, leading to a wide range of applications in future nanotechnology. Here we report on Ag/Cu core shell nanostructures in a glass matrix. It includes novel approaches for characterizing embedded core shell nanostructures with a detailed study on the nanosize effect in tuning their optical and nonlinear optical properties along with biomedical applications. Annealing the Ag/Cu as- exchanged samples resulted in the formation of core-shell nanostructures, which were confirmed using UV–vis absorption spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The prepared plasmonic nanostructures were further studied using X-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering, photoluminescence, Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Z scan techniques. The nonlinear optical properties of the glasses containing bimetallic nanoparticles have been studied at a non-resonant wavelength using femtosecond laser pulses and a possible mechanism for the observed nonlinearity have been explained.

Synthesis of Anatase (Core)/Rutile (Shell) Nanostructured TiO <sub/>2</sub> Thin Films by Magnetron Sputtering Methods for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Applications
摘要： Currently, anatase/rutile core/shell structures are accepted as highly efficient building blocks for TiO2-based catalysts or photo-electrodes used in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). It is understood that a thin layer of rutile covering the core anatase pillar would improve the performance of DSSCs by retarding the charge recombination at the semiconductor/sensitizer/electrolyte interfaces. In this work, we report on the synthesis of core/shell nanostructured TiO2 thin films using reactive magnetron sputtering at a glancing angle with different power applying modes: well-separated pillars of pure anatase were synthesized using the DC mode, and then, high-pulse peak power was applied to the Ti target (high power impulse magnetron sputtering – HiPIMS) resulting in the covering of the anatase columns with a thin layer of rutile. The latter technique is well-known to increase the energy load during the growth of the film which is a key parameter to successfully obtain the TiO2 phase normally only achieved at high temperature, i.e. rutile. The peak current, the frequency and the pulse width were optimized in order to obtain the desired crystalline structure and thickness of the rutile top layer. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) cross-section views of the synthesized films clearly show that the pillar-like structures are not affected by the energetic species striking the surface during the HiPIMS process. Grazing Incidence X-Ray Diffraction (GIXRD) suggests the presence of both anatase and rutile phases in the films. Further characterization of the anatase/rutile core/shell interface by electron transmission techniques such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) mapping confirm the hypothesis and reveal that the anatase pillars are partly covered by a rutile crust.

Tuning and enhancing the red upconversion emission of Er3+ in LiYF4 nanoparticles
摘要： The tetragonal-phased LiYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles with different core-shell nanostructures have been successfully synthesized by a modified solution-based method. The upconversion emissions of LiYF4: Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles were precisely tuned from green to red with the increase in Yb3+ concentrations under 980 nm excitation. The corresponding intensity ratios of the red and green emissions (R/G ratios) were enhanced from 0.06 to 5.33. However, the overall integral upconversion intensity of LiYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles clearly decreased when the Yb3+ doping concentrations were increased. For the enhancement of the red upconversion intensity and expansion of their application, two kinds of core-shell nanostructures, namely, LiYbF4:Er3+@LiYF4 and LiYbF4:Er3+@LiYbF4, were constructed through epitaxial growth at similar experimental conditions. The LiYbF4:Er3+@LiYF4 core-shell nanostructures exhibited stronger upconversion emission and higher R/G ratios than the LiYbF4:Er3+ and LiYbF4:Er3+@LiYbF4 nanoparticles. The highest R/G ratios increased to 6.27 in LiYbF4:Er3+@LiYF4 core-shell nanostructures, increasing 104-fold. The upconversion regulation and enhancing mechanism were also discussed according to the emission spectra and fluorescence lifetimes.

Controllable coating polypyrrole on silicon carbide nanowires as a core-shell nanostructure: a facile method to enhance attenuation characteristics against electromagnetic radiation
摘要： Continuous polypyrrole (PPy) shells were coated on silicon carbide (SiC) nanowires to form core-shell nanostructures and the thicknesses of the shells were efficiently tuned through controlling the rate of polymerization. Compared with the composites loaded with pure SiC nanowires, the values of ε′ and ε′′ for the composites loaded with PPy@SiC nanowires were strengthened remarkably along with the increased thickness of the shells. The electromagnetic absorption (EA) bandwidth lower than ?10 and ?20 dB can be monitored in the area of 3.67-18.00 and 4.13-18.00 GHz, when 5 wt% of PPy@SiC nanowires were loaded in the composite. Meanwhile, the effective EA bandwidth can reach 6.88 GHz and the strongest reflection loss is ?58.6 dB.

Fabrication and tribological characterization of deformation-resistant nano-textured surfaces produced by two-photon lithography and atomic layer deposition
摘要： In this study, we demonstrated a novel strategy for fabricating deformation-resistant nano-textured surfaces. Ordered arrays of IP-DIP photoresist nanodots of various diameters were first fabricated using two-photon lithography. IP-DIP/Al2O3 core-shell nanostructures (CSNs) were then formed by conformally coating the nanodots with Al2O3 of different thicknesses via atomic layer deposition (ALD). The CSNs showed 85% lower coefficients of friction than the bare IP-DIP nanodots and exhibited minimal nanostructure deformation at contact pressures greater than 20 GPa. The IP-DIP/Al2O3 CSNs also have lower adhesion forces than the bare IP-DIP nanodots. The excellent deformation resistance and superior tribological properties of these CSNs demonstrate that the combination of two-photon lithography and ALD is a very promising solution to tribological issues in miniaturized systems.
