Abstract
Catalytic polymerization pathways in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have recently drawn much attention for organic pollutant elimination owing to the rapid removal kinetics, high selectivity, and recovery of organic carbon from wastewater. This work presents a review on the polymerization regimes in AOPs and their applications in wastewater decontamination. The review mainly highlights three critical issues in polymerization reactions induced by persulfate activation (Poly-PS-AOPs), including heterogeneous catalysts, persulfate activation pathways, and properties of organic substrates. The dominant influencing factors on the selection of catalysts, activation regimes of reactive oxygen species, and polymerization processes of organic substrates are discussed in detail. Moreover, we systematically demonstrate the merits and challenges of Poly-PS-AOPs upon pollutant degradation and polymer synthesis. We particularly highlight that Poly-PS-AOPs technology could be promising in the treatment of industrial wastewater containing heterocyclic organics and the synthesis of polymers and polymer-functionalized materials for advanced environmental and energy applications.

Abstract
As a natural green catalyst, laccase has extensive application in the fields of environmental monitoring and pollutant degradation. However, susceptibility to environmental influences and poor reusability seriously hinder its application. To address these concerns, for the first time, manganese ion replaced copper ion as the active center to coordinate with guanosine monophosphate (GMP) for synthesizing mimic laccase with high catalytic activity. Compared with natural laccase, the laccase-like nanozyme (Mn-GMPNS) demonstrated superior thermal stability, acid-base resistance, salt tolerance, reusability, and substrate universality. Benefiting from the high catalytic activity of Mn-GMPNS, epinephrine, a significant neurotransmitter and hormone associated with numerous diseases, was visually detected within 10 min and a portable assay by smartphone. More encouragingly, Mn-GMPNS can efficiently degrade dye pollutants, achieving a decolorization rate over 70% within 30 min. Thus, the coordination between manganese ion and nucleotide demonstrated the potential in rational design of nanozymes with high catalytic activity, low cost, good stability, and good biocompatibility.

Abstract
Phycocyanin, a macromolecular protein known for its robust fluorescence, proves to be highly suitable for verifying the successful deposition of imprinted layers. In this study, an acid-propelled magnetic micromotor was successfully fabricated by utilizing surface imprinting and self-propelled nanomotor technology to achieve selective loading and capture of targets such as phycocyanin for future applications in environmental monitoring and precision drug delivery in vivo. This micromotor features a distinct recognition layer achieved through a template electrodeposition method. The outermost imprint layer of the micromotor was meticulously crafted using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) in the presence of a template, while the Pt layer serves as the supportive foundation, the Ni layer acts as the magnetic guidance component, and the innermost layer consists of metal Zn. In acidic environments, the Zn reacts to generate bubbles, which propels the micromotor's motion. The micromotor was comprehensively characterized using techniques such as scanning electron microscopy. Findings highlight the exceptional self-propulsion of the Zn-based micromotor, which is a fusion of molecular imprinting and micromotor technologies. This innovative design achieves an impressive maximum velocity of approximately 100 μm s-1, as well as commendable magnetic steering performance. Furthermore, the micromotor demonstrates the ability to imprint target protein through the imprint layer, enabling selective recognition and capture for transport of specific phycocyanin. In vitro cytotoxicity tests have also demonstrated that the micromotors are non-toxic to cells. This breakthrough concept offers a novel avenue for realizing targeted capture and transport of specific nutrients within the human gastric environment.

Abstract
Industrial and disinfection wastewater typically contains high levels of organic pollutants and residue hydrogen peroxide, which have caused environmental concerns. In this work, dual-asymmetric MnO2 @polymer microreactors are synthesized via pollutant polymerization for self-driven and controlled H2 O2 decomposition. A hollow and asymmetric MnO2 nanotube is derived from MnO2 nanorods by selective acid etching and then coated by a polymeric layer from an aqueous phenolic pollutant via catalytic peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-induced polymerization. The evolution of particle-like polymers is controlled by solution pH, molar ratios of PMS/phenol, and reaction duration. The polymer-covered MnO2 tubing-structured micromotors presented a controlled motion velocity, due to the reverse torque driven by the O2 bubbles from H2 O2 decomposition in the inner tunnels. In addition, the partially coated polymeric layer can regulate the exposure and population of Mn active sites to control the H2 O2 decomposition rate, thus avoiding violent motions and massive heat caused by vigorous H2 O2 decomposition. The microreactors can maintain the function of mobility in an ultra-low H2 O2 environment (<0.31 wt.%). This work provides a new strategy for the transformation of micropollutants to functional polymer-based microreactors for safe and controlled hydrogen peroxide decomposition for environmental remediation.

Abstract
H2 O2 -fueled micromotors are state-of-the-art mobile microreactors in environmental remediation. In this work, a magnetic FeOx @MnO2 @SiO2 micromotor with multi-functions is designed and demonstrated its catalytic performance in H2 O2 /peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for simultaneously sustained motion and organic degradation. Moreover, this work reveals the correlations between catalytic efficiency and motion behavior/mechanism. The inner magnetic FeOx nanoellipsoids primarily trigger radical species (• OH and O2 •- ) to attack organics via Fenton-like reactions. The coated MnO2 layers on FeOx surface are responsible for decomposing H2 O2 into O2 bubbles to provide a propelling torque in the solution and generating SO4 •- and • OH for organic degradation. The outer SiO2 microcapsules with a hollow head and tail result in an asymmetrical Janus structure for the motion, driven by O2 bubbles ejecting from the inner cavity via the opening tail. Intriguingly, PMS adjusts the local environment to control over-violent O2 formation from H2 O2 decomposition by occupying the Mn sites via inter-sphere interactions and enhances organic removal due to the strengthened contacts and Fenton-like reactions between inner FeOx and peroxides within the microreactor. The findings will advance the design of functional micromotors and the knowledge of micromotor-based remediation with controlled motion and high-efficiency oxidation using multiple peroxides.

Taking the advantages of the micromotor with dual roles (micro-rotor and micro-catalyst), under rotating magnetic field, each micromotor represents a microreactor which have micro-rotor for microenvironment stirring and micro-catalyst for the color reaction. Numerous self-string micro-reactions rapidly catalyze the substance and show the corresponding color for the spectroscopy testing and analysis. Additionally, owing to the tiny motor can rotate and catalyze within microdroplet, a high-throughput visual colorimetric detection system with 48 micro-wells has been innovatively conducted. The system enables up to 48 microdroplet reactions based on micromotors run simultaneously under the rotating magnetic field. Multi-substance, including their species difference and concentration strength, can be easily and efficiently identified by observing the color difference of the droplet with naked eye after just one test. This novel catalytic MOF-based micromotor with attractive rotational motion and excellent catalytic performance not only endowed a new nanotechnology to colorimetry, but also shows hold great potentials in other fields, such as refined production, biomedical analysis, environmental governance etc., since such micromotor-based microreactor can be easily applied to other chemical microreactions.

Abstract
Due to its low adverse effects, minimal invasiveness, and outstanding patient compliance, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has drawn a great deal of interest, which is achieved through incomplete reduction of O2 by a photosensitizer under light illumination that produces amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, tumor hypoxia significantly hinders the therapeutic effect of PDT so that tumor cells cannot be eliminated, which results in tumor cells proliferating, invading, and metastasizing. Additionally, O2 consumption during PDT exacerbates hypoxia in tumors, leading to several adverse events after PDT treatment. In recent years, various investigations have focused on conquering or using tumor hypoxia by nanomaterials to amplify PDT efficacy, which is summarized in this review. This comprehensive review's objective is to present novel viewpoints on the advancement of oxygenation nanomaterials in this promising field, which is motivated by hypoxia-associated anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is emerging as a promising therapeutic approach for clinical treatment against various cancers. However, ICB based monotherapies still suffer from low immune response rate due to the limited and exhausted tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes as well as tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. In this work, the cell membrane with surface displaying PD-1 proteins (PD1-CM) was prepared for immune checkpoint blockade, which was further combined with multifunctional and biodegradable MnO2 for systematic and robust antitumor therapy. The MnO2-based gene-engineered nanocomposites can catalyze the decomposition of abundant H2O2 in TME to generate O2, which can promote the intratumoral infiltration of T cells, and thus improve the effect of immune checkpoint blockade by PD-1 proteins on PD1-CM. Furthermore, MnO2 in the nanocomposites can be completely degraded into Mn2+, which can catalyze the generation of highly toxic hydroxyl radicals for chemodynamic therapy, thereby further enhancing the therapeutic effect. In addition, the prepared nanocomposites possess the advantages of low cost, easy preparation and good biocompatibility, which are expected to become promising agents for combination immunotherapy.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most intractable diseases owing to its high mortality rate and lack of effective diagnostic and treatment tools. Advancements in micro-/nanorobot (MNR)-assisted sensing, imaging, and therapeutics offer unprecedented opportunities to develop MNR-based cancer theragnostic platforms. Unlike ordinary nanoparticles, which exhibit Brownian motion in biofluids, MNRs overcome viscous resistance in an ultralow Reynolds number (Re << 1) environment by effective self-propulsion. This unique locomotion property has motivated the advanced design and functionalization of MNRs as a basis for next-generation cancer-therapy platforms, which offer the potential for precise distribution and improved permeation of therapeutic agents. Enhanced barrier penetration, imaging-guided operation, and biosensing are additionally studied to enable the promising cancer-related applications of MNRs. Herein, the recent advances in MNR-based cancer therapy are comprehensively addresses, including actuation engines, diagnostics, medical imaging, and targeted drug delivery; promising research opportunities that can have a profound impact on cancer therapy over the next decade is highlighted.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an emerging noninvasive treatment modality that utilizes low-frequency and low-intensity ultrasound (US) to trigger sensitizers to kill tumor cells with reactive oxygen species (ROS). Although SDT has attracted much attention for its properties including high tumor specificity and deep tissue penetration, its anticancer efficacy is still far from satisfactory. As a result, new strategies such as gas-assisted therapy have been proposed to further promote the effectiveness of SDT. In this review, the mechanisms of SDT and gas-assisted SDT are first summarized. Then, the applications of gas-assisted SDT for cancer therapy are introduced and categorized by gas types. Next, therapeutic systems for SDT that can realize real-time imaging are further presented. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of gas-assisted SDT for future clinical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Mass transfer is an essential factor determining photocatalytic performance, which can be modulated by fluid field via manipulating the kinetic characteristics of photocatalysts and photocatalytic intermediates. Past decades have witnessed the efforts and achievements made in manipulating mass transfer based on photocatalyst structure and composition design, and thus, a critical survey that scrutinizes the recent progress in this topic is urgently necessitated. This review examines the basic principles of how mass transfer behavior impacts photocatalytic activity accompanying with the discussion on theoretical simulation calculation including fluid flow speed and pattern. Meanwhile, newly emerged viable photocatalytic micro/nanomotors with self-thermophoresis, self-diffusiophoresis, and bubble-propulsion mechanisms as well as magnet-actuated photocatalytic artificial cilia for facilitating mass transfer will be covered. Furthermore, their applications in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, carbon dioxide reduction, organic pollution degradation, bacteria disinfection and so forth are scrutinized. Finally, a brief summary and future outlook are presented, providing a viable guideline to those working in photocatalysis, mass transfer, and other related fields.

Abstract
Recently, robots have assisted and contributed to the biomedical field. Scaling down the size of robots to micro/nanoscale can increase the accuracy of targeted medications and decrease the danger of invasive operations in human surgery. Inspired by the motion pattern and collective behaviors of the tiny biological motors in nature, various kinds of sophisticated and programmable microrobots are fabricated with the ability for cargo delivery, bio-imaging, precise operation, etc. In this review, four types of propulsion-magnetically, acoustically, chemically/optically and hybrid driven-and their corresponding features have been outlined and categorized. In particular, the locomotion of these micro/nanorobots, as well as the requirement of biocompatibility, transportation efficiency, and controllable motion for applications in the complex human body environment should be considered. We discuss applications of different propulsion mechanisms in the biomedical field, list their individual benefits, and suggest their potential growth paths.

Fenton micro-reactor on a bubble: A novel microbubble-triggered simultaneous capture and catalytic oxidation strategy for recalcitrant organic pollutant removal. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 835:155556. [PMID: 35489506 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.155556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 04/21/2022] [Accepted: 04/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
A novel catalyst-functionalized microbubble system was developed to trigger both of the Fenton reaction and the flotation separation on the gas-liquid interface of bubbles for efficiently removing the recalcitrant organic pollutants from waters. The Fe(II)-functionalized colloidal microbubbles (FCMBs) were featured as large specific surface area, great bubble density and high ·OH activation capacity. Approximately 98.2% and 93.1% of the triphenylmethane and aromatic azo pollutants were removed within 0.5 min, respectively. Particularly, at the lowest Fe(II) dose of 0.2 mmol/L, the FCMB-triggered Fenton still achieved 7.4-20.6% higher removal than the traditional Fenton method at 0.5 min. In addition to the Fenton oxidative degradation mechanism, the FCMBs themselves were able to capture and remove 20.1-36.8% of pollutants from water. Thus, FCMBs served as micro-reactors in terms of: (i) the target molecules and intermediates were adhered and separated by FCMBs; and (ii) the FCMBs enhanced the mass transfer of catalyst and exposed sufficient active sites on the bubble surface for catalytic oxidation reaction. Compared with the traditional Fenton, the present method showed the robust tolerance of pH (4.0-9.5) and salinity (up to 40‰) at decreased Fe(II) doses, and the bio-toxicity of intermediates was obviously lower. The FCMB-triggered pollutant capture and catalytic oxidation technology exhibited a great potency in engineering implementation given the flexible bubble construction, the integration and simplification of treatment unit, as well as the decreased chemical doses.

Abstract
Supporting mammalian cells against reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is essential. Bottom-up synthetic biology aims to integrate designed artificial units with mammalian cells. Here, we used manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO2-NSs) as catalytically active entities that have superoxide dismutase-like and catalase-like activities. The integration of these MnO2-NSs into 7 μm reactors was able to assist SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells when stressed with H2O2. Complementary, Janus-shaped 800 nm reactors with one hemisphere coated with MnO2-NSs showed directed locomotion in cell media with top speeds up to 50 μm s-1 when exposed to 300 mM H2O2 as a fuel, while reactors homogeneously coated with MnO2-NSs were not able to outperform Brownian motion. These Janus-shaped reactors were able to remove H2O2 from the media, protecting cells cultured in the proximity. This effort advanced the use of bottom-up synthetic biology concepts in neuroscience.
