Ouyang J, Zhang L, Li L, Chen W, Tang Z, Ji X, Feng C, Tao N, Kong N, Chen T, Liu YN, Tao W. Cryogenic Exfoliation of 2D Stanene Nanosheets for Cancer Theranostics. NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2021; 13:90. [PMID: 34138343 PMCID: PMC8006518 DOI: 10.1007/s40820-021-00619-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2020] [Accepted: 01/31/2021] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
Stanene (Sn)-based materials have been extensively applied in industrial production and daily life, but their potential biomedical application remains largely unexplored, which is due to the absence of the appropriate and effective methods for fabricating Sn-based biomaterials. Herein, we explored a new approach combining cryogenic exfoliation and liquid-phase exfoliation to successfully manufacture two-dimensional (2D) Sn nanosheets (SnNSs). The obtained SnNSs exhibited a typical sheet-like structure with an average size of ~ 100 nm and a thickness of ~ 5.1 nm. After PEGylation, the resulting PEGylated SnNSs (SnNSs@PEG) exhibited good stability, superior biocompatibility, and excellent photothermal performance, which could serve as robust photothermal agents for multi-modal imaging (fluorescence/photoacoustic/photothermal imaging)-guided photothermal elimination of cancer. Furthermore, we also used first-principles density functional theory calculations to investigate the photothermal mechanism of SnNSs, revealing that the free electrons in upper and lower layers of SnNSs contribute to the conversion of the photo to thermal. This work not only introduces a new approach to fabricate 2D SnNSs but also establishes the SnNSs-based nanomedicines for photonic cancer theranostics. This new type of SnNSs with great potential in the field of nanomedicines may spur a wave of developing Sn-based biological materials to benefit biomedical applications.

Abstract
Ion activities are tightly associated with brain physiology, such as intracranial cell membrane potential, neural activity and neuropathology. Thus, monitoring the ion levels in the brain is of great significance in neuroscience research. Recently, nanosensors have emerged as powerful tools for monitoring brain ion levels and dynamics. With controllable structures and functions, nanosensors have been intensively used for monitoring neural activity and cell function and can be used in disease diagnosis. Here, we summarize the recent advances in the design and application of ion level nanosensors at different physiological levels, aiming to draw a connection of the interrelated intracranial ion activities. Furthermore, perspectives on the rationally designed ion level nanosensors in understanding the brain functions are highlighted.
