Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127400. [PMID: 37848108 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/19/2023]
Abstract
In the present study, the plant extract of the Quercus infectoria galls was used as a reducing, capping, and stabilizer agent for green synthesized MnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and MnO2/Fe3O4 nanocomposites (NCs) due to its reduction ability from polyphenol and antioxidant content. The green synthesized nanomaterials have been characterized by various techniques such as FTIR, UV-vis, XRD, SEM, EDS, and TEM. The average size of about 7.4 and 6.88 nm was estimated for the NCs crystals of SEM images and XRD analysis by the Scherrer and Williamson-Hall methods. The green synthesized MnO2/Fe3O4 NCs (dosage: 0.1 g) have shown high photocatalytic activity for the removal of Ni(II) in acidic and basic solutions under visible irradiation (220 V lamp). The removal efficiency for the Ni(II) solution (3.6 × 10-3 M) at pH = 3 was increased to pH = 12 from 56 % to 98 %. The oxidase-like activity of MnO2/Fe3O4 NCs at different dosages (0.05, 0.1, and 0.15 g) for the removal and colorimetric of phenol (1 g/40 mL) in the presence 4-AAp (1 g) was seen after only 28, 13, and 5 s, respectively. The kinetic evaluation results showed the pseudo-second-order kinetics model closely matched the adsorption capacity theoretical values qe,cal (578.03, 854.70, 892.85, and 917.43 mg.g-1) and experimental values qe,exp (521.84, 839.74, 887.86, and 913.22 mg.g-1) at different initial pH solution (3-12) for Ni(II) removal. In addition, the investigation of isotherm models revealed that the Langmuir model (R2 = 0.9955) explains a better estimate for a monolayer and favorable removal of Ni(II) ions onto NCs. Also, the low Temkin constant, BT < 0 (0.0200 kJ.mol-1), and positive ∆H° value (0.103 kJ.mol-1.K-1) illustrated that Ni(II) removal is physical sorption and endothermic process. However, the obtained thermodynamic results showed the negative values ΔG° with the increase in temperature (303-318 K) toward a spontaneous removal process of Ni(II). Finally, the plant antioxidant (200 to 3200 μg/mL) and antimicrobial activities (0.001 to 0.1 g/mL) for plant extract, MnO2 NPs, and MnO2/Fe3O4 NCs were evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria species.

Abstract
Dye is emissions aggravating aquatic ecosystem pollution, and photocatalysis is considered the most appealing option to remove dyes by degradation. However, the current photocatalysts suffer from agglomeration, large bandgaps, high mass transfer resistance, and high operation cost. Herein, we present a facile hydrothermally induced phase separation and in situ synthesis strategy for fabrication of sodium bismuth sulfide (NaBiS2)-decorated chitosan/cellulose sponges (NaBiCCSs). The NaBiCCSs demonstrate unique polysaccharide cellular structure (150-500 μm), uniformly immobilized NaBiS2 nanoparticles (70-90 nm), narrow bandgap (1.18 eV), high photocurrent (0.74 μA/cm2), and outstanding compressibility. Benefiting from the characteristics and the high affinity to dyes, the NaBiCCSs provide innovative synergistic adsorption-photocatalytic degradation model for dye removal, attaining a superior methylene blue removal rate of 98.38 % under visible light illumination and offering good reusability. This study offers a sustainable technical solution for dye contaminant removal.

Abstract
Here, we report monodispersed tricomponent MnNSs-SnO2@Pt and MnNFs-SnO2@Pt nanocomposites prepared by simultaneous SnO2 and Pt nanodot coating on Mn nanospheres (MnNSs) and Mn nanoflowers (MnNFs) for highly efficient CO2 photoreduction in visible-NIR-sunlight irradiation. MnNFs-SnO2@Pt showed higher efficiency with a quantum yield of 3.21% and a chemical yield of 5.45% for CO2 conversion under visible light irradiation for HCOOH formation with 94% selectivity. Similarly, MnNFs-SnO2@Pt displayed significant photocatalytic efficiency in NIR and sunlight irradiation for HCOOH yield. MnNFs-SnO2@Pt nanocomposites also showed robust morphology and sustained structural stability with shelf-life for at least 1 year and were utilized for at least 10 reaction cycles without losing significant photocatalytic efficiency. The high surface area (94.98 m2/g), efficient electron-hole separation, and Pt-nanodot support in MnNFs--SnO2@Pt contributed to a higher photocatalytic efficacy toward CO2 reduction.

Abstract
MnO2 nanoparticles have played a vital role in biomedical, catalysis, electrochemical and energy storage fields, but requiring toxic chemicals in the fabrication intercepts their applications. There is an increasing demand for biosynthesis of MnO2 nanoparticles using green sources such as plant species in accordance with the purposes of environmental mitigation and production cost reduction. Here, we review recent advancements on the use of natural compounds such as polyphenols, reducing sugars, quercetins, etc. Extracted directly from low-cost and available plants for biogenic synthesis of MnO2 nanoparticles. Role of these phytochemicals and formation mechanism of bio-medicated MnO2 nanoparticles are shed light on. MnO2 nanoparticles own small particle size, high crystallinity, diverse morphology, high surface area and stability. Thanks to higher biocompatibility, bio-mediated synthesized MnO2 nanoparticles exhibited better antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activity than chemically synthesized ones. In terms of wastewater treatment and energy storage, they also served as efficient adsorbents and catalyst. Moreover, several aspects of limitation and future outlook of bio-mediated MnO2 nanoparticles in the fields are analyzed. It is expected that the present work not only expands systematic understandings of synthesis methods, properties and applications MnO2 nanoparticles but also pave the way for the nanotechnology revolution in combination with green chemistry and sustainable development.

Abstract
Hydrothermal synthesis of surface-modified magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) was performed in a batch reactor at 200 °C for 20 min while using monocarboxylic acid with various alkyl chain lengths (C6 to C18) as surface modifiers. The short-chain cases (C6 to C12) successfully gave the surface-modified NPs with uniform shape and magnetite structure, while the long-chain cases (C14 to C18) gave the NPs with nonuniform shape and two structures (magnetite and hematite). Additionally, the synthesized NPs were revealed to have single crystallinity, high stability, and ferromagnetic property, which were useful for hyperthermia therapy via various characterization techniques. These investigations would guide the selection guidelines for a surface modifier to control the structure, surface, and magnetic properties of surface-modified magnetite NPs with high crystallinity and stability, particularly for hyperthermia therapy applications.

Abstract
In this research, we aim to investigate a flexible composite lithium-ion-conducting membrane (FC-LICM) consisting of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles with a TiO2-rich configuration. PVDF-HFP was selected as the host polymer owing to its chemically compatible nature with lithium metal. TiO2 (40-60 wt%) was incorporated into the polymer matrix, and the FC-LICM charge transfer resistance values (Rct) were reduced by two-thirds (from 1609 Ω to 420 Ω) at the 50 wt% TiO2 loading compared with the pristine PVDF-HFP. This improvement may be attributed to the electron transport properties enabled by the incorporation of semiconductive TiO2. After being immersed in an electrolyte, the FC-LICM also exhibited a Rct that was lower by 45% (from 141 to 76 Ω), suggesting enhanced ionic transfer upon the addition of TiO2. The TiO2 nanoparticles in the FC-LICM facilitated charge transfers for both electron transfer and ionic transport. The FC-LICM incorporated at an optimal load of 50 wt% TiO2 was assembled into a hybrid electrolyte Li-air battery (HELAB). This battery was operated for 70 h with a cut-off capacity of 500 mAh g-1 in a passive air-breathing mode under an atmosphere with high humidity. A 33% reduction in the overpotential of the HELAB was observed in comparison with using the bare polymer. The present work provides a simple FC-LICM approach for use in HELABs.

Abstract
Water pollution is one of the most important problems in the field of environmental protection in the whole world, and organic pollution is a critical one for wastewater pollution problems. How to solve the problem effectively has triggered a common concern in the area of environmental protection nowadays. Around this problem, scientists have carried out a lot of research; due to the advantages of high efficiency, a lack of secondary pollution, and low cost, photocatalytic technology has attracted more and more attention. In the past, MnO2 was seldom used in the field of water pollution treatment due to its easy agglomeration and low catalytic activity at low temperatures. With the development of carbon materials, it was found that the composite of carbon materials and MnO2 could overcome the above defects, and the composite had good photocatalytic performance, and the research on the photocatalytic performance of MnO2-carbon materials has gradually become a research hotspot in recent years. This review covers recent progress on MnO2-carbon materials for photocatalytic water treatment. We focus on the preparation methods of MnO2 and different kinds of carbon material composites and the application of composite materials in the removal of phenolic compounds, antibiotics, organic dyes, and heavy metal ions in water. Finally, we present our perspective on the challenges and future research directions of MnO2-carbon materials in the field of environmental applications.

Abstract
Introduction Accurate tumor diagnosis is essential to achieve the ideal therapeutic effect. However, it is difficult to accurately diagnose cancer using a single imaging method because of the technical limitations. Multimodal imaging plays an increasingly important role in tumor treatment. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has received widespread attention in tumor treatment due to its high specificity and controllable photocytotoxicity. Nevertheless, PDT is susceptible to tumor microenvironment (TME) hypoxia, which greatly reduces the therapeutic effect of tumor treatment. Methods In this study, a novel multifunctional nano-snowflake probe (USPIO@MnO2@Ce6, UMC) for oxygen-enhanced photodynamic therapy was developed. We have fabricated the honeycomb-like MnO2 to co-load chlorin e6 (Ce6, a photosensitizer) and ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO, T1-T2 double contrast agent). Under the high H2O2 level of tumor cells, UMC efficiently degraded and triggered the exposure of photosensitizers to the generated oxygen, accelerating the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during PDT. Moreover, the resulting USPIO and Mn2+ allow for MR T1-T2 imaging and transformable PAI for multimodal imaging-guided tumor therapy. Results TEM and UV-vis spectroscopy results showed that nano-snowflake probe (UMC) was successfully synthesized, and the degradation of UMC was due to the pH/ H2O2 responsive properties. In vitro results indicated good uptake of UMC in 4T-1 cells, with maximal accumulation at 4 h. In vitro and in vivo experimental results showed their imaging capability for both T1-T2 MR and PA imaging, providing the potential for multimodal imaging-guided tumor therapy. Compared to the free Ce6, UMC exhibited enhanced treatment efficiency due to the production of O2 with the assistance of 660 nm laser irradiation. In vivo experiments confirmed that UMC achieved oxygenated PDT under MR/PA imaging guidance in tumor-bearing mice and significantly inhibited tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice, exhibiting good biocompatibility and minimal side effects. Conclusion The multimodal imaging contrast agent (UMC) not only can be used for MR and PA imaging but also has oxygen-enhanced PDT capabilities. These results suggest that UMC may have a good potential for further clinical application in the future.

Abstract
The preparation of visible light-responsive efficient photocatalysts for removing organic contaminants from water and killing cancer cells has gotten a lot of attention due to the growing global concern. In this study, we have successfully fabricated an efficient AgBr/β-MnO2 nanocomposite via a facile deposition and precipitation method at room temperature. Techniques such as XRD, SEM-EDS, TEM, DRS, PL, EIS, ESR, and FTIR were used to determine the crystalline, structural, morphological, optical, and other properties. The SEM and TEM analyses reveal that AgBr NPs are decorated on the surface of β-MnO2, which possesses rods with a sphere-like structure for AgBr/β-MnO2. The EDX analysis confirms the existence of Mn, O, Ag, and Br elements in the nanocomposites without an extra peak, indicating that the synthesized samples are highly pure. The high photocatalytic performance of AgBr/β-MnO2 could be attributed to the formation of Ag NPs and the construction of the Z-scheme heterojunction between AgBr and β-MnO2. This may enhance fast light absorption and efficient photogenerated (e-/h+) pairs, as indicated by EIS and photoluminescence measurements, which in turn achieved high activity for the decomposition of MB (97%, in 12 min), RhB (98.9%, in 9 min), and paracetamol (80%, in 180 min), respectively. The kinetic model study proposed that the first-order model showed a better fit than the zero- and second-order for the photocatalytic decolorization of RhB dye. XRD analysis of 0.2 AgBr/β-MnO2 before and after recycling confirms the high stability of the catalyst. HPLC results showed that no detectable by-products are produced through the decomposition of paracetamol. Interestingly, 0.2 AgBr/β-MnO2 nanocomposites showed visible light-induced anticancer activity against A549 cancer cell lines. The mechanistic degradation pathway has been proposed using the involvement of active species like superoxide radicals (-•O2) and photoinduced holes (h+). The proposed work focuses on synthesizing effective photocatalysts in a less hazardous environment with superior biological activity.

Abstract
Due to their persistent and pervasive distribution and their adverse effects on human health, the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from the environment has been the focus of current research. Recent studies have shown that engineered nanomaterials provide great opportunities for their removal by chemical, physical and electrochemical adsorption methods, or as photo- or electrocatalysts that promote their degradation. This review summarizes and discusses the performance of recently reported nanomaterials towards PFAS removal in water treatment applications. We discuss the performance, mechanisms, and PFAS removal conditions of a variety of nanomaterials, including carbon-based, non-metal, single-metal, and multi-metal nanomaterials. We show that nanotechnology provides significant opportunities for PFAS remediation and further nanomaterial development can provide solutions for the removal of PFAS from the environment. We also provide an overview of the current challenges.

Abstract
With the development of nanotechnology, a theranostics nanoplatform can have broad applications in multimodal image-guided combination treatment in cancer precision medicine. To overcome the limitations of a single diagnostic imaging mode and a single chemotherapeutic approach, we intend to combat tumor growth and provide therapeutic interventions by integrating multimodal imaging capabilities and effective combination therapies on an advanced platform. So, we have constructed IO@MnO2@DOX (IMD) hybrid nanoparticles composed of superparamagnetic iron oxide (IO), manganese dioxide (MnO2), and doxorubicin (DOX). The nano-platform could achieve efficient T2-T1 magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, switchable photoacoustic (PA) imaging, and tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive DOX release and achieve enhanced synergism of magnetic hyperthermia and chemotherapy with PA/MR bimodal imaging. The results show that IMD has excellent heating properties when exposed to an alternating magnetic field (AMF). Therefore, it can be used as an inducer for tumor synergism therapy with chemotherapy and hyperthermia. In the TME, the IMD nanoparticle was degraded, accompanied by DOX release. Moreover, in vivo experimental results show that the smart nanoparticles had excellent T2-T1 MR and PA imaging capabilities and an excellent synergistic effect of magnetic hyperthermia and chemotherapy. IMD nanoparticles could significantly inhibit tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice with negligible side effects. In conclusion, smart IMD nanoparticles have the potential for tumor diagnosis and growth inhibition as integrated diagnostic nanoprobes.

Abstract
The construction of high-efficiency tumor theranostic platform will be of great interest in the treatment of cancer patients; however, significant challenges are associated with developing such a platform. In this study, we developed high-efficiency nanotheranostic agent based on ferroferric oxide, manganese dioxide, hyaluronic acid and doxorubicin (FMDH-D NPs) for dual targeting and imaging guided synergetic photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic/chemotherapy for cancer, which improved the specific uptake of drugs at tumor site by the dual action of CD44 ligand hyaluronic acid and magnetic nanoparticles guided by magnetic force. Under the acidic microenvironment of cancer cells, FMDH-D could be decomposed into Mn2+ and Fe2+ to generate •OH radicals by triggering a Fenton-like reaction and responsively releasing doxorubicin to kill cancer cells. Meanwhile, alleviating tumor hypoxia improved the efficacy of chemotherapy in tumors. The photothermal properties of FMDH generated high temperatures, which further accelerated the generation of reactive oxygen species, and enhanced effects of chemodynamic therapy. Furthermore, FMDH-D NPs proved to be excellent T1/T₂-weighted magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents for monitoring the tumor location. These results confirmed the considerable potential of FMDH-D NPs in a highly efficient synergistic therapy platform for cancer treatment.

Abstract
A facile and one-step colorimetric assay is described for the determination of glutathione (GSH). It is based on the use of manganese dioxide-decorated magnetic (Fe3O4@MnO2) nanocomposite that was prepared by an in-situ redox reaction. It exhibits oxidase-mimicking activity and can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) without H2O2to form a blue colored product (oxTMB) with an absorption maximum at 651 nm. Once GSH is introduced, the component of MnO2 can be rapidly reduced to Mn2+ ions, which leads to inhibit the formation of oxTMB. Based on these findings, a one-step colorimetric assay was developed for the detection GSH in the range of 0.2 to 25 μM with a low detection limit of 0.2 μM without using any procedures of separation and washing. Importantly, the proposed approach is also used to accurately evaluate the intracellular GSH levels. In our perception, the assay is rapid, sensitive and specific.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2 ) is a promising photo-thermo-electric-responsive semiconductor material for environmental applications, owing to its various favorable properties. However, the unsatisfactory environmental purification efficiency of this material has limited its further applications. Fortunately, in the last few years, significant efforts have been undertaken for improving the environmental purification efficiency of this material and understanding its underlying mechanism. Here, the aim is to summarize the recent experimental and computational research progress in the modification of MnO2 single species by morphology control, structure construction, facet engineering, and element doping. Moreover, the design and fabrication of MnO2 -based composites via the construction of homojunctions and MnO2 /semiconductor/conductor binary/ternary heterojunctions is discussed. Their applications in environmental purification systems, either as an adsorbent material for removing heavy metals, dyes, and microwave (MW) pollution, or as a thermal catalyst, photocatalyst, and electrocatalyst for the degradation of pollutants (water and gas, organic and inorganic) are also highlighted. Finally, the research gaps are summarized and a perspective on the challenges and the direction of future research in nanostructured MnO2 -based materials in the field of environmental applications is presented. Therefore, basic guidance for rational design and fabrication of high-efficiency MnO2 -based materials for comprehensive environmental applications is provided.

Abstract
An efficient iron-manganese modified biochar (FMBC) was successfully synthesized as a heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst through easy post-modification and applied for degradation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene isomers (ortho, para, and meta), and styrene (BTEXS) in the presence of H2O2. The catalyst was characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry. The effects of H2O2 concentration, FMBC dose, and initial pH on BTEXS degradation were also investigated. Results showed that degradation efficiency of FMBC for individual BTEXS varied from 83.05% to 94.12% in 3 h. Kinetic analysis showed that a first-order kinetic model with respect to BTEXS concentration could be used to explain the BTEXS degradation for FMBC/H2O2 system. The degradation reaction was more suitable in a wide pH range (3-10) than those in previous studies, thereby overcoming the low-efficiency problem of conventional Fenton reaction at high pH. Moreover, the doses of FMBC and H2O2 are a crucial factor affecting BTEXS degradation. Radical scavenger experiments revealed that ∙OH, ∙O2-, and 1O2 participated in the degradation process, and ∙OH was the major contributor. The synthesized catalyst is durable with stable BTEXS removal efficiency after seven consecutive cycles. The removal efficiency of BTEXS by FMBC in produced water reached 93.23% in 12 h, indicating FMBC has practical value.

Abstract
In order to overcome the drawbacks of Fe3O4 composite samples and greatly increase their performance in microwave absorption, magnetic Fe3O4 spindles coated with dielectric SnO2 nanorods and MnO2 nanoflakes have been successfully synthesized by a four-step simple hydrothermal route. This rationally designed magneto-dielectric ternary nanocomposite will introduce multiple reflection and conductive losses caused by its special multilayer structure and the effective complementarity of dielectric loss and magnetic loss. Therefore, its absorbing performance can be greatly improved. It is notable that the as-prepared Fe3O4@SnO2@MnO2 nanocomposites show a minimum reflection loss value of -50.40 dB at 17.92 GHz at a thickness of 3.9 mm and the absorption bandwidth ranges from 3.62 to 12.08 GHz. The as-prepared Fe3O4@SnO2@MnO2 ternary nanocomposite is expected to be a potential candidate for high-performance microwave-absorbing materials with intensive electromagnetic wave absorption and wide effective absorbing bandwidth.

Abstract
Because of micro/nanoscale manipulation and task-performing capability, micro/nanomotors (MNMs) have attracted lots of research interests for potential applications in biomedical and environmental applications. Owing to the low-cost, good motion behavior, and environmental friendliness, various low-cost metal oxides based MNMs become promising alternatives to the precious metal based MNMs, in particular for environmental remediation applications. Hereby, we demonstrate the facile and scalable fabrication of two types of bubble-propelled iron oxides-MnO2 core-shell micromotors (Fe3O4-MnO2 and Fe2O3-MnO2) for pollutant removal. The Fe2O3-MnO2 micromotor exhibits efficient removals of both aqueous organics and suspended microplastics via the synergy of catalytic degradation, surface adsorption, and adsorptive bubbles separations mechanisms. The adsorptive bubbles separation achieved more than 10% removal of the suspended microplastics from the polluted water in 2 h. We clarified the major contributions of different remediation mechanisms in pollutants removals, and the findings may be beneficial to a wide range of environmental applications of MNMs.

Abstract
In this study, the characteristics of different types of nanosheet membranes were reviewed in order to determine which possessed the optimum propensity for antifouling during water purification. Despite the tremendous amount of attention that nanosheets have received in recent years, their use to render membranes that are resistant to fouling has seldom been investigated. This work is the first to summarize the abilities of nanosheet membranes to alleviate the effect of organic and inorganic foulants during water treatment. In contrast to other publications, single nanosheets, or in combination with other nanomaterials, were considered to be nanostructures. Herein, a broad range of materials beyond graphene-based nanomaterials is discussed. The types of nanohybrid membranes considered in the present work include conventional mixed matrix membranes, stacked membranes, and thin-film nanocomposite membranes. These membranes combine the benefits of both inorganic and organic materials, and their respective drawbacks are addressed herein. The antifouling strategies of nanohybrid membranes were divided into passive and active categories. Nanosheets were employed in order to induce fouling resistance via increased hydrophilicity and photocatalysis. The antifouling properties that are displayed by two-dimensional (2D) nanocomposite membranes also are examined.

Abstract
In this study, graphite–metal oxide (Gr–MO) composites were produced and explored as potential anodic catalysts for microbial fuel cells. Fe2O3, Fe3O4, or Mn3O4 were used as a catalyst precursor. The morphology and structure of the fabricated materials were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively, and their corrosion resistance was examined by linear voltammetry. The manufactured Gr–MO electrodes were tested at applied constant potential +0.2 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) in the presence of pure culture Pseudomonas putida 1046 used as a model biocatalyst. The obtained data showed that the applied poising resulted in a generation of anodic currents, which gradually increased during the long-term experiments, indicating a formation of electroactive biofilms on the electrode surfaces. All composite electrodes exhibited higher electrocatalytic activity compared to the non-modified graphite. The highest current density (ca. 100 mA.m−2), exceeding over eight-fold that with graphite, was achieved with Gr–Mn3O4. The additional analyses performed by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy supported the changes in the electrochemical activity and revealed substantial differences in the mechanism of current generation processes with the use of different catalysts.

Abstract
Birnessite-related manganese dioxides (MnO2) have recently been studied owing to their diverse low-dimensional layered structures and potential applications in energy devices. The birnessite MnO2 possesses a layered structure with edge-shared MnO6 octahedra layer stacked with interlayer of cations. The unique layered structure may provide some distinct electrical properties for the 2D layered nanosheets. In this work, layered K-birnessite MnO2 samples are synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The resistive switching (RS) devices based on single K-birnessite MnO2 nanosheets are fabricated by transferring the nanosheets onto SiO2/Si substrates through a facile and feasible method of mechanical exfoliation. The device exhibits nonvolatile memory switching (MS) behaviors with high current ON/OFF ratio of ∼2 × 105. And more importantly, reversible transformation between the nonvolatile MS and volatile threshold switching (TS) can be achieved in the single layered nanosheet through tuning the magnitude of compliance current (Icc). To be more specific, a relatively high Icc (1 mA) can trigger the nonvolatile MS behaviors, while a relatively low Icc (≤100 μA) can generate volatile TS characteristics. This work not only demonstrates the memristor based on single birnessite-related MnO2 nanosheet, but also offers an insight into understanding the complex resistive switching types and relevant physical mechanisms of the 2D layered oxide nanosheets.

Abstract
Heavy metal removal by environmental-friendly nanostructured TiO2 adsorbent is a promising strategy to facilitate wastewater treatment. Here, a boiling water synthetic approach is explored to prepare mesoporous phosphated TiO2 (PTO) used for Cr(III) adsorption in polluted water. We obtain mesoporous 8-PTO (synthesized with 8% molar ratio of H3PO4) with a high specific surface area (278 m2/g), narrow size distribution (<5 nm), low pHzpc (pH of zero point of charge) value (∼1.0), and abundant surface hydroxyl group, which is attributed to the introduction of H3PO4 during the hydrolysis process of TiCl4 in boiling water. Importantly, the obtained 8-PTO shows better thermal stability than pure TiO2 and retains mesoporous structure after thermal treatment owning to [PO4] tetrahedral incorporated into the network of [TiO6] octahedral. The optimized 8-PTO exhibits superior Cr(III) adsorption up to 92 mg/g in sewage, which makes it one of the best materials among TiO2 adsorbent known for Cr(III) Removal (10-83 mg/g). Additionally, the as-prepared mesoporous 8-PTO adsorbent possesses an excellent reusability without significant degradation and can largely avoid the generation of secondary contaminants. A linear relationship (R2 = 0.9985) between adsorption capacity and hydroxyl content percentage of different PTO samples is revealed, indicating that the surface hydroxyl groups play a decisive role in the adsorption process. This study provides a facile approach to synthesize high specific surface area mesoporous phosphated TiO2 with rich surface functional groups for efficient Cr(III) removal in sewage.

Abstract
The textile industry consumes a large volume of organic dyes and water. These organic dyes, which remained in the effluents, are usually persistent and difficult to degrade by conventional wastewater treatment techniques. If the wastewater is not treated properly and is discharged into water system, it will cause environmental pollution and risk to living organisms. To mitigate these impacts, the photo-driven catalysis process using semiconductor materials emerges as a promising approach. The semiconductor photocatalysts are able to remove the organic effluent through their mineralization and decolorization abilities. Besides the commonly used titanium dioxide (TiO2), manganese dioxide (MnO2) is a potential photocatalyst for wastewater treatment. MnO2 has a narrow bandgap energy of 1~2 eV. Thus, it possesses high possibility to be driven by visible light and infrared light for dye degradation. This paper reviews the MnO2-based photocatalysts in various aspects, including its fundamental and photocatalytic mechanisms, recent progress in the synthesis of MnO2 nanostructures in particle forms and on supporting systems, and regeneration of photocatalysts for repeated use. In addition, the effect of various factors that could affect the photocatalytic performance of MnO2 nanostructures are discussed, followed by the future prospects of the development of this semiconductor photocatalysts towards commercialization.

Abstract
Although the collaborative therapy of chemotherapy (CT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is much more efficient for tumor treatment than monotherapies, premature leakage of drugs from nanocarriers and hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment (TME) result in systemic toxicity and suboptimal therapy efficiency. To overcome these limitations, we developed an intelligent nanoflower composite (termed FHCPC@MnO2) by coating functionalized polyphosphazene on superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoclusters and then growing MnO2 nanosheets as an outer shell. The FHCPC@MnO2 nanoflowers with multistage H2O2/pH/GSH-responsive properties could fully exploit TME characteristics, including supernormal glutathione (GSH) levels, low pH and high H2O2, to realize the specific release of drugs in tumors and maximum synergetic therapeutic effects. The MnO2 nanosheets can elevate O2 concentration by catalytic decomposition of H2O2 and can be simultaneously reduced to Mn2+ by overexpressed GSH in the acidic TME. Meanwhile, the inner polyphosphazene containing (bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-disulfide) is GSH- and pH-sensitively biodegradable to release the anticancer drug curcumin (CUR) and photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) in the TME. Therefore, the "triple-responsive" and synergetic strategy simultaneously endows the nanoflowers with specific drug release, relieving hypoxia and the antioxidant capability of the tumor and achieving significant optimization of CT and PDT. In addition, the resulting Mn2+ ions and Fe3O4 core enable in vivo T1/T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), while the released Ce6 can simultaneously provide a fluorescence imaging (FL) function. Unsurprisingly, the intelligent nanoflowers exhibited remarkable multimodal theranostic performance both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting their great potential for precision medicine.

Abstract
Owing to the implementation of increasingly stringent water conservation policies and regulations, the pulp and paper mill industry must make increased efforts to meet the limits for pollutant emissions. The primary pretreatment and secondary biochemical treatment methods used currently generally fail to meet the country-specific environmental regulations, and the wastewater must be processed further even after being subjected to secondary biochemical treatments. In this work, we synthesized Fe3O4/MnO2 nanocomposites (FMNs) with a flower-like structure for use in the heterogeneous photocatalytic treatment of biotreated papermaking wastewater. FMNs1.25, which were formed using a KMnO4/Fe3O4 molar ratio of 1.25, could be separated readily using an external magnetic field and exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than those of the other samples as well as MnO2 and Fe3O4. The effects of various experimental parameters on the photocatalytic activity of FMNs1.25, including the initial pH of the wastewater and the catalyst dosage, were determined. The common chemical oxygen demand (CODCr) reduction rate in the case of this sample reached 56.58% within 120 min at a pH of 3, the CODCr of effluent after treatment was 52.10 mg/L. Further, even under neutral conditions, the CODCr of the treated effluent was below the current limit for discharge in China. Moreover, the nanocomposites exhibited good recyclability, and their catalytic activity did not decrease significantly even after five usage cycles. This study should serve as a platform for the fabrication of effective photocatalysts for the advanced treatment of biotreated papermaking effluent and refractory organic wastewater.

Abstract
In this manuscript, hollow flower-like ferric oxide/manganese dioxide/trimanganese tetraoxide (Fe3O4/MnO2/Mn3O4) magnetically separable microspheres were prepared by combining a simple hydrothermal method and reduction method. As the MnO2 nanoflower working as precursor was partially reduced, Mn3O4 nanoparticles were in situ grown from the MnO2 nanosheet. The composite microspheres were characterized in detail by employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) and UV–visible spectrophotometer (UV–vis). Under visible light conditions, the test for degrading rhodamine B (RhB) was used to verify the photocatalytic activity of the photocatalyst. The results showed that the efficiency of the Fe3O4/MnO2/Mn3O4 photocatalyst in visible light for 130 min is 94.5%. The catalytic activity of photocatalyst far exceeded that of the Fe3O4/MnO2 component, and after four cycles, the catalytic performance of the catalyst remained at 78.4%. The superior properties of the photocatalyst came from improved surface area, enhanced light absorption, and efficient charge separation of the MnO2/Mn3O4 heterostructure. This study constructed a green and efficient valence heterostructure composite that created a promising photocatalyst for degrading organic contaminants in aqueous environments.

Abstract
In this study, MnO2-coated Fe3O4 nanocomposite (Fe3O4@MnO2) was utilized to decompose H2O2 to remove dyes via advanced oxidation processes and adsorptive bubble separation (advanced ABS system). The combination of H2O2 and Fe3O4@MnO2 generated bubbles and formed a stable foam layer in the presence of a surfactant; sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), separating dye from the solution. On the basis of radical quenching experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses, it was confirmed that the MnO2 shell of catalyst was reduced to Mn2O3 by H2O2, generating radicals and oxygen gas for the removal of dyes. In the advanced ABS system, ∙OH and 1O2 were the main radical species and the O2 concentrations of 0.34 and 0.71 mM were increased in the solution and headspace, respectively. The advanced ABS system demonstrated a high removal efficiency of methylene blue (MB) (99.0%) and the removal rate increased with increasing amounts of components (H2O2, catalyst and SDS). Also, the advanced ABS system maintained high removal efficiency of MB at a wide pH range of 3-9. In addition to the anionic surfactant of SDS, CTAC was applied as a cationic surfactant for the advanced ABS of anionic dyes. Lastly, the scale-up system was applied to remediate dye-contaminated river water and industrial wastewater for possible practical applications.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) always causes tumor hypoxia aggravation which can induce malignant cell proliferation and drug resistance. To overcome these disadvantages, a cascaded drug delivery system (Lipo/HMME/ACF@MnO2 -AS1411) is constructed for synergistic enhanced sonodynamic therapy. First, hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) and acriflavine (ACF) are encapsulated in the lipid layers and the inner aqueous cores of the liposomes, respectively. Then the ultrathin manganese dioxide (MnO2 ) nanosheets are coated on the surface of the liposomes by using KMnO4 and polyethylene glycol through "one step reduction and modification" method. Furthermore, the nanoparticles are decorated with tumor-targeting AS1411 aptamer through the phosphate groups on the DNA strand which can bind to Mn sites to obtain Lipo/HMME/ACF@MnO2 -AS1411 delivery system. Herein, HMME can act as a sonosensitizer, and ACF is used to prevent the formation of HIF-1α/HIF-1β dimerization to overcome the negative effects after SDT. The Lipo/HMME/ACF@MnO2 -AS1411 delivery system has multiple functions, including codelivery of HMME and ACF, pH/glutathione/ultrasound triple responses, synergistic cascaded enhancement of SDT, precise tumor-targeting, and magnetic resonance imaging. The in vitro and in vivo results suggest that the Lipo/HMME/ACF@MnO2 -AS1411 delivery system is a promising core-shell nanoplatform for synergistic enhancement of sonodynamic therapy, which can provide a new approach in the related research fields.

Magnetic Photocatalyst BiVO₄/Mn-Zn ferrite/Reduced Graphene Oxide: Synthesis Strategy and Its Highly Photocatalytic Activity. NANOMATERIALS 2018; 8:nano8060380. [PMID: 29844293 PMCID: PMC6027422 DOI: 10.3390/nano8060380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2018] [Revised: 05/25/2018] [Accepted: 05/28/2018] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Magnetic photocatalyst BiVO4/Mn-Zn ferrite (Mn1−xZnxFe2O4)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was synthesized by a simple calcination and reduction method. The magnetic photocatalyst held high visible light-absorption ability with low band gap energy and wide absorption wavelength range. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopies illustrated good electrical conductivity which indicated low charge-transfer resistance due to incorporation of Mn1−xZnxFe2O4 and RGO. The test of photocatalytic activity showed that the degradation ratio of rhodamine B (RhB) reached 96.0% under visible light irradiation after only 1.5 h reaction. The photocatalytic mechanism for the prepared photocatalyst was explained in detail. Here, the incorporation of RGO enhanced the specific surface area compared with BiVO4/Mn1−xZnxFe2O4.The larger specific surface area provided more active surface sites, more free space to improve the mobility of photo-induced electrons, and further facilitated the effective migration of charge carriers, leading to the remarkable improvement of photocatalytic performance. Meanwhile, RGO was the effective acceptor as well as transporter of photo-generated electron hole pairs. •O2− was the most active species in the photocatalytic reaction. BiVO4/Mn1−xZnxFe2O4/RGO had quite a wide application in organic contaminants removal or environmental pollution control.

Abstract
Ag/BiVO₄/Mn1-xZnxFe₂O₄ was synthesized with a dip-calcination in situ synthesis method. This work was hoped to provide a simple method to synthesis three-phase composite. The phase structure, optical properties and magnetic feature were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer (UV-vis DRS), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The photocatalytic activity was investigated by Rhodamine B (RhB) photo-degradation under visible light irradiation. The photo-degradation rate of RhB was 94.0~96.0% after only 60 min photocatalytic reaction under visible light irradiation, revealing that it had an excellent visible-light-induced photocatalytic activity. In the fifth recycle, the degradation rate of Ag/BiVO₄/Mn1-xZnxFe₂O₄ still reached to 94.0%. Free radical tunnel experiments confirmed the dominant role of •O₂- in the photocatalytic process for Ag/BiVO₄/Mn1-xZnxFe₂O₄. Most importantly, the mechanism that multifunction Ag could enhance photocatalytic activity was explained in detail.

Abstract
Macroporous particles that combine the property features of spherical structures and porous materials are expected to find use over micro- and macroscopic length scales from miniaturized systems such as cell imaging, drug and gene delivery to industrial applications. However, the capacity for de novo design of such materials is still limited. Here, a spontaneous process to fabricate monodisperse multifunctional macroporous particles (MMMPs) by high internal phase emulsion templating is reported. An interesting physical phenomenon involving self-emulsification and synergistic effects between nanoparticles and amphiphilic diblock copolymers is observed in this process. These MMMPs, featured with tailor-made pore structures, pH responsiveness, and magnetic response, could be used as stimuli-responsive carriers for multiple functional molecules with a high loading and releasing efficiency. This new understanding regarding the underlying phenomena that control self-emulsification behavior and synergistic action in emulsion systems provides a unique outlook and a novel approach to the design of potentially multifunctional porous materials for controllable release and delivery processes.
