Abstract
Enhancements in the light response and hydrogen peroxide utilization are critical to the catalytic performance of heterogeneous Fenton-like perovskites. Here, in this research, oxygen vacancy-enriched La0.9Ca0.1Cu0.5Fe0.5O3-δ was prepared by a co-precipitation method with Cu substitution and Ca doping and demonstrated excellent performance for the degradation of bisphenol A. Both total organic carbon (TOC) removal and hydrogen peroxide utilization were close to 90% within 120 min at pH 3-7, where the TOC removal and hydrogen peroxide utilization were 2.5 times and 5.5 times of LaFeO3 in the absence of Ca and Cu doping. It demonstrated excellent stability to light irradiation and oxidation with respect to cycling and metal ion leaching. This revealed that oxygen vacancies were enriched in the catalyst with the substitution of Ca and Cu and contributed to the recombination of photogenerated electrons, thereby increasing the reduction efficiency of copper ions and accelerating the redox cycling of iron ions.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are well-developed light therapy methods for cancer; however, both have a few areas that need improvement. A sustained PDT effect depends on the sustained generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS); therefore, adjusting the type of photosensitizer or the reaction mechanism to prolong the duration of the oxidation-reduction reaction is a possible solution for the continuation of the PDT effect. Further, if PTT could be combined with other treatments, it would bring about a more satisfactory therapeutic effect. To increase the treatment effect of the above two therapeutic methods, a collaborative treatment model of photo/chemodynamic therapy (PCDT) and PTT is needed and is the focus of this study. On the one hand, PCDT is a therapy that integrates PDT with Fenton-like reactions, and Fenton-like reactions can help PDT to produce more ROS by making better use of H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment. On the other hand, the PTT effect can also promote PCDT effects to some extent because rising temperature can elevate the redox reaction rate. Therefore, a copper oxide semiconductor photosensitizer was selected in this research to realize the abovementioned therapeutic purposes and experimental concepts. A porous silica carrier can facilitate the uniform attachment of the copper oxide photosensitizer to the SiO2 surface to form a relatively uniform nanostructure, and the nanoporous structure can increase the performance of the whole material to a certain extent. Based on these perspectives, SiO2@CuO nanotube (NT), an agent of both Fenton-like photosensitization and photothermal reagent, is synthesized by the hydrothermal co-precipitation template approach to shrink the tumor through the combined effect of PCDT and PTT. In this system, copper ions can participate in the Fenton-like reactions and make better use of H2O2 to generate more ROS. Herein, 808 nm light was chosen for irradiation because of its suitable excitation ability, applicable penetration and low intrinsic damage. The experimental results show that SiO2@CuO NT is a promising agent that combines PCDT and PTT for cancer treatment. This work provides guidance for the synthesis of Fenton-like photosensitizers for the PCDT effect.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a light-based modality for tumor treatment that involves the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the combination of light, a photosensitizer, and molecular oxygen. Nevertheless, the therapeutic effects of PDT are limited by hypoxic conditions that worsen with oxygen consumption during the PDT process. Photo/chemodynamic therapy (PCDT) based on the Fenton reaction is one strategy to improve ROS generation, provided a highly effective Fenton reagent is developed. In this research, SiO2@Cu7S4 nanotubes (NTs) were synthesized as a PCDT agent. This double-valence metal-sulfide composite material can react with H2O2 at the tumor site. SiO2@Cu7S4 NTs can produce more ROS than the traditional PDT agents, and besides, they can also be used as a photothermal therapy (PTT) agent. SiO2@Cu7S4 NTs will trigger the PTT effect under 808 nm irradiation and generate a large amount of heat to eradicate cancer cells. This heat will also promote the PCDT effect by increasing the reaction rate. Thus, the SiO2@Cu7S4 NT is a suitable material for PCDT and PTT synergistic oncotherapy. The 808 nm laser is selected as the appropriate excitation source, providing adequate penetration and minimal harm to normal cells. The experimental data presented herein demonstrate the promising photosensitive, Fenton-like, and photothermal performance of SiO2@Cu7S4 NTs. Furthermore, the findings could promote the development of PCDT and PTT synergistic therapy. Thus, this research provides a feasible method to design a single, multifunctional material for cancer treatment.

Effect of Zn Doping in CuO Octahedral Crystals towards Structural, Optical, and Gas Sensing Properties. CRYSTALS 2020.

Abstract
Monodispersed CuO octahedral crystals were successfully synthesized using a low-temperature co-precipitation method. Zinc doping in CuO created surface defects that enhanced oxygen adsorption on the surface crucial for gas sensing applications. Pure and Zn-doped CuO sensor films were realized using the doctor blade method. The sensor films showed selective response towards a low concentration of NO2 at a lower operating temperature of 150 °C. Doping with Zn causes the resistance of the sensor film to decrease due to the enhancement of charge carriers with an analogous improvement in the sensor response. The observed decrease in sensor resistance agreed well with the findings of the work function studies. Zinc doping resulted in an increase in work function by 180 meV which, after NO2 exposure, was found to increase by a further 130 meV, attributed to the oxidizing behavior of the test gas.
