Abstract
A red emissive ruthenium(II) complex 1[PF6]2 of an amino ethanol substituted 1,10-phenanthroline-based ligand (L1) has been developed and characterized by spectroscopic analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 shows an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) enhancement and forms nano-aggregates in the poor solvent water and highly dense polyethylene glycol (PEG) media. The possible reason behind the AIE properties may be the rigidity gained through weak supramolecular interactions between neighbouring phenanthroline ligands and PF6- counterions. The AIE properties were supported by UV-vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies to substantiate the formation of nano-aggregates and to understand the morphology of the aggregated particles, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies were performed. Compound 1[PF6]2 was highly selective towards pyrophosphate ions (PPi) over other phosphates such as ATP, ADP, AMP and H2PO4- ions and other competitive anions in the PL spectroscopic channel in acetonitrile. The PL titrations of 1[PF6]2 with PPi in CH3CN furnished the association constant Ka = 1.08 × 104 M-1 and the detection limit was calculated as low as 1.54 μM. The PPi detection has been established through the unique H-bonding interaction, supported by 1H NMR titration. Finally, the cytotoxicity study and bioimaging were carried out for biological application. The complex shows very low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility and is suitable for intracellular PPi imaging.

Abstract
Lysine is one of the essential amino acids and plays a vital role in the growth, development and health of pigs. Blood lysine concentration is a direct indication of lysine status; however, current methods can not satisfy the demands for rapid and on-site lysine concentration measurement of swine serum. Here, we developed blue-emissive nitrogen-doped carbon dots as a fluorescence probe for the determination of lysine with high fluorescence quantum yield, stability, sensitivity and specificity. The carbon dots were entrapped within hydrogel microstructures to fabricate microfluidic chips for rapid assay for lysine quantification. We further developed an imaging attachment to integrate the microfluidic chip and a smartphone into a portable point-of-care testing platform. This platform requires only 3 μL sample and has a linear detection range of 25 to 300 μmol/L with a limit of detection less than 16 μmol/L, which covers the normal range of lysine concentration in swine serum. We tested lysine concentration in swine serum using this platform with high accuracy, low sample consumption, and within 3 min. Together, these results may provide a rapid and portable platform for dynamic monitoring of swine lysine status and contribute to precise feed formula modulation with low-protein diet strategy.

Abstract
This work developed a pH/NIR responsive antibacterial agent (CS-FeNPs) composed of chitosan (CS) and Fe3O4 nanoparticles (FeNPs). CS triggers bacterial attraction through surface charge, while Fe acts as a photothermal agent (PTA). The CS-Fe NPs exhibited antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against both bacteria (G+/G-). However, higher activity was observed against bacteria (G-) due to electrostatic interactions. The CS-FeNPs bind with the bacterial membrane through electrostatic interactions and disturb bacterial cells. Later, in an acidic environment, CS-FeNPs bind with bacterial membrane, and NIR irradiation leads the antibacterial activity. CS-FeNPs exhibited a potential photothermal conversion efficiency (η) of 21.53 %. Thus, it converts NIR irradiation into heat to kill the bacterial pathogen. The CS-FeNPs were found to be less cytotoxic with great antibacterial efficiency on planktonic bacteria and their biofilm, which indicates that they deserve to develop potential and safe treatment strategies for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Molybdenum-based materials have been intensively investigated for high-performance gas sensor applications. Particularly, molybdenum oxides and dichalcogenides nanostructures have been widely examined due to their tunable structural and physicochemical properties that meet sensor requirements. These materials have good durability, are naturally abundant, low cost, and have facile preparation, allowing scalable fabrication to fulfill the growing demand of susceptible sensor devices. Significant advances have been made in recent decades to design and fabricate various molybdenum oxides- and dichalcogenides-based sensing materials, though it is still challenging to achieve high performances. Therefore, many experimental and theoretical investigations have been devoted to exploring suitable approaches which can significantly enhance their gas sensing properties. This review comprehensively examines recent advanced strategies to improve the nanostructured molybdenum-based material performance for detecting harmful pollutants, dangerous gases, or even exhaled breath monitoring. The summary and future challenges to advance their gas sensing performances will also be presented.

Portable, quantitative, and sequential monitoring of copper ions and pyrophosphate based on a DNAzyme-Fe 3O 4 nanosystem and glucometer readout. Anal Bioanal Chem 2021; 413:6941-6949.

Abstract
In this report, portable, quantitative, and sequential monitoring of copper ions and pyrophosphate (PPi) with a single sensor based on a DNAzyme-Fe3O4 system and glucometer readout was performed. Initially, streptavidin was functionalized on the surface of magnetic Fe3O4 spheres through glutaraldehyde. Then, an invertase-modified DNA Cu substrate was connected to the magnetic Fe3O4 spheres by a specific reaction between streptavidin and biotin. The sensing system was formed by a hybridization reaction between the Cu substrate and Cu enzyme. In the presence of Cu2+, Cu2+ will recognize the Cu DNA substrate and form an “off-on” signal switch, thereby resulting in the separation of invertase from the Fe3O4 nanospheres. PPi recognizes Cu2+ to form a Cu2+-PPi complex, resulting in an “on-off” signal switch. Under optimized conditions, linear detection ranges for Cu2+ and PPi of 0.01–5 and 0.5–10 μM, and detection limits for Cu2+ and PPi of 10 nM and 500 nM, respectively, were obtained. Good selectivity was achieved for the analysis of Cu2+ and PPi. Satisfactory results were achieved for this biosensor during the determination of Cu2+ in real tap samples and PPi in human urine samples. This verified that the sensor is portable and low cost, and can be applied to the sequential monitoring of multiple analytes with a single point-of-care biosensor.

Abstract
Highly sensitive fluorescence detection of pyrophosphate ion (PPi) is in urgent demand but remains a great obstacle, ascribing to scarcity of high-performance materials with promising optical property and high affinity. Herein, we report the design and fabrication of a coumarin-based organic dye (DCCH-TPD) containing both hydrazide group and terpyridine moiety for PPi biosensing through Cu2+-induced photo-electron transfer (PET) effect and target analyte-switched competitive coordination reaction. Individual DCCH-TPD was found to be highly emissive, and displayed a turn-off response toward Cu2+ due to formation of Cu2+@DCCH-TPD and PET effect. The recognition of Cu2+@DCCH-TPD by PPi leads to generation of Cu2+@PPi complex, which greatly reduces the amount of Cu2+ coordinated with DCCH-TPD, subsequently decreasing PET effect. Significantly enhanced fluorescence is recorded and the fluorescence intensity is closely relied on PPi concentration. Thus, highly sensitive detection of PPi is achieved, and the detection limit was calculated to be 0.075 μM. Furthermore, the proposed sensor presented good selectivity, and excellent practical ability for application in arthritic fluid.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have become a major danger to public health because of the appearance of the antibiotic resistance. The synergistic combination of multiple therapies should be more effective compared with the respective one alone, but has been rarely demonstrated in combating bacterial infections till now. Herein, oxygen-vacancy molybdenum trioxide nanodots (MoO3-x NDs) are proposed as an efficient and safe bacteriostatic. The MoO3-x NDs alone possess triple-therapy synergistic efficiency based on the single near-infrared irradiation (808 nm) regulated combination of photodynamic, photothermal, and peroxidase-like enzymatic activities. Therein, photodynamic and photothermal therapies can be both achieved under the excitation of a single wavelength light source (808 nm). Both the photodynamic and nanozyme activity can result in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to reach the broad-spectrum sterilization. Interestingly, the photothermal effect can regulate the MoO3-x NDs to their optimum enzymatic temperature (50 °C) to give sufficient ROS generation in low concentration of H2 O2 (100 µm). The MoO3-x NDs show excellent antibacterial efficiency against drug-resistance extended spectrum β-lactamases producing Escherichia coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Animal experiments further indicate that the MoO3-x NDs can effectively treat wounds infected with MRSA in living systems.

Abstract
Recent years have seen molybdenum oxide quantum dots (MoOx QDs) as a booming material due to their attractive physical and chemical properties. However, there is still a large demand for MoOx QDs with long-wavelength emission by a facile strategy but these are more challenging to obtain. Herein, we rationally designed and successfully prepared nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped green emitting MoOx QDs (N,P-MoOx QDs) through a microwave-assisted rapid method. They exhibit a maximum emission at 500 nm under a 430 nm excitation. Moreover, by controlling their sizes in the process, we find that such a strategy enables the tuning of the emission color of N,P-MoOx QDs from green to blue. N,P-MoOx QDs show a significant fluorescence response to pH changes, and also display pH-sensitive near-infrared localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) at 866 nm. An effective and simple pH probe with a dual-signal response is achieved using N,P-MoOx QDs. As environmental sensors, N,P-MoOx QDs can be applied for sensitive detection of the concentrations of permanganate and captopril, offering the linear range from 0.08 to 25 μM and 0.1 to 31 μM, respectively. Benefitting from the effect of doping nitrogen and phosphorus, the probe could detect a wide range of pH changes (2-9) and is endowed with superior biocompatibility. Further, it is successfully used to "see" the intracellular pH variation by fluorescence confocal imaging. These findings not only demonstrate the achievement of a promising multifunctional probe for biosensing and environmental detection, but also pave the way for the fabrication of transition metal oxide QDs with tunable optical properties.

Abstract
By means of a simple and photo-induced method, four colors of molybdenum oxide quantum dots (MoOx QDs) have been synthesized, using Mo(CO)6 as the structural guiding agent and molybdenum source. The as-prepared MoOx QDs display diverse optical properties due to the different configurations of oxygen vacancies in various nanostructures. Among them, crystalline molybdenum dioxide (MoO2) with a deep blue color shows the most intense localized surface plasmon resonance effect in the near-infrared (NIR) region. The strong NIR absorption endows MoO2 QDs with a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 66.3%, enabling broad prospects as a photo-responsive nanoagent for photothermal therapy of cancer. Moreover, MoO2 QDs can also serve as a novel semiconductor substrate for ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analysis of aromatic molecules, amino acids and antibiotics, with SERS performance comparable to that of noble metal-based substrates. The therapeutic applications of MoO2 QDs open up a new avenue for tumor nanomedicine.

RSC Adv 2020; 10:3105-3114. [PMID: 35497721 PMCID: PMC9048723 DOI: 10.1039/c9ra09773b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2019] [Accepted: 01/10/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
A simple and modified top-down approach to synthesize molybdenum oxide (MoOx: x = 2, 3) quantum dots (QDs) is proposed in this study. This modified approach involves the conversion of a bulk powder material into thin films followed by a sonication induced chemical etching process for synthesising QDs. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is used for crystal structural characterization of MoOx thin films. The crystal structure properties of the MoOx QDs are analysed by High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) images and corresponding Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED) patterns. The optical band gap is estimated by Tauc's plot from UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectra. The excitation dependent photoluminescence (PL) emission of MoOx QDs as a function of acid concentration is investigated. The growth mechanism of QDs in different crystalline phases as a function of acid concentration is also exemplified in this work. The micro-Raman and Fourier Transform of Infrared (FTIR) spectra are recorded to analyse the vibrational spectrum of the molybdenum–oxygen (Mo–O) bonds in the MoOx QDs. A simple and modified top-down approach to synthesize molybdenum oxide (MoOx: x = 2, 3) quantum dots (QDs) is proposed in this study.![]()

Abstract
Bacterial infection caused by pathogenic bacteria has long been an intractable issue that threatens human health. Herein, the fact that nanocatalysts with single iron atoms anchored in nitrogen-doped amorphous carbon (SAF NCs) can effectively induce peroxidase-like activities in the presence of H2 O2 , generating abundant hydroxyl radicals for highly effective bacterial elimination (e.g., Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus), is reported. In combination with the intrinsic photothermal performance of the nanocatalysts, noticeable bacterial-killing effects are extensively investigated. Especially, the antibacterial mechanism of critical cell membrane destruction induced by SAF NCs is unveiled. Based on the bactericidal properties of SAF NCs, in vivo bacterial infections propagated at wounds by E. coli and S. aureus pathogens can be effectively eradicated, resulting in better wound healing. Collectively, the present study highlights the highly efficient in vitro antibacterial and in vivo anti-infection performances by the single-iron-atom-containing nanocatalysts.
