Abstract
Heterojunctions, particularly those involving BiOBr/BiOI, have attracted significant attention in the field of photocatalysis due to their remarkable properties. In this study, a unique architecture of BiOBr/BiOI was designed to facilitate the rapid transfer of electrons and holes, effectively mitigating the recombination of electron-hole pairs. Accordingly, the BiOBr/BiOI nanosheet heterojunction was anchored on dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS) by the immobilization of Bi2O3 nanodots in DFNS and the subsequent reaction with HBr and then HI vapors at room temperature. The 4 nm-Bi2O3 nanodots acted as a sacrificial template to form BiOX nanosheets by reaction with HX vapors (X = Br, I). The BiOBr/BiOI nanosheet heterojunction with the lateral size remained in the range of 90 to 110 nm and a thickness of 15 nm formed on DFNS, where the BiOBr:BiOI ratio in the product was controlled by the exposure time to HX vapors. The reaction sequence (HBr → HI vapors) was a key for the formation of BiOBr/BiOI nanosheet heterojunction with controlled composition. When the reaction of Bi2O3 nanodots with HI vapor was performed in the reverse sequence (HI→ HBr), the substitution of I- with Br- occurred to form BiOBr sheets on DFNS. The BiOBr/BiOI nanosheet heterojunction anchored on DFNS was used as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst for the decomposition of benzene in water under solar light, and its activity was superior to that of single BiOX nanosheets on DFNS.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 236:116526. [PMID: 37487920 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 06/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/26/2023]
Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an emerging non-invasive method used in cancer treatment. In PTT, near-infrared laser light is absorbed by a chromophore and converted into heat within the tumor tissue. PTT for cancer usually combines a variety of interactive plasmonic nanomaterials with laser irradiation. PTT enjoys PT agents with high conversion efficiency to convert light into heat to destroy malignant tissue. In this review, published studies concerned with the use of nanoparticles (NPs) in PTT were collected by a systematic and comprehensive search of PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Scopus databases. Gold, silver and iron NPs were the most frequent choice in PTT. The use of surface modified NPs allowed selective delivery and led to a precise controlled increase in the local temperature. The presence of NPs during PTT can increase the reactive generation of oxygen species, damage the DNA and mitochondria, leading to cancer cell death mainly via apoptosis. Many studies recently used core-shell metal NPs, and the effects of the polymer coating or ligands targeted to specific cellular receptors in order to increase PTT efficiency were often reported. The effective parameters (NP type, size, concentration, coated polymers or attached ligands, exposure conditions, cell line or type, and cell death mechanisms) were investigated individually. With the advances in chemical synthesis technology, NPs with different shapes, sizes, and coatings can be prepared with desirable properties, to achieve multimodal cancer treatment with precision and specificity.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising approach for treating cancer. However, it suffers from the formation of local lesions and subsequent bacterial infection in the damaged area. To overcome these challenges, the strategy of mild PTT following the high-temperature ablation of tumors is studied to achieve combined tumor suppression, wound healing, and bacterial eradication using a hydrogel. Herein, Bi2S3 nanorods (NRs) are employed as a photothermal agent and coated with hyaluronic acid to obtain BiH NRs with high colloidal stability. These NRs and allantoin are loaded into an injectable Fe3+-coordinated hydrogel composed of sodium alginate (Alg) and Farsi gum (FG), which is extracted from Amygdalus scoparia Spach. The hydrogel can be used for localized cancer therapy by high-temperature PTT, followed by wound repair through the combination of mild hyperthermia and allantoin-mediated induction of cell proliferation. In addition, an outstanding blood clotting effect is observed due to the water-absorbing ability and negative charge of FG and Alg as well as the porous structure of hydrogels. The hydrogels also eradicate infection owing to the local heat generation and intrinsic antimicrobial activity of the NRs. Lastly, in vivo studies reveal an efficient photothermal-based tumor eradication and accelerated wound healing by the hydrogel.

Abstract
We report on the controlled synthesis and functionalization in two steps of elongated Bi2S3 nanoparticles within a wide range of sizes. First, we show the effect of the temperature and reaction time on the synthesis of two series of nanoparticles by the reaction of thioacetamide with bismuth(III) neodecanoate in the presence of organic surfactants. At 105 °C and long reaction times, nanoneedles of about 45 nm in length containing larger crystallites are obtained, while highly crystalline nanorods of about 30 nm in length are dominant at 165 °C, regardless of the reaction time. The optical properties of both types of nanoparticles show an enhancement of the band gap compared to bulk Bi2S3. This is likely to arise from quantum confinement effects caused by the small particle dimensions relative to the typical exciton size, together with an increase in near-infrared absorption due to the anisotropic particle shape. Second, a ligand exchange approach has been developed to transfer the Bi2S3 nanoparticles to aqueous solutions by grafting dimercaptosuccinic acid onto the surface of the particles. The as-prepared coated nanoparticles show good stability in water, in a wide biological pH range, and in phosphate-buffered saline solutions. Overall, this work highlights the controlled design at all levels - from the inorganic core to the organic surface coating - of elongated Bi2S3 nanoparticles, leading to a tunable optical response by tuning their morphology and size.

Abstract
Gadolinium(III) nanoconjugate contrast agents (CAs) provide significant advantages over small-molecule complexes for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), namely increased Gd(III) payload and enhanced proton relaxation efficiency (relaxivity, r1). Previous research has demonstrated that both the structure and surface chemistry of the nanomaterial substantially influence contrast. We hypothesized that inserting Gd(III) complexes in the pores of a metal-organic framework (MOF) might offer a unique strategy to further explore the parameters of nanomaterial structure and composition, which influence relaxivity. Herein, we postsynthetically incorporate Gd(III) complexes into Zr-MOFs using solvent-assisted ligand incorporation (SALI). Through the study of Zr-based MOFs, NU-1000 (nano and micronsize particles) and NU-901, we investigated the impact of particle size and pore shape on proton relaxivity. The SALI-functionalized Gd nano NU-1000 hybrid material displayed the highest loading of the Gd(III) complex (1.9 ± 0.1 complexes per node) and exhibited the most enhanced proton relaxivity (r1 of 26 ± 1 mM-1 s-1 at 1.4 T). Based on nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) analysis, we can attribute the performance of Gd nano NU-1000 to the nanoscale size of the MOF particles and larger pore size that allows for rapid water exchange. We have demonstrated that SALI is a promising method for incorporating Gd(III) complexes into MOF materials and identified crucial design parameters for the preparation of next generation Gd(III)-functionalized MOF MRI contrast agents.

Abstract
Studies of nanosized forms of bismuth (Bi)-containing materials have recently expanded from optical, chemical, electronic, and engineering fields towards biomedicine, as a result of their safety, cost-effective fabrication processes, large surface area, high stability, and high versatility in terms of shape, size, and porosity. Bi, as a nontoxic and inexpensive diamagnetic heavy metal, has been used for the fabrication of various nanoparticles (NPs) with unique structural, physicochemical, and compositional features to combine various properties, such as a favourably high X-ray attenuation coefficient and near-infrared (NIR) absorbance, excellent light-to-heat conversion efficiency, and a long circulation half-life. These features have rendered bismuth-containing nanoparticles (BiNPs) with desirable performance for combined cancer therapy, photothermal and radiation therapy (RT), multimodal imaging, theranostics, drug delivery, biosensing, and tissue engineering. Bismuth oxyhalides (BiOx, where X is Cl, Br or I) and bismuth chalcogenides, including bismuth oxide, bismuth sulfide, bismuth selenide, and bismuth telluride, have been heavily investigated for therapeutic purposes. The pharmacokinetics of these BiNPs can be easily improved via the facile modification of their surfaces with biocompatible polymers and proteins, resulting in enhanced colloidal stability, extended blood circulation, and reduced toxicity. Desirable antibacterial effects, bone regeneration potential, and tumor growth suppression under NIR laser radiation are the main biomedical research areas involving BiNPs that have opened up a new paradigm for their future clinical translation. This review emphasizes the synthesis and state-of-the-art progress related to the biomedical applications of BiNPs with different structures, sizes, and compositions. Furthermore, a comprehensive discussion focusing on challenges and future opportunities is presented.
