Abstract
Water splitting is promising, especially for energy and environmental applications; however, there are limited studies on the link between water splitting and cancer treatment. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) can be used to convert near-infrared (NIR) light to ultraviolet (UV) or visible (Vis) light and have great potential for biomedical applications because of their profound penetration ability, theranostic approaches, low self-fluorescence background, reduced damage to biological tissue, and low toxicity. UCNPs with photocatalytic materials can enhance the photocatalytic activities that generate a shorter wavelength to increase the tissue penetration depth in the biological microenvironment under NIR light irradiation. Moreover, UCNPs with a photosensitizer can absorb NIR light and convert it into UV/vis light and emit upconverted photons, which excite the photoinitiator to create H2, O2, and/or OH˙ via water splitting processes when exposed to NIR irradiation. Therefore, combining UCNPs with intensified photocatalytic and photoinitiator materials may be a promising therapeutic approach for cancer treatment. This review provides a novel strategy for explaining the principles and mechanisms of UCNPs and NIR-driven UCNPs with photocatalytic materials through water splitting to achieve therapeutic outcomes for clinical applications. Moreover, the challenges and future perspectives of UCNP-based photocatalytic materials for water splitting for cancer treatment are discussed in this review.

Abstract
The current paper outlines the synthesis of pristine multi-wall carbon nanotubes (PMWCNTs)/Vanadium pentoxide V2O5 and functionalized multi-wall carbon nanotubes (FMWCNTs)/V2O5 nanocomposite for photocatalytic applications. The FMWCNTs were obtained by the oxidizing agents (H2SO4 and HNO3) to introduce the oxygenated functional groups. The samples were synthesized by hydrothermal approach and investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The photocatalytic activity of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), FMWCNTs/V2O5, and PMWCNTs/V2O5 nanocomposites was assessed via methylene blue (MB) degradation from water under visible light. The results demonstrated that the removal efficiency of MB by PMWCNTs, FMWCNTs/V2O5, and PMWCNTs/V2O5 could reach 90.4, 98.9, and 94.9%, respectively. It was noticed that MB adsorption and photodegradation tend to follow pseudo-second-order kinetics. The mechanism of MB photodegradation by FMWCNTs/V2O5 nanoparticles was explained. MWCNTs/V2O5 nanocomposites will allow further applications to remove other dyes and contaminants from wastewater.

Abstract
Industrial and textile dyes are the major source of water pollutants in the Coimbatore Districts of Tamil Nadu, India. The highly stable organic dyes from these industries are being discharged untreated into neighboring rivers, lakes, and ponds. Thus, the present study mainly focused on the preparation of bimetallic nanocomposite (Ag-Sn) through Free-facile Teflon autoclave methodology and their subsequent stimulation has given to the photocatalyst by visible light irradiation. This visible light stimulates and irradiates the photocatalysts from steady state to the excited state and might help in absorption of the nanosized dye materials and organic matter. The nanocomposite was characterized using UV, FTIR, Zeta-sizer, XRD and FE-SEM. These parameters exhibited significant lattice structures with an average size of 127.6 nm. Further the nanocomposite treated samples were tested for water quality parameters like TDS, BOD, COD, heavy metals, sedimentation rate and bacterial population. Likewise, the samples irradiated with visible light for photocatalytic activity exhibited a significant intensity of C/C0 at 0.42 and 0.28. The treated water used for green gram seedling assay exhibited significant growth. Scavengers from Ag-Sn bimetallic nanocomposite plays the major role in dye degradation. The results clearly suggest that Ag-Sn bimetallic nanocomposite can be used for wastewater treatment and the subsequent treated water can be utilized for agriculture purposes.

Enhanced Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Stereolithography 3D Printed Structures by the Effects of Incorporated Controllably Annealed Anatase TiO 2 Nanoparticles. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10010079.

Abstract
Fabrication of low-cost, durable and efficient metal oxide nanocomposites were successfully synthesized and reinforced with photo-resin via 3-dimensional printing. Here, we put forward a novel approach to enhance the mechanical and thermal behaviors of stereolithography (SLA) 3D printed architecture by adding TiO2 nanoparticles (TNPs) in different crystalline phases (anatase and rutile), which were obtained at different annealing temperatures from 400 °C to 1000°C. The heat-treated anatase TNPs were scrutinized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, diffusive reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Among all the samples, at 800 °C, annealed anatase TNPs exposed a highly crystalline anatase phase, having a low energy bandgap and a comparably high tensile strength (47.43 MPa) and high elastic modulus (2.261 GPa) for the 3D printed samples, showing improvement by 103% and 32%, respectively, compared with the printed pristine stereolithography resin (SLR) sample. Moreover, enhanced storage modulus and tan δ values were achieved via the better interfacial interactions between the incorporated nanofillers and the SLR matrix. In addition to this, enhanced thermal conductivity and thermal stability of the SLR matrix were also noted. The low energy bandgap and nanoscale size of the fillers helped to achieve good dispersion and allowed the UV light to penetrate at a maximum depth through the photo resin.

Abstract
The anatase type cluster TiO2-{001/101} was rapidly generated by a one-step hydrothermal method. The transformation process of coral-like TiOF2 nanoparticles to cluster TiO2-{001/101} was investigated for the first time, and the sensitization between cluster TiO2-{001/101} and tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) was also discussed. The degradation rate of TCH by cluster TiO2-{001/101} under simulated sunlight was 92.3%, and the total removal rate was 1.76 times that of P25. Besides, cluster TiO2-{001/101} settles more easily than P25 in deionized water. The study showed that cluster TiO2-{001/101} derived from coral-like TiOF2 nanoparticles had a strong adsorption effect on TCH, which was attributed to the oxygen vacancy (Ov) and {001} facets of cluster TiO2-{001/101}. The strong adsorption effect promoted the sensitization between cluster TiO2-{001/101} and TCH, and widened the visible light absorption range of cluster TiO2-{001/101}. In addition, the fluorescence emission spectrum showed that cluster TiO2-{001/101} had a lower luminous intensity, which was attributed to the heterojunction formed by {001} facets and {101} facets that reduces the recombination rate of carriers. It should be noted that cluster TiO2-{001/101} still has good degradation performance for TCH after five cycles of degradation. This study provides a new idea for the synthesis of cluster TiO2-{001/101} with high photocatalytic performance for the treatment of TCH wastewater.
