Superhydrophobic MXene Coating with Biomimetic Structure for Self-Healing Photothermal Deicing and Photoelectric Detector

Two-dimensional transition metal carbides (Ti3C2Tx MXene) have emerged as new candidates for applications in multifunctional devices owing to their outstanding performance. However, these electronic devices are easily disturbed by water, breakage, oxidation during use, and limited energy resources. To solve these problems, herein, inspired by nature, a novel superhydrophobic, healable photothermal deicing and photodetector (SHPP) with a “papillary structure” is successfully fabricated for the first time, by a simple layer-by-layer assembly spraying process with 0D/1D/2D nanomaterials. As a result, the superhydrophobic modified 2D MXene coating (FM coating) on the SHPP sensor exhibits outstanding self-cleaning, long-term durability (>20 days), as well as excellent photothermal deicing performances under near-infrared light. Meanwhile, the unique semiembedded nano-ZnO/1D silver nanowire supports the sensor with desirable photoelectric performance with UV light and a fast response time (∼1 s), and good cycle stability. Moreover, benefiting from the transparent self-healing substrate, the photothermal deicing and photodetector properties can be restored at room temperature. The bioinspired structures and function mechanisms offer SHPP sensors great potential for the utilization of clean light energy, sensing, self-cleaning, anti-icing, and so forth

Rational Design of Metal Organic Framework Nanocarrier-Based Codelivery System of Doxorubicin Hydrochloride/Verapamil Hydrochloride for Overcoming Multidrug Resistance with Efficient Targeted Cancer Therapy

Conventional organic and inorganic drug nanocarriers suffer from serious drawbacks such as low drug-storage capacity and uncontrolled release. Moreover, multidrug resistance (MDR) has been one of the primary causes leading to chemotherapy failure for cancers. The main reason for MDR is the overexpressed active efflux transporters such as P-glycoprotein. Here, zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-8, as one of the biocompatible metal organic frameworks (MOFs), is reported for the first time as the multidrug carrier to realizing the efficient codelivery of verapamil hydrochloride (VER) as the P-glycoprotein inhibitor as well as doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) as an anticancer drug to overcome the MDR in addition to realize the active targeted ability for an efficient anticancer effect. Uniform ZIF-8 nanoparticles encapsulating DOX and VER are achieved by a facile one-pot process, in which the VER is used to overcome the multidrug resistance. Furthermore, methoxy poly­(ethylene glycol)-folate (PEG-FA) is used to stabilize the (DOX+VER)@ZIF-8 to realize prolonged circulations and an active targeting drug delivery. In particular, the ZIF-8 exhibits high drug loading content up to ∼40.9% with a pH-triggered release behavior. Importantly, the PEG-FA/(DOX+VER)@ZIF-8 shows enhanced therapeutic efficiencies with much safety compared with the direct administration of free DOX both in vitro and in vivo. Near infrared fluorescent (NIRF) imaging indicates that the PEG-FA/(DOX+VER)@ZIF-8 can increase the drug accumulations in tumors for targeted cancer therapy. Therefore, the PEG-FA/(DOX+VER)@ZIF-8 multidrug delivery system can be used as a promising efficient formulation in reversing the multidrug resistance for targeted cancer therapy

Near-Infrared-Emitting Iridium(III) Complexes as Phosphorescent Dyes for Live Cell Imaging

The three near-infrared-emitting cationic iridium­(III) complexes [Ir­(pbq-<i>g</i>)₂(N^∧N)]⁺PF₆^– (pbq-<i>g</i> = phenylbenzo­[<i>g</i>]­quinoline; N^∧N = bipyridine (<b>1</b>), 1,10-phenanthroline (<b>2</b>), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (<b>3</b>)) have been demonstrated as phosphorescent dyes in live cell imaging. These complexes with different ancillary ligands show similar near-infrared (NIR) emission with λ_max,peak at 698 nm and λ_max,shoulder at 760 nm in CH₂Cl₂ solutions, with a moderate quantum yield of around 3%. However, these complexes behave quite differently as NIR dyes for live cell imaging. Complexes <b>1</b> and <b>2</b> exhibit exclusive staining in the cytoplasm with good cell membrane permeability under excitation at 488 nm, while <b>3</b> gives almost no cell uptake, as further determined by flow cytometry. Although the lipophilicities of these complexes follow the order <b>1</b> < <b>2</b> < <b>3</b>, their cytotoxicities are in the reverse order. The exceptionally low cytotoxicity of <b>3</b> could be attributed to its poor solubility in aqueous buffer and thus substantially low exposure dose. This comparative study suggested that the ancillary ligands could fine-tune the amphiphilicity and cytotoxicity of the cyclometalated iridium­(III) complexes and thus might play a key role in the design of NIR-emitting iridium­(III) complexes for practical applications in bioimaging
