In situ fabrication of metal-organic framework derived hybrid nanozymes for enhanced nanozyme-photothermal therapy of bacteria-infected wounds

Xin Wang et al.

Summary: A novel metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived hybrid nanozymes strategy was reported for enhanced nanozyme-photothermal therapy (NPT) in treating infectious diseases. This strategy improved antibacterial effects and reduced adverse reactions by decorating platinum nanozymes on Zn-based photosensitizer. Experimental results confirmed the excellent antibacterial properties of the MOF-derived hybrid nanozymes, suggesting a promising antibacterial candidate with minimal adverse effects for biomedical applications.

Coupling band structure and oxidation-reduction potential to expound photodegradation performance difference of biochar-derived dissolved black carbon for organic pollutants under light irradiation

Ying Guo et al.

Summary: The difference in photodegradation performance of rice straw biochar-derived dissolved black carbon (DBC) for Tetracycline and Methylene Blue under visible light irradiation has been investigated. Tetracycline is more easily degraded by DBC compared to Methylene Blue. Singlet oxygen (O-1(2)), superoxide radicals (center dot O-2(-)), holes (h(+)), and triplet DBC ((DBC)-D-3*) contribute to the degradation of Tetracycline by DBC, while only singlet oxygen (O-1(2)), superoxide radicals (center dot O-2(-)), and (DBC)-D-3* are involved in the degradation of Methylene Blue by DBC. Tetracycline is more easily oxidized and Methylene Blue is more easily reduced. The interaction between DBC and Tetracycline is stronger compared to the interaction between DBC and Methylene Blue.

Facile construction of 2D g-C3N4 supported nanoflower-like NaBiO3 with direct Z-scheme heterojunctions and insight into its photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline

Yixiao Wu et al.

Summary: The composite photocatalyst g-C3N4/NaBiO3 showed superior performance in degrading tetracycline compared to individual g-C3N4 or NaBiO3, attributed to the accumulation of photoinduced electrons on g-C3N4 and holes on NaBiO3 for efficient generation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. The built-in electric field between g-C3N4 and NaBiO3 enhanced charge separation, leading to stable photodegradation activity for multiple cycles. This work not only provides a promising photocatalyst for antibiotic contaminants, but also sheds light on the photocatalytic removal of tetracycline.
