“…16 Transition metal-based materials have attracted interest as alternatives to pure metal catalysts due to their mechanical and electrochemical strength, 17,18 and their exceptional reactivity, durability, and abundant availability make them suitable choices as catalysts. 19,20 Furthermore, their properties can be tailored by adopting different strategies such as alloying, 21 forming heterostructures with other potential materials, 22,23 tailoring their morphology 24 and doping with other suitable elements. Among the transition metal-based materials, the characteristics of cobalt-based materials make them appropriate candidates for catalytic applications, providing a viable solution to reduce the dependence on precious metals.…”

“…As one kind of smart materials, responsive supramolecular polymers have the ability to adapt to multifarious environmental stimuli, including light, temperature, ultrasound, pH, enzymes, sugars, redox, etc. − Among them, light stimulation has attracted great attention from researchers owing to the following inherent advantages. − As a simple yet efficient stimulus source, light can be applied outside the system and readily manipulated in space and time. Without the introduction of any reagents, the illumination process can instantly be on/off while the light stimulus is on/off.…”

To achieve efficient gene delivery in vitro or in vivo, nonviral vectors should have excellent biostability across cellular and tissue barriers and also smart stimuli responsiveness toward controlled release of therapeutic genes into the cell nucleus. However, it remains a key challenge to effectively combine the biostability of covalent polymers with the stimuli responsiveness of noncovalent polymers into one nonviral vehicle. In this work, we report the construction of a kind of cationic supramolecular block copolymers (SBCs) through noncovalent polymerization of β-cyclodextrin/azobenzeneterminated pentaethylenehexamine (DMA-Azo-PEHA-β-CD) in aqueous media using β-CD-monosubstituted poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-β-CD) as a supramolecular initiator. The resultant SBC exhibits superior biostability, biocompatibility, and light/pH dual-responsive characteristics, and it also demonstrates efficient plasmid DNA condensation capacity and the ability to rapidly release plasmid DNA into cells driven by visible light (450 nm). Eventually, this SBC-based delivery system demonstrates visible light-induced enhancement of gene delivery in both COS-7 and HeLa cells. We anticipate that this work provides a facile and robust strategy to enhance gene delivery in vitro or in vivo via visible light-guided manipulation of genes, further achieving safe, highly efficient, targeting gene therapy for cancer.

“…Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are considered as the most promising approach to remove the persistent organic pollutants via generating sufficient reactive oxygen species (ROS). , Recently, more and more attention has been redirected to photocatalysis, a typical AOP, owing to the nature of low energy consumption and environmental-friendliness. − Driven by light, the excited charge carriers would transfer to the photocatalyst surface and generate ROS to effectively degrade organic pollutants. − …”

The internal electric field induced by a piezoelectric effect is a promising method to suppress rapid electron–hole recombination of photocatalysis for environmental remediation. Herein, we fully utilized both piezoelectric and photocatalytic properties of Bi2WO6 nanoplates for the removal of organic pollutants. The degradation rate constant of piezo-photocatalysis is dramatically boosted to 0.077 min–1 by the Bi2WO6 nanoplates, which is 4.2-fold of the photocatalysis alone. The superior catalytic activity of Bi2WO6 nanoplates was attributed to the accelerated electron–hole pair separation efficiency associated with the enhancement of the piezoelectric effect-induced internal electric field. Based on the theoretical calculation, the bandgap of Bi2WO6 nanoplates would decrease from 1.99 to 1.67 eV under mechanical strains, indicating that broader light harvesting and faster charge transfer can be achieved with the assistance of the piezoelectric field. Accordingly, multiple reactive oxygen species (·O2 – and ·OH) are dominant for the degradation activity based on the quenching experiments and EPR analysis, outperforming piezocatalysis and photocatalysis. We have provided a new strategy to improve the catalytic decontamination performance.
