Copper-Selenocysteine Quantum Dots for NIR-II Photothermally Enhanced Chemodynamic Therapy

Luo Zhang, Yiheng Dai, Shuojiong Pan, Yizheng Tan, Chenxing Sun, Muqing Cao and Huaping Xu ACS Appl. Bio Mater.; 2022, 5, 1794. Chemodynamic therapy has been appealing for effective cancer treatment. Particularly, Fenton-like reactions catalyzed by Cu2+-based nanoparticles showed promising prospects. Herein, we fabricated copper-selenocysteine quantum dots (Cu-Sec QDs) with the majority of Cu+ by a facile and robust thermal titration process. No high temperature or pressure is needed for this synthetic route of QDs. The selenocysteine functioned as the reducing agent as well as the stabili...

Laser-Induced Remote Healing of Stretchable Diselenide-Containing Conductive Composites

Peng Zhao, Jiahao Xia, Jianbing Liu, Yizheng Tan, Shaobo Ji and Huaping Xu ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces, 2021, 13, 50422. Remotely controlled on-demand functional healing is vital to components that are difficult to access and repair in distance such as satellites and unmanned cruising aircrafts. Compared with other stimuli, a blue laser is a better choice to input energy to the damaged area in distance because of its high energy density and low dissipation through the air. Herein, diselenide-containing polyurethane (PUSe) is first employed to fabricate visible light-responsive stretchable ...
