0D/3D direct Z-scheme heterojunctions hybridizing by MoS2 quantum dots and honeycomb conjugated triazine polymers (CTPs) for enhanced photocatalytic performance

Herein,a novel direct Z-scheme photocatalyst was accomplished by hybridization of 0D MoS2 quantum dots(MSQDs)and 3D honeycomb-like conjugated triazine polymers(CTP)(namely,CTP-MSQD).The unique 0D/3D hierarchical structure significantly enhanced the exposure of active sites and light harvesting property,while the formed p-n junction enabled the direct strong interface coupling without the necessity of any mediators.The optimized CTP-MSQD3 exhibited continuously increased visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity and strong durability both in Cr(VI)reduction and H2 evolution,featured a rate of 0.069 min^(-1) and 1070μmol/(hr•g),respectively,which were 8 times than those of pure 3D-CTP(0.009 min^(−1) and 129μmol/(hr•g)).We believe that this work provides a promising photocatalyst system that combines a 0D/3D hierarchical structure and a Z-scheme charge flow for efficient and stable photocatalytic conversion.

Carbon dots confined in 3D polymer network: Producing robust room temperature phosphorescence with tunable lifetimes

Room temperature phosphorescence(RTP) is important in both organic electronics and encryption. Despite rapid advances, a universal approach to robust and tunable RTP materials based on amorphous polymers remains a formidable challenge. Here, we present a strategy that uses three-dimensional(3 D)confinement of carbon dots in a polymer network to achieve ultra-long lifetime phosphorescence. The RTP of the as-obtained materials was not quenched in different polar organic solvents and the lifetime of the RTP was easily tuned by adjusting the amount of crosslinking or varying the drying temperature of the 3 D molecular network. As a demonstration of potential application, as-obtained RTP materials were successfully used to prepare RTP fibres for flexible textiles. As well as bringing to light a fundamental principle for the construction of polymer materials with RTP, we have endowed traditional carbon dots and polymers with fresh features that will expand potential applications.

NIR-IIb excitable bright polymer dots with deep-red emission for in vivo through-skull three-photon fluorescence bioimaging

It is of great significance to study the brain structure and function in deep-tissue for neuroscience research and bio-medical applications because of the urgent demand for precise theranostics.Three-photon fluorescence microscopic(3PFM)bioimaging excited by the light in near-infrared IIb(NIR-IIb,1,500–1,700 nm)spectral region is one of the most promising imaging techniques with the advantages of high spatial resolution,large imaging depth,and reduced scattering.Herein,a type of NIR-IIb light excitable deep-red emissive semiconducting polymer dots(P-dots)with bright 3PF and large three-photon absorption cross-section(σ3)at 1,550 nm was prepared.Then the P-dots were functionalized with polystyrene polymer polystyrene graft ethylene oxide functionalized with carboxyl groups(PS-PEG-COOH)and modified with NH2-poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)to synthesis photochemically stable and biocompatible P-dots nanoparticles(NPs).Further the P-dots NPs were utilized for in vivo 3PFM bioimaging of cerebral vasculature with and without the brain skull under 1,550 nm femtosecond(fs)laser excitation.In vivo 3PFM bioimaging of the mice cerebral vasculature at various vertical depths was obtained.Moreover,a vivid three-dimensional structure of the mice vascular architecture beneath the skull was reconstructed.At the depth of 350μm beneath the brain skull,3.8μm blood vessels could still be clearly recognized.NIR-IIb excitable P-dots assisted 3PFM bioimaging has great potential in accurate deep tissue bioimaging.
