“…The QY was measured with quinine sulfate as a reference dissolved in 0.1 M sulphuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ), and the reference value is 0.54% at 370 nm. 25 Q x = Q std ( I x / I std ) ( η x 2 / η std 2 ) ( A std / A x )where Q x and Q std are the quantum yields of BDCNDs and quinine sulfate, η x 2 and η std 2 are the refractive indices, A x and A std are the optical densities and I x and I std are the integrated emission area of the synthesized BDCNDs and quinine sulfate.…”

“…Interestingly, ZCT20 was almost completely sterilized against E. coli (Sterilizing rate of 99.96%) and S. aureus (Sterilizing rate of 99.94%) under exposing to light irradiation, indicating that the synergistic effects of antibacterial activity existed between ZCT20 and light irradiation. This was attributed to the fact that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by ZCT20 under light irradiation, which can interact with cell membrane proteins, thereby damaging fatty acid chains, enzymes, and DNA, causing bacteria to lose physiological activity [71,72].…”

Photocatalytic technology is one of the promising technologies for wastewater treatment. Herein, zinc oxide/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (ZnO/CNTs) photocatalyst was successfully prepared by hydrothermal method with combining in-situ synthesis technology. The micro-morphology, crystalline structure, surface chemical elements, and optical properties were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis, and DRS technologies. The ZnO/CNTs photo-catalyst exhibited enhancement photo activity for degradation of organic pollutants under simulated light irradiation. Specifically, the photo-catalytic activity of the ZnO/CNTs catalysts improved with the rise of CNTs content in the composites. Investigation on the photo-degradation mechanism verified that the presence of CNTs in the catalyst not only optimized the band structure of ZnO semiconductor but also contributed to the transfer of photo-generated electrons and reducing the recombination of electron-hole pairs due to its excellent conductivity. Moreover, the active radical groups such as superoxide radical (O-2), hole (h+), and hydroxyl radical (·OH) played the dominated role for the pollutants degradation under the simulated sunlight irradiation. In addition, ZCT20 catalysts and light irradiation had synergistic effects on antibacterial activity, whose antibacterial rates against E. coli and S. aureus were up to 99.96% and 99.94%, respectively. Investigation on antibacterial mechanisms revealed that the existence of ROS and the continuous release of Zn2+ played an important role for improving the antibacterial activity of the ZCT20 catalyst under the simulated sunlight irradiation.

Quantum dots (QDs) semiconducting nanomaterials, have garnered attention due to their distinctive properties, including small size, high luminescence, and biocompatibility. In the context of triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC), notorious for its resistance to conventional treatments, QDs exhibit promising potential for enhancing diagnostic imaging and providing targeted therapies. This review underscores recent advancements in the utilization of QDs in imaging techniques, such as fluorescence tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, aiming at the early and precise detection of tumors. Emphasis is placed on the significance of QD design, synthesis and functionalization processes as well as their use in innovative strategies for targeted drug delivery, capitalizing on their ability to selectively deliver therapeutic agents to cancer cells. As the research in this field advances rapidly, this review covers a classification of QDs according to their composition, the characterization techniques than can be used to determine their properties and, subsequently, emphasizes recent findings in the field of TNBC‐targeting, highlighting the imperative need to address challenges, like potential toxicity or methodologies standardization. Collectively, the findings explored thus far suggest that QDs could pave the way for early diagnosis and effective therapy of TNBC, representing a significant stride toward precise and personalized strategies in treating TNBC.
