Two dimensional semiconductors for ultrasound-mediated cancer therapy: the case of black phosphorus nanosheets.
نویسندگان
چکیده
With black phosphorus (BP) as an example, the first two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor based sonosensitizer (Au@BP nanohybrids) was fabricated. Under ultrasound irradiation, Au@BP nanohybrids can generate 1O2 in deep tissues and eradicate tumors with high efficacy. This platform paves the way for the application of 2D semiconductors in sonodynamic cancer therapy.

Liquid exfoliation of solvent-stabilized few-layer black phosphorus for applications beyond electronics
Few-layer black phosphorus (BP) is a new two-dimensional material which is of great interest for applications, mainly in electronics. However, its lack of environmental stability severely limits its synthesis and processing. Here we demonstrate that high-quality, few-layer BP nanosheets, with controllable size and observable photoluminescence, can be produced in large quantities by liquid phase...
متن کاملThe Role of Three Dimensional Transvaginal Ultrasound in Detection of Intrauterine Device Displacement in Post Caesarean Section: A Case Report
Intrauterine Devices (IUDs) are used as an efficient and inexpensive method of contracep¬tion. Contraceptive efficacy depends on the intrauterine location of IUD and intrauterine displacement of the IUD leads to decreased contraceptive efficacy. Expulsion of IUD and its penetration into myometrium is one of the complications of IUD. In cases where IUDs are not detected by ultrasound method, in ...

The performance of electronic and optoelectronic devices based on two-dimensional layered crystals, including graphene, semiconductors of the transition metal dichalcogenide family such as molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) and tungsten diselenide (WSe2), as well as other emerging two-dimensional semiconductors such as atomically thin black phosphorus, is significantly affected by the electrical cont...
متن کاملBlack phosphorus nanosheets for rapid microRNA detection.
Herein, for the first time, a sensitive sensing platform for rapid detection of microRNA was developed by employing black phosphorus nanosheets as the fluorescence quenching material. The biosensor displayed a good linear response to microRNA ranging from 10 nM to 1000 nM. Moreover, the biosensor could distinguish triple nucleotide polymorphism.
متن کاملA density functional study on the mechanical properties of metal-free two-dimensional polymer graphitic Carbon-Nitride
Successful synthesis of the stable metal-free two-dimensional polymer graphitic carbon-nitride with remarkable properties has made it as one of the most promising nanostructures in many novel nanodevices, especially photocatalytic ones. Understanding the mechanical properties of nanostructures is of crucial importance. Thus, this study employs density functional theory (DFT) to obtain the mecha...
