Article Abstract

The synthesis of the complete range of (Bi Sb )S solid solutions, where 0 ≤ ≤ 1, by the variation of the mole ratio of bismuth and antimony piperidine dithiocarbamate complexes is reported. There was a near linear expansion of and lattice parameters as the mole ratio of the antimony precursor was increased. The composition of the particles directionally followed the amount of precursor ratio used. When the composition of particles was compared to cell parameters, a slight deviation from Vegard's law was observed with a corresponding contraction of the parameter and an approximately 3.5% reduction of the lattice volume. The nanorods obtained showed aspect ratios that depend on the composition of the material. The Bi and Sb rich materials had high aspect ratios of 16.58 and 16.58 respectively with a minimum aspect ratio of 2.58 observed for = 0.50.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major global health issue, ranking as the sixth most common cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Risk factors for HCC include chronic hepatitis B and C, obesity, alcohol abuse, diabetes, and metabolic disorders. Current treatments, such as surgery, transplantation, and chemotherapy, are often ineffective in advanced stages due to tumor resistance and the inability to target key oncogenic pathways.

Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals capable of expanding the spectral region of solid-state are of great importance for many high-tech applications, yet their rational structure design remains a great challenge because of the conflicting property requirements among second harmonic generation (SHG) response, ultraviolet (UV) cut-off edge, and birefringence. Herein, based on the chemical disubstitution of the classic NLO crystal SrBeBO (SBBO), , substituting [BO] triangles with larger π-conjugated [BO] groups and substituting high-toxic [BeO] tetrahedra with environment-friendly [AlO] tetrahedra, a new high-performance aluminoborate NLO crystal, BaAlBO, has been successfully designed and synthesized. The theoretical calculations and optical property measurements indicate that BaAlBO exhibits not only the largest SHG response among the reported aluminoborates (2.

For a long time, it was believed that the monoclinic potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystal could not grow directly in solution, unlike its deuterated isomer DKDP. This perception was overturned when the crystal was observed to crystallize in highly supersaturated aqueous solutions. Till now, the phase stability of the monoclinic KDP remains unknown.

Alginate is known to readily aggregate and form a physical gel when exposed to cations, making it a promising material for bioprinting applications. Alginate and its derivatives exhibit viscoelastic behavior due to the combination of solid and fluid components, necessitating the characterization of both elastic and viscous properties. However, a comprehensive investigation into the time-dependent viscoelastic properties of alginate hydrogels specifically optimized for bioprinting is still lacking.
