zirconium/hypoxia

The crystal structure of zirconium oxide nanoparticles was refined by the Rietveld analysis of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data measured at 298 K. In the nanoparticles, two phases of tetragonal ZrO(2 - delta) (average particle size: 11 +/- 2 nm) and monoclinic ZrO2 (average particle size:

A zirconium-modified kaolin- clay (ZrMK) was prepared and used as a sediment amendment to control the release of phosphorus (P) from sediments in heavily polluted rivers under low dissolved oxygen (DO) condition. Results showed that the ZrMK exhibited excellent adsorption performance of phosphate in

To overcome the drawback of low photocatalytic efficiency brought by electron-hole recombination, Bi(2)WO(6) photocatalysts with oxygen vacancies were synthesized by zirconium doping. The oxygen vacancies as the positive charge centers can trap the electron easily, thus inhibiting the recombination

Co(1-x)M(x)Cr(2)O(4) (M = Li, Zr; x = 0-0.2) catalysts were prepared via the citric acid method and investigated for catalytic combustion of methane. Substitution at tetrahedral (A) sites with monovalent (Li) or tetravalent (Zr) metal ions led to a decrease or increase of the catalytic activity,

We report the facile synthesis methods of four materials, with the general formula SrMnO_3-δ, which have previously been synthesized in multiple steps, involving switching between different oxidizing and reducing gases, quenching, the use of zirconium metal as a reductant, etc. However, we

Improving the supply of O2 and the circulation lifetime of photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) in vivo would be a promising approach to eliminate hypoxic tumors. Herein, by taking advantage of the significant gas-adsorption capability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a biomimetic

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) usually aggravates tumor hypoxia, which promotes the survival and metastasis of residue cancer cells; furthermore, although PDT-induced immunogenic death of cancer cells can induce host antitumor responses, such responses are generally weak and not enough to eliminate the
