RESUMO

Considering functional carbon nanodots (FCNs) are potential to be applied in many areas, their risk and toxicity to organisms are imperative to be evaluated. Thus, this study conducted acute toxicity test of zebrafish (Danio rerio) at embryonic and adult stage to estimate the toxicity of FCNs. Results show that the toxic effects of FCNs and nitrogen doped FCNs (N-FCNs) at their 10% lethal concentration (LC10) values on zebrafish are expressed in developmental retardation, cardiovascular toxicity, renal damage and hepatotoxicity. There are interactive relationships between these effects, but the main reason should be ascribed to the undesirable oxidative damage induced by high doses of materials, as well as the biodistribution of FCNs and N-FCNs in vivo. Even so, FCNs and N-FCNs can promote the antioxidant activity in zebrafish tissues to cope with the oxidative stress. FCNs and N-FCNs are not easy to cross the physical barriers in zebrafish embryos or larvae, and can be excreted from intestine by adult fish, which proves their biosecurity to zebrafish. In addition, because of the differences in physicochemical properties, especially nano-size and surface chemical property, FCNs show higher biosecurity to zebrafish than N-FCNs. The effects of FCNs and N-FCNs on hatching rates, mortality rates and developmental malformations are dose-dependent and time-dependent. The LC50 values of FCNs and N-FCNs on zebrafish embryo at 96 hpf are 1610 mg/L and 649 mg/L, respectively. According to the Acute Toxicity Rating Scale of the Fish and Wildlife Service, the toxicity grades of FCNs and N-FCNs are both defined as "practically nontoxic", and FCNs are "Relatively Harmless" to embryos because their LC50 values are above 1000 mg/L. Our results prove the biosecurity of FCNs-based materials for future practical application.

RESUMO

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) have been showing great promise in a wide range of applications. There remains a lack of clarity regarding the influence of nanostructure and composition on their Li storage performance. Herein, a dealloying technique to synthesize hierarchical nanoporous HEOs with tunable compositions is employed. Building upon the extensively studied quinary AlFeNiCrMnOx , an additional element (Co, V, Ti, or Cu) is introduced to create senary HEOs, allowing for investigation of the impact of the added component on Li storage performance. With higher specific surface areas and oxygen vacancy concentrations, all their HEOs exhibit high Li storage performances. Remarkably, the senary HEO with the addition of V (AlNiFeCrMnVOx ) achieves an impressive capacity of 730.2 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 , which surpasses all reported performance of HEOs. This result demonstrates the synergistic interaction of the six elements in one HEO nanostructure. Additionally, the battery cycling-induced reconstruction and cation diffusion in the HEOs is uncovered, which results in an initial capacity decrease followed by a subsequent continuous capacity increase and enhanced Li ion diffusion. The results highlight the crucial roles played by both nanoporous structure design and composition optimization in enhancing Li storage of HEOs.
