    摘要: In some embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for distilling a fluid by exposing the fluid to a porous membrane that includes a surface capable of generating heat. In some embodiments, the heat generated at the surface propagates the distilling of the fluid by converting the fluid to a vapor that flows through the porous membrane and condenses to a distillate. In some embodiments, the surface capable of generating heat is associated with a photo-thermal composition that generates the heat at the surface by converting light energy from a light source to thermal energy. In some embodiments, the photo-thermal composition includes, without limitation, noble metals, semiconducting materials, dielectric materials, carbon-based materials, composite materials, nanocomposite materials, nanoparticles, hydrophilic materials, polymers, fibers, meshes, fiber meshes, hydrogels, hydrogel meshes, nanomaterials, and combinations thereof. Further embodiments pertain to methods of making the porous membranes of the present disclosure.

    摘要: A nanosample capable of near-infrared light-triggered release of therapeutic molecules. The nanosample includes a plurality of nanocomplexes. Each of the nanocomplexes includes a nanoshell; a host molecule linked to the nanoshell; and a guest molecule linked to the host molecule. The nanoshell includes a shell. The nanocomplex has a plasmon resonance wavelength. When irradiated with electromagnetic radiation of the plasmon resonance wavelength, plasmon resonance of the nanocomplex releases the guest molecule. The nanoshell may also include a core, where the shell surrounds the core. The nanoshell may be a nanomatryoshka. A link between the nanoshell and the host molecule may be a gold-thiol interaction. The shell may include at least one metal, such as gold or silver. The core may be a liposome and/or silica. The host molecule may be: synthetic polymers, biopolymers, polynucleotides, nucleic acids, polypeptides, polysaccharides, polyterpenes, lipids, aptamers, and/or proteins. The guest molecule may be: pharmaceutical molecules, biopharmaceutical molecules, oligonucleotides, nucleic acids, dye molecules, and/or imaging contrast agents. The host molecule may be: aptamer, single-stranded DNA, double-stranded DNA, and/or human serum albumin. The guest molecule may be: docetaxel, lapatinib, and/or tumor necrosis factor alpha. The plasmon resonance wavelength may be in a near-infrared (NIR) water window.
