Despite being a commercially important product, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) continue to raise concerns over human health due to their structural similarity to asbestos. Indeed, exposure to MWCNT has been shown to induce lung cancer and even mesothelioma, but contradictory results also exist. To clarify the potentially carcinogenic effects of rigid and rod-like MWCNT and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms, the effects of MWCNT on human mesothelial cell MeT-5A were examined throughout 3 months of continuous exposure, including cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and cell motility. It was found that MWCNT did not affect MeT-5A cell proliferation at 10 μg/cm2 within 72 h treatment, but under the same condition, MWCNT induced genotoxicity and perturbed cell motility. In addition, MeT-5A cells demonstrated different cellular responses to MWCNT after short-term and long-term exposure. Taken together, our results indicated a possible carcinogenic potential for MWCNT after long-term treatment, in which Annexin family proteins might be involved.

Simple Method

In this work, the development of solution-processed bulk heterojunction hybrid solar cells based on CdSe quantum dot (QD) and conjugated polymer poly [2,6-(4,4-bis-(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-cyclopenta [2,1-b;3,4-b] dithiophene)-alt-4,7-(2,1,3-benzothiadiazole)], PCPDTBT was performed. The photoactive layer was formed by integrating CdSe QDs onto multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). A simple method of thiol functionalization in the interface CNTs and CdSe QDs has been investigated. Integration of CNTs enhances long-term performance of solar cells devices. Initial PCE values of about 1.9 % under AM1.5G illumination have been achieved for this hybrid CNT-CdSe photovoltaic device. In addition, the long-term stability of the photovoltaic performance of the devices was investigated and found superior to CdSe QD only based devices. About 84 % of the initial PCE remained after storage in a glove box for one year without any further encapsulation. It is concluded that the improvement is mainly due to a strong binding between thiol functionalized CNTs and CdSe QDs, resulting preservation of the nanomorphology of the hybrid film over time.
