Facile Preparation of High-Performance Polythiophene Derivative and Effect of Torsion Angle Between Thiophene Rings on Electrochromic Color Change.

The electrochromic phenomenon of conducting polymer is mainly dominated by the π-π* band transition. The π conjugation is influenced by the coplanarity between polymer units, deviations from which can lead to an increased ionization potential and band gap values. In order to investigate the effect of plane distortion angle on electrochromic color in the main chain structure of polymerization, high-performance poly(3,3'-dimethyl-2,2'-bithiophene) (PDMeBTh) with a large plane distortion angle is successfully synthesized in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE) by the electrochemical anodic oxidation method.

Analysis of characteristics and changes in three-dimensional spatial and temporal distribution of aerosol types in Central Asia.

Atmospheric aerosol types and characteristics have regional and seasonal characteristics mainly due spatial and temporal differences in emission sources and diffuse transport conditions. We explored regional three-dimensional spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of aerosol types in Central Asia from daytime to nighttime by using long-term (2007-2021) CALIPSO lidar measurements. The three results are as follows: (1) Average aerosol optical depth (AOD) values during the 14 years were 0.

A novel electrochemiluminescence biosensor based on Ru(bpy)-functionalized MOF composites and cycle amplification technology of DNAzyme walker for ultrasensitive detection of kanamycin.

An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing platform for ultrasensitive and highly selective detection of kanamycin (KANA) was developed based on the prepared Ru(bpy)-functionalized MOF (Ru@MOF) composites by hydrothermal synthesis and Ag-dependent DNAzyme. In this sensor, the stem-loop DNA (HP) with the ferrocene (Fc) was used as substrate chain to quench the ECL emission generated by the Ru@MOF. Using the specific recognition effect between KANA and the KANA aptamer (Apt) and the DNAzyme dependence on Ag, the KANA aptamer as the pendant strand of the DNAzyme was assembled on Ru@MOF/GCE with the aptamer.

An enhanced photoelectrochemical sensor for aflatoxin B1 detection based on organic-inorganic heterojunction nanomaterial: poly(5-formylindole)/NiO.

A new strategy for enhancing the photoelectric activity of poly(5-formylindole) (P5FIn) was developed by introducing the inorganic semiconductor material (NiO) to form organic-inorganic heterojunctions. P5FIn/NiO heterojunctions were firstly prepared by combining hydrothermal synthesis and electrochemical polymerization. Due to the synergistic effect between P5FIn and NiO, the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of this heterojunction was significantly enhanced compared to pure P5FIn and NiO.

A simple "signal-on" photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor is constructed for Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detection based on electrochemically reduced graphene oxide/poly(5-formylindole)/Au (erGO/P5FIn/Au) nanocomposites. The nanocomposites are synthesized by simple electrochemical deposition method and show good photoelectrochemical performance. Poly(5-formylindole) (P5FIn) can generate electron-hole pairs under light irradiation, leading to the formation of robust cathode photocurrent.

A difunctional porous network of poly(indole-6-carboxylicacid) (PICA)/TiO nanocomposites is first prepared using TiO nanorod arrays as the scaffold. Because of the synergistic effect of PICA and TiO, the nanocomposites show good electrochemical performance, a high specific capacitance value (23.34 mF cm), and excellent galvanostatic charge-discharge stability.

Label-free photoelectrochemical immunosensing platform for detection of carcinoembryonic antigen through photoactive conducting poly(5-formylindole) nanocomposite.

Poly(5-formylindole)/electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (P5FIn/erGO) nanocomposite is firstly used to construct a label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor to detect carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). As photoactive material and electroactive mediator, the prepared P5FIn/erGO nanocomposite exhibits high photocurrent intensity under visible-light irradiation due to the synergistic effect of P5FIn and erGO. The anti-CEA is connected to the P5FIn/erGO modified electrode surface, and gold nanoparticles (AuNP) is used as cross-linking in the process.

A graphene quantum dots based electrochemiluminescence immunosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen detection using poly(5-formylindole)/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite.

A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor for ultrasensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was developed using signal amplification strategy based on poly(5-formylindole)/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite (P5FIn/erGO) and Au nanoparticle (AuNP) decorated graphene quantum dots (GQDs) (GQDs@AuNP). As an effective matrix for immobilization of primary antibody (Ab1), P5FIn/erGO nanocomposite facilitated the ion transport during the redox reactions and provided larger surface areas for the immobilization of Ab1. GQDs@AuNP was used as labels to conjugate with secondary antibody (Ab2), which improved electron transfer capability with stable ECL intensity.
