Improving the utilization of active sites in carbon catalysts is significant for various catalytic reactions, but still challenging, mainly due to the lack of strategies for controllable introduction of active dopants. Herein, a novel "Ar plasma etching-NH annealing" strategy is developed to regulate the position of active N sites, while maintaining the same nitrogen species and contents. Theoretical and experimental results reveal that the edge-hosted-N doped carbon nanotubes (E-N-CNT), with only 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Singlet oxygen is crucial for environmental cleanup, but its production is often limited due to rapid self-quenching during Fenton-like reactions.
  • Researchers developed a novel lamellar anthraquinone-based covalent organic framework (DAQ-COF) that improves production efficiency by strategically localizing active sites for better interaction with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under visible light.
  • This method resulted in an impressive increase in singlet oxygen production, allowing for complete degradation of bisphenol A within 5 minutes using PMS under sunlight, showcasing a new approach for enhancing Fenton-like catalysts.

Artificial photosynthesis represents a sustainable strategy for accessing high-value chemicals; however, the conversion efficiency is significantly limited by its difficulty in the cycle of coenzymes such as NADH. In this study, we report a series of isostructural triazine covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and explore their N-substituted microenvironment-dependent photocatalytic activity for NADH regeneration. We discovered that the rational alteration of N-heterocyclic species, which are linked to the triazine center through an imine linkage, can significantly regulate both the electron band structure and planarity of a COF layer.

Traditional cervical cancer diagnosis mainly relies on human papillomavirus (HPV) concentration testing. Considering that HPV concentrations vary from individual to individual and fluctuate over time, this method requires multiple tests, leading to high costs. Recently, some scholars have focused on the method of cervical cytology for diagnosis.

We report the first experimental realization of equilibrium dynamics of mutually confined waves with signed analogous masses in an optical fiber. Our Letter is mainly demonstrated by considering a mutual confinement between a soliton pair and a dispersive wave experiencing opposite dispersion. The resulting wave-packet complex is found robust upon random perturbation and collision with other waves.

Since the discovery that Fe O nanoparticle has intrinsic natural peroxidase-like activity by Yan et al in 2007, mimicking native enzymes via nano-engineering (named as nanozyme) pays a new avenue to bypass the fragility and recyclability of natural enzymes and thus expedites the biocatalysis in multidisciplinary applications. In addition, the high programmability and structural stability attributes of nanozyme afford the ease of coupling with electromagnetic waves of different energies, providing great opportunities to construct photo-responsive nanozyme under user-defined electromagnetic waves, which is known as photo-nanozyme. In this concept, we aim to providing a summary of how electromagnetic waves with varying wavelengths can serve as external stimuli to induce or enhance the biocatalytic performance of photo-nanozymes, thereby offering fascinating functions that cannot be achieved by pristine nanozyme.
