Polydopamine-coated Fe3 O4 magnetic nanoparticles synthesized through a facile solvothermal reaction and the self-polymerization of dopamine have been employed as a magnetic solid-phase extraction sorbent to enrich four phenolic compounds, bisphenol A, tetrabromobisphenol A, (S)-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol and 2,4,6-tribromophenol, from environmental waters followed by high-performance liquid chromatographic detection. Various parameters of the extraction were optimized, including the pH of the sample matrix, the amount of polydopamine-coated Fe3 O4 sorbent, the adsorption time, the enrichment factor of analytes, the elution solvent, and the reusability of the nanoparticles sorbent. The recoveries of these phenols in spiked water samples were 62.0-112.0% with relative standard deviations of 0.8-7.7%, indicating the good reliability of the magnetic solid-phase extraction with high-performance liquid chromatography method. In addition, the extraction characteristics of the magnetic polydopamine-coated Fe3 O4 nanoparticles were elucidated comprehensively. It is found that there are hydrophobic, π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions between phenols and more dispersible polydopamine-coated Fe3 O4 in water, among which hydrophobic interaction dominates the magnetic solid-phase extraction performance.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), an emerging cancer treatment modality, uses multivalent metal elements to convert endogenous hydrogen peroxide (HO) to toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) via a Fenton or Fenton-like reaction, thus eliciting oxidative damage of cancer cells. However, the antitumor potency of CDT is largely limited by the high glutathione (GSH) concentration and low catalytic efficiency in the tumor sites. The combination of CDT with chemotherapy provides a promising strategy to overcome these limitations.

Stretchable and self-adhesive conductive hydrogels hold significant importance across a wide spectrum of applications, including human-machine interfaces, wearable devices, and soft robotics. However, integrating multiple properties, such as high stretchability, strong interfacial adhesion, self-healing capability, and sensitivity, into a single material poses significant technical challenges. Herein, we present a multifunctional conductive hydrogel based on poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), dopamine-functionalized pectin (PT-DA), polydopamine-coated reduction graphene oxide (rGO-PDA), and Fe as an ionic cross-linker.

To prevent bacterial contamination on solid surfaces, a simple yet efficient antibacterial coating was developed in a substrate-independent manner by using the catechol-conjugated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC-DOPA). The CMC-DOPA was firstly synthesized via an aza-Michael reaction with methyl acrylate and the subsequent acyl substitution with dopamine. The coating strategy consists of spin-coating-assisted deposition of CMC-DOPA on polydopamine-coated substrates and coordination-driven crosslinks between catechol groups and Fe ions in sequence, producing the multilayered CMC-DOPA films.

Single-atom Fe-N-C (Fe -N-C) materials represent the benchmarked electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, single Fe atoms in the carbon skeletons cannot be fully utilized due to the mass transfer limitation, severely restricting their intrinsic ORR properties. Herein, a self-sacrificing template strategy is developed to fabricate ultrathin nanosheets assembled Fe -N-C hollow microspheres (denoted as Fe /N-HCMs) by rational carbonization of Fe chelating polydopamine coated melamine cyanuric acid complex.
