Electrode materials play a key role in the development of electrochemical sensors, particularly enzyme-based biosensors. Here, a novel NiCoS with reticulated hollow spheres assembled from rod-like structures was prepared by a one-pot solvothermal method and its formation mechanism was discussed. Moreover, comparison of NiCoS materials from different experiment conditions as biosensors was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and the best one that was reticulated hollow spheres assembled from rod-like structures NiCoS has been successfully employed as a matrix of AChE immobilization for the special structure, superior conductivity and rich reaction active sites. When using common two kinds of organophosphate pesticides (OPs) as model analyte, the biosensors demonstrated a wide linear range of 1.0×10-1.0×10gmL with the detection limit of 4.2×10gmL for methyl parathion, and 1.0×10-1.0×10gmL with the detection limit of 3.5×10gmL for paraoxon, respectively. The proposed biosensors exhibited many advantages such as acceptable stability and low cost, providing a promising tool for analysis of OPs.

Mercury-containing wastewater presents a significant environmental threat due to its high toxicity. Therefore, the urgent removal of mercury-laden wastewater is essential to protect ecosystems and public health. In this study, molybdenum disulfide (MoS) nanosheets modified with a silane coupling agent (designated as MS) were crosslinked with natural polymer chitosan (CS) rich in -NH and - OH groups to develop a highly efficient and environmentally friendly MoS-functionalized three-dimensional reticulated porous materials (denoted as MS/CTS) composite adsorbent.

Engineering bulk covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to access specific morphological structures holds paramount significance in boosting their functions in cancer treatment; nevertheless, scant effort has been dedicated to exploring this realm. Herein, silica core-shell templates and multifunctional COF-based reticulated hollow nanospheres (HCOFs) are novelly designed as a versatile nanoplatform to investigate the simultaneous effect of dual-drug chemotherapy and photothermal ablation. Taking advantage of the distinct structural properties of the template, the resulting two-dimensional (2D) HCOF, featuring large internal voids and a peripheral interconnected mesoporous shell, presents intriguing benefits over its bulk counterparts for cancer treatment, including a well-defined morphology, an outstanding drug loading capability (99.

Operating microbial fuel cells (MFCs) under extreme pH conditions offers a substantial benefit. Acidic conditions suppress the growth of undesirable methanogens and increase redox potential for oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs), and alkaline conditions increase the electrocatalytic activity. However, operating any fuel cells, including MFCs, is difficult under such extreme pH conditions.

For most commercial photodetectors (PDs), incident light is illuminated from the top or side of the device, but the opaque electrode (gold, copper, or aluminum, etc.) on the top will block part of the light from entering, wasting the efficiency of light utilization. Herein, to solve this issue, we introduced perovskite nanonet PDs with a hollow vertical structure by using a polystyrene microsphere template.

Since most plant movements take place through an interplay of elastic deformation and strengthening tissues, they are thus ideal concept generators for biomimetic hingeless actuators. In the framework of a biomimetic biology push process, we present the transfer of the functional movement principles of hollow tubular geometries that are surrounded by a net-like structure. Our plant models are the recent genera (balsa) and (papaya) as well as the fossil seed fern , which hold a net of macroscopic fiber structures enveloping the whole trunk.
