Hierarchical nanostructures with heteroatom doping have been considered as an important component in electrode materials for advanced supercapacitors. Herein, with the aid of C, N, and S codoped NiCo(CO)(OH)/C (NSH) with a hierarchical structure was synthesized through a facile one-step hydrothermal method. Notably, it is the first report on a carbon precursor as a structure inducer for designing a three-dimensional (3D) carnation-like hierarchical structure. Thanks to the carbon induction effect and the introduction of N/S dopants, the obtained NSH with a 3D architecture exhibits superior performances as electrode materials for supercapacitors. For example, NSH offers a high specific capacity of 277.3 mAh/g at 0.5 A/g. Moreover, the assembled NSH//reduced graphene oxide hydrogel-based hybrid supercapacitor exhibits high energy densities of 44.4 and 11.7 Wh/kg at power densities of 460 W/kg and 9.8 kW/kg, respectively. This result opens up opportunities for carbon-induced methods to control the morphology and structure of other similar materials.

Procalcitonin (PCT) is a reliable biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring bacterial infections and sepsis. PCT exhibits good stability both in vivo and in vitro, and its levels drastically increase in response to bacterial infection or inflammatory reactions in the human body, making it a dependable indicator for sepsis diagnosis and monitoring with significant implications for clinical diagnosis and treatment guidance. Currently, immunosensors are widely utilized in PCT detection due to their high sensitivity and low detection limits.

Potassium-sulfur (K-S) batteries are severely limited by the sluggish reaction kinetics of the cyclooctasulfur (cyclo-S) electrode with low conductivity, which urgently requires a novel cathode to facilitate activity to improve sulfur utilization. In this study, using the wet chemistry method, the molecular clip of Li is created to replace cyclo-S molecular with the highly active chain-like S molecular. The molecular clip strategy effectively lowers the reaction barrier in potassium-sulfur systems, and the stretching of S─S bonds weakens the binding between sulfur atoms, facilitating the transformation of potassium polysulfides (KPSs).

This study presents the direct measurement of proton transport along filamentous , or cable bacteria. Cable bacteria are filamentous multicellular microorganisms that have garnered much interest due to their ability to serve as electrical conduits, transferring electrons over several millimeters. Our results indicate that cable bacteria can also function as protonic conduits because they contain proton wires that transport protons at distances >100 µm.

Van der Waals electrode integration is a promising strategy to create nearly perfect interfaces between metals and 2D materials, with advantages such as eliminating Fermi-level pinning and reducing contact resistance. However, the lack of a simple, generalizable pick-and-place transfer technology has greatly hampered the wide use of this technique. We demonstrate the pick-and-place transfer of prefabricated electrodes from reusable polished hydrogenated diamond substrates without the use of any sacrificial layers due to the inherent low-energy and dangling-bond-free nature of the hydrogenated diamond surface.
