Signal amplification is essential for ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) bioanalysis. Exploration of the facile and efficient route for multiple signal amplification is highly appealing. Herein, we present the concept of photoelectrochemical-chemical-chemical (PECCC) redox cycling as an advanced signal amplification route and a proof-of-concept toward ultrasensitive PEC bioanalysis. The system operated upon the bridging between the enzymatic generation of signaling species ascorbic acid (AA) from a sandwich immunoassay and the PECCC redox cycling among the ferrocenecarboxylic acid as redox mediator, the AA, and the tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine as reducing agent at the BiS/BiWO photoelectrode. Exemplified by myoglobin (Myo) as target, the proposed system achieved efficient regeneration of AA and thus signal amplification toward the ultrasensitive split-type PEC immunoassay. This work first exploited the PECCC redox cycling, and we believe it will attract more interest in the research of PEC bioassays on the basis of advanced redox cycling.

The oxidation states of vanadium determine its mobility and toxicity, and dissimilatory vanadate reduction has been reported in several microorganisms, highlighting the potential significance of this pathway in the remediation of vanadium contamination and the biogeochemical cycle. However, to date, most known microorganisms capable of reducing vanadate are Gram-negative respiratory bacteria belonging to the phylum Proteobacteria. In this study, we isolated Tepidibacter mesophilus strain VROV1 from deep-sea sediments on the northern Central Indian Ridge and investigated its ability to reduce vanadium and the impact of vanadate on its cellular metabolism.

Na superionic conductor (NASICON)-structure NaMnV(PO) (NVMP) electrode materials reveal highly attractive application prospects due to ultrahigh energy density originating from two-electron reactions. Nevertheless, NVMP also encounters challenges with its poor electronic conductivity, Mn dissolution, and Jahn-Teller distortion. To address this issue, utilizing N-doped carbon layers and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for dual encapsulation enhances the material's electronic conductivity, creating an effective electron transport network that promotes the rapid diffusion and storage of Na.

Alternative oxidase (AOX) regulates the level of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide (NO) in plants. While under normoxic conditions it alleviates NO formation, there are several indications that in the conditions of low oxygen such as during seed germination before radicle protrusion, in meristematic stem cells, and in flooded roots AOX can be involved in the production of NO from nitrite. Whereas the first reports considered this role as indirect, more evidence is accumulated that AOX can act as a nitrite: NO reductase.

The increasing demand for Li-ion batteries across various energy storage applications underscores the urgent need for environmentally friendly and efficient direct recycling strategies to address the issue of substantial cathode waste. Diverse reducing agents for Li supplements, such as quinone molecules, have been considered to homogenize the Li distribution in the cathode materials obtained after cycling; however, the detailed reaction mechanism is still unknown. Herein, the ideal electrochemical potential factor and reaction mechanism of the redox mediator 3,5-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone (DTBQ) for the chemical relithiation of high-Ni-layered cathodes are elucidated.

Avoiding severe structural distortion, irreversible phase transition, and realizing the stabilized multielectron redox are vital for promoting the development of high-performance NASICON-type cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, a high-entropy NaVFeTiMnCr(PO) (HE-NaTMP) cathode material is prepared by ultrafast high-temperature shock, which inhibits the possibility of phase separation and achieves reversible and stable multielectron transfer of 2.4/2.
