A Prussian Blue (PB) zinc oxide carbon nanotube sensing composite was developed for the rapid assaying of HO generated from BT20 and 4T1 breast cancer cells, important for elucidating mechanisms governing apoptosis of these cell lines. The combination of HO's transient nature along with matrix effects makes monitoring this molecule in biological samples a challenge. The standard addition method (SAM) was coupled with chronoamperometric sensing (CA) to overcome these obstacles. An electrocatalyst composite consisting of refluxed zinc oxide nanoparticles (NPs) tethered to carboxylic acid-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (ZnO/COOH-MWNTs) was electrostatically attached to PB for signal enhancement. Optimization of the sensor was achieved via adjusting solution pH and stirring time to optimize PB electrostatic attachment to ZnO/COOH-MWNTs prior to its deposition onto the working glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface. CA SAM showed the ability to accurately measure HO within the 1-21 μM range, suitable for monitoring cancer cell line apoptosis resistance scenarios and offering analytical advantages over standard enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for rapid, matrix-effect-free analysis.

Potassium manganese-based Prussian blue analogs (KMn-HCF) hold great potential as cathodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the rapid synthesis process often results in excessively small particle sizes, increasing surface area and thereby intensifying side reactions with the electrolyte, which can damage the cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) and diminish cycling stability. Herein, we designed a topological phase transition strategy to assemble small KMn-HCF particles into a 600 nm cubic superstructure.

The development of advanced optical probes for point-of-care testing holds great importance in the field of diagnostic technologies. This study focused on the synthesis of a probe featuring both fluorescent and photothermal responses with single excitation wavelength, which was achieved through the combination of oxidized camellia oleifera shell powder (OC) and Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs). Notably, OC derived from the direct processing of raw material showed fluorescent and phosphorescent emissions simultaneously, and the positions of the two peaks overlapped with the absorbance range of PBNPs, making the fluorescent and phosphorescent emissions of OC effectively quenched by PBNPs.

Architecting Prussian blue analogue (PBA) cathodes with optimized synergistic bimetallic reaction centers is a paradigmatic strategy for devising high-energy sodium-ion batteries (SIBs); however, these cathodes usually suffer from fast capacity fading and sluggish reaction kinetics. To alleviate the above problems, herein, a series of early transition metal (ETM)-late transition metal (LTM)-based PBA (Fe-VO, Fe-TiO, Fe-ZrO, Co-VO, and Fe-Co-VO) cathode materials have been conveniently fabricated via an "acid-assisted synthesis" strategy. As a paradigm, the FeVO-PBA (FV) delivers a superb rate capability (148.

Metal tellurides, known for their superior electrical conductivity and excellent electrochemical properties, are promising candidates for supercapacitor applications. This study introduces a novel method involving a metal-organic framework hybrid to synthesize CoTe@CoFeTe double-shelled nanocubes. Initially, zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF67) and CoFe Prussian blue analog (PBA) nanocubes are synthesized through an anion-exchange reaction with [Fe(CN)] ions.

Closed-loop transformation of raw materials into high-value-added products is highly desired for the sustainable development of the society but is seldom achieved. Here, a low-cost, solvent-free and "zero-waste" mechanochemical protocol is reported for the large-scale preparation of cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). This process ensures full utilization of raw materials, effectively reduces water consumption, and simplifies the operating process.
