The authors describe an electrochemical and an optical method for the determination of As(V) by using iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) nanorods that display peroxidase-mimicking activity. The nanorods catalyze the oxidation of substrate ABTS by HO to form a green product with an absorption maximum at 418 nm. If, however, As(V) is electrostatically adsorbed on the nanorods, the oxidation is gradually inhibited. A colorimetric assay was worked out based on these findings. Response is linear in the 0 to 8 ppb and 8 to 200 ppb As(V) concentration range, and the detection limit is 0.1 ppb. Even higher sensitivity is achieved in an electrochemical method which is based on the excellent electrical conductivity of FeOOH nanorods. Electrochemical analysis of As(V) was achieved by first adsorbing As(V) on the nanorods. This inhibits the ABTS reduction current signal, best measured at a potential of 150 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl). The linear range extends from 0.04 to 200 ppb, and the detection limit is as low as 12 ppt. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of FeOOH nanorod-based colorimetric and electrochemical assays for arsenate (As(V)). As(V) adsorbed on FeOOH nanorods inhibits the peroxidase-mimicking activity of nanorods, and a colorimetric and electrochemical dual-signal assay was constructed to achieve sensitive determination of As(V).

FeOOH with excellent catalytic properties for oxygen evolution and also considered to be a true active site has attracted great interest in recent years. However, the intrinsic low conductivity limits its catalytic performance. Herein, a one-dimensional core-shell NiMoO/FeOOH heterojunction with high OER activity and stability was developed.

The rising incidence of infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria highlights the urgent need for innovative bacterial eradication strategies. Metal ions, such as Zn and Co, have bactericidal effects by disrupting bacterial cell membranes and interfering with essential cellular processes. This has led to increased attention toward metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as potential nonantibiotic bactericidal agents.

NiMoO (NM) has garnered significant attention due to its rich d-orbital electronic structure and multivalent electroactive cations. However, the inherently low electrical conductivity of NM limits its reaction kinetics. Herein, cobalt-substituted NM (Co-NM) nanorods were prepared via a hydrothermal reaction followed by subsequent thermal treatment.

Structural engineering, including electronic and geometric modulations, is a good approach to improve the activity of electrocatalysts. Herein, we employed FeOOH and the second metal center Ni to modulate the electronic structure of CoMoO and used a low temperature solvothermal route and a chemical etching method to prepare the special hollow hierarchical structure. Based on the prediction of multi-method calculations by density functional theory (DFT) and ab initial molecular dynamics (AIMD), a series of materials were fabricated.
