In this study, a plasma in a liquid process (PiLP) was used to facilely precipitate bimetallic nanoparticles composed of Ni and Co elements on the surface of activated carbon. The physicochemical and electrochemical properties of the fabricated composites were evaluated to examine the potential of supercapacitors as electrode materials. Nickel and cobalt ions in the aqueous reactant solution were uniformly precipitated on the AC surface as spherical nanoparticles with a size of about 100 nm by PiLP reaction. The composition of nanoparticles was determined by the molar ratio of nickel and cobalt precursors and precipitated in the form of bimetallic oxide. The electrical conductivity and specific capacitance were increased by Ni-Co bimetallic oxide nanoparticles precipitated on the AC surface. In addition, the electrochemical performance was improved by stable cycling stability and resistance reduction and showed the best performance when the molar ratios of Ni and Co precursors were the same.

The conversion of abundant lignin was of great significance for the utilization of biomass resources. In this study, lignin sulfonate (LS) was selected as a carbon-based support, which was successfully introduced into the NiCo-MOF structure. A series of lignin and MOF hybrid catalysts (NiCo-MOF-LS) with varying metal ratios of Ni and Co were synthesized via the hydrothermal method.

Article Synopsis
- Complexes featuring a doubly reduced carbonite ligand connect a nickel(II) center with a transition metal(II) ion (like Fe, Co, or Zn) have been synthesized.
- NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations show that the carbonite ligand shows flexible coordination in non-coordinating solvents.
- The [Ni-CO-Fe] complex mirrors an intermediate in CO-conversion by the [Ni,Fe]-CODH enzyme, and findings suggest transition metals lower reduction potential while increasing C-O bond cleavage propensity, hinting at the functional choice of iron(II) in the enzyme's active site.

Article Synopsis
- The development of advanced supercapacitors for wearable devices is crucial but presents several challenges, particularly in achieving high power and energy density.
- Researchers created a bimetallic metal-organic framework (Ni/Co-MOF) using triethylamine (TEA) to improve ion/electron transmission through vertically oriented nanosheets.
- The resulting asymmetric supercapacitor design, combining the Ni/Co-MOF cathode with an activated carbon anode, demonstrated impressive performance, with a storage capacity of 2034 F g, an energy density of 29.5 Wh kg, and 89% capacitance retention after 2000 cycles.

In this work, NiCoO was synthesized from bimetallic oxalate and utilized as a heterogeneous catalyst to active peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of tetracycline (TC). The degradation efficiency of TC (30 mg/L) in the NiCoO + PMS system reached 92.4%, with NiCoO exhibiting satisfactory reusability, stability, and applicability.

Conventional inorganic semiconductors are not suitable for acting as nanozymes or sonosensitizers for therapeutic nanomedicine owing to the lack of excellent biocompatibility. Biocompatible carbon dots (CDs) exhibit a variety of biological activities due to their adjustable size and surface chemical modification; however, the simultaneous sonodynamic activity and multiple enzyme-mimicking catalytic activity of a single CD have not been reported. Herein, we report the development of bimetallic doped CDs as a high-efficiency nanozyme and sonosensitizer for enhanced sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and nanocatalytic therapy (NCT).
