Open-channel and high throughput are two important aspects of clinical diagnosis, correlation biochemical analysis, cell culture techniques and food safety. Here, we propose the mini-pillar based array for open-channel and high-throughput SERS detection of miRNA. The polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mini-pillars are used as a high-throughput platform, which have good anchoring and aggregation effects on microdroplets, greatly reducing the amount of analytical solution and facilitate the homogeneous sample distribution after evaporation. The deposited gold nanorods (Au NRs) on the pillars with optimized diameter served as SERS-active substrate, can greatly improve the sensitivity of SERS signal compared to other planar substrates. On the open-channel biological chip, sensitive, simultaneous, and specific detection of breast cancer marker miRNA-1246 can be performed. In this mini-pillar array SERS system, the limit of detection (LOD) is 10 M. The mini-pillar array shows enormous potential for open channel, high-throughput biomolecular detection, providing an opportunity for biomedical point-of-care testing (POCT) and drug screening.

Emerging open-channel droplet arrays for biosensing.

Open-channel droplet arrays have attracted much attention in the fields of biochemical analysis, biofluid monitoring, biomarker recognition and cell interactions, as they have advantages with regard to miniaturization, parallelization, high-throughput, simplicity and accessibility. Such droplet arrays not only improve the sensitivity and accuracy of a biosensor, but also do not require sophisticated equipment or tedious processes, showing great potential in next-generation miniaturized sensing platforms. This review summarizes typical examples of open-channel microdroplet arrays and focuses on diversified biosensing integrated with multiple signal-output approaches (fluorescence, colorimetric, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), electrochemical, etc.

Polyoxometalates (POMs) featuring 7, 12, 18, or more redox-accessible transition metal ions are ubiquitous as selective catalysts, especially for oxidation reactions. The corresponding synthetic and catalytic chemistry of stable, discrete, capping-ligand-free polythiometalates (PTMs), which could be especially attractive for reduction reactions, is much less well developed. Among the challenges are the propensity of PTMs to agglomerate and the tendency for agglomeration to block reactant access of catalyst active sites.

In the case of flooding in rivers, river regulation structures are important since scours occur on the outer meander due to high flow velocities. In this study, 2-array submerged vane structures were investigated which is a new method in the meandering part of open channels, both laboratory and numerically with an open channel flow discharge of 20 L/s. Open channel flow experiments were carried out by using a submerged vane and without a vane.

A carbon material with both open macrochannel arrays and abundant micro/mesopores was prepared, characterized, and applied for removing chloramphenicol (CAP) from water. In the preparation process, Carex meyeriana Kunth (CM) with natural channel arrays was used as the precursor for producing the biochar, and NaOH was used for removing silicon and formatting micro- and mesopores of the porous carbon. The product (PCCM) exhibited the highest specific surface area (2700.

A lithium metal anode (LMA) is appealing due to its high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical potential. Unfortunately, the practical application of LMAs is restricted by the uncontrollable Li dendrite growth and tremendous volume change. Herein, lithiophilic honeycomb-like layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheet arrays supported on a flexible carbon cloth (NiMn-LDHs NAs@CC) are synthesized as the Li host to spatially confine the Li deposition, guiding Li growth via a conformal and uniform manner.
