Bare gold nanoparticles were embedded into an iron-polyoxovanadate matrix and used to enhance both the infrared and Raman signatures of a model analyte. A detailed characterization of the matrix-embedded nanoparticles revealed that they retained a plasmon resonance at 564 nm. The enhancement of vibrational signatures of the model analyte crystal violet using bare and embedded gold nanoparticles was compared for both surface enhanced infrared (SEIRA) spectroscopy and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) yielding enhancement factors of 2.2 for SEIRA and 77 for SERS. In contrast, the bare gold nanoparticles revealed significantly lower enhancements (1.6 for SEIRA; 20 for SERS). Hence, it was shown that embedding nanoparticles within an inorganic polyoxometalate-based matrix is an innovative strategy to amplify their signal enhancement properties in vibrational spectroscopies.

We report on the dynamics of a soliton propagating on the surface of a fluid in a 4-m-long canal with a random or periodic bottom topography. Using a full space-and-time resolved wave field measurement, we evidence, for the first time experimentally, how the soliton is affected by the disorder, in the context of Anderson localization, and how localization depends on nonlinearity. For weak soliton amplitudes, the localization length is found in quantitative agreement with a linear shallow-water theory.

Purpose: Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop2) is overexpressed in various solid tumors and contributes to tumor progression, while its expression remains low in normal tissues. Trop2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (Trodelvy), has shown efficacy in targeting this antigen. Leveraging the enhanced specificity of ADCs, we conducted the first immunoPET imaging study of Trop2 expression in gastric cancer (GC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) models using Zr-labeled Trodelvy ([Zr]Zr-DFO-Trodelvy).

The visible-light-driven O evolution on oxychloride photocatalysts, such as BiNbOCl, was significantly enhanced by stirring in an aqueous solution containing IrCl in the dark. Various characterizations indicated that highly dispersed IrOHCl-like species spontaneously formed on the oxychloride surface, serving as effective and stable cocatalysts for enhancing O evolution.

In this study, a Pd nanoparticles@hydrogen-bonded organic framework (Pd NPs@HOF) thin film was fabricated at the toluene-water interface. The HOF was formed through the interaction of trimesic acid (TMA) and melamine (Mel) in the water phase, while Pd(0) was produced from the reduction of [PdCl(cod)] in the organic phase. The as-synthesized Pd NPs@HOF thin film was demonstrated to be an effective catalyst for the selective reduction of -nitrophenol and -nitrophenol to -aminophenol and -aminophenol.

Efficient and stable nonprecious metal-based oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts are pivotal for water electrolysis technology. Herein, we are reporting an effective strategy for fabricating efficient Co-based OER electrocatalysts by low-level Fe doping in CoMoO to boost surface reconstruction and electronic modulation, which resulted in excellent OER electroactivity consequently. Our findings reveal that a mere 5.
