A novel photocatalyst of mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) co-doped with Co and Mo (Co/Mo-MCN) has been one-pot synthesized via a simple template-free method; cobalt chloride and molybdenum disulfide were used as the Co and Mo sources, respectively. The characterization results evidently indicate that molybdenum disulfide functions as Mo sources to incorporate Mo atoms in the framework of g-CN and as a catalyst for promoting the decomposition of g-CN, resulting in the creation of mesopores. The obtained Co/Mo-MCN exhibited a significant enhancement of the photocatalytic activity in H evolution (8.6 times) and Rhodamine B degradation (10.1 times) under visible light irradiation compared to pristine g-CN. Furthermore, density functional theory calculations were applied to further understand the photocatalytic enhancement mechanism of the optical absorption properties at the atomic level after Co- or Mo-doping. Finite-difference time-domain simulations were performed to evaluate the effect of the mesopore structures on the light absorption capability. The results revealed that both the bimetal doping and the mesoporous architectures resulted in an enhanced optical absorption; this phenomenon was considered to have played a critical role in the improvement in the photocatalytic performance of Co/Mo-MCN.

Sildenafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension but is often illicitly added to energy drinks and chocolates. This study introduces a lateral flow strip test using aptamers specific to sildenafil for detecting its illegal presence in food. The process involved using graphene oxide SELEX to identify high-affinity aptamers, which were then converted into molecular gate structures on mesoporous silica nanoparticles, creating a unique signaling system.

In this study, we have proposed an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signal amplification system which is based on two-dimensional (2D) flower-like CdS@Co/Mo-MOF composites as a co-reaction accelerator of the g-CN/SO system for ultrasensitive detection of chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPH). Specifically, the 2D flower-like Co/Mo-MOF with mesoporous alleviated the aggregation of CdS NPs while simultaneously fostering reactant-active site contact and improving the reactant-product transport rate. This allowed the material to act as a novel co-reaction accelerator, speeding up the transformation of the SO into SO and enhancing the cathodic ECL emission of g-CN.

Article Synopsis
- - Recent outbreaks of pathogens have led researchers to explore graphene as a potential antimicrobial agent due to its low toxicity and effective interaction with bacteria, making it attractive for antimicrobial applications.
- - Integrating graphene into copper coatings can enhance their antimicrobial effects, but challenges in uniformly distributing graphene within the copper matrix have limited practical use; Cu-doped graphitic nanoplatelets (CuGnPs) offer a possible solution to this issue.
- - Studies demonstrated that CuGnPs significantly reduced the survival of Staphylococcus aureus compared to controls, indicating that copper combined with graphene oxide can improve bacterial inhibition effectiveness.

The inability of surgical biopsy to monitor the dynamic evolution of cancer cells hampers its capacity to reflect real-time tumor heterogeneity. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), as a crucial target in liquid biopsy, offer a novel approach for accurate monitoring of tumors. However, the rarity and complex phenotype resulting from epithelial-mesenchymal transition pose challenges for conventional methods such as CellSearch and immunohistochemistry, which have insufficient ability for simultaneous phenotyping and enumeration of CTCs.

In this paper, we prepared a new type of iron and nitrogen co-doped porous carbon material (WSC-Fe/N) using a carbonization-activation process with wheat straw as a precursor and FeCl and NHCl as co-doping agents and analyzed the electrochemical properties of the resulting electrode material. Through precise control of the doping elements and carbonization temperature (900 °C), the resulting WSC-Fe/N-900 material exhibits abundant micropores, uniform mesopores, a significant specific surface area (2576.6 m g), an optimal level of iron doping (1.
