Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) is a sensitive and nondestructive technique that provides fingerprint structural information of molecules. Designing and constructing sensitive and stable SERS substrates is of great significance for the application of the technique. In this study, single-layer carbon-based dots (CDs) are used as capping agents to synthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/CDs) and manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO/CDs), which are then hybridized through a simple cocentrifugation method. After the hybridization, the monodispersive AuNPs/CDs aggregate obviously into some clusters exhibiting strong SERS activity due to the electromagnetic "hot spots" effect, and the MnO/CDs also show outstanding SERS activity due to the charge-transfer resonance effect. The obtained nanohybrids (MnO/CDs/AuNPs) with robust chemical stability combine well with the electromagnetic enhancement of AuNPs/CDs and chemical enhancement of MnO/CDs, leading to an ultrahigh enhancement factor of 3.9 × 10. Based on the novel SERS substrate, a sensitive and rapid sensing system for the detection of malachite green is developed, with a low detection limit of 1 × 10 M. This work provides a valuable model for designing and fabricating high-performance SERS substrates.

Manganese dioxide (MnO) shows great potential in the field of electrochemical performance. But its poor conductivity, easy dissolution in electrolytes and undesirable ionic accessibility hinder its application. The construction of mesoporous polypyrrole/manganese dioxide (PPy/MnO) composites can effectively alleviate these problems.

Article Synopsis
- The catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol (4-NP) to p-aminophenol (4-AP) is essential in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors, with sustainable methods being a priority.
- Using manganese dioxide (MnO) supported silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) as a catalyst for the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of 4-NP with formaldehyde (HCHO) provides a safer and more efficient alternative due to lower toxicity and easy handling.
- The study shows that electron transfer from Ag to MnO enhances HCHO activation, resulting in a more effective CTH process, with the optimized 15% Ag/MnO catalyst achieving a significant turnover frequency of 3.83

Article Synopsis
- Ammonium-ion hybrid supercapacitors (AIHSCs) are recognized for their safety and eco-friendliness, with manganese oxides being promising cathode materials despite challenges from side electrochemical reactions in aqueous electrolytes.
- The study investigates the behavior of β-/γ-MnO electrodes and identifies side reactions, including MnO dissolution, re-deposition, and NH insertion, which result in irreversible structural changes and reduced performance over time.
- To enhance performance and stability, a self-adjusting mechanism is proposed, incorporating trace manganese in the electrolyte, leading to an AIHSC with impressive energy and power densities of 60.2 Wh/kg and 5000 W/kg.
