Article Abstract

A laser-induced graphene (LIG) surface modified with Prussian blue (iron hexacyanoferrate) is demonstrated as a novel electrochemical sensing platform for the sensitive and selective detection of hydrogen peroxide. Electrochemical Prussian blue (PB) modification on porous graphene films engraved by infrared laser over flexible polyimide was accomplished. Scanning electron microscopy images combined with Raman spectra confirm the formation of porous graphene and homogenous electrodeposition of PB over this porous surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveals a substantial decrease in the resistance to charge transfer values (from 395 to 31.4 Ω) after the PB insertion, which confirms the formation of a highly conductive PB-graphene composite. The synergistic properties of PB and porous graphene were investigated for the constant monitoring of hydrogen peroxide at 0.0 V vs. Ag|AgCl|KCl, under high-flow injections (166 µL s) confirming the high stability of the modified surface and fast response within a wide linear range (from 1 to 200 µmol L). Satisfactory detection limit (0.26 µmol L) and selectivity verified by the analysis of complex samples confirmed the excellent sensing performance of this platform. We highlight that the outstanding sensing characteristics of the developed sensor were superior in comparison with other PB-based or LIG-based electrochemical sensors reported for hydrogen peroxide detection.

Nitrogen fixation is essential for the sustainable development of both human society and the environment. Due to the chemical inertness of the N≡N bond, the traditional Haber-Bosch process operates under extreme conditions, making nitrogen fixation under ambient conditions highly desirable but challenging. In this study, we present an ultrasonic atomizing microdroplet method that achieves nitrogen fixation using water and air under ambient conditions in a rationally designed sealed device, without the need for any catalyst.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has garnered significant attention in the field of tumor therapy due to its ability to convert overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (HO) in tumors into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) through metal ion-mediated catalysis. However, the effectiveness of CDT is hindered by low catalyst efficiency, insufficient intra-tumor HO level, and excessive glutathione (GSH). In this study, a pH/GSH dual responsive bimetallic nanocatalytic system (CuFeMOF@GOx@Mem) is developed by modifying red blood cell membranes onto glucose oxidase (GOx)-loaded Fe-Cu bimetallic MOFs, enhancing the efficacy of CDT through a triple-enhanced way by HO self-supply, catalysts self-cycling, and GSH self-elimination.

Metastasis, the leading cause of mortality in cancer patients, presents challenges for conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to its reliance on localized light and oxygen application to tumors. To overcome these limitations, a self-sustained organelle-mimicking nanoreactor is developed here with programmable DNA switches that enables bio-chem-photocatalytic cascade-driven starvation-photodynamic synergistic therapy against tumor metastasis. Emulating the compartmentalization and positional assembly strategies found in living cells, this nano-organelle reactor allows quantitative co-compartmentalization of multiple functional modules for the designed self-illuminating chemiexcited PDT system.

In this study, a simple and easy synthesis strategy to realize the modification of AuHgPt nanoalloy materials on the surface of ITO glass at room temperature is presented. Gold nanoparticles as templates were obtained by electrochemical deposition, mercury was introduced as an intermediate to form an amalgam, and then a galvanic replacement reaction was utilized to successfully prepare gold-mercury-platinum (AuHgPt) nanoalloys. The obtained alloys were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques.
