An ultrasensitive colorimetric and fluorescence dual-readout assay based on the inner filter effect (IFE) was developed for glutathione (GSH) determination, in which carbon dots (C-dots) were used as a fluorophore and MnO nanosheets as an absorber. Due to the excellent optical absorption properties of MnO nanosheets and the good spectral overlap between the fluorophore and absorber, MnO nanosheets could effectively quench the fluorescence of C-dots the IFE. As the target, GSH could reduce MnO nanosheets to Mn ions, which inhibited the IFE and resulted in the fading of solution color and the recovery of the fluorescence signal. And these two kinds of signals were respectively used for qualitative and quantitative detection of GSH. The results showed that this proposed assay could distinguish 10 μM GSH with the naked eye and quantitatively detect GSH within the concentration range of 0.1-400 μM. The limit of detection was 6.6 nM. Moreover, this assay showed sensitive responses in human serum and urine samples, which indicated that this IFE-based assay has great potential in GSH-related clinical and bioanalytical applications.

Developing insertion-type anodes is essential for designing high-performance "rocking chair" zinc-ion batteries. BiOCl shows great potential as an insertion-type anode material for Zn storage due to its high specific capacity and unique layered structure. However, the development of BiOCl has been significantly hampered by its poor stability and kinetics during cycling.

Fluorescent iron nanoclusters are emerging fluorescent nanomaterials. Herein, we synthesized hemoglobin-coated iron nanoclusters (Hb-Fe NCs) with a significant fluorescence emission peak at 615 nm and investigated the inner-filter effect of fluorescence induced by a manganese dioxide nanosheet (MnO NS). The fluorescence quenching of Hb-Fe NCs by a MnO NS can be significantly reversed by the addition of ascorbic acid.

A fluorescence probe for "switch-on" detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was developed based on Au nanoclusters anchored MnO nanosheets (Au NCs-MnO NSs), which were synthesized using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as template through a simple one-pot approach. In the sensing system, MnO NSs function as both energy acceptors and target identifiers, effectively quenches the fluorescence of Au NCs via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The presence of ALP catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate (AAP) to ascorbic acid (AA), reducing MnO NSs to Mn and facilitate the fluorescence recovery of Au NCs.

This study investigates the critical relationship between the crystal phase, morphology, and photocatalytic activity of MnO. The δ-MnO nanosheets, characterized by multiple exposed crystal planes forming junctions, exhibit optimized optical and electrical properties. Oxygen vacancy concentrations were observed in the order δ-MnO > γ-MnO > α-MnO, with corresponding increases in band gap width from 1.

Bioimaging technology has been broadly used in biomedicine, and the growth of multimodal imaging technology based on synergistic advantages can overcome the shortcomings of traditional single-modal bioimaging methods and attain high specificity and sensitivity in the fields of bioimaging and biosensing. The analysis of low-abundance microRNAs (miRNAs) in complex organisms is of high importance for early-stage diagnosis and clinical treatment of tumors. In our current study, a biosensing nanoplatform based on Tf-AuNCs and MnO nanosheets was developed for multimodal imaging of tumor cells.
