In this study, we developed a multifunctional nanoplatform to address the limitations of strictly acidic pH for the Fenton reaction involving FeO and the low efficiency of mono treatments. The hybrid material, FeO@Cu-TCPP, was assembled through hydrophobic interactions of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coated on its surface. The efficiency of the Fenton reaction using FeO was significantly enhanced by the photo-Fenton process in the presence of Cu-TCPP.

Dual-atom catalysts featuring synergetic dinuclear active sites, have the potential of breaking the linear scaling relationship of the well-established single-atom catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction; however, the design of dual-atom catalysts with rationalized local microenvironment for high activity and selectivity remains a great challenge. Here we design a bisalphen ladder polymer with well-defined densely populated binuclear cobalt sites on Ketjenblack substrates. The strong electron coupling effect between the fully-conjugated ladder structure and carbon substrates enhances the electron transfer between the cobalt center and oxygen intermediates, inducing the low-to-high spin transition for the 3d electron of Co(II).

Complexity of tumor and its microenvironment as obstacles often restrict traditional tumor therapies. Enzyme/nanozyme-mediated catalytic therapy has been emerged, but the efficacy of single catalytic therapy is still moderate. Inspired by the concepts of catalytic and synergetic therapy, an enzyme-nanozyme cascade catalysis (ENCAT)-enhanced tumor therapy is developed.

Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) has been extensively employed to investigate the light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. However, the current TERS strategies lack the ability to excite the low-background inhomogeneous electromagnetic field with significant enhancement of electric field, electric field gradient, and optomagnetic field, simultaneously. To overcome this, we developed a fiber vector light-field-based TERS strategy aimed at exploring the multipole Raman scattering processes of molecules.
