Single-nanoparticle collision electrochemistry (SNCE) has gradually become an attractive analytical method due to its advantages in analytical detection, such as a fast response, low cost, low sample consumption, and in situ real-time detection of analytes. However, the biological analyte's direct detection based on the SNCE blocking mode has the problems of low sensitivity and specificity. In this work, an SNCE biosensor based on SNCE electrocatalytic strategy was used for the detection of H7N9 AIV. Nucleic acid aptamers were introduced to recognize the target virus (H7N9 AIV). After the recognition event, ssDNA was released and hybridized with another ssDNA. Owing to the nicking endonuclease Nt.AlwI-mediated target nucleic acid cyclic amplification, one virus particle can indirectly induce the release of 4.2 × 10 Au NPs that can be counted by the SNCE electrocatalytic strategy. The high conversion efficiency greatly improved the detection sensitivity, and the detection limit was as low as 24.3 fg/mL. Therefore, the constructed biosensor can achieve a highly sensitive and specific detection of H7N9 AIV and show a great potential in bioanalytical application.

Diabetes significantly increases the risk of serious health issues, including prolonged skin inflammation and delayed wound healing, owing to inferior glucose control and suppression of the immune system. Although traditional hydrogen (H2) therapy is slightly effective, its ability to tailor the release of H2 on the skin is limited. Accordingly, this study proposed a novel strategy for electrocatalytic H2 release under neutral conditions to promote wound healing in diabetic mice and rabbit.

To efficiently capture, activate, and transform small molecules, metalloenzymes have evolved to integrate a well-organized pocket around the active metal center. Within this cavity, second coordination sphere functionalities are precisely positioned to optimize the rate, selectivity, and energy cost of catalytic reactions. Inspired by this strategy, an artificial distal pocket defined by a preorganized 3D strap is introduced on an iron-porphyrin catalyst (sc-Fe) for the CO-to-CO electrocatalytic reduction.

Modulating the structure of Cu in CuX/CNTs hollow tetrakaidecahedron to enhance high-efficiency HO production.

Regulation of active sites of electrocatalysts is critical in adjusting electronic structure and catalytic selectivity towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to hydrogen peroxide (HO). Herein, the CuX/CNTs (X = Se, SSe, S) hollow tetrakaidecahedron catalysts were synthesized to facilitate the electrocatalytic reduction of O to HO. The introduction of S resulted in a shift from four-electron pathway on CuSe/CNTs to two-electron process on CuS/CNTs, ultimately leading to an enhancement in HO productivity.

Various sustainable energy conversion techniques like water electrolyzers, fuel cells, and metal-air battery devices are promising to alleviate the issues in fossil fuel consumption. However, their broad employment has been mainly inhibited by the lack of advanced electrocatalysts to accelerate the sluggish kinetics of the three involved half-reactions including oxygen evolution reaction (OER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Recent advances have witnessed the cucurbit[]uril (CB[])-directed strategy as a prominent tool to develop high performance electrocatalysts with either OER, ORR, or HER activities.

The development and generation of affordable and highly efficient energy, particularly hydrogen, are one of the best approaches to address the challenges posed by the depletion of non-renewable energy sources. Hydrogen energy, as a green and ecosystem-friendly source with zero carbon emission, can be generated through various methods, including water splitting (HER/OER) either photo- or electrocatalytic reactions. To implement these reactions effectively in practical applications, it is highly desirable to develop extremely efficient and cost-effective catalytic materials that are comparable to contemporary catalysts.
