A composite material MnCO/poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA)/Ag with excellent electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance and high biocompatibility was prepared by adding MnCO and PDDA to silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). MnCO/PDDA/Ag and Au@SiONPs were used as ECL donors and acceptors, respectively. Thus, an effective ECL-resonance energy transfer (RET) sensing platform was established. In a potassium persulfate (KSO) medium, MnCO exhibited ECL emission with an ECL band appearing at 500-600 nm. In addition, Au@SiO nanoparticles showed a UV-visible absorption at 450-650 nm. The ECL emission spectra of MnCO overlapped with the absorption spectra of Au@SiONPs. The effective ECL quenching resulted in a good response to the concentration of Aβ in serum samples. The linear range was 5 fg ⋅ mL to 100 ng ⋅ mL, and the detection limit was 2 fg ⋅ mL. The recovery ranged from 97.7% to 104%. The high-efficiency ECL-RET immunosensor has potential application in detecting human serum Aβ and other biomarkers, and can be used for the early screening of diseases.

Lithium (Li) metal batteries (LMBs) are promising for high-energy-density rechargeable batteries. However, Li dendrites formed by the reaction between highly active Li and non-aqueous electrolytes lead to safety concerns and rapid capacity decay. Developing a reliable solid-electrolyte interphase is critical for realizing high-rate and long-life LMBs, but remains technically challenging.

This study investigates a comprehensive enhancement strategy for photovoltaic (PV) panel efficiency, focusing on increasing electrical output through the integration of parabolic reflectors, advanced cooling mechanisms, and thermoelectric generation. Parabolic reflectors are implemented in the system to maximize solar irradiance on the PV panel's surface, while a specialized cooling system is introduced to regulate temperature distribution across the silicon layer. This cooling system consists of a finned duct filled with paraffin (RT35HC) and enhanced with SWCNT nanoparticles, which improve the thermal properties of the paraffin, facilitating more effective heat dissipation.

Direct carbonylation of CH to CHCOOH provides a promising pathway for upgrading of natural gas to transportable liquid chemicals, in which high-efficiency CH activation and controllable C-C coupling are both critical but challenging. Herein, we report that highly efficient photo-driven carbonylation of CH with CO and O to CHCOOH is achieved over MoS-confined Rh-Zn atomic-pair in conjunction with TiO. It delivers a high CHCOOH productivity of 152.

The growing potential of low-dimensional metal-halide perovskites as conversion-type cathode materials is limited by electrochemically inert B-site cations, diminishing the battery capacity and energy density. Here, we design a benzyltriethylammonium tellurium iodide perovskite, (BzTEA)TeI, as the cathode material, enabling X- and B-site elements with highly reversible chalcogen- and halogen-related redox reactions, respectively. The engineered perovskite can confine active elements, alleviate the shuttle effect and promote the transfer of Cl on its surface.

For batteries to function effectively all active material must be accessible requiring both electron and ion transport to each particle. A common approach to generating the needed conductive network is the addition of carbon. An alternative approach is the electrochemically induced formation of conductive reaction products generated with intimate contact to the active material.
