Antibiotics often coexist with other pollutants (e.g., nitrate) in an aquatic environment, and their simultaneous biological removal has attracted widespread interest. We have found that sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and nitrate can be efficiently removed by the coculture of a model denitrifier (, ) and MR-1 (), and SMX degradation is affected by NADH production and electron transfer. In this paper, the mechanism of a coculture promoting NADH production and electron transfer was investigated by proteomic analysis and intermediate experiments. The results showed that glutamine and lactate produced by were captured by to synthesize thiamine and heme, and the released thiamine was taken up by as a cofactor of pyruvate and ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, which were related to NADH generation. Additionally, acquired heme, which facilitated electron transfer as heme, was the important composition of complex III and cytochrome and the iron source of iron sulfur clusters, the key component of complex I in the electron transfer chain. Further investigation revealed that lactate and glutamine generated by prompted chemotactic moving toward , which helped the two bacteria effectively obtain their required substances. Obviously, metabolite cross-feeding promoted NADH production and electron transfer, resulting in efficient SMX biodegradation by and in the presence of nitrate. Its feasibility was finally verified by the coculture of an activated sludge denitrifier and .

Conventional light-driven antimicrobial strategies of zinc oxide (ZnO) are limited by inadequate illumination in dark environments. In this study, carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (MCNC) mediated flower-like ZnO (C@Z) with self-promoted reactive oxygen species release under dark is fabricated. The adsorption of Zn ions on MCNC prompts the growth of ZnO along the (002) crystal plane, forming a flower-like hybrid with superior dispersibility and oxygen vacancies compared to MCNC-free ZnO, which exposes the (100) plane.

Background: Estriol (E3) is a common estrogen responsible for regulating the female reproductive system, but excessive amount can pose health risks to humans and wild life. Therefore, sensitive and accurate detection of estriol level is crucial. A novel competitive ECL immunosensor based on a dual signal amplification strategy of AuNPs@GO@SmMoSe and Gd(MoO) was fabricated for ultrasensitive detection of estriol.

The establishment of heterojunctions has been demonstrated as an effective method to improve the efficiency of photocatalytic hydrogen production. Conventional heterojunctions usually have random orientation relationships, and heterointerfaces can hinder photogenerated carrier transport due to larger lattice mismatches, thus reducing the photoelectric conversion efficiency. In this study, a novel Te/InO@MXene lattice coherency heterojunction was prepared by leveraging the identical lattice spacing of InO (222) and Te (021) crystal face.

Two-in-one strategy to enhance the stability of TiCT in transition metal ion solutions.

Although MXenes have attracted significant attention across diverse fields, they exhibit a pronounced susceptibility to oxidation in aqueous environments, with oxidation significantly accelerated in the presence of transition metal ions (TMI) such as Fe and Cu. This limitation impedes the synthesis of transition metal compounds/MXene-based composites and their potential for functional applications. In this study, we elucidate the mechanism of accelerated oxidation of TiCT is that Fe promotes the electron loss in TiCT, thus leading to an increased production of hydroxyl radicals (OH) to oxidize TiCT.

The development of electrode materials for aqueous ammonium-ion supercapacitors (NH-SCs) has garnered significant attention in recent years. Poor intrinsic conductivity, sluggish electron transfer and ion diffusion kinetics, as well as structural degradation of vanadium oxides during the electrochemical process, pose significant challenges for their efficient ammonium-ion storage. In this work, to address the above issues, the core-shell VO·nHO@poly(3,4-ethylenedioxithiophene) composite (denoted as VOH@PEDOT) is designed and prepared by a simple agitation method to boost the ammonium-ion storage of VO·nHO (VOH).
