A functional bipolar electrode-electrochemiluminescence (BPE-ECL) platform based on biocathode reducing oxygen was constructed for detecting electrochemically active bacteria (EAB) in this paper. Firstly, thiolated trimethylated chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (TMC-SH) layer was assembled on the gold-plated cathode of BPE. TMC-SH contains quaternary ammonium salt branch chain, which can inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the surface or in the surrounding environment while absorbing bacteria. Then, the peristaltic pump was used to flow all of the samples through the cathode, and the EAB was electrostatically adsorbed on the electrode surface. Finally, applying a constant potential to the BPE, bacteria can catalyze electrochemical reduction of O, and decrease the overpotential of O reduction at the cathode, which in turn generates an ECL reporting intensity change at the anode. In this way, live and dead bacteria can be distinguished, and the influence of complex food substrates on detection can be greatly reduced.

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a cornerstone of various electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems, including water splitting, CO/N reduction, reversible fuel cells, and rechargeable metal-air batteries. OER typically proceeds through three primary mechanisms: adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM), lattice oxygen oxidation mechanism (LOM), and oxide path mechanism (OPM). Unlike AEM and LOM, the OPM proceeds via direct oxygen-oxygen radical coupling that can bypass linear scaling relationships of reaction intermediates in AEM and avoid catalyst structural collapse in LOM, thereby enabling enhanced catalytic activity and stability.

Electrochemical reduction of CO to value-added multicarbon (C) productions offers an attractive route for renewable energy storage and CO utilization, but it remains challenging to achieve high C selectivity at industrial-level current density. Herein, a MoCu single-atom alloy (SAA) catalyst is reported that displays a remarkable C Faradaic efficiency of 86.4% under 0.

In the realm of materials science and engineering, the pursuit of advanced materials with tailored properties has been a driving goal behind technological progress. Scientific interest in laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) fabricated NiTi alloy has in recent times seen an upsurge of activity. In this study, we investigate the impact of varying volume energy density (VED) during L-PBF on the microstructure and corrosion behaviour of NiTi alloys in both scan (XY) and built (XZ) planes.

Due to its exceptional electronic properties and catalytic activity, MoC has garnered significant attention for its application in electrocatalysis, particularly for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, several critical challenges continue to impede its widespread use, especially under strongly alkaline conditions. A primary obstacle is the enhancement of its intrinsic activity through further modification strategies, which remains a key limitation for its broader utilization.

Iron phthalocyanine (FePc) is a promising non-noble metal catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). While, with the plane-symmetric FeN site, the ORR activity of FePc is generally low due to its low ability to adsorb and activate O. Herein, we anchor FePc on Mg(OH)/N-doped carbon nanosheets building the ternary plate-like catalyst FePc/Mg(OH)/NC.
