Accurate and rapid detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) residues in food can significantly reduce cancer risk due to their potent renal and liver toxicity. Herein, a heterojunction structure material used as enhanced antibody load labels is modified on flexible carbon paper to construct a novel self-supported electrochemical immunoassay for ultrasensitive OTA detection in foods. The heterojunction structure was constructed on CuO hexagonal crystal with exposed high-energy facets through galvanic exchange reaction, in which the surface of CuO was oxidized to CuO, and Au was reduced to Au. The CuO/CuO@AuNPs/anti-OTA modified electrode exhibited good sensitivity and selectivity for OTA detection due to the synergistic effect of exposed (110) crystallographic facets, the increase of active sites, the copper mixed valence that promotes redox reactions at the interface between electrode and analyte, along with the immune effect of OTA antibody to specific recognition. The OTA sensor shows a linear range spanning 0.05-200 ng mL and a low detection limit of 0.2 pg mL, which could be further applied in corn and soybean solution with good recovery ranging from 94 % to 106 %. Moreover, the elliptical joint confidence region result shows that the OTA sensor has good accuracy.

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) are emerging as highly promising materials for electrochemical applications due to their exceptional electronic properties and active sites. However, the synthesis of 1D HEO with high aspect ratios and mechanical properties has been challenging, particularly on an industrial scale. Herein, we report a spatially confined oxidation (SCO) method to synthesize 1D HEO@SWCNTs with high specific surface area and stability.

In this work, we present for the first time an innovative strategy to construct high-performance hybrid supercapacitors through the synergistic optimization of vanadium-doped self-supported three-dimensional Flower-like Fe₂(MoO₄)₃ anodes and SnO₂/CNTs composite anodes. The V-doped Fe₂(MoO₄)₃ anode synthesized by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method combines vanadium doping-induced oxygen vacancies, lattice distortion effects and self-supporting properties of the three-dimensional floral structure, which enhances the specific surface area of the material to 190.58 m²/g, and obtains a high specific capacitance of 2,157 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g, and undergoes a 15 A/g After 10,000 cycles at 15 A/g, the capacitance retention rate is still 98.

Surface hydrogen migration significantly promotes electroreduction of acetonitrile to ethylamine.

Nat Commun

March 2025

Zhejiang Key Laboratory of Advanced Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers Technology, Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ningbo, Zhejiang, PR China.

The electrochemical reduction of acetonitrile (AN) to ethylamine (EA) is an attractive yet challenging process, primarily due to the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This study demonstrates the ability to halt the HER at Volmer step, where protons migrate to the unsaturated bond of AN on a self-supported CuO@Cu heterostructure. The CuO@Cu catalyst exhibits nearly 100% Faradaic efficiency (FE) over the entire range of potentials tested from -0.

Self-Supported Cu/FeO Hierarchical Nanosheets on Ni Foam for High-Efficiency Non-Enzymatic Glucose Sensing.

Electrochemical glucose sensors are vital for clinical diagnostics and the food industry, where accurate detection is essential. However, the limitations of glucose oxidase (GOx)-based sensors, such as complex preparation, high cost, and environmental sensitivity, highlight the need for non-enzymatic sensors that directly oxidize glucose at the electrode surface. In this study, a self-supporting hierarchical Cu/FeO nanosheet electrode was successfully fabricated by in situ growth on Ni Foam using a hydrothermal method, followed by annealing treatment.
