The construction of the cost-effective materials that are convenient to be used for sustainable detection and efficient removal of toxic pollutants is highlighted in practical application. Herein, a plug-and-play bifunctional fiber-like InO heterojunction (ETI) is constructed by growing indium metal-organic frameworks directly onto an etched titanium sheet (ET) and subsequently annealed. The results show that the noble-metal free InO nanofibers induced by ET can sensitively response to trace triphenylmethane pollutant-bright green (BG, as low as 1 × 10 m, analysis enhanced factor (AEF) = 7.68 × 10). In addition, excellent selectivity and repeatability for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of BG can be achieved on the uniform ETI substrate. Moreover, the portable ETI substrate shows significant photocatalytic efficiency and maintains stability throughout cycles in degrading BG, which is greatly superior to some comparisons. The highly efficient SERS and photocatalytic activity of ETI can be mainly attributed to the confinement effect in the nanofibers and the strong internal electric field generated at multiple heterogeneous interfaces between TiO nanoparticles "islands" and InO nanofibers on the ET. This study will establish a new foundation for developing noble-metal-free substrates flexibly used in detecting and eliminating organic pollutants in wastewater.

Background: Immunomagnetic separation is essential for screening pathogenic bacteria to prevent food poisoning. However, free immunomagnetic nanobeads (IMNBs) coexist with IMNB-bacteria conjugates (IBCs) after traditional immunomagnetic separation resulting in the infeasibility for IMNBs on IBCs to further act as signal label in bacterial detection. Although we have demonstrated that magnetophoretic separation at a high flowrate could separate IBCs from IMNBs, partial IMNBs were still found with IBCs due to chaotic flows and resulted in inevitable interferences.

Efficient hydrogen production via electrochemical water splitting is vital for sustainable energy applications, with the HER in acidic media requiring highly effective catalysts. In this study, we report the synthesis of BiOSe nanosheets through a scalable hydrothermal method, achieving exceptional catalytic performance in acidic conditions. The BiOSe nanosheets exhibit a low overpotential of 104 mV at 10 mA cm, significantly outperforming other bismuth-based HER catalysts.

Noble-metal open nanostructures have remarkable catalytic capabilities toward a wide range of reactions. In particular, Pd-based open nanostructures have been synthesized and validated for superior catalytic performance toward formic acid oxidation. However, most of the syntheses are based on dropwise addition, making it challenging to increase the production volume.
