Persistent organic pollutants pose significant environmental and health risks, highlighting the urgent need for highly sensitive sensing technologies capable of detecting trace concentrations. In this study, we synthesized a ReS/ZnO/Au ternary surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate via a simple hydrothermal and reduction method based on a novel strategy that leverages multiple charge transfer channels to significantly enhance SERS performance. The unique bandgap and energy level alignment of ReS facilitate both excitonic resonance and charge transfer transitions. Additionally, the semiconductor ZnO acts as an efficient charge transfer mediator by borrowing energy from molecular transitions. As a result of the synergistic combination of electromagnetic and chemical enhancements, the ReS/ZnO/Au ternary substrate demonstrates excellent versatility and high sensitivity for detecting various pollutants, including rhodamine 6G (R6G), crystal violet, malachite green, and tetracycline (TC). Notably, the detection limit for TC can reach 10 M, with an enhancement factor as high as 2.78 × 10. Our strategy provides comprehensive insight into SERS enhancement, offering a pathway for designing sensitive and versatile SERS systems, with significant potential for monitoring and quantitative analysis of organic pollutants.

In this study, we construct a quantum well effect-based two-dimensional Z-scheme superlattice heteronanostructure photocatalyst constructed from hydrogen-bonded porphyrin organic frameworks (HOFs) and carbon nitride. Porphyrin HOFs extend spectral absorption, while their π-conjugation and electron density variations significantly enhance charge separation and exhibit favorable alignment with the energy levels of carbon nitride, thereby enabling efficient charge transfer. Carboxylic acid channels in the HOFs further promote the decomposition of water molecules, thereby boosting hydrogen production.

A key challenge for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) lies in identifying suitable host materials capable of accommodating large Na ions while addressing sluggish chemical kinetics. The unique interfacial effects of heterogeneous structures have emerged as a critical factor in accelerating charge transfer and enhancing reaction kinetics. Herein, MoSe/BiSe composites integrated with N-doped carbon nanosheets are synthesized, which spontaneously self-assemble into flower-like microspheres (MoSe/BiSe@N-C).

Bioelectrodes function as a critical interface for signal transduction between living organisms and electronics. Conducting polymers (CPs), particularly poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate), are among the most promising materials for bioelectrodes, due to their electrical performance, high compactness, and ease of processing, but often suffer from degradation or de-doping even in some common environments (e.g.

Quantum chemical methods and time-resolved laser spectroscopy are employed to elucidate ultrafast charge-separation processes in triphenylamine (TPA) derivatives upon photoexcitation. When changing the ambient solvent from non-electron-accepting to electron-acceptor solvents, such as chloroform, a vastly extended and multifaceted photochemistry of TPA derivatives is observed. Following initial excitation, two concurrent charge-transfer processes are identified.

Defects and heteroatom doping are two refined microstructural factors that significantly affect the performance of photocatalytic materials. Coupling defect and doping engineering is a powerful approach for designing efficient photocatalysts. In this research, we successfully construct dual defect-engineered BiVO nanosheets (BVO-N-OV) by introducing N doping and oxygen vacancies through ammonium oxalate-assisted thermal treatment of BiVO nanosheets.
