Published: March 2025

Self-assembled nanosheets were formed through the interaction between polyoxometalate (POM) and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTB), which has hydrophilic groups at both ends of the carbon chain and serves as a "bridge" connecting the POMs. The resulting POM assemblies demonstrated high efficiency in the epoxidation of cyclohexene, with the selectivity of the reaction being tunable by adjusting the coverage of DTB on the POM.

College of Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Engineering, Nanjing Tech University, 30 Puzhunan Road, Nanjing 211816, Jiangsu, China. Electronic address:

The economic viability of cellulose biotransformation remains constrained by high enzyme costs, with processive endoglucanases emerging as promising candidates due to their dual-function hydrolysis mechanism. However, comprehensive kinetic and synergistic analyses of these enzymes are notably limited. This study investigates the kinetic properties of GH5 processive endoglucanase (M3-1) through various kinetic models.

Gold nanorods (AuNRs), as versatile sensing materials, have wide analytical applications due to their unique optical properties. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a conventional reagent in AuNR synthesis, also often acts as a stabilizer of AuNRs in applications. However, CTAB-stabilized AuNRs undergo severe spontaneous aggregation and etching under extreme pH conditions, greatly limiting their optical sensing applications.

Understanding the Stability of Poorly Covered Pickering Emulsions Using on-Chip Microfluidics.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

February 2025

Laboratory of Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter, Wageningen University and Research, Stippeneng 4, Wageningen, 6708 WE, The Netherlands.

Particle-stabilized emulsions, also known as Pickering emulsions, have shown promise in areas that require long-term stability with minimum use of surfactants. While most work has focused on densely covered Pickering emulsions, such emulsions are known to retain stability even when the interfaces are sparsely covered with particles. Here, the formation, dynamics, and stability of poorly covered model Pickering emulsions are studied in a controlled manner by utilizing a microfluidic platform.

Electronic address:

As a zoonotic virus, highly sensitive detection of monkeypox virus is crucial for its prevention and control due to its rapid increase in cases worldwide and the extremely high risk of virus transmission. In this paper, based on the principle of antigen-antibody specific recognition, an ultrasensitive resonance Raman biosensing probe was prepared using a molecule with the bifunctionality of resonance Raman effect and capturing antibody; and with the strong affinity of the biotin-streptavidin (Bio-SA) system, Bio-antibody and SA test strips were prepared. To match the T-line of the test strip, a portable Raman instrument with a strip-shaped spot was designed.
