The Fenton-like reaction has been widely used for environmental modification. However, improvement of the catalytic efficiency is still a challenge. In this study, a series of core-shell-shaped catalysts (FeNC-, presents the calcination temperature) for the Fenton-like reaction was fabricated through the pyrolysis of the Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOF). The Fe species were encapsulated by the N-doped carbon materials and changed from FeO to FeC, α-Fe, and Fe-N with the temperature increasing from 500 to 800 °C. Simultaneously, the electron density of the Fe atom obviously increased. FeNC-650 exhibited high efficiency, as more than 85.6% TC (40 mg/L) instantaneous removal through the HO-based Fenton-like reaction. The turnover number is about 70 and 64 times higher than that of Fe-MOF and FeNC-500. The synergistic interaction among FeC, α-Fe, and Fe-N induced electron distribution around the Fe atom and excellent catalytic performances. Moreover, FeNC-650 exhibited excellent interference resistance toward different anions and humic acid. The toxicity of intermediate products decreased during the TC degradation. This research may give a strategy for the synthesis of catalysts used in wastewater purification.

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a minimally invasive, non-thermal tumor ablation technique that induces nanoscale membrane perforation, leading to immunogenic cell death (ICD). However, IRE alone is limited by uneven electric field attenuation, incomplete tumor ablation, and the immunosuppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment. To address these challenges, a multifunctional nanomaterial, vermiculite nanosheets/calcium peroxide nanosheets (VMT/CaO NSs), is developed to enhance the efficacy of IRE.

Improvements in tumor therapy require a combination of strategies where targeted treatment is critical. We developed a new versatile nanoplatform, MA@E, that generates high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with effective photothermal conversions in the removal of tumors. Enhanced stability liposomes were employed as carriers to facilitate the uniform distribution and stable storage of encapsulated gold nanorods (AuNRs) and Mn-MIL-100 metal-organic frameworks, with efficient delivery of MA@E to the cytoplasm.

Optical sensors based on nanozymes have shown great promise for the rapid and sensitive detection of pesticide residues in environmental and food samples. However, their applicability is often limited by a lack of selectivity due to nonspecific enzyme inhibition. Therefore, we developed a colorimetric sensing platform specifically tailored to detect the agricultural fungicide thiophanate-methyl (TpM), leveraging its unique inhibitory effect on nanozyme activity.

The robust redox cycle of the catalytic center is essential for enhancing sustainable water purification in Fenton-like catalysis. However, the unequal of electron donation and acceptance, especially slow reductive half-reactions, often limit the process. Herein, we developed a photocatalytic heterojunction by integrating cuprous oxide (CuO) with hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN).
