Highly active Fe 3 O 4 /GO/Au composite nanomaterial was fabricated as a substrate of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and applied for pesticide residue detection. The three-layer multifunctional Fe 3 O 4 /GO/Au nanoparticles (NPs) were designed by facile method, with high hotspots, and were characterized by various techniques, including ultraviolet spectrophotometry (UV), X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared absorption spectrometer (IR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The performance of Fe 3 O 4 /GO/Au was evaluated by Raman spectroscopy with R6G as a probe molecule to verify its enhancement effect. It exhibited a strong Raman signal with 10 −6 M of R6G. Furthermore, the presence of Fe 3 O 4 /GO/Au nanohybrid enabled the SERS-based method to detect mancozeb and showed an excellent linear relationship in the range of 0.25–25 ppm, with a low limit of detection (0.077 ppm), satisfactory EF, stability, and repeatability. In addition, the mechanism of SERS enhancement with electromagnetic mechanism (EM) and chemical mechanism (CM) was discussed in detail. Therefore, the proposed SERS approach holds promise as an auxiliary technique for screening contaminated agricultural products, environmental sample, and food in the future.

As an intermittent energy source, the efficient utilization of solar energy relies on stable and efficient energy conversion and storage technologies. Phase change materials (PCM) have become ideal candidate materials for solar thermal storage due to their high energy storage density and reversible cycling characteristics. However, traditional organic solid-liquid phase transition materials are prone to leakage during the phase transition process and have a relatively low photothermal conversion efficiency, which limits their practical application. To address the above issues, this study designed a novel composite phase change material (CPCM). By collaboratively loading nanomaterials of different dimensions, such as copper nanowires (CuNWs) and MXene, into a graphene porous framework and encapsulating paraffin (PW), the reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/ CuNWs/MXene/PW (rGCuMPW) composite material was successfully constructed. Among them, the high light absorption capacity of MXene, combined with the excellent thermal conductivity of CuNWs, significantly improved the photothermal conversion efficiency (92.11 %) and thermal energy storage density (ΔH = 165.77 J·g −1 ) of the material. In addition, this material still maintains a stable phase transition enthalpy value after 100 cycles, demonstrating excellent cycle stability and reusability. The CuNWs-MXene synergistic modification strategy proposed in this study not only effectively reduces the leakage rate of organic PCM, but also significantly improves the performance of photothermal conversion and thermal energy storage, providing a new type of high-performance CPCM for the efficient utilization of solar energy.

In the realm of glucose detection, nickel-based and copper-based nanocomposites have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional catalytic performance and high sensitivity. This study realized linear detection across dual concentration ranges in alkaline media by in situ growing Ni/Cu-BTC spherical nanocatalysts on reduced graphene oxide (rGO). From 350 μM to 2.95 mM, with a low detection limit (LOD L ) of 21.7 μM (S/N = 3) and a sensitivity (S L ) of 40 nA mM −1 cm −2 ; from 2.95 mM to 9.45 mM, the high-concentration detection limit (LOD H ) is 1.1 mM (S/N = 3), with an improved sensitivity (S H ) of 165.7 nA mM −1 cm −2 . The response time (t) is under 2 s. Additionally, the sensor demonstrated robust interference resistance, excellent stability (%RSD = 3.57 %), repeatability (%RSD = 2.27 %), and reproducibility (%RSD = 2.34 %). In real-world sample testing, this sensor measured glucose concentrations in plasma from healthy individuals both on an empty stomach and half an hour after eating, with a relative standard deviation range of 0.94 %–2.33 %. These results suggest that the rGO-Ni/Cu-BTC composite is a promising enzyme-free electrochemical sensing material for glucose detection

A poly( N -vinylpyrrolidone)-graphene oxide (NVP-GO) composite with high adsorption capacity for methylene blue (MB) was synthesized and comprehensively characterized using SEM, XRD, FT-IR, TG, elemental analysis, nitrogen physical adsorption, and XPS. The adsorption of MB onto NVP-GO was examined in relation to several variables, including contact time, adsorption temperature, initial concentration of MB, and pH. Adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics were thoroughly investigated. The adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model, and the Langmuir isotherm model indicated a monolayer adsorption pattern of MB onto NVP-GO, with the maximum adsorption capacities ranging from 116.6 to 161.3 mg·g −1 at temperatures between 25 and 45 °C. Thermodynamic assessments and activation energy calculations demonstrated that the adsorption process was spontaneous, endothermic, and controlled by chemical activation. XPS analysis highlighted the significance of electrostatic interactions, n–π interactions, π–π stacking, and hydrogen bonding in mediating the adsorption mechanisms between NVP-GO and MB. Notably, NVP-GO maintained stable adsorption efficiency over three consecutive adsorption–desorption cycles, highlighting its potential as a promising adsorbent for wastewater treatment. Graphical

To address the low power output issue of Betavoltaic Batteries in practical applications, this paper proposes a novel isotope beta radiation energy conversion and storage system integrating a GaAs-based Betavoltaic Batteries with a low self-discharge lithium metal battery utilizing flake graphite. This system enables simultaneous collection, conversion, and storage of beta radiation energy. In experiments, we fabricated a lithium metal battery employing flake graphite as the cathode, lithium metal as the anode, and LiFSI in DME electrolyte supplemented with 4-n-pentyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl(5CB) additive. This battery was then connected to the GaAs-based Betavoltaic Batteries. Experimental results demonstrate successful energy harvesting from the Betavoltaic Batteries alone, which effecttively powered an LCD display.

High-value utilization of agricultural waste • Green and low-cost fabrication • Synergistic double-layer design • Efficient solar desalination performance • Practical applicability Sorghum distillers' grains (SDG) are abundant by-product of sorghum liquor production but are often underutilized. In this study, we report a form-stable, carbohydrate-based double-layer aerogel (DLA) fabricated via directional freezing followed by ambient-pressure drying, which avoids energy-intensive supercritical freeze-drying routes. Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) extracted from SDG via TEMPO-mediated oxidation were combined with sodium alginate to form a Ca 2+ -crosslinked skeleton, and an rGO/g-C 3 N 4 photothermal layer was integrated on top to construct the DLA evaporator. By tuning the rGO/g-C 3 N 4 ratio, A 3 (0.6/0.4, w /w) exhibited markedly enhanced dimensional stability during cycling, showing only 3.2% projected-area shrinkage after 10 days, compared with severe shrinkage in the control samples. Meanwhile, A 3 maintained efficient solar evaporation with an evaporation rate of 1.43 kg·m −2 ·h −1 and a photothermal conversion efficiency of 93.14% under simulated irradiation. Outdoor tests further confirmed robust freshwater production across seasons (maximum 2.74 kg·m −2 ·h −1 ), and the collected condensate satisfied WHO ion-concentration guidelines. This work demonstrates an ambient-pressure-drying-enabled, form-stable CNF aerogel platform for scalable solar desalination and SDG valorization.

In recent years, with the development of electric vehicles and electric vessels, the issues of battery thermal safety have garnered significant attention. Composite phase-change materials (CPCMs) hold great potential as passive cooling systems in battery thermal management systems (BTMS), but their high flammability remains an unresolved challenge. This study successfully developed a flexible composite phase-change material, CPCM/P-CSF@rGO, by encapsulating a eutectic phase-change material composed of mannitol and galactitol in a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network, self-polymerised by phosphated corn straw cellulose (P-CSF) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The study demonstrates that the strong hydrogen bonding network formed between the phosphate groups introduced by phosphoric acid modification and rGO constructs highly efficient thermal conduction pathways, achieving a thermal conductivity of 1.039 W/(m•K) and significantly accelerating thermal response rates. Simultaneously, the incorporation of the P-CSF@rGO framework endows the material with excellent flexibility and shape stability. Due to the in-situ flame-retardant modification of the framework, the phase-change material maintains a high latent heat of phase-change (194.7 J/g) and achieves superior flame retardancy through gas-phase and condensation-phase mechanisms. It exhibits a limiting oxygen index of up to 30.64% and rapidly extinguishes itself when exposed to open flame in atmospheric conditions. Thus, the flexible composite phase-change material (CPCM/P-CSF@rGO) supported by a phosphorylated cellulose framework emerges as a promising candidate for ensuring safety and high performance in thermal management applications.

A facile one-step ball milling strategy was developed for direct synthesis of functionalized carbon adsorbents from natural flake graphite. The obtained ball-milled carbon materials (FG-BM) were systematically characterized and evaluated for their enhanced toluene removal performance. The obtained FG-BM exhibited a transformed morphology from stacked layers to micron-sized spherical particles with hierarchical porosity, a dramatically increased specific surface area, and abundant nitrogen/oxygen functional groups. These structural and chemical modifications significantly enhanced toluene removal performance, achieving 99.75% efficiency compared to 67% for pristine FG, with complete mineralization of toluene into non-toxic CO 2 rather than CO. Systematic optimization revealed that milling parameters, including particularly ball size, rotational speed, and cycle number, critically influenced performance, with 15 mm balls, 700 rpm, and 8 cycles delivering optimal results. The strategy demonstrated high generality, notably improving toluene removal efficiency for three commercial carbon adsorbents from 25 to 35% to 90.6–99.8%. Mechanistic studies identified pyridinic-N and oxygen-containing groups (C O, O-C=O) as key active sites, facilitating toluene adsorption and catalytic oxidation via intermediates such as benzaldehyde and benzoic acid. This work provides a scalable, solvent-free route to high-performance functionalized carbon adsorbents for efficient toluene removal.

Based on the confined flow - dual-network fixation mechanism, a self-adaptive composite phase change material was prepared. • In the chip thermal management, this composite phase change material could reduce the CPU temperature by up to 31.25 °C. • The composite phase change material has self-adaptive capability, reducing the interface thermal resistance by up to 78.56%. With the continuous trend toward high integration, chips are increasingly subjected to high heat-flux densities. However, excessive heat-flux density can induce chip overheating and warpage, increase local interfacial thermal resistance, and ultimately raise the risks of heat-dissipation failure and performance degradation. Therefore, thermal management has become a critical bottleneck restricting the further development of advanced chips, whereas conventional thermal interface materials (TIMs) still struggle to simultaneously accommodate chip warpage and maintain structural stability. To address this challenge, this study proposes a self-adaptive thermal-interface strategy based on a confined-flow and dual-network fixation mechanism. By constructing a calcium chloride tetrahydrate (CaCl 2 ·4H 2 O)/expanded graphite (EG)/in situ-grown silicon carbide nanowire (SiCnws) system, a high-efficiency heat-dissipating composite phase change material (CPCM) was developed, enabling simultaneous warpage conformability and structural stability. When applied to central processing unit (CPU) thermal management, the CPCM achieved a maximum core-temperature reduction of 31.25 °C. After 300 thermal cycles, the maximum fluctuation in the CPU core temperature was only 10.9 °C. Characterization results showed that, upon heating, the CPCM softened and conformed tightly to curved copper sheets, thereby reducing local thermal resistance. Interfacial thermal resistance measurements indicated that the adapted interface exhibited a resistance of 0.215 cm 2 ·K·W −1 , corresponding to a 78.56% reduction relative to the non-adapted state. This study provides a promising technical pathway and theoretical guidance for addressing chip warpage and high-heat-flux dissipation challenges.

With the rapid development of the photovoltaic and solar cell industry, the growing generation of crystalline silicon sawing/cutting waste has become an urgent problem. However, silicon (Si) is considered a promising alternative to graphite for next-generation high-energy density Li-ion batteries owing to its much higher theoretical capacity. Herein, photovoltaic silicon sawing/cutting waste is recycled as high-performance silicon/carbon anode active material of lithium-ion battery through an integrated strategy combining mechanical activation, acid leaching, dopamine self-assembly coating, and graphite buffering. The as-prepared silicon/carbon composite features a hierarchical architecture, which is composed of nanometer-sized Si particles covered with amorphous carbon and uniformly anchored in a conductive carbon matrix, effectively mitigating the severe volume fluctuation during charge/discharge. Enabled by the enhanced structural stability and interfacial compatibility, the activated silicon/carbon anode delivers a high reversible capacity of 641 mAh g −1 after 350 cycles at 0.5 A g −1 , with a capacity retention of 98.1%. Therefore, the investigation introduces an innovative method for recycling and enhancing the value of photovoltaic silicon sawing/cutting waste for further use, offering a sustainable and economically viable solution.

The pursuit of high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries demands high-silicon silicon-graphite composite negative electrodes, yet their commercialization remains hindered by interfacial incompatibility and mechanical instability. While an ideal binder must simultaneously achieve robust adhesion to both silicon and graphite, accommodate substantial silicon volume changes, and maintain high binder bulk stability, existing systems fail to harmonize these requirements. Here, we present a molecularly engineered binder that resolves this trilemma through interfacial-mechanical synergy. By integrating a hydrophobic-soft copolymer and hydrophilic-hard copolymer, our design enables amphiphilic interfacial adhesion and provides mechanical properties specifically tailored to accommodate silicon volume changes. A supramolecular crosslinker further reinforces interchain cohesion, ensuring binder bulk stability during long cycling life. This design enables a 2 Ah-level pouch cell to sustain 500 cycles at 0.3 C with 99.83% average Coulombic efficiency. At a commercial binder loading of 5 wt%, 1 Ah cells deliver over 2000 cycles at 1 C with an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.93%. Our work has the potential to not only resolve the long-standing trade-off between interfacial and mechanical stability in silicon-based negative electrodes but also provide a practical framework for designing next-generation binders targeting energy-dense, durable batteries.

A thiolated graphene/AuNPs nanointerface was constructed to enhance electron transfer. • An electropolymerized EMIP layer enabled selective epitope-based recognition of AFP. • A sensitive epitope-imprinted electrochemical biosensor was developed for AFP analysis. • The sensor exhibited a wide linear range (0.001–100.0 ng mL −1 ) and a low LOD of 0.069 pg mL −1 . • The biosensor enabled reliable AFP determination in spiked human plasma samples. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a clinically important serum biomarker for the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, conventional AFP detection methods often suffer from limited sensitivity, selectivity and operational complexity. In this work, an electrochemical biosensor based on an epitope molecularly imprinted polymer (EMIP) was developed for the sensitive and selective determination of AFP. The sensing interface was constructed by electropolymerization of o -phenylenediamine ( o -PD) on a gold electrode sequentially modified with thiolated graphene (G–SH) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), using the AFP C-terminal dodecapeptide (KLISKTRAALGV) as the epitope template. The excellent analytical performance of the biosensor can be attributed to the synergistic integration of the EMIP recognition layer, G–SH, and AuNPs, which provide highly selective molecular recognition, an enlarged electroactive surface area and accelerated interfacial electron transfer. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed biosensor exhibited a wide linear range of 0.001–100.0 ng mL −1 , and a low detection limit of 0.069 pg mL −1 , together with excellent selectivity against NMP22, bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE), good reproducibility, and satisfactory storage stability. Satisfactory recoveries obtained in spiked human plasma samples demonstrated its potential applicability for AFP determination in complex biological matrices. This work provides a sensitive and robust platform for AFP determination and highlights the potential of epitope-imprinted electrochemical biosensors for hepatocellular carcinoma screening and clinical biomarker monitoring. An epitope-imprinted electrochemical biosensor integrating an electropolymerized EMIP film with a thiolated graphene/AuNPs nanointerface was developed for AFP detection. The biosensor combines highly selective molecular recognition with enhanced electron transfer, achieving a 0.069 pg mL −1 detection limit and successful analysis of spiked human plasma samples.
