A novel and ultrasensitive sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the quantitative detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in this work. Three-dimensional (3D) ZnO nanoflowers (NFs) were 3-aminopropyl-functionalized as the matrix to immobilize the primary antibodies (Ab1). The unique 3D flower-like nanostructure of ZnO provided a higher surface area for the capture of proteins. 3D AuPd NFs were employed as the label to immobilize the secondary antibodies (Ab2). The unique 3D flower-like nanostructure of AuPd produced a better electrocatalytic performance towards the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Due to the special electrochemical performance of 3D flower-like nanomaterials, the facile and sensitive fabrication of the designed immunosensor was achieved. Under optimal conditions, the designed immunosensor exhibited a wide linear range from 10−5 ng mL−1 to 102 ng mL−1 with a low detection limit of 3.2 fg mL−1 for CEA. It also displayed an electrochemical performance with good reproducibility, selectivity and stability, which would provide potential applications in the clinical diagnosis of other tumor markers.

Lipase ZC12, a cold-adapted lipase derived from Psychrobacter sp. ZY124, can be effectively activated by Ca 2+ . Inspired by this significant property, we developed a novel immobilized lipase ZC12/Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 hybrid nanoflowers (LHNs). The LHNs have been characterized as a regular hierarchical flowerlike structure nanoflowers by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Compared with free lipase ZC12, the LHNs exerted enhanced enzymatic activity of 206% and 2.31-fold in k cat / K m value, especially high specific activity at low temperature. After 7 successive cycles, the LHNs could still maintain its initial activity, demonstrating superior durability than the free lipase ZC12. Meanwhile, its stability basically kept unchanged in a wide range of temperature and pH. Finally, fructose laurate was transformed by the LHNs with 57.39% conversion rate which is twice as much as the free lipase. To sum up, these results validated that LHNs could emerge as an efficient immobilized lipase and possess the promising potential for practical applications.

Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensor, one of the most widely used gas sensors, faces significant challenges in achieving lower detection limit. Addressing this issue, the utilization and strategic design of bimetallic catalysts present a promising avenue. In this paper, Pd-Pt was in-situ grown on ZnO nanoflowers directly prepared on planar substrate and a sensor for detecting acetone was developed. The test results reveal that the Pd-Pt/ZnO nanoflowers sensor exhibits a remarkable 107.6 response to 100 ppm acetone at 350 °C, while presenting a rapid response (15s). Moreover, this sensor demonstrates excellent capability in detecting acetone at concentrations as low as 1 ppb, showcasing impressive gas-sensing performance. The response of the sensor to 100 ppm acetone is twice that of ethanol at the same concentration. The exceptional performance of the sensor results from its distinctive nanoflower structure and the catalytic effect of the Pd-Pt, which offers an extensive surface area and enhances the rate of redox reaction for gas molecules. This in-situ grown method has great potential for improving the gas-sensing performance in gas sensor.

The demand for high-performance electromagnetic wave absorbent materials continues to grow with advancing technology. This study reports the synthesis of Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 /Fe 3 O 4 nanoflower to enhance electromagnetic wave absorption. Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 , synthesized via a hydrothermal method, was composited with different content Fe 3 O 4 nanocrystals. The strong binding between sheets of nanoflowers provides large surface area and active sites for electromagnetic wave absorption (EMA). The combination of Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 and Fe 3 O 4 markedly enhanced the dielectric and magnetic properties, resulting in exceptional EMA performance. The sample achieved a minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of −75 dB at 7.0 GHz with a thickness of just 2.5 mm, along with a maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EABW) of 9.2 GHz. The broadband and strong absorption on electromagnetic wave is attributed to the synergistic effects of ferroelectric properties from Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 and spinel structure of Fe 3 O 4 , supported by strong dipole coupling, interfacial polarization, and high-spin states of Fe ions. The underlying mechanism is thoroughly discussed, and the results demonstrate superior performance compared to similar studies in the field.

In this present study, we proposed a smart biomineralization method for creating hybrid organic–inorganic nanoflowers using a Co2+-dependent enzyme (D-psicose 3-epimerase; DPEase) as the organic component and cobalt phosphate as the inorganic component. The prepared nanoflowers have many separated petals that have a nanometer size. Under optimum conditions (60 °C and pH of 8.5), the nanoflower can display its maximum activity (36.2 U/mg), which is about 7.2-fold higher than free DPEase. Furthermore, the immobilized DPEase presents enhanced pH and thermal stabilities. The DPEase-nanoflower maintained about 90% of its activity after six reaction cycles, highlighting its excellent reusability.Keywords:nanoflower;immobilization;metal-dependent enzyme;D-psicose;DPEase

Multilayer ZnO nanoflowers constructed by many nanograins with highly exposed {0001} facet have been prepared. The grain size and exposed {0001} facet is adjusted by hydrothermal condition and citrate-assisted steric hindrance, respectively. Subsequently, the gas sensing performances of the as-prepared ZnO sensors with various hydrothermal temperatures and times were investigated. The detailedly sensing experiments demonstrated that when the hydrothermal temperature and time are 120 °C and 9h, respectively, the obtained ZnO nanoflower sensor (ZnO-120-9) possesses optimal response of 80.3 towards 100 ppm NO x gas concentration at 180 °C. Meanwhile, ZnO-120-9 exhibits excellent selectivity, rapid response and recovery time, and also shows an obvious response signal at 0.5 ppm NO x exposure, which manifests that the lower concentration detection is also attainable. The superior performance of ZnO-120-9 towards NO x is due to the highly exposed {0001} facet and the size comparable to Debye length. As a result, such structure is conducive to the adsorption of more oxygen species and significant reduction of resistance, and they improve the sensitivity of a sensor.

Graphical A binder-free electrode was constructed by decorating MnO 2 nanoflowers onto the hybrid material of ZIF-8/ZnO, as derived from ZIF-8 via pyrolysis. Both the composite electrode and the NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 //activated carbon (AC) asymmetric supercapacitor demonstrate excellent electrochemical performance, showing that NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 is a promising candidate for supercapacitors due to the synergistic contribution of ZIF-8, ZnO and MnO 2 . In this study, ZIF-8 (Zn(MeIn) 2 , MeIn=2-methylimidazole) was synthesized directly on Ni foam with the use of polydopamine (PDA). By following a hydrothermal process, MnO 2 nanoflowers were decorated on the hybrid material of ZIF-8/ZnO, as derived from ZIF-8 via pyrolysis at 500 °C under nitrogen flow. The produced binder-free electrode (NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 ) demonstrated an excellent electrochemical performance for supercapacitors, including a specific capacitance of 2005 F g −1 at 2 A g −1 and a fairly high cycling stability (90.74% retention after 4000 cycles). Furthermore, a NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 //activated carbon (AC) asymmetric supercapacitor showed an energy density of 70.57 Wh kg −1 given a power density of 112.45 kW kg −1 . These results demonstrate that NF/ZIF-8-ZnO/MnO 2 is a promising candidate for supercapacitors due to the synergistic contribution of ZIF-8, ZnO and MnO 2 .

In this paper, a facile hydrothermal synthetic strategy was developed for MoS 2 nanoflowers with enlarged interlayer spacing on the carbon cloth (CC) as a high efficiency cathode electrode for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under wide pH condition . It was observed that the loading amount of MoS 2 has a major impact on the HER performance, where the optimized MoS 2 /CC exhibited a low onset potential of 94 mV and a small Tafel slope of 50 mV dec −1 in strong acid solution (pH = 0). The improved HER performance can be contributed to the enlarged interlayer spacing, abundant defects and more exposed active sites in the small size MoS 2 nanosheets as revealed by XRD and HRTEM. Meanwhile, it also exhibited relatively good performance for HER under basic and neutral conditions with the overpotentials of 188 (pH = 14) and 230 (pH = 7) mV to achieve current density of 10 mA cm −2 and the Tafel slopes of 52 and 84 mV dec −1 , respectively.

High-efficient SERS substrates containing dense hot spots were fabricated by assembling 3D Ag nanoflowers (AgNFs)@Au-FTO substrate by using citrate ions as the shape-guiding agent. The vertical growth of 3D AgNFs could be attributed to the synergistic effects of the concentration gradient layer of Ag + and the density gradient of the charge carrier. Combined with the simulation result of FDTD method, the enhanced SERS sensitivity and repeatability of AgNFs@Au-FTO could be attributed to the enlarged specific surface area, and the improved density of hot spots contributed by the overlap between the vertically stacked AgNSs with a high population of sharp edges.

The objective of this work was to prepare and evaluate Ni 3 S 4 /graphene nanostructures for making high-performance supercapacitor electrodes. A one-pot solvothermal method was developed to prepare the hierarchical nanostructures consisting of Ni 3 S 4 nanoflowers on graphene nanosheets. Due to the hierarchical structure of Ni 3 S 4 nanoflowers on graphene nanosheets, the resulting electrodes exhibited high supercapacitive performance. Herein, the Ni 3 S 4 /graphene electrode demonstrated the specific capacitance of 978.4 F g –1 at the current density of 0.5 A g –1 , the rate capability and long-term cycling stability were also excellent. Moreover, the capacitance contribution of NG-60 can reach 87.9% of the total capacity at 10 mV s −1 . The high pseudo-capacitive performance can be attributed to the superior electronic conductivity of graphene nanosheets and the well interconnected tiny pores/channels in the Ni 3 S 4 nanoflower arrays. The prepared Ni 3 S 4 /graphene hierarchical nanostructures may be promising as innovative electrode materials for making high-performance supercapacitors.

A sandwich electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensing system for soybean agglutinin (SBA) detection was developed with AuPt@C60 nanoflowers (AuPt@C60 NFs) as a novel co-reactant accelerator to enhance the performance of N-(aminobutyl)-N-(ethylisoluminol) (ABEI). In this strategy, nanoflower-liked AuPt@C60 complex served as a matrix for loading a large sum of ABEI and galactosamine (Gal) by Au-N and Pt-N bonds to achieve the nanocomposite Gal-ABEI-AuPt@C60 NFs. Dissolved oxygen was used as a co-reaction reagent, while AuPt@C60 complex acted as a co-reactant accelerator for dissolved oxygen to enhanced the ECL emission of ABEI. Gal, as an identifying element, was highly loaded by electrodeposited gold nanoparticles (Dp Au) on the electrode to recognize SBA, and further combine with Gal-ABEI-AuPt@C60 NFs to form a sandwich model. As a result, the proposed SBA biosensor exhibited a wide linear range from 1.0 ng·mL−1 to 5.0 μg·mL−1 and a low detection limit of 0.33 ng·mL−1. In addition, the biosensor displayed an excellent selectivity and an acceptable stability and reproducibility. The combination of AuPt@C60 NFs and ABEI provided a new ECL sensing platform without exogenous co-reactant.

Noble metal aggregates have received increasing interest in environmental monitoring and biological analysis as SERS substrates due to their high sensitivity. Depositing nanoparticles onto oxide support presents an effective approach for assembling noble metals. In this study, Au@Fe 2 O 3 composite substrates were utilized for SERS detection. Low detection limits for 4-MBA (LOD 4-MBA = 4.79 × 10 −9 M) and MB (LOD MB = 3.36 × 10 −9 M) demonstrate this SERS technique has high sensitivity. The target molecule signal did not show a significant decline, indicating good temporal stability of the substrate. The synergistic effects arising from the electromagnetic enhancement from closely spaced Au NPs, chemical enhancement from Fe 2 O 3 , and enrichment by an external magnetic field endow the Au@Fe 2 O 3 composite substrate with outstanding SERS performance. Moreover, the Au@Fe 2 O 3 composite substrates have been successfully used to detect 4-ATP and 4-NTP in water, which has exhibited outstanding detection capability. (LOD 4-ATP = 7.25 × 10 −9 M, LOD 4-NTP = 1.85 × 10 −9 M).
