Abnormal protein phosphorylation may relate to diseases such as Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and Parkinson’s. Therefore, the real-time detection of phosphoproteins in sweat was of great significance for the early knowledge, detection, and treatment of neurological diseases. In this work, anatase/rutile TiO2was in situ grown on the MXene surface to constructing the intercalation structure MXene@anatase/rutile TiO2ternary heterostructure as a sensing platform for detecting phosphoprotein in sweat. Here, the intercalation structure of MXene acted as electron and diffusion channels for phosphoproteins. The in situ grown anatase/rutile TiO2with n-n-type heterostructure provided specific adsorption sites for the phosphoproteins. The determination of phosphoprotein covered concentrations in sweat, with linear range from 0.01 to 1 mg/mL, along with a low LOD of 1.52 μM. It is worth noting that, since the macromolecular phosphoprotein was adsorbed on the surface of the material, the electrochemical signal gradually decreased with the increase of phosphoprotein concentration. In addition, the active sites in the MXene@anatase/rutile TiO2ternary heterojunction and synergistic effect of the heterojunction were verified by first-principle calculations to further realize the response to phosphoproteins. Additionally, the effective diffusion capacity and mobility of phosphoprotein molecules in the ternary heterojunction structure were studied by molecular dynamics simulation. Furthermore, the constructed sensing platform showed high selectivity, repeatability, reproducibility, and stability, and this newly developed sensor can detect for phosphoprotein in actual sweat samples. This satisfactory sensing strategy could be promoted to realize the noninvasive and continuous detection of sweat.Keywords:sweat;phosphoprotein;MXene;anatae/rutile TiO2;intercalation structure;healthcare monitoring

Ti 3+ self-doped rutile/anatase/TiO 2 (B) mixed-crystal tri-phase heterojunctions photocatalysts are fabricated via hydrothermal approach and mechanochemical process, followed by in-situ solid-state chemical reduction approach. The as-prepared samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photocatalysts are consisted by anatase/rutile TiO 2 nanoparticles and 1D TiO 2 (B) single-crystalline nanorods, which form rutile/anatase/TiO 2 (B) tri-phase heterojunctions. The visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation rates of methyl orange and phenol are up to ∼98 and 97%, which are 2.2 and 1.8 times higher than that of commercial Degussa P25, 2.3 and 2.2 times higher than that of pure TiO 2 (B) as well. The enhancement can be attributed to the synergistic effect of special nanostructure, tri-phase heterojunctions, oxygen vacancy and Ti 3+ self-doping, which facilitates the absorption of visible light and the spatial separation of photo-generated charge carriers. This work provides a new perspective for designing high-active visible-light-driven photocatalyst in future.

The discharge of industrial heavy metal wastewater not only leads to environmental pollution, but also harms human health, so it is imperative to control heavy metal pollution. In the current work, a sequence of anatase/brookite TiO 2 @COF with different mass ratios, bi-phase TiO 2 and bare COF were successfully synthesized by simple hydrothermal synthesis. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared catalysts was assessed by reducing Cr(Ⅵ) in model pollutant (K 2 Cr 2 O 7 ). Under the condition of pH = 3, the Cr(Ⅵ) reduction rate of TiO 2 @COF-4 was as high as 99.19% in 30 min. The photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 @COF-4 remained stable in four consecutive cycles, suggesting that it has a potential application prospect for the removal of Cr(Ⅵ) in the actual environment. The morphology and structure of photocatalysts were observed by different techniques (SEM/EDS, HRTEM, BET analysis, XRD, FTIR and XPS). The specific reasons for the enhancement of photocatalytic performance of materials were explored by different methods (PL, UV–vis DRS, Mott-Schottky plots, I-T curves and EIS). Finally, we concluded that the photocatalytic system of TiO 2 @COF-4 may follow the typical direct Z- scheme mechanism. This work provides an effective solution for the water treatment of heavy metal pollution.
