Insoluble Prussian blue (IPB), Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3, is synthesized at room temperature and found to achieve a relatively high storage capacity of 146 mA h g−1 (at a 20 mA g−1 rate) as the cathode material for Na-ion batteries with high potential plateaus. XRD, SEM and TEM are employed to characterize the morphology and microstructure of the as-synthesized IPB. First-principles calculation is introduced to study the electrochemical mechanism. Generally, the environmental friendliness and low cost of the material make it possible to be used for large-scale electric storage applications.

Prussian blue (PB) has been broadly recognized as promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its large interstitial space and robust frame structure, whereas their applications are impeded by unsatisfied long-term cyclability and poor rate capability due to its inherent lattice defects. Herein, we report to fabricate the mesoporous hollow Fe 4 (Fe(CN) 6 ) 3 (one kind of PB) hierarchical nanocrystal architecture by the hydrothermal crystallization and HCl etching of the mesoporous precursor Fe 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3 cubic particles, leading to high crystallinity and large specific surface area. The resultant Fe 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3 cathode for SIBs exhibits a good reversibility and cycling stability with a capacity retention of 75.6 % at 0.5 C after 200 cycles as well as superb rate capability featuring a stable discharge specific capacity of 30.2 mAh g −1 at as high as 10 C, demonstrating the fast kinetics and low polarization of electrochemical reaction, which might be ascribed to the unique architecture and high crystallinity. This offers a new route to designing PB cathode of for SIBs with high rate capabilities.

The inherent hydroxide-rich (OH⁻) environment in alkaline media facilitates the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e − ORR). However, the strong interaction between alkali metal cations and solvated water molecules significantly reduces the connectivity of the hydrogen bond network within the alkaline electric double layer, thereby severely impeding rapid proton transport at the electrode surface. Herein, we rationally designed ZnO with oxygen vacancies-driven [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3− coordination (denoted as Fe(CN) 6 -ZnO-V O ) as an efficient 2e − ORR catalyst for H 2 O 2 electrosynthesis. We demonstrate that the locally coordinated [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3− establishes pathways for rapid proton transfer at the electrode surface by forming a hydrogen bond network with interfacial water molecules. Concurrently, this configuration significantly reduces the energy barrier of the *OOH intermediate. These synergistic effects collectively optimize the electrocatalytic performance for H 2 O 2 production under alkaline conditions. As expected, the Fe(CN) 6 -ZnO-V O delivers a significantly increased current density of 130 mA cm −2 that is much higher than ZnO (32 mA cm −2 ), as well as a superior H 2 O 2 production rate of 9.41 mol g cat −1 h −1 and a high faradaic efficiency of exceeds 90%. Our study highlights the crucial role of interfacial hydrogen-bonding connectivity and provides theoretical and technical guidance for developing reliable strategies to enhance the electrocatalytic properties of 2e − ORR.

Even after decades of development, the widespread application of electrochromic windows (ECW) is still seriously restricted by their high price and inadequate performance associated with structural/fabrication complexity and electrochemical instability. Herein, a simple hybrid electrochromic system based on PFSA (perfluorosulfonic acid)-coated Prussian blue (PB, Fe4III[FeII(CN)6]3) film and Ferricyanide–Ferrocyanide ([Fe(CN)6]4−/[Fe(CN)6]3−)-containing hybrid electrolyte is reported. The PB film and the [Fe(CN)6]4−/[Fe(CN)6]3−couple show near redox potentials well inside the electrochemical window of water, resulting in a low driven voltage (0.4 V for coloring and −0.6 V for bleaching) and a relatively long lifespan (300 cycles with 76.9% transmittance contrast retained). The PFSA layer, as a cation-exchange structure, significantly improves the transmittance modulation amplitude (ΔT: 23.3% vs. 71.9% at a wavelength of 633 nm) and optical memory abilities (ΔTretention: 10.1% vs. 67.0% after 300 s open-circuit rest increases) of the device, by means of preventing the direct contact and charge transfer between the PB film and the [Fe(CN)6]4−/[Fe(CN)6]3−couple. This “hybrid electrolyte + electron barrier layer” design provides an effective way for the construction of simple structured electrochromic devices.Keywords:electrochromic;smart window;Prussian blue;[Fe(CN)6]4−/[Fe(CN)6]3−redox couple;perfluorosulfonic acid ion-exchange membrane

Photothermal devices and thermoelectric cells hold great promise for energy generation but integration of the two remains a considerable challenge in real-life power supply for sensors. Here, a novel photo-thermo-electric hydrogel (PTEH-Interlocking) was constructed by the synthesis of a photothermal layer on a thermoelectric hydrogel with the redox pair Fe(CN) 6 3− /Fe(CN) 6 4− . The smart design of using the oxidation of pyrogallic acid by Fe(CN) 6 3− to construct the photothermal layer for photo-to-heat conversion protected the redox couple of the thermogalvanic ion pair from ultraviolet damage, as well as triggered the formation of an interlocking structure at the interface of the photothermal layer and the thermoelectric hydrogel. The as-prepared PTEH-Interlocking has shown a high Seebeck coefficient and rapid heat transfer, boosting the photo-thermo-electric conversion. As a demonstration of a practical application, the PTEH-Interlocking cells are successfully used as the energy supply for a mechanical sensor.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a vital protein for pregnancy determination and a marker for trophoblastic diseases , finds application in monitoring early pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy . This study presents an innovative approach employing electrochemical immunosensors for enhanced HCG detection, utilizing Anti-HCG antibodies and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in the sensor platform. Two sensor configurations were optimized: BSA/Anti-HCG/c-AuNPs/MEL/e-AuNPs/SPCE with [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3−/4− as a redox probe (1) and BSA/Anti-HCG/PPy/e-AuNPs/SPCE using polypyrrole (PPy) as a redox probe (2). The first sensor offers linear correlation in the 0.10–500.00 pg∙mL −1 HCG range, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.06 pg∙mL −1 , sensitivity of 32.25 μA∙pg −1 ∙mL∙cm −2 , RSD <2.47 %, and a recovery rate of 101.03–104.81 %. The second sensor widens the HCG detection range (40.00 fg∙mL −1 -5.00 pg∙mL −1 ) with a LOD of 16.53 fg∙mL −1 , ensuring precision (RSD <1.04 %) and a recovery range of 94.61–106.07 % in serum samples. These electrochemical immunosensors have transformative potential in biomarker detection, offering enhanced sensitivity, selectivity , and stability for advanced healthcare diagnostics.

Designing fast and simple quantitative methods on cheap and disposable electrodes for the early detection of HeLa cells is highly desirable for clinical diagnostics and public health. In this work, we developed a label-free and sensitive electrochemical cytosensor for HeLa cell detection based on the gated molecular transport across vertically ordered mesoporous silica films (VMSFs) on the disposable indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. As high affinity for a folate receptor existed on the membrane of HeLa cancer cells, folic acid (FA) functionalized VMSF could regulate the transport of electrochemical probe (Fe(CN) 6 3− ) by the specific recognition and adhesion of HeLa cells toward the VMSF surface. In addition, VMSF, served as a solid skeleton, is able to effectively prevent the direct contact of cells with the underlying electrode, remaining the underlying electrode activity and favoring the diffusion of Fe(CN) 6 3− . Once specific adhesion of HeLa cells to the VMSF surface happens, Fe(CN) 6 3− redox probe exhibits impeded transport in the silica nanochannels, ultimately resulting in the decreased electrochemical responses and realizing the quantitative determination of HeLa cells with a broad linear range (10 1 –10 5 cells/mL) and a low limit of detection (4 cells/mL). The proposed electrochemical cytosensor shows a great potential application for the early diagnosis of cervical cancer.

A label-free electrochemical immunosensor for sensitive detection of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was developed using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with horseradish peroxidase labeled immunoglobulins G (AuNPs-HRP-IgG) as signal amplification probe and rat monoclonal antibody against IAA as capture probe. AuNPs-HRP-IgG could be immobilized and through the interaction between 4-aminophenylboronic acid and a single N-glycosylation site, which exist in the CH2 domain of IgG. The electrochemical immunosensor was characterized by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in 0.1 M PBS (pH 7.4) containing Fe(CN) 6 3−/4− as redox probe. The decreased oxidation peak current of Fe(CN) 6 3−/4− was used to monitor the antibody–antigen interaction. The electrochemical immunosensor exhibited a linear range from 1 × 10 −9 to 5 × 10 −6 M with a limit of detection of 5.5 × 10 −10 M (S/N = 3). The proposed electrochemical immunosensor could well discriminate IAA from other phytohormones, such as gibberellin, abscisic acid and salicylic acid. In addition, IAA extracted from leaf of mung bean sprouts was detected using the developed immunosensor for evaluating its applicability, and the recovery was from 93.5% to 106.75%.

In this study, a simple, economic, and label-free electrochemical biosensor was developed for highly sensitive and selective miR-21 detection based on Fe(CN) 6 3− /Fe(CN) 6 4− electrochemical signal, which relies on DNA structures conjugating with carboxyl multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH)-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). High sensitivity and specificity of the biosensor were achieved by taking advantage of the target-recycled non-enzymatic amplification strategy (TRNEAS), which relies on sequence-specific hairpin strand displacement and does not require the addition of environment-susceptible enzymes. Besides, the SP-DNA strictly binds to the cMWCNTs/GCE via amide bonds, which ensure good electrochemical results and excellent stability for target miRNA detection. The developed miR-21 electrochemical biosensor exhibited a broad linear dynamic range of 0.1 fmol to 5 pmol and a detection limit of 56.7 amol for miR-21 detection in vitro . The relative miR-21 expression levels were particularly detected by our developed miR-21 biosensor and were highly consistent with the stem-loop RT-PCR results. In summary, our developed electrochemical biosensor exhibits great potential for further application in biomedical research and early clinical diagnosis.

A peptide (Li5–025)-modified gold nanoparticle (AuNP)/(titania (TiO 2 ) + 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)-21H,23H-porphine (TAPP))/glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was developed for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) determination. This electrode not only performs well in the electrochemical impedance determination of LPS in serum but can also be easily regenerated under light irradiation. Using Fe(CN) 6 3−/4- as a redox probe, LPS recognition can be indicated by the significantly increased electron-transfer resistance ( R et ) as a result of the coaction of the increased steric hindrance from the peptide-LPS complex and the electrostatic repulsion between LPS and Fe(CN) 6 3−/4- . The impedimetric signal was acquired in the frequency range 0.1 Hz ~ 100 kHz with an initial voltage of 174 mV and an amplitude of 10 mV. The resistance changes (Δ R et ) are linearly related to the LPS concentrations in a broad range (0.1 pg mL −1 ~ 100 ng mL −1 ) with a low detection limit (0.08 pg mL −1 ). Importantly, the electrode shows high selectivity to LPS from Escherichia coli O55:B5 compared to other bacterial sources and considerable anti-interference to 0.1% fetal calf serum, demonstrating its potential application in clinically relevant samples. Another highlight is that the AuNP/(TiO 2 + TAPP)/GCE surface can be photocatalytically regenerated under light irradiation (50 mW cm −2 , 300–2500 nm) without any obvious damage to the electrode microstructure. After simple peptide re-immobilization, the regenerated electrode demonstrates LPS response similar to the peptide less one, and the deviation is only 2.89% after 5-cycle reuse.
A peptide (Li5–025)-modified AuNP/(TiO 2 + TAPP porphine)/GCE was proposed, which not only has excellent electrochemical analytical performances for LPS assay in serum but also can be reused after light irradiation and subsequent peptide re-immobilization.

A ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor is proposed for the detection of thrombin. In the sensor, the iron metal-organic frameworks (Fe MOFs)-labeled aptamer as signal tags was used as signal probe (SP), and the electrolyte solution [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3-/4- was utilized as an inner reference probe (IR). In the presence of thrombin, the signal of Fe-MOFs can be detected. Meanwhile, the signal of [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3-/4 -IR almost remains stable. Accordingly, thrombin concentration can be monitored with the ratio response of I Fe-MOFs-SP /I [Fe(CN)6] 3-/4- -IR . The proposed ratiometric biosensor owns a strong ability to eliminate the disturbance that arises from different DNA loading densities, environmental impact and instrumental efficiency. DNA nanotetrahedron (NTH) with three-dimensional (3D) scaffold can effectively eliminate nonspecific adsorption of DNA and protein. The accessibility of target molecules and loading amounts of signal substances could be increased because of the enhanced mechanical rigidity of well-designed 3D NTH. Thus, detection reproducibility and sensitivity can be further improved. Moreover, the biosensor only requires conjugation with one electroactive substance. The modification procedure can be greatly simplified. The biosensor owns high sensitivity with the detection limit of 59.6 fM. We expect that it will emerge as a generalized ratiometric sensor that may be useful for detecting target analytes .

A molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor was designed for the selective determination of gatifloxacin (GTX) based on dual functional monomers. Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) enhanced the current intensity and zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF8) provided a large surface area to produce more imprinted cavities. In the electropolymerization of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), p-aminobenzoic acid (p-ABA) and nicotinamide (NA) were used as dual functional monomers, and GTX was the template molecule. Taking [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3−/4− as an electrochemical probe, an oxidation peak on the glassy carbon electrode was located at about 0.16 V (vs. saturated calomel electrode). Due to the diverse interactions among p-ABA, NA, and GTX, the MIP-dual sensor exhibited higher specificity towards GTX than MIP-p-ABA and MIP-NA sensors. The sensor had a wide linear range from 1.00 × 10 −14 to 1.00 × 10 −7 M with a low detection limit of 2.61 × 10 −15 M. Satisfactory recovery between 96.5 and 105% with relative standard deviation from 2.4 to 3.7% in real water samples evidenced the potential of the method in antibiotic contaminant determination.
