Solar-driven interfacial evaporation (SIE) offers a sustainable solution towards global water-energy-environment crises. Graphene as an advanced photothermal material represents a promising candidate for SIE to generate steam rapidly for multi-functional applications. However, an inherent trade-off between the π-conjugation and the hydrophilicity seriously hinders the SIE performance of graphene-based materials. Herein, we propose an innovative route to synchronously elevate both the hydrophilicity and the π-conjugation by in-situ growth of carbon dots on reduced graphene oxide (CDs-rGO). Fundamentally, the introduction of CDs shortens the bandgap and brings fluorescence resonance energy transfer effect, achieving an outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency of 99.3 %. Moreover, the abundant oxygen-containing groups of CDs ensure effective water activation of CDs-rGO, further reducing the solid-liquid interface thermal resistance and evaporation enthalpy of water. The corresponding three-dimensional porous aerogel demonstrates an unprecedentedly high water evaporation rate of 8.25 kg m −2 h −1 under 1 sun irradiation. Leveraging the ultra-efficient solar steam generation, a SIE-driven artificially hydrologic cycle system has been creatively designed for heavy metal-contaminated soil remediation, illustrating an impressive cobalt removal efficiency of 60.1 %. This work highlights the crucial roles of π-conjugation in elevating the solar-to-heat conversion and hydrophilicity in promoting water activation, and offers novel insights into expanding SIE to soil remediation.

This study presents an integrated dual-mode sensing strategy, in which qualitative fluorescence screening is followed by quantitative electrochemical detection, improving detection efficiency and enabling rapid PCM analysis. It develops a novel fluorescence electrochemical aptasensor that combines in vitro “Dark-box” applications with CRISPR/Cas12a system electrode surface sensing technology. PCM activates the DNA walker, and the DNAzyme induces cyclic cleavage of DNA strands bearing the Carboxyfluorescein (FMA) group. After magnetic separation, the fluorescence reaction combined with the “Dark box” enables the preliminary qualitative analysis of procymidone (PCM). Following the preliminary qualitative detection, the solution is introduced to the electrochemical aptasensor platform integrated with the CRISPR/Cas12 system. The Cas12a system triggers cyclic cleavage, producing a signal change that enables the electrochemical quantitative detection of PCM. An fluorescence (FL) response occurs when the PCM concentration in spiked samples is at or above 1 pg·mL −1 , allowing for qualitative fluorescence detection. The EC platform's detection limit is 8.51 × 10 −6 ng·mL −1 , with a range of 1 × 10 −2 ng·mL −1 to 1 × 10 4 ng·mL −1 . The designed dual-mode sensor provides reliable monitoring of PCM in real samples.

Recently, graphene decorated with various inorganic nanoparticles, such as Pt, Au, Ag, TiO 2 and Fe 3 O 4 , among which Ag nanocomposites are good candidates for electronics, optics, electrochemistry and catalysis. However, preparation techniques for Ag nanoparticles/carbon matrix hybrids require tedious multi-step processes often involving toxic reducing agents/high temperatures which is not viable for scalable production. Here, a facile, one step and eco-friendly chemical co-reduction route was utilized to synthesis of a new nanocomposites by Ag nanoparticle anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) at ambient temperature and combined first principles theoretical analyze their interfacial adsorption behavior, is reported. In this way, graphene oxide (GO) and Ag + simultaneously reduced by thiourea dioxide (TD) without using any additional reduced reactants. Results indicated that GO was successfully reduced to rGO and well-dispersed Ag nanoparticles with sizes of 6–7 nm, anchored on the surface of rGO sheets. Reduction mechanism was attributed to the synergistic effect of its hydrolysis products in aqueous media. The experiment and theoretical calculation results obtained demonstrate this method to be applicable to the synthesis of other metals on rGO sheets in order to improve wettability and interfacial bonding between rGO and metal and may possibly find various forthcoming medicinal, industrial and technological applications.

Currently, the development of high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with improved areal capacity is still challenging. The common strategy to improve areal capacity is to increase the thickness of electrode materials. However, the application of thick electrodes remains challenge due to poor mechanical properties , slow charge and ion transport, and poor electrolyte infiltration . In this study, thick electrodes are constructed by 3D printing a Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 @VSe 2 -based ink. The highly electrical conductor VSe 2 on the Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 surface improves the ion and charge transport and eases the internal resistance of the 3D-printed electrode during charge and discharge. As a result, LIBs employing these thick electrodes show a high-rate capability of 128.9 mAh/g at 10 C, improved areal capacities up to 6.2 mAh/cm 2 , and ultrastable cycling capability (84.5% of capacity retention after 1700 cycles). Moreover, full cells utilizing 3D-Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 @VSe 2 as the anode and 3D-LiFePO 4 @AC/rGO as the cathode with 1.81 V potential yield a high specific capacity of 152.5 mAh/g at 0.1C, a high specific energy density of 276.025 Wh/kg, and a power density of 30.5 W/kg at 0.1C. This work paves the way to designing thick electrodes for high-performance LIBs.

Water-soluble captopril-capped atomically precise Pd nanoclusters (Pd17Capt8 NCs: 1.3 ± 0.5 nm) produced by a simple chemical reduction were supported on preprepared hybrid Co3Al-layered double hydroxide/reduced graphene oxide (Co3Al-LDH/rGO) by a pH-adjusted electrostatic adsorption strategy followed by proper calcinations, giving a series of novel catalysts x-PdNCs/CoAl(O)/rGO-T (x (Pd loading) = 0.09, 0.17, 0.43 wt % (ICP), T = 230, 250, 280, 300, 320 °C). The characterization results show that the as-obtained catalysts possess the hierarchical nanosheet array morphology. Pd NCs with a size of ∼1.3 to 1.8 nm are highly distributed at the edge sites of the CoAl(O) nanosheets. All of the x-PdNCs/CoAl(O)/rGO-T catalysts show superior catalytic efficiency for the conversion of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol, particularly 0.17-PdNCs/CoAl(O)/rGO-300 possesses the highest performance with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 30 042 h–1, which is the highest among the reported Pd-based catalysts so far. The superior activity of 0.17-PdNCs/CoAl(O)/rGO-300 can be owing to ultrafine Pd NCs with a clean surface, the strongest PdNCs–Co2+-OH(LDH)–rGO three-phase synergy, and the much improved adsorption of the substrate via π–π stacking upon nanosheet array morphology. Meanwhile, 0.17-PdNCs/CoAl(O)/rGO-300 exhibits excellent catalytic activities for various nitroarenes and anionic azo dyes as well as good reusability with the complete reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) within 90 s after 10 successive runs. The present work provides not only a simple and convenient strategy for the synthesis of clean, efficient, and environmentally friendly supported metal nanocluster catalysts but also a new idea for the efficient catalytic degradation of environmental pollutants.

Achieving broad effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) with minimal weight gain in aramid honeycomb (HC) remains a significant challenge. This study successfully prepared crosslinked PVA/RGO foam in situ-filled aramid HC composites using freeze-drying and low-temperature chemical reduction processes. By adjusting the GO content, partial to complete encapsulation of the PVA framework by RGO sheets could be achieved, and all samples exhibited a dense framework network structure as seen in the SEM. The [email protected] /0.4Vc foam filled HC achieves a broadband EAB of 12.74 GHz at a thickness of 30 mm. Such foam samples can also achieve effective absorption at 1.19–2 GHz. The foam filled honeycomb further increases the compressive strength to 5.24 MPa compared with pure HC. Obvious overlap between the CST electric field distribution demonstrates that the conductive loss and λ/4 interference cancels are the main pathways of MA. Overall, the PVA/RGO foam-filled HC composites exhibit ultra-broadband microwave absorption performance with enhanced structural compressive strength , which has significant feasibility and application value in aerospace stealth structures.

Strigolactones (SLs) are novel plant hormones that play crucial roles in regulating plant growth and development. The stereoisomers of SLs often exhibit distinct biological activities, making their chiral separation and analysis essential for understanding their regulatory roles in plant branching. This study focused on the chiral separation and characterization of SL stereoisomers, including GR24 (synthetic) and strigol (natural). A magnetic nanocomposite (Ni₃(HITP)₂@Fe₃O₄@rGO) was synthesized for SL extraction, combined with SFC-MS/MS for precise separation and quantification. The method exhibited excellent linearity (0.2–50 ng/mL), minimal matrix effects (1.64–2.17 %), and low detection limits (1.93–3.76 pg/mL). Recoveries ranged from 86.90 % to 106.37 % with RSDs of 2.56 %–13.54 %. Under nitrogen and phosphorus stress, only (+)-strigol was detected in the roots of Oryza sativa L., suggesting its regulatory role under stress conditions. This reliable method provides robust support for exploring the physiological roles of SL stereoisomers in plants, shedding light on their functions in stress response and development.

As an outstanding mesh catalyst support, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) has attracted enormous attention in recent years. Cu nanoparticles-RGO (Cu NPs@RGO) as a green catalyst was prepared through a green reduction method by ascorbic acid in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The structure of prepared Cu NPs@RGO was characterized. The catalytic activity of Cu NPs@RGO was estimated. A green and efficient method for synthesizing symmetrical biaryl compounds was developed by Cu NPs@RGO-catalyzed Ullmann homocoupling of aryl halides or arylboronic acids in ionic liquids under microwave (MW) irradiation. The catalytic system could be recycled five times with slight loss of activity. Through this method, nine kinds of biaryls were prepared by homocoupling reaction of the corresponding aryl iodides, aryl bromides, aryl chlorides and aryl boronic acids in moderate to good yields.

A modified QuEChERS method was developed in analysis of 52 veterinary drugs. • A novel MIL-101(Cr)–rGO@melamine sponge composite was fabricated. • The fast matrix purification could be achieved within several seconds. • Matrix cleanup was achieved through simple soaking and squeezing. • The method showed low matrix effects, good recoveries, and high precision. Herein, we report the fabrication of an elastic, quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe adsorbent using a functionalized melamine sponge (MLS) and used it for the high-throughput analysis of 52 veterinary drugs in beef liver samples via ultraperformance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. The as-prepared adsorbent was obtained by successive loading of Matérial Institut Lavoisier-101 (Chromium) [MIL-101(Cr)] and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on melamine sponge skeletons. Excellent linearity with determination coefficients of ≥0.9942 was obtained across a range of 0.25–200 μg·kg −1 . Relatively low limits of detection (0.1–4.9 μg·kg −1 ) and limit of quantitation (LOQ; 0.3–16.2 μg·kg −1 ) were obtained. When fortified at three levels (1×, 5×, and 10× LOQ), spiked recoveries varied between 63.5% and 115.4%, with the intraday and interday relative standard deviations of ≤12.9%. Through direct infiltration and compression, efficient matrix purification was accomplished within seconds, yielding negligible matrix effects (from −18.4% to +19.1%). Thus, the MIL-101(Cr)–rGO@MLS adsorbent possesses high potential for fast, convenient, and efficient matrix purification in complex sample analysis.

Photosynthetic algae–microbial fuel cells (PAMFCs) are attractive for energy-positive wastewater treatment and carbon mitigation. However, PAMFC performance under continuous flow is often constrained by limited cathodic electron-acceptor supply and unstable photosynthetic biofilms, while the extent to which cathode interfacial engineering can stabilize diurnal power output and assimilative NH4+–N removal remains unclear. In this study, the sponge-like and petal-like ZnO0.2-NiO@rGO-modified carbon fibers (ZnO0.2-NiO@rGO-pCFs and ZnO0.2-NiO@rGO-pCFp) and pre-fabricated carbon felt (pCF) were used as cathode materials to construct three sets of PAMFC systems. Under light–dark cycling, the engineered cathodes reached steady operation within about 6.5 d and increased the steady-state voltage to approximately 0.35 V, compared with approximately 0.08 V for pCF. Under continuous-flow conditions, cathodic NH4+–N removal exhibited a stable diurnal rhythm, with higher removal during illumination at about 43–51% than in the dark at about 29–30%, consistent with algal assimilation as the primary nitrogen sink, while cathode modification mainly improved the cathodic microenvironment and response stability. Compared with pCF, the ZnO0.2–NiO@rGO cathode enriched a more even, Chlorophyta-dominated algal biofilm with an approximate relative abundance of 80%, indicating that its selective interfacial environment favors biofilm stabilization and sustains in situ oxygen production and cathodic electron-acceptor supply. Consequently, the composite cathode enhanced voltage output and stabilized light-enhanced, assimilative NH4+–N removal under aeration-free operation, while establishing an interpretable link between electrochemical performance and 18S rDNA-derived community assembly features, thereby providing a low-cost cathode design basis for nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment.

Copper (II) ion (Cu 2+ ) is a typical heavy metal ion that not only harms the soil and water environment, but also causes neurological disorders, liver cirrhosis and other diseases. Here, we have successfully synthesized three-dimensional CdS/rGO@Au heterojunction using a simple physical mixing technique, characterized the material synthesis by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and finally used it for selective photoelectrochemical detection of Cu 2+ . In this system, the synergistic interaction of the three creates a channel that is ideal for charge carrier separation and transfer. The cauliflower-shaped CdS possesses a large surface area and acts as a Cu 2+ probe. rGO@Au acts as a sensitizer and amplifies the current change. The photocurrent of the CdS/rGO@Au heterojunction is 7 times higher than that of CdS, indicating that CdS/rGO@Au has a good photoresponse intensity. Under the optimized detection conditions, the proposed photoelectrochemical sensor was able to detect Cu 2+ concentration in the range of 5 nM to 4 μM with a very low limit of detection (LOD) of 2.88 nM. Moreover, the application feasibility of the developed CdS/rGO@Au heterojunction sensor was verified by the detection of Cu 2+ in real water samples.

A novel electrochemical immunosensor was developed for ultrasensitive determination of the hormone insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) based on immobilization of a specific monoclonal antibody on the electrospun nanofibers of Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/Zein-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanoparticle . The nanofibers deposited on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) showed good electrochemical behaviors with synergistic effects between PAN, Zein, and rGO. PAN/Zein nanofibers were used due to flexibility, high porosity, good mechanical strength, high specific surface area, and flexible structures, while rGO nanoparticles were used to improve the detection sensitivity and anti-IGF-1 immobilizing. Different characterization techniques were applied consisting of FE-SEM, FT-IR, and EDS for the investigation of morphological features and nanofiber size. The redox reactions of [Fe(CN) 6 ] 4−/3− on the modified electrode surface were probed for studying the immobilization and determination processes, using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Under optimal conditions, LOD (limit of detection) and LOQ (limit of quantification) were obtained as 55.72 fg/mL and 185.73 fg/mL respectively, and sensitivity was acquired 136.29 μA/cm 2 .dec. Moreover, a wide linear range was obtained ranging from 1 pg/mL to 10 ng/mL for IGF-1. Furthermore, the proposed method was applied for the analysis of IGF-1 in several human plasma samples with acceptable results, and it also exhibited high selectivity, stability, and reproducibility.
