In this paper, a temperature-controlled “On-Off” electrochemical sensor for the detection of hydroquinone (HQ) is constructed by using a composite film of temperature-sensitive polymer poly (N-vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL), the nanomaterial rGO@Au and the monoclinic bismuth metavanadate (m-BiVO 4 ). The sensor exhibits good temperature sensitivity and reversibility. When the temperature drops below the Lowest Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) of the PNVCL, the PNVCL will be in a “stretched” state, which hinders the electron exchange between hydroquinone and the surface of the electrode, presenting an “Off” state for the sensor. On the contrary, when the temperature exceeds the LCST, the PNVCL will be in a “contracted” state, which hydroquinone can perform an effective redox process and generate a response current, showing an “On” status. Due to the good electroconductivity and electrocatalytic ability of rGO@Au and m-BiVO 4 , the proposed sensor showed excellent detection performances. Hence, the sensor shows wide linear ranges (2.0 to 30.0 μM and 30.0 to 152.0 μM) and low limit of detection (0.6 μM). In addition, the “On-Off” electrochemical sensor may provide new ideas for the application of intelligent polymers.

A new type of immunosensor was prepared by using a gold nanoparticles/aminozeolitic imidazolate framework-67 nanocomposite (AuNPs/ZIF-67) as the sensing matrix and luminol as the signaling probe to detect the heart failure biomarker N -terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). The hybrid nanocomposite was deposited on the surface of indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass via the linkage of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS); thereafter, the NT-proBNP antibody was immobilized to endow biological specificity, and bovine serum albumin was used to block residual active sites. The resultant sensor has an excellent response when NT-proBNP was attached to the antibody via immunoreaction; here, the output signal was reduced because of the depressed mass transportation of the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) probe and electron transference. The resultant ECL immunosensor displayed a broad linear range from 10 pg/mL to 50 ng/mL, and the low detection limit was 0.74 pg/mL. The ECL immunosensor also has good specificity, stability and reproducibility and can be used to detect NT-proBNP in real blood samples.

A colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent dual-mode assay is constructed for sensitive and specific Hg 2+ sensing based on UiO-66-NH 2 and Au composite (UiO-66-NH 2 @Au). The addition of Hg 2+ stimulates the peroxidase-like activity of UiO-66-NH 2 @Au by the formation of Au-Hg amalgam, promoting the oxidizing of chromogenic substrate OPD to DAP with the aid of H 2 O 2 , which lead to the change of colorimetric and fluorescent signals. The absorbance of the sensing system at 450 nm is linear positive correlation with Hg 2+ concentration of 30–1400 nM and the color of the solution under visible light shaded from light yellow to dark yellow. With the increase of Hg 2+ concentration, the fluorescence signal at 570 nm (DAP) increased whereas that at 455 nm (intrinsic fluorescence of UiO-66-NH 2 ) decreased due to inner filter effect (IFE), the fluorescence intensity ratio (F 455 /F 570 ) decreasing linearly with Log [Hg 2+ ] over the range 60–1700 nM; the fluorescence emission of sensing system under UV excitation changed from blue to yellow, which can easily be discerned visually. This assay was successfully applied to the determination of Hg 2+ in tap water and river water. The results indicate that the colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent dual-mode assay based on UiO-66-NH 2 @Au realized visual determination of Hg 2+ rapidly and reliably, revealed application prospect in Hg 2+ monitoring.

Here, we developed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor based on functionalized Au@Ag core–shell nanorods (Au@Ag NRs) and cascade DNAzyme amplifier (CSA) for sensitive and accurate determination of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21). The as-prepared SERS nanoprobes were composed of a thiol-modification hairpin probe (HP2)–functionalized Au@Ag NRs and hairpin DNAzyme (HP1-Dz). Compared with original gold nanorods, the silver shell caused an enhancement of plasmonic properties, resulting in a significant enhancement of Raman signals. In the presence of target miRNAs, the hairpin construction of HP1-Dz changed due to DNA/RNA hybridization; subsequently, the DNAzyme-catalyzed cleaving process changed, and the Raman signals of the SERS nanoprobes gradually “turned off” with time elapse because of the dissociation of the Raman reporter from the surface of Au@Ag NRs. Hence, based on this principle, the proposed SERS sensor exhibited good linearity in the range 0.5 fM to 10 nM for miRNA-21 detection with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.5 fM. The proposed SERS platform has potential application in quantitative and precise detection of miRNA-21 in human serum. Graphical abstract

Metallic Pd is widely recognized as an efficient electrocatalyst for the formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR), which unfortunately suffers from poor durability owing to Pd dissolution and CO poisoning. The present work describes an effective method to enhance Pd durability by alloying with Cu and Au. Cu could provide surface OH at low potentials to remove poisonous CO for improved CO resistance. Au, the most inert metal, was added to reduce Pd and Cu dissolution. Moreover, alloying with Cu and Au could also modulate the electronic structure of Pd which is just profitable for the FAOR. The constructed PdCuAu with a nanoporous structure exhibits a specific activity of 14.9 mA cm–2 and a Pd mass activity of 6012 A g–1, which is ∼15 times and ∼14 times higher than those of commercial Pd/C. While these two electrocatalysts were used as fuel cell anodes, the maximum power density of the PdCuAu anode (Pd loading 10 μg cm–2) is 93.2 mW cm–2 and the value of the Pd/C anode (Pd loading 1.2 mg cm–2) is 60.3 mW cm–2. The power efficiency of Pd has been notably increased by 185 times in this home-made nanoporous PdCuAu ternary alloy electrocatalyst.

Highly dispersed Au nanoparticles supported on Ni–Al mixed metal oxides (Au/NiAl-MMO) were prepared by a facile method, which is significantly efficient for the aerobic oxidation of ethyl lactate using authentic air as the oxidant, achieving 72.6% ethyl lactate conversion and 88.3% selectivity to ethyl pyruvate at 240 °C in a continuous fixed-bed reactor. The catalyst retained its catalytic performance during a long-term stability test. Characterization and experimental studies on the kinetic dependence sequence of the reactants and elementary reaction steps confirmed that the Au/NiAl-MMO catalyst followed the Mars–van Krevelen mechanism, with the activation of O 2 as the elementary step. The quasi in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra demonstrated that the active sites in the Au/NiAl-MMO catalyst were Au nanoparticles. This work may provide a novel technique for developing more efficient supported metal catalysts for the aerobic oxidation of ethyl lactate using authentic air as the oxidant. Graphical abstract Highly dispersed Au nanoparticle catalyst was facilely prepared for the efficient catalytic oxidation of ethyl lactate with authentic air.

Photodynamic therapy is a promising alternative to antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infection, which has the advantages of less side effects, no drug resistance and accurate treatment. However, most photosensitizers (PSs) have some disadvantages, such as poor water solubility, serious self-quenching, poor stability and so on. Therefore, solving the limitations of traditional photosensitizers has become a hot issue in photodynamic therapy. On this basis, the lysozyme (Lys)-gold nanocluster (AuNCs)-curcumin (Cur) conjugate was used as a new type of water-soluble photosensitizer and combined with the bacterial surface through electrostatic interaction to form a bacterial surface enriched in PSs. At the same time, real-time bacterial imaging can be achieved by using the fluorescence properties of Lys-AuNCs-Cur. Under 405 nm light and dark conditions, the inactivation effect of Lys-AuNCs-Cur on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was higher than that of free Cur. Moreover, Lys-AuNCs-Cur can also produce enough ROS to kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus . The excellent antibacterial properties of nanoparticles may be attributed to the synergism of antibacterial protein lysozyme and AuNCs-Cur nanocomplexes and the increase of 1 O 2 production. The results of scanning electron microscope and fluorescence microscopic imaging showed that the cell membrane of E. coli and S. aureus was seriously damaged, and facilitated penetration of Lys-AuNCs-Cur nanocomplexes into the bacteria through the damaged cell membrane, and improve the photoinactivation efficiency of bacteria. More importantly, nanoparticles exhibited almost negligible dark cytotoxicity. The coupling of Cur and gold nanoclusters can significantly improve the stability of free curcumin molecules and the ability to generate ROS. Therefore, this work is of great significance for the development of new antimicrobial agents against bacterial infection.

Photocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is an environmental friendly way to convert platform molecules into high-value chemicals. Here, Au/ZnO catalysts with different oxygen vacancies were fabricated by the deposition precipitation method and were used for the photocatalytic oxidation of HMF to FDCA under visible light irradiation. All of the Au/ZnO catalysts showed excellent photocatalytic oxidation selectivity to FDCA greater than 90% under mild conditions. The Au/ZnODP-H catalyst treated by H2 afforded the highest HMF conversion and the selectivities of FDCA up to 96.9%. The localized surface plasmon resonance effect of Au nanoparticles, oxygen vacancy, and the existence of the Schottky barrier enhance the separation and transfer efficiency of photogenerated electron–hole pairs of the catalyst, so as to enhance its photocatalytic activity. The active species trapping experiment and electron spin resonance analysis showed that •O2– and h+ were the active species responsible for the oxidation reaction. The recycle experiment also proved that the catalyst has good stability. This work provides a new strategy for the design of photocatalysts for converting biomass into high-value chemicals.

Deoxygenative upgrading of 5-hydromethylfurfural (HMF) into valuable chemicals has attracted intensive research interest in recent years, with product selectivity control remaining an important topic. Herein, TiO 2 supported gold catalysts coated with a thin N-doped porous carbon (NPC) layer were developed via a polydopamine-coating-carbonization strategy and utilized for pathway-specific conversion of HMF into 5-methylfurfural (5-MF) with the use of renewable formic acid (FA) as the deoxygenation reagent. The as-fabricated Au/TiO 2 @NPC exhibited excellent catalytic performance with a high yield of 5-MF (>95%). The catalytic behavior of Au@NPC-based catalysts was shown to be correlated with the suitable combination of highly dispersed Au nanoparticles and favorable interfacial interactions in the Au@NPC core-shell hetero-nanoarchitectures, thereby facilitating the preferential esterification of HMF with FA and suppressing unproductive FA dehydrogenation , which promoted the selective formylation/decarboxylation of hydroxy-methyl group in HMF in a pathway-specific manner. The present NPC/metal interfacial engineering strategy may provide a potential guide for the rational design of advanced catalysts for a wide variety of heterogeneous catalysis processes in terms of the conversion of biomass source.

Gold recovery from thiosulfate leaching solution Au(S2O3)23– is regarded as a tough task because of the low efficiency and complex procedure in current technology, which hindered the industrial application of this eco-friendly technique. In this work, a MoS2@activated alumina bead composite (MoS2@AA) was constructed through a simple hydrothermal anchoring method and served as a catalyst to recover gold from Au(S2O3)23– solution for the first time. The microstructure and chemical component of MoS2@AA were systematically analyzed. In addition, batch experiments were carried out to explore the recovery behavior of Au(S2O3)23– (concentration: 10 to 200 ppm). Ascribing to the extraordinary optical property of MoS2@AA, Au(S2O3)23– could be directly reduced to Au0 by photogenerated electrons and then form a two-phase interface of gold/MoS2@AA. As a result, the recovery of Au(S2O3)23– can reach up to 98% on MoS2@AA, which was much higher than traditional methods. More importantly, the reduced Au0 could be desorbed from MoS2@AA through a supersonic method, achieving one-step Au0 recovery from Au(S2O3)23–. This novel strategy used in this research has great significance to the development of Au(S2O3)23– recovery in the future.

Downsizing supported metal of Fe 0 -based materials in dealing with ever-growing pharmaceutical contamination issues are highly desired but still challenging. Herein, we develop a modular design protocol to synthesize a family of ultrafine alloy nanoclusters embedded in a nitrogen-enriched carbon framework (NEC@FeM (M=Pd, Pt, Au)). Engineering the fine structure of nitrogen-enriched carbon and interfacial interaction with bimetallic nanoclusters largely suppresses bimetallic overgrowth, eventually producing supported ultrafine (< 4 nm), highly dispersed, well-alloyed nanoclusters. The alloying Fe 0 with M for ultrafine nanoclusters optimize the electron flow, chemical stability, and catalytic property, resulting in the obtained NEC@FeM exhibiting excellent doxorubicin (DOX) degradation performance. Density functional theory calculation combined with experimental results attribute the outstanding DOX degradation ability of NEC@FePd originally to the synergistic effect of enhanced DOX affinity and efficient electrons transfer from Fe to DOX. This work provides a paradigm for the design of ultrafine Fe 0 -based nanocluster with application in pollution control.
