The development of highly efficient nanozymes faces challenges of insufficient catalytic activity and low atom utilization. Atomically dispersed metal nanozymes have received widespread attention due to their high atomic utilization efficiency and exceptional catalytic activity. Bimetallic catalysts demonstrated enhanced catalytic performance owing to synergistic geometric and electronic effects arising from heterometallic interactions. Herein, we report an atomically dispersed palladium-iron bimetallic cluster nanozyme, in which fully exposed Pd clusters bonded to adjacent Fe atomic clusters are anchored onto defect-rich nanodiamond-graphene supports (PdFe/ND@G). The Pd-Fe interfacial sites fabricated in atomically dispersed bimetallic clusters deliver abundant oxygen activation sites for high-efficiency catalytic reactions and exhibit enhanced oxidase-like catalytic activity, demonstrating superior enzymatic activity and antibacterial performance compared to monometallic Pd and Fe clusters, while surpassing those of previously reported nanozymes. DFT calculations reveal that, compared to monometallic Pd clusters, atomically dispersed Pd-Fe clusters synergistically catalyze O 2 cleavage into OO* intermediates via Pd-Fe interfacial sites while exhibiting lower energy barriers, which is the critical factor for their enhanced enzyme-like activity. This study provides novel insights into constructing highly efficient atomically dispersed bimetallic cluster nanozymes.

Li–O 2 cell is considered as an ideal choice for the electric vehicles due to its high energy density , but is now suffering from the large charge polarization and low practical capacity. In this context, three-dimensional network macro-porous CoO synthesized via a sol–gel method is applied as an efficient catalyst in Li–O 2 cells to alleviate this situation. Compared to KB (Ketjen black EC600JD) based cells, the CoO/KB based cell exhibits much improved electrochemical performance at various current densities, including flatter discharge/charge plateau, lower polarization and higher specific capacity. In addition, the CoO/KB based cell maintains the discharge capacity up to 4500 mAh g −1 CoO/KB after being cycled at 0.1 mA cm −2 for 16 days under O 2 atmosphere. This excellent electrochemical performance is attributed to the high catalytic activity and abundant macro-pores of our home-made CoO. This strategy of designing CoO might be a feasible way to obtain the Li–O 2 cell with low polarization and high capacity.

Photodynamic therapy using an appropriate photocatalyst results in the production of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species for tumor ablation. However, the inherent O 2 dependence of conventional photodynamic therapy limits its clinical translation. To overcome this challenge, here we developed a selenium-substituted Nile blue derivative (ENBSe) as a versatile O 2 -independent photocatalyst. Under near-infrared light irradiation, ENBSe can drive the biological oxidation of NADH to NAD + while simultaneously triggering the cascade reduction of cytochrome c (Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺), even in the absence of O 2 . To improve tumor specificity and targeting, we further developed a conditionally activatable photoredox catalysis (ConAPC) system. ENBSe is covalently attached to 4-nitrobenzyl chloride via a carbonic anhydride bond, wherein the nitro group can be specifically cleaved by nitroreductase (NTR), an enzyme overexpressed in hypoxic tissues. Such ConAPC design prevents reaction with NADH and quenches the fluorescences of ENBSe, which means that the drug molecule, ENBSe–NTR, is catalytically inactive. ENBSe–NTR is, to our knowledge, the first tumor microenvironment-responsive ConAPC molecule that enables O 2 -free, tumor-specific catalytic therapy. By replacing the 4-nitrobenzyl chloride group, it might be possible to target cells with different microenvironmental conditions. This protocol presents a standardized workflow encompassing the synthesis of ENBSe and its application for photocatalytic modulation of cellular electron flow in the mitochondrial electron transport chain via an O 2 -independent mechanism of action. The outlined protocol specifies a synthesis period of ~4 d for ENBSe, ~4 h for photoredox spectroscopic characterization and 4–5 weeks for photodiagnostic assessment in cancer cell and mice models.

Nickel-rich layered oxides (LiNixCoyMn1−x−yO2) (x ≥ 0.8, NCM) are intensively developed cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries owing to their high energy and low price, however, their application is impeded by poor cycle stability. Herein we explored a Ti and F co-doped Li(Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1)O2 cathode through a solid phase reaction using the precursors of TiO2 and NH4F. Combining the characterization results of XRD, Ar sputtering assisted XPS, HRTEM, in situ XRD, etc, it is illustrated that Ti4+ and F− co-modification can synergistically modulate the lattice parameter and the Ni2+/Li+ mixing degree for the Li(Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1)O2 cathode material. Particularly, density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that Ti and F co-doping is beneficial to form stable crystal structures with a layered phase and rock-salt phase. Ti4+ and F− co-dopants induce the formation of an ultra-thin rock-salt phase on the cathode surface, which provides a protective layer on the nickel-rich cathode surface, so as to enhance the electrochemical performance. The optimal Ti4+ and F− co-doped sample 0.5Ti@0.5F-NCM shows a superior discharge capacity of 202.2 mA h g−1 at 1C and 45 °C, and a capacity retention of 88.1% after 200 cycles, much higher than the retention of 45.2% for NCM. For 0.5Ti@0.5F-NCM, the lithium-ion diffusion coefficients after the 1st and 100th cycles are 2.67 × 10−11 cm2 s−1 and 7.14 × 10−12 cm2 s−1 respectively, larger than those of the pristine NCM (1.37 × 10−11 cm2 s−1 and 4.52 × 10−12 cm2 s−1). The Ti4+ and F− co-doping can suppress the H2–H3 phase change of the cathode during the charge and discharge process and reduce the charge transfer resistance. The results provide a simple and feasible design strategy via cation@anion dopants to boost the electrochemical performance of nickel-rich cathodes for lithium-ion batteries.

Non-aqueous rechargeable Li–O2 batteries have attracted great attention owing to their ultra-high specific energy densities. However, the high charge overpotential and the interfacial instability of lithium anodes still need to be overcome before the practical application of Li–O2 batteries. Here, we use KI as a bifunctional electrolyte additive for Li–O2 batteries. The results demonstrate that I− could act as a redox mediator to effectively reduce the charge overpotential by 0.7 V. On the other hand, the introduction of K+ contributes to decreasing the polarization, optimizing the morphology, reducing the surface by-products of the lithium anode and dramatically improving the uniform distribution of discharge products on the cathode surface. The dual functions of KI additive thus successfully boost the electrochemical performances of Li–O2 batteries.

The Li–O2 battery based on the polymer electrolyte has been considered as the feasible solution to the safety issue derived from the liquid electrolyte. However, the practical application of the polymer electrolyte-based Li–O2 battery is impeded by the poor cyclability and unsatisfactory energy efficiency caused by the structure of the porous cathode. Herein, an architecture of a composite cathode with improved oxidation kinetics of discharge products was designed by an in situ method through the polymerization of the electrolyte precursor for the polymer-based Li–O2 battery. The composite cathode can provide sufficient gas diffusion channels, abundant reaction active sites, and continuous pathways for ion diffusion and electron transport. Furthermore, the oxidation kinetics of nanosized discharge products formed in the composite cathode can be improved by hexamethylphosphoramide during the recharge process. The polymer-based Li–O2 batteries with the composite cathode demonstrate highly reversible capacity when fully charged and a long cycle lifetime under a fixed capacity with low overpotentials. Moreover, the interface contact between hexamethylphosphoramide and the Li metal can be stabilized simultaneously. Therefore, the composite cathode architecture designed in this work shows a promising application in high-performance polymer-based Li–O2 batteries.

Porous carbon materials are usually employed as cathode catalysts in Li-O 2 batteries. However, the poor catalytic performance of carbon cathode often results in low capacity and severe overpotential. Herein, we successfully prepared phosphorus doped carbon material by one-step pyrolyzation, effectively improving the performance of Li-O 2 batteries. The discharge capacity of Li-O 2 battery with P doped carbon reaches 3400 m Ah g −1 at 200 mA g −1 , which is increased by 52% compared to the un-doped sample. Besides, greatly decreased discharge overpotential and enhanced rate capability are also obtained after phosphorus doping. Furtherly, phosphorus doping was found to crucially affect the growth of discharge products, and the solution driven mechanism becomes more prominent, leading to larger sized discharge products and prolonged battery life. Our work provides a new way of improving the catalytic performance of carbon cathode for Li-O 2 batteries.

Au nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) co-modified TiO 2 nanotube arrays (TNTs) were prepared by a facile and green strategy based on the electro-deposition technology for detecting H 2 O 2 , O 2 and nitrite. As-prepared Au/r-GO/TNTs electrode was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results clearly demonstrate that the successful attachment of r-GO sheets and narrow-range distribution of Au nanoparticles on TNTs . The reduced grapheme oxide sheet can help to improve the electronic conductive performance of TNTs and prevent the agglomeration of Au nanoparticles. Electrochemical studies reveal that the Au/r-GO/TNTs electrode exhibit excellent electrocatalytic performance toward the reduction of H 2 O 2 . Under the optimal experimental condition, the sensor has a quick response to H 2 O 2 at −0.3 V with a high sensitivity (1011.35 mA M −1 cm −2 ), wide linear range (0.01–22.3 mM) and low detection limit (0.006 μM). In addition, the sensor also has good stability and excellent selectivity. Moreover, the established Au/r-GO/TNTs electrode also shows high sensitivities towards dissolved O 2 and nitrite ions, which has great potential for the development of electrochemical sensors, molecular bioelectronics devices and biosensors.

Li-rich Mn-based cathode materials are regarded as promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their high electrochemical capacity and low cost. However, residual Li compounds on the surface and dissolution of metal ions cause severe degradation of the electrochemical performance, thereby hindering their practical applications. Li 4 V 2 Mn(PO 4 ) 4 is a composite cathode material with three-dimensional Li-ion diffusion channels and a stable structure at high operating voltages (>4.5 V). Herein, we modify the surface of Li[Li 0.2 Mn 0.54 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 ]O 2 with Li 4 V 2 Mn(PO 4 ) 4 . The Li 4 V 2 Mn(PO 4 ) 4 coating layer can not only reduce the content of residual Li compounds on the surface but also restrain the dissolution of transition metals. Theoretical calculations illustrate that Li 4 V 2 Mn(PO 4 ) 4 reduces the Li-ion diffusion energy barrier and provides efficient diffusion pathways. Li[Li 0.2 Mn 0.54 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 ]O 2 @Li 4 V 2 Mn(PO 4 ) 4 compounds deliver a discharge capacity of 300 mAh g −1 with a high initial coulombic efficiency (84.2%) and an excellent cycling stability (capacity retention of 78.1% after 200 cycles at 1C). Hence, the proposed modification strategy of phosphate-based materials could shed light on the structural design of surface-sensitive electrode materials for LIBs.

Conventional oxygen-dependent photodynamic therapy (PDT) has faced severe challenges because of the non-specificity of most available photosensitizers (PSs) and the hypoxic nature of tumor tissues. Here, an O 2 self-sufficient cell-like biomimetic nanoplatform (CAT-PS-ZIF@Mem) consisting of the cancer cell membrane (Mem) and a cytoskeleton-like porous zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) with the embedded catalase (CAT) protein molecules and Al(III) phthalocyanine chloride tetrasulfonic acid (AlPcS 4 , defined as PS) is developed. Because of the immunological response and homologous targeting abilities of the cancer cell membrane, CAT-PS-ZIF@Mem is selectively accumulated at the tumor site and taken up effectively by tumor cells after intravenous injection. After the intracellular H 2 O 2 penetration into the framework, it is catalyzed by CAT to produce O 2 at the hypoxic tumor site, facilitating the generation of toxic 1 O 2 for highly effective PDT in vivo under near-infrared irradiation. By integrating the immune escape, cell homologous recognition, and O 2 self-sufficiency, this cell-like biomimetic nanoplatform demonstrates highly specific and efficient PDT against hypoxic tumor cells with much reduced side-effect on normal tissues.

Gradient Mn-La-Pt catalysts with three-layered structure of manganese dioxide (MnO 2 ), lanthanum oxide (La 2 O 3 ), and Platinum (Pt) for Li-O 2 battery are prepared in this study. The mass ratio of the catalysts is respectively 5:2:3, 4:2:4, and 3:2:5 (MnO 2 : La 2 O 3 : Pt) which is start from the side of the electrolyte. The relationship between morphology structure and electrochemical performance of gradient catalyst is investigated by energy dispersive spectrometry and constant current charge/discharge test. The Li-O 2 battery based on gradient Mn-La-Pt catalysts shows high discharge specific capacity (2707 mAh g −1 ), specific energy density (8400 Wh kg −1 ) and long cycle life (56 cycles). The improvement of the Li-O 2 battery discharge capacity is attributed to the gradient distribution of MnO 2 and Pt and the involvement of La 2 O 3 that can improve the energy density of the battery. More important, this work will also provide new ideas and methods for the research of other metal-air battery.
