Tactile sensors are an important area in developing electronic skins and human–machine interfacing. Herein, we reported an eco-friendly cellulose paper based tactile sensor driven by a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). Enabled by the surface modification of polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) and polypyrrole (PPy), the triboelectric negative performance and conductivity of cellulose paper were improved; therefore, the modified cellulose paper could be applied to the triboelectric negative material and electrode for TENG. At the contact and separation mode (CS mode), the short-circuit current (ISC), open-circuit voltage (VOC), and power density of the corresponding device were improved to 0.52 μA, 11.6 V, and 736.9 μW/m2. In addition, a single-electrode TENG based on this modified cellulose paper was also obtained by pairing it with human skin. The results indicated that this single-electrode TENG could generate a voltage of 23.8 V, current of 1.1 μA, and surface charge of 4.3 nC. Meanwhile, a tactile sensor for written stroke recognition based on the single-electrode TENG was also demonstrated.

Sensitive detection of copper ion (Cu 2+ ), which is of great importance for environmental pollution and human health, is crucial. In this study, we present a highly sensitive method for measuring Cu 2+ in an array of femtoliter wells. In brief, magnetic beads (MBs) modified with alkyne groups were bound to the azide groups of biotin-PEG3-azide (bio-PEG-N 3 ) via Cu + -catalyzed click chemistry. Cu + in the click chemistry reaction was generated by reducing Cu 2+ with sodium ascorbate. Following the ligation, the surface of the MBs was modified with biotin, which could be labeled with streptavidin-β-galactosidase (SβG). The MBs complex was then suspended in β-galactosidase substrate fluorescein-di-β- d -galactopyranoside (FDG), and loaded into the array of femtoliter wells. The MBs sank into the wells due to gravity, and the resulting fluorescent product, generated from the reaction between SβG on the surface of the MBs and FDG, was confined within the wells. The number of fluorescent wells increased with higher Cu 2+ concentrations. The bright-field and fluorescent images of the wells were acquired using an inverted fluorescent microscope. The detection limit of this assay for Cu 2+ was 1 nM without signal amplification, which was 10 3 times lower than that of traditional fluorescence detection assays.

The Zn electrode in the alkaline Zn-MnO 2 batteries is suffered from the self-corrosion and hydrogen evolution, which deteriorates their discharge performance and storage life. To address these issues, this work proposes a low-cost and effective phosphate ester-containing organic additive, coconut oil alkyl alcohol amide phosphate ester (DG6503), for the alkaline electrolyte of the Zn-MnO 2 batteries. The phosphate ester groups in DG6503 can form a complex precipitate coating on the surface of Zn, and efficiently decrease H 2 evolution rate of the Zn electrode by over 90 %. DG6503 also can suppress the formation of nanoneedle ZnO products during the discharge of Zn-MnO 2 batteries. Therefore, the discharge capacities of the alkaline Zn-MnO 2 batteries can be greatly improved under the various discharge conditions before and after long-term storage. Our work provides a promising method for improving the discharge property and storage life of the alkaline Zn-MnO 2 batteries.

Hydrogen (H2) is considered to be the best carbon-free energy carrier that can replace fossil fuels because of its high energy density and the advantages of not producing greenhouse gases and air pollutants. As a green and sustainable method for hydrogen production, the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has received widespread attention. Currently, it is a great challenge to prepare economically stable electrocatalysts for the HER using non-precious metals. In this study, a Co/Co3O4/Ti3C2Txcatalyst was synthesized by supporting Co/Co3O4with Ti3C2Tx. The results show that Co/Co3O4/Ti3C2Txhas excellent HER activity and durability in 1 mol L−1KOH, and the overpotential and Tafel slope at 10 mA·cm−2were 87 mV and 61.90 mV dec−1, respectively. The excellent HER activity and stability of Co/Co3O4/Ti3C2Txcan be explained as follows: Ti3C2Txprovides a stable skeleton and a large number of attachment sites for Co/Co3O4, thus exposing more active sites; the unique two-dimensional structure of Ti3C2Txprovides an efficient conductive network for rapid electron transfer between the electrolyte and the catalyst during electrocatalysis; Co3O4makes the Co/Co3O4/Ti3C2Txcatalyst more hydrophilic, which can accelerate the release rate of bubbles; Co/Co3O4can accelerate the adsorption and deionization of H2O to synthesize H2. This study provides a new approach for the design and preparation of low-cost and high-performance HER catalysts.

Cellulose nanofibers (NF) were extracted from kapok fibers using TEMPO oxidation, followed by a combination of mechanical grinding and ultrasonic processing. The TEMPO-mediated oxidation significantly impacted the mechanical disintegration behavior of the kapok fibers, resulting in a high NF yield of 98%. This strategy not only improved the fibrillation efficiency but also reduced overall energy consumption during NF preparation. An ultralight and highly porous NF-based aerogel was successfully prepared using a simple ice-templating technique. It had a low density in the range of 3.5–11.2 mg cm−3, high compressional strength (160 kPa), and excellent thermal insulation performance (0.024 W m−1K−1). After silane modification, the aerogel displayed an ultralow density of 7.9 mg cm−3, good hydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 128°, and excellent mechanical compressibility with a high recovery of 92% at 50% strain. Benefiting from the silene support structure, it showed a high oil absorptive capacity (up to 71.4 g/g for vacuum pump oil) and a remarkable oil recovery efficiency of 93% after being reused for 10 cycles. These results demonstrate that our strategy endows nanocellulose-based aerogels with rapid shape recovery and high liquid absorption capabilities.

Electrochemical biosensors are frequently employed to identify harmful microbes and disease indicators. However, their practical applicability is constrained by poor signal amplification efficiency and immobilization processes on the probe surface. To get over these restrictions, we here integrated roll-cycling amplification (RCA) and CRISPR/Cas12a gene editing tools with electrochemical biosensors. We constructed an electrochemical biosensor based on RCA to activate the cleavage activity of Cas12a. First, by double-stranded nucleic acid aptamer (ds Apt) specifically binding to E. coli-2571, Apt-b was competitively isolated to bind to T4 ligase and produce circular DNA. This in turn activates RCA, which in turn activates the accessory cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas12a, which in turn cleaves DNA sequences loaded onto the electrode, changing electrochemical signals. With a linear range of 1 × 102–1 × 107 CFU mL−1, a detection limit of 5.28 CFU mL−1, and experimental recoveries of 93.01–101.53%, the measured electrochemical signals were positively connected with the concentration of E. coli-2571 under the optimal experimental conditions. Therefore, by combining two approaches—RCA and CRISPR/Cas12a—our electrochemical biosensor was able to detect E. coli-2571 specifically and sensitively, providing new research opportunities for the detection of other harmful bacteria.

In this work, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for T-2 toxin detection has been designed by combining the high specificity of a DNA hydrogel system with the convenience and sensitivity of homogeneous ECL detection. Specifically, A hydrogel was engineered through the reaction between the carboxyl group of hyaluronic acid (HA) and the amino groups of both polyethyleneimine (PEI) and DNA-modified strands, resulting in a three-dimensional network that encapsulates glucose oxidase. Glucose oxidase (GOD) is capable of catalyzing the conversion of glucose into hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), which is a co-reactant necessary for the chemiluminescent reagent luminol to emit light. Upon the presence of the target analyte T-2 toxin, the aptamer recognizes and binds to it, leading to the dissociation and cleavage of the hydrogel framework. This process results in the leakage of the encapsulated GOD into the supernatant. Subsequently, Adding the collected supernatant to a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution containing glucose and luminol for ECL testing yields a noticeable signal change. This sensor eliminates the need for electrode modification, simplifying the operation. Within a concentration range of 10 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL, the ECL signal intensity exhibits an excellent linear relationship with the logarithm of the target concentration, with a detection limit as low as 0.32 fg/mL. The method also demonstrates excellent reproducibility and stability. The sensor demonstrated precise detection capabilities in actual milk and beer samples, a crucial aspect for research focused on specific targets.

Since exogenous plant hormones are often employed in agriculture, it is necessary to build a sensitive electrochemical sensor to monitor their residues. This paper describes a flower-like tin disulfide (SnS 2 ) flakes using a hydrothermal method, was loaded onto a carbonized eggshell membrane (CESM). The SnS 2 /CESM composite was subsequently drop-coated onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), resulting in the successful construction of an electrochemical sensor (SnS 2 /CESM/GCE) for the detection of maleic hydrazide (MH). The designed sensor demonstrates a wide linear range of 0.1 ∼ 25 µM and 25200 µM, and a low detection limit of 0.0386 µM. Mechanistic studies indicates the electrochemical reaction of MH on SnS 2 /CESM/GCE is controlled by adsorption, which two protons and two electrons are participated in the electrochemical oxidation process. The proposed sensor demonstrated good repeatability and reproducibility, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 3.83 % and 2.39 %, respectively. Common interferences had no effect on the detection of MH, with an RSD of 3.16 %. The spiking recovery approach yielded recoveries of MH in tobacco ranging from 94.60 % to 107.60 %. This suggests that the SnS 2 /CESM/GCE sensor has a promising future in agriculture for the quick detection of exogenous phytohormones.

In response to the critical challenges of interfacial impedance and volumetric changes in Li (1+x) Al x Ti (2‑x) (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP)-based lithium metal batteries, an elastomeric lithium-conducting interlayer fabricates from fluorinated hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (F-HNBR) matrix is introduced herein. Owing to the vulcanization, vapor-phase fluorination, and plasticization processes, the lithium-conducting interlayer exhibits a high elasticity of 423%, exceptional fatigue resistance (10 000 compression cycles), superior ionic conductivity of 6.3 × 10 −4 S cm −1 , and favorable lithiophilicity, rendering it an ideal buffer layer. By integrating the F-HNBR interlayer, the LATP-based lithium symmetric cells demonstrate an extended cycle life of up to 1600 h at 0.1 mA cm −2 and can also endure deep charge/discharge cycles (0.5 mAh cm −2 ) for the same duration. Furthermore, the corresponding lithium metal full cells achieve 500 cycles at 0.5 C with 98.3% capacity retention and enable a high-mass-loading cathode of 11.1 mg cm −2 to operate at room temperature.

Polymeric elastomers are widely utilized in implantable biomedical devices. Nevertheless, the implantation of these elastomers can provoke a robust foreign body response (FBR), leading to the rejection of foreign implants and consequently reducing their effectiveness in vivo. Building effective anti-FBR coatings on those implants remains challenging. Herein, we introduce a coating-free elastomer with superior immunocompatibility. A super-hydrophilic anti-fouling zwitterionic layer can be generated in situ on the surface of the elastomer through a simple chemical trigger. This elastomer can repel the adsorption of proteins, as well as the adhesion of cells, platelets, and diverse microbes. The elastomer elicited negligible inflammatory responses after subcutaneous implantation in rodents for 2 weeks. No apparent fibrotic capsule formation was observed surrounding the elastomer after 6 months in rodents. Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) catheters constructed from the elastomer demonstrated prolonged longevity and performance compared to commercial catheters, indicating its great potential for enhancing and extending the performance of various implantable biomedical devices by effectively attenuating local immune responses. Statement of significance The foreign body response remains a significant challenge for implants. Complicated coating procedures are usually needed to construct anti-fibrotic coatings on implantable elastomers. Herein, a coating-free elastomer with superior immunocompatibility was achieved using a zwitterionic monomer derivative. A pure zwitterionic layer can be generated on the elastomer surface through a simple chemical trigger. This elastomer significantly reduces protein adsorption, cell and bacterial adhesion, and platelet activation, leading to minimal fibrotic capsule formation even after six months of subcutaneous implantation in rodents. CSII catheters constructed from the PQCBE-H elastomer demonstrated prolonged longevity and performance compared to commercial catheters, highlighting the significant potential of PQCBE-H elastomers for enhancing and extending the performance of various implantable biomedical devices.

Emodin (ED), as a traditional Chinese medicine, possesses a variety of biological activities and is also one of natural sonosensitizer. Whether emodin could react with titanium dioxide to enhance the sonodynamic activity for safely treating osteomyelitis remains to be explored. Hence, an ED-conjugated Mn-doped titanium dioxide (TOM) nanorod array is designed and prepared on titanium to eliminate bacterial infections under ultrasound (US) treatment. The doping of Mn and the formation of an inorganic–organic interfacial between ED and TOM cause an imbalance in the interfacial charge and reduce the band gap of TOM, thereby increasing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under US. The generated ROS effectively destroys the bacterial cell membrane, accelerating Mn ions intake and thereby inducing ferroptosis-like death of MRSA. Moreover, the hybrid coating activates cAMP and cGMP-PKG pathways to modulate M1 polarization of macrophages to display potent phagocytosis to bacteria. After eliminating the bacterial infection, the coating also can facilitate macrophage M2 polarization to promote osteogenic differentiation. Overall, the Chinese medicine enhanced sonodynamic and immunotherapy have great promise in treating bacterial-infected osteomyelitis.
