Co@Pt core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) were synthetized by a two-step reductive method using carbon (Vulcan XC-72) as a solid support. The NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission gun scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Their electrochemical performance was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and chronoamperometry, and these showed that the Co@Pt NPs display an electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of glucose that is much better than that of plain Pt NPs. Under optimized conditions and at pH 7.0, the oxidation current of glucose at a working potential of −50 mV (vs. SCE) is linearly related to its concentration in the 1.0 to 30 mM range, and the detection limit is 0.3 mM (S/N = 3). It therefore covers the clinical range. The sensor also exhibits excellent stability and repeatability.

In this study, peroxidase-mimicking core–shell Au@Pt nanoparticles (Au@Pt NPs) were synthesized, and both Hg2+ and Ag+ were found to intensively inhibit the catalytic activity of the Au@Pt NPs. The interactions between the two metal ions and Au@Pt NPs were analyzed through characterization by TEM, DLS, EPR and XPS, etc. Based on the inhibition of both Hg2+ and Ag+ toward the catalytic activity of the Au@Pt NPs and the shielding of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) toward interfering metal ions, a highly sensitive and selective colorimetric assay for Hg2+ and Ag+ was developed. In addition, L-cysteine can be used to mask Hg2+ in the presence of Ag+; therefore, a specific detection of Ag+ ions can be accomplished by this Au@Pt NP-based assay. The limits of detection (LODs) for Hg2+ and Ag+ are 3.5 nM and 2.0 nM, respectively. The linear ranges for detecting Hg2+ and Ag+ are from 10 nM to 200 nM and from 5.0 nM to 100 nM, respectively. Moreover, the colorimetric assay is highly selective toward Hg2+ and Ag+ over other common metal ions. This work demonstrates that the optimization of metal nanoparticle preparation and surface modification play very important roles in developing metal ion sensing based on metal NP enzyme mimics. In addition, the metallic nanozyme based colorimetric method here demonstrates advantages in practical applications as it is low-cost, simple, and highly sensitive and selective, although it needs a two-step reaction.

Kesterite-structure Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) has been proved to be a high-performance Pt-free counter electrode (CE) material for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Herein, a green but powerful two-step method based on solvothermal treatment was proposed to synthesize semi-transparent two-dimensional (2D) leaf-like CZTS plate arrays (PLAr) in situ on a FTO glass substrate, without any post-treatments, such as annealing, toxic sulfurization, or coating with other ancillary materials. The growth mechanism of the 2D leaf-like CZTS PLAr based on solvothermal treatment was illustrated. A power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 7.09% was obtained by utilizing leaf-like CZTS PLAr as the CE. Surprisingly, the PCE increased to 8.67% assisted by a mirror reflection. The excellent performance of DSSCs could be attributed to the high catalytic surface area, fast photo-generated electron transport at the counter electrode/redox electrolyte interface, remarkable electrocatalytic activity for I3− reduction, low charge transfer resistance toward the reduction of I3− ions, and high diffusion coefficient of the I3−. This work provides a green and feasible approach to construct high-quality metal sulfide nanoarrays on arbitrary conductive substrates under mild conditions (i.e. low temperature, no annealing, green, speediness) and promotes the development of Pt-free sulfide materials for sustainable photovoltaic applications.

In order to expand the light response range of wide band-gap semiconductor photocatalyst (NaTaO 3 ) for effective photocatalytic conversion of Cr(VI), an up-conversion luminescence agent (Er 3+ :YAlO 3 ) is combined with NaTaO 3 and a visible-light driven photocatalyst, NaTaO 3 /Er 3+ :YAlO 3 , is prepared. Moreover, several conduction band co-catalysts (Ag, Au and Pt) are deposited the surface of NaTaO 3 /Er 3+ :YAlO 3 , respectively, to facilitate the transfer rate of photo-generated electrons. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses are employed to confirm the morphology, microstructure and composition of the prepared photocatalysts. In addition, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra are determined to explore the visible-light absorption properties of Er 3+ :YAlO 3 , NaTaO 3 , NaTaO 3 /Er 3+ :YAlO 3 and X/NaTaO 3 /Er 3+ :YAlO 3 (X = Ag, Au and Pt). Photoluminescence (PL) spectra are used to estimate the recombination rate of electron–hole pairs. The effects of irradiation time, photosource kind, solution acidity and used times on the photocatalytic capabilities of NaTaO 3 /Er 3+ :YAlO 3 and X/NaTaO 3 /Er 3+ :YAlO 3 (X = Ag, Au and Pt) are investigated in detail. The results show that the uses of up-conversion luminescence agent (Er 3+ :YAlO 3 ) and co-catalysts (Ag, Au and Pt) can promote NaTaO 3 to utilize visible-light to carry out the photocatalytic conversion of Cr(VI). Particularly, the prepared Au/NaTaO 3 /Er 3+ :YAlO 3 nanocomposite with 1.0 wt% Au and 0.3:1.0 molar ratio of Er 3+ :YAlO 3 and NaTaO 3 shows the highest photocatalytic activity in conversion of Cr(VI).

A novel nanocomposite of Co 0.85 Se nanotubes with reduced graphene oxide (Co 0.85 Se/RGO) is prepared by a facile hydrothermal approach coupled with in situ selenization, which is applied as counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cells. Electrochemical analysis shows that the Co 0.85 Se/RGO composite displays a higher electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of triiodide respect to its single components due to the unique hollow structure of Co 0.85 Se as well as the synergistic effects of high catalytically active Co 0.85 Se and conductive RGO. As a consequence, the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) fabricated with the Co 0.85 Se/RGO electrode presents a high photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 7.81%, exceeding the cell based on a Pt electrode (7.55%). Moreover, a considerable electrochemical stability is also achieved when the material was used as a counter electrode in a I − /I 3 − electrolyte. Therefore, the Co 0.85 Se/RGO exhibits a huge potential as efficient and low-cost Pt-free counter electrode material to replace Pt allowing for large-scale fabrication of DSSCs.

SAPO-11 molecular sieves were synthesized using silica sol, hydrophilic fumed silica , and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as silicon precursors. Their physicochemical properties were characterized using XRD , SEM, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, Py-IR, NH 3 -TPD, EDS, and 27 Al, 31 P, 29 Si MAS NMR techniques. The catalytic performance was assessed in the hydroisomerization of n -octane. The results showed that the silicon precursors influenced the physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of SAPO-11. SAPO-11 synthesized using hydrophilic fumed silica as silicon precursor showed higher silicon distribution and had more medium acid sites. SAPO-11 synthesized using TEOS as silicon precursor had more silicon content , but more silicon islands formed in its framework. The depolymerization of silicon precursors might affect the silicon content and distribution in SAPO-11. In the hydroisomerization of n -octane, the catalytic activity strongly depended on the number of medium acid sites instead of the number of total acid sites. SAPO-11 synthesized using hydrophilic fumed silica as silicon precursor exhibited higher catalytic activity than the other samples because it has more medium acid sites.

Oxygen vacancies play a crucial role in charge transport and surface states in semiconductor metal oxides, significantly influencing various research fields, such as photocatalysis and gas sensor. Developing effective strategies to generate oxygen vacancies and thereby enhance device performance is highly desirable. In this study, we proposed a water-based one-step electrospinning method to introduce hydroxyl groups, leading to the synthesis of Pt-decorated WO3 nanofibers (Pt-WO3(H2O)) with increased oxygen vacancies. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the dissociation energy of W–OH is lower than that of the W–O bonds, promoting the formation of oxygen vacancies via W–OH bond cleavage. These vacancies reduced the adsorption energy of acetone on the WO3 surface, enhancing surface interactions. Consequently, the Pt-WO3(H2O) sensor exhibited an ultrahigh response of 82 to 1.8 ppm acetone at 300 °C, which was about 1 order of magnitude higher than the one fabricated by conventional electrospinning. These findings indicate that water-based electrospinning is an effective technique for generating oxygen vacancies in metal oxide nanofibers. Our high-performance acetone sensor, capable of detecting low concentrations, holds great potential for applications in noninvasive health screening.

Photoreforming cellulose to simultaneously produce 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) and hydrogen represents a promising strategy for harnessing solar energy. However, the development of highly efficient photocatalysts for this reaction remains a challenge, and the influence of cellulose’s crystalline structure on conversion efficiency is not well understood. In this study, a Pt-modified g-C 3 N 4 –Bi 3 TiNbO 9 heterojunction photocatalyst was synthesized to explore the photocatalytic reforming of four crystalline forms of cellulose. The results demonstrate that the crystalline structure of cellulose significantly affects hydrogen and 5-HMF production, with the order of activity being cellulose III > IV > II > I. Among the cellulose types tested, cellulose III exhibited the highest performance, achieving 51.8 μmol g⁻ 1 h⁻ 1 of hydrogen and 113.4 μmol g⁻ 1 h⁻ 1 of 5-HMF, surpassing the yields from cellulose I, II, and IV when using the Pt 1.0 –g-C 3 N 4 –Bi 3 TiNbO 9 (2:1) heterojunction. Additionally, a lower degree of polymerization of cellulose was found to favor the coproduction of hydrogen and 5-HMF, as it enhances the breakdown of cellulose via reactive species. Factors such as cellulose powder size, solution pH, and catalyst-cellulose interactions were also shown to influence the yields. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed an electron migration of 0.019684e between the O 2 p and Bi 6 p orbitals of Bi 3 TiNbO 9 (220) and the C 2 p and N 2 p orbitals of g-C 3 N 4 , confirming interfacial electron transfer. The calculated adsorption energies followed the trend: cellulose IV (− 1.72 eV) > I (− 1.73 eV) > II (− 1.94 eV) > III (− 2.07 eV), consistent with experimental results, except for cellulose IV.

Noble metal catalyst of Pt is considered as the most effective catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, its high cost and rare resource has been the roadblock for its widespread application. Therefore, design the small Pt nanoparticles with high active surface area and high activity is still demand in the HER. In this work, we propose a strategy to improve the utilization efficiency of Pt by decorating the cross-linked structures of CC with ultrafine Pt nanoparticles/nanofilm via the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. The optimized Pt/CC catalyst with ultralow Pt mass loading exhibits exceptional HER performance in terms of low overpotential, small Tafel slope and excellent long-term durability in both acid and alkaline solutions, which is comparable to the commercial 20 wt% Pt/C catalyst.

Hybrid-nanozymes are promising in various applications, but comprehensive comparison of hybrid-nanozymes composed of single-atoms or nanoparticles on the same support has never been made. Here, manganese-oxide nanosheets were loaded with Pt-single-atoms or differently-sized nanoparticles and their oxidase- and-peroxidase activities compared. High-resolution Transmission-Electron-Microscopy and corresponding Fast Fourier Transform imaging showed that Pt-nanoparticles (1.5 nm diameter) had no clear (1 1 1) crystal-planes, while larger nanoparticles had clear (1 1 1) crystal-planes. X-ray Photo-electron Spectroscopy demonstrated that unloaded nanosheets were composed of MnO 2 with a high number of oxygen vacancies (V o /Mn 0.4). Loading with 7.0 nm Pt-nanoparticles induced a change to Mn 2 O 3 , while loading with 1.5 nm nanoparticles increased the number of vacancies (V o /Mn 1.2). Nanosheets loaded with 3.0 nm Pt-nanoparticles possessed similarly high catalytic activities as Pt-single-atoms. However, loading with 1.5 nm or 7.0 nm Pt-nanoparticles yielded lower catalytic activities. A model is proposed explaining the low catalytic activity of under- and over-sized Pt-nanoparticles as compared with intermediately-sized (3.0 nm) Pt-nanoparticles and single-atoms. Herewith, catalytic activities of hybrid-nanozymes composed of single-atoms and intermediately-sized nanoparticles are put a par , as confirmed here with respect to bacterial biofilm eradication. This conclusion facilitates a balanced choice between using Pt-single-atoms or nanoparticles in further development and application of hybrid-nanozymes.

Sonodynamic therapy is an emerging therapeutic approach for combating bacterial infections. However, the characteristics of hypoxia, high H 2 O 2 microenvironment, and the formation of persistent biofilms in diabetic wound sites limit its efficacy in this field. To address these issues, we developed a multifunctional antibacterial hydrogel dressing PPCN@Pt-AMPs/HGel with the cross-linked gelatin and sodium alginate as the matrix, where the nanosonosensitizer PCN-224 was decorated with the oxygen-generating Pt nanoenzyme and further coupled with a biofilm-targeting antimicrobial peptide via an interacting polydopamine layer. This nano-composite hydrogel displayed improved mechanical properties as well as good biocompatibility and biodegradability. The catalase-like activity of the nanoparticles facilitated the ultrasound-induced generation of the singlet oxygen due to the catalytic decomposition of the H 2 O 2 into O 2 . In vitro results showed that the hydrogel dressing exhibited excellent antimicrobial ability under low-intensity ultrasound stimulation, which could effectively inhibit the newly formed biofilm and eliminate the full-grown biofilms. In the infected diabetic wound of rats, PPCN@Pt-AMPs/HGel significantly enhanced the wound healing rate under low-intensity ultrasound stimulation and improved the regeneration outcomes by promoting granulation tissue formation, angiogenesis, and type III collagen deposition. In conclusion, our study provides a novel and effective antibacterial hydrogel dressing for sonodynamic treatment of diabetic wounds.

In this article, a CRET-based chemiluminescent sensor was developed for ascorbic acid detection. Au/Pt@Cu2O/CuO NPs with peroxidase activity were prepared to catalyse the decomposition of H2O2 to produce free radicals, which led to the enhancement of the chemiluminescence (CL) signal, and the CRET between luminol and MnO2 NSs was able to take place and the CL signal was reduced; the presence of ascorbic acid would reduce MnO2 NSs, which was able to weaken the energy transfer between luminol and MnO2 NSs and restored the CL signal. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the detection range of ascorbic acid was 1–1000 μM, and the LOD was 0.35 μM. The method is sensitive and has a wide linear range, and is expected to be applied to the detection of ascorbic acid in more complex environments.
