Synergistic effects play an important role in improving the catalytic activity for enzyme-like reactions. Compared to individual nanomaterials, a system consisting of multiple components usually exhibits enhanced catalytic activity as an enzyme mimic. Herein we describe the synthesis of CuFe2O4/Cu9S8/polypyrrole (PPy) ternary nanotubes as an efficient peroxidase mimic via a three-step approach involving an electrospinning process, annealing treatment and hydrothermal reaction. The remarkably enhanced catalytic activity of CuFe2O4/Cu9S8/PPy ternary nanotubes as peroxidase mimics over individual CuFe2O4 nanofibers, CuFe2O4/CuO composite nanofibers, CuFe2O4/CuS composite nanofibers, and PPy materials has been achieved, demonstrating the presence of a synergistic effect among the components. The steady-state kinetic experiment suggests a good catalytic efficiency of the CuFe2O4/Cu9S8/PPy ternary nanotubes. On the basis of high catalytic activity, a colorimetric platform for the sensitive detection of H2O2 and dopamine has been developed. This work not only offers a simple approach for the fabrication of a high performance peroxidase-like nanocatalyst, but also provides its promising potential applications in biosensors, medical diagnosis, and environmental monitoring.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) based on hydroxyl radicals (•OH) to suppress tumor cells is a promising strategy due to its efficacy and safety. Nevertheless, in tumor cells, CDT still faces challenges such as insufficient •OH and weak killing effect of tumor cells under physiological conditions due to inadequate amounts of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and heightened glutathione expression. These challenges limit the therapeutic potential of CDT. To improve the effects of CDT, combination treatment strategies have been developed. Here, we report a rationally designed nanocomposite (CaO 2 @Cu-LA) with self-supplying H 2 O 2 ability from calcium peroxide, and nitric oxide (NO) generation ability from l -arginine. NO molecules not only exhibit a strong killing effect, but also have the potential to transfer into the more cytotoxic substance peroxynitrite anion by reacting with reactive oxygen species. The results showed that CaO 2 @Cu-LA could significantly suppress tumor growth by increasing •OH radicals and NO molecules. Taken together, the strategy developed here provides a good application foreground to yield a remarkable synergistic antitumor effect of CDT and NO gas therapy.

A facile and energy-efficient synthesis of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA complex and its application as adsorbent for removal of Cu 2+ from aqueous solution were investigated. Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA was synthesized by mixing Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 and HEMA monomer and then initiating the polymerization of HEMA monomer by H 2 O 2 under Fe 2+ catalyzing at room temperature . As adsorbent, the maximum sorption capacity of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA for Cu 2+ was calculated to be 20.7 mg/g at pH 6.0. And the efficient enrichment of Cu 2+ on Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA depended on its multiple carbonyl groups and the electrostatic interaction between carboxyl groups and Cu 2+ . The carboxyl groups were from slow hydrolysis of partial ester bonds of PHEMA under acidic conditions. The possible hydrolysis process of ester bonds was facilitated to avoid sorption capacity of Cu 2+ decreasing caused by other ions sorption (like Fe 2+ ) during the synthesis of the adsorbent. The adsorption of Cu 2+ on Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA coincided with Langmuir model. The Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA had good dispersity in water and it could be easily collected from wastewaters by a magnet. The results showed that Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA was a promising adsorbent in wastewater treatment.

Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is an important green oxidant for environmental remediation. It is a sustainable strategy to realize solar-driven in- situ H 2 O 2 production for timely using via cascade reactions to sterilization or remove organic pollutants etc. However, how to improve the H 2 O 2 production and consumption abilities of catalysts are the two main challenges. Here we report a superior carbon-related ZnIn 2 S 4 /g-C 3 N 4 catalyst with excellent H 2 O 2 generation and consumption capabilities for efficient sterilization under visible light irradiation. The 2D/2D heterojunction of ZnIn 2 S 4 /g-C 3 N 4 with rapid carrier separation and transfer efficiency exhibits a remarkable H 2 O 2 yield of 4.27 mmol g −1 , which is much higher than that of current catalysts. The in- situ produced H 2 O 2 can be quickly activated to strong oxidizing hydroxyl radicals for sterilization, in which the Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) are fully cleared only within 25 min and 98% of Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) are killed out after 60 min irradiation. The prepared photocatalysts realize the rapid production and consumption of H 2 O 2 , and this work provides an effect green strategy for sterilization via the in- situ generated H 2 O 2 .

This study focused on the development of a novel process of H2O2/FeSO4 preoxidation combined with wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) postabsorption for simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification, and recovery of sulfur and nitrogen from flue gas. The results show that when no oxidant is added, the denitrification efficiency by WFGD is only 5.3%, while under the H2O2/FeSO4 preoxidation, the desulfurization and denitrification efficiency can reach 99.9% and 83.6%, respectively. When the liquid/gas ratio reaches 18 L·m–3, the desulfurization efficiency is nearly 100%, and the denitrification efficiency can reach 90.6% due to the increased liquid/gas contact area and improved heat and mass transfer. The absorption process of SO2 and NOx involves both physical and chemical absorption, which is dominated by physical absorption, and the absorption characteristics are multilayer absorption. The desulfurization products CaSO3 and CaSO4, and the denitrification products Ca(NO2)2 and Ca(NO3)2, are absorbed by the CaCO3 slurry. The Aspen Plus process simulation results show that the desulfurization and denitrification efficiencies are 99.5% and 89.6%, respectively, and the concentrations of SO2 and NOx in the flue gas are 21.4 mg·m–3 and 41.5 mg·m–3, respectively, which meet the ultralow emission standards. In addition, the H2O2/NO molar ratio, oxidation temperature, and SO2 concentration have an important effect on the NO conversion, which then affects the denitrification efficiency.

Resveratrol performs a variety of biological activities, including the potential regulation of autophagy. However, it is unclear whether resveratrol protects against luteal dysfunction and whether autophagy involves the regulation of resveratrol. This study aims to investigate whether resveratrol can regulate autophagy to resist H2O2-induced luteinized granulosa cell dysfunction in vitro. Our results showed that resveratrol can enhance cell viability, stimulate the secretion of progesterone and estradiol, and resist cell apoptosis in H2O2-induced luteinized granulosa cell dysfunction. Resveratrol can activate autophagy by stimulating the expression of autophagy-related genes at the transcriptional and translational levels and increasing the formation of autophagosomes and autophagolysosomes. Rapamycin, 3-methyladenine, and bafilomycin A1 regulated the levels of autophagy-related genes in H2O2-induced luteinized granulosa cell dysfunction and further confirmed the protective role of autophagy activated by resveratrol. In conclusion, resveratrol activates autophagy to resist H2O2-induced oxidative dysfunction, which is crucial for stabilizing the secretory function of luteinized granulosa cells and inhibiting apoptosis. This study may contribute to revealing the protective effects of resveratrol on resisting luteal dysfunction from the perspective of regulating autophagy.Keywords:autophagy;resveratrol;corpus luteum;luteinized granulosa cell

The abnormal fluctuations of glutathione (GSH) in vivo often reflect disease progression and are closely linked to human metabolism and physiological functions. Highly sensitive and selective detection of GSH is crucial for guiding early diagnosis and treatment; however, achieving this remains a significant challenge. In this study, we developed an enzyme activity sensor platform for the efficient detection of GSH. This platform utilizes Au@CuS core–shell materials loaded with CuO 2 nanoparticles to create a composite nanosensor system. Under slightly acidic conditions, CuO 2 on the nanomaterial’s surface decomposes into H 2 O 2 and Cu 2+ ions. The generated H 2 O 2 then reacts with tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of peroxidase-like CuS to yield oxidized tetramethylbiphenyl ( OX TMB), which generates a distinctive Raman signal. Upon addition of GSH to the system, the unique OX TMB signal diminishes due to GSH’s strong antioxidant capacity and the consequent consumption of OX TMB. This sensing method enables sensitive detection of GSH, with a detection limit as low as 1.2 × 10 -13 mol∙L -1 . This approach holds promise for providing researchers with rapid and precise in vitro analysis of GSH, serving as an indicator for early disease diagnosis and real-time evaluation of treatment efficacy.

Solar-driven photocatalysis is a promising approach for renewable energy application. H2O2 photocatalysis by metal-free graphitic carbon nitride has been gaining attention. Compared with traditional thermal catalysis, metal-free graphitic carbon nitride photocatalysis could lower material cost and achieve greener production of H2O2. Also, to better guide photocatalyst design, a fundamental understanding of the reaction mechanism is needed. Here, we develop a series of model cost-effective metal-free H2O2 photocatalysts made from graphitic carbon nitride (melem) and common imide groups. With 4,4′-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA)-modified g-C3N4, a H2O2 yield rate of 10781 μmol/h·g·L could be achieved. Transient absorption and ex situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements revealed an ultrafast charge transfer from the melem core to water with ∼3 ps to form unique N–OH intermediates. The electron withdrawing ability of the anhydride group plays a role in governing the rate of electron transfer, ensuring efficient charge separation. Our strategy represents a new way to achieve a low material cost, simple synthesizing strategy, good environment impact, and high H2O2 production for renewable energy application.

Scalable solar-driven H 2 O 2 evolution from water holds great promise for industrial applications. Efficient H 2 O 2 generation relies on excellent spatial charge separation but simultaneously suffers from severe surface H 2 O 2 backreaction, which becomes a bottleneck for scalable H 2 O 2 evolution. Herein, a hydroxyl-induced carbon nitride (CN) homojunction coherently optimizes the bulk charge separation and suppresses surface backreaction. Surface hydroxyls provide extra electron accommodation bands for electron extraction from the bulk to the surface which are visually observed with KPFM and rationalized by DFT calculations. 2e - oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetic became more favorable than 4e - ORR in the presence of hydroxyl, showing suppressed H 2 O 2 decomposition. This homojunction achieves a 4.5-fold improvement in H 2 O 2 production compared to pristine CN, and an apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 2.1 % at 500 nm in water. This work demonstrates a strategy for coherently improving spatial charge separation and surface reaction kinetics, which is applicable for various photocatalytic reactions.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a crucial role as an oxidizing agent within the tropospheric environment, making a substantial contribution to sulfate formation in hydrated aerosols and cloud and fog droplets. Field observations show that high levels of H2O2 are often observed in heavy haze events and polluted air. However, the source of H2O2 remains unclear. Here, using the droplets formed in situ by the deliquescence of hygroscopic compounds under a high relative humidity (RH), the formation of H2O2 by the photochemistry of imidazole-2-carbaldehyde (2-IC) under ultraviolet irradiation was explored. The results indicate that 2-IC produces IM–C•–OH and IM–C•═O radicals via H transfer itself to its excited triplet state and generates H2O2 and organic peroxides in the presence of O2, which has an evident oxidizing effect on SO2, suggesting the potential involvement of this pathway in the formation of atmospheric sulfate. H2O2 formation is limited in acidic droplets or droplets containing ammonium ions, and no H2O2 is detected in droplets containing nitrate, whereas droplets containing citric acid have an obvious promotion effect on H2O2 formation. These findings provide valuable insights into the behaviors of atmospheric photosensitizers, the source of H2O2, and the formation of sulfate in atmospheric droplets.

The unfavorable factors in tumor microenvironment such as hypoxia and limited H 2 O 2 levels greatly impede the anticancer efficacy of chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). To address these issues and achieve O 2 /H 2 O 2 -sufficient chemo/chemodynamic combination therapy, we synthesized a solid lipid monostearin coated calcium peroxide (CaO 2 ) nanocarrier for the co-delivery of a chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) and a biocompatible Fenton catalyst iron-oleate complex. Specifically, the solid lipid shells of nanoparticles could disintegrate in lipase-overexpressed cancer cells to release iron-oleate and expose CaO 2 cores. Afterwards, the uncovered CaO 2 responded to the acidic aqueous environment within cancer cells, leading to the release of DOX molecules and generation of H 2 O 2 . Based on Fenton reactions, Fe 3+ liberated from iron-oleate reacted with H 2 O 2 to produce O 2 for hypoxia-relieved chemotherapy, and Fe 2+ for the catalytic generation of hydroxyl radical to initiate CDT. Both treatments synergistically contribute to the enhanced antitumor outcomes.

Artificial nanoenzymes which can overcome some drawbacks of natural enzymes is a challenging topic in the biosensor field. Herein, we demonstrated 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (4-carboxylpheyl)-porphyrin modified magnetic ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles loaded on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (Por-ZnFe 2 O 4 /rGO), which exhibited intrinsic peroxidase-like activity and rapidly oxidized the peroxidase substrate 3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into a blue product (OxTMB) distinguished by naked eyes. Interestingly, by comparative study of different nanomaterials ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles, ZnFe 2 O 4 /rGO and Por-ZnFe 2 O 4 , Por-ZnFe 2 O 4 /rGO was proved to possess the highest peroxidase-like activity. Electron spin resonance (ESR) verified the catalytic activity of Por-ZnFe 2 O 4 /rGO for H 2 O 2 was due to hydroxyl radical from decomposition of H 2 O 2 . Temperature and pH strongly affected the peroxidase-like activity of Por-ZnFe 2 O 4 /rGO nanocomposites. Under optimal conditions (pH = 4, 40 °C), the constructed sensor based on the catalytic activity of the Por-ZnFe 2 O 4 /rGO could be conveniently used for colorimetric detection of H 2 O 2 in the range of 0.7–30 μM with the detection limit of 0.54 μM. Moreover, the colorimetric sensor based on Por-ZnFe 2 O 4 /rGO exhibited a good linear response to glutathione (GHS) in the range of 2–40 μM with a low detection limit of 0.76 μM. The detection of GHS can be easily realized through the obvious color change by naked eyes without any complicated instrumentation.
