Photonic synaptic transistors, designed to emulate the multispectral light detection of retinal neurons, play a pivotal role in advancing artificial vision systems capable of full-color image recognition. However, their limited sensitivity to weak and multispectral light significantly hampers their application in full-color image capture and recognition. In this work, a p-i-n structured synaptic transistor is introduced that improves weak light sensitivity and enhances synaptic performance by addressing interface issues. By integrating P3HT/LiF/InZnGdO nanofibers as p-i-n structure, the spectral response is successfully broadened from visible to near-UV region, achieving sensitivity to light intensities as low as 0.05 mW cm −2 . The device exhibits remarkable PPF characteristics across the wavelength range of 395–633 nm, with the PPF index showing a maximum increase of 84% compared to the single InZnGdO nanofiber device. Additionally, multiple neural networks are constructed with data from the synaptic transistor array driven by wavelength-tunable synaptic plasticity to validate the device's feasibility in various application scenarios. The proposed device achieved a recognition accuracy of up to 95.26% for high-precision full-color images based on the public CIFAR-10 dataset. This p-i-n structure offers a novel pathway to enhance the synaptic performance of metal oxide-based synaptic transistors, advancing the development of next-generation artificial vision.

Malachite green (MG) has been illicitly employed in aquaculture as a parasiticide, however, its teratogenic and carcinogenic effects pose a significant human health threat. Herein, a dual-mode colorimetric and electrochemical aptasensor was fabricated for MG detection, capitalizing on the robust catalytic and peroxidase-like activity of P-CeO 2 NR@Mxene and good capture efficiency of a tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN) designed with multiple aptamers (m-TDN). P-CeO 2 NR@Mxene-modified complementary DNA (cDNA) served as both colorimetric and electrochemical probe. m-TDN was attached to AuE to capture MG and P-CeO 2 NR@Mxene/cDNA. The superior aptamer and MG binding to cDNA regulated signals and enabled precise MG quantification. The further introduced Exo I enabled aptamer hydrolysis, releasing MG for further binding rounds, allowing target recycling amplification. Under the optimal conditions, the aptasensor reached an impressively low detection limit 95.4 pM in colorimetric mode and 83.6 fM in electrochemical mode. We believe this dual-mode approach holds promise for veterinary drug residue detection.

The ever-increasing need for energy-dense batteries with high safety is fuelling global research and innovations in new redox chemistry and device design. Here we show an aqueous battery employing highly concentrated hetero-halogen electrolytes that contain I − and Br - , resulting in a multielectron transfer process of I − /IO 3 − . The intermediate bromide species IBr and Br 2 , generated during the electrochemical process, enhances the reaction kinetics and alleviates the potential gap between oxidation and reduction. When using a 6 M I − electrolyte to achieve over 30 M electron transfers, the I − /IO 3 − cathode displayed a high specific capacity of over 840 Ah l catholyte −1 . A battery with Cd/Cd 2+ as the anode demonstrated a high energy density of over 1,200 Wh l catholyte −1 . Even at an exceptionally high current density of 120 mA cm −2 , an energy efficiency of 72% was obtained. Our work demonstrates that safe aqueous batteries with high energy density are possible, offering a development option for grid-scale energy storage and even electric vehicles.

Herein we report a sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor for sensitive detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) using a new composite of carboxyl-terminated ionic liquid and helical carbon nanotubes (CIL-HCNTs) as platform and ferrocenecarboxylic acid (Fc-COOH) as signal label. The composite of CIL-HCNTs was prepared by a simple and convenient one-step ultrasound method and was then characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, cyclic voltammetry and chronocoulometry. CIL-HCNTs, possessing large surface area and high electrical conductivity, provide a good platform for anti-cTnI monoclonal antibody immobilization through the carboxyl groups of CIL-HCNTs. The Fc-COOH, as a signal label based on the oxidation process, was combined with the CIL-HCNT platform to construct the electrochemical immunosensor for cTnI determination. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical immunosensor exhibited desirable performance for cTnI determination with a wide range of linearity from 0.01 to 60.0 ng mL −1 and a relatively low detection limit of 0.006 ng mL −1 . Importantly, the immunosensor showed excellent specificity and acceptable reproducibility as well as satisfactory reliability for human serum sample analysis.

Rapid, reagent-free, and ultrasensitive analysis of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is of significance for early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The electrochemical aptamer-based (EAB) sensors are promising candidates to fill this role as they are reagentless and can be directly interrogated in complex matrices (e.g., blood). To achieve high sensitivity, EAB sensors typically require nanomaterials or other amplification strategies, which often involves a cumbersome fabrication process. To circumvent this, here we develop a simple yet effective electrocatalytic electrochemical aptamer-based (Ec-EAB) sensor that utilizes target-induced regulation of the catalytic mechanism to achieve ultrasensitive measurement of cTnI. In this assay, we employed a probe-attached redox reporter (i.e., methylene blue, MB) and a solution-diffusive redox reporter (i.e., Fe(CN)63–) to generate two signals, of which the latter is used to catalyze MB to amplify aptamer-mediated charge transfer. The recognition of target altered the diffusion of catalysts (2.2 × 10–9 mol/cm2 in the target-free state versus 1.2 × 10–9 mol/cm2 in the target-bound state) and thus electrocatalytical efficiency, enabling ultrasensitive measurement of cTnI with a 1000-fold improvement in their sensitivity (a limit of detection value: 10 pg/mL).

Sulfur-doped copper-cobalt bimetallic oxides (S-CuYO) with abundant Cu(I) were successfully synthesized by a co-precipitation method and were for the first time utilized to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of chloramphenicol (CAP). For comparison purposes, sulfur-doped monometallic oxides (S-CuO and S-CoO) and non-doped copper-cobalt bimetallic oxide (CuCoO-1) were also prepared via the same processes. The results demonstrated that S-CuCoO had the highest catalytic activity among the catalysts. The sulfur-doped catalyst significantly improved the catalytic performance and stability. More than 98% of CAP (20 mg/L) was removed within 15 min at the initial pH = 5. The superior catalytic activity of S-CuCoO mainly resulted from the synergy of Cu(I) and Co(II). The presence of Cu(I) improved the conversion of Co(III) to Co(II), which maintained the high catalytic performance of S-CuCoO. In addition, the produced Cu(II) was further converted to Cu(I) by lattice oxygen (O 2− ), ensuring an adequate supply of Cu(I) in the catalyst. Radical quenching experiments revealed that both the SO 4 − and OH radicals were generated by the interaction of S-CuCoO with PMS, thereby contributing to the efficient degradation of CAP and the OH radicals played a larger role. The main intermediates of the CAP degradation were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Theoretical calculations of the frontier electron densities (FEDs) were performed to determine the possible degradation pathways of CAP.

Multifunctional type-I photosensitizers (PSs) for hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) detection and photodynamic therapy (PDT) of hypoxia tumors exhibits attractive curative effect but remains a challenging task. Herein, a mitochondria targeted aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizer TSPy-SS-P was designed and synthesized, which could be used for H 2 S detection and simultaneously type I and type II PDT. TSPy-SS-P had excellent selectivity and anti-interference abilities for endogenous and exogenous H 2 S detection in tumor cells. TSPy-SS-P was able to distinguish tumor cells with high level of H 2 S from normal cells by fluorescence “turn off” response to H 2 S. In addition, TSPy-SS-P showed type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation ability to effectively ablate hypoxic tumor cells. TSPy-SS-P showed mitochondria targeting capacity which could produce ROS in situ to disrupt mitochondria and promote cell apoptosis. In vivo PDT experiments showcased that TSPy-SS-P had excellent tumor retention capability, effective tumor ablation ability and good biocompatibility. This work provided a two-pronged strategy to design organelles targeted photosensitizers for H 2 S detection and effective PDT of tumors.

Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) monitoring is of great value in the clinical diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In this paper, a highly sensitive electrochemical aptamer sensor using polystyrene (PS) microspheres as the electrode substrate material in combination with Prussian blue (PB) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was demonstrated for the sensitive and label-free determination of cTnI. PS microspheres were synthesized by emulsion polymerization and then dropped onto the glassy carbon electrode (GCE); PB and AuNPs were electrodeposited on the electrode in corresponding electrolyte solutions step by step. The PS microsphere substrate provided a large surface area for the loading mass of the biological affinity aptamers, while the PB layer improved the electrical conductivity of the modified electrode, and the electroactive AuNPs exhibited excellent catalytic performance for the subsequent electrochemical measurements. In view of the above mentioned AuNPs/PB/PS/GCE sensing platform, the fabricated label-free electrochemical aptamer sensor exhibited a wide detection range of 10 fg/mL~1.0 μg/mL and a low detection limit of 2.03 fg/mL under the optimal conditions. Furthermore, this biosensor provided an effective detection platform for the analysis of cTnI in serum samples. The introduction of this sensitive electrochemical aptamer sensor provides a reference for clinically sensitive detection of cTnI.

To significantly enhance reaction efficiency of porous heterojunctions in various applications, precise engineering of customization heterostructures through energy-level modulation is indispensable. Herein, the preparation of a core-shell porous heterojunction, UiO-66@TDCOF, is reported. Taking advantage of adjustable structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the energy-level of UiO-66 core is tailored to precisely align with that of porphyrin-based covalent organic framework (denoted as TDCOF) shell. As a results, the heterojunction transitions flexibly from a type-I to a type-II configuration, which remarkably enhances the efficiency of charge separation under light irradiation, resulting in exceptional performances in chemiresistive gas sensing. Notably, the sensitivity of (NH 2 ) 1.24 -UiO-66@TDCOF towards NO 2 is at a high level among all reported heterojunctions under visible-light condition, surpassing the majority of previously reported MOF and COF materials. This research not only presents a strategy for the design of heterojunctions but also gives an approach to material design tailored for chemical applications.

Due to their distinctive stimulus-responsive properties, materials exhibiting hypsochromic mechanofluorochromism (MFC) or force-induced substantial weakening of fluorescence intensity have demonstrated remarkable application potential in the field of information security. This study designed and synthesized two novel fluorene-based dinuclear gold(I) complexes, 1 and 2 . Both molecules exhibited aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics. Specifically, complex 1 showed reversible hypsochromic MFC. In contrast, complex 2 exhibited force-induced substantial weakening of fluorescence intensity. It is worth noting that 2 is the first example of gold(I)-based luminogen capable of simultaneously exhibiting AIE and force-induced substantial weakening of fluorescence intensity. Based on the force-induced significant fluorescence attenuation feature of luminogenic complex 2 , an interesting information anticounterfeiting system involving a pizza model was successfully established. This work not only reports the first example of AIE-active gold(I) complex featuring anisotropic mechanical force-induced pronounced fluorescence reduction but also provides a valuable reference for anticounterfeit applications of mechanically responsive luminogens.

Abstract Cyanidin-3-O-rhamnoside (C3R) and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) show strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities with great potential for chronic disease prevention. However, C3R biosynthesis from (+)-catechin has not been reported, and C3G production from this substrate is low for industrial applications. Here, we constructed a microbial platform for the efficient C3R and C3G production via genetic engineering and metabolic optimization. We screened glucosyltransferases and rhamnosyltransferases from various plants to identify the optimal combinations for C3G and C3R biosynthesis. Tuning UDP-glucose and UDP-rhamnose balance by plasmid copy number increased the C3R concentration by 120%. Overexpression of MdtH and yadH improved extracellular C3R and C3G accumulation by 16% and 31%, respectively. After optimizing substrate and culture conditions, the engineered strains produced 529.01 mg/L of C3R and 926.47 mg/L of C3G, with C3R synthesis reported for the first time. This study underscores the key roles of glycosyltransferases and UDP-sugar modulation, providing a versatile strategy for producing other disaccharide- or rhamnose-containing natural products.

In this study, we investigated how different proportions blends of Rhamnogalacturonan-I pectic polysaccharides and hesperidin impact the gut microbiota and metabolites using an in vitro simulated digestion and fermentation model. The results indicated that both of them could modulate the gut microbiota and produce beneficial metabolites. However, their blends in particular proportions (such as 1:1) exhibited remarkable synergistic effects on modulating the intestinal microenvironment, surpassing the effects observed with individual components. Specifically, these blends could benefit the host by increasing short-chain fatty acids production (such as acetate), improving hesperidin bioavailability, producing more metabolites (such as hesperetin, phenolic acids), and promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria. This synergistic and additive effect was inseparable from the role of gut microbiota. Certain beneficial bacteria, such as Blautia , Faecalibacterium , and Prevotella , exhibited strong preferences for those blends, thereby contributing to host health through participating in carbohydrate and flavonoid metabolism.
