We developed a simple and sensitive room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) method for the determination of graphene oxide (GO) in environmental water samples using amino-functionalized silica-encapsulated Mn/ZnS quantum dots (Mn/ZnS@SiO2-NH2) as a phosphorescent probe. The maximum phosphorescence excitation and emission wavelengths of the synthesized Mn/ZnS@SiO2-NH2 nanoparticles were 320 nm and 595 nm. The RTP intensity of the Mn/ZnS@SiO2-NH2 nanoparticles could be quenched in the presence of GO with a detection limit as low as 1.0 mg L−1. Good linear correlations were obtained over the concentration range from 0 to 10.0 mg L−1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9987, and 10.0 to 25.0 mg L−1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9979. The phosphorescence quenching mechanism was also discussed. This method was successfully applied to the determination of GO in environmental water samples which allows more opportunities for its application in biological and environmental systems.

A sensitive dual-readout immunosensor for fluorescence and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection of ricin was established, which was combined with a streptavidin–biotin signal amplification system. CdSe/ZnS quantum dots with fine fluorescence and ECL properties were used as the dual-signal function probes of the sandwich immunocomplex. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the dual signal intensity increased significantly with the rise in ricin concentration. The fluorescence intensity of the senor exhibited a good liner relationship toward the ricin concentrations with 0.1~100 ng/mL and the limit of detection (LOD) was 81.7 pg/mL; taking ECL as the detection signal, the sensor showed a linear relationship with the ricin concentrations ranging from 0.01 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL and the LOD was 5.5 pg/mL. The constructed sensor with high sensitivity had been successfully applied to the detection of ricin in complex matrices with satisfactory recoveries. The proposed immunosensor model can be extended to the analysis and detection of others target proteins.Keywords:immunosensor;ricin;fluorescence;electrochemiluminescence;dual readout;CdSe/ZnS quantum dotsKey Contribution:A dual-readout (fluorescence and ECL) immunosensor for ricin detection was established based on CdSe/ZnS quantum dots with dual signal, which was combined with a streptavidin–biotin signal amplification system.

To address the issues of poor cycling stability and unrealized theoretical capacity of layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) as an anode material—caused by severe volume expansion during charge/discharge processes—we innovatively propose a "partial carbonization" modification strategy for ZIF-8 templates. This approach successfully constructs a ZnS/NC "dodecahedral nursery" rich in active sites. Benefiting from the abundant anchoring sites provided by this structure, MoS 2 can uniformly and firmly "take root" on the "nursery" via Mo–N bonds, ultimately forming a composite material (ZnS/NC@MoS 2 ) in which MoS 2 nanoflowers uniformly coat the dodecahedral framework. This composite effectively mitigates the volume expansion of MoS 2 and enhances overall structural stability. Moreover, the zinc retained by the partial carbonization strategy, after sulfidation, contributes additional capacity via conversion reactions, further enhancing the material's electrochemical performance. Specifically, when used as an anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), it maintains a specific capacity of 895.64 mAh g −1 after 1200 cycles at 2 A g −1 ; for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), its specific capacity increases from 348 mAh g −1 to 510 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g −1 .

Herein, a highly selective and sensitive fluorescent sensing system is developed for the accurate quantitative determination of γ-Hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH, Lindane). With carboxyl-functionalized CdSe/ZnS core–shell quantum dots (QDs) as the substrate, 3-Aminophenylboronic acid (3-APBA) is covalently conjugated onto the quantum dot surface via an amidation reaction. Systematic characterizations are used to confirm the successful fabrication of the CdSe/ZnS-COOH@3-APBA fluorescent probe, which exhibits excellent luminescence properties and superior colloidal dispersion stability. Under optimal experimental conditions, an increased γ-HCH concentration induces gradual attenuation of the probe fluorescence intensity. A favorable linear correlation is achieved within 10–140 nM, and the limit of detection is 2.62 nM. Mechanistic studies reveal that γ-HCH binds to 3-APBA on the probe surface via halogen bonding to form non-fluorescent ground-state association complexes, thereby triggering static quenching of the probe. This method can effectively distinguish α-, β-, and δ-hexachlorocyclohexane isomers. With the merits of simple operation, high sensitivity, excellent stability, and strong anti-interference capability, it provides a new strategy for the rapid screening and accurate quantification of γ-HCH residues in environmental and food matrices.

Magnesium alloys are promising for biodegradable medical devices due to their low density, high specific strength, and excellent biocompatibility. However, their rapid corrosion, protein fouling, and bacterial adhesion severely limit clinical applications. Here, a stratified-rock-inspired micro/nano-structured ZnS/Zn-MOFs coating was fabricated on AZ31B via a one-step hydrothermal route and post-functionalized with stearic acid (SA) and chloramphenicol (CAP) to afford a superhydrophobic ZnS/Zn-MOFs@SC surface (water contact angle ≈ 164°). The coating retained its superhydrophobicity after ultrasonication, adhesive-tape peeling, and sandpaper abrasion. Electrochemical measurements revealed that the corrosion current density (I corr ) decreased from ∼10 -3 A cm −2 (bare alloy) to 7.66 × 10 -7 A cm −2 , corresponding to a four-order-of-magnitude improvement, while the diameter of the capacitive loop in the Nyquist plot increased by five orders of magnitude. In vitro bacterial tests show the coating fully prevents bacterial adhesion. The inhibition zones for E. coli and S. epidermidis reach 3.1 cm and 4.4 cm. And it has been established that bacterial growth levels below the detection limit (10 5 CFU cm −2 ) cannot effectively evaluate its antimicrobial efficacy. These results demonstrate that the ZnS/Zn-MOFs@SC coating simultaneously provides robust corrosion protection, anti-fouling, and antibacterial activities, offering great potential for next-generation biodegradable implants.

It is promising to develop next-generation indoor and outdoor flexible electroluminescent light sources, as thin as wallpaper, by converting electric energy into light directly based on semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). This work reports a sunlike full-spectrum electroluminescent white light-emitting diode (WLED) fabricated by spin-coating the mixture of yellow-green, red, and blue QDs at once, adopting the device structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK(PTAA)/Mixed QDs/ZnO:Mg (AP-ZnO)/Al(Ag). The yellow-green and red QDs are prepared by coating three-layer ZnS shells on the CuInS2 cores, which are synthesized using sulfur powder and dodecanethiol (DDT) as sulfur source, respectively. The blue QDs are prepared by coating three-layer ZnS shells on ZnCuGaS2 cores. The photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of the yellow-green, red, and blue QDs is 82%, 89%, and 83%, respectively. The WLED emits warm white light with a color temperature of 3000 K, chromaticity CIE (0.4228, 0.4287), and color rendering index (CRI) Ra 92.4. The electroluminescence spectrum of the device, whose similarity to the solar spectrum reaches 91.7% in the wavelength region of 450–700 nm, is rich in the red component and poor in the blue component, showing great potential for future healthy lighting applications.

The construction of heterojunction is an effective strategy to manipulate the dynamic behaviors of photo-induced charges. It is essential for wide band gap semiconductor to introduce defects reasonably to mediate electronic properties and charge behaviors. Herein, through an in situ etching growing method and thermal treatment, dual defective ternary photocatalyst ZnS/ZnO-In 2 O 3 with porous layered structure and extensive heterojunction interfaces has been prepared for visible light photocatalysis of water splitting. The suitable position of intermediate energy level endows the ternary photocatalyst with the ability of electrons directed flow between the different components, and the transfer mode follows Z-scheme. The cascaded dual defects on ZnO and ZnS synergistically facilitate the efficient separation of photo-generated charges through the intimate interface, and further enhance visible light photocatalysis performance. This work is expected to enlighten the rational design of dual defects for wide bandgap semiconductor.

In this paper, novel molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) based on Mn doped ZnS quantum dots (QDs) with molecular recognition ability were successfully synthesized by precipitation polymerization using 2,6-dichlorophenol (2,6-DCP) as template, methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linker. The obtained materials (MIPs-ZnS:Mn QDs), which were composed of Mn doped ZnS QDs as phosphorescence signal and MIPs as molecular selective recognition sites, could sensitively and selectively recognize the template molecules by using the spectrofluorometer. After the experimental conditions were optimized, a linear relationship was obtained covering the range of 1.0–56 μmol L−1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9994. The developed method was applicable to routine trace determination of 2,6-DCP in real examples. This study also provides a general strategy to fabricate MIPs-coated QDs with excellent performance and is desirable for chemical sensor application.

Solar-driven hydrogen evolution over ZnO-ZnS heterostructures is considered as a promising strategy for sustainable-energy issues. However, the industrialization of this strategy is still constrained by suppressed carrier migration, rapid charge recombination, and the inevitable utilization of noble-metal particles. Herein, we envision a novel strategy of successfully introducing In 2 O 3 into the ZnO-ZnS heterostructure. Benefiting from the optimized internal electric field and the charge carrier migration mode based on the direct Z-scheme, the interfacial elaborating In 2 O 3 -decorated ZnO/reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/ZnS heterostructure manifests smooth charge migration, suppressed electron–hole pair recombination, and increased surface active sites. More importantly, the in situ introduction of In 2 O 3 optimizes the construction of the internal electric field, favoring directional light-triggered carrier migration. As a result, the light-induced electrons generated from the heterostructure can be efficiently employed for the hydrogen evolution reaction. Hence, this work would shed light on the in situ fabrication of noble-metal-free photocatalysts for solar-driven water splitting.

The present work fabricated a novel dual-emission responsive ratiometric fluorescent hybrid nanoprobe using a mixture of blue fluorescence-emitting N-Doped Carbon Quantum Dots (N-CQDs) and red fluorescence-emitting l -cysteine-capped CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots (Lcys-CdSe/ZnS QDs). The addition of Cu 2+ resulted in the strong and specific fluorescence quenching in Lcys-CdSe/ZnS QDs while N-CQDs retained their fluorescence intensity. Further exploration of the nanoprobe showed that the detection limit was 3.78 × 10 −9 M and the linear range was below 3.2 × 10 −6 M. The nanoprobe possessed excellent anti-interference in the Cu 2+ determination and its application was successful in natural water samples. Experimental results suggested that the superficial left cysteine (Lcys) combines with Cu 2+ causing static quenching. Results of density functional theory (DFT) computation explained that Cu 2+ has the greatest possibility to combine with surficial Lcys and furthermore illustrated the role of the combination in static quenching. The work showed one of origin of the selectivity of the nanoprobe and a potentially guidance to design high selective ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobes.

Intracellular three-dimensional (3D) thermal mapping is a valuable technical tool for answering fundamental scientific questions about cellular thermal behavior and subcellular diagnostic therapy. The best method for achieving intracellular 3D thermal imaging is to collect intracellular temperature response while also obtaining a 3D position for the corresponding location. However, temperature measurement in cell space has not been accurately characterized due to the difficulty in accurately locating the 3D position in microregions. In this article, we developed a QD-based intracellular 3D thermal imaging system by combining QD fluorescence thermometry with double-helical point spread function (DH-PSF)-based axial localization. Liposome transfection was used to achieve the cellular uptake of CdTe/CdS/ZnS QDs in HOS cells. Five QDs’ temperatures with spatial distribution in living cells were realized in the axial range of 1.35 μm by collecting the thermosensitive fluorescence emission of discrete QDs and the axial imaging localization information, and their 3D thermal image distribution was mapped. Measurements and analysis show that the combination of QD fluorescence thermometry and axial localization of DH-PSF enables the acquisition of thermal image information in intracellular 3D microregions. Using this system, temperature variations at 3D locations in living cells exposed to ionomycin Ca2+ stress were also monitored. The method described in this article can be applied broadly to the study of intracellular space thermal response and thermal regulation.

Graphical Gloves on : A ZnO/ZnS/ZnIn 2 S 4 (ZnO/ZnS/ZIS) photoanode is fabricated by simple but effective sequential ion-exchange reactions. The prepared coaxial “glove” structure photoanode facilitates protection of the inner layer of ZnO, simultaneously boosting charge separation and the oxygen evolution reaction kinetics and achieving a stable photocurrent density of 1.146 mA cm −2 at 1.2 V RHE , approximately 2-fold higher than that of pristine ZnO. Serious degradation and the short photogenerated carrier lifetime for the wide-bandgap semiconductor ZnO have become prominent issues that negatively affect photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Herein, a novel electron transport pathway was constructed by simple but effective coaxial growth of ZnO/ZnS/ZnIn 2 S 4 heterostructure nanoarrays to increase the carrier separation efficiency. This new photoanode fulfilled the requirements of both favorable band alignment and stability, achieving a stable photocurrent density of 1.146 mA cm −2 at 1.2 V RHE , which was approximately twice that of pristine ZnO. Detailed experimental studies revealed that the improved PEC activity was due to the lattice-matching interface coherency that activated the carrier transport pathway, giving rise to an optimized interfacial electronic structure for promoted charge separation by the built-in electric field and strengthened water oxidation activity. This design may provide a new approach to fabricating various efficient lattice-matching coherent interface photoanodes for PEC water splitting.
