A reversed positive-signal electrochemical immunosensor was developed for ultra-sensitive tetracyclines (TC) detection, leveraging a synergistically engineered interface of conductive urchin-like Au@Pt nanoparticles (NPs) and insulating SiO 2 nanoprobes. The Au@Pt NPs provide a high-performance electroactive foundation that significantly expands the effective surface area and accelerates interfacial electron transfer kinetics. A ‘signal-on’ mechanism was innovatively constructed by utilizing the mass-transport resistance and steric hindrance of bulky, insulating SiO 2 -antibody conjugates. In the absence of TC, the anchoring of SiO 2 nanoprobes creates a dense insulating barrier that truncates electron tunneling paths. Conversely, the competitive recognition of free TC prevents probe anchoring, removing the barrier and restoring charge transfer, which results in a significantly enhanced signal. This strategy effectively transforms passive dielectric blocking into a sensitive electrochemical response, allowing effective signal amplification of subtle recognition events. Under optimized conditions, the sensor exhibited a linear differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) response from 20 fg/mL to 20 ng/mL, with detection limits of 4.55 fg/mL and 11.58 fg/mL for the glassy carbon electrode and the screen-printed electrode, respectively. The sensor demonstrated excellent specificity against structural analogs, high reproducibility, and reliable recovery in spiked milk samples. This work validates the efficacy of using cost-effective insulating nanomaterials for high-sensitivity biosensing, offering a robust tool for food safety surveillance.

Metal catalysts often encounter the dilemma of rapid deactivation due to reduction or particle aggregation/growth during the reaction. Here we reported an active and stable metal nanoparticles (NPs)/surfactant ionic liquid (IL) system for the catalytic hydrochlorination of acetylene. The NPs of Pd, Au, and Pt with a narrow size distribution and well-defined lattice fringes experienced in situ generation in the reaction medium of anionic surfactant carboxylate ILs (ASC-ILs). Benefiting from the high reactivity of NPs and the self-assembly property of ASC-ILs, an effective redox cycle between Pd0 and PdII was established to reduce the deactivation of metal catalysts. The Pd NPs/surfactant IL systems showed excellent catalytic activity toward acetylene hydrochlorination. An acetylene conversion of 93% and a selectivity of 99.5% were achieved with no discernible deterioration over a reaction time of 55 h. Furthermore, ASC-ILs were endowed with a unique property of the strong hydrogen-bond basicity, which was effective in absorbing and activating acetylene and HCl. This study manifests that metal NPs/surfactant IL systems are promising as substitutes for toxic mercury catalysts in the hydrochlorination of acetylene, and also is instructive for the stabilization of metal NPs.

A dual-recognition strategy is reported to construct a one-step washing and highly efficient signal-transduction tag system for high-sensitivity colorimetric detection of Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ). The porous (gold core)@(platinum shell) nanozymes (Au@PtNEs) as the signal labels show highly efficient peroxidase mimetic activity and are robust. For the sake of simplicity the detection involved the use of a vancomycin-immobilized magnetic bead (MB) and aptamer-functionalized Au@PtNEs for dual-recognition detection in the presence of S. aureus. In addition, we designed a magnetic plate to fit the 96-well microplate to ensure consistent magnetic properties of each well, which can quickly remove unreacted Au@PtNEs and sample matrix while avoiding tedious washing steps. Subsequently, Au@PtNEs catalyze hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to oxidize 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) generating a color signal. Finally, the developed Au@PtNEs-based dual-recognition washing-free colorimetric assay displayed a response in the range of S. aureus of 5 × 10 1 –5 × 10 5 CFU/mL, and the detection limit was 40 CFU/mL within 1.5 h. In addition, S. aureus -fortified samples were analyzed to further evaluate the performance of the proposed method, which yielded average recoveries ranging from 93.66 to 112.44% and coefficients of variation (CVs) within the range 2.72–9.01%. These results furnish a novel horizon for the exploitation of a different mode of recognition and inexpensive enzyme-free assay platforms as an alternative to traditional enzyme-based immunoassays for the detection of other Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria.

This study synthesized Fe-doped dopamine carbon dots (Fe-DACDs) as a reducing agent and template hybrid Au and Pt nanoparticles (Au@Pt/Fe-DACDs). Au@Pt/Fe-DACDs with core–shell structures show strong peroxidase (POD)-like activity at physiological pH. A colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) dual-mode detection system for glucose in human serum was constructed by combining Au@Pt/Fe-DACDs with natural glucose oxidase (GOx). The cascade catalysis reactions convert glucose into hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and then, the Au@Pt/Fe-DACDs as both POD-like nanozyme and Raman-enhancers oxidize colorless and weak Raman-active 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into blue and strong Raman-active ox-TMB. The linear response ranges of glucose are from 0.02 to 1 mM, with a detection limit of 2.3 μM for colorimetric detection and 0.01 mM to 0.7 mM with a detection limit of 1.4 μM for SERS sensors. Glucose content in human serum samples was successfully assayed with a good recovery from 97.6 to 105.3%. Overall, these results demonstrate a new way of designing biological detection systems based on SERS and colorimetric dual-mode sensing.

A sensitive Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) with Au-Pt bimetallic nanoparticles (Au@Pt) functionalized silica nanoparticle (SiO 2 NPs) and Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 NPs) was designed for the quantitative detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 ( E. coli O157:H7). The poly-(4-styrenesulfonic acid- co -maleic acid) (PSSMA) as a negatively charged polyelectrolyte can be easily coated on surface of the amino group modified SiO 2 NPs via electrostatic force . PSSMA is also a good stabilizer for water-soluble bimetallic nanostructures . The PSSMA is first time used as a “bridge” to connect the negative charge Au@Pt NPs to the SiO 2 NPs, forming Au@Pt/SiO 2 NPs. Antibody and invertase conjugated Au@Pt/SiO 2 NPs (denoted as Ab/invertase-Au@Pt/SiO 2 NPs) were used as signal labels. Monoclonal antibody against E. coli O157:H7 (Ab) functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (denoted as Ab-Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 NPs) were used to enrich and capture the E. coli O157:H7 in positive sample. The immunosensing platform also composed of a personal glucometer (PGM) using for signal readout. Based on this sandwich-type immunoassay , the invertase in the final formed sandwich immunocomplex catalyzed the hydrolysis of sucrose to produce a large amount of glucose for quantitative readout by the PGM. Under optimal conditions, a linear relationship between the glucose concentration and the logarithm of E. coli O157:H7 concentration was obtained in the concentration range from 3.5 × 10 2 to 3.5 × 10 8 CFU mL −1 with a detection limit of 1.83 × 10 2 CFU mL −1 (3σ). This method was used to detect E. coli O157:H7 in spiked milk samples, indicating its potential practical application. This protocol can be applied in various fields of study.

A novel electrochemical redox-active nanocomposite was synthesized by a one-pot method using N,N′-diphenyl-p-phenylediamine as monomer , and HAuCl 4 and K 2 PtCl 4 as co-oxidizing agents. The as-prepared poly(N,N′-diphenyl-p-phenylediamine)-Au/Pt exhibited admirable electrochemical redox activity at 0.15 V, excellent H 2 O 2 electrocatalytic ability and favorable electron transfer ability. Based on these, the evaluation of the composite as sensing substrate for label-free electrochemical immunosensing to the sensitive detection of carbohydrate antigen 199 was described. This technique proved to be a prospective detection tool with a wide liner range from 0.001 U mL −1 to 40 U mL −1 , and a low detection limit of 2.3 × 10 −4 U mL −1 (S/N = 3). In addition, this method was used for the analysis of human serum sample, and good agreement was obtained between the values and those of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, implying the potential application in clinical research. Importantly, the strategy of the present substrate could be extended to other polymer-based nanocomposites such as polypyrrole derivatives or polythiophene derivatives, and this could be of great significance for the electrochemical immunoassay .

Alkyl lactates can be produced via a glycerol oxidation-rearrangement route, which is a promising alternative to the microbial fermentation-based technology but is still hindered by the lack of an efficient catalyst. Herein, we reported the successful fabrication of well-defined bimetallic Au–Pt nanoparticles confined inside the Snβ zeolite, i.e., AuxPty@Snβ, using a mercaptosilane-assisted structure reconstruction strategy. Owing to the synergistic effect of bimetallic Au–Pt species and the unique Lewis acidic framework Sn, the optimized Au1Pt3@Snβ demonstrated superior catalytic performance in the conversion of glycerol to methyl lactate, achieving a 78.8% methyl lactate yield and a TOF of 335 h–1 at 413 K and 0.5 MPa air, which surpasses most previously reported heterogeneous catalysts under similar reaction conditions. The confinement environment of zeolite can not only provide spatial restriction but also induce a strong interaction between encapsulated Au–Pt nanoparticles and framework Sn, thus inhibiting metal sintering and leaching during catalysis. Experimental and theoretical calculations (DFT) results explicated the critical role of bimetallic Au–Pt synergy in activating O2 and facilitating a lower energy barrier for glycerol dehydrogenation, thereby promoting the catalytic performance.

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose remains a leading cause of drug-induced acute liver failure, with existing therapeutic options proving insufficient. Given the central role of oxidative stress and inflammatory cascades in APAP-induced hepatotoxicity, we developed an Au@Pt nanozyme that mimics multi-enzymatic activities—superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT)—to counteract oxidative damage and inflammation. This nanozyme effectively scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) and exhibits antiapoptotic properties, offering a promising strategy for mitigating APAP-induced liver injury. Mechanistically, Au@Pt nanozyme not only attenuates hepatic oxidative stress by suppressing ROS accumulation but also reduces the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6) while enhancing anti-inflammatory signals (IL-10). Further investigations reveal that Au@Pt exerts its protective effects by inhibiting the chemokine and MAPK signaling pathways, thereby shielding compromised hepatocytes from secondary damage and reducing apoptosis. Importantly, in vivo assessments confirm the excellent biosafety profile of Au@Pt, with no detectable toxicity. Collectively, our findings highlight the therapeutic potential of this nanozyme for both prevention and treatment of ALI.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a promising approach to solve the current energy and environmental crises. Herein, we developed a “one stone, two birds” strategy to construct Au@Pt decorated ZnO/CdS heterojunctions (ZCAP) with Au-S bond and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect for promoted PEC water splitting. The optimized ZCAP structure exhibited the highest photocurrent density of 4.23 mA/cm 2 at 1.23 V vs. RHE and hydrogen evolution rate of 72.3 μmol·cm −2 ·h −1 , which is magnitude higher than pure ZnO. In-depth investigations indicate that SPR effect can afford hot electrons, whereas Au-S bonds over interface act as transmission bridge for facilitated electron transfer, the synergy of them achieves efficient charge separation and light utilization. Meanwhile, surface Pt nanoparticles serve as active sites for rapid charge transfer and promoted surface reaction. This article illustrates that the synergy of SPR and electron transfer bridge is an efficient strategy for promoted PEC performance.

The weak catalytic activity of nanocatalysts and the insufficient endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in tumor microenvironment (TME) seriously restricted the efficacy of catalytic therapy, and the non-degradability of inorganic nanocarriers was also unfavorable for their clinical applications. Herein, by depositing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) with ultrasmall size and modifying photosensitizer (IR808), a biocompatible bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoplatform (BSA@Au/Pt-IR808) with triple-amplification of enzyme activity was constructed to enhance photodynamic therapy (PDT) and catalytic therapy. Ultrasmall AuNPs possessed glucose oxidase (GOx)-like activity, by which the self-supplying H 2 O 2 accelerated the dual-enzyme activity of peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) of ultrasmall PtNPs, promoting the generation of hydroxyl radical (·OH) and singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ). Compared with BSA-IR808 and BSA@Pt, the yields of 1 O 2 and ·OH of BSA@Au/Pt-IR808 increased by 38.2% and 18.6%. Under the combination action of photothermal therapy (PTT)/PDT/catalytic therapy of BSA@Au/Pt-IR808, the cell viability significantly reduced to 12.8%, and the tumors were completely eliminated, demonstrating the enhanced PDT and catalytic therapy against breast cancer.

In this work, bimetallic Au–Pt alloyed nanowire networks (AuPt NNs) were facilely synthesized by a simple and rapid one-pot wet-chemical method on a large-scale, using N-methylimidazole as a structure-directing agent and a weak stabilizing agent. The surface of AuPt NNs was clean owing to the easy removal of the adsorbed N-methylimidazole. The control experiments demonstrated that the morphologies of AuPt NNs were strongly correlated with the amount of N-methylimidazole and reaction temperature. The formation mechanism included the four-stage growth processes: rapid nucleation, selective adsorption, π–π induced assembly, and oriented attachment growth. The as-synthesized AuPt NNs exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activity and improved stability for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as compared to commercial Pt black and individual Pt nanoparticles.

In this study, a sensitive colorimetric method for the detection of copper ion (Cu2+) was developed based on controlling the peroxidase-like activity of (gold core)@(ultrathin platinum shell) nanocatalysts (Au@Pt-NCs). It was found that D-penicillamine can effectively inhibit the activity of Au@Pt-NCs. After being incubated with Cu2+, D-penicillamine lost inhibition toward the catalytic ability of Au@Pt-NCs. Based on the above interaction, a colorimetric detection of Cu2+ was develop by measuring the colorimetric signal variation of the H2O2-3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) reaction. This method exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity toward Cu2+ over a panel of other metal ions. The detection limit of this method was 3.7 nM and the linear range was 20 – 300 nM. Moreover, 20 nM Cu2+ can be distinguished directly by the naked eye. Furthermore, this method was applied to the analysis of water samples with good accuracy. These results demonstrated the excellent application potential of the method.
