Protein self-assembly has attracted extensive interest in the field of biomaterials and biomedicine due to its inherent biocompatibility and flexible designability. In this paper, we propose a potential route to generate a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform through Sn-triggered protein self-assembly. Specifically, Sn2+ ion was used to trigger the self-assembly of bovine serum albumin (BSA) to form in situ Sn/BSA film on the indium tin oxide (ITO) glass. Then, a CdS thin film as a PEC active material was electrodeposited on the Sn/BSA modified ITO electrode. The hybrid Sn/BSA film was demonstrated to stabilize the PEC response of the CdS. A dual-electrode PEC cell comprised a graphene oxide (GO)-modified photocathode and a Sn/BSA hybrid film/CdS-loaded photoanode. Pb2+-response deoxyribozymes (DNAzymes) were hybridized with the substrate strands tagged with Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) and then immobilized on the photocathode. Upon Pb2+-induced cleavage, Au NP-linked oligonucleotide fragment dislocated from the photocathode surface, resulting in a decrease in the PEC response. The present PEC biosensor showed highly sensitive detection of Pb2+ with a wide detection range from 10.0 fM to 0.1 μM and a low detection limit of 4.0 fM. This work demonstrates that the Sn/BSA hybrid film has potential application prospects in PEC sensing, thereby providing a new way of thinking for the design and development of the bioinspired biosensor.

A curcumin based iron, copper and boron doping carbon dots (Cu,Fe,B/Cur-CDs) with ascorbic acid oxidase (AAO)- and peroxidase (POD)-like activities were synthesized via microwave digestion. The Cu,Fe,B/Cur-CDs oxidize ascorbic acid (AA) to dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA), which reacts with o -phenylenediamine (OPD) to generate fluorescent 3-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl) furo [3,4-b]quinoxaline-1-one (DFQ). Simultaneously, it catalyzes OPD/H₂O₂ to fluorescent 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) via POD-like activity. In the presence of metronidazole (MNZ), it induces competitive inhibition by competing with OPD for the active sites of Cu, Fe, B/Cur-CDs. This reduces the generation of •OH and •O₂ − radicals, hindering the oxidation of OPD to form DAP and thus decreasing the system's fluorescence intensity. Additionally, MNZ quenches the fluorescence of DFQ at 420 nm via the inner filter effect. Therefore, a dual-signal fluorescence sensor for MNZ detection was constructed. The sensor achieved 91.6–109.9 % and 86.2–116.2 % recovery in food samples using standard addition, demonstrating high sensitivity for dual-signal detection systems.

In recent years, cadmium sulfide (CdS) has been widely investigated due to its excellent photocatalytic performance. However, its practical application in pollutant treatment is limited by its narrow photoresponse range and susceptibility to photocorrosion. Herein, we design a unique four-layer core–shell structure NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ @NaYF 4 @CdS@Au (CSNPs@CdS@Au), with an inert NaYF 4 shell coating on NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ (CNPs) to form NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Er 3+ @NaYF 4 (CSNPs) and CdS depositing on CSNPs (CSNPs@CdS); Au nanoparticles are loaded on CdS (CSNPs@CdS@Au). Compared with CdS (9.81%), CSNPs (5.0%), CSNPs/CdS (6.9%), and CSNPs@CdS (81.0%), CSNPs@CdS@Au degrades 97.7% Rhodamine B (RhB) within 15 min, exhibiting superior photocatalytic performance, attributable to two key factors: (1) the NaYF 4 inert shell encapsulation amplifies upconversion (UC) luminescence intensity by suppressing surface quenching; and (2) the electron transfer between Au nanoparticles and CdS effectively promotes spatial separation of photogenerated charge carriers and increases reactive active sites. Additionally, after five degradation cycles, CSNPs@CdS@Au still maintains a 93.25% degradation rate for RhB, confirming its excellent stability. This remarkable stability is attributed to the uniquely designed multilayer core–shell architecture, which significantly enhances structural integrity through physical isolation effects. This study establishes a material preparation strategy for efficient photocatalytic pollutant degradation.

In the pursuit of highly efficient hydrogen production through photoelectrochemical water splitting, expanding the utilization of the visible spectrum and extending the lifetime of photogenerated electrons are crucial challenges for improving the efficiency. To address these challenges, we prepared CdS sensitized TiO 2 photoanodes using a one-step hydrothermal method, employing thioglycolic acid (TGA) and mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) as linkers. The successful synthesis of CdS QDs and the CdS/TiO 2 photoanode was confirmed through various characterization techniques, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Performance evaluations revealed that the TGA-decorated CdS/TiO 2 photoanode exhibited superior photocurrent density and stability compared to the MPA-modified counterpart. Notably, its applied bias photo-to-current conversion efficiency was 1.7 times greater than that of the MPA-modified CdS/TiO 2 photoanode. Furthermore, UV–visible absorption spectrum analysis demonstrated that the incorporation of CdS QDs significantly broadened the spectral response of the TiO 2 photoanode, extending it from the ultraviolet to the visible range. This enhancement is crucial for improving light harvesting capabilities. Additionally, our analysis of electron lifetime indicated that the shorter molecular chains of TGA effectively minimize the transfer distance for photogenerated electrons from the CdS QDs to the TiO 2 , resulting in improved electron lifetimes and, consequently, enhanced photocurrent density.

In this work, a novel ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor was developed for the detection of K562 cell by a signal amplification strategy based on multiple layer CdS QDs functionalized polystyrene microspheres(PS) as bioprobe and graphene oxide(GO) -polyaniline(PANI) composite as modified materials of capture electrode. Due to electrostatic force of different charge, CdS QDs were decorated on the surface of PS by PDDA (poly(diallyldimethyl-ammonium chloride)) through a layer-by-layer(LBL) assemble technology, in which the structure of multiple layer CdS QDs increased the detection signal intensity. Moreover, GO-PANI composite not only enhanced the electron transfer rate, but also increased tumor cells load ratio. The resulting electrochemical biosensor was used to detect K562 cells with a lower detection limit of 3 cells mL −1 (S/N = 3) and a wider linear range from 10 to 1.0 × 10 7 cells mL −1 . This sensor was also used for mannosyl groups on HeLa cells and Hct116 cells, which showed high specificity and sensitivity. This signal amplification strategy would provide a novel approach for detection, diagnosis and treatment for tumor cells.

A novel and visible ratiometric fluorescence sensor based on magnesium and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (Mg, N-CDs) encapsulated in zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (Mg, N-CDs@ZIF-8) was designed for effective detection of oxytetracycline (OTC), employing a “turn-off/turn-on” fluorescence sensing strategy. The blue-emission Mg, N-CDs@ZIF-8 was quenched owing to fluorescence resonance energy transfer by OTC, while the green fluorescence of OTC was significantly enhanced through the interaction of Mg 2+ and Zn 2+ with OTC, enhancing the visual tracking of OTC through a distinct blue-to-green color transition. This sensor displayed a wide linearity range (0.02 − 25 μg/mL), a low detection limit (14.2 ng/mL), and a fast response time (6 min). The validity of the sensor was successfully verified by detecting OTC in milk, honey, tap water, and lake water samples. Additionally, an expandable fluorescence sensor array was constructed for the discrimination of four tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) in real samples, indicating significant application in complex environmental samples.

Hierarchical semiconductors are the most important photocatalysts , especially for visible light-induced hydrogen production from water splitting. We demonstrate herein a hierarchical electrostatic assembly approach to hierarchical CdS/m-TiO 2 /G ternary photocatalyst, which exhibits high photoactivity and excellent photostability (more than twice the activity of pure CdS while 82% of initial photoactivity remained after 15 recycles during 80 h irradiation). The ternary nanojunction effect of the photocatalyst has been investigated from orbitals hybrid, bonding energy to atom-stress distortion and nano-interface fusion. And a coherent separation mechanism of charge carriers in the ternary system has been proposed at an atomic/nanoscale. This work offers a promising way to inhibit the photocorrosion of CdS and, more importantly, provide new insights for the design of ternary nanostructured photocatalysts with an ideal heterojunction .

BiVO 4 /CdS composites with different morphologies and mass ratios were successfully prepared via a facile deposition-precipitation method by adding different dispersants. Compared with spherical BiVO 4 (BS), sheet-like BiVO 4 nanoarrays (BA) showed higher (020) exposed areas, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed further details on the microstructure of the composites namely, CdS was deposited on the surface of BiVO 4 forming an S-(111) interface layer. The photocatalytic properties of the samples were tested by studying the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and the sterilization of Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) under visible-light irradiation. The BAC-60 sample showed the best photocatalytic performance among all the catalysts owing to its: (i) improved high separation efficiency of the photo-induced charge carriers and (ii) high exposure activity of the (020) plane. Electrochemical tests with non-equilibrium carrier injection and free radical trapping experiments are introduced to analyze the mechanism, such as the effects of different crystal planes on the photocatalytic reaction and the flow direction of carriers at the CdS–BiVO 4 interface.

The efficient utilization of solar light with UV–Vis-NIR spectrum in photocatalytic hydrogen process is a great confusion to explore, towards achieving high-efficient solar-to-fuel conversion. Herein, we firstly endow CdS a full-spectrum photocatalytic H 2 ability by coupling with a full-spectrum absorption material Cs 0.33 WO 3 (CWO). The CWO/CdS photocatalyst reveals the full spectrum photocatalytic ability to produce H 2 of 2648 μmol g −1 h −1 under the full spectrum, 708 μmol g −1 h −1 under visible light, which is 10 times as high as that of pure CdS nanoparticles under visible light, and 16 μmol g −1 h −1 under NIR spectrum (λ > 800 nm). Meanwhile, the composite selectively utilizes solar light: 708 μmol g −1 h −1 under λ > 420 nm and 25 μmol g −1 h −1 under >520 nm, demonstrating the main functional region of visible light is at 400–520 nm, supported by the down and up conversion of the PL analysis. By combining with the analysis, the excellent activity of hydrogen evolution is attributed to the synergistic effect of a z-scheme heterojunction and the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of CWO. This work has put forward a novel Z-scheme heterostructure for constructing high-efficient photocatalyst towards providing a new heterostructure combination and opens an insight on the usage of different solar region.

Addressing the dual challenges of freshwater scarcity and pollution elimination requires innovative technologies that rationally integrate multiple functions. This study developed a representative dual-functional solar evaporator by coupling photothermal Fe₃O₄ nanospheres with oxygen-doped CdS (CdS-O) within a sponge-based hydrogel matrix, achieving concurrent high-efficiency solar-driven water regeneration and pollutant degradation. The design leverages the unique roles of two unique components, wherein, Fe₃O₄ endows the evaporator with broadband solar absorption (300–800 nm) and an superior photothermal conversion efficiency of 80 %, while oxygen doping CdS-O narrows its bandgap (from 2.31 eV to 2.29 eV), enhancing visible-light harvesting and charge separation. Crucially, the synergistic interplay between Fe₃O₄ and CdS-O establishes a self-sustained photo-Fenton-like mechanism. CdS-O generates H₂O₂ via photogenerated electron reduction of O₂, and Fe₃O₄ acts as an electron acceptor to accelerate Fe 3 + /Fe 2+ cycling, Fe²⁺ ions react with H₂O₂ via a Fenton-like process to produce ·OH radicals for pollutant mineralization. Simultaneously, the hydrogel-sponge architecture ensures rapid water transport and localized heat confinement, enabling an evaporation rate of 1.55 kg·m −2 ·h −1 under 1 sun irradiation. The system demonstrates remarkable dual-functionality: 86.9 % tetracycline degradation in lake water within 240 minutes and 89 % photocatalytic activity retention after six cycles. This work overcomes the limitations of conventional single-function systems by unifying photothermal evaporation and photocatalytic oxidation into a scalable platform, offering a sustainable solution for simultaneous water production and purification through material synergy and energy-efficient design.

Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) contaminated in soil or water system poses a serious threat to human health. Developing an efficient remediation strategy and treatment method towards Cr(VI) in situ from wastewater is truly under an urgent demand in many countries or regions suffered from this heavy metal threaten. Converting Cr(VI) to Cr(III) with less toxicity by a biological or photocatalytic reduction processing is commonly considered as one of the effective strategies. However, how to effectively enhance the performance of Cr(VI) reduction processing remains a technical challenge. In line with this issue, a novel approach has been proposed to combine a biological and photocatalytic reduction processing together to improve the Cr(VI) remediation. In this system, a novel Cr(VI)-reducing anaerobic bacterium Paraclostridium bifermentans G3 isolated from termite’s gut would detoxify Cd(II) to cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles that could be precipitated in situ on the cell surface to create a CdS- Paraclostridium bifermentans complex. More importantly, with this complex system, the Cr(VI) reduction processing was significantly improved, where Cr(VI) was completely reduced by the complexes in the case of Cr(VI) concentration at 260 mg/L after 90 min under light culture. As a comparison, if the biological agent, P. bifermentans, was applied alone, it would come out a different reduction efficiency at 81.9% of Cr(VI) after 90 min reaction. These results suggested that the proposed complex system of Cr(VI)-reducing bacteria combined with CdS nanoparticles may potentially provide a novel and in-situ approach for a sustainable enhancement of Cr(VI) remediation to wastewater.

In this work, a novel dual-excitation and dual-emission fluorescent probe , CDs–COO–Fluorescein (CDs–COO–F), for the specific detection of hydrazine (N 2 H 4 ) was designed and synthesized through esterification reaction of carbon dots (CDs) and fluorescein (F). The prepared CDs were characterized by TEM, XPS , XRD and FT-IR and the optical properties of CDs and CDs–COO–F were described by UV–vis and fluorescence spectra. On the other hand, the affecting factors including hydrazine (N 2 H 4 ) concentration and interfering substances on the hydrazine (N 2 H 4 ) detection were researched. The high sensitivity and high selectivity of CDs–COO–F in detection hydrazine (N 2 H 4 ) could be confirmed. Two good linear responses of fluorescence emission intensities of CDs–COO–F at 462 nm and 515 nm as functions of hydrazine (N 2 H 4 ) concentration were obtained, respectively. The limits of detection hydrazine (N 2 H 4 ) were 0.504 μM and 0.269 μM under 370 nm and 480 nm excitation wavelength lights, respectively. The detecting mechanism of hydrazine (N 2 H 4 ) by CDs–COO–F was deduced from the experimental results. Cell imaging and cytotoxicity experiments of CDs–COO–F were measured. The experiment results show that the fluorescent probe CDs–COO–F can be applied to detect hydrazine (N 2 H 4 ) in aqueous solution and living cells.
