A label-free detection technique for microRNA (miRNA) was developed based on target replacement cycling, polymerization and isomerization cyclic amplification (PICA), and G/Hemin DNAzyme signal output. The designed hairpin probe undergoes cyclic alternation of polymerization and isomerization catalyzed by Bst DNA polymerase, enabling target replacement cycling and continuous self-extension of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) strands. This process generates abundant G-quadruplex sequences that bind to Hemin, achieving label-free detection of miRNA through catalytic reactions. Its key advantages include a specific primer self-extension mechanism that avoids spurious amplification, one step isothermal design simplifies workflow and enhances system robustness, adapting to diverse detection scenarios, and label-free detection strategy that substantially reduces cost. Therefore, it is poised to become a reliable tool for clinical miRNA analysis, offering potential guidance for the early diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of tumor biomarkers.

Due to their unique persistence in the environmental cycle, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are increasing concern in the scientific community. Therefore, the development of new energy-saving and environmentally compatible technologies to remove these pollutants is highly requested. In this work, an S-scheme photocatalytic nanoreactor was synthesized by Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles to S doped carbon nitride nanosheets . The unique structure of S-scheme Fe 2 O 3 /SCN heterojunction enhances its optical absorption and has a large number of active sites and photogenerated carrier separation. Consequently, the Fe 2 O 3 /SCN demonstrated excellent photo-Fenton degradation activities under visible light irradiation. Remarkedly, 5 mg/L of norfloxacin is completely photo-Fenton degraded following 25 min under visible light irradiation. It further shows that ·OH and ·O 2− play an important role in the photo-Fenton catalytic reaction , leading to the decomposition of norfloxacin. The degradation of tetracycline further demonstrates that this photo-Fenton catalytic system can be effectively used to remediate pharmaceutical and personal care product contamination in environmental waterways.

The synthesis of g-C 3 N 4 with a large specific surface area is highly desirable for developing g-C 3 N 4 -based photocatalysts with good activity. Herein, the specific surface area of g-C 3 N 4 was enlarged by preconditioning its raw material via a preassembly method, and the prepared g-C 3 N 4 , which has an enlarged specific surface area, exhibited a special maize-like structure. Interestingly, the specific surface area of this maize-like g-C 3 N 4 can be easily modulated by simply changing the amount of the special preconditioned precursor and the volume of the reaction cell used during the synthesis process, and the specific surface area can be enlarged to at least 224.11 m 2 /g. Several techniques, including transient-state photoluminescence spectroscopy, surface photovoltage response, and electrochemical measurements, confirmed that the charge separation property of g-C 3 N 4 is enhanced by enlarging its specific surface area, and it also exhibited increased photocatalytic degradation activities. This work provides a feasible strategy for designing high-performance g-C 3 N 4 -based photocatalytic systems.

The development of excellent ternary metal oxides as electron transporting layers (ETLs) is highly challenging for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this study, ZnTiO 3 (ZTO) nanoparticles are synthesized via a facile sol-gel method, and used as an ETL in PSCs. Furthermore, for the first time, iodine-doped g-C 3 N 4 (ICN) is introduced into ZnTiO 3 -based ETL as additive via a glass-assisted annealing route. Characterizations demonstrate that the ZnTiO 3 -based ETL with the addition of ICN will enhance the PCE, which is attributed to the improved crystalline quality and more favorable energy level alignment. Moreover, the existence of ICN will strengthen the interfacial cohesion between perovskite layer and ETL as well as retard the perovskite crystals from decomposing, leading to the high quality capping light-harvesting layer upon ICN-modified ZnTiO 3 (ZTO-ICN) film. Consequently, a champion device fabricated with ZTO-ICN ETL achieves a maximum PCE of 19.17 % with an open circuit voltage (V oc ) of 1.012 V, a short-circuit current density (J sc ) of 26.32 mA cm −2 and a fill factor (FF) of 0.720 under AM 1.5 G sunlight (100 mW cm −2 ).

Graphitic carbon nitride ( g -C 3 N 4 ) is a fascinating photocatalyst for solar energy utilization in photo-catalysis. Nevertheless, it often suffers from moderate photo-catalytic activity due to its low specific surface area and fast recombination rate of photogenerated electrons upon photo-excitation. Herein, we overcome the bottlenecks by constructing a porous g -C 3 N 4 nanosheet ( PCNS ) through a simple thermal oxidation etching method. Benefited from its porous layer structure, the obtained PCNS exhibits large specific surface area, efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers, as well as high exposure of active sites. As a result, it is robust and universal in visible light-driven dehydrogenation of alcohols in water under oxidant-free condition. Almost quantitative yields (> 99%) of various valuable carbonyl compounds were obtained over PCNS , while bulk g -C 3 N 4 was far less efficient. Moreover, the photo-catalyst was highly stable and could be facilely recovered from the aqueous system for efficient reuse. The easy preparation and excellent performance made PCNS a promising and competitive photocatalyst for the solar applications.

The preparation of 3 kinds of carbonaceous nanocomposites by hydrothermal treatment and subsequent calcination described. The first comprises a nanomaterial of type CuO/g-C 3 N 4 , with g-C 3 N 4 in mass fractions of 2, 5 and 7 wt%, respectively. The second comprises CuO/porous carbon (5 wt%), and the third comprises CuO/carbon spheres (5 wt%). All of them were employed to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to obtain electrochemical sensors for glucose and dopamine. The GCE modified with CuO/g-C 3 N 4 (5 wt%) displays the highest electrocatalytic activity towards glucose and dopamine. Figures of merit for sensing glucose (in 0.1 M NaOH solution) include a wide linear range (0.5 μM to 8.5 mM), a detection limit of 0.150 μM, and a sensitivity of 0.274 μA·μM −1 ·cm −2 (at a working potential of 0.60 V vs. Ag/AgCl). The respective data for dopamine (in pH 7.0 solution) are linear ranges from 0.2-16.0 μM and 16.0-78.7 μM, a lower detection limit of 60 nM, and an electrochemical sensitivity of 0.834 and 0.331 μA·μM −1 ·cm −2 (at a working potential of 0.22 V vs. Ag/AgCl). The good performance of the modified GCE is attributed to the synergetic interactions between CuO and the appropriate fraction of g-C 3 N 4 , and the improvement of conductivity.

A novel quenching electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor for the trace detection of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) was developed. Doping CdS with Zn2+ to obtain ZnCdS not only significantly improves the original properties of CdS, but also can be loaded onto the surface of g-C3N4 to form a special complex structure, which effectively improves the ECL performance of g-C3N4. Rh0.6Ru0.4 alloys with flower-like structures were prepared by simple hydrothermal synthesis, with excellent electrical conductivity and catalytic performance. Due to its special flower-like structure with a large specific surface area, Ag nanoparticles can be uniformly loaded on its surface to form Rh0.6Ru0.4@Ag composites. Through spectral comparison, it was found that Rh0.6Ru0.4@Ag has strong UV-vis absorption in the ECL emission wavelength range of g-C3N4, which can generate resonance energy transfer, thereby effectively quenching the ECL signal. The immunosensor has a wide detection range with a detection limit of 16 fg mL−1 (S/N = 3), good stability and biocompatibility, and has great potential in clinical application.

A highly-efficient graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) photocatalyst for visible light photodegradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and methyl orange (MO) simulating dyeing wastewater was synthesized by the thermal polycondensation of melamine. The photocatalysts were characterized by TG-DTG-DSC, XRD, EA, XPS, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, BET, PL and UV-vis DRS. The results showed that the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4at a higher calcination temperature was significantly enhanced, and its photocatalytic activities for the photodegradation of RhB and MO were remarkably improved by 64.91% and 41.83%, respectively, which was mainly attributed to the satisfactory crystallinity, stable graphene-like structure, large surface area, and excellent optical properties. It was found that •O2−radicals and •OH radicals were the main active species for the photodegradation process by the free radicals trapping experiments and ESR analysis. The photodegradation mechanism of g-C3N4was proposed predicated using the characterization results.

Two novel covalent bond photocatalysts, namely, g-C3N4NSs/TC1 and g-C3N4NSs/TC2 were prepared for the first time via the generation of an amide covalent bond between g-C3N4 nanosheets (g-C3N4NSs) and acyl chloride synthesized from triphenylamine-type dyes, 2-cyano-3-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)acrylic acid (TC1) or 3,3′-(4,4′-(phenylazanediyl)bis(4,1-phenylene))bis(2-cy-anoacrylic acid) (TC2). The experimental results indicated that triphenylamine D–π–A-type organic dye moieties covalently bonded to g-C3N4 successfully and the spectral response regions of both g-C3N4NSs/TC1 and g-C3N4NSs/TC2 could be extended from ∼460 nm to more than 600 nm. Due to the introduced amide covalent bond, the constructed g-C3N4NSs/TC1 photocatalyst showed remarkably enhanced H2 evolution activity with about 73 555.8 μmol h−1 g−1 and exhibited high apparent quantum yields (AQY) of 35.2%, 27.1%, 16.9% and 5.4% at 420 nm, 500 nm, 520 nm and 600 nm monochromatic light, respectively. Compared with the results for pure g-C3N4 NSs, about 100 times higher H2 production rate and 978 times higher AQY value were obtained for g-C3N4NSs/TC1 with the amide covalent bond under visible light irradiation. Compared to g-C3N4NSs/TC1, g-C3N4NSs/TC2 exhibited slightly lower H2 evolution activity with about 70 986.8 μmol h−1 g−1. Combining the experimental and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results, a possible mechanism can be conjectured that the electronic and geometric structures of g-C3N4NSs/TC1 are more conducive to the charge separation and the unidirectionality of electron transport in the excited state than those of g-C3N4NSs/TC2. The research reveals that this introduction of simple triphenylamine-type dyes into the surface of g-C3N4via covalent links results in a strong covalent interaction between functionalized moieties and g-C3N4 to synergistically improve the electronic and optical properties and photocatalytic performance. The present work highlights the potential use of organic dye covalent-functionalized g-C3N4via post modification as a novel photocatalyst in applications such as H2 production.

In this work, a novel flower-shaped NV-g-C3N5@VS2 heterojunction was prepared by hydrothermal in situ synthesis using NV-g-C3N5 as the matrix and thioacetamide as the precursor. The prepared heterojunction showed a flower-like and layered structure, which widened the visible light absorption range and facilitated the usage of visible light. Under visible light irradiation, the NV-g-C3N5@VS2 heterojunction exhibited excellent photoelectrocatalytic nitrogen reduction activity with an ammonia yield of 49.26 μg h−1 mg−1 in an electrolyte solution saturated with N2. Moreover, the NV-g-C3N5@VS2 heterojunction achieved outstanding photocatalytic degradation activity. The photocatalytic degradation rate of Rhodamine (RhB) reached 95% in 35 min under visible light irradiation. More importantly, the catalyst displayed good reusability and stability after four cycling runs for the photodegradation of MB. The prepared catalyst showed excellent photocatalytic universality and was also applied to efficiently degrade organic pollutants such as methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB). Therefore, solar light-driven photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic applications based on the NV-g-C3N5@VS2 heterojunction are expected to pave a new way for fertilizers, energy utilization, and environmental remediation.

In order to improve the comprehensive performance of phenolic foam, 9, 10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) was grafted with itaconic acid (ITA) (DOPO-g-ITA) to modify microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). DOPO-g-ITA modified MCC (DIMMCC) was used to prepare composite
phenolic foam (DCPF). The structures of DIMMCC were verified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The microstructure and crystalline property were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) respectively. Compared with MCC, the crystallinity
of DIMMCC was dramatically decreased, but the diffraction peak positions were unchanged. Thermal stability was decreased, and Ti decreased by 45.0°C. The residual carbon (600°C) was increased by 22.34%. With the dosage of DIMMCC/PR increased, compared with PF, the mechanical properties
and flame retardancy of DCPF were increased. Especially, the dosage of DIMMCC/PR was 10%, the comprehensive properties of DCPF was better than others.

In this research, the effects of visible-light-driven titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanotube/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) hybrids on the corrosion protection performance of epoxy coatings both in the dark and under visible-light irradiation are studied. For this, TiO 2 nanotube/g-C 3 N 4 hybrids and 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane functionalized hybrids were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy , scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping, N 2 adsorption/desorption technique, and UV–Vis spectroscopy. TiO 2 nanotubes containing 30 wt% g-C 3 N 4 (H30%) showed the highest photocatalytic performance due to the simultaneous effects of high surface area and band-gap structure; however, the photocatalytic activity decreased after the silane functionalization of H30%. Then, epoxy coatings containing H30% and silane functionalized H30% in different amounts (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt%) were prepared, and their corrosion resistance was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in NaCl solution. The results revealed that the epoxy coatings containing 0.3 wt% hybrids have higher corrosion resistance than that of the neat coating, and silane-functionalized nanofillers more effectively enhance the corrosion resistance. However, when these nanocomposite coatings are irradiated with visible light , their corrosion protection performance remarkably reduces owing to the degradation of organic matrix by the oxidizing radicals formed on the photocatalytic hybrid surface.
