Article Abstract
The crystallized free-standing through-hole TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) membranes were fabricated by a facile method. CdS quantum dots (QDs) are assembled onto free-standing through-hole NTAs films using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) process. The CdS/TNAs were easily transferred to the fluorine-doped tin oxide glass to form photoanodes after they were sensitized by modifying the traditional procedure. The morphology and crystalline phase of the TiO2 nanotubes were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The cells with 5 SILAR cycles show photovoltaic conversion efficiency as high as 3.34% under simulated sunlight (AM 1.5, 100 mW x cm(-2)). Obviously, the new approach promotes the uniform distribution of CdS on the densely aligned TNAs and prevents the clogging of CdS quantum dots (QDs) at the TiO2 nanotube mouth. Such enhanced properties may be ascribed to the strong combination between CdS and TiO2, favorable for charge separation of TNAs.

This work presents the development of a highly sensitive, selective, and efficient aptamer-based fluorescent sensor for detecting cortisol in human urine. Carbon quantum dots-nucleic acid aptamer (CQDs-Apt) synthesized with excellent photoluminescent properties and stability, were selected as the fluorescent probe. In the presence of MoS-NSs, CQDs-Apt adsorbed onto the surface of MoS-NSs via electrostatic and π-π interactions, leading to strong and rapid fluorescence quenching due to static quenching mechanism between them.

Photoreforming of biomass presents a promising approach for sustainable H production by utilizing renewable solar energy under ambient conditions. However, its application is often limited by the poor solubility of biomass-derived substrates. Herein, this challenge is addressed by synthesizing hydrophilic, electron-rich pyridine-based glycopolymers via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization, followed by deacetylation of glucose- and maltose-based segments.

Background: Hexavalent chromium ions (Cr(VI)), a notorious toxic heavy metal pollutant with proven carcinogenicity, endangers human health and the environment. Meanwhile, l-ascorbic acid (L-AA), a vital biological antioxidant, has abnormal levels closely tied to various diseases. Developing efficient synchronous detection methods for these two key analytes is of great value in clinical and environmental monitoring.

A novel ternary synergistic photoelectrochemical (PEC) probe is presented utilizing metal-organic framework (MOF)-templated Pd/CdS@CoS nanocages for sensing chlorpyrifos (CPF) using chronoamperometry under an applied bias of - 65 mV with 465-nm LED illumination. Derived from ZIF-67 via in situ sulfidation, the hollow nanocage architecture integrated CdS nanoparticles with CoS to form a direct Z-scheme heterojunction, while decorating Pd quantum dots (QDs) created a Schottky barrier, implementing a crucial dual charge-transfer enhancement strategy. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations confirmed a 0.

Contamination by Bacillus anthracis in food and the environment poses a significant public health risk to both humans and animals, with dipicolinic acid (DPA) serving as an effective biomarker for its detection. In this work, a novel AI-assisted near-infrared ratiometric fluorescent sensing system based on rapid coordination cross-linking and multiple fluorescence response mechanisms was proposed for ultrafast and portable visual detection of Bacillus anthracis biomarkers. A near-infrared (NIR) ratiometric fluorescent probe with multiple fluorescence response mechanisms was developed for sensitive detection of DPA, using carbon dots (B-CDs) and CdTe quantum dots (QD686).
