Article Abstract

The oxygen vacancies of defective iron-cobalt oxide (FeCoO -Vo) nanosheets are modified by the homogeneously distributed sulfur (S) atoms. S atoms can not only effectively stabilize oxygen vacancies (Vo), but also form the Co-S coordination with Co active site in the Vo, which can modulate the electronic structure of the active site, enabling FeCoO -Vo-S to exhibit much superior OER activity. FeCoO -Vo-S exhibits a mass activity of 2440.0 A g at 1.5 V vs. RHE in 1.0 m KOH, 25.4 times higher than that of RuO . The Tafel slope is as low as 21.0 mV dec , indicative of its excellent charge transfer rate. When FeCoO -Vo-S (anode catalyst) is paired with the defective CoP /Ni P (cathode catalyst) for overall water splitting, current densities of as high as 249.0 mA cm and 406.0 mA cm at a cell voltage of 2.0 V and 2.3 V, respectively, can be achieved.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) significantly impact air quality as photochemical smog precursors and health hazards. Catalytic oxidation is a leading VOC abatement method but suffers from catalyst deactivation due to metal sintering and competitive adsorption in complex mixtures. Strong metal-support interactions (SMSIs) provide atomic level control of interfacial electronic and geometric structures.

Amorphous Silica Induced Loose CeO Clusters with Isolated Pt Atoms for Efficient Reverse-Water Gas Shift Reaction.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

September 2025

College of Polymer Science and Engineering, State Key Laboratory of Advanced Polymer Materials, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610065, China.

Pt-based catalysts exhibit extraordinary potential in reverse-water gas shift (RWGS) reactions, but often fail to possess a high reaction rate and high durability at the same time under high temperature. Herein, we designed a SiO-induced loose CeO as an effective capture for Pt atoms. The abundant surface O vacancies in the loose CeO can trigger significant electron transfer from Pt to CeO and play a crucial role in stabilizing Pt atoms, therefore, largely improving its thermal stability.

A dual-mode aptasensor was engineered for aflatoxin B (AFB) detection by functional integration of peroxidase-mimetic Au@CeO core-shell nanostructures with emissive carbon dots (CDs). The Au@CeO nanocomposite, synthesized via spontaneous redox reaction, exhibited enhanced peroxidase-like activity due to abundant Ce/oxygen vacancies facilitating hydroxyl radical generation. The aptasensor utilizes a competitive binding mechanism, where AFB competed with immobilized Au@CeO-CDs-Apt1 probes for binding sites, resulting in inversely proportional colorimetric and fluorescent signals.

Implant-related infections (IRIs) pose a major challenge in orthopedic applications due to the persistence of biofilms, which are highly resistant to conventional antibiotics. This study introduces oxygen vacancy-engineered Zn-Fe spinel nanoparticles as microwave-responsive antibacterial agents. The oxygen vacancies in the spinel structure enhance reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation under microwave irradiation, providing a dual-mode antibacterial mechanism of thermal and oxidative stress.

Constructing robust electrocatalysts and shedding light on the processes of surface reconstruction is crucial for sustained hydrogen production and a deeper understanding of catalytic behavior. Here, a novel ZIF-67-derived lanthanum- and phosphorus-co-doped CoO catalyst (La, P-CoO) has been reported. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) confirms that the La and P co-doping reduces the coordination number (CN), improves oxygen vacancies (O), and leads to lattice distortion.
