In this study, we developed an aptamer-based fluorescent sensing platform for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) based on RecJ exonuclease-assisted signal amplification and interaction between graphene oxide (GO) and the OTA aptamer (OTA-apt). After optimizing the experimental conditions, the present aptamer-based sensing system can exhibit excellent fluorescent response in the OTA assay, with a limit of detection of 0.07 ng/mL. In addition to signal amplification, this strategy is also highly specific for other interfering toxins. Furthermore, this aptasensor can be reliably used for assessing red wine samples spiked with different OTA concentrations (2.4, 6 and 20 ng/mL). The proposed assay plays an important role in the field of food safety and can be transformed for detecting other toxins by replacing the sequence that recognizes the aptamer.

In this study, a MoC-MoO@NCrGO-900 composite catalyst comprising two-dimensional nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (NCrGO) and ultrasmall molybdenum carbide-molybdenum dioxide (MoC-MoO) heterojunctions was synthesized. The optimized catalyst exhibited an outstanding oxidative desulfurization (ODS) performance. Specifically, a model oil containing 4000 ppm sulfur was completely desulfurized within 30 min, with a desulfurization efficiency of 98.

Current detection methods for often suffer from lengthy procedures, significant technical limitations, high probe costs, and poor long-term storage stability. Herein, an "on-off-on" fluorescent probe is developed based on mannose-lectin recognition for the rapid and quantitative detection of . The probe utilizes mannose-grafted carbon dots (g-CDs-M), which specifically recognize through interaction with lectins on its surface.

Confronting the dual challenges of carbon neutrality and sustainable energy, photocatalytic CO reduction requires precise control over product selectivity. This study demonstrates that surface hydroxyl (-OH) density serves as a molecular switch for reaction pathways in graphene oxide/cobalt tetraphenylporphyrin (GO/CoTPP) hybrids. By tuning the reduction degree of GO supports via gradient hydrazine hydrate treatment (0-85%), we constructed catalysts with controlled -OH concentrations.
