In this study, we developed a portable electrochemical sensor for realizing the pesticide residue in biological, environmental, and vegetable samples. A lower concentration of carbendazim pesticide (CBZ) was electrochemically exposed by newly developed gadolinium oxide/functionalized carbon nanosphere modified glassy carbon electrode (GdO/f-CNS/GCE). The GdO/f-CNS composite was prepared by two-pot ultrasonic-assisted co-precipitation method and characterized by various physicochemical analytical techniques. In addition, the electrocatalytic activity of the composite was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) towards the detection of CBZ. Besides, the GdO/f-CNS/GCE exhibited excellent electrocatalytic capability and sensitivity towards the oxidation of CBZ due to its high electrochemical active surface area, good conductivity, and fast electron transfer ability. A wide linear range of CBZ (0.5-552 μM) was attained with a low level of detection (LOD) of 0.009 μM L and exceptional stability of 93.41%. The proposed sensor exemplifies practical feasibility in blood serum, water, and vegetable samples with an remarkable recovery range of 96.27-99.44% and primary current response of ∼91% after 15 days.

Emerging nanomedicines that target and disrupt redox homeostasis present a compelling yet technically demanding strategy for cancer therapy. Herein, a multifunctional oxidative stress amplifier, denoted as C-COF@MnO-BSA-FA/Ce6 (CMBFC), was engineered to disrupt redox homeostasis through synergistic mechanisms precisely. The nanoplatform was constructed with a core of N-doped carbon nanospheres derived from covalent organic frameworks (C-COF), which was then coated by an in situ mineralized MnO layer.

In this work, we developed a high-performance electrochemical sensor for sensitive and selective detection of nitrite in environmental and food samples, utilizing bismuth-modified nitrogen-doped molybdenum carbide nanocomposites (Bi@N-Mo₂C) as the active material The nanocomposite was synthesized through a two-step process involving the formation of Bi@PD-Mo hollow spheres via self-assembly polymerization, followed by thermal carbonization to yield Bi@N-Mo₂C. The resulting material was immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode, enhancing electrochemical activity, as confirmed by Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry through its excellent sensitivity, reproducibility, and long-term stability. Sensor exhibited a broad linear detection range (14.

Transition metal selenides have emerged as attractive negative electrode candidates for rechargeable lithium-/sodium-ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs) thanks to their superior theoretical energy storage capability. Unfortunately, their practical application faces significant challenges due to low conductivity, structural degradation from volume changes, and sluggish ion diffusion kinetics. Herein, a nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) coated CuSe-CoSe heterostructure, which is embedded in reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets (CuSe-CoSe@NC@rGO), is synthesized.

Zn metal anodes have emerged as promising candidates for aqueous Zn-based energy storage devices owing to their high theoretical specific capacity, low redox potential, and abundance of raw materials. However, sluggish Zn kinetics and uneven electric-field distribution at the interface between the Zn anode and electrolyte can lead to the formation of harmful Zn dendrites, reducing the cycle life of both the Zn anode and Zn-based devices. Here, a structurally stable rare-earth compound, yttrium fluoride (YF), is introduced as an artificial interfacial layer for Zn anodes to facilitate Zn migration and nucleation.
