Article Abstract
The interfacial barrier of charge transfer from semiconductors to cocatalysts means that the photogenerated charges cannot be fully utilized, especially for the challenging water oxidation reaction. Using cobalt cubane molecules (Co O ) as water oxidation cocatalysts, we rationally assembled partially oxidized graphene (pGO), acting as a charge-transfer mediator, on the hole-accumulating {-101} facets of lead chromate (PbCrO ) crystal. The assembled pGO enables preferable immobilization of Co O molecules on the {-101} facets of the PbCrO crystal, which is favorable for the photogenerated holes transferring from PbCrO to Co O molecules. The surface charge-transfer efficiency of PbCrO was boosted by selective assembly of pGO between PbCrO and Co O molecules. An apparent quantum efficiency for photocatalytic water oxidation on the Co O /pGO/PbCrO photocatalyst exceeded 10 % at 500 nm. This strategy of rationally assembling charge-transfer mediator provides a feasible method for acceleration of charge transfer and utilization in semiconductor photocatalysis.

Bimorph soft actuators, traditionally composed of two materials with distinct responses to external stimuli, often face durability challenges due to structural incompatibility. Here, we propose an alternative design employing free-standing, isostructural heterogeneous Janus (IHJ) films that harmonize stability with high actuation efficiency. These IHJ films were fabricated through a vacuum self-assembly process, consisting of TiCT MXene nanosheets and hybrid graphene oxide (GO)-biomass bacterial cellulose (BC), with a well-matched two-dimensional lattice structure.

The denitrogenation of tetrazoles is typically performed using transition-metal catalysts at high temperatures due to the inherent stability of the tetrazole group. In this work, we present, for the first time, an electrochemical method for denitrogenating tetrazoles at room temperature. This method employs a sacrificial zinc anode and a platinum cathode in a solvent mixture of acetonitrile and water under a constant current in an undivided cell.

Nitrogen (N) fixation with non-thermal plasmas has been proposed as a sustainable alternative to meet growing N fertilizer demands for agriculture. This technology generates Plasma Activated Water (PAW) with a range of chemical compositions, including different concentrations of nitrate (NO₃⁻) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), among other compounds. Potential use of PAW as an effective crop fertilizer necessitates a robust understanding of the underlying biology of the plant, which is not yet available.

The protocol presented here enables the quantification of microplastics (MPs) as small as ~1 µm in diameter, accurate identification of polymer types, and estimation of particle volume, critically allowing for the calculation of MP mass. Representative results from samples collected in the Great South Bay (GSB), NY, showed that particles within the 1-6 µm equivalent spherical diameter (ESD) range were the most abundant, with approximately 75% of particles measuring less than 5 µm. Notably, the pre-sieving step failed to yield any particles larger than 60 µm, suggesting that large MPs were rare at the coastal sites sampled.

The anaerobic glycyl radical enzyme choline trimethylamine-lyase (CutC) is produced by multiple bacterial species in the human gut microbiome and catalyzes the conversion of choline to trimethylamine (TMA) and acetaldehyde. CutC has emerged as a promising therapeutic target due to its role in producing TMA, which is subsequently oxidized in the liver to form trimethylamine--oxide (TMAO). Elevated TMAO levels are associated with several human diseases, including atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular disorders─a leading cause of mortality worldwide.
