Visualizing redox-active metal ions, such as Fe and Fe ions, are essential for understanding their roles in biological processes and human diseases. Despite the development of imaging probes and techniques, imaging both Fe and Fe simultaneously in living cells with high selectivity and sensitivity has not been reported. Here, we selected and developed DNAzyme-based fluorescent turn-on sensors that are selective for either Fe or Fe, revealing a decreased Fe/Fe ratio during ferroptosis and an increased Fe/Fe ratio in Alzheimer's disease mouse brain. The elevated Fe/Fe ratio was mainly observed in amyloid plaque regions, suggesting a correlation between amyloid plaques and the accumulation of Fe and/or conversion of Fe to Fe. Our sensors can provide deep insights into the biological roles of labile iron redox cycling.

Mental health disorders (MHD) are conditions marked by disturbances in thinking, mood, or behavior that can cause significant distress or impair daily functioning. Diagnosis remains challenging, particularly in precision medicine, due to the scarcity of reliable biomarkers as objective diagnostic tools and external validators. This study investigates essential trace metals, cofactors in vital enzymes, as potential biomarkers for MHD.

The nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), as an efficient and green pathway for ammonia synthesis, plays a crucial role in achieving on-demand ammonia production. This study proposes a novel design concept based on dual-iron atomic sites and nitrogen-boron co-doped graphene (FeNB@G) catalysts, exploring their high efficiency in the NRR. By modulating the NB co-doped ratios, we found that the FeNB@G catalyst exhibited significant activity in the adsorption and hydrogenation of N molecules, especially with the lowest free energy (0.

This work presents a comprehensive reaction and kinetic model of the pyrite thin films formation by sulfuration of Fe monosulfides when a molecular sulfur (S) atmosphere is used. This investigation completes the results already published on the explanation and interpretation of the sulfuration process that transforms metallic iron into pyrite. It was previously shown that the monosulfide species (i.

Commercial hard carbon (HC) anode suffers from unexpected interphase chemistry rooted in the parasitic reactions between surface oxygen-functional groups and ester-based electrolytes. Herein, an innovative strategy is proposed to regulate interphase chemistry by tailoring targeted functional groups on the HC surface, where highly active undesirable oxygen-functional groups are skillfully converted into a Si-O-Si molecular layer favorable for anchoring anions. Then, an inorganic/organic hybrid solid electrolyte interphase with low interfacial charge transfer resistance and enhanced cycling durability is constructed successfully.
