A simple dual-signal assay that combined colorimetric and fluorometric strategy for uric acid (UA) rapid detection was designed based on the versatility of facile synthesized MnO nanosheet. The oxidization of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and the fluorescence quenching of quantum dots (QDs) occurred simultaneously in the presence of MnO nanosheet. UA could decompose MnO nanosheet into Mn, resulting in the fluorescence recovery of QDs, along with the fading of the blue color of ox TMB. Based on the principles above, the detection of UA could be realized by the change of the dual signals (colorimetric and fluorometric). The linear range of the colorimetric mode was 5-60 μmol L, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 2.65 μmol L; the linear range of the fluorescence mode was wide at 5-120 μmol L, and the LOD could be as low as 1.33 μmol L. The method was successfully used for analyzing UA levels in human serum samples, indicating that this new dual-signal method could be applied in clinical diagnosis.

Introduction: Manganese-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) play a critical role in converting soluble Mn(II) to insoluble Mn(III/IV) oxides, which have been widely applied for environmental remediation, particularly in heavy metal pollution control. Therefore, the discovery of novel MOB strains is of great significance for advancing pollution mitigation and ecosystem restoration.
Methods: In this study, a manganese-oxidizing bacterial strain was isolated from Mn-contaminated soil near an electroplating factory using selective LB medium supplemented with 10 mmol/L manganese chloride (MnCl), and the Leucoberbelin Blue (LBB) assay was employed to screen and identify strains with strong Mn(II)-oxidation ability.

Eu-MOF with rhomboid structure and strong fluorescence was successfully synthesized in this work. By combining fluorescent Eu-MOF with peroxidase mimic MnO nanosheets, a novel ratiometric fluorescence sensing method was developed for the sensitive detection of piceatannol (PCT), a naturally occurring stilbene-type polyphenolic compound. The sensing mechanism relies on the strong antioxidant ability of PCT, which reductively decomposes MnO nanosheets into Mn and results in the attenuation of the fluorescence intensity of the o-phenylenediamine (OPD) oxidation product and the concomitant recovery of Eu-MOF fluorescence.

The fungicidal efficacy of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) on fungal biosynthetic pathways and metabolic processes has been well-documented, but the precise modulation of •OH generation remains a significant challenge. Herein, we engineered a dual-cocatalyst-modified BiFeO (BFO) system by loading Au nanoparticles on (010) facets and MnO nanosheets on (100) facets. Au/MnO/BFO demonstrates a 4.

Manganese dioxide (MnO)-based heterogeneous catalysts have gained significant attention in nanozyme research due to their exceptional oxidase-mimicking capabilities. This work reports the rational design of MnO functionalized magnetic carbon nanotubes (FeO@C@MnO) through a multistep synthesis strategy. The magnetic N-doped hollow carbon substrate (FeO@C) was first synthesized via controlled pyrolysis of FeOOH-coated polydopamine precursors.
