Article Abstract
Surgical site infection (SSI) significantly affects patient recovery time, health outcomes and quality of life which is closely associated with the use of implants or mesh. Sutures are the most frequently used implants that play a significant role in the development of SSI. Studies have demonstrated that the administration of effective bactericidal and anti-inflammatory treatments can significantly decrease the incidence of SSI. To address this concern, a versatile suture was engineered by coating MoO nanodots in this study. The incorporation of MoO nanodots endowed the suture with desirable antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that were evaluated in in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results showed its remarkable ability to facilitate wound healing and prevent SSI through its dual action of combating bacterial infection and reducing inflammation. These findings highlight the promising potential of this multifunctional surgical suture as a versatile tool to promote better outcomes in surgical procedures.

Metal sulfides are intensively pursed as promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to their high theoretical capacities, abundant and inexpensive raw materials, however, challenges remain in designing their structures, particularly due to the slow Na⁺ storage kinetics in individual sulfide, and unshaped and inefficient heterostructure persists the issue of low intrinsic ion conductivity. Herein, hollow triple-shell FeS/MoS@NC structure by integrating molecular and microstructural engineering is constructed. The intimate connection between FeS and MoS in FeS/MoS@NC arises from the simultaneous sulfidation of Fe(MoO).

Heterojunctions, particularly those involving BiOBr/BiOI, have attracted significant attention in the field of photocatalysis due to their remarkable properties. In this study, a unique architecture of BiOBr/BiOI was designed to facilitate the rapid transfer of electrons and holes, effectively mitigating the recombination of electron-hole pairs. Accordingly, the BiOBr/BiOI nanosheet heterojunction was anchored on dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS) by the immobilization of BiO nanodots in DFNS and the subsequent reaction with HBr and then HI vapors at room temperature.

High carrier separation efficiency and rapid surface catalytic reaction are crucial for enhancing catalytic CO photoreduction reaction. Herein, integrated surface decoration strategy with oxygen vacancies (Ov) and anchoring CuO (1 < x < 2) nanodots below 10 nm is realized on BiMoO for promoting CO photoreduction performance. The charge interaction between Ov and anchored CuO enables the formation of enhanced internal electric field, which provides a strong driving force for accelerating the separation of photocharge carriers on the surface of BiMoO (η ≈71%).

Xanthine-functionalized molybdenum oxide nanodots (X-MoO NDs) with peroxidase (POD)-like activity were developed for selective, sensitive, and facile colorimetric quantification of xanthine oxidase (XO). Xanthine functionalization can not only be favorable for the successful nanozyme preparation, but also for the specific recognition of XO as well as the simultaneous generation of hydrogen peroxide, which was subsequently transformed into hydroxyl radical to oxidize the chromogenic reagent based on the POD-like catalysis. Under the optimized conditions, the colorimetric biosensing platform was established for XO assay without addition of further substrates, showing good linearity relationship between absorbance difference (ΔA) and XO concentrations in the range 0.
