Article Abstract

For the first time potassium single-atoms (K SA) are explored as the sensing material to boost electrochemical sensing of hydrogen peroxide (HO). The N-doped carbon material with a three-dimensional porous structure (3D NG) was prepared using NaCl as the template, and K SA were anchored to the surface of 3D NG through high-temperature pyrolysis. The structure of K SA/3D NG was characterized by TEM, HAADF-STEM, XPS, and XRD. The results of electrochemical studies indicate that K SA play a crucial role in promoting the electrocatalytic reduction of HO, which not only optimized the adsorption strength for HO but also improved the electron transfer rate, therefore improving the sensitivity for detecting HO. This study demonstrates the excellent electrocatalytic activity of K SA, which provides a promising sensing material for the detection of HO and lays the foundation for the application of alkali metal single-atoms in the field of electrochemical sensing.

Electrochemical sensors capable of detecting different types of biomolecules using a single electrode are highly desirable for simplifying analytical platforms and expanding their practical applicability. Herein, we develop a multifunctional electrochemical sensor based on a 3D honeycomb-like porous rGO/PPy-POM composite film for the independent detection of dopamine (DA) and folic acid (FA), two chemically distinct and clinically relevant biomolecules. The electrode is fabricated through a facile, low-cost, and environmentally friendly breath figure method to create a 3D porous reduced graphene oxide (rGO) framework, followed by codeposition of polypyrrole (PPy) and polyoxometalates (POMs).

At present, flexible sensors are a hot spot in research and experimental development, but the research on flexible sensors that can be used for human motion monitoring still needs to be deepened. In this work, the green material cellulose acetate (CA) was used as the matrix material, the film was made by electrospinning, crushed by a cell grinder and sodium alginate (SA) was added to promote the uniform dispersion of nanofibers in water, and then methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) and MXene nanosheet dispersion were added to make it hydrophobic and good conductivity, and the aerogel precursor solution was prepared, and then the CA/SA/MTMS/MXene aerogel with directional holes was prepared by directional freeze-drying. As a flexible sensor material, it can be used for human wear, monitoring the electrical signals generated by the movement of human joints and other parts, and can still maintain a current of about 0.

Strain sensors have received considerable attention in personal healthcare due to their ability to monitor real-time human movement. However, the lack of chemical sensing capabilities in existing strain sensors limits their utility for continuous biometric monitoring. Although the development of dual wearable sensors capable of simultaneously monitoring human motion and biometric data presents significant challenges, the ability to fabricate these sensors with geometries tailored to individual users is highly desirable.

Airborne pathogens and pollution control typically necessitate multiple membranes, each specializing in efficient aerosol filtration, moisture regulation, or antimicrobial protection. Integrating all these functions into a single membrane is highly advantageous but remains inherently challenging due to material incompatibility and inevitable performance trade-offs. Here, we present a photoactive Janus nanofibrous membrane for highly efficient air purification, engineered via sequential electrospinning.
