Article Abstract

The development of a low-cost hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst is crucial for the implementation of hydrogen production via water electrolysis. Herein, a facile and rapid electrodeposition method to synthesize an ultra-low-loading platinum-based catalyst in a short time of 120 s without any other chemical additive is reported. A functionalized nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube (F-N-CNT) is utilized as a carbon support to controllably and effectively anchor the Pt species. With partially oxidized and unzipped, the surface of F-N-CNT is characterized with zig-zag graphene-like nanodomains, which provide enriched deposition sites for Pt species and act as a buffer preventing the agglomeration and overloading of the Pt. Due to rational design of the interfacial chemical environment, the optimized Pt/F-N-CNTs catalyst possesses an ultra-low loading of 1.37 wt% but delivers a prominent HER activity superior to commercial 20 wt% Pt/C. Therefore, this work provides a novel approach to preparing the Pt-based catalyst with outstanding activity and rational loading.

The rapid advancements in the field of artificial intelligence have intensified the urgent need for low-power, high-speed artificial synaptic devices. Here, a near-infrared (NIR) artificial synaptic device is successfully realized based on pristine InGaAs nanowires (NWs), which achieves a paired-pulse facilitation (PPF) of up to 119%. Additionally, a postsynaptic current (PSC) in memory storage behavior has been implemented by applying different voltage pulses along with continuous illumination of 1064 nm NIR light due to the memristor characteristics of the device.

The residues of antiviral drugs acyclovir (ACV), penciclovir (PCV) and ganciclovir (GCV) in foods, particularly in ready-to-eat products, pose a significant threat to human health, making it urgent to develop a rapid and sensitive method for their detection. Herein, we designed a novel magnetic molecularly imprinted three-dimensional covalent organic framework (MICOF@FeO) for selective extraction of these antiviral drugs from complicated food matrix. The prepared MICOF@FeO integrates molecular recognition ability, 3D COF structural advantages and magnetic responsiveness, providing high selectivity, large adsorption capacity and facile operation for magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE).

Azo dyes, prevalent in various industries, including textile dyeing, food, and cosmetics, pose significant environmental and health risks due to their chemical stability and toxicity. This study introduces the synthesis and application of a copper hydrogen-π-bonded benzoate framework (Cu-HBF) and its derived marigold flower-like copper oxide (MFL-CuO) in a synergetic adsorption-photocatalytic process for efficiently removing cationic azo dyes from water, specifically crystal violet (CV), methylene blue (MB), and rhodamine B (RhB). The Cu-HBF, previously available only in single crystal form, is prepared here as a crystalline powder for the first time, using a low-cost and facile procedure, allowing its application as an adsorbent and also serving as a precursor for synthesizing well-structured copper oxide (MFL-CuO).

The advancement of bioorthogonal cleavage platforms has emerged as a critical frontier in chemical biology, offering precise molecular liberation through physiologically compatible activation mechanisms. Despite its significant potential, ensuring efficacy typically requires rapid reaction kinetics, high-efficiency payload release, and stable reactants; however, relevant reports remain sparse. Herein, we developed a strain-promoted alkyne-nitrone cycloaddition (SPANC)-based click-release chemistry through installation of a carbamate-linked release moiety at the propargyl position of cyclooctyne, triggering a spontaneous elimination following click cycloaddition to achieve efficient payload liberation.
