Magnetic relaxation switch (MRS) sensors based on magnetic nanoparticles have received much attention in the field of environmental monitoring due to their rapid response and resistance to complex matrix interference. However, conventional MRS (cMRS) sensors constructed using magnetic nanoparticles have low sensitivity due to the lower relaxation rate of the magnetic probe. In this study, self-generated porous FeO were employed in the MRS sensors for detection of caffeine, and the regulation of transverse relaxation performance by porous structure has been explored. The abundant porous structure of self-generated porous FeO restricted the diffusion of the surrounding water molecules, and the controllable pore size can effectively adjust the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), as a result, improving the transverse relaxation properties. The developed MRS sensor exhibits a wide linear detection range from 0.5 to 100 ng/mL and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.047 ng/mL for caffeine. The LOD is 12 times lower than that of cMRS sensors. Consequently, the MRS sensor was further applied to the detection of caffeine in surface water samples. The results were consistent with those detected using high-performance liquid chromatography, demonstrating its superior anti-interference ability and the significant potential in environmental monitoring and food safety domains.

Compared to bulk hydrogels, microgels offer distinct advantages for biomedical applications. Their increased modularity and heterogeneity compared to hydrogels, combined with their small size and reversible dynamic bonding, enhance their suitability for minimally invasive cell delivery. Additionally, microgels offer greater control over porosity, resulting in the formation of intricate porous microstructures.

Vanadium-based oxides have garnered significant attention for aqueous zinc batteries (AZBs), whereas sluggish Zn diffusion and structural collapse remain major challenges in achieving high-performance cathodes. Herein, different structures of iron-vanadium oxides were fabricated by modulating the amount of vanadium content. It is found that the porous Mott-Schottky heterojunction composed of FeVO and FeVO mixed phase was used to construct a self-generated FeVO-5 structure, which could lower the diffusion barrier and improve the electron transport derived from the formed built-in electric field at the interface, showing faster reaction kinetics and improved capacity compared with the singe-phase FeVO-1.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing mechanisms based on enzyme-catalyzed strategies primarily achieve the quantitative analysis of biomolecules through the enhancement or attenuation of photocurrent signals. However, there are still no reports that delve into the principles of photocurrent signaling conversion in the reaction between photoactive materials and the biomolecules. In this work, we demonstrated that indium oxysulfide InOS-0.
