Article Abstract
In this study, we present a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on porous silicon microcavities (PSiMCs) decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for ultra-sensitive molecule detection. This substrate utilizes a dual enhancement mechanism: the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of AgNPs and the optical resonance of the PSiMC structure, which together create intense electromagnetic hot spots and prolong photon-molecule interactions. The porous architecture provides a large surface area for uniform nanoparticle distribution and efficient analyte adsorption. The AgNP/PSiMC substrate demonstrates an impressive detection limit of 1.0 × 10 M for rhodamine101 and 1.0 × 10 M for methyl parathion, outperforming many previously reported SERS platforms. Furthermore, the substrate exhibits excellent signal uniformity (RSD ≈ 6.14%) and long-term stability, retaining over 50% signal intensity after 28 days. These results underscore the potential of AgNP/PSiMCs as highly efficient, reproducible, and scalable SERS platforms for trace-level chemical and environmental sensing applications.

Introduction: During the healing process, the functional gradient attachment of the rotator cuff (RC) tendon-bone interface fails to regenerate, which severely impedes load transfer and stress dissipation, thereby increasing the risk of retears. As a result, the treatment of rotator cuff tears remains a significant clinical challenge.
Methods: In this study, a dual-crosslinked hyaluronic acid/polyethylene glycol (HA/PEG) hydrogel scaffold was synthesized using hyaluronic acid and polyethylene glycol as base materials.

In this study, a silicon carbide (SiC) mixed-matrix membrane for oil-water separation was successfully fabricated within the nanofiltration range. Silicon carbide was synthesized using rice husk ash (RHA), an agricultural waste material, combined with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and subsequently incorporated into a mixed matrix membrane for oil-water separation. Polysulfone (PSF) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were employed as polymer supports for fabricating the SiC-based mixed matrix membrane, which was tested in a dead-end filtration setup.

The selective reduction of to formate using molecular catalysts immobilized on high surface area porous silicon is described. Manganese complexes of the form (bpy)Mn(CO)Br (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) were prepared with silatrane groups on the bpy ligand for attachment to oxide-coated porous silicon (SiO-porSi). SiO-porSi wafers were formed by heating hydrogen-terminated p-type porous silicon wafers under air and the manganese complexes were immobilized on SiO-porSi by heating at 80 °C.

The limited activity and poor long-term stability of oxygen electrocatalysts remain major obstacles to the practical deployment of zinc-air batteries (ZABs). Herein, a heterostructure catalyst, FeNi-LDH@DACs, was constructed by anchoring ultrasmall FeNi layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanodots onto polyhedral FeNi dual-atomic catalysts (DACs), forming a "sesame-ball-like" architecture. This spatial arrangement enables interfacial coupling, where electron transfer from LDH to DACs modulates the d-band center of the FeNi atomic sites and adjusts the adsorption energies of oxygen intermediates.

The practical applications of enzymes often require their immobilization for multiple recycling or long-term running. However, practically efficient enzyme immobilization methods are lacking. Herein, we present an enzyme immobilization approach by engineering a porous "interphase" between water and oil around the surfaces of Pickering emulsion droplets.
