Plasma-activated water (PAW), enriched with reactive species such as hydrogen peroxide (HO), presents a sustainable and versatile solution for wastewater treatment, disinfection, agriculture, and biomedical applications. This study investigates the effects of key plasma parameters - treatment time, input power, water purity, and chamber pressure - on HO production. A statistical framework combining response surface methodology (RSM), regression analysis, ANOVA, effect estimation, and marginal means was employed to model and analyze these influences. Among the variables, treatment time had the most significant impact, followed by water purity and input power. Deionised water produced higher HO concentrations due to reduced ion buffering capacity. Under optimised conditions (3 min, 300 W, 100 mmHg), a maximum HO concentration of 35 mg·L⁻¹ was achieved, with an energy efficiency of 42.9 g kWh. Additionally, the energy efficiencies for NO-, NO-, and dissolved O were 73.5, 14.7, and 6 g kWh, respectively. These findings provide valuable insights for tailoring PAW production toward specific oxidative applications.

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is critical to energy conversion technologies and requires efficient catalysts for superior performance. Herein, nitrogen-doped carbide-derived carbon (N-CDC) catalysts are prepared using novel engineered molecular architectures based on polymer-derived ceramic technology. The obtained catalyst materials show a surface N concentration of >5 wt % and a hierarchically porous structure, resulting in a specific surface area of over 2000 m g.

This study presents an eco-friendly approach for the green synthesis of manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnONPs) using () (einkorn wheat) seed extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The synthesized MnONPs were characterized by UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, BET, and zeta potential analyses, which confirmed their crystalline nature, spherical morphology, and mesoporous structure with a surface area of 41.50 m/g.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), leveraging Fenton reactions to generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH) from intracellular hydrogen peroxide (HO), offers a promising cancer treatment strategy due to its high specificity and low systemic toxicity. However, the targeted delivery of •OH-producing prodrugs using covalent organic frameworks (COFs) remains a significant challenge. Here, we report a mitochondria-targeted COF-based nano prodrug, COF-31@P, designed for enhanced CDT efficacy.

Solar-driven photocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction using covalent organic frameworks (COFs) offers a promising approach for sustainable hydrogen peroxide (HO) production. Despite their advantages, the reported COFs-based photocatalysts suffer insufficient photocatalytic HO efficiency due to the mismatched electron-proton dynamics. Herein, we report three one-dimensional (1D) COF photocatalysts for efficient HO production via the hydrogen radical (H•) mediated concerted electron-proton transfer (CEPT) process.

Mechanical stimuli have been shown to dynamically alter solid-liquid interfaces and induce electron transfer, enabling catalytic reactions, most notably contact-electro-catalysis (CEC). However, the underlying mechanism of charge transfer at solid-liquid interfaces under mechanical stimulation remains unclear, particularly at semiconductor-liquid interfaces. To date, rare studies have reported on the catalytic activity of semiconductor-liquid interfaces under mechanical stimulation.
