Article Abstract

Due to the low concentration of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in plasma and the high content of interfering factors, the conventional detection method for the quantification of Aβ still faces the problem of insufficient limit of detection (LOD). In this work, we propose a new light-triggered graphene-black phosphorus heterostructure (G-BP) field-effect transistor (FET) biosensing platform that achieves a ​​marked​​ reduction in the LOD. The LOD for Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarker Aβ detection using the G-BP FET is as low as 235.1 zM (2.351 × 10 M), which is the lowest value reported to date and is approximately 2 to 3 orders of magnitude lower than other reported biosensing platforms. The G-BP FET platform provides precise, real-time guidance for non-invasive early diagnosis, disease monitoring, and personalized treatment plans for AD. Moreover, this method has good scalability and potential applications in other areas, including early detection of cancer and other major chronic diseases.

Two-dimensional black phosphorus (BP or phosphorene) has drawn significant interest in alkali metal ion storage due to its capacity to adsorb alkali atoms and high theoretical prediction of specific capacity. But the problem persists in large-scale production of the nanoscale BP, low electronic conductivity, considerable volume change (≈300%), and polyphosphide-induced shuttle effect. To solve this problem, a single-step lasing method is employed to prepare nanoscale BP covalently bound to the sp2 bonded carbon framework through a P─O─C/P─C bond.

Urea electrosynthesis from the coelectrolysis of CO and NO (UECN) has emerged as a promising sustainable alternative to traditional energy-intensive methods; however, the rational design of advanced electrocatalysts capable of achieving concurrent optimization of Faradaic efficiency (FE) and urea yield rates continues to pose a fundamental challenge in this field. Herein, we developed a phosphorus-doped Cu/FeO electrocatalyst (denoted as P-Cu/FeO), where phosphorus atoms partially substitute for oxygen atoms within the Cu/FeO heterostructure. This engineered electrocatalyst achieves exceptional urea electrosynthesis performance, delivering a very high Faradaic efficiency of 73.

Proximity-Induced Ferroelectric Switching in Wurtzite/Fluorite Bilayers for High-Performance Ferroelectric Field-Effect Transistor.

Proximity ferroelectricity, wherein polarization switching in one ferroelectric layer with a lower energy barrier can trigger switching in an adjacent ferroelectric with a higher energy barrier, has been demonstrated only in bilayers composed of structurally similar wurtzite-structured materials. This work demonstrates proximity-induced ferroelectric switching across a heterostructure composed of crystallographically and functionally dissimilar materials, wurtzite-structured AlScN and fluorite-structured HfZrO. The AlScN/HfZrO and AlN/HfZrO bilayers exhibit cooperative switching dynamics despite their contrasting symmetry and polarization behaviors.

Although lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) dominate the commercial energy storage market, the prevailing graphite anode is approaching its theoretical capacity limit. Alloy-type anode materials like black phosphorus (BP) offer high theoretical capacity and intrinsic conductivity, but suffer from severe volume expansion and resultant structural instability. Here, an in situ vitrification strategy is reported to construct a composite anode material by integrating BP, Ketjenblack, and single wall carbon nanotube into a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) glass matrix.
