Constructing Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Hierarchy Structure Derived from Metal-Organic Framework as High-Performance ORR Cathode Material for Zn-Air Battery.

The development of efficient and low-cost catalysts for cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in Zn-air battery (ZAB) is a key factor in reducing costs and achieving industrialization. Here, a novel segregated CoNiPt alloy embedded in N-doped porous carbon with a nanoflowers (NFs)-like hierarchy structure is synthesized through pyrolyzing Hofmann-type metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The unique hierarchical NFs structure exposes more active sites and facilitates the transportation of reaction intermediates, thus accelerating the reaction kinetics. Impressively, the resulting 15% CoNiPt@C NFs catalyst exhibits outstanding alkaline ORR activity with a half-wave potential of 0.93 V, and its mass activity is 7.5 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C catalyst, surpassing state-of-the-art noble metal-based catalysts. Furthermore, the assembled CoNiPt@C+RuO2 ZAB demonstrates a maximum power density of 172 mW cm-2 , which is superior to that of commercial Pt/C+RuO2 ZAB. Experimental results reveal that the intrinsic ORR mass activity is attributed to the synergistic interaction between oxygen defects and pyrrolic/graphitic N species, which optimizes the adsorption energy of the intermediate species in the ORR process and greatly enhances catalytic activity. This work provides a practical and feasible strategy for synthesizing cost-effective alkaline ORR catalysts by optimizing the electronic structure of MOF-derived catalysts.

Multifunctional DNA Nanoflower Applied for High Specific Photodynamic Cancer Therapy In Vivo.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a newly emerged strategy for disease treatment. One challenge of the application of PDT drugs is the side-effect caused by the non-specificity of the photosensitive molecules. Most of the photosensitizers may invade not only the pathogenic cells but also the normal cells. In recent, people tried to use special cargoes to deliver the drugs into target cells. DNA nanoflowers (NFs) are a kind of newly-emerged nanomaterial which constructed through DNA rolling cycle amplification (RCA) reaction. It is reported that the DNA NFs were suitable materials which have been widely applied as nanocargos for drug delivery in cancer chemotherapeutic treatment. In this paper, we have introduced a new multifunctional DNA NF which could be prepared through an one-pot RCA reaction. This proposed DNA NF contained a versatile AS1411 G-quadruplex moiety, which plays key roles not only for specific recognition of cancer cells but also for near-infrared ray based photodynamic therapy when conjugating with a special porphyrin molecule. We demonstrated that the DNA NF showed good selectivity toward cancer cells, leading to highly efficient photo-induced cytotoxicity. Moreover, the in vivo experiment results suggested this DNA NF is a promising nanomaterial for clinical PDT.

Molybdenum Sulfide Nanoflowers as Electrodes for Efficient and Scalable Lithium-Ion Capacitors.

Hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs) bridge the unique advantages of batteries and capacitors and are considered promising energy storage devices for hybrid vehicles and other electronic gadgets. Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have attained particular interest due to their higher energy and power density than traditional supercapacitor devices. The limited voltage window and the deterioration of anode materials upsurged the demand for efficient and stable electrode materials. Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) is a promising candidate for developing efficient and durable LICs due to its wide lithiation potential and unique layer structure, enhancing charge storage efficiency. Modifying the extrinsic features, such as the dimensions and shape at the nanoscale, serves as a potential path to overcome the sluggish kinetics observed in the LICs. Herein, the MoS2 nanoflowers have been synthesized through a hydrothermal route. The developed LIC exhibited a specific capacitance of 202.4 F g-1 at 0.25 A g-1 and capacitance retention of >90 % over 5,000 cycles. Using an ether electrolyte improved the voltage window (2.0 V) and enhanced the stability performance. The ex-situ material characterization after the stability test reveals that the storage mechanism in MoS2-LICs is not diffusion-controlled. Instead, the fast surface redox reactions, especially intercalation/deintercalation of ions, are more prominent for charge storage.

Signal-off nanozyme-based colorimetric aptasensor for sensitive detection of ampicillin using MnO2 nanoflowers and gold nanoparticles.

The combination of nanomaterials possessing distinct characteristics and the precision of aptamers facilitates the creation of biosensors that exhibit exceptional selectivity and sensitivity. In this manuscript, we present a highly sensitive aptasensor that utilizes the distinctive characteristics of MnO2 nanoflowers and gold nanoparticles to selectively detect ampicillin (AMP). In this aptasensor, the mechanism of signal change is attributed to the difference in the oxidase-mimicking activity of MnO2 nanoflowers in the presence of a free sequence. The inclusion of AMP hindered the creation of a double-stranded DNA configuration through its binding to the aptamer, resulting in an observable alteration in absorbance. The relative absorbance varied linearly with the concentration of AMP in the range of 70 pM to 10 nM with a detection limit of 21.7 pM. In general, the colorimetric aptasensor that has been developed exhibits exceptional selectivity and remarkable stability. It also demonstrates favorable performance in human serum, making it a highly reliable diagnostic tool. Additionally, its versatility is noteworthy as it holds great potential for detecting various antibiotics present in complex samples by merely replacing the utilized sequences with new ones.

Structure-Function Relationship of Iron Oxide Nanoflowers: Optimal Sizes for Magnetic Hyperthermia Depending on Alternating Magnetic Field Conditions.

Iron oxide nanoflowers (IONFs) that display singular magnetic properties can be synthesized through a polyol route first introduced almost 2 decades ago by Caruntu et al, presenting a multi-core morphology in which several grains (around 10 nm) are attached together and sintered. These outstanding properties are of great interest for magnetic field hyperthermia, which is considered as a promising therapy against cancer. Although of significantly smaller diameter, the specific adsorption rate (SAR) of IONFs reach values as large as for "magnetosomes" that are natural magnetic nanoparticles typically ~40 nm found in certain bacteria, which can be grown artificially but with much lower yield compared to chemical synthesis such as the polyol route. This work aims at better understanding the structure-property relationships, linking the internal IONF nanostructure as observed by HR-TEM to their magnetic properties. A library of mono- and multicore IONFs is presented, with diameters ranging from 11 to 30 nm in a narrow size distribution. More particularly, by relating their structural features to their magnetic properties investigated by utilizing AC magnetometry over a wide range of alternating magnetic field conditions, we showed that the SAR values of all synthesized batches vary with overall diameter and number of constituting cores.

Renovated FeCoP-NC nanospheres wrapped by CoP-NC nanopetals: As a tremendously effectual and robust MOF-assisted electrocatalyst for hydrogen energy production.

The future of energy technology is significantly influenced by hydrogen (H2) energy. However, hydrogen energy production through water-splitting entirely depends on the catalyst's performance. Modifying the morphological structure and increasing the number of active sites by changing the metal composition are pivotal factors in enhancing the catalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this context, we introduce the impact of metal-organic framework (MOF) strategies for decorating CoP petals onto α-Fe2O3 and FeCoP-NC (NC-nitrogen-doped carbon) nanoflowers. This method results in an excellent electrocatalyst for HER. The study demonstrated the influence of different MOF precursors, the impact of calcination temperatures, and the importance of composition percentages in Fe1-xCoxP-NC. As a result, FeCoP-NC shows excellent electrochemical performance potential (η) of 57 mV, a rapid kinetic Tafel value of 61 mV/dec, and remarkable electrochemical stability of around 2000 cycles and 20 h in stand potential. Additionally, the composite has numerous active surfaces at 4.7 mF/cm2 during the electrochemical reactions. This work concludes that MOF-assisted FeCoP-NC nanoflowers are an ideal electrocatalyst for HER in an alkaline medium.

Cotton swabs wrapped with three-dimensional silver nanoflowers as SERS substrates for the determination of food colorant carmine on irregular surfaces.

A lightweight, portable, low-cost, and accessible cotton swab was employed as surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) matrix template. The silver nanoflowers were in situ grown on the surface of cotton swabs to form three-dimensional Ag nanoflower@cotton swabs (AgNF@CS) SERS substrate with high-density and multi-level hot spots. The SERS performance of AgNFs@CS substrates with various reaction time was systematically studied. The optimal AgNF-120@CS SERS substrate exhibits superior detection sensitivity of 10-10 M for methylene blue, good signal reproducibility, high enhancement factor of 1.4 × 107, and excellent storage stability (over 30 days). Moreover, the AgNF-120@CS SERS substrate also exhibits prominent detection sensitivity of 10-8 M for food colorant of carmine. Besides, the portable AgNF-120@CS SERS substrate is also capable of detecting food colorant residues on irregular food surfaces.

A sensitive gold nanoflower-based lateral flow assay coupled with gold staining technique for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen.

An enhanced lateral flow assay (LFA) is presented for rapid and highly sensitive detection of acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) antigens with gold nanoflowers (Au NFs) as signaling markers and gold enhancement to amplify the signal intensities. First, the effect of the morphology of gold nanomaterials on the sensitivity of LFA detection was investigated. The results showed that Au NFs prepared by the seed growth method showed a 5-fold higher detection sensitivity than gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) of the same particle size, which may benefit from the higher extinction coefficient and larger specific surface area of Au NFs. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the Au NFs-based LFA exhibited a detection limit (LOD) of 25 pg mL-1 for N protein using 135 nm Au NFs as the signaling probes. The signal was further amplified by using a gold enhancement strategy, and the LOD for the detection of N protein achieved was 5 pg mL-1. The established LFA also exhibited good repeatability and stability and showed applicability in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Rational design of EDTA-incorporated nanoflowers as novel and effective endodontic disinfection against biofilms.

The ethylenediaminetetradiacetic acid (EDTA) is one of the most commonly used irrigation solutions. Although EDTA has a very low antimicrobial property, it is used to remove inorganic part of smear layer in areas of root canal system. Herein, we developed EDTA-incorporated nanoflowers (EDTA NFs), for the first time, as novel and effective irrigation solution with quite high antimicrobial property to provide complete disinfection in root canal system. We both systematically elucidated the formation of the EDTA NFs with various techniques, and their catalytic and antimicrobial activities in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were documented through intrinsic EDTA property and peroxidase-like activities.

Highly Sensitive and Selective Toluene Gas Sensors Based on ZnO Nanoflowers Decorated with Bimetallic AuPt.

Efficient sensors for toluene detecting are urgently needed to meet people's growing demands for both environment and personal health. Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS)-based sensors have become brilliant candidates for the detection of toluene because of their superior performance over gas sensing. However, gas sensors based on pure MOS have certain limitations in selectivity, operating temperature, and long-term stability, which hinders their further practical applications. Noble metals (including Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, etc.) have the ability to enhance the performance of MOS-based sensors via surface functionalization. Herein, ZnO nanoflowers (ZNFs) modified with bimetallic AuPt are prepared for toluene detection through hydrothermal method. The response of a AuPt@ZNF-based gas sensor can reach 69.7 at 175 °C, which is 30 times, 9 times, and 10 times higher than that of the original ZNFs, Au@ZNFs, and Pt@ZNFs, respectively. Furthermore, the sensor also has a lower optimal operating temperature (175 °C), good stability (94% of previous response after one month), and high selectivity towards toluene, which is the result of the combined influence of the electronic and chemical sensitization of noble metals, as well as the unique synergistic effect of the AuPt alloy. In summary, AuPt@ZNF-based sensors can be further applied in toluene detection in practical applications.

Experimental and Computational Analysis of Synthesis Conditions of Hybrid Nanoflowers for Lipase Immobilization.

This work presents a framework for evaluating hybrid nanoflowers using Burkholderia cepacia lipase. It was expanded on previous findings by testing lipase hybrid nanoflowers (hNF-lipase) formation over a wide range of pH values (5-9) and buffer concentrations (10-100 mM). The free enzyme activity was compared with that of hNF-lipase. The analysis, performed by molecular docking, described the effect of lipase interaction with copper ions. The morphological characterization of hNF-lipase was performed using scanning electron microscopy. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy performed the physical-chemical characterization. The results show that all hNF-lipase activity presented values higher than that of the free enzyme. Activity is higher at pH 7.4 and has the highest buffer concentration of 100 mM. Molecular docking analysis has been used to understand the effect of enzyme protonation on hNF-lipase formation and identify the main the main binding sites of the enzyme with copper ions. The hNF-lipase nanostructures show the shape of flowers in their micrographs from pH 6 to 8. The spectra of the nanoflowers present peaks typical of the amide regions I and II, current in lipase, and areas with P-O vibrations, confirming the presence of the phosphate group. Therefore, hNF-lipase is an efficient biocatalyst with increased catalytic activity, good nanostructure formation, and improved stability.

Novel TiO2-Supported Gold Nanoflowers for Efficient Photocatalytic NOx Abatement.

In this study, we pioneered the synthesis of nanoflower-shaped TiO2-supported Au photocatalysts and investigated their properties. Au nanoflowers (Au NFs) were prepared by a Na-citrate and hydroquinone-based preparation method, followed by wet impregnation of the derived Au NFs on the surface of TiO2 nanorods (TNR). A uniform and homogeneous distribution of Au NFs was observed in the TNR + NF(0.7) sample (lower Na-citrate concentration), while their distribution was heterogeneous in the TNR + NF(1.4) sample (higher Na-citrate concentration). The UV-Vis DR spectra revealed the size- and shape-dependent optical properties of the Au NFs, with the LSPR effect observed in the visible region. The solid-state EPR spectra showed the presence of Ti3+, oxygen vacancies and electron interactions with organic compounds on the catalyst surface. In the case of the TNR + NF(0.7) sample, high photocatalytic activity was observed in the H2-assisted reduction of NO2 to N2 at room temperature under visible-light illumination. In contrast, the TNR + NF(1.4) catalyst as well as the heat-treated samples showed no ability to reduce NO2 under visible light, indicating the presence of deformed Au NFs limiting the LSPR effect. These results emphasized the importance of the choice of synthesis method, as this could strongly influence the photocatalytic activity of the Au NFs.

Electron-Efficient Co-electrosynthesis of Formates from CO2 and Methanol Feedstocks.

The electrochemical conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals using renewable electricity shows significant promise for achieving carbon neutrality and providing alternative energy storage solutions. However, its practical application still faces significant challenges, including high energy consumption, poor selectivity, and limited stability. Here, we propose a hybrid acid/alkali electrolyzer that couples the acidic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) at the cathode with alkaline methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) at the anode. This dual electro-synthesis cell is implemented by developing Bi nanosheets as cathode catalysts and oxide-decorated Cu2Se nanoflowers as anode catalysts, enabling high-efficiency electron utilization for formate production with over 180% coulombic efficiency and more than 90% selectivity for both CO2RR and MOR conversion. The hybrid acid/alkali CO2RR-MOR cell also demonstrates long-term stability exceeding 100 hours of continuous operation, delivers a formate partial current density of 130 mA cm-2 at a voltage of only 2.1 V, and significantly reduces electricity consumption compared to the traditional CO2 electrolysis system. This study illuminates an innovative electron-efficiency and energy-saving techniques for CO2 electrolysis, as well as the development of highly efficient electrocatalysts.

Facile Synthesis of Self-Targeted Zn2+ -Gallic acid Nanoflowers for Specific Adhesion and Elimination of Gram-Positive Bacteria.

Transition metal ions are served as disinfectant thousand years ago. However, the in vivo antibacterial application of metal ions is strongly restricted due to its high affinity with proteins and lack of appropriate bacterial targeting method. Herein, for the first time, Zn2+ -gallic acid nanoflowers (ZGNFs) are synthesized by a facile one-pot method without additional stabilizing agents. ZGNFs are stable in aqueous solution while can be easily decomposed in acidic environments. Besides, ZGNFs can specifically adhere onto Gram-positive bacteria, which is mediated by the interaction of quinone from ZGNFs and amino groups from teichoic acid of Gram-positive bacteria. ZGNFs exhibit high bactericidal effect toward various Gram-positive bacteria in multiple environments, which can be ascribed to the in situ Zn2+ release on bacterial surface. Transcriptome studies reveal that ZGNFs can disorder basic metabolic processes of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Moreover, in a MRSA-induced keratitis model, ZGNFs exhibit long-term retention in the infected corneal site and prominent MRSA elimination efficacy due to the self-targeting ability. This research not only reports an innovative method to prepare metal-polyphenol nanoparticles, but also provides a novel nanoplatform for targeted delivery of Zn2+ in combating Gram-positive bacterial infections.

Biomimetic Metal-Pyrimidine Nanoflowers: Enzyme Immobilization Platforms with Boosted Activity.

For the enzyme immobilization platform, enhancing enzyme activity retention while improving enzyme stability remains a challenge for sensitive sensing analysis. Herein, an in situ biomimetic immobilized enzyme carrier (metal-pyrimidine nanoflowers, MPNFs) synthesized by the coordination of DNA base derivative (2-aminopyrimidine) with Zn2+ in the aqueous phase at room temperature is developed. The biocompatibility of 2-aminopyrimidine and the hydrophilicity and green synthetic conditions of MPNFs allows the immobilized enzymes to retain above 91.2% catalytic activity. On this basis, a cascade catalytic platform is constructed by simultaneously immobilizing acetylcholinesterase (AChE), choline oxidase (CHO), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in MPNFs (AChE/CHO/HRP@MPNFs) for organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) colorimetric biosensing detection. The assay could specifically detect parathion-methyl within 13 min with a wider linear range (0.1-1000.0 nm) and a lower limit of detection (LOD) (0.032 nm). The remarkable stability of the immobilized enzymes is also achieved under harsh environments, room temperature storage, and recycling. Furthermore, a portable and cost-effective biosensing platform is developed by integrating AChE/CHO/HRP@MPNFs with a smartphone-assisted paper device for the on-site detection of OPs. Overall, the high catalytic activity retention and the enhanced detection performance demonstrate that MPNF is a robust carrier in enzyme immobilization and holds great promise in biosensing and other field applications.

Label-free colorimetric sensor for Pb2+ determination using catalytic activity of MnO2 nanoflowers and elongated aptamer.

In this study, a label-free aptasensor utilizing colorimetric properties was developed to detect Pb2+ with high sensitivity. The approach involved applying modified aptamer which enhanced the oxidase-mimicking activity of MnO2 nanoflowers. This innovative method provides an efficient means for monitoring Pb2+ ions without requiring any labeling techniques. The fundamental principle of this aptasensor is based on the adsorption of a modified aptamer onto MnO2 nanoflowers' surface, which in turn increases their affinity for chromogenic substrates and enhances their catalytic activity. The proposed aptasensor exploits the high sensitivity due to the extension of the aptamer sequence length by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT). Under optimum experimental conditions, the developed colorimetric aptasensor indicated a linear detection range from 4 to 80 nM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.4 nM. Moreover, the aptasensor successfully monitored Pb2+ in the drinking water, milk and human serum samples. Henceforth, the colorimetric aptasensor exhibited in this study possesses several benefits such as uncomplicated operation, cost-effectiveness, label-free detection and remarkable sensitivity. Thus rendering it a suitable option for analyzing intricate samples.

Dual-signal output fluorescent aptasensor based on DNA programmability and gold nanoflowers for multiple mycotoxins detection.

Herein, a dual-signal output fluorescent aptamer sensor was constructed for the simultaneous detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and ochratoxin A (OTA) using the specific recognition ability of aptamers and the programmability of DNA. A functional capture probe (cDNA) was designed with the black hole quenching motif BHQ1 labeled at the 5' end and biotin (bio) labeled at the 3' end. The fluorescent dye Cy3-labeled aflatoxin B1 aptamer (AFB1-Apt) and the carboxyfluorescein FAM-labeled ochratoxin A aptamer (OTA-Apt) were used as two fluorescent probes. The cDNA is anchored to the quenching material gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) by the action of streptavidin (SA) and biotin. Its ends can be complementarily paired with two fluorescent probe bases to form a double-stranded structure. The fluorescence of Cy3 was quenched by AuNFs, and the fluorescence of FAM was quenched by BHQ1 through the fluorescence energy resonance transfer (FRET) effect, forming a fluorescence quenching system. Due to the high affinity of the target and the aptamer, the structure of the aptamer probe changes and detaches from the sensor when AFB1 and OTA are present, resulting in enhanced fluorescence. Under optimal conditions, the linear range of AFB1 was 0.1-100 ng/mL (R2 = 0.996), the limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 0.014 ng/mL, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.046 ng/mL. The linear range of OTA was 0.1-100 ng/mL (R2 = 0.995), the limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 0.027 ng/mL, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.089 ng/mL. The sensor had high accuracy in detecting both AFB1 and OTA in real sample analysis. The results of the t test show that there is no significant difference between the results of this study and the high-performance liquid phase (HPLC) method, indicating that the prepared sensor can be used as a potential platform for multiple mycotoxins detection.

Ultrafast synthesis of laccase-copper phosphate hybrid nanoflowers for efficient degradation of tetracycline antibiotics.

The presence of antibiotics in the environment causes increasing attention due to their potential risks to ecosystems and public health. Laccases are versatile oxidases capable of degrading various organic contaminants including pharmaceuticals. However, the performance of bacterial laccases on tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) degradation is seldom investigated. In this work, a bacterial laccase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was immobilized as laccase-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (Lac-hNFs) by a facile and rapid method. The immobilized laccase was employed to remove different TCs including tigecycline, which is a third-generation TC that its degradation by laccase has not been reported. Lac-hNFs were synthesized by sonication-mediated self-assembly of laccase and copper ions in 5 min at room temperature. About 95% of laccase could be encapsulated in the nanoflowers, and the obtained Lac-hNFs exhibited great enhancement in stability under harsh conditions. The immobilized laccase showed a half-life of 11.7 h at 60 °C, which was about 1.4-fold higher than that of the free enzyme. Meanwhile, Lac-hNFs retained 81% of the initial activity after incubation at 25 °C for 10 days. The laccase in combination with acetosyringone could efficiently decompose tetracycline, doxycycline, and tigecycline. More than 79% of the three TCs were transformed in 1 h. Compared with the free enzyme, Lac-hNFs demonstrated higher capacity in the removal of TCs. Furthermore, Lac-hNFs remained their high degradation capacity after five cycles of reuse. Bacterial growth inhibition test revealed that most of the toxicity of TCs was eliminated after Lac-hNFs treatment. The main transformation products were identified by LC-MS, and the possible degradation pathways were proposed. The interaction mechanism between laccase and TCs was also analyzed using molecular docking. This work provides an efficient way to remove toxic organic pollutants.
