RESUMO

The unprecedented demand for highly selective, real-time monitoring and low-power gas sensors used in food quality control has been driven by the increasing popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT). Herein, the self-standing perylene diimide based covalent organic framework membranes (COFMPDI-THSTZ) were prepared via liquid-liquid interfacial synthesis method. By incorporating the perylene diimide monomer into the COFM through molecular engineering, COFMPDI-THSTZ based sensor demonstrated an outstanding trimethylamine (TMA)-sensing performance at room temperature. Benefited from the TMA-accessible self-standing membrane morphology, π-electron delocalization effect, and extensive surface area with continuous nanochannels, the specific and highly sensitive TMA measurement has been achieved within the range of 0.03-400 ppm, with an exceptional theoretical detection limit as low as 10 ppb. Moreover, the primary internal mechanism of COFMPDI-THSTZ for this efficient TMA detection was investigated through in-situ FT-IR spectra, thereby directly elucidating that the chemisorption interaction of oxygen modulated the depletion layers on sensing material surface, resulting in alterations in sensor resistance upon exposure to the target gas. For practical usage, COFMPDI-THSTZ based sensor exhibited exceptional real-time in-situ sensing capabilities, further confirmed their potential for application in dynamic prediction evaluation of marine fish products and quality monitoring in IoT.

RESUMO

Designing photocatalysts with efficient charge transport and abundant active sites for photocatalytic CO2 reduction in pure water is considered a potential approach. Herein, a nickel-phthalocyanine containing Ni-N4 active sites-based conjugated microporous polymer (NiPc-CMP), offering highly dispersed metal active sites, satisfactory CO2 adsorption capability, and excellent light harvesting properties, is engineered as a photocatalyst. By virtue of the covalently bonded bridge, an atomic-scale interface between the NiPc-CMP/Bi2 WO6 Z-scheme heterojunction with strong chemical interactions is obtained. The interface creates directional charge transport highways and retains a high redox potential, thereby enhancing the photoexcited charge carrier separation and photocatalytic efficiency. Consequently, the optimal NiPc-CMP/Bi2 WO6 (NCB-3) achieves efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance in pure water under visible-light irradiation without any sacrificial agent or photosensitizer, affording a CO generation rate of 325.9 µmol g-1 with CO selectivity of 93% in 8 h, outperforming those of Bi2 WO6 and NiPc-CMP, individually. Experimental and theoretical calculations reveal the promotion of interfacial photoinduced electron separation and the role of Ni-N4 active sites in photocatalytic reactions. This study presents a high-performance CMP-based Z-scheme heterojunction with an effective interfacial charge-transfer route and rich metal active sites for photocatalytic CO2 conversion.

RESUMO

Nitric oxide (NO), as a critical transcellular messenger, participates in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. However, its real-time detection still faces challenges due to its short half-life and trace amounts. Here, MWCNTs@COF-366-Co was prepared by in situ growth of a cobalt porphyrin-based covalent organic framework (COF-366-Co) on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and a unique biosensing platform for ultrasensitive real-time NO determination was established. Remarkably, MWCNTs@COF-366-Co contains plenty of atomically arranged M-N4 active sites for electrocatalysis, which provides more efficient electron transfer pathways and resolves the random arrangement issue of active sites. COF-366-Co with a high surface area contains a large number of exposed active M-N4 sites, providing faster NO transport/diffusion and more efficient electron transfer pathways. Due to the synergy of atomic-level periodic structural features of COF-366-Co and high conductivity of MWCNTs, the MWCNTs@COF-366-Co electrochemical biosensor exhibited excellent NO determination performance in a wide range from 0.09 to 400 µM, with high sensitivity (8.9 µA µM-1 cm-2) and a low limit of detection (16 nM). Moreover, the biosensor has been successfully used to sensitively monitor NO molecules released from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). This research not only designed a multifunctional intelligent biosensor platform, but also provided a broad prospect for continuous dynamic monitoring of the activity of living cells and their released metabolites.

RESUMO

The development of renewable energy is a key measure to achieving carbon neutrality in China. Considering the significant regional differences in income levels and green technology innovation, it is essential to discuss the impact of renewable energy development on carbon emissions from the Chinese provincial level. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 1999 to 2019, this study first explores the impact of renewable energy on carbon emissions and regional heterogeneity. Moreover, the moderating effects of income levels on the nexus between renewable energy and carbon emissions, and the impact mechanism of green technology innovation are further examined. Results show that, first, renewable energy development can significantly reduce carbon emissions in China, and there exist obvious regional differences. Second, income levels present a non-linear moderating effect on the relationship between renewable energy and carbon emissions. The increase in income levels can effectively enhance the emission reduction effect of renewable energy only in high-income regions. Third, renewable energy development is an important mediating mechanism for green technology innovation to achieve emission reduction. Finally, policy implications are proposed to help China in advancing the development of renewable energy and achieve carbon neutrality.

RESUMO

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and glucose play a key role in many cellular signaling pathways. The efficient and accurate in situ detection of H2O2 released from living cells has attracted extensive research interests. Herein, a new porphyrin-based porous covalent organic framework (TAP-COF) was fabricated via one-step condensation of 1,6,7,12-tetrachloroperylene tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-aminophenyl)porphyrin iron(III). The obtained TAP-COF has high surface areas, abundant surface catalytic active sites, and highly effective electron transport due to its precisely controllable donor-acceptor arrangement and 3D porous structure. Then, the new TAP-COF exhibited excellent peroxidase-like catalytic activity, which could effectively catalyze oxidation of the substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine by H2O2 to produce a typical blue-colored reaction. On this basis, simple, rapid and selective colorimetric methods for in situ H2O2 detection were developed with the detection limit of 2.6 nM in the wide range of 0.01 to 200 µM. The colorimetric approach also could be used for in situ detection of H2O2 released from living MCF-7 cells. This portable sensor based on a COF nanozyme not only opens a new path for point-of-care testing, but also has potential applications in the field of cell biology and clinical diagnosis.

RESUMO

To improve the physical strength of regenerated cellulose fibers, cellulose dissolution was analyzed with a conductor-like screening model for real solvents in which 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AMIMCl) worked only as a hydrogen bond acceptor while dissolving the cellulose. This process could be promoted by the addition of urea, glycerol, and choline chloride. The dissolution and regeneration of cellulose was achieved through dry-jet and wet-spinning. The results demonstrated that the addition of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors either on their own or in combination can enhance the tensile strength, but their effects on the crystallinity of the regenerated fibers were quite limited. Compared with the regenerated fibers without any additives, the tensile strength was improved from 54.43 MPa to 139.62 MPa after introducing the choline chloride and glycerol, while related the crystallinity was only changed from 60.06% to 62.97%. By contrast, a more compact structure and fewer pores on the fiber surface were identified in samples with additives along with well-preserved cellulose frameworks. Besides, it should be noted that an optimization in the overall thermal stability was obtained in samples with additives. The significant effect of regenerated cellulose with the addition of glycerol was attributed to the reduction of cellulose damage by slowing down the dissolution and cross-linking in the cellulose viscose. The enhancement of the physical strength of regenerated cellulose fiber can be realized by the appropriate adjustment of the hydrogen bond distribution in the ionic liquid system with additives.

RESUMO

A photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on a multiple signal amplification strategy was established for highly sensitive detection of microRNA (miRNA). TiO2 was prepared on the surface of titanium sheet by laser etching to improve its stability and photoelectrical properties, and CuInS2-sensitized TiO2 was used to form a superior photoelectrical layer, which realized the initial signal amplification. The electron donor dopamine (DA) was modified to H2 as a signal regulator, which effectively increased the photocurrent signal. To further amplify the signal, an enzyme-free hybridization reaction was implemented. When target let-7a and fuel-DNA (F-DNA) were present, the base of H1 specifically recognized let-7a and forced dopamine@AuNPs-H2 away from the electrode surface. Subsequently, the end base of H1 specifically recognized F-DNA, and let-7a was replaced and recycled to participate in the next cycle. Enzyme-free circulation, as a multifunctional amplification method, ensured the recycling of target molecules. This PEC sensor for let-7a detection showed an excellent linear response from 0.5 to 1000 pM with a detection limit of 0.12 pM. The intra-batch RSD was 3.8% and the recovery was 87.74-108.1%. The sensor was further used for clinical biomolecular monitoring of miRNA, showing excellent quantitative detection capability.

RESUMO

Currently, cathodic photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors, which could effectively reduce background interference, are urgently required for ultrasensitive environmental monitoring. Herein, porphyrin-based covalent organic framework (TAPP-COF) thin films were fabricated via a bottom-up growth approach on the liquid/liquid interface and applied as a photocathode material to "on-off-on" PEC sensing of Pb2+. Benefitting from the unique charge channels of COFs and the good photoelectric properties of porphyrin, the as-prepared TAPP-COF thin films presented an improved photocathodic current, with a strongly enhanced "signal-on" response with low background. Then, CdSe@SiO2 quantum dots (QDs), as a quenching agent, were introduced through a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) to obtain a "signal off" PEC response. Afterward, with the introduction of target Pb2+, CdSe@SiO2 QDs were detached from TAPP-COF thin films, and the PEC response transformed into a signal-on state. Benefiting from the multiple-quenching and steric hindrance effect of CdSe@SiO2 QDs and the photocathodic property of TAPP-COFs, accurate monitoring of Pb2+ in a wide detection range from 0.05 to 1000 nM with a lower detection limit of 0.012 nM was realized based on the proposed on-off-on PEC approach. Notably, the methodology provides an efficient platform for ultrasensitive determination of heavy metal ions, which would play a significant role in environmental monitoring and public safety fields.

RESUMO

The programed bimodal photoelectrochemical (PEC)-sensing platform based on DNA structural switching induced by targets binding to aptamers was innovatively designed for the simultaneous detection of mucin 1 (MUC1) and microRNA 21 (miRNA-21). To promote excellent current intensity as well as enhance the sensitivity of aptasensors, the evenly distributed WO3/Fe2O3 heterojunction was prepared as a transducer material, notably reducing the background signal response and extending the absorption of light. The multifunctional paper-based biocathode was assembled to provide a visual colorimetric assay. When introducing the integrated signal probe (ISP) composed of signal probe 1 (sP1) and signal probe 2 (sP2) on paper-based working units modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), recognition sites of two targets were formed. In the presence of MUC1 protein, both sP1 and the target on the working unit were released into the corresponding colorimetric unit because of the DNA specific recognition. The horseradish peroxidase-streptavidin (HRP-SA) carried by free sP1 could oxidize 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to turn a blue-colored oxidized TMB (oxTMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which ultimately gained a higher photocurrent signal. Furthermore, miRNA-21 was modified on another working unit by binding with sP2, leading to changes in the current signal and thus enabling real-time detection of analytes with the assistance of a digital multimeter. The PEC aptasensor offered a wide dynamic range of 10 fg·mL-1-100 ng mL-1 for MUC1 and 0.1 pM-10 nM for miRNA-21, with a low detection limit of 3.4 fg·mL-1 and 36 fM, respectively. It laid the foundation for synchronous detection of multiple analytes and initiated a new way for the enhancement in modern next-generation disease diagnosis.

RESUMO

Currently, portable, low-cost, and easy to operate on-chip analytical units are urgently demanded to meet the requirement for point-of-care testing in resource-limited regions. Herein, a dual-mode lab-on-paper platform is presented, which integrates distance-based visualized readout with ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assay in one device. The distance-based measurement is based on a brown visualized strip generated from the oxidation reaction of 3,3'-diaminobenzidine in the presence of H2O2 initiated by horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Notably, visualized semiquantitative results are displayed as the length of a brown bar chart directly on the device-without the need for any data processing or plotting steps, thus avoiding the error caused by the naked eye for distinguishing the color depth. On the contrary, a ratiometric ECL technique was employed for accurate analysis based on the specific biorecognition between Pb2+-dependent DNAzymes and targets. Concretely, upon addition of Pb2+ into the fabricated device, cleaved oligonucleotide fragments connected with HRP functionalized Au nanocubes could permeate through the cellulose on account of their size that is smaller than paper pores, quench the ECL signal of the CdS quantum dots because of resonance energy transfer, and synchronously boost the ECL intensity generated from luminol by catalyzing H2O2. As a consequence, satisfied prediction and accurate monitoring performance was obtained in the range 0.1-2000 nM and 0.01-2000 nM by measuring the length of colored product and the ratio of ECL intensity, respectively. The beneficial advantages of low cost, high efficiency, and the capacity to perform dual-mode assay qualify this innovative device for use with diverse applications.

RESUMO

Real-time monitoring of neonicotinoid pesticide residues is of great significance for food security and sustainable development of the ecological environment. Herein, a paper-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) amplified approach was proposed by virtue of multilayered plasmonic coupling amplification. The unique plasmonic SERS multilayer was constructed using three-dimensional (3D) silver dendrite (SD)/electropolymerized molecular identifier (EMI)/silver nanoparticle (AgNP) sandwich hybrids with multiple hotspots and a strong electromagnetic field in nanogaps. Dendritelike 3D silver materials with remarkably high accessible surface areas and the lightning rod effect constituted the first-order enhancement of paper-based sensors. Molecular identifiers coated upon an SD layer as the interlayer were used for target capture and enrichment. Subsequently, AgNPs featuring rough surface and local plasma resonance decorated as the top layer formed the secondary enhancement of the amplification strategy. As the most brilliant part, dendritelike 3D silver coupled with AgNPs has established double Ag layers to accomplish a multistage enhancement of SERS signals based on the superposition of their electromagnetic fields. Owning to the distinctive design of the multiple coupling amplification strategy, the fabricated SERS paper chips demonstrated impressive specificity and ultrahigh sensitivity in the detection of imidacloprid (IMI), with a detection limit as low as 0.02811 ng mL-1. More importantly, the multiple SERS enhancement paper chip holds great potential for automated screening of a variety of contaminants.

RESUMO

The prevalence of Internet of Things and portable electronics create an unprecedented demand for the high performance gas sensors. To pursuit such sensor, sandwich-type (phthalocyaninato)(porphyrinato) europium double-decker complex Eu(TPyP)(Pc) [TPyP = meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin; Pc = phthalocyanine] was in situ self-assembled on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) driven by the π-π interaction, forming a 3D synergistical rGO/Eu(TPyP)(Pc) hybrid aerogel. The resulting aerogel not only effectively integrates the gas sensing of Eu(TPyP)(Pc) and good conductivity of rGO, but also exhibited a prominent synergy effect. Ascribed to the attractive properties, the fabricated NO2 gas sensor exhibits superior sensitivity and selectivity in the range of 0.5 to 100 ppm with an extremely low theoretical limit level of detection (80 ppb) at ambient temperature. The response and recovery time of rGO/Eu(TPyP)(Pc) hybrid aerogel based sensor to20 ppm NO2 were 172 and 828 s, respectively. Remarkably, the hydrophobic porous structure of rGO/Eu(TPyP)(Pc) hybrid aerogel endows the prepared sensor with excellent immunity to high relative humidity, which conquered the key technical issue of real application. The present sensor, simultaneously featured with high performance, low-power consumption, and good tolerance to environmental variations, is anticipated to offer the "on-site" and "on-line" measurement tool in real samples.

RESUMO

Herein, a new "on-off-on" signal switch system combined triple helix molecular switch with efficient charge separation and transfer between different sensitization units was designed for the ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) determination of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Concretely, the initial "signal-on" state was obtained via the cascaded sensitization structure consisting of type-II CdTe@CdSe core-shell quantum dots (QDs), CdS QDs, and ZnO nanotubes, which were assembled on Au nanoparticles modified paper fibers with the aid of signal transduction probe (STP). Thereinto, the type-II CdTe@CdSe QDs with hole-localizing core and electron-localizing shell could enable the ultrafast charge transfer and retard the charge recombination, magnifying the initial photocurrent response and preserving the high efficiency of signal-switchable PEC aptasensing system. Subsequently, the PSA aptamer (PSA-Apt) modified with gold nanoparticles (GNPs) was introduced by the hybridization of PSA-Apt with STP and the hairpin configuration of STP changed from closed to open state, forming a triple-helix structure. Hence, the CdTe@CdSe QDs labeled on the terminal of STP moved away from the electrode surface while the GNPs kept attached close to it. The proposed aptasensor turned to "signal-off" state because of the dual inhibition of vanished cosensitization effect and signal quenching effect of GNPs. Upon the target recognition, the triple-helix structure was perturbed with the formation of DNA-protein complex and the recovery of STP hairpin structure, resulting in the second "switch-on" state. Based on the target-induced photocurrent enhancement, the proposed PEC aptasensor was utilized for the determination of PSA with high sensitivity, persuasive selectivity, and excellent stability.

RESUMO

Interventional medical detection techniques require expensive devices and cause inconvenience and discomfort to the human body, which restricts their application to the frequency and duration of measurements. A noninvasive respiration test is urgently required for the next-generation medical technologies in early disease warning and postoperative monitoring. This article describes a noninvasive and wearable sensing device that shows high sensitivity toward acetone in respiratory gases with excellent stability, low energy consumption, and reliable flexibility. To obtain such a sensor, the organic semiconductor compound La(TBPP)(TBNc) (TBPP = tetrakis(4-tert-butylphenyl)porphyrin; TBNc = tetrakis(4-tert-butylphenyl)naphthalocyanine) was synthesized and further self-assembled into a highly ordered flexible film via a simple solution-vapor annealing method. The fabricated flexible film was deposited on an interdigitated electrode with poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrate and employed as an electrical identification component for a respiration sensor. Thanks to the attractive electron-transfer properties of highly ordered films and strong electron affinity of La(TBPP)(TBNc) molecules, the as-prepared sensor shows a low detection limit (200 ppb) and acceptable selectivity. The wrinkled/rippled structure of films endows the fabricated sensors with the ability of mechanical flexibility. More importantly, the experimental results suggest the potential application of acetone identification in real respiratory gases and provide a new concept for the development of noninvasive and wearable medical diagnostic devices.

RESUMO

This work reports a microfluidic paper-based photoelectrochemical (µ-PEC) sensing platform for thrombin (TB) detection with electron-transfer tunneling distance regulation (ETTDR) and aptamer target-triggering nicking enzyme signaling amplification (NESA) dual strategies. Specifically, paper-based TiO2 nanosheets (PTNs) were prepared with an efficient hydrothermal process, serving as the direct pathway for the charge carriers transfer. When CeO2-labeled hairpin DNA 3 (HP3) was closely located at the PTNs, the CeO2-PTNs heterostructure was formed, which could great facilitate the photogenerated carries separation of CeO2. In addition, with the aid of aptamer target-triggering NESA strategy, the input TB could be transducted to numerous output target of DNA (tDNA), achieving the goal of desirable signal amplification. In the presence of TB, the output tDNA could be further hybridized with HP3 and unfold its hairpin loop, which forced the CeO2 away from the surface of PTNs and vanished the CeO2-PTNs heterostructure, resulting in the obviously reducing of photocurrent signal. The as-designed sensing platform exhibited a linear range from 0.02 pM to 100 pM with a detection limit of 6.7 fM. Importantly, this µ-PEC sensing platform could not only realize the highly efficient TB detection, but also pave a luciferous way for the detection of other protein in bioanalysis.

RESUMO

In this work, low-power and high-performance gas sensors toward trimethylamine (TMA) are presented for the food quality control in the Internet of Things. An amphiphilic perylene diimide derivative (1,6,7,12-tetra-chlorinated perylene- N-(2-hydroxyethyl)- N'-hexylamine-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic bisimide, TC-PDI) is synthesized and further employed to construct the organic microrods of TC-PDI and organic/inorganic microbelts of TC-PDI/CdS by a phase transfer method. Due to the formation of n-n heterojunctions, the TC-PDI/CdS microbelts exhibit higher conductivity than the TC-PDI microrods alone, which present an efficient gas sensing platform for TMA determination at room operating temperature with high reproducibility and selectivity. Remarkably, the limit of detection, stability, and selectivity of the TC-PDI/CdS gas sensor are significantly improved, which ascribes to the efficient charge separation of n-n heterojunctions. More importantly, the fabricated gas sensor provides potential application of "on-site" and "on-line" TMA identification in real systems and suggests an efficient way to develop new hybrid n-n heterojunctions for a low-power and high-performance gas sensor.

RESUMO

Inspired by the dynamic gait adopted by gecko, we had put forward GPL (Gecko-inspired mechanism with a Pendular waist and Linear legs) model with one passive waist and four active linear legs. To further develop dynamic gait and reduce energy consumption of climbing robot based on the GPL model, the gait design and trajectory planning are addressed in this paper. According to kinematics and dynamics of GPL, the trot gait and continuity analysis are executed. The effects of structural parameters on the supporting forces are analyzed. Moreover, the trajectory of the waist is optimized based on system energy consumption. Finally, a bioinspired robot is developed and the prototype experiment results show that the larger body length ratio, a certain elasticity of the waist joint, and the optimized trajectory contribute to a decrease in the supporting forces and reduction in system energy consumption, especially negative forces on supporting feet. Further, the results in our experiments partly explain the reasonability of quadruped reptile's kinesiology during dynamic gait.

RESUMO

A sandwich-type (phthalocyaninato)(porphyrinato) europium double-decker complex Eu(TPyP){Pc-(OC8H17)8} [TPyP = meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin; Pc-(OC8H17)8 = 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis(octyloxy)phthalocyanine] (2) was designed and prepared. For comparative studies, Eu(TPyP)(Pc) (1) was also prepared. Highly ordered nanotubes of complexes 1 and 2 were successfully fabricated by using an anodized alumina oxide (AAO) template method. The nanotubes were comparatively investigated by electronic absorption spectra, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), low-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) techniques. Both nanotubes of complexes 1 and 2 showed good conductivities and presented an efficient gas sensing platform for the ultrasensitive detection of NO2 at room temperature. In particular, the detection limit and response/recovery times for the proposed sensors based on complex 2 were lower and faster than those of complex 1, indicating the significant effect of a molecular packing mode on tuning the gas sensing performance of organic semiconductors.

RESUMO

In the present study, the nanotubes of 5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-10, 15, 20-tri(4-chlorophenyl) porphyrin (p-HTClPP) (1) and 5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-10, 15, 20-tri(4-chlorophenyl) porphyrin cobalt (p-HTClPPCo) (2) were successfully prepared by using anodize alumina oxide (AAO) template method. The p-HTClPP and p-HTClPPCo nanotubes have been confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electronic absorption spectra, fluorescence spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), low-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) techniques. Both p-HTClPPCo and p-HTClPP nanotubes showed excellent sensitivity, reproducibility and selectivity toward NO2. Especially the prepared sensor of p-HTClPPCo nanotubes exhibited faster response/recovery characteristics and lower detection limit of NO2 (up to 500ppb) than that of p-HTClPP nanotubes, which pave a new avenue in the gas sensitive field.
