Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes perform critical pre-treatment functions in advanced water treatment processes. In operational systems, however, biofouling decreases membrane performance and increases the frequency cost of chemical cleaning. The present work demonstrates a novel technique for covalently or ionically tethering antimicrobial nanoparticles to surface UF membranes. Silver (AgNPs) encapsulated positively charged polyethyleneimine (PEI) were reacted with an oxygen plasma modified...
Herein we reported the development of aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) based on label-free aptamers and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for detection Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 Salmonella typhimurium. Target bacteria binding are adsorbed surface unmodified AuNPs to capture target bacteria, was accomplished by bacteria-induced aggregation aptasensor which is associated as red-to-purple color change upon high-salt conditions. By employing anti-E. aptamer anti-S. typhimurium aptamer,...
Here we report a simple all-nucleic-acid enzyme-free catalyzed hairpin assembly assisted amplification strategy with quantum dots (QDs) as the nanoscale signal reporter for homogeneous visual and fluorescent detection of A549 lung cancer cells from clinical blood samples. This work was based on phenomenon that CdTe QDs can selectively recognize Ag+ C-Ag+-C by using mucin 1 circulating tumor (CTCs) marker aptamer recognition probe. Under optimized conditions, limits detections low 0.15 fg/mL...
Terahertz (THz) waves show nontrivial interactions with living systems, but the underlying molecular mechanisms have yet to be explored. Here, we employ DNA origami as a model system study between THz and structures. We find that 3-min illumination (35.2 THz) can drive unwinding of duplexes at ∼10 °C below their melting point. Computational reveals wave resonate vibration bases, provoking hydrogen bond breaking. The cooperation thermal nonthermal effects allows unfolding undesired secondary...
Exploring single-atom catalysts (SACs) for the nitrate reduction reaction (NO3-; NitRR) to value-added ammonia (NH3) offers a sustainable alternative both Haber-Bosch process and NO3--rich wastewater treatment. However, due insufficient electron deficiency unfavorable electronic structure of SACs, resulting in poor NO3--adsorption, sluggish proton (H*) transfer kinetics, preferred hydrogen evolution, their NO3--to-NH3 selectivity yield rate are far from satisfactory. Herein, systematic...
In recent years, the use of single atoms (SAs) has become a rapidly increasing significance in photocatalytic H2 generation; here SA noble metals (mainly Pt SAs) can act as highly effective co-catalysts. The classic strategy to decorate oxide semiconductor surfaces with maximally dispersed SAs relies on "strong electrostatic adsorption" (SEA) suitable metal complexes. case TiO2 - benchmark photocatalyst SEA calls for adsorption cationic complexes such [(NH3 )4 Pt]2+ which then are thermally...
Exploring single-atom-catalysts for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of paramount importance cost-effective hydrogen production via water electrolyzers. However, limited durability most and Ir/Ru-based oxides under harsh OER conditions, primarily attributed to excessive lattice participation resulting in metal-leaching structural collapse, hinders their practical application. Herein, an innovative strategy developed fabricate short-range Ir single-atom-ensembles (Ir

Abstract The employment of single atoms (SAs), especially Pt SAs, as co‐catalysts in photocatalytic H 2 generation has gained significant attention due to their exceptional efficiency. However, a major challenge application is the light‐induced agglomeration these SAs into less active nanosized particles under conditions. This study addresses stability and reactivity on TiO surfaces by investigating various post‐deposition annealing treatments air, Ar, Ar‐H environments at different...
In this study, we systematically investigated the interactions between Cu 2+ and various biomolecules, including double-stranded DNA, Y-shaped DNA nanospheres, double strand of hybridization chain reaction (HCR), network structure cross-linked HCR (cHCR), small molecules (PPi His), using as an illustrative example. Our research demonstrated that coordination these biomolecules not only is suitable for modulating luminescent material signals through complexation reactions with but also...
