PEG-functionalized black phosphorus quantum dots as stable and biocompatible electrochemiluminescence luminophores for sensitive detection of tumor biomarker. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:228. [PMID: 37204518 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-023-05768-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
Despite black phosphorous (BP) QDs possess the merits of size-tunable band-gap, high electron mobility, and intrinsic defects, the spontaneous agglomeration and rapid oxidation of BP QDs in aqueous solution caused low electrochemiluminescence (ECL) efficiency and unstable ECL signal, which confined its further application of biological analysis. Herein, polyethylene glycol-functionalized BP QDs (PEG@BP QDs) were prepared showing an efficient and stable ECL response, which is attributed to the fact that PEG as protectant not only effectively prevented the spontaneous agglomeration, but also restrained the rapid oxidation of BP QDs in aqueous solution. As proof-of-concept, PEG@BP QDs were used as an efficient ECL emitter to combine with palindrome amplification-induced DNA walker to construct a sensitive ECL aptasensing platform for detecting cancer marker mucin 1 (MUC1). Interestingly, with the aid of positively charged thiolated PEG, the reaction rate of DNA walker on the electrode interface was clearly increased for the recovery of the ECL signal. The ECL aptasensor provides sensitive determination with the detection limit of 16.5 fg/mL. The proposed strategy paves a path for the development of efficient and stable ECL nanomaterials to construct biosensors for biosensing and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
This paper reports on a new strategy for obtaining homogeneous dispersion of grafted quantum dots (QDs) in a photopolymer matrix and their use for the integration of single-photon sources by two-photon polymerization (TPP) with nanoscale precision. The method is based on phase transfer of QDs from organic solvents to an acrylic matrix. The detailed protocol is described, and the corresponding mechanism is investigated and revealed. The phase transfer is done by ligand exchange through the introduction of mono-2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl succinate (MES) that replaces oleic acid (OA). Infrared (IR) measurements show the replacement of OA on the QD surface by MES after ligand exchange. This allows QDs to move from the hexane phase to the pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA) phase. The QDs that are homogeneously dispersed in the photopolymer without any clusterization do not show any significant broadening in their photoluminescence spectra even after more than 3 years. The ability of the hybrid photopolymer to create micro- and nanostructures by two-photon polymerization is demonstrated. The homogeneity of emission from 2D and 3D microstructures is confirmed by confocal photoluminescence microscopy. The fabrication and integration of a single-photon source in a spatially controlled manner by TPP is achieved and confirmed by auto-correlation measurements.

Abstract
A defect-rich 2D p-n heterojunction, Cox Ni3- x (HITP)2 /BNSs-P (HITP: 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene), is constructed using a semiconductive metal-organic framework (MOF) and boron nanosheets (BNSs) by in situ solution plasma modification. The heterojunction is an effective catalyst for the electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) under ambient conditions. Interface engineering and plasma-assisted defects on the p-n Cox Ni3-x (HITP)2 /BNSs-P heterojunction led to the formation of both Co-N3 and B…O dual-active sites. As a result, Cox Ni3-x (HITP)2 /BNSs-P has a high NH3 yield of 128.26 ± 2.27 µg h-1 mgcat. -1 and a Faradaic efficiency of 52.92 ± 1.83% in 0.1 m HCl solution. The catalytic mechanism for the eNRR is also studied by in situ FTIR spectra and DFT calculations. A Cox Ni3- x (HITP)2 /BNSs-P-based Zn-N2 battery achieved an unprecedented power output with a peak power density of 5.40 mW cm-2 and an energy density of 240 mA h gzn -1 in 0.1 m HCl. This study establishes an efficient strategy for the rational design, using defect and interfacial engineering, of advanced eNRR catalysts for ammonia synthesis under ambient conditions.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate that the surface anchoring of black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) and bulk iron-doping in W18 O49 nanowires significantly promotes the photocatalytic activity toward N2 fixation into NH3 . More specifically, a NH3 production rate of up to 187.6 μmol g-1 h-1 could be achieved, nearly one order of magnitude higher than that of pristine W18 O49 (18.9 μmol g-1 h-1 ). Comprehensive experiments and density-functional theory calculations reveal that Fe-doping could enhance the reducing ability of photo-generated electrons by decreasing the work function and elevating the defect band (d-band) centers. Additionally, the surface BPQDs anchoring could facilitate the N2 adsorption/activation owing to the increased adsorption energy and advantaged W-P dimer bonding-mode. Therefore, synergizing the surface BPQD anchoring and bulk Fe-doping remarkably enhanced the photocatalytic activity of W18 O49 nanowires for NH3 production.

Abstract
Single-atom alloys hold great promise for electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), while the comprehensive experimental/theoretical investigations of SAAs for the NRR are still missing. Herein, PdFe1 single-atom alloy metallene, in which the Fe single atoms are confined on a Pd metallene support, is first developed as an effective and robust NRR electrocatalyst, delivering exceptional NRR performance with an NH3 yield of 111.9 μg h-1 mg-1 , a Faradaic efficiency of 37.8 % at -0.2 V (RHE), as well as a long-term stability for 100 h electrolysis. In-depth mechanistic investigations by theoretical computations and operando X-ray absorption/Raman spectroscopy indentify Pd-coordinated Fe single atoms as active centers to enable efficient N2 activation via N2 -to-Fe σ-donation, reduced protonation energy barriers, suppressed hydrogen evolution and excellent thermodynamic stability, thus accounting for the high activity, selectivity and stability of PdFe1 for the NRR.

Abstract
Exploring high-efficiency metal-free electrocatalysts towards N2 reduction reaction (NRR) is of great interest for the development of electrocatalytic N2 fixation technology. Herein, we combined boron nitride quantum dots (BNQDs) and graphitic carbon nitride (C3N4) to design a metal-free BNQDs/C3N4 heterostructure as an effective and durable NRR catalyst. The electronically coupled BNQDs/C3N4 presented an NH3 yield as high as 72.3 μg h-1 mg-1 (-0.3 V) and a Faradaic efficiency of 19.5% (-0.2 V), far superior to isolated BNQDs and C3N4, and outperforming nearly all previously reported metal-free catalysts. Theoretical computations unveiled that the N2 activation could be drastically enhanced at the BNQDs-C3N4 interface where interfacial BNQDs and C3N4 cooperatively adsorb N2 and stabilize *N2H intermediate, leading to the significantly promoted NRR process with an ultra-low overpotential of 0.23 V.

Abstract
Efficient storage and conversion of renewable energies is of critical importance to the sustainable growth of human society. With its distinguishing features of high hydrogen content, high energy density, facile storage/transportation, and zero-carbon emission, ammonia has been recently considered as a promising energy carrier for long-term and large-scale energy storage. Under this scenario, the synthesis, storage, and utilization of ammonia are key components for the implementation of ammonia-mediated energy system. Being different from fossil fuels, renewable energies normally have intermittent and variable nature, and thus pose demands on the improvement of existing technologies and simultaneously the development of alternative methods and materials for ammonia synthesis and storage. The energy release from ammonia in an efficient manner, on the other hand, is vital to achieve a sustainable energy supply and complete the nitrogen circle. Herein, recent advances in the thermal-, electro-, plasma-, and photocatalytic ammonia synthesis, ammonia storage or separation, ammonia thermal/electrochemical decomposition and conversion are summarized with the emphasis on the latest developments of new methods and materials (catalysts, electrodes, and sorbents) for these processes. The challenges and potential solutions are discussed.

Abstract
Electrochemical N2 fixation represents a promising strategy toward sustainable NH3 synthesis, whereas the rational design of high-performance catalysts for the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is urgently required but remains challenging. Herein, a novel hexagonal BN quantum dots (BNQDs) decorated Nb2 CTx -MXene (BNQDs@Nb2 CTx ) is explored as an efficient NRR catalyst. BNQDs@Nb2 CTx presents the optimum NRR activity with an NH3 yield rate of 66.3 µg h-1 mg-1 (-0.4 V) and a Faradaic efficiency of 16.7% (-0.3 V), outperforming most of the state-of-the-art NRR catalysts, together with an excellent stability. Theoretical calculations revealed that the synergistic interplay of BNQDs and Nb2 CTx enabled the creation of unique interfacial B sites serving as NRR catalytic centers capable of enhancing the N2 activation, lowering the reaction energy barrier and impeding the H2 evolution.

Abstract
Coordination-driven surface modification is an effective strategy to achieve nanosystem functionalization and improved physicochemical performance. Black phosphorus (BP)-based nanomaterials demonstrate great potential in cancer therapy, but their poor stability, low X-ray mass attenuation coefficient, and nonselectivity limit the application in radiotherapy. Herein, we used unsaturated iridium complex to coordinate with BP nanosheets to synthesize a two-dimensional layered nanosystem (RGD-Ir@BP) with higher biostability. Ir complex improves the photoelectric properties and photoinduced charge carrier dynamics of BP, hence Ir@BP generated more singlet oxygen after X-ray irradiation. In in vivo experiments, with X-ray irradiation, RGD-Ir@BP effectively inhibited nasopharyngeal carcinoma tumor growth but with minor side effects. Additionally, based on untargeted metabolomics analysis, the combined treatment specifically down-regulated the tumor proliferative mark of prostaglandin E2 in cancer cells. In general, this study provides a design strategy of high-performance coordination-driven BP-based nanosensitizer in cancer radiotherapy.

Abstract
It still remains challenging to simultaneously achieve high stability, selectivity, and activity in CO2 reduction. Herein, a dual chainmail-bearing nickel-based catalyst (Ni@NC@NCNT) was fabricated via a solvothermal-evaporation-calcination approach. In situ encapsulated N-doped carbon layers (NCs) and nanotubes (NCNTs) gave a dual protection to the metallic core. The confined space well maintained the local alkaline pH value and suppressed hydrogen evolution. Large surface area and abundant pyridinic N and Niδ+ sites ensured high CO2 adsorption capacity and strength. Benefitting from these, it delivered a CO faradaic efficiency of 94.1 % and current density of 48.0 mA cm-2 at -0.75 and -1.10 V, respectively. Moreover, the performance remained unchanged after continuous electrolysis for 43 h, far exceeding Ni@NC with single chainmail, Ni@NC/NCNT with Ni@NC sitting on the walls of NCNT, bare NCNT and most state-of-the-art catalysts, demonstrating structural superiority of Ni@NC@NCNT. This work sheds light on designing unique architectures to improve electrochemical performances.

Abstract
High demand for green ecosystems has urged the human community to reconsider and revamp the traditional way of synthesis of several compounds. Ammonia (NH3 ) is one such compound whose applications have been extended from fertilizers to explosives and is still being synthesized using the high energy inhaling Haber-Bosch process. Carbon free electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is considered as a potential replacement for the Haber-Bosch method. However, it has few limitations such as low N2 adsorption, selectivity (competitive HER reactions), low yield rate etc. Since it is at the early stage, tremendous efforts have been devoted in understanding the reaction mechanism and screening of the electrocatalysts and electrolytes. In this review, the electrocatalysts are classified based on the periodic table with heat maps of Faraday efficiency and yield rate of NH3 in NRR and their electrocatalytic properties toward NRR are discussed. Also, the activity of each element is discussed and short tables and concise graphs are provided to enable the researchers to understand recent progress on each element. At the end, a perspective is provided on countering the current challenges in NRR. This review may act as handbook for basic NRR understandings, recent progress in NRR, and the design and development of advanced electrocatalysts and systems.

Abstract
Nitrates are widely used as fertilizer and oxidizing agents. Commercial nitrate production from nitrogen involves high-temperature-high-pressure multi-step processes. Therefore, an alternative nitrate production method under ambient environment is of importance. Herein, an electrochemical nitrogen oxidation reaction (NOR) approach is developed to produce nitrate catalyzed by ZnFex Co2-x O4 spinel oxides. Theoretical and experimental results show Fe aids the formation of the first N-O bond on the *N site, while high oxidation state Co assists in stabilizing the absorbed OH- for the generation of the second and third N-O bonds. Owing to the concerted catalysis, the ZnFe0.4 Co1.6 O4 oxide demonstrates the highest nitrate production rate of 130±12 μmol h-1 gMO -1 at an applied potential of 1.6 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE).
