[PMID: 38884859 DOI: 10.1007/s00894-024-06015-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
CONTEXT The electronic and magnetic properties of non-metallic (NM) elements doping defective graphene-like ZnO (g-ZnO) monolayer including O vacancy (VO) and Zn vacancy (VZn) are studied. The results show that VO-g-ZnO is a semiconductor and VZn-g-ZnO is a magnetic semiconductor. B, C, N, Si, P, 2S, and 2Si doping VO-g-ZnO systems present half-metal and magnetic semiconductors, and the magnetism mainly originates from the spin polarization of doping atoms. For single or double NM elements doping VZn-g-ZnO, 2P doping system presents a semiconductor, while other systems present ferromagnetic metal, half-metal, and magnetic semiconductor. The magnetism of single NM elements doping VZn-g-ZnO mainly comes from the spin polarization of O atoms near the defect point. For double NM elements doping VZn-g-ZnO, spin splitting occurs mainly in p orbitals of O atoms, dopant atoms, and d orbitals of Zn atoms. NM elements doping defect g-ZnO can effectively regulate the electronic and magnetic properties of the system. METHODS The software package VASP 5.4.1 (Vienna ab initio Simulation Package) is used for calculations in this paper. The local density approximation (LDA) is adopted as an exchange and correlation function to perform the structural optimization and analysis of electronic structure and magnetic properties.

Abstract
Because of their high electrocatalytic activity, sensitivity, selectivity, and long-term stability in electrochemical sensors and biosensors, numerous nanomaterials are being used as suitable electrode materials thanks to developments in nanotechnology. Electrochemical sensors and biosensors are two areas where two-dimensional layered materials (2DLMs) are finding increasing utility due to their unusual structure and physicochemical features. Nanosensors, by their unprecedented sensitivity and minute scale, can probe deeper into the structural integrity of piles, capturing intricacies that traditional tools overlook. These advanced devices detect anomalies, voids, and minute defects in the pile structure with unparalleled granularity. Their effectiveness lies in detection and their capacity to provide real-time feedback on pile health, heralding a shift from reactive to proactive maintenance methodologies. Harvesting data from these nanosensors, data was incorporated into a probabilistic model, executing the reliability index calculations through Monte Carlo simulations. Preliminary outcomes show a commendable enhancement in the predictability of vertical bearing capacity, with the coefficient of variation dwindling by up to 12%. The introduction of nanosensors facilitates instantaneous monitoring and fortifies the long-term stability of pile foundations. This study accentuates the transformative potential of nanosensors in geotechnical engineering.

Abstract
Phosphorene is a 2D phosphorus atomic layer arranged in a honeycomb lattice like graphene but with a buckled structure. Since its exfoliation from black phosphorus in 2014, phosphorene has attracted tremendous research interest both in terms of synthesis and fundamental research, as well as in potential applications. Recently, significant attention in phosphorene is motivated not only by research on its fundamental physical properties as a novel 2D semiconductor material, such as tunable bandgap, strong in-plane anisotropy, and high carrier mobility, but also by the study of its wide range of potential applications, such as electronic, optoelectronic, and spintronic devices, energy conversion and storage devices. However, a lot of avenues remain to be explored including the fundamental properties of phosphorene and its device applications. This review recalls the current state of the art of phosphorene and its derivatives, touching upon topics on structure, synthesis, characterization, properties, stability, and applications. The current needs and future opportunities for phosphorene are also discussed.

Abstract
The 2D MoS2 with superior optoelectronic properties such as high charge mobility and broadband photoresponse has attracted broad research interests in photodetectors (PD). However, due to the atomic thin layer of 2D MoS2 , its pure photodetectors usually suffer from inevitable drawbacks such as large dark current, and intrinsically slow response time. Herein, a new organic material BTP-4F with high mobility is successfully stacked with 2D MoS2 film to form an integrated 2D MoS2 /organic P-N heterojunction, facilitating efficient charge transfer as well as significantly suppressed dark current. As a result, the as-obtained 2D MoS2 /organic (PD) has exhibited excellent response and fast response time of 332/274 µs. The analysis validated photogenerated electron transition from this monolayer MoS2 to subsequent BTP-4F film, whereas the transited electron is originated from the A- exciton of 2D MoS2 by temperature-dependent photoluminescent analysis. The ultrafast charge transfer time of ≈0.24 ps measured by time-resolved transient absorption spectrum is beneficial for efficient electron-hole pair separation, greatly contributing to the obtained fast photoresponse time of 332/274 µs. This work can open a promising window to acquire low-cost and high-speed (PD).

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of the intermediates or final products of biological metabolism and participates in many important biological processes of life activities. The detection of H2O2 is of great significance in clinical disease monitoring, environmental protection, and bioanalysis. In this study, Ti3C2-based nanohybrids are prepared by the biological modification and self-assembled peptide nanosheets (PNSs)-based biomimetic synthesis of copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs), which show potential application in the fabrication of low-cost and high-performance electrochemical H2O2 biosensors. The synthesized CuS-PNSs/Ti3C2 nanohybrids exhibit excellent electrochemical performance towards H2O2, in which CuS NPs can catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 and realize the transformation from a chemical signal to an electrical signal to achieve the purpose of H2O2 detection. The prepared CuS-PNSs/Ti3C2-based electrochemical biosensor platform exhibits a wide detection range (5 μM-15 mM) and a low detection limit (0.226 μM). In addition, it reveals good selectivity and stability and can realize the monitoring of H2O2 in a complex environment. The successful biomimetic synthesis of CuS-PNSs/Ti3C2 hybrid nanomaterials provides a green and friendly strategy for the design and synthesis of functional nanomaterials and also provides a new inspiration for the construction of highly effective electrochemical biosensors for practical detection of H2O2 in various environments.

Abstract
Peptides have higher information density than DNA and equivalent molecular recognition ability and durability. However, there are currently no reports on the comprehensive use of peptides' recognition ability and structural diversity for sensing, logic computing, information coding, and protection. Herein, we, for the first time, demonstrate peptide-based sensing, logic computing, and information security on the antimonene platform. The molecular recognition capability and structural diversity (amino acid sequence) of peptides (Pb2+-binding peptide DHHTQQHD as a model) adsorbed on the antimonene universal fluorescence quenching platform were comprehensively utilized to sense targets (Pb2+) and give a response (fluorescence turn-on) and then to encode, encrypt, and hide information. Fluorescently labeled peptides used as the recognition probe and the information carrier were quenched and hidden by the large-plane two-dimensional material antimonene and specifically bound by Pb2+ as the stego key, resulting in fluorescence recovery. The above interaction and signal change can be considered as a peptide-based sensing and steganographic process to further implement quantitative detection of Pb2+, complex logic operation, information coding, encrypting, and hiding using a peptide sequence and the binary conversion of its selectivity. This research provides a basic paradigm for the construction of a molecular sensing and informatization platform and will inspire the development of biopolymer-based molecular information technology (processing, communication, control, security).

Abstract
The exceptional properties of 2D layered black phosphorus (BP) make it a promising candidate for electrochemical sensing applications and, even though BP is considered unstable and tends to degrade by the presence of oxygen and moisture, its oxidation can be beneficial in some situations. In this work, we present an unequivocal demonstration that the exposition of BP-based working electrodes to normal ambient conditions can indeed be advantageous, leading to an enhancement of voltammetric sensing applications. This point was proved using a BP modified screen-printed carbon electrode (BP-SPCE) for the voltammetric determination of dopamine (DA) as a model target analyte. Oxidized BP-SPCE (up to 35% of PxOy at the surface) presented an enhanced analytical performance with a 5-fold and 2-fold increase in sensitivity, as compared to bare-SPCE and non-oxidized BP-SPCE stored in anhydrous atmosphere, respectively. Good detection limit, repeatability, reproducibility, stability, selectivity, and accuracy were also achieved. Overall, the results presented herein display the prominent possibilities of preparing and working with BP based-sensors in normal ambient settings and showcase their implementation under physiological conditions.

Abstract
Few-layer black phosphorus (BP) has been considered as a rising star of 2D materials, and however, the poor stability heavily limits its application in electrochemical sensing. In this work, a series of BP nanosheets (BPNS) are simply prepared through ultrasonic exfoliation of bulk BP with the assistance of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in different solvents, including isopropanol (IPA), ethanol (EtOH), N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) and dimethylformamide (DMF). It is found that the exfoliation efficiency in IPA and EtOH is much higher than that in DMF and NMP, and moreover, IPA is superior than EtOH. More importantly, PVP effectively improves the exfoliation efficiency and ambient ability of BPNS via forming a protective layer to lower the oxidation of phosphorus. The exfoliated BPNS in the presence of IPA and PVP (PVP@BPNS) possess larger active response area, higher electron-transfer rate and stronger enhancement effects toward the oxidation of p-nitrophenol (4-NP). As a result, the response signal and sensing sensitivity of 4-NP are remarkably improved, and a novel electrochemical method has been developed for 4-NP detection, with a linear range of 0.10-5.0 μM and a detection limit of 28 nM. It is used to measure 4-NP in wastewater samples, and the results are validated by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution in the environment poses a serious threat to the ecosystem and human health, which has attracted widespread attention. In this study, an octahedral structure composite composed of UiO-66-NH2 MOFs and semiconductor GaOOH materials has been prepared and used as electrode materials successfully. These composites can be used for the real-time and online determination of Cd2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, and Pb2+ in real water samples simultaneously or alone via an electrochemical method. Zr-MOF has a large and unique surface area that is beneficial to the adsorption and preconcentration of heavy metal ions. The experiment parameters such as pH, deposition potential, and deposition time were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the electrochemical performances and practical applications of Zr-MOF composites modified electrode have been investigated, which shows excellent wider linear range and lower detection limit (LOD). The results demonstrated excellent selectivity, reproducibility, stability and applicability for the detection of four metal ions. These superior features stem from the synergistic reaction mechanism of UiO-66-NH2 and GaOOH. In addition, it has been established a new detection strategy for heavy metal ions through the form of metal-organic framework (MOF) composite in this work. It may provide a novel platform for the quantitative determination of heavy metal ions in various environmental samples.
