Abstract
In this work, a series of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) radicals bearing different functional groups were exploited as a simple catalyst to promote electrochemiluminescence (ECL) generation in luminol/H2O2 system. These TEMPO radicals were found to facilitate the electrochemical oxidation of H2O2 and luminol through different catalytic mechanisms, as well as the subsequent ECL generation of luminol/H2O2 system. The electrochemical oxidation and luminol ECL generation could be tuned by the functional group on the para-position of TEMPO, for which the structure/activity relationship was revealed. Finally, with the combination of enzymatic system, luminol ECL enhancement up to 9.6-fold was obtained through the catalysis of 4-hydroxyl-TEMPO. The enhanced luminol ECL allows acquiring brighter ECL images in a single-electrochemical system (SEES) for multiplex detection of cholesterol, H2O2 and glucose.

Abstract
Nanocrystals (NCs) exposed with high-index facets usually show enhanced electrocatalytic performances. However, it is a great challenge to persevere with high-index facets against their high surface energy during the synthesis. Herein, we successfully synthesize concave hexoctahedral (c-HOH) Pd NCs exposed with 48 high-index {741} facets using a facile one-pot wet-chemical protocol. Control experiments illustrate that l-ascorbic acid plays a critical role in the formation of the c-HOH morphology, acting as both reducing and capping agents. Moreover, we can extend the synthesis for fabricating c-HOH Pd@Pt core-shell NCs by simply introducing a Pt precursor into the reaction solution, attaining remarkably boosted electrocatalysis for methanol electrooxidation reaction (MOR). Integrating the merits of {741} facets, concave structure, and ligand and strain effect of the core-shell structure, c-HOH Pd4@Pt1 core-shell NCs showed an excellent MOR mass activity of 1.18 A mgPGM-1 or 3.60 A mgPt-1, which is 3.80 or 11.61 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C, respectively.

Abstract
The lumiol-O2 electrochemiluminescence (ECL) system constantly emits bright light at positive potential. Notably, compared with the anodic ECL signal of the luminol-O2 system, the great virtues of cathodic ECL are that it is simple and causes minor damage to biological samples. Unfortunately, little emphasis has been paid to cathodic ECL, owing to the low reaction efficacy between luminol and reactive oxygen species. The state-of-the-art work mainly focuses on improving the catalytic activity of the oxygen reduction reaction, which remains a significant challenge. In this work, a synergistic signal amplification pathway is established for luminol cathodic ECL. The synergistic effect is based on the decomposition of H2O2 by catalase-like (CAT-like) CoO nanorods (CoO NRs) and regeneration of H2O2 by a carbonate/bicarbonate buffer. Compared with Fe2O3 nanorod (Fe2O3 NR)- and NiO microsphere-modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs), the ECL intensity of the luminol-O2 system is nearly 50 times stronger when the potential ranged from 0 to -0.4 V on the CoO NR-modified GCE in a carbonate buffer solution. The CAT-like CoO NRs decompose the electroreduction product H2O2 into OH· and O2·-, which further oxidize HCO3- and CO32- to HCO3· and CO3·-. These radicals very effectively interact with luminol to form the luminol radical. More importantly, H2O2 can be regenerated when HCO3· dimerizes to produce (CO2)2*, which provides a cyclic amplification of the cathodic ECL signal during the dimerization of HCO3·. This work inspires developing a new avenue to improve cathodic ECL and deeply understand the mechanism of a luminol cathodic ECL reaction.

Abstract
Amorphous metals and alloys are promising candidates for superior catalysts in many catalytic and electrocatalytic reactions. It is of great urgency to develop a general method to construct amorphous alloys and further clarify the growth mechanism in a wet-chemical system. Herein, inspired by the conservation of energy during the crystallization process, amorphous PdCu nanoalloys have been successfully synthesized by promoting the chemical potential of the building blocks in solution. Benefiting from the abundant active sites and enhanced corrosion resistance, the synthesized amorphous PdCu nanostructures exhibit superior catalytic activity and durability over the face-centered cubic one in formic acid decomposition reaction. More importantly, the successful fabrications of amorphous PdFe, PdCo, and PdNi further demonstrate the universality of the above strategy. This proposed strategy is promising to diversify the amorphous family.

Abstract
The successful application of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) in various fields required continuous exploration of novel ECL signal emitters. In this work, we have proposed a pristine ECL luminophor named NiRu MOFs, which owned extremely high and stable ECL transmission efficiency and was synthesized via a straightforward two-step hydrothermal pathway. The foundation framework of pure Ni-MOFs with the initial structure was layered-pillared constructed by the coordinated octahedrally divalent between nickel and terephthalic acid (BDC). The terephthalates were coordinated and pillared directly to the nickel hydroxide layers and the three-dimensional framework was formed, which had a weak ECL response strength. Then, the ruthenium pyridine complex was recombined with pure Ni-MOFs to produce NiRu MOFs and part of the introduced ruthenium was atomically dispersed in the layered-pillared structure through an ion-exchange method, which led to the ECL luminous efficiency being significantly boosted more than pure Ni-MOFs. In order to verify the superiority of this newly synthesized illuminant, an ECL immunoassay model has been designed, and the results demonstrated that it had extremely strong and steady signal output in practical application. This study realized an efficient platform in ECL immunoassay application with the limit of detection of 0.32 pg mL-1 for neuron-specific enolase (NSE). Therefore, the approach which combined the pristine pure Ni-MOFs and the star-illuminant ruthenium pyridine complex would provide a convenient and meaningful solution for exploring the next-generation ECL emitters.

Abstract
Hybrid nanocrystals combining different properties together are important multifunctional materials that underpin further development in catalysis, energy storage, et al., and they are often constructed using heterogeneous seeded growth. Their spatial configuration (shape, composition, and dimension) is primarily determined by the heterogeneous deposition process which depends on the lattice mismatch between deposited material and seed. Precise control of nanocrystals spatial configuration is crucial to applications, but suffers from the limited tunability of lattice mismatch. Here, we demonstrate that surface lattice engineering can be used to break this bottleneck. Surface lattices of various Au nanocrystal seeds are fine-tuned using this strategy regardless of their shape, size, and crystalline structure, creating adjustable lattice mismatch for subsequent growth of other metals; hence, diverse hybrid nanocrystals with fine-tuned spatial configuration can be synthesized. This study may pave a general approach for rationally designing and constructing target nanocrystals including metal, semiconductor, and oxide.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) by virtue of its controllability and versatility has emerged as a significant tool in bioassay, but how to integrate it with other (nano)materials and further break the limit of sensitivity for ultrasensitive detection still possess tremendous potential. Herein, a close-packed Ru@SiO2 NP nanomembrane that serves as an enhanced substrate and luminophore enricher simultaneously was constructed by the liquid-liquid interface self-assembly method and applied for ECL-enhanced bioassay. The developed ECL electrode obtained ∼600-fold enhancement on ECL intensity compared with the bare ITO electrode and ∼21-fold enhancement compared with the SiO2 NP nanomembrane electrode due to the dramatic light scattering of the 2D SiO2 NPs and the enrichment of Ru(bpy)32+ molecules on the surface of the Ru@SiO2 NP nanomembrane electrode. Based on the fascinating Ru@SiO2 NP nanomembrane platform, we further constructed a label-free immunosensor for the detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The as-fabricated Ru@SiO2-nanomembrane ECL immunosensor exhibited good stability and performed ultrasensitive detection with an utmost low detection limit of 0.169 fg·mL-1 (signal/noise = 3). Our work puts forward an effective solution benefiting for further improving ECL performance for ultrasensitive bioassays.

Abstract
Branched Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) can significantly enhance the Raman signal of trace chemical substances, and have attracted the interest of researchers. However, there are still challenges to accurately prepare the morphology of branched Au NPs. In this work, we have successfully prepared sea urchin-like Au NPs and Au nanowires by using the seed-mediate growth method, with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and glutathione as ligands, and ascorbic acid as a reducing agent. Using Au NPs with a tetrahexahedron (THH) morphology as seeds, and by simply changing the concentration of glutathione, we explored the growth process of sea urchin-like Au and Au nanowires. At low concentrations of glutathione, Au NPs will preferentially grow along the edges and corners of the THH Au seed, forming a core/satellite structure. As the concentration of glutathione increases, Au NPs will grow along the direction of glutathione, forming sea urchin-like Au NPs. To further increase the concentration of glutathione, we will prepare Au nanowires. In addition, we use the prepared Au NPs as a substrate material for surface-enhanced Raman (SERS) high-sensitivity detection. By using 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) as the test molecule, we evaluated the SERS effect of the prepared Au NPs with different morphologies. The results showed that sea urchin-like Au NPs have the best enhancement effect. The lowest concentrations of Rhodamine 6G and 4-ATP were 10-10 M and 10-12 M, respectively, using sea urchin Au NPs as the base material. Furthermore, we conducted a highly sensitive SERS detection of the poison atropine monohydrate, and the lowest detected concentration was 10-10 M.

Abstract
The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) over the high-index facets of Cu nanoparticles (NPs) is favourable towards the formation of multi-carbon products, such as hydrocarbons and oxygenates. However, the facile synthesis of Cu NPs with multiple high-index facets remains a great challenge in the research community. Herein, we have prepared numerous Cu catalysts with flat surfaces by electropolishing polycrystalline Cu foils before and after annealing at different temperatures ranging from 200 °C to 1000 °C under an argon atmosphere. The individual electrode crystal orientations were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) techniques. As confirmed by the EBSD technique, the formation of high-index facets increases with an increase in the annealing temperature and reaches a high quantity of high-index facets enclosed mainly by (211) and (431) facets with about 94% of those on the electrode annealed at 1000 °C. As a possible application, we have used the different electrodes for CO2RR at -1.0 V vs. RHE with special emphasis on the formation of H2 gas and C1 products. Thus, the electrodes prepared at higher temperatures enable the suppression of competing H2 evolution due to the increased amount of high-index facets. Moreover, the formation rates of C1 products were inhibited as well at the electrodes with increased number of high-index facets. The drops in the formation rates of both H2 and C1 products indicate that they are consumed in the chemical reaction to commence the formation of multi-carbon products. However, further study is still required with superior attention on CO2RR towards the C2+ product formation at a range of applied potentials.

Abstract
Chiral surfaces are critical components of enantioselective heterogeneous processes such as those used to prepare enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals. While the majority of chiral surfaces in practical use are based on achiral materials whose surfaces have been modified with enantiomerically pure chiral adsorbates, there are many inorganic materials with valuable surface properties that could be rendered enantiospecific, if their surfaces were intrinsically chiral. This Perspective discusses recent developments in the fabrication of intrinsically chiral surfaces exhibiting enantiospecific adsorption, surface chemistry and electron emission. We propose possible paths to the scalable fabrication of high-surface-area, enantiomerically pure surfaces and discuss opportunities for future progress.

Abstract
Micro-/nanostructures exposed with special crystallographic planes (surface or crystal facets) exhibit distinctive physicochemical properties because of their unique atomic arrangements, resulting in their widespread applications in the fields of catalysis, energy conversion, sensors, electrical devices and so on. Therefore, tremendous progress has been made in facet-dependent investigation of various micro-/nanocrystals over the past decades. However, a lot of beginners including undergraduate students as well as graduate students lack systematic knowledge and don't know how to identify the Miller indices of a crystallographic plane in the actual research process. So far, to the best of our knowledge, there is no specialized review article in this respect. Herein, we present a tutorial and a comprehensive review on the identification of the Miller indices of a crystallographic plane, including fundamental theory, universal methods based on different case studies, and matters needing attention. Hopefully, this tutorial review will be a beneficial theoretical and practical reference for beginners currently focusing on the controllable preparation and facet-dependent investigation of micro-/nanocrystals.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-enabled chemiluminescence (CL) detection has become a growing area of interest in recent years. We review the development of nanomaterial-based CL detection strategies and their applications in bioanalysis. Much progress has been achieved in the past decade, but most attempts still remain in the proof-of-concept stage. This review highlights recent advances in nanomaterials in CL detection and organizes them into three groups based on their role in detection: as a sensing platform, as a signal probe, and applications in homogeneous systems. Furthermore, we have discussed the critical challenges we are facing and future prospects of this field.

Abstract
Tailoring the surface structures of nanocrystals is an exciting research area on account of appealing surface-dependent properties in various applications. Although significant progress has been made in recent years, current synthetic approaches are mainly dependent upon trial and error because of the ambiguous roles of various influencing factors in complicated environments. Therefore, a general theory for predicting and guiding the rationally controlled synthesis of micro- and nanocrystallites with specific surface structures is highly desired. Of note, previous research attention was mainly focused on the crystal growth in near equilibrium conditions. However, in supersaturated growth environments (nonequilibrium conditions), the corresponding crystal growth theories are still limited. Recently, the supersaturation-controlled surface structure strategy, which is derived from thermodynamics and the Thomson-Gibbs equation, has opened up a new avenue for the control the surface structures of crystals. This strategy involves manipulating the supersaturation of growth units to control the surface structure of micro- and nanocrystallites, as the surface energy of exposed facets is correlated to the supersaturation of growth blocks. Based on the proposed theory, micro- and nanocrystallites with various surface structures, especially high-energy facets, have been successfully synthesized by our group and other researchers in past years. In order to draw lessons from previous studies, it is imperative to give a timely research account related to the supersaturation strategy and corresponding applications in controlling surface structures of different crystallites. In this Account, we explore the supersaturation-controlled surface structure strategy to construct functional nanomaterials with desired architectures. First, we highlight the role of supersaturation of growth units from theoretical analysis after a short introduction of fundamental principles for crystal growth. Then, some detailed cases concerning evolution of surface structures are presented to highlight the key experimental factors involved in manipulating the supersaturation of growth units during synthetic processes. These factors include solvents, reaction rates, and additives in wet chemical routes as well as overpotential in electrochemical routes. In addition, we briefly discuss the role of supersaturation in growth kinetics with focus on explaining the formation of spherical micro- and nanocrystallites at extremely high supersaturation. Finally, a general summary of the supersaturation-dependent surface structure control and future prospects in this field are provided. It is expected that this Account will deepen the current understanding on fundamental principles behind the control of surface structures of micro- and nanocrystallites, which can help us to construct desirable nanomaterials and promote their practical applications.

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates with both high activity and long term chemical-stability have been expected in the practical application of the SERS-based detection. In this paper, Au-Ag bimetal nanocrystals are fabricated based on the template-etching reaction in the Ag nanocubes-contained cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) aqueous solution via adding the HAuCl4 solution. The obtained nanocrystals are Au-Ag alloyed and hollow in structure. Further, it has been found that with the increasing Au/Ag molar ratio, the shape of the alloyed nanocrystals evolve from the truncated nanocubes to the hollow boxes and then nanocages, showing the ever red-shifting surface plasmon resonance from the visible to the infrared region. The formation of the alloyed hollow nanocrystals is attributed to the preferential dissolution of the Ag nanocubes induced by CPC selective adsorption and the three to one galvanic replacement reaction between Ag and Au atoms. Importantly, such Au-Ag alloyed hollow nanocrystals, especially the ones with a low Au/Ag atomic ratio, show both high SERS activity and long term environmental stability compared with pure Ag or Au nanocrystals, and are the ideal candidate for the SERS substrate with practical application value. This work not only demonstrates the nanofabrication route to the alloyed hollow nanocrystals with controllable shapes and tunable optical properties in a large region, but also presents highly active and chemically-stable SERS substrates for the practical SERS-based detection.

Abstract
Cd-based semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) with size-tunable luminescence and high quantum yield have become the most promising electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitters. However, their unavoidable biotoxicity limited their applications in bioassays. Here, the nontoxic and economical MoS2 QDs prepared by chemical exfoliation from the bulk MoS2 were first investigated as new ECL emitters, and then the possible luminescence mechanism of MoS2 QDs was studied using ECL-potential curves and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methods in detail. With MoS2 QDs as the ECL emitters and triethylamine (TEA) as the efficient coreactant, a practical and label-free aptasensor for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) detection was constructed based on aptamer recognition-driven target-cycling synchronized rolling circle amplification. Comparing to conventional stepwise reactions, this target-cycling synchronized rolling circle amplification achieved more efficient signal amplification and simpler operation. The developed assay for LPS detection demonstrated a wide linear range of 0.1 fg/mL to 50 ng/mL with limit of detection down to 0.07 fg/mL. It is worth mentioning that MoS2 QDs with stable ECL emission exhibited a great application potential in ECL bioanalysis and imaging as a new type of excellent emitter candidates.

Abstract
Kinetically controlled, seed-mediated co-reduction provides a robust and versatile synthetic approach to multimetallic nanoparticles with precisely controlled geometries and compositions. Here, we demonstrate that single-crystalline cylindrical Au nanorods selectively transform into a series of structurally distinct Au@Au-Pd alloy core-shell bimetallic nanorods with exotic multifaceted geometries enclosed by specific types of facets upon seed-mediated Au-Pd co-reduction under diffusion-controlled conditions. By adjusting several key synthetic parameters, such as the Pd/Au precursor ratio, the reducing agent concentration, the capping surfactant concentration, and foreign metal ion additives, we have been able to simultaneously fine-tailor the atomic-level surface structures and fine-tune the compositional stoichiometries of the multifaceted Au-Pd bimetallic nanorods. Using the catalytic hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol by ammonia borane as a model reaction obeying the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics, we further show that the relative surface binding affinities of the reactants and the rates of interfacial charge transfers, both of which play key roles in determining the overall reaction kinetics, strongly depend upon the surface atomic coordinations and the compositional stoichiometries of the colloidal Au-Pd alloy nanocatalysts. The insights gained from this work not only shed light on the underlying mechanisms dictating the intriguing geometric evolution of multimetallic nanocrystals during seed-mediated co-reduction but also provide an important knowledge framework that guides the rational design of architecturally sophisticated multimetallic nanostructures toward optimization of catalytic molecular transformations.

Nanoporous gold (NPG) structures, which possess abundant high-index facets, kinks, and steps, have been demonstrated as effective catalysts for the glucose electrooxidation in biofuel cells. Herein, we designed surface-clean NPG structures with high-index facets by a trisodium citrate (Na3Cit) self-initiated reduction of chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) in a water-ice bath followed by a kinetically controlled self-assembly manner. This strategy breaks through the traditional trisodium citrate thermal-reducing chloroauric acid approach where solutions are required to heat to a certain temperature for the reaction to initiate. However, herein, the surface-clean NPG structures yielded highly enhanced catalytic activity in glucose electrooxidation with approximately 9 A cm-2 mg-1 current density, which is over 20 times higher than that of Au nanoparticles devised by Turkevich (Turkevich-Au NPs) under the same conditions. This remarkable electrocatalytic activity could be ascribed to the large electrochemically active surface area, clean surface, and high-index facets or highly active sites of the porous structure. The employment of the surface-clean NPG with high-index facets for glucose electrooxidation promises a substantial improvement in the current biofuel cell technology and indicates the potential of biofuel cells in practical applications.

Abstract
We introduce a new and naturally abundant mild reducing agent, tannic acid, to improve the seed-mediated growth method for the synthesis of elongated tetrahexahedral Au nanocrystals enclosed with high-index (730) planes, at room-temperature. The control of the dimensions, plasmonics and electro-catalysis of such high-index faceted nanocrystals is remarkable.

Abstract
While nanoparticles are being pursued actively for a number of applications, dispersed atomic species have been explored far less in functional materials architectures, primarily because composites comprising dispersed atoms are challenging to synthesize and difficult to stabilize against sintering or coarsening. Here we show that room temperature oxidation of Au-Sn alloys produces nanostructures whose surface is terminated by a reducible amorphous oxide that contains atomically dispersed Au. Analysis of the oxidation process shows that the dispersal of Au in the oxide can be explained by predominant oxygen anion diffusion and kinetically limited metal mass transport, which restrict phase separation due to a preferential oxidation of Sn. Nanostructures prepared by oxidation of nanoscale Au-Sn alloys with intermediate Au content (30-50%) show high activity in a CO-oxidation probe reaction due to a cooperative mechanism involving Au atoms as sites for CO adsorption and reaction to CO2 embedded in a reducible oxide that serves as a renewable oxygen reservoir. Our results demonstrate a reliable approach toward nanocomposites involving oxide-embedded, atomically dispersed noble metal species.

Abstract
Creating high-energy facets on the surface of catalyst nanocrystals represents a promising method for enhancing their catalytic activity. Herein we show that crystal etching as the reverse process of crystal growth can directly endow nanocrystal surfaces with high-energy facets. The key is to avoid significant modification of the surface energies of the nanocrystal facets by capping effects from solvents, ions, and ligands. Using Cu nanocubes as the starting material, we have successfully demonstrated the creation of high-energy facets in metal nanocrystals by controlled chemical etching. The etched Cu nanocrystals with enriched high-energy {110} facets showed significantly enhanced activity toward CO2 reduction. We believe the etching-based strategy could be extended to the synthesis of nanocrystals of many other catalysts with more active high-energy facets.

Abstract
We developed a co-reduction method to synthesize octahedral, truncated octahedral, and cubic Rh2Ni nanocrystals. The shape/size distribution, structural characteristics, and composition of the Rh2Ni nanocrystals are investigated, and their possible formation mechanism at high temperatures in margaric acid/1-aminoheptadecane solution in the presence of tetraethylgermanium and borane trimethylamine complexes is proposed. A preliminary probing of the structure-activity dependence of the surface "clean" Rh2Ni nanocrystals supported on carbon towards hydrazine (N2H4) in aqueous solution dehydrogenation revealed that the higher the percentage of {111} facets, the higher is the activity and H2 selectivity of the nanocrystals. This result was attributed to the {111} facets not only introducing more basic sites, but also weakening the interaction between the produced adspecies (including H2 and NHx) and surface metal atoms in comparison with those of {100} facets. Furthermore, the as-prepared Rh2Ni nanooctahedra exhibited 100% H2 selectivity and high activity at room temperature for H2 generation via N2H4 decomposition. The activation energy of the Rh2Ni nanooctahedra was 41.6 ± 1.2 kJ mol(-1). The Rh2Ni nanooctahedra were stable catalysts for the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of N2H4, providing 27 723 total turnovers in 30 h. Our work provides a new perspective concerning the possibility of constructing hydrogen-producing systems based on N2H4 and surface "clean" Rh2Ni nanocrystal catalysts with defined shapes supported on carbon that possess a competitive performance in comparison with NaBH4 and NH3BH3 hydrogen-producing systems for fuel cell applications.

Abstract
Metal nanocrystals (NCs) are grown directly on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), which can maximize the rGO-NCs contact/interaction to achieve the enhanced catalytic activity. However, it is difficult to control the size and morphology of metal NCs by in situ method due to the effects of functional groups on the surface of GO, and as a result, the metal NCs/rGO hybrids are conventionally synthesized by two-step method. Herein, one-pot synthesis of Pt-Co alloy NCs is demonstrated with concave-polyhedrons and concave-nanocubes bounded by {hkl} and {hk0} high-index facets (HIFs) distributed on rGO. GO can affect the geometry and electronic structure of Pt-Co NCs. Thanks to the synergy of the HIFs and the electronic effect of the intimate contact/interaction between Pt-Co alloy and rGO, these as-prepared Pt-Co NCs/rGO hybrids presents enhanced catalytic properties for the electrooxidation of formic acid, as well as for the oxygen reduction reaction.

Abstract
A concave rhombic dodecahedron (RD) gold nanoparticle was synthesized by adding 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) during growth from seeds. This shape is enclosed by stabilized facets of various high-indexes, such as (331), (221), and (553). Because it is driven thermodynamically and stabilized by 4-ATP ligands, the concave RD maintains its structure over a few months, even after rigorous electrochemical reactions. We discussed the mechanism of the shape evolution controlled by 4-ATP and found that both the binding energy of Au-S and the aromatic geometry of 4-ATP are major determinants of Au atom deposition during growth. As a possible application, we demonstrated that the concave RD exhibits superior electrocatalytic performance for the selective conversion of CO2 to CO in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Currently, peptide-based protein-recognition has been recognized as an effective and promising approach for protein assays. However, sandwiched peptide-based biosensor with high sensitivity and low background has not been proposed before. Herein, a sandwiched electrochemiluminescence (ECL) peptide-based biosensor is constructed for Cyclin A(2) (CA2), a prognostic indicator in early stage of multiple cancers, based on nanosheets with hollow, magnetic, and ECL self-enhanced properties. First, hollow and magnetic manganese oxide nanocrystals (H-Mn(3)O(4)) are synthesized using triblock copolymeric micelles with core-shell-corona architecture as templates. Then, polyethyleneimine (PEI) and the composite of platinum nanoparticles and tris (4,4'-dicarboxylicacid-2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium (II) (PtNPs-Ru) are immobilized on H-Mn(3)O(4) to form H-Mn(3)O(4) -PEI-PtNPs-Ru nanocomposite, in which PEI as coreactant can effectively enhance the luminous efficiency and PtNPs as nanochannels can greatly accelerate the electron transfer. Finally, due to the coordination between Eu(3+) and carboxyl, the obtained H-Mn(3)O(4) -PEI-PtNPs-Ru aggregates locally to form sheet-like nanostructures ((H-Mn(3)O(4) -PEI-PtNPs-Ru)(n) -Eu(3+)), by which the luminous efficiency is further increased. Based on the nanosheets and two designed peptides, a sandwiched ECL biosensor, using palladium nanocages synthesized through galvanic replacement reaction as substrate, is proposed for CA2 with a linear range from 0.001 to 100 ng mL(-1) and a detection limit of 0.3 pg mL(-1).

Abstract
We investigate the effect of gold (Au) seeds prepared in cetyltrimethylammonium chloride solution (CTAC-Au seeds) on the index facets of trisoctahedral gold nanocrystals (TOH Au NCs). We demonstrate that monodisperse {331}-faceted TOH Au NCs with controllable sizes (from 60 to 255 nm) can be successfully prepared in high yield by using 3.0 nm CTAC-Au seeds or as-prepared 70 nm TOH Au NCs as seeds. We find that the electrocatalytic performance on methanol oxidation and surface enhancement Raman spectroscopy (SERS) activity of {331}-faceted TOH Au NCs is size-dependent. In comparison with well-known nanoporous gold (0.088 mA cm(-2)), {331}-faceted TOH Au NCs with sizes of 110 nm exhibit fairly high catalytic activity (0.178 mA cm(-2)) on methanol oxidation (1.0 M) in alkaline media due to the presence of increasing density of atomic steps, ledges, and kinks on the NC surfaces. Their current density is reduced by less than 7% after 500 cycling tests. {331}-Faceted TOH Au NCs with sizes of 175 nm exhibit the highest SERS activity for 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) molecules. The enhancement factors of a1 modes of 4-ATP molecules can reach the order of 10(9) when the 4-ATP concentration is 3 × 10(-6) M. Moreover, Raman signals (ag modes) of 4,4'-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) molecules on TOH Au NCs are stronger than those on spherical Au NCs of comparable size due to the enhanced laser-induced transformation of 4-ATP molecules by high-index {331}-facets during SERS measurement. Furthermore, the SERS intensities of 4-methylbenzenethiol (4-MTP) molecules on TOH Au NCs are also higher than those on spherical Au NCs of comparable size due to sharp extremities.

Abstract
The great success of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) for in vitro diagnosis (IVD) and its promising potential in light-emitting devices greatly promote recent ECL studies. More than 45% of ECL articles were published after 2010, and the first international meeting on ECL was held in Italy in 2014. This critical review discusses recent vibrant developments in ECL, and highlights novel ECL phenomena, such as wireless ECL devices, bipolar electrode-based ECL, light-emitting electrochemical swimmers, upconversion ECL, ECL resonance energy transfer, thermoresponsive ECL, ECL using shape-controlled nanocrystals, and ECL as an ion-selective electrode photonic reporter, a paper-based microchip, and a self-powered microfluidic ECL platform. We also comment on the latest progress in bioassays, light-emitting devices and, the computational approach for the ECL mechanism study. Finally, perspectives and key challenges in the near future are addressed (198 references).
