Cascade reaction triggered colorimetric array for identification of organophosphorus pesticides congeners
Biosens Bioelectron. 2024 Feb 24;253:116143. doi: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116143. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA modern agriculture uses alternative pest control methods to boost productivity, leading to an accumulation of organophosphorus (OPPs) congeners. This necessitates an intuitive and quick way to identify OPPs congeners. A colorimetric sensor for detecting OPPs congeners using a double-enzyme cascade reaction has been successfully designed and constructed in this study. The OPPs regulate the color changes induced by manganese dioxide nanoflowers (MnO2 NFs) and specific alkaline phosphatases (ALP) during the etching of...

Unlocking Double Redox Reaction of Metal-Organic Framework for Aqueous Zinc-Ion Battery
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2024 Mar 6:e202401996. doi: 10.1002/anie.202401996. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show wide application as the cathode of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) in the future owning to their high porosity, diverse structures, abundant species, and controllable morphology. However, the low energy density and poor cycling stability hinder the feasibility in practical application. Herein, an innovative strategy of organic/inorganic double electroactive sites is proposed and demonstrated to obtain extra capacity and enhance the energy density in a manganese-based metal-organi...

MnOx- < em > Coffea arabica < /em > Husk and < em > Catha edulis < /em > Leftover Biochar Nanocomposites for Removal of Methylene Blue from Wastewater
In this study, we investigated the use of manganese oxide-biochar nanocomposites (MnOx-BNC), synthesized from coffee husk (CH) and khat leftover (KL) for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from wastewater. Pristine biochars of each biomass (CH and KL) as well as their corresponding biochar-based nanocomposites were synthesized by pyrolyzing at 300°C for 1 h. The biochar-based nanocomposites were synthesized by pretreating 25 g of each biomass with 12.5 mmol of KMnO4. To assess the MB removal efficiency, we conducted preliminary tests using 0.2 g of each adsorbent, 20 mL of 20 mg·L-1 MB, pH 7.5, and shaking the mixture at...
