Of them, Rb1.32Bi3.56P2O11 exhibits a significant phase-matching SHG response (2.8 × KDP) and large birefringence (0.062 @ 532 nm, 0.053@1064 nm), along with an expanded UV transmission window. Moreover, theoretical analyses revealed that the optimized optical polarizability of Rb1.32Bi3.56P2O11 primarily arises from the cooperative effects of the one-dimensional (1D) polycationic Bi(2)Bi(2)×Bi(1)Bi(1)×Bi(1)Bi(1)×Bi(2)Bi(2) ribbons and [PO4] tetrahedron.

While amplification-based techniques like PCR offer high sensitivity, they are constrained by the need for complex instrumentation and skilled personnel, limiting their use in decentralized settings. Electrochemical biosensors are attractive for point-of-care testing due to their speed and portability, but are hindered by probe immobilization variability, sample interference, and labeling requirements. There is a clear need for robust, label-free, and easy-to-use DNA biosensors capable of performing reliably in real-world complex matrices.<h3>Results</h3>We present a label-free impedimetric DNA biosensor integrating screen-printed gold electrodes (AuSPEs) with an optimized 3D-printed fluidic cell. This innovative design ensures consistent probe immobilization while significantly improving hybridization efficiency through controlled convective transport, as demonstrated by COMSOL simulations. The platform achieves sensitive detection with a LOD of 0.1 pM (0.6 pg/mL) in PBS buffer using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), eliminating requirements for target amplification or extensive sample preparation. The biosensor maintains excellent performance in complex biological media, successfully detecting target sequences in untreated <em>S. cerevisiae</em> culture supernatants with minimal matrix interference. Furthermore, the system demonstrates exceptional discrimination capability, reliably identifying single-base mismatches while exhibiting minimal cross-reactivity with supernatants from non-target microorganisms (<em>E. coli</em> and <em>C. albicans</em>). These results highlight the system’s sensitivity, selectivity, and robustness for nucleic acid detection.<h3>Significance</h3>This study represents a notable advancement in electrochemical biosensing, introducing a modular, amplification-free platform capable of highly sensitive DNA detection in both buffer solutions and complex biological samples. Its low cost, operational simplicity, and reliable performance in real-world matrices make it a promising candidate for point-of-care applications. This approach offers a practical alternative for molecular diagnostics and monitoring in clinical, environmental, and industrial contexts.","PeriodicalId":240,"journal":{"name":"Analytica Chimica Acta","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144857971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we systematically explore the effects of these modifiers on the accuracy of free energy calculations using model systems: Lennard-Jones spheres, all-atom anthracene in water with GROMACS, and alkane chains in water with LAMMPS. Our results reveal that free energies of solvation using potential switching and particle-mesh Ewald summation of long-range Lennard-Jones are essentially independent of cutoff in solution, while force switching and potential shifting introduce cutoff-dependent behavior that is significant enough to affect the utility of the calculations.","PeriodicalId":45,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144857818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes the grain boundary oxygen mechanism (GBOM) and validates it using Zn-RuO2@ZnO in OER. An optimal GB density in Zn-RuO2@ZnO achieves an overpotential of 170 mV and 600 h durability at 10 mA cm-2. As an anode catalyst in proton-exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs), Zn-RuO2@ZnO exhibits exceptional stability (>300 h at 500 mA cm-2) and high efficiency, requiring only 1.68 V to deliver 1 A cm-2 under 60 °C. Notably, the reduced symmetry at GBs enhances the Ru 4dxy-O 2p hybridization, manifested as a distinct antiferromagnetic state, which activates the GBOM pathway and stabilizes its operation through electron transfer into lower-energy orbitals. Our findings highlight that GBs with antiferromagnetic characteristics offer an intriguing design strategy for developing highly active and stable OER catalysts.","PeriodicalId":49,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Chemical Society","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144857672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, persistent membrane fouling caused by oil deposition remains a major challenge, significantly hindering their practical implementation in industrial settings. In this work, thiol-ene photochemistry was employed to synthesize PEGylated silica nanoparticles (SiO2-g-PEGDA) using poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) and hexanedithiol (HD) as monomers. Biomimetic PVDF membranes were engineered via vapor-induced phase separation (VIPS) by integrating SiO2-g-PEGDA nanoparticles, followed by secondary coagulation in a dopamine (DA) solution. The experimental results demonstrate that the biomimetic membranes exhibit a characteristic sponge-like cross-sectional morphology and well-defined rough surface microstructures, which are attributed to the synergistic roles of SiO2-g-PEGDA as nanofillers and DA as interfacial cross-linker during secondary phase separation. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses confirm that the combined action of nanoparticles and PDA significantly increases the density of hydrophilic functional groups on membrane surfaces and within pore channels. The membranes exhibit excellent hydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity, achieving an outstanding emulsion flux of 3537 Lm-2 h-1 bar-1 and an oil removal efficiency of 98.5%. After 15 cycles of oil-water separation, the membranes maintain a high flux recovery rate of 85.6%. Moreover, the biomimetic membranes possess exceptional operational stability, as evidenced by consistent surface wettability under organic solvents, strong acid and high-salinity conditions.","PeriodicalId":50,"journal":{"name":"Langmuir","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144857768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach has also been extended to the three-component amination to furnish a diarylamine product via the creation of C-N-C bonds.
