Herein, polypropylene (PP) separators are functionalized with ultrathin 2D anionic (H₃Sb₃P₂O₁₄) HSPO nanosheets to construct a negatively charged interfacial layer. The HSPO layer improves electrolyte affinity, increases the Li⁺ transference number from 0.5 to 0.8, and guides a more homogeneous Li⁺ flux toward the lithium metal surface. Density functional theory calculations indicate stronger interactions between HSPO and Li/electrolyte species than those on pristine PP, while finite-element simulations and in situ optical microscopy reveal a more uniform electric-field distribution and regulated lithium deposition process. As a result, Li||Cu cells show improved plating/stripping stability over 250 cycles, and the Li||Li symmetric cell achieves a sevenfold increase in lifespan.

In this work, Zr/Eu-metal-organic framework (Zr/Eu-MOFs) as an integrated bimetallic ratiometric fluorescent hydrogel sensor for fast and highly sensitive visual detection of glyphosate has been developed. By doping Eu³⁺ into a robust Zr-based MOF framework, Zr/Eu-MOFs exhibit dual-emission bands at 445 and 618 nm, enabling an intrinsic self-referenced signal without multicomponent assembly. Upon glyphosate addition, the sensor responds within 10 s. Zr/Eu-MOFs display a reliable ratiometric response over 0.05 - 10.0 mg/L with a low detection limit of 0.03 mg/L (0.2 μmol/L), which is far below the permissible maximum residue limit (MRL) for drinking water by the US EPA and China (4.1 μmol/L). Mechanistic evidence indicates that glyphosate forms P-O-Zr coordination linkages and interfacial interactions which modulate the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) process, resulting in an enhanced ratiometric fluorescence response at 445 nm, while the Eu³⁺ emission at 618 nm remains essentially unchanged. Moreover, an agarose hydrogel format coupled with smartphone image analysis enables rapid visual detection.

Herein, we have established an isothermal self-catalytic DNA circuit that can combine an autocatalytic hairpin assembly (ACHA) converter with autocatalytic hybridization chain reaction (AHCR) amplification for the sensitive detection of miRNA-21. HCR is initiated by the recognition of the target analyte, generating new trigger strands that subsequently activate the CHA amplifier. One terminus of the CHA amplifier is engineered to expose the identical HCR initiator sequence, thereby enabling sustained HCR propagation. The DNAzyme moiety at the opposite terminus functions as a fluorescent signal reporter, efficiently cleaving the fluorogenic reporter probe. Therefore, the self-catalytic feedback loop between the HCR and CHA systems allows trace targets to produce fluorescence signals with exponential amplification. This circuit conducted a sensitive, reliable and universal analysis of miRNA-21, with a detection limit of 33.4 fM.

Herein, we report a fluorescent Mn-based MOF nanozyme (Mn-TCPP) that exhibits intrinsic oxidase-like activity, capable of catalyzing the oxidation of non-fluorescent o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to fluorescent 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) with an emission peak at 560 nm, while the Mn-TCPP itself displays characteristic fluorescence at 655 nm. Upon exposure to Cu²⁺, the stronger affinity of Cu²⁺ toward the porphyrinic TCPP ligand displaces Mn²⁺ from the framework, forming Cu-TCPP. This metal-exchange process simultaneously quenches the 655 nm fluorescence of the MOF and attenuates its oxidase-mimicking activity, whereas free Cu²⁺ in solution independently catalyzes OPD oxidation, further enhancing the 560 nm emission. Leveraging this dual-response mechanism, we develop a ratiometric fluorescence sensing strategy for Cu²⁺ detection based on the intensity ratio F₅₆₀/F₆₅₅. The calibration curve follows a linear equation: F₅₆₀/F₆₅₅ = 0.201x-0.001 (0.2-10 μM, R² = 0.985) and y = 0.002x+2.061 (10-100 μM, R² = 0.994) with the limit of detection (LOD) of 81 nM (S/N = 3). The sensor exhibits excellent selectivity over competing metal ions, and the method reliability is validated by standard addition recovery experiments in real water and rice samples. Furthermore, the Mn-TCPP nanozyme is embedded into an agarose hydrogel matrix, enabling visual, instrument-free monitoring of Cu²⁺ contamination: increasing Cu²⁺ concentrations induce a discernible fluorescence color transition from orange to yellow under 365 nm illumination.

Herein, we reported a synergistic photothermal-photocatalytic bilayer aerogel constructed with konjac glucomannan to integrate a photothermal lower layer of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and a catalytic upper layer of keto-form anthraquinone covalent organic framework (Kf-AQ-COF). Owing to its hydrophobic mesoporous structure, the bilayer aerogel forms a robust gas-liquid-solid triphase interface on a porous substrate. Under alkaline conditions, the hydroxide clusters adsorbed onto ketone moieties can drive the anthraquinone-anthrahydroquinone cycle of Kf-AQ-COF for enabling electron transfer and H₂O₂ production. Meanwhile, the underlying rGO layer functions primarily as a localized photothermal converter and lightweight structural matrix, raising the interfacial temperature to accelerate reaction kinetics and driving rapid vapor escape without altering the intrinsic band structure of the top photocatalyst. As a result, this photothermal-synergistic triphase interface achieves an H₂O₂ production rate of 15.0 mmol m^-2∙h^-1 under air without sacrificial agents within 60 min, which is 1.43 times that of the conventional solid-liquid diphase system.

Moreover, the potential clinical applicability of this platform is further verified by testing four clinical S. aureus strains against five antibiotics, yielding 95% categorical agreement rate with standard AST methods. The area under the receiver operating characteristic ROC curve (AUC) was 0.944, close to the ideal value of 1, indicating excellent diagnostic performance for AST.
