Here, we fabricated popcorn-shaped copper–erbium nanoalloys (CuEr NAs) via a simple one-pot coreduction method, resulting in stabilized nanoconstructs with dual enzyme-mimic activities. We described that CuEr NAs effectively inactivate <i>Escherichia coli</i> (<i>E. coli</i>) by generating intracellular ROS and depleting glutathione (GSH) through the release of copper ions. These ions induced oxidative stress by generating hydroxyl radicals (<sup>•</sup>OH) in acidic environments and oxidizing GSH to glutathione disulfide (GSSG), thereby amplifying ROS generation. CuEr NAs exhibited potent antibacterial activity and enhanced wound healing efficacy in an infected wound model by reducing the bacterial load, ameliorating inflammation, and promoting tissue remodeling. Histological analysis showed enhanced collagen deposition and re-epithelialization in wounds treated with CuEr NAs, highlighting their potential as a flexible platform for antimicrobial and regenerative biomedical applications.

Photothermal catalysis offers a sustainable, efficient, and energy-saving solution for indoor HCHO purification. In this study, we investigated the photothermal catalytic efficiency of HCHO using synthesized copper foam (CF)-based monolithic catalysts. By loading nanostructured cobalt oxide with varying morphologies onto the CF surface, it was observed that cobalt oxide with a three-dimensional (3D) flower-like structure exhibited the highest photothermal performance. Under ultraviolet–visible–near-infrared (UV–vis–NIR) light irradiation alone, this structure achieved a surface temperature of 148.5 °C and demonstrated removal efficiencies of 96.5% and 94.6% for 300 ppm of HCHO in batch and fixed-bed reactors, respectively. The high efficiency of HCHO purification is attributed to the enhanced oxygen mobility from the catalyst, which activates the Mars–van Krevelen (MvK) oxidation pathway of the C–H bond at elevated temperatures. Additionally, short-wave light excitation induces electron transitions, initiating a mechanism involving free radical oxidation.

The performance of such devices can be significantly improved by incorporating quantum dot materials, which enhance electron transfer and biomolecule immobilization. In this study, nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) were synthesized, characterized, and applied to the assembly of label-free electrochemical immunosensors for the detection of antibodies against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The N-GQDs consisted of spherical-shaped particles, with a relatively narrow size distribution between 12.1 and 16.4 nm. Material characterization also showed the presence of oxygen groups as well as the presence of nitrogen heteroatoms. The N-GQDs were electrodeposited on screen-printed carbon electrodes, and the recognition site (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 S-protein was immobilized on them. Devices were applied to the determination of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 RBD protein (Ab-RBD), and enabled analyte determination for the concentration level as low as 500 ng mL<sup>–1</sup> in the presence of a commercial serum matrix and a linear detection range up to 4.0 μg mL<sup>–1</sup>. Additionally, the immunosensor was selective toward the presence of antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (Ab-N) and enabled the differentiation of the response from negative and positive serum samples. The assembled device provided a stable analytical response for Ab-RBD detection when stored for up to 28 days. Therefore, the N-GQD material was obtained, and its performance as a modifying material for immunosensor assembly was successfully demonstrated, representing an alternative screening method to be employed in endemic and pandemic scenarios and to verify the efficiency of vaccines and humoral immunity.</p>","PeriodicalId":6,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Nano Materials","volume":"8 12","pages":"5908–5918 5908–5918"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.1021/acsanm.4c06568","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
