In this study, Cu_xS/Cu electrodes with tunable morphologies, including spheres, films, polygons, and cubes, were synthesized, and the surface sulfur content was systematically tuned through electrodeposition followed by controlled sulfidation. Performance evaluation in MEA systems reveals that sulfidation markedly enhances C₂H₄ selectivity and partial current density (PCD). For spherical Cu electrodes, sulfidation to a S/Cu surface ratio of 0.33 resulted in a 1.76-fold increase in C₂H₄ PCD, from 58.2 to 102.5 mA/cm² at 3.2 V. In situ Raman spectroscopy suggests that sulfur coordination stabilizes bridge-bonded CO and promotes the formation of the CH₂CHO intermediate, which is consistent with the enhanced C₂H₄ activity. Density functional theory calculations reveal that Cu-rich sulfide surfaces, including Cu₂S and Cu₃₁S₁₆, stabilize *OCCO intermediates, suggesting a thermodynamically favorable C–C coupling reaction pathway through synergistic Cu–S coordination. These findings identify surface sulfur incorporation as a structural motif that actively promotes CO dimerization and enhances C₂H₄ selectivity under MEA conditions.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":712,"journal":{"name":"Nano Convergence","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s40580-026-00581-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149189812","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}

In this study, single phase Ru_0.30Cr_0.31Mn_0.39O₂ nanofibers were prepared through electrospinning process followed by temperature-regulated heat treatment. The temperature regulation process induces a unique formation of a hollow tube-in-tube structure while simultaneously influencing crystallinity and defect distribution. Among the prepared samples, the material treated at 400 °C shows the most favorable performance for OER. This behavior is associated with improved transport properties and increased accessibility of catalytically active sites. The catalyst reaches an overpotential of only 211 mV at 10 mA cm^− 2 and maintains stable operation in alkaline electrolyte. The mass-normalized activity and turnover frequency (TOF_metal) are significantly 293- and 104-fold higher than those of commercial RuO₂, respectively, highlighting its superior catalytic efficiency with reduced Ru content. Theoretical calculations based on density functional theory suggest that the incorporation of Cr and Mn modulates the electronic structure of RuO₂, particularly near the Fermi level, and adjusts the d-band center position. These changes lower the energy barrier associated with the O* to OOH* step. The results thus demonstrate that simultaneous control of composition and morphology can improve OER performance in alkaline media.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":712,"journal":{"name":"Nano Convergence","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s40580-026-00582-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149132993","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}

However, the sensitivity of existing systems is limited because conventional colorimetric probes generate inherently weak signals, making the reliable detection of ultralow-abundance Exo-miRs difficult without amplification. Here, we firstly report an amplification-free colorimetric biosensor based on a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)/gold nanoparticle (Au)/molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) nanobiohybrid catalyst (HRP/Au/MoS₂) that generates intense chromogenic signals via synergistic catalytic interactions. In this nanoparticle, MoS₂ provides a high-surface-area scaffold with intrinsic peroxidase-like activity, Au nanoparticles facilitate efficient electron transfer, and HRP contributes to high catalytic turnover. Together, these features markedly enhance the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and the resulting blue coloration. Using this signal-amplifying HRP/Au/MoS₂, a magnet-based sensing system was constructed by immobilizing the HRP/Au/MoS₂ onto magnetic nanobeads (MNBs) through biotinylated single-stranded RNA linkers (MNB–ssRNA–HRP/Au/MoS₂). This construction was then integrated into a CRISPR/Cas13a assay, in which the target miR-155 activates Cas13a, which cleaves the ssRNA linkers, releasing the HRP/Au/MoS₂ into solution for colorimetric readout. The resulting biosensor exhibits a detection range of 1 fM–1 nM (LOD = 0.82 fM), and single-nucleotide specificity without nucleic acid amplification. Furthermore, our system enables detection of Exo-miR-155 in both cell-derived exosomes and clinical samples, distinguishing cancer patients from healthy donors. Therefore, this platform represents a promising approach for highly sensitive, selective, simple, and time-efficient detection of Exo-miR, which can be used for liquid biopsy-based early cancer detection.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":712,"journal":{"name":"Nano Convergence","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13627550/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149102596","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}

Experimental results on CIFAR-10 using ViT-Tiny show that the proposed method improves the accuracy-throughput tradeoff compared with standard Token Merging. In particular, selectively merging the least significant token group with a layer-dependent schedule achieves 97.41% accuracy and 19.04 images/s, compared with 97.22% accuracy and 18.97 images/s for standard Token Merging. Additional ImageNet-1 K evaluations using ViT-Tiny, ViT-Small, and ViT-Base show that selective merging in an shallow-layer window preserves more of the baseline accuracy than standard ToMe while retaining an inference speedup.
