Dysregulated cellular ferrous ion (Fe2+) levels lead to various diseases. Despite existing Fe2+ detection methods, achieving sensors with simultaneous high sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response via rational design remains challenging. To address this, a coordination competition strategy was proposed to construct phenanthroline-modified lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Phen-Ln-MOFs). This approach leverages Phen's preferential coordination affinity for Fe2+ over Ln(3+) ions, enabling colorimetric-fluorescent dual-mode Fe2+ recognition. The optimized TFP-1 sensor exhibits exceptional selectivity and real-time sensing ability for Fe2+, demonstrated by luminescence quenching with a record-low detection limit (LOD) of 1 nM and a distinct colorless-to-brick-red chromatic transition. Crucially, TFP-1 maintains high precision (RSD <7.07%) with a low LOD of 100 nM in complex biological matrices like artificial urine, highlighting its clinical and environmental monitoring potential. This strategy proves generalizable across diverse Phen-Ln-MOF systems, and establishes a robust platform for highly selective and sensitive dual-mode Fe2+ detection.
To solve the problems of severe volume changes, poor mechanical stability, and slow reaction kinetics of metal sulfides as high-capacity electrodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The hetero-structured Co9S8/Ni3S2 nano-particles embedded in carbon nanofibers (Co9S8/Ni3S2/CNFs) composite, acting as the flexible self-supporting film, was prepared in situ using a combination of electrospinning and heat treatment. The Co9S8/Ni3S2 heterostructures would increase interface defects, provide more electroactive sites, and improve the reaction kinetics of electrodes. Meanwhile, CNFs could not only improve the conductivity of electrodes, but also stabilize the electrode structure. In addition, the formation of a three-dimensional network structure increases the contact area with the electrolyte and shortens the ion transport distance. Combined with experimental characterization, electrochemical testing, and density functional theory (DFT) calculation, the excellent performance of Co9S8/ Ni3S2 heterostructures is revealed. When directly applied as anodes for LIBs, the Co9S8/Ni3S2/CNFs electrode exhibits a high discharge capacity of 735.0 mAh g-1 at a current density of 200 mA g-1 for 150 cycles. And after 300th cycle at 1000 and 2000 mA g-1, there are still discharge capacities of 469.5 and 297.0 mAh g-1, respectively. Especially, at the high current density of 5000 mA g-1, a reversible discharge capacity of 202.5 mAh g-1 assembled pouch battery can still work safely and normally under multiple static and dynamic repeated bending. This work provides new strategies to design high-performance metal sulfides electrodes for the future energy storage and the flexible devices. can be retained after 1000 cycles. In addition, utilizing the flexibility of Co9S8/Ni3S2/CNFs composite, the
To address the issues of severe volume expansion, poor mechanical stability, and sluggish reaction kinetics in high-capacity copper sulfide CuS anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) during charge-discharge processes, the coral-like CuS@C composite with core-shell nanostructure was successfully prepared via a facile one-step hydrothermal method. The nanoscale CuS particles significantly increased the specific surface area, shortened the electron transport path, and created abundant active sites for lithium storage, thereby facilitating the rapid lithium diffusion. Meanwhile, the carbon coating served as an excellent buffer material, effectively accommodating volume changes, stabilizing the electrode structure, and enhancing the overall electronic conductivity of the electrode. Additionally, the carbon coating effectively inhibited the agglomeration of CuS nanoparticles, providing more active sites for lithium ion insertion. Benefiting from the synergistic effect between carbon and CuS nanoparticles, the CuS@C composite demonstrated outstanding electrochemical performance, maintaining a high specific capacity of 786.6 mAh g- 1 after 200 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g- 1. Moreover, under varying current densities of 5000 and 2000 mA g- 1, the electrode retained a capacity of 495.9 mAh g- 1 after 1000 cycles, showcasing exceptional cycling stability and rate performance. This core-shell structural design and straightforward synthesis method can be extended to the preparation of other metal sulfides, offering more options for improving metal sulfide anodes of LIBs.
Chiral enantiomers, particularly amino acids, frequently display distinct physiological activities and biological functions. Consequently, it is crucial to distinguish their absolute conformations. Herein, a pair of chiral sensors, UiO-L-Pro and UiO-D-Pro, were obtained by immobilizing the chiral center L-proline (L-Pro) and D-proline (D- Pro) into a Zr-based metal-organic framework (MOF) via a condensation reaction. Fluorescence analyses revealed a notable difference in the enhancement of fluorescence intensity between UiO-L-Pro and UiO-D-Pro when treated with L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) or D-phenylalanine (D-Phe), demonstrating enantioselective luminescence properties. Differences based on hydrogen bond interaction give them significant enantioselectivity factors alpha. The enantioselectivity factors alpha (alpha = KBH(D-Phe)/KBH(L-Phe)) for UiO-L-Pro and UiO-D-Pro were 4.15 and 0.47, respectively. Thus, the chiral material could be employed to identify different configurations of phenylalanine.
To meet the future development of high‐performance aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) with high energy density, low cost, and excellent cycle stability, an innovative strategy is developed to treat diamond residue graphite and integrate nanostructured MnO 2 onto its surface via simple hydrothermal and heat treatment methods. In the MnO 2 @MG composite, the presence of modified graphite (MG) restricts the degree of freedom of MnO 2 growth, resulting in the formation of smaller MnO 2 structures and avoiding the accumulation and aggregation of MnO 2 , which helps to improve the interface charge transport of composite electrodes. Meanwhile, the MG could effectively slow the structural collapse of MnO 2 during charging/discharging and improve the conductivity of MnO 2 . Based on the synergistic core–shell structure, the AZIBs employing MnO 2 @MG exhibit superior capacity (332.0 mA h g −1 at 100 mA g −1 over 300 cycles), excellent rate capabilities (208.1 mA h g −1 at 500 mA g −1 ), and outstanding cycling performance (48.1% capacity retention after 2000 cycles) at high current density. This work demonstrates the successful and large‐scale conversion of industrial diamond residue graphite into a high‐performance cathode of AZIBs.

Two new isostructural lanthanide(III)-metal organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), namely [Ln2(FDA)3(TMS)2(H2O)2]& sdot;H2O (Ln = Eu 1 and Tb 2, H2FDA = 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, TMS = tetramethylene sulfone), have been synthesized and characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that both Ln-MOFs exhibit three-dimensional structures crystallizing in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Luminescent sensing studies indicate that 1 and 2 possess commendable capabilities for detecting Fe3+ and Cr3+, with low detection limits of 20.00 nM and 43.41 nM for 1 and 66.10 nM and 0.37 mu M for 2, respectively. Furthermore, the investigation into the mechanism revealed the quenching of Fe3+ can be ascribed to the dual effects of inner filter effect (IFE) and the static quenching. Conversely, the dynamic quenching mechanism has played a predominant role during the sensing process of Cr3+.
Being one of the ternary metal oxides, different zinc stannate (ZnSnO3) nanostructures, including nanoparticles, nanowires, nanocubes, and nanosheets, have been synthesized and investigated for various applications, such as catalysts, phonics, sensors, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The ZnSnO3 has received immense attention as potential anode materials for LIBs due to their high theoretical specific capacity, moderate intercalation and delithiation potential, abundant reserves, low cost, high safety, and environmental protection. In this study, a carbon-coated ZnSnO3 composite (ZnSnO3/C) was prepared using a one-step in situ hydrothermal method with glucose as a carbon source. The microscopic morphology of the as-prepared materials was observed using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectra, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to analyze the phase composition and structure of the composite. The electrochemical properties were investigated through constant charge–discharge tests, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. When used as anode materials of LIBs, the prepared ZnSnO3/C composite electrode exhibited excellent lithium storage performance with an improved cycling performance and high capacities. A specific capacity value of 1274.9 mA·h·g−1 for ZnSnO3/C composite is much higher than that of pure ZnSnO3 electrode (491 mA·h·g−1) after 200 cycles at a current density of 200 mA·g−1. The ZnSnO3/C electrode retained a discharge capacity of 663.2 mA·h·g−1 even after 500 cycles at a high current density of 5000 mA·g−1, exhibiting excellent rate capability. Such remarkable electrochemical properties of the ZnSnO3/C composite are preferable to those of complex and costly ZnSnO3-based composites reported previously. The superior lithium storage performance of the ZnSnO3/C composite is attributed to the synergistic effect between the carbon coating on the surface and ZnSnO3 nanoparticles. Moreover, the composite exhibits the following attributes: (1) High conductivity of the carbon in the ZnSnO3/C composite can considerably enhance the conductivity of the electrode for facilitating electron transmissions. (2) The structure of nanoparticles can reduce the diffusion distance of Li+ and provide a large electrode-electrolyte contact area for high Li+ flux across the interface, leading to a high reversible specific capacity. (3) The ZnSnO3 nanoparticles and flexible carbon layer can generate a double buffering structure to retard the huge volume expansion of active materials during repeated charge–discharge cycles. (4) More importantly, the carbon coating layer can avoid side reactions by preventing direct contact between the ZnSnO3 hollow cubes and electrolytes and inhibiting the agglomeration of ZnSnO3 during the cycling process. Thus, this research may provide a new avenue for synthesizing bimetal oxide with a core–shell structure for high-performance energy storage materials, considering the simple principles involved in its preparation.

Metal sulfides possess great potential for high-performance rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this work, Bi2S3 with a lemongrass-like morphology was successfully synthesized via a facile solvothermal growth, followed by subsequent calcination. When employed as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries, the Bi2S3 showed a high reversible capacity, a better cycling stability, and a superior rate performance. A reversible capacity of 686 mAh g−1 was obtained at a current density of 200 mA g−1 after 150 cycles. When the current density was increased to 2000 mA g−1, Bi2S3 could deliver a capacity of more than 400 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles. This excellent electrochemical performance could be attributed to the featured structure of lemongrass-like Bi2S3, which can accommodate volume changes, shorten the ionic diffusion path, and enlarge the material/electrolyte contact area.
