Summary: Developing highly accurate and ultrasensitive strategies is crucial for clinical measurements, especially in cancer biomarker detection. In this study, an ultrasensitive TiO2/MXene/CdS QDs heterostructure was synthesized as a photoelectrochemical immunosensor, utilizing the ultrathin MXene nanosheet to facilitate energy level matching and fast electron transfer. Incubating the TiO2/MX/CdS electrode with Cu2+ solution caused significant photocurrent quenching due to the formation of CuS and subsequent CuxS (x = 1, 2), reducing light absorption and increasing electron-hole recombination. The prepared biosensor exhibited a linearly increased photocurrent quenching percentage (Q%) with CEA concentration and a low detection limit of 0.24 fg/mL. Overall, this proposed strategy provides new opportunities for the clinical diagnosis of CEA and other tumor markers, offering excellent stability, high selectivity, and good reproducibility.

Summary: The carbonization of Fe-Co based metal organic frameworks in nitrogen can produce electrocatalysts with Fe-Co anchored on N-doped porous carbon, and adjusting the carbonization temperature can control the ratio of Fe and Co in the alloy. This subtle modification significantly enhances the electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions, suggesting that it is an effective method for preparing efficient non-noble metal bifunctional electrocatalysts for electrochemical water splitting.

Summary: Networks are important for describing relationships between people, roads between cities, reactions between chemicals, and other interactions. Bipartiteness, dividing the network into two groups, can facilitate the study of the network's structure. We have developed an algorithm that can find a near-optimal bipartisation within a reasonable time frame and used it to uncover the hidden structure of the CSD cocrystal network.
