Summary: The detection of RuCp complex in human urine using MALDI-TOF MS without prior purification or removal of inorganic salts was successfully achieved. Different acquisition conditions showed varying levels of sensitivity and precision, with the matrix-free approach and DHB matrix demonstrating the highest sensitivity and precision in urine samples. Higher sensitivity of matrix-free MALDI detection of RuCp can be achieved by adding carbon dots to the urine solution.

Summary: By hydrothermal reaction, two highly fluorescent N and S co-doped carbon dots (N, S-CDs-A and N, S-CDs-B) were synthesized using reactive red 2 (RR2) and L-cysteine or L-methionine. The synthesized carbon dots showed maximum fluorescence at 565 nm and 615 nm with moderate intensity. The doping of S and N was found to be beneficial for the red-shift of fluorescence spectra. The carbon dots exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity towards Fe3+ and Al3+ ions, and one of them was successfully used for cell imaging.

Summary: NiO and NiCo2O4 were integrated into a dodecahedron structure via a facile in-situ calcination method. The resulting N-Ccx@NiO/NiCo2O4 heterostructures, with the conductive network provided by the nitrogen-doped carbon capsules (N-Cc), exhibited stable interfacial structure, excellent electrolyte adsorption, and electron transfer pathways. Based on DFT calculations and electrochemical experiments, this work provides an effective in situ route for the construction of high-performance metal oxide heterostructure electrode materials for new energy storage devices.

Summary: Biomass-derived N/S dual-doped porous carbon adsorbent MZ-NSPC exhibits excellent adsorption capacity, short equilibrium time, and good reusability due to its large BET surface area, hierarchically porous structure, and N/S heteroatoms dual-doping. Doped N, S heteroatoms synergistically promote the adsorption performance, mainly targeting oxidized-S and pyridinic-N sites. The adsorption mechanisms for bisphenol F involve hydrophobic interaction, pi-pi interaction, and hydrogen bonding interaction, while those for bisphenol S are mainly controlled by pi-pi interaction. This study not only advances the development of low-cost and sustainable heteroatom-doped carbon materials but also systematically investigates the adsorption mechanisms for bisphenols.

Summary: The urgent need for a powerful method for high-throughput and sensitive analysis of small bio-molecules and environmental contaminants is addressed in this study. A three-dimensional foam made of nitrogen and sulfur co-doped porous carbon nanosheet was used as a matrix for efficient detection of various small biomolecules and pollutant compounds using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The N, S-C nanosheet exhibited superior characteristics such as carbon foam resonant chamber, high N/S heteroatom co-doping, large surface area, hierarchical pore, and good UV absorption. The use of N, S-C matrix resulted in higher MS intensities, lower background noise, better salt tolerance, and higher sensitivity compared to traditional CHCA matrix and control materials. The study also demonstrated the rapid and precise detection of pollutants in real environmental samples using this method. Density functional theory simulations were conducted to understand the sensing mechanism of small molecular deprotonation with N and S co-doping in the carbon matrix. This work provides a promising carbon matrix for the analysis of MALDI-TOF MS in the biological and environmental field.

Summary: The influence of electrode potential on the SERS intensities and wavenumbers of 2-methylpyrazine (2MP) was analyzed using a resonant charge transfer (CT) mechanism. A theoretical model was employed, simulating the metallic surface and its charge density with atomic silver clusters of different size and charge. The wavenumber shifts and SERS-CT spectra were calculated for metal-adsorbate supermolecules using a time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method. The results showed the importance of DFT calculations in explaining the role of specific vibrational modes and detecting the CT mechanism in SERS.

Summary: In this study, the photodissociation of protonated derivatives of N-nitrosodimethylamine was investigated using the CASPT2 method. It was found that only one of the possible protonated species, N-nitrosoammonium ion, absorbed in the visible region and dissociated to produce aminium radical cation and nitric oxide. The intramolecular proton migration reaction was found to be inaccessible in both the ground and excited state. In acidic solutions of aprotic solvents, only the formation of [(CH3)(2)NH-NO](+) was observed.

This study showcases the design of redox-responsive dendrimer nanogels loaded with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and chemotherapeutic drug toyocamycin (Au/Toy@G3 NGs) for ultrasound-enhanced cancer therapy. The nanogels possess good stability and can release Au NPs and Toy in the tumor microenvironment. The released Toy induces cancer cell apoptosis and immunogenic cell death, while the Au NPs remodel the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
