Summary: Alcoholism leads to various diseases and societal burdens. NADH and NRH have been shown to enhance NAD+ concentration, reduce liver damage caused by alcohol, and promote alcohol metabolism. These compounds could potentially serve as nutraceutical or pharmacological agents for preventing and treating alcohol-induced liver injury.

Summary: Recently, there has been increased attention on the study of mimic enzymes. However, research on the oxidoreductase activity of electron mediators in the biological respiratory chain is still limited. In this study, we found that cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanorods can catalyze the formation of superoxide anions and exhibit NADH oxidase-like activity and Cyt c reductase-like activity. This provides a new perspective for the in-depth study of new nanozymes.

Summary: In this study, composite thin films of binary metal chalcogenides (CdxZn1-xS) and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were successfully fabricated via repetitive cyclic voltammetry. The incorporation of RGO enhanced the conductivity and prevented photocorrosion of the chalcogenides, leading to an increase in photocurrent density. The optimized composition of CdxZn1-xS and RGO composites showed significantly enhanced photoelectrochemical performance under solar light irradiation.

Summary: Cadmium zinc sulfoselenide (CdZnSSe) and reduced graphene oxide-cadmium zinc sulfoselenide (RGO)-CdZnSSe composite-based photoelectrodes were fabricated using a facile, simultaneous co-electrodeposition method for the first time. The rCV technique allowed for homogeneous decoration of CdZnSSe particles among RGO sheets, resulting in improved photoelectrochemical performance in hydrogen evolution. The Cd0.8Zn0.2S0.2Se0.8 photodecoration demonstrated the highest photocurrent density (4.08 mA cm-2), which was further increased to 5.00 mA cm-2 by decorating with RGO. The proposed rCV technique showed superiority in fabricating well-controlled RGO-CdZnSSe composite photoelectrodes.

Summary: In this study, the electrochemiluminescence of sulfur quantum dots in a cathodic co-reactant was investigated. A highly sensitive ECL biosensor based on the selective quenching of ECL emission from the quantum dots by NADH was developed for the detection of total bacterial count. The sensor showed a linear response to NADH concentration and achieved a detection limit of 1 pM. It was successfully applied to detect TBC in water samples with a good recovery rate.

Summary: Heterojunction fabrication using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique was used to construct CdS/MoS2 heterojunction photoanode for improved solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency. The optimized heterojunction with MoS2 wrapping showed higher photocurrent density and photoconversion efficiency, as well as better corrosion resistance and photostability compared to the pristine CdS. This work provides a versatile platform for developing other MoS2-based heterojunction photoelectrodes with extensive applications.

Summary: A sensing platform for the electrocatalytic oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) was proposed in this paper. The platform was prepared by electropolymerization of poly(thionine-methylene blue) (PTH-MB) in a ternary nature deep eutectic solvent (NADES) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), which was modified with electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERG). The modified electrode showed excellent electrocatalytic activity for NADH oxidation and promising biomedical applications in artificial urine samples.

Summary: A ratiometric fluorescent apta-sensor was developed for sensitive and selective detection of Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) bacteria in biological samples, based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between ortho-phenylenediamines carbon dot (o-CD), nitrogen-doped carbon nanodots (NCND) as donor's species, and graphene oxide (GO) as acceptor. The sensor showed a wide range of fluorescence intensity ratio variation with the change in bacterial concentration and a low detection limit, demonstrating its feasibility for selective detection of A. baumannii in urine samples.
