摘要：Untreated urea-rich wastewater exerts severeadverse impacts on both the environment and human health,prompting extensive attention towards the urea oxidationreaction (UOR) as a sustainable technology to generate cleanenergy in recent years. UOR has a thermodynamic advantageover oxygen evolution reaction (OER) (1.23 V vs reversiblehydrogen electrode, RHE) and only requires 0.37 V (vs RHE),which is considered as an effective alternative to H_(2) production by water electrolysis. However, the inevitable kineticslowness and complex adsorption/desorption during the processhinder its practical application. Most traditional catalystsutilized for the UOR are comprised of precious metals, resulting in limited economic viability. Inspired by natural ureases, Ni-based catalysts have emerged as promisingalternatives owing to their rich deposits, low cost, and theregulated d orbitals of transition metal Ni, demonstratingconsiderable potential for UOR. Currently, numerous studieshave explored Ni-based hydroxides, oxides, chalcogenides, andphosphides in alkaline solutions. In this review, we will explorethe UOR reaction mechanism and summarize the catalystdesign strategies of various Ni-based catalysts recently, especially Ni-MOF, which has been rarely discussed before. Then,the broad prospects of UOR in practical applications aresummarized. Finally, based on the design strategies and performance comparisons discussed above, the challenges andprospects facing the future development of Ni-based electrocatalysts for the UOR will be presented.

摘要：Accurate detection of multiple small end-metabolic biomarkers is more sensitive than large biomoleculesto provide real-time feedbacks of physiological/pathologicalstate, but is more challenging due to lack of specific identifyinggroups. Current optical platforms suffer from unsatisfactoryresolutions to differentiate each target because they producesimilar output to different targets using a single excitation,and inevitably involve non-functional components that increase chances of interacting with non-target ***, by taking full advantage of each building unit’sfunctionality to integrate multivariate recognition elements inone interface, a dual-excitation-driven full-component-responsive metal-organic framework (MOF)-based luminescentprobe, namely CeTMA-TMA-Eu, is successfully custom-tailored for detecting both pseudouridine (Ψ) and N-acetylaspartate (NAA), the diagnostic hallmarks of cancer andneurodegenerative disorder. Remarkably, Ψ interacts withMOF’s organic building unit (trimesic acid, TMA) and filtersout its absorptions of 262 nm-light to reduce its energytransferred to Eu^(3+), while NAA induces the valence transitionof Ce^(4+)/Ce^(3+) nodes to improve the cooperative energy transferefficacy from TMA and Ce^(3+) to Eu^(3+). As a result, this platformexhibits completely reverse photoresponses towards Ψ(“switch-off” at 262 nm excitation) and NAA (“switch-on”upon 296 nm excitation), and demonstrates excellent selectivity and sensitivity in complex biofluids, with low detection limits of 0.16 and 0.15 μM, and wide linear ranges of0–180 and 0–100 μM, respectively. Such full-componentresponsive probe with dual-excitation-mediated reverse responses for multi-small targets intrinsically minimizes its interaction with non-target molecules and amplifies resolutionto discriminate each target, providing a new strategy for improving assay accuracy of multi-small biomarkers in diagnostics.

摘要：Cobalt oxides, such as C0304 and CoO, have received increasing attention as potential anode materials for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries （LIBs） owing to their high theoretical capacity. Nanostructure engineering has been demonstrated as an effective approach to improve the electrochemical performance of electrode materials for LIBs. In this review, we summarize recent developments in the rational design and fabrication of various cobalt oxide-based nanomaterials and their lithium storage performance, including 1D nanowires/belts, 2D nanosheets, 3D hollow/hierarchical structures, hybrid nanostructures with carbon （amorphous carbon, carbon nanotubes and graphene） and mixed metal oxides. By focusing on the effects of their structure on their electrochemical performance, effective strategies for the fabrication of cobalt oxide/carbon hybrid nanostructures are highlighted. This review shows that by rational design, such cobalt-oxide-based nanornaterials are very promising as next generation LIB anodes.
