Abstract
Herein, a study for the first application of a hybridization chain reaction, a 1,8-naphthalimides-DNA (NDs) intercalator, and DNA-dependent Prussian blue nanoflowers@PtPd materials (PBNFs@PtPd) in the development of a fluorescence-electrochemical (FL-EC) aptasensor. This construction establishes an efficient sensing platform for the detection of procymidone (PCM). In the context of the described experiment, dual-mode detection is achieved through the generation of FL signals by an aptamer labeled with a Cy5 moiety and the formation of DPV signals by the modification of a thionine-appended 1,8-naphthalimide (Thi-NDs). In the presence of PCM, specific recognition occurs, followed by the utilization of magnetic separation technology to release DNA1 (S1) and aptamer-Cy5 (Apt-Cy5), subsequently introducing them onto both fluorescence and EC platforms. The presence of S1 effectively activates hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for the electrode surface, thereby significantly increasing the binding sites for Thi-NDs and consequently greatly amplifying the response signal of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The developed FL-EC dual-mode sensing platform demonstrates high sensitivity in the detection of PCM, with the detection limits of 0.173 μg·ml-1 (within the detection range of 500 pg·ml-1 to 500 ng·ml-1) and 0.074 ng·ml-1 (within the detection range of 100 pg·ml-1 to 100 ng·ml-1), respectively. The designed dual-mode sensor exhibits notable characteristics, including high selectivity, reproducibility, synergy, and reliable monitoring/capability for PCM in real samples.

Abstract
The development of urea oxidation reaction (UOR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) bifunctional electrocatalysts has dual significance in promoting hydrogen energy production and urea-rich wastewater treatment. Herein, a carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT-COOH)-ferrocene carboxylic acid (Fc-COOH) modulated NiMOF hybrid material (MWCNT-NiMOF(Fc)) has been synthesized for dual electrocatalysis of the UOR and OER. The material characterization results indicated that MWCNT-COOH and Fc-COOH were integrated into the framework structure of the NiMOF. The direct interaction between the NiMOF and MWCNT/Fc facilitated electron transfer in the hybrid material and led to lattice strain, which improved the charge transfer kinetics, promoted the exposure of more unsaturated Ni sites, and increased the electrochemically active surface area. These factors together enhanced the electrocatalytic activity of MWCNT-NiMOF(Fc) towards the UOR and OER. Using a glassy carbon electrode as the substrate, MWCNT-NiMOF(Fc) exhibited low potential requirements, low Tafel slopes, and high stability. In overall urea and water splitting electrolysis cells, the excellent UOR and OER dual functional catalytic ability and enormous practical application potential of the MWCNT-NiMOF(Fc) modified foam nickel electrode were further demonstrated. On the basis of the above research, the influence of a KOH environment on urea electrolysis was further studied, and the urea electrolysis products were analyzed, promoting a more comprehensive understanding of the catalytic performance of MWCNT-NiMOF(Fc) for urea oxidation. This study provides a new approach for developing high-performance NiMOF-based electrocatalysts for challenging bifunctional UOR/OER applications, and has potential application value in hydrogen production from urea-containing wastewater electrolysis.

Abstract
Soft tissue defects or pathologies frequently necessitate the use of biomaterials that provide the volume required for subsequent vascularization and tissue formation as autrografts are not always a feasible alternative. Supramolecular hydrogels represent promising candidates because of their 3D structure, which resembles the native extracellular matrix, and their capacity to entrap and sustain living cells. Guanosine-based hydrogels have emerged as prime candidates in recent years since the nucleoside self-assembles into well-ordered structures like G-quadruplexes by coordinating K+ ions and π-π stacking, ultimately forming an extensive nanofibrillar network. However, such compositions were frequently inappropriate for 3D printing due to material spreading and low shape stability over time. Thus, the present work aimed to develop a binary cell-laden hydrogel capable of ensuring cell survival while providing enough stability to ensure scaffold biointegration during soft tissue reconstruction. For that purpose, a binary hydrogel made of guanosine and guanosine 5'-monophosphate was optimized, rat mesenchymal stem cells were entrapped, and the composition was bioprinted. To further increase stability, the printed structure was coated with hyperbranched polyethylenimine. Scanning electron microscopic studies demonstrated an extensive nanofibrillar network, indicating excellent G-quadruplex formation, and rheological analysis confirmed good printing and thixotropic qualities. Additionally, diffusion tests using fluorescein isothiocyanate labeled-dextran (70, 500, and 2000 kDa) showed that nutrients of various molecular weights may diffuse through the hydrogel scaffold. Finally, cells were evenly distributed throughout the printed scaffold, cell survival was 85% after 21 days, and lipid droplet formation was observed after 7 days under adipogenic conditions, indicating successful differentiation and proper cell functioning. To conclude, such hydrogels may enable the 3D bioprinting of customized scaffolds perfectly matching the respective soft tissue defect, thereby potentially improving the outcome of the tissue reconstruction intervention.

Abstract
Tissue defects can lead to serious health problems and often require grafts or transplants to repair damaged soft tissues. However, these procedures can be complex and may not always be feasible due to a lack of available tissue. Hydrogels have shown potential as a replacement for tissue grafts due to their ability to support cell survival and encapsulate biomolecules such as growth factors. In particular, guanosine-based hydrogels have been explored as a potential solution, but they often exhibit limited stability which hampers their use in the biofabrication of complex grafts. To address this issue, we explored the use of borate ester chemistry and more complex boric acid derivatives to improve the stability and properties of guanosine-based hydrogels. We hypothesized that the aromatic rings in these derivatives would enhance the stability and printability of the hydrogels through added π-π stack interactions. After optimization, 13 compositions containing either 2-naphthylboronic acid or boric acid were selected. Morphology studies shows a well-defined nanofibrilar structure with good printable properties (thixotropic behaviour, print fidelity and printability). Moreover, the pH of all tested hydrogels was within the range suitable for cell viability (7.4–8.3). Nevertheless, only the boric acid-based formulations were stable for at least 7 days. Thus, our results clearly demonstrated that the presence of additional aromatic rings did actually impair the hydrogel properties. We speculate that this is due to steric hindrance caused by adjacent groups, which disrupt the correct orientation of the aromatic groups required for effective π-π stack interactions of the guanosine building block. Despite this drawback, the developed guanosine-boric acid hydrogel exhibited good thixotropic properties and was able to support cell survival, proliferation, and migration. For instance, SaOS-2 cells planted on these printed structures readily migrated into the hydrogel and showed nearly 100% cell viability after 7 days. In conclusion, our findings highlight the potential of guanosine-boric acid hydrogels as tissue engineering scaffolds that can be readily enhanced with living cells and bioactive molecules. Thus, our work represents a significant advancement towards the development of functionalized guanosine-based hydrogels.

Abstract
The multicomponent reaction-directed self-assembled hydrogels offer the opportunities to fabricate materials with ubiquitous properties which sometimes are not possible to generate from single components. Therefore, multicomponent-derived hydrogels have enormous applications in biomedical fields, and the number of such systems is increasing day by day. Herein, the multicomponent self-assembly techniques have been employed to develop a biomimetic low-molecular-weight G-quadruplex hydrogel under physiological conditions. The bioconjugation of guanosine, 4-formylphenylboronic acid, and cytosine-functionalized nucleopeptide (NP) is important to generate the multicomponent self-assembled dynamic imino-boronate ester-mediated bioconjugated G-quadruplex hydrogels. Using thioflavin T fluorescence assay, powder X-ray diffraction, and circular dichroism spectroscopic techniques, we confirm the existence of a G-quartet-like structure as the key parameter for the formation of nanofibrillar hydrogels. The multicomponent self-assembled G-quadruplex hydrogel possesses excellent inherent antibacterial activity against a broad range of bacterial species. The in vitro cytocompatibility of the synthesized hydrogel was evaluated on MCF-7 and HEK 293T cell lines to study the biocompatibility of the hydrogel. The proposed injectable, biocompatible, and NP-coupled G-quadruplex hydrogel with inherent antibacterial efficiency holds promising importance to prevent localized bacterial infections.

Abstract
Tissue engineering focuses on the development of materials as biosubstitutes that can be used to regenerate, repair, or replace damaged tissues. Alongside this, 3D printing has emerged as a promising technique for producing implants tailored to specific defects, which in turn increased the demand for new inks and bioinks. Especially supramolecular hydrogels based on nucleosides such as guanosine have gained increasing attention due to their biocompatibility, good mechanical characteristics, tunable and reversible properties, and intrinsic self-healing capabilities. However, most existing formulations exhibit insufficient stability, biological activity, or printability. To address these limitations, we incorporated polydopamine (PDA) into guanosine-borate (GB) hydrogels and developed a PGB hydrogel with maximal PDA incorporation and good thixotropic and printability qualities. The resulting PGB hydrogels exhibited a well-defined nanofibrillar network, and we found that PDA incorporation increased the hydrogel's osteogenic activity while having no negative effect on mammalian cell survival or migration. In contrast, antimicrobial activity was observed against the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Thus, our findings suggest that our PGB hydrogel represents a significantly improved candidate as a 3D-printed scaffold capable of sustaining living cells, which may be further functionalized by incorporating other bioactive molecules for enhanced tissue integration.

Abstract
Novel biomaterials for bio- and chemical sensing applications have gained considerable traction in the diagnostic community with rising trends of using biocompatible and lowly cytotoxic material. Hydrogel-based electrochemical sensors have become a promising candidate for their swellable, nano-/microporous, and aqueous 3D structures capable of immobilizing catalytic enzymes, electroactive species, whole cells, and complex tissue models, while maintaining tunable mechanical properties in wearable and implantable applications. With advances in highly controllable fabrication and processability of these novel biomaterials, the possibility of bio-nanocomposite hydrogel-based electrochemical sensing presents a paradigm shift in the development of biocompatible, "smart," and sensitive health monitoring point-of-care devices. Here, recent advances in electrochemical hydrogels for the detection of biomarkers in vitro, in situ, and in vivo are briefly reviewed to demonstrate their applicability in ideal conditions, in complex cellular environments, and in live animal models, respectively, to provide a comprehensive assessment of whether these biomaterials are ready for point-of-care translation and biointegration. Sensors based on conductive and nonconductive polymers are presented, with highlights of nano-/microstructured electrodes that provide enhanced sensitivity and selectivity in biocompatible matrices. An outlook on current challenges that shall be addressed for the realization of truly continuous real-time sensing platforms is also presented.

Abstract
Excessive residues of semicarbazide (SEM) can accumulate in animals after the original drug has been abused, posing a risk to human health. Herein, based on multifunctional silica-initiated dual mode signal response, a novel competitive-type immunosensor was constructed for ultrasensitive detection of SEM. As a preliminary signal amplification platform for immunosensors, polyethyleneimine reduced graphene oxide composite gold nanorods (PEI-rGO/AuNRs) modified gold electrodes (AuE) provide a high specific surface area and high electrical conductivity. The thionine-aminated silica nanospheres-AuPt (thi-SiO2@AuPt) were synthesized by a racile coprecipitation method for enzyme immobilization and redox species loading. The multifunctional silica nanosphere conjugated with labeling antibodies (Ab2) was employed as an immunoprobe. The per unit concentration target of SEM can be determined by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) to detect the thi loaded on the immunoprobe, which can also be determined by square wave voltammetry (SWV) to detect the current generated by the reaction system of H2O2 and hydroquinone (HQ) catalyzed by the immunoprobe with peroxidase. Under optimal conditions, the proposed immunosensor displayed a wide linear range from 1 μg-0.01 ng/mL and low detection limits (S/N = 3) of 0.488 pg/mL and 0.0157 ng/mL, respectively. Ultimately, the developed method exhibits excellent performance in practical applications, providing promising probabilities for SEM detection.

Abstract
Herein, an aptasensor based on target-induced strand displacement (TISD) strategy was developed for sensitive detection of T-2 toxin. Gold nanoparticles@ aminated manganese dioxide (AuNPs@NH2-MnO2) exhibited excellent electrical conductivity and provided more binding sites for aptamer (Apt). Besides, polyethyleneimine-reduced graphene oxide/gold‑platinum core-shell nanorods composites (PEI-rGO/Pt@Au NRs) were used to be carriers for signaling tags, as their sufficiently large specific surface area improved the loading capacity for signal molecules. In the presence of T-2, the Apt sequence was more inclined to form an Apt-T-2 complex, and the cDNA was displaced from the Apt-cDNA duplex, while the signal tag was released, resulting in a weakened MB signal, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used to record the signal change. Under optimal conditions, the signal response of the constructed electrochemical aptasensor exhibited a good linear relationship with the concentration of T-2. The detection limit was 8.74 × 10-7 ng mL-1over a wide range of concentration from 5 × 10-6 ng mL-1 to 5 ng mL-1. Furthermore, the proposed aptasensor had excellent specificity, good stability and can be well applied to the detection of real samples. It provided a new avenue for the research and development of sensitive aptasensors in food detection and analysis.

Abstract
Simple, effective, and eco-friendly sugar-based phase-selective gelators were synthesized at a low cost. They showed high gelling ability toward a wide range of solvents at lower concentrations (minimum gelation concentration ∼0.3%). Preliminary tests reveal that these low molecular weight organogelators can immediately and phase-selectively gel benzene, toluene, petrol, and kerosene in water at room temperature. We also identified G13 in toluene as the good gelator, and the corresponding organogel proficiently removes water-soluble dyes from their concentrated aqueous solutions. This efficient removal of toxic organic solvents and dyes from water suggests promising applications in removing organic substances from contaminated water resources. The thermoreversible gel exhibits effective rechargeability up to five cycles of burning and gelation, which imply the flame stability of the gel. Interestingly, these compounds had a high detection ability toward Cu2+ ions with a state change from gel to the solution. The physical justification for gelation mechanisms and the molecular interaction with metal ions were further confirmed by computational studies.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a leading cause of cancer mortality, is decisive for successful treatment of this type of cancer and increasing the patients' survival rate. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a glycoprotein that has been currently employed as a potential serological biomarker for determination of HCC and several other cancers. Achieving highly sensitive and specific detection of this biomarker is an effective strategy to inhibit developing issues caused by the cancer. Though, traditional procedures cannot meet the requirements due to the technical drawbacks. Recently, growing number of aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) attracted important attention as superior diagnostic tools because of their unique properties such as high stability, target versatility and remarkable affinity and selectivity. Nanomaterials, which broadly employed in the structure of these aptasensors, can considerably enhance the detection limit and sensitivity of analytes determination. Therefore, this review selectively investigated the recent progresses in several different optical and electrochemical aptasensors and nano-aptasensors designed for AFP assay.

Abstract
Conductive hydrogel is a vital candidate for the fabrication of flexible and wearable electric sensors due to its good designability and biocompatibility. These well-designed conductive hydrogel–based flexible strain sensors show great potential in human motion monitoring, artificial skin, brain computer interface (BCI), and so on. However, easy drying and freezing of conductive hydrogels with high water content greatly limited their further application. Herein, we proposed a natural polymer-based conductive hydrogel with excellent mechanical property, low water loss, and freeze-tolerance. The main hydrogel network was formed by the Schiff base reaction between the hydrazide-grafted hyaluronic acid and the oxidized chitosan, and the added KCl worked as the conductive filler. The reversible crosslinking in the prepared hydrogel resulted in its resilience and self-healing feature. At the same time, the synthetic effect of KCl and glycerol endowed our hydrogel with outstanding anti-freezing property, while glycerol also endowed this hydrogel with anti-drying property. When this hydrogel was assembled as a flexible strain sensor, it showed good sensitivity (GF = 2.64), durability, and stability even under cold condition (−37°C).

Abstract
The authors designed a sensitive label-free electrochemical aptasensor for the detection of sulfaquinoxaline (SQX), including the AuPd NPs@UiO-66-NH2/CoSe2 nanocomposites and RecJf exonuclease-assisted target recycle signal amplification strategy. AuPd NPs@UiO-66-NH2/CoSe2 nanocomposite with excellent conductivity and numerous active sites was successfully synthesized to provide a favorable sensing platform and load more double-strand DNA (dsDNA) on the electrode surface. The negatively charged phosphate group of the oligonucleotide and [Fe (CN)6] 3-/4- repel each other electrostatically, resulting in very low electrical signals. In the presence of SQX, its corresponding aptamer will be released from the double-stranded structure and then digested by RecJf exonuclease, which resulted in the SQX being released to initiate the next recycling to help amplify the DPV signal. Under the optimal conditions, the peak current has a linear relationship with the logarithmic of SQX concentration in the range of 1 pg/mL∼100 ng/mL and the obtained detection limit was 0.547 pg/mL. Furthermore, the contrasted aptasensor possess reliable specificity, reproducibility and stability toward SQX, and has been applied to detect SQX in pork samples with a satisfied recovery varied from 94.40% to 95.98%.

Abstract
In this work, we design an immunosensor for zearalenone (ZEN) detection with PEI-rGO/Pt@Au NRs nanocomposite as the modification material. PEI-rGO/Pt@Au NRs nanocomposite have good stability, conductivity and a large specific surface area, so they are chosen as the substrate material for the modified electrode, which is beneficial in improving the detection performance of the sensor. When antibody binds to ZEN, the current signal decreases, and the response signal changes after ZEN incubation, recorded by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methods. Under the optimised conditions, the electrochemical response of the constructed immunosensor shows a linear relation to a wide concentration range from 1 pg/mL to 1 × 106 pg/mL with a detection limit of 0.02 pg/mL. Additionally, the proposed electrochemical immunosensor has high selectivity, good stability and great potential for the trace detection of ZEN in real samples.

Abstract
Herein, a hierarchically porous Zr-MOF-labeled electrochemical aptasensor based on the composite of PtPd@Ni-Co hollow nanoboxes (PtPd@Ni-Co HNBs) and poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride)-functionalized graphene (PDDA-Gr) was developed for ultrasensitive detection of chloramphenicol (CAP). PtPd@Ni-Co HNBs have excellent conductivity and provide binding sites for aptamers; the functionalized PDDA-Gr improves its dispersibility and conductivity as a substrate material, which can be successfully used to increase the electrode surface area and support more PtPd@Ni-CoHNBs. Besides, hierarchically porous Zr-MOFs (HP-UiO-66) were utilized as signal probes and showed a stronger load capacity for signal molecules than conventional UiO-66. In the presence of CAP, two ingeniously designed Exo III-assisted cyclic amplification strategies further improved the sensitivity of the aptasensor: CAP causes cycle I to release a large amount of trigger DNA (Tr DNA), and then, Tr DNA initiated cycle II, which causes the exposed capture DNA to further bind the signal probes. With these advantages, the constructed aptasensors performed with satisfactory sensitivity in a wide linear range (10 fM-10 nM) and a detection limit of 0.985 fM. Several signal amplification strategies adopted in this study have effectively improved the performance of the sensor, providing a new avenue for the development of ultrasensitive sensors in the food analysis field.

Abstract
The self-healing mechanism and bioelectrochemical interface properties of supramolecular gels have been rarely explored. In this context, we propose a constitutive "fibril-reorganization" model to reveal the self-healing mechanism of a series of core-shell structured guanosine-borate (GB) hydrogels and emphasize that interfibrillar interactions at the supramolecular polymer scale (G-quadruplex nanowires) drive the self-healing process of GB hydrogels. Structure-electrochemical sensing performance studies reveal that GB hydrogel nanofibers with relatively strong biomolecular affinity such as -SH modified GB hydrogel (GB-SH) show a high sensitivity of response and low limit of detection for tumour marker alpha-fetoprotein sensing (AFP; 0.076 pg mL-1). Guanosine/ferroceneboronic acid (GB-Fc) hydrogel nanofibers with superior conductivity and redox activity display the widest linear detection range for AFP (0.0005-100 ng mL-1). Structure-property correlations of GB hydrogels provide useful insight for the future design of advanced self-healing materials and electrochemical biosensors.

Abstract
The practical application of lithium-ion batteries suffers from low energy density and the struggle to satisfy the ever-growing requirements of the energy-storage Internet. Therefore, developing next-generation electrode materials with high energy density is of the utmost significance. There are high expectations with respect to the development of lattice oxygen redox (LOR)-a promising strategy for developing cathode materials as it renders nearly a doubling of the specific capacity. However, challenges have been put forward toward the deep-seated origins of the LOR reaction and if its whole potential could be effectively realized in practical application. In the following Review, the intrinsic science that induces the LOR activity and crystal structure evolution are extensively discussed. Moreover, a variety of characterization techniques for investigating these behaviors are presented. Furthermore, we have highlighted the practical restrictions and outlined the probable approaches of Li-based layered oxide cathodes for improving such materials to meet the practical applications.

Abstract
In this paper, an intensive and glow-type chemiluminescence (CL) hydrogel was prepared by simultaneous incorporation of chemiluminescence reagent (luminol) and catalytic cofactor (hemin) into the scaffold of guanosine-derived hydrogel. The self-assembled hydrogel consisted of K+ stabilized hemin/G-quartet structures, showing significant enzyme-like activity to H2O2-mediated oxidation of luminol. After adding H2O2 into the hydrogel, blue light visible to naked eyes would come into being and last for over 8 h. The lasting-time CL emission of hydrogel was achieved due to a mechanism of slow-diffusion-controlled heterogeneous catalysis. Moreover, this self-assembled hydrogel performed a good response to H2O2 and the CL emission images could be recorded by smartphone. The hydrogel could remain excellent lifetime stability for months and the stable, enhanced and glow-type CL emission could improve the reliability and precision of CL detection, which has a promising application in cold light source and H2O2 detection of real biological samples.

Abstract
The strategy of "template sacrifice method" was proposed to synthesize well-defined NiSb/CoSb nanoparticles embedded in carbon nanosphere (Ni-Co-Sb/C, ~560 nm) by calcination treatment of the Ni-Co-MOF (metal-organic framework) precursor. Due to the structural controllability of MOF precursor and Ni/Co bimetallic synergy, the fabricated Ni-Co-Sb/C demonstrates a high surface area (88 m2 g-1) and superior ion conductivity, thus an excellent electrochemical performance as has been achieved as lithium ion battery (LIB) anode. A reversible discharge specific capacity as high as 495.1 mAh g-1 has been stably delivered after 1000 cycles at a high current density of 1.0 A g-1. In addition, the charge transfer impedance of Ni-Co-Sb/C electrode is as low as 67.6 Ω in the 30th cycle at 0.1 A g-1 and the pseudocapacitive contribution is as high as 73.8% at 0.5 mV s-1. The alloying mechanism of Ni-Co-Sb/C has been verified by in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), which enables a high lithium storage capacity. Moreover, the full-cell assembled with LiCoO2 as cathode exhibits a steady discharge specific capacity of 354.0 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 even after 100 cycles. Our work provides an effective method for the application and high-capacity Sb-based material in energy storage fields, and this material is expected as a promising candidate for a novel anode material in LIBs.

Abstract
Carbohydrate based low molecular weight gelators have been an intense subject of study over the past decade. The self-assembling systems built from natural products have high significance as biocompatible materials and renewable resources. The versatile structures available from naturally existing monosaccharides have enriched the molecular libraries that can be used for the construction of gelators. The bottom-up strategy in designing low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) for a variety of applications has been adopted by many researchers. Rational design, along with some serendipitous discoveries, has resulted in multiple classes of molecular gelators. This review covers the literature from 2017-2020 on monosaccharide based gelators, including common hexoses, pentoses, along with some disaccharides and their derivatives. The structure-based design and structure to gelation property relationships are reviewed first, followed by stimuli-responsive gelators. The last section focuses on the applications of the sugar based gelators, including their utilization in environmental remediation, ion sensing, catalysis, drug delivery and 3D-printing. We will also review the available LMWGs and their structure correlations to the desired properties for different applications. This review aims at elucidating the design principles and structural features that are pertinent to various applications and hope to provide certain guidelines for researchers that are working at the interface of chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science.

Abstract
Panax notoginseng (PN) has become the most widely used dietary supplement and herbal in Asian countries. The effect of micronization on PN is not entirely clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of particle size of Panax notoginseng powder (PNP) and the potential to improve the bioavailability. The results showed that particle size reduction significantly changed the Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) in vitro dissolution and in vivo pharmacokinetics. The size of the Panax notoginseng powder (PNP) ranges from 60 to 214 μm. The surface morphology and thermal properties of PNP were extensively characterized, and these changes in physicochemical properties of PNP provide a better understanding of the in vitro and in vivo release behaviors of PNS. The in vitro studies demonstrated that the dissolution of PNS and particle size were nonlinear (dose- and size-dependent). The pharmacokinetics parameters of PNP in rats were determined by UHPLC-MS/MS. Powder 4 (90.38 ± 8.28 μm) showed significantly higher AUC0-T values in plasma (P < 0.05). In addition, we also investigated the influence of the hydrothermal treatment of PNP. The results showed that the PNS in vitro release and in vivo bioavailability of PNP pretreatment at 40°C were the highest. This suggests that PNP with a particle size of around 90 μm and heat pretreatment at 40°C would be beneficial. These results provided an experimental basis, and it was beneficial to choose an appropriate particle size and hydrothermal temperature when PNP was used in clinical treatment.

Abstract
Herein, we have reported a dynamic boronic ester mediated guanosine (G) based G-quadruplex hydrogel as an ideal template for in situ and 'green chemical' approach for the synthesis and stabilization of Pt NPs. 11 B NMR and FT-IR spectra reveal the formation of dynamic boronate ester bonds. The TEM images of the G-quadruplex hydrogel reveal entangled three-dimensional (3D) crosslink nanofibrillar networks with average diameter of 20 nm. Similarly, AFM images of the hydrogel show dense nanofibrillar assembly with an average height of 6 nm. The in situ generated Pt NPs have been characterized using TEM and XPS techniques. The average size of the nanofiber supported Pt NPs is 1.5 nm. The Pt NPs embedded G-quadruplex hydrogel shows better mechanical stiffness than the native hydrogel as the storage modulus (G') increases to 2250 Pa from 317.08 Pa after the in situ generation of Pt NPs. Furthermore, G-quadruplex hydrogel supported Pt NPs have been used as a catalytic system for hydrogenation reaction of different aromatic nitro compounds in aqueous medium. The use of G-quadruplex molecular system as a template for the synthesis and stabilization of metal NPs would be an interesting area of research.

Abstract
Improved outcomes for many types of cancer achieved during recent years is due, among other factors, to the earlier detection of tumours and the greater availability of screening tests. With this, non-invasive, fast and accurate diagnostic devices for cancer diagnosis strongly improve the quality of healthcare by delivering screening results in the most cost-effective and safe way. Biosensors for cancer diagnostics exploiting aptamers offer several important advantages over traditional antibodies-based assays, such as the in-vitro aptamer production, their inexpensive and easy chemical synthesis and modification, and excellent thermal stability. On the other hand, electrochemical biosensing approaches allow sensitive, accurate and inexpensive way of sensing, due to the rapid detection with lower costs, smaller equipment size and lower power requirements. This review presents an up-to-date assessment of the recent design strategies and analytical performance of the electrochemical aptamer-based biosensors for cancer diagnosis and their future perspectives in cancer diagnostics.

Abstract
A "signal off" aptasensor has been developed to detect deoxynivalenol (DON). DON aptamers (Apt) were used as biological recognition elements, nickel ferrite nanotubes (NiFe2O4 NTs) are used as the base material to increase the surface area of the electrode, and the Au@Pt NRs were used as carriers for loading signal labels thionine (Thi) and complementary strand (cDNA). In the presence of DON it will be specifically captured by Apt, then the competition mechanism was triggered; the signal molecules fall off from the electrode surface, which then causes the electrode signal to decrease. NiFe2O4 NTs and Au@Pt NRs were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron micrograph (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The designed sensor provides a concentration range of 1 × 10-8 to 5 × 10-4 mg mL-1 and limit of detection of 3.02 × 10-9 mg mL-1. Determination of DON in corn meal samples was investigated and the recovery was 98.4 to 103.5%. The proposed aptasensor displayed good sensitivity, high specificity, and acceptable reproducibility. Graphical abstract Based on NiFe2O4 NTs as substrate material and Au@Pt NRs as signal label prepared DON aptasensor for the determination of DON.

Abstract
Two effective and one-step-synthesized organogelators based on d-gluconic acetal derivatives have been developed to show phase-selective gelation behaviours towards aromatic solvents from their biphasic mixtures with water. The dominant factors that drive gelation have been studied using FT-IR and temperature-dependent 1H NMR spectroscopy. Particularly, gelator GAA-2 in powder form could selectively congeal toluene, benzene and o-xylene at room temperature under mild stirring. Additionally, GAA-2 could gelate the aromatic solvents within 10 min and the recovery rate of the aromatic solvents could reach about 82% under a certain condition. The benefits of wide source availability, being easy to synthesize, and recyclable performance of the gelator make GAA-2 ideal for real-world remediation of aromatic solvents. Two effective and one-step-synthesized organogelators based on d-gluconic acetal derivatives have been developed to show phase-selective gelation behaviours towards aromatic solvents from their biphasic mixtures with water.![]()

Abstract
Capturing uranium (U(VI)) ions from wastewater and seawater is highly attractive for the environment and clean energy with the increasing deficiency of land sources. Howbeit, the massive volume of water and the ultralow concentration of U(VI) pose a substantial challenge to the industrial application. Accordingly, we have synthesized a novel organic-inorganic hybrid adsorbent through in-situ growing MOF particles on electrospun polyacrylonitrile fibers (PAN) followed by modifing with amidoxime groups to form amidoximed PAN/ZIF-67 (AOPAN/ZIF) hybrid fibers. In such fibers, the N atoms from imidazole and amidoxime can improve the adsorption performance synergistically in a wide pH range, which is favorable for capturing U(VI) under nuclear wastewater and seawater. As a result, the AOPAN/ZIF fibers exhibit high adsorption amount of 498.4 mg g-1 in U(VI) contaminated aqueous solution at pH 4. Furthermore, the adsorption amount of U(VI) reached 2.03 mg g-1 in natural seawater after 36 d, which implies that the AOPAN/ZIF fibers may promote the development of U(VI) recovery.

Abstract
Guanosine-based supramolecular hydrogels are particularly of interest for biomaterial and biomedical purposes, as they are generally biocompatible and stimuli-responsive. We found a strong and long-life transparent hydrogel made by mixing guanosine (G) with 1 equiv. of 2-formylbenzeneboronic acid (2FPB) and KOH. Alkali cations can assist the stacking of individual G-quartet to give extended nanowires, but only K+ ion induces the formation of a stable and self-supporting network hydrogel for a couple of months. Data from variable temperature NMR indicated that guanosine 2-formylbenzeneborate ester and G are the key components of the self-assembly. Further, G-2FPB-K+ hydrogel solution can induce berberine (BBR) fluorescence, showing high selectivity to K+ ion and anti-ion interference capability. A good linear relationship between fluorescent intensity and K+ concentration allowed us to directly detect K+ levels in human blood serum. A new self-assembling system prepared from guanosine and 2-formylbenzeneboronic acid showed a high selectivity to potassium ions and has a fluorescent enhancement effect on berberine, which can be used for serum potassium detection.![]()

Abstract
Antimony-based materials with high theoretical capacity are known as promising anodes for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). However, they still face challenges from the large ionic radius of the K ion, which has sluggish kinetics. Much effort is needed to exploit high-performance electrode materials to satisfy the reversible capacity of PIBs. In this paper, nano Sb confined in N-doped carbon fibers (Sb@CN nanofibers) were successfully prepared through an electrospinning method, which was designed to improve potassium storage performances. Sb@CN nanofibers benefit from the fact that the synergy between the porous nanofiber frame structure and the uniformly distributed Sb nano-components in the carbon matrix can effectively accelerate the ion migration rate and reduce the mechanical stress caused by K+ insertion/extraction, Sb@CN nanofiber electrodes thus exhibited excellent potassium storage performance, especially long cycle stability, as expected. When utilized as a PIB anode, they delivered high reversible capacity of 360.2 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 50 mA g-1, and a particularly stable capacity of 212.7 mAh g-1 was also obtained after 1000 cycles even at 5000 mA g-1. Given such outstanding electrochemical performances, this work is expected to provide insight into the development and exploration of advanced alloy-type electrodes for PIBs.

Abstract
The lack of methods to modulate intrinsic textures of carbon cathode has seriously hindered the revelation of in-depth relationship between inherent natures and capacitive behaviors, limiting the advancement of lithium ion capacitors (LICs). Here, an orientated-designed pore size distribution (range from 0.5 to 200 nm) and graphitization engineering strategy of carbon materials through regulating molar ratios of Zn/Co ions has been proposed, which provides an effective platform to deeply evaluate the capacitive behaviors of carbon cathode. Significantly, after the systematical analysis cooperating with experimental result and density functional theory calculation, it is uncovered that the size of solvated PF6- ion is about 1.5 nm. Moreover, the capacitive behaviors of carbon cathode could be enhanced attributed to the controlled pore size of 1.5-3 nm. Triggered with synergistic effect of graphitization and appropriate pore size distribution, optimized carbon cathode (Zn90Co10-APC) displays excellent capacitive performances with a reversible specific capacity of ~ 50 mAh g-1 at a current density of 5 A g-1. Furthermore, the assembly pre-lithiated graphite (PLG)//Zn90Co10-APC LIC could deliver a large energy density of 108 Wh kg-1 and a high power density of 150,000 W kg-1 as well as excellent long-term ability with 10,000 cycles. This elaborate work might shed light on the intensive understanding of the improved capacitive behavior in LiPF6 electrolyte and provide a feasible principle for elaborate fabrication of carbon cathodes for LIC systems.

Abstract
G-quadruplex, assembled from a square array of guanine (G) molecules, is an important structure with crucial biological roles in vivo but also a versatile template for ordered functional materials. Although the understanding of G-quadruplex structures is the focus of numerous studies, little is known regarding the control of G-quartet stacking modes and the spontaneous orientation of G-quadruplex fibrils. Here, the effects of different metal ions and their concentrations on stacking modes of G-quartets are elucidated. Monovalent cations (typically K+) facilitate the formation of G-quadruplex hydrogels with both heteropolar and homopolar stacking modes, showing weak mechanical strength. In contrast, divalent metal ions (Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+) at given concentrations can control G-quartet stacking modes and increase the mechanical rigidity of the resulting hydrogels through ionic bridge effects between divalent ions and borate. We show that for Ca2+ and Ba2+ at suitable concentrations, the assembly of G-quadruplexes results in the establishment of a mesoscopic chirality of the fibrils with a regular left-handed twist. Finally, we report the discovery of nematic tactoids self-assembled from G-quadruplex fibrils characterized by homeotropic fibril alignment with respect to the interface. We use the Frank-Oseen elastic energy and the Rapini-Papoular anisotropic surface energy to rationalize two different configurations of the tactoids. These results deepen our understanding of G-quadruplex structures and G-quadruplex fibrils, paving the way for their use in self-assembly and biomaterials.

Abstract
Injectable, self-healable, and biocompatible dynamic hydrogels prepared from the molecular self-assembly and reversible covalent bond formation of low-molecular-weight hydrogelators are increasing in the field of drug delivery. Herein, we report the formation of G-quadruplex hydrogels via the multicomponent self-assembly and reversible bond formation between guanosine (G) and 1-naphthaleneboronic acid in the presence of the monovalent cation K+. The cation-templated stacking interaction of G4 quartets and the formation of dynamic cyclic boronate esters are responsible for the construction of dynamic G-quadruplex assembly. The in situ-synthesized dynamic cyclic boronate esters are well characterized by 11B nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy methods. The formation and morphology of the G-quadruplex hydrogel are well supported by several spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The injectability and self-healing ability of the G-quadruplex hydrogel are also investigated. The in vivo cytotoxicity of the G-quadruplex hydrogel is extensively evaluated over different cell lines (HeLa, MCF-7, and HEK293) to observe the biostability and broad-spectrum biocompatibility of the hydrogel. Further, this injectable, biocompatible G-quadruplex hydrogel has been used for encapsulation and sustained release of two important vitamins (B2 and B12) over 40 h at physiological pH (7.46) and temperature (37 °C) without the influence of any external stimuli.

Abstract
Lithium ion capacitors (LICs) are regarded as one of the most promising energy storage devices since they can bridge the gap between lithium ion batteries and supercapacitors. However, the mismatches in specific capacity, high-rate behavior, and cycling stability between the two electrodes are the most critical issues that need to be addressed, severely limiting the large energy density and long cycling life of LICs while delivering high-power density output. Herein, quinone and ester-type oxygen-modified carbon has been successfully obtained by chemical activation with alkali, which is beneficial to the absorption of PF6- together with lithium ions, which would largely improve the electrode kinetics. In particular, the cathode capacity is considerably enhanced with the increase in the amount of oxygen functional groups. Moreover, for the full carbon LIC device, an energy density of 144 W h kg-1 is exhibited at the power density of 200 W kg-1. Surprisingly, even after 10 000 cycles at 20 000 W kg-1, a capacity retention of 70.8% is successfully achieved. These remarkable results could be ascribed to the enhancement of cathode capacity and the acceleration of anode kinetics. Furthermore, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations prove that the oxygen functional groups can deliver enhanced electrochemical activity for lithium storage through surface-induced redox reactions. This elaborate study may open an avenue for resolving the issues with the electrode materials of LICs and deepen the understanding on the surface engineering strategies for incorporating oxygen-functional groups.

Abstract
Tuning hierarchical pore structure of carbon materials is an effective way to achieve high energy density under high power density of carbon-based supercapacitors. However, at present, most of methods for regulating pores of carbon materials are too complicated to be achieved. In this work, a durian shell derived porous carbon (DSPC) with abundant porous is prepared through chemical activation as a defect strategy. Hierarchical porous structure can largely enhance the transfer rate of electron/ion. Furthermore, DSPC with multiple porous structure exhibits excellent properties when utilized as electrode materials for electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs), delivering a specific capacitance of 321 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 in aqueous electrolyte. Remarkably, a high energy density of 27.7 Wh kg-1 is obtained at 675 W kg-1 in an organic two-electrode device. And large capacity can be remained even at high charge/discharge rate. Significantly, hierarchical porous structure allows efficient ion diffusion and charge transfer, resulting in a prominent cycling stability. This work is looking forward to providing a promising strategy to prepare hierarchical porous carbon-based materials for supercapacitors with ultrafast electron/ion transport.
