Controllable doping of Fe atoms into MoS2 nanosheets towards peroxidase-like nanozyme with enhanced catalysis for colorimetric analysis of glucose

Luping Feng et al.

Summary: Fe-doped MoS2 nanosheets were synthesized via one-pot hydrothermal route, resulting in peroxidase-like nanozymes with enhanced catalytic properties. The catalysis efficiency of Fe-MoS2 can be controlled by Mo-to-Fe molar ratios, with the highest achieved at 3/1, exhibiting over threefold improvement compared to pristine MoS2. The improved catalysis performances are attributed to the synergistic effects of doped Fe atoms and Mo-S sites, facilitating electron transfer and Fenton-like reactions. Fe-MoS2 nanozyme-based colorimetric methods have demonstrated practical application potential in glucose detection in blood samples. This study provides insights into the design of enhanced catalysis nanozymes doped with heteroatoms like Fe, with promising applications in biomedical analysis, food safety, and environmental monitoring.

Highly stable Mo-doped Fe2P and Fe3P monolayers as low-onset-potential electrocatalysts for nitrogen fixation

Jie Wu et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigated nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) pathways on iron-based phosphide monolayers. Mo-doped Fe2P and Fe3P monolayers were found to efficiently promote NRR with low onset potentials, especially Mo-doped Fe3P monolayer which has the lowest onset potential to date. The doping of Mo atoms enhances the activation of dinitrogen by improving the match between transition metal d-orbitals and N-2 molecule p-orbitals.
