<blockquote> Preparation of M-N-C catalysts like LEGO® game: The efficient and low-cost platinum group metal (PGM)-free metal-nitrogen-carbon electrocatalysts (M-N-C) are potential alternatives for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in artificial energy conversion devices. However, the solid-state reactions of M/C/N-containing precursors at high temperature was rather complicated, making the engineering of carbonization processes of M-N-C catalysts challenging and less explored. Herein, we report a way to modulate the pyrolysis processes of M-N-C by pre-organization of the molecular precursors via a simple solvation, in which, the simultaneous hydrogen bonding and coordination interactions played an important roles. This work highlights the great potential of the pre-organization for the designing and selecting of precursors to engineer pyrolyzed M-N-C with higher electrocatalytic activities.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The sensitive simultaneous detection of multiple biomarkers is critical for the early diagnosis of diseases. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) offers outstanding advantages, e.g., low background, over other optical sensing techniques. However, multiplexed ECL bioassay is hindered not only by the lack of generally available ECL spectrometers but also by the limited number of biocompatible monochromatic ECL luminophores for decades. Herein, we report addressing these issues by re-examination of the recent tabletop spectrofluorometer coupled potentiostat as a high-resolution ECL spectrum acquisition system and using carbon nitrides as monochromatic luminophores. A wavelength-resolved multiplexing ECL biosensor is demonstrated to simultaneously detect CA19-9 and mesothelin, two pancreatic cancer biomarkers, at a single-electrode interface.

<blockquote>Natural selection over billions of years has developed highly effective in vivo signal transduction that is often governed by a series of competitive multiple mechanisms. Several artificial signal transduction pathways have inspired nu-merous biosensing systems, however, most of these are driven by a single mechanism. Herein, we describe a multi-ple-mechanism-driven electrochemiluminescent (ECL) bio-sensor that utilizes competitive catalytic and steric hin-drance effects by assembling hemin/G-quadruplex on the carbon nitride nanosheets. Taking detecting 8-Hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) as example, the integrated dy-namic ranges of the detectable concentration from each mechanism were achieved in a single sensor interface. Moreover, the detection sensitivity was more precisely con-trolled by the competition between the two mechanisms, and inherently boosted, compared to that of the single mechanism-driven detection. Going beyond the conven-tional single mechanism-driven biosensing, the elaborately biomimetic coupling of multiple mechanisms in a single interface may open a new approach for future multiplexed biosensing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>As an emerging nitrogen-rich 2D carbon material, graphitic carbon nitride (CN) has drawn much attention ranging from photo-/electrocatalysts to biosensors. Interfacial modification of CN is of fundamental vital, but still is in infancy and challenging due to the low reactivity of CN. Herein, we report that via a π-π stacking interaction, bulk CN could be simultaneously exfoliated into via a facile mechanically grinding. The as-obtained CN nanosheets (m-CNNS) not only retained the pristine optoelectronic properties of bulk CN but also enriched a friendly interface for further coupling biomolecules with advanced properties, overcoming the deficiencies of CN in surface science. As a proof of concept, the m-CNNS were further covalently linked to a probe DNA, and the resultant electrochemiluminescent biosensor for the target DNA exhibited much enhanced sensitivity with respect to that by direct physical absorption of probe DNA on unmodified CNNS. This noncovalent exfoliation and interfacial modification would greatly expand the scope of potential applications of CN such as biosensing, and also be applicable to other 2D materials in interface modulation.</blockquote>
