Self‐Sterilizing Face Mask Employing Enzymatic Power Generation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Electric face mask with flexible biofuel cell integration for on‐the‐go sterilization is developed utilizing ethanol oxidation via alcohol dehydrogenase, and oxygen reduction via bilirubin oxidase. Modified face mask exhibited bacterial death rates of 40–60% at only 20 µA of electric current, easily generated by the biofuel cell continuously over hours

A Dual‐Emissive DNA‐Templated Silver Nanocluster with Near‐Infrared I and II Emission

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 8, March 13, 2025.
This study presents a dual‐emissive DNA‐stabilized silver nanocluster with a nanosecond‐lived NIR‐I emission band and a microsecond‐lived NIR‐II emission band. Mass spectrometry establishes that the nanocluster has molecular formula (DNA)2[Ag17]11+. DNA sequence variations reveal critical nucleobases for stabilization, and modifications at the DNA 5 ...
