The matrix effect on the oxidative-dissolution of nanoparticle-imprinted polymers Hila Sagi-Cohen, Iska Cohen, Daniel Mandler Electrochimica Acta, 2026 Nanoparticle-imprinted matrices (NAIM) have emerged as a promising approach for the selective detection of nanoparticles (NPs) based on their size, shape, and surface chemistry. However, during the electrografting of aryldiazonium salts to form the organic matrix, conductive NPs can participate in the electrochemical reduction, thereby depositing the organic film on their surfaces. This coverage hinders the complete oxidative removal of the NPs and limits the efficiency of the imprinting process. In this work, we investigate the matrix effect on the oxidative dissolution of gold NPs (AuNPs) adsorbed on polyethylenimine (PEI)-modified indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. Linear sweep voltammetry and electron microscopy reveal that the electrografted matrix significantly suppresses oxidation of AuNPs, indicating partial coverage of the NPs by the organic film. To prevent matrix formation on the NPs, two protective strategies were examined: esterification of 3-mercaptopropionic acid-capped AuNPs and electrostatic adsorption of alkylamines. While esterification partially protected the NPs, strong adsorption of alcohol on the positively charged ITO surface led to severe electron-transfer blocking. In contrast, the electrostatic attachment of alkylamines effectively inhibited aryldiazonium reduction on the NPs while allowing the protective layer to be removed under mild alkaline conditions, thereby increasing AuNP oxidation efficiency by 58%. Following matrix formation and NP removal, the resulting nanocavities remained active (62% reuptake) and capable of NP reuptake, with the highest reuptake efficiency observed for butylamine-modified systems. These results provide insight into the role of the organic matrix during NP imprinting and demonstrate practical strategies to control matrix deposition on conductive NPs, thereby improving the efficiency of nanoparticle-imprinted sensing platforms.
Solvation-Heterostructure Synergy Enables Reversible Four-Electron Conversion in High-Capacity Na-Ion Electrodes Cai Liu, Peng Zhao, Boyuan Liu, Keren Lu, Haiyan Jing, Lizhang Yang, Jiayi Tang, Zihao Huang, Anxing Zhou, Shuwei Li, Xifeng Xia, Daniel Mandler, Wu Lei, Qiubo Guo, Qingli Hao Small, 2026 The practical deployment of high‐capacity conversion‐type electrode materials in Na‐ion storage remains constrained by insufficient reaction kinetics and irreversible phase transitions. While extensive efforts have focused on optimizing the intrinsic structural stability and redox activity of electrode materials, the critical role of electrolyte solvation chemistry in mediating phase evolution dynamics has been underexplored. Herein, we propose a solvation engineering strategy utilizing dimethoxyethane (DME)‐based electrolytes to enable kinetically favorable and fully reversible phase transitions in conversion‐type MoSe 2 . We systematically reveal that the tailored Na + ‐2DME solvation structure eliminates energy‐intensive desolvation barriers, facilitating direct co‐intercalation of solvated Na + species into the MoSe 2 lattice. This mechanism not only accelerates interfacial charge transfer but also mitigates parasitic electrolyte decomposition. Moreover, the solvation‐induced lattice expansion of MoSe 2 alleviates mechanical strain during repeated cycling, ensuring structural integrity and maintaining rapid ion diffusion pathways. Crucially, the solvation‐assisted reaction pathway unlocks a four‐electron transfer process of the double‐heterostructures MoSe 2 ‐TiO 2 ‐MXene (MTM) anode, achieving complete conversion to Na 2 Se and Mo during sodiation, followed by near‐theoretical regeneration of MoSe 2 upon desodiation. This study establishes a mechanistic framework for leveraging solvent‐specific solvation effects to regulate phase transition thermodynamics and kinetics in conversion‐type electrodes, offering universal design principles for high‐performance Na‐ion storage devices.
Electrochemomics Profiling Metabolic Dynamics in Biofluids Jianwu Wang, Huarong Xia, Chenyan Huang, Qianyun Deng, Ting Wang, Pingqiang Cai, Xiao Li, Xiaopei Chi, Wei Peng Goh, Yahui Liu, Chenyao Nie, Feilong Zhang, Changxian Wang, Jing Yu, Zhisheng Lv, Xiaoshi Wang, Rayner Bao Feng Ng, Jinwei Cao, Youquan Fu, Junqi Yi, Xian Jun Loh, Daniel Mandler, Bing Gu, Yan Wei, Xiaodong Chen Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2026 Conventional electrochemical sensing techniques detect predefined molecular biomarkers for disease diagnosis, while compromised by the biases in the calibration process due to the complexity and volatility of peripheral biofluids. Meanwhile, abundant electrochemical information at the electrode-biofluid interfaces remains to be discovered to gain comprehensive metabolic signatures for diagnostic applications. Here, we propose an electrochemomics (EC-omics) approach to comprehensively profile the dynamics of electrochemical properties of biomolecules in peripheral biofluids during disease onset. As a proof of concept, we customized a portable electrochemical profiling platform, where the high sensitivity and low background noise of the carbon nanotube/bacterial cellulose (CNT/BC) electrodes enabled a holistic and unbiased capturing of the electrochemical features in biofluids. We applied the EC-omics platform to profile saliva for periodontitis diagnosis. The obtained saliva EC-omics database is compatible with various intelligent algorithms, which could accurately discriminate periodontitis (93%), surpassing the untargeted nuclear magnetic resonance data (89%) and significantly outperforming the periodontitis-related molecular biomarkers (70%) and peak intensity features (57%). Additionally, our study demonstrated the feasibility of EC-omics in human urine and mouse serum analysis, suggesting its potential to expand our understanding of the complex metabolic networks of biofluids and further foster a broader range of novel diagnostic tools across various sensing paradigms for decentralized healthcare.

Dynamic Protonation on an Amino-Containing Quinone-Covalent Organic Framework Enables Efficient Neutral Electrosynthesis of H2O2 Xiaohang Yang, Yifan Wang, Guangming Zhan, Yannan Liu, Baoxue Zhou, Daniel Mandler, Mingce Long Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2026 The electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in neutral media is highly desirable for sustainable applications but is fundamentally limited by insufficient proton supply. Herein, we report a quinone‐based covalent organic framework (Q‐COFs) engineered with aromatic amino groups (TfpBQ) enables efficient neutral electrosynthesis of H 2 O 2 , achieved by the synergism between Q and amino groups. The amino groups serve as dynamic proton relays, boosting the interfacial proton‐coupled electron transfer (I‐PCET) kinetics of the Q redox couples, as evidenced by a high apparent rate constant ( k app ) of 1.97×10 4 s −1 , which is 43% and 92% higher than that of the imine‐ and amide‐containing Q‐COFs, respectively. Consequently, TfpBQ achieves a remarkable H 2 O 2 yield of 19.3 mol g −1 h −1 with a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 95.6% at 120 mA cm −2 in a neutral electrolyte, while demonstrating exceptional stability during 60‐h of continuous operation. Combined experimental and theoretical analyses demonstrate that the dynamic protonation of aromatic amino groups reconstructs the interfacial hydrogen‐bond network, enabling a sustained proton supply to the adjacent Q/H 2 Q redox cycle, which in turn optimizes the overall 2e – ORR pathway. This work underscores the importance of managing dynamic protonation in electrocatalysts design for reactions occurring in proton‐deficient microenvironment.

Confined electrochemistry in nanocavities: Perspective and techniques Din Zelikovich, Pavel Savchenko, Daniel Mandler Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, 2025 The understanding that chemical reactions carried out under nanoconfinement behave significantly differently than in the bulk has motivated electrochemists to study electrochemical processes in nanometer-sized volumes. Significant work has been performed in nanopores where the reactants and products enter and leave at different places. This has been primarily applied to protein and DNA sequencing. Yet, fewer studies have been devoted to studying electrochemical reactions in nanocavities where there is only a single opening. This review summarizes the growing activity in this relatively new area, which includes the approaches for making nanocavities, the ways the nanocavities are analyzed, and the present and future applications. Well-defined nanocavities enable studying a variety of charge transfer processes under nanoconfinement conditions.
