    Two-dimensional (2D) materials offer a versatile platform for catalyst-based applications. Decorating with single atoms and nanocluster engineering to increase the active sites can enhance the catalytic performance while minimizing the noble metal usage. Herein, we unveil the mechanism for an enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) when a gold nanocluster anchored on MoS<inf>2</inf>nanosheets (MoS<inf>2</inf>/Au) is employed as an efficient electrocatalyst. By precisely tuning Au loading via electrodeposition (2–100 cycles), MoS<inf>2</inf>/Au-50 provides outstanding HER, exhibiting an ultralow overpotential of −184 mV (vs RHE) at 10 mA cm<sup>–2</sup>with a low Tafel slope of ∼89 mV/dec and minimal charge transfer resistance, outperforming previously reported MoS<inf>2</inf>/Au catalysts. The enhancement is driven by electron transfer at the Au–MoS<inf>2</inf>interface, which tailors the electronic structure toward more n-type conductivity, facilitating efficient HER kinetics. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals progressive shifts in the binding energies with an increase in gold deposition, as confirmed by density functional theory calculations, providing optimized bond energies. Moreover, MoS<inf>2</inf>/Au-50 also demonstrates remarkable catalytic stability at ultrahigh current density (>100 mA cm<sup>–2</sup>) for over 24 h, underscoring the potential of precision-engineered noble metal nanoclusters on 2D materials as scalable electrocatalysts for sustainable green hydrogen production.

    Dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) is an important enzyme in all living cells, which is found to be abnormally expressed in cancer cells. Since it is redox-active, an electrochemical detection method would be suitable for monitoring its concentration in biological fluids. Here we present a strategy for specific determination of NADH in real human serum by using RhIr@MoS<inf>2</inf> nanohybrids based microsensor. To implement the protocol, RhIr nanocrysrals are in-situ grown onto MoS<inf>2</inf> interlayers forming a nanohybrid structure (RhIr@MoS<inf>2</inf>). After being locally deposited on an electrochemical microsensor, it could be used for the analysis of NADH. The developed RhIr@MoS<inf>2</inf> nanohybrids based microsensor possesses the ability for analyzing NADH at the applied potential of 0.07 V (much lower than most reported values). The detection limit is evaluated as low as 1 nmol/L even in bovine serum albumin (BSA) media. In addition, the sampling analysis of human serum from cancer patients and health controls shows that the microsensor displays good diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, illustrating that this developed detection technique is a relatively accurate method for measuring NADH in biological fluids. The proposed electrochemical microsensor assay also owns the benefits of convenience, disposable and easy processing, which make it a great possibility for future point-of-care cancer diagnosis.

    Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) has been proven to be consistently overexpressed in prostate cancer epitheliums, and is expected to act as a positive biomarker for the diagnosis of prostate carcinoma in clinical practice. Here, a strategy for specific determination of AMACR in real human serum by using an electrochemical microsensor system is presented. In order to implement the protocol, a self-organized nanohybrid consisting of metal nanopillars in a 2D MoS<inf>2</inf> matrix is developed as material for the sensing interface. The testing signal outputs are strongly enhanced with the presence of the nanohybrids owing to that the metal pillars provide an efficient mass difussion and electron transfer path to the MoS<inf>2</inf> film surface. Furthermore, the phase-regulated sensing mechanism over MoS<inf>2</inf> is noticed and demonstrated by density functional theory calculation and experiments. The explored MoS<inf>2</inf> based nanohybrids are employed for the fabrication of an electrochemical microsensor, presenting good linear relationship in both ng µL<sup>−1</sup> and pg µL<sup>−1</sup> ranges for AMACR quantification. The sampling analysis of human serum indicates that this microsensor has good diagnostic specificity and sensitivity toward AMACR. The proposed electrochemical microsensor system also demonstrates the advantages of convenience, cost-effectiveness, and disposability, resulting in a potential integrated microsystem for point-of-care prostate cancer diagnosis.

    Bio-oil or pyrolysis oil can be obtained from fast pyrolysis biomass has several unusual characteristic such as high acid and high oxygen content which cause bio oil not proper to use as a fuel. In this research MoS<inf>2</inf> support on carbon material was prepared for the upgrading bio oil via impregnation method on carbon support from biomass. Hydrothermal process which aims to convert biomass into value products. This process usually performed in water and produces the product, namely hydrochar. In this research, bagasse were executed by hydrothermal at 160 °C, 180 °C and 200 °C for 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours each to enhance the porosity of their products. High porosity is well-known desirably for enhancing efficiency of supporting agents since it can load more catalyst quantity. After finishing hydrothermal process, the reactor which carried bagasse was quenching in order to inhibit the reaction inside. Then, the hydrochar was impregnated by MoS<inf>2</inf> precursor and carbonized at 450 °C for 2 hours under nitrogen atmosphere to stabilize the metal phase and turned hydrochar into carbon support. MoS<inf>2</inf>/carbon was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, EDX, FTIR and pyrolyzer gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy.
