In this work, Au-modified F-TiO2 is developed as a simple and efficient photocatalyst for H2O2 production under ultraviolet light. The Au/F-TiO2 photocatalyst avoids the necessity of adding fluoride into the reaction medium for enhancing H2O2 synthesis, as in a pure TiO2 reaction system. The F− modification inhibits the H2O2 decomposition through the formation of the ≡Ti–F complex. Au is an active cocatalyst for photocatalytic H2O2 production. We compared the activity of TiO2 with F− modification and without F− modification in the presence of Au, and found that the H2O2 production rate over Au/F-TiO2 reaches four times that of Au/TiO2. In situ electron spin resonance studies have shown that H2O2 is produced by stepwise single-electron oxygen reduction on the Au/F-TiO2 photocatalyst.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hypochlorite (HOCl) cause a variety of cellular dysfunctions. In this study we examined the effects of these agents on the electrical potential gradient across the inner membrane of mitochondria in situ in isolated rat heart myocytes. Myocytes were prepared by collagenase digestion and incubated in the presence of H2O2 or HOCl. Transmembrane electrical gradients were measured by distribution of [3H]triphenylmethylphosphonium+, a lipophilic cation. The particulate fraction was separated from the cytosolic compartment first by permeabilization using digitonin, followed by rapid centrifugal sedimentation through a bromododecane layer. We found that the mitochondrial membrane potential (161 ± 7 mV, negative inside) was relatively well maintained under oxidant stress, i.e., the potential was decreased only at high concentrations of HOCl and H2O2 and gradually with time. The membrane potential of isolated rat heart mitochondria was affected similarly by H2O2 and HOCl in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. High concentrations of oxidants also reduced the cellular ATP level but did not significantly change the matrix volume. When the extra-mitochondrial free calcium concentration was increased in permeabilized myocytes, the transmembrane potential was decreased proportionally, and this decrease was potentiated further by H2O2. These results support the view that heart mitochondria are equipped with well-developed defense mechanisms against oxidants, but the action of H2O2 on the transmembrane electrical gradient is exacerbated by an increase in cytosolic calcium. Keywords: ATP, calcium, cardiomyocyte, cell defense, mitochondrial membrane potential, oxidant, triphenylmethylphosphonium.

AbstractFe-based single-atomic site catalysts (SASCs), with the natural metalloproteases-like active site structure, have attracted widespread attention in biocatalysis and biosensing. Precisely, controlling the isolated single-atom Fe-N-C active site structure is crucial to improve the SASCs’ performance. In this work, we use a facile ion-imprinting method (IIM) to synthesize isolated Fe-N-C single-atomic site catalysts (IIM-Fe-SASC). With this method, the ion-imprinting process can precisely control ion at the atomic level and form numerous well-defined single-atomic Fe-N-C sites. The IIM-Fe-SASC shows better peroxidase-like activities than that of non-imprinted references. Due to its excellent properties, IIM-Fe-SASC is an ideal nanoprobe used in the colorimetric biosensing of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Using IIM-Fe-SASC as the nanoprobe, in situ detection of H2O2 generated from MDA-MB-231 cells has been successfully demonstrated with satisfactory sensitivity and specificity. This work opens a novel and easy route in designing advanced SASC and provides a sensitive tool for intracellular H2O2 detection.
