The versatility of this system is validated using penicillin G acylase （PGA） and catalase （CAT） as model enzymes. The microporous ZIF-8 layer can be controlled by varying the number of ZIF-8 coating cycles, which produces PGA@SNF@ZIF-8 nanobiocatalysts with different ZIF-8 layer thicknesses. After the second ZIF-8 coating cycle, a PGA@SNF@ZIF-8（2） structure with a homogeneous and well-intergrown ZIF-8 layer is formed, which possesses excellent mechanical and chemical stability. Moreover, PGA@SNF@ZIF-8（2） shows improved thermal/storage stability and reusability compared with free PGA and PGA immobilized on silica nanoflowers （PGA@SNF）. The obtained CAT-based nanobiocatalysts （CAT@SNF@ZIF-8（2）） also show excellent catalytic performance.展开更多

Here, we report the fabrication of three-dimensional （3D） porous nickel nanoflower （3D-PNNF） electrodes via an in situ reduction method. The 3D-PNNF electrodes have a high surface area, show tight binding to the electroconductive substrate, and most importantly, have superaerophobic （bubble repellent） surfaces. Therefore, the electrocatalytic hydrazine oxidation performance of the 3D-PNNF electrodes was much higher than that of commercial Pt/C catalysts because of its ultra-weak gas-bubble adhesion and ultra-fast gas-bubble release. Furthermore, the 3D-PNNF electrodes showed ultra-high stability even under a high current density （260 mA/cm^2）, which makes it promising for practical applications. In addition, the construction of superaerophobic nanostructures could also be beneficial for other gas evolution processes （e.g., hydrogen evolution reaction）.展开更多
