	3D Porous carbon-based materials are well known for their excellent mechanical and electrochemical properties for various energy storage applications including Li-ion Battery (LIB) anodes. However, their commercial application is limited due to their low theoretical specific capacity. Heteroatom doping in carbonaceous networks proved an efficient way to modify the surface properties, which considerably improves the Li intake capacity and Li diffusion in porous carbon materials. In this work, we have synthesized 3D honeycomb boron carbon nitride (HBCN) from boric acid, glucose, and cyanamide. Silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) are used as structure-directing agents to replicate well-organized honeycomb structures. HBCN possesses a high specific surface area (SSA) of similar to 597 m(2) g(-1), with a uniform porosity distribution, low charge transfer resistance, and steady Li flux. When analyzed as an anode material for LIB, HBCN demonstrated an excellent specific capacity of similar to 652 mAhg(-1) and 408 mAhg(-1) at an input current density of 100 mAg(-1) and 1 Ag-1 respectively and an energy density of 227 Wh kg(-1) at 1 C rate in a full cell LIB. These results indicate that the doping of B and N hetero atoms is significantly advantageous for LIBs application.</p>

	Pathogen detection has become a major research area all over the world for water quality surveillance and microbial risk assessment. Therefore, designing simple and sensitive detection kits plays a key role in envisaging and evaluating the risk of disease outbreaks and providing quality healthcare settings. Herein, we have designed a facile and low-cost colorimetric sensing strategy for the selective and sensitive determination of beta-galactosidase producing pathogens. The hexagonal boron nitride quantum dots (h-BN QDs) were established as a nanozyme that showed prominent peroxidase-like activity, which catalyzes 3,3 `,5,5 `-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation by H2O2. The h-BN QDs were embedded on a layer-by-layer assembled agarose biopolymer. The beta-galactosidase enzyme partially degrades beta-1,4 glycosidic bonds of agarose polymer, resulting in accessibility of h-BN QDs on the solid surface. This assay can be conveniently conducted and analyzed by monitoring the blue color formation due to TMB oxidation within 30 min. The nanocomposite was stable for more than 90 days and was showing TMB oxidation after incubating it with Escherichia coli (E. coli). The limit of detection was calculated to be 1.8 x 10(6) and 1.5 x 10(6) CFU/mL for E. coli and Klebsiella pneumonia (K. pneumonia), respectively. Furthermore, this novel sensing approach is an attractive platform that was successfully applied to detect E. coli in spiked water samples and other food products with good accuracy, indicating its practical applicability for the detection of pathogens in real samples.</p>
