An amperometric biosensor for nitrite was prepared by immobilizing cytochrome c (Cyt c) on a gold electrode that was modified with Nafion and a Cu-Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (Cu-LDH). The Cu-LDH was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. The UV-visible spectrum suggests that Cyt c retains its native conformation in the modified film. The direct electrochemical investigation indicated that the composite film represents a good platform for the immobilization of Cyt c as well as an excellent promoter for the electron transfer between Cyt c and the gold electrode. Moreover, the biosensor showed a remarkable bioelectrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of nitrite with a linear range from 0.75 to 123 μM. The detection limit is 2 × 10 −7 M (S/ N = 3). The biosensor was successfully applied to the determination of nitrite in food samples.

The molten salt electrolytic method was introduced to prepare metallic silicon that simply utilizes SiO 2 powder as the raw material and equimolar CaCl 2 -NaCl as the electrolyte under 1.8 V current at 700°C for 5 h.
The electrochemically synthesized silicon was in the form of nanowire structures with average sizes of 90 nm in diameter and over 1 μm in length. The current efficiency and specific energy consumption of producing silicon nanowires were calculated to be 79.2% and 8.703 kWh/kg, respectively. Benefiting from the synthesized nanowire structure, the silicon anode exhibited a high initial discharge-specific capacity of 3348.1 mAh/g with an initial coulombic efficiency of 85.2%.
The present research provides a straightforward idea to show the feasibility of synthesizing silicon-based material by the molten salt electrolytic method and to introduce the application of synthesized silicon nanowires to lithium-ion battery systems.

Polyamide (PA) thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis membrane is widely used for desalination , but the selectivity-permeability trade-off and oxidation are two major restrictions on the membrane application. By modifying PA TFC membrane with potassium persulfate (K 2 S 2 O 8 ), we overcame the trade-off relation (the water flux and salt rejection increased by 43.2% and 0.2%, respectively) and improved the chlorine resistance. The modification was demonstrated to be a combination of the interfacial crosslinking between PA layer and polysulfone support with the surficial oxidation of PA layer. The dense crosslinked interface enabled the membrane with higher solute rejection, better chlorine tolerance and long-term stability. Meanwhile, the thinner PA layer contributed to the increase of membrane permeability. Furthermore, the modification method has the application potential in high-performance membrane fabrication in terms of simplicity and high efficiency.

This result in an enhanced electrocatalytic current for dopamine (DA) and a good separation of the potentials of DA, uric acid and ascorbic acid. Under selected conditions, the square wave voltammetric response of the electrode to DA is linear in the concentration range from 1.0 to 199 μM even in the presence of 0.1 mM ascorbic acid, and the detection limit is 0.3 μM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The method was applied to the determination of DA in pharmaceutical injections with satisfactory results.

Hollow microstructure always exhibits some special properties in the field of electrochemistry . Here, this study reports the rational design and preparation of TiNb 2 O 7 nanofibers with one dimensional hollow structure via co-electrospinning. The as-electrospun TiNb 2 O 7 hollow nanofibers show high intercalation potential, low charge-charge resistance and fast electrochemical kinetics . The electrochemical results exhibit that the TiNb 2 O 7 hollow nanofibers deliver a reversible capacity of 210.1 mAh g −1 after 150 cycles at a current rate of 0.4 C, and 158.4 mAh g −1 after 900 cycles even at a current rate of 10 C with an outstanding capacity retention of 80.6%. The excellent electrochemical performance of nanofibers can be related to the unique morphology of hollow structure. Furthermore, the lithium ions storage mechanism of TiNb 2 O 7 hollow nanofibers is also systematically analyzed, which is related to one two-phase coexistence and two solid-solution processes during the whole charge-discharge cycle. In addition, it is also demonstrated by in situ and ex situ observations that TiNb 2 O 7 hollow nanofibers have outstanding structural stability and electrochemical reversibility. Therefore, the TiNb 2 O 7 hollow nanofibers can be applied as an alternative promising electrode material for the next rechargeable lithium ions batteries .

To address the large structural and volume changes of commercial WO 3 during charge/discharge, which make this material unsuitable for use in Li-ion batteries (LIBs), we herein prepared oxygen deficient WO 3- x nanosheets on a large scale by thermal treatment of ammonium paratungstate in a reducing atmosphere followed by sonication and freeze-drying. The above nanosheets were employed as LIB anode materials and exhibited a specific capacity and cycling stability significantly exceeding those of oxygen-deficient WO 3- x nanoparticles and commercial WO 3 . In addition, we investigated the effect of nanosheet loading on electrode performance, demonstrating that the best results (Li storage capacity of ∼628 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g −1 ) were obtained at a nanosheet content of 20 wt%. This excellent performance was ascribe to the good exposure of defects caused by the comparatively small size of WO 3- x nanosheets , which resulted in an increased number of sites and diffusion paths available for Li-ion storage and transfer. The novel electrode-optimized strategy may be extended to the fabrication of other electrodes that use nanomaterials as active substances due to its superior comprehensive performance and low cost.

The electrochemical performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is highly reliant upon the properties of cathodes, including crystal structure, electrical conductivity, electrode thickness, and so on. Here, Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 Co 0.8 Fe 0.2 O 3-δ (BSCF) is synthesized and served as the electrode for enabling high-performance SOFCs. The effect of electrode thickness on the electrocatalytic activity is systematically investigated. The electrode thickness is adjusted in two ways. One is spray-coating and then calcining once, and the other is performing the above process twice. On the basis of symmetrical cells configuration, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of BSCF electrode with different thickness is evaluated and analyzed by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique and distribution of relaxation time (DRT). The obtained area-specific resistances (ASRs) of electrodes on the oxygen ion conducting electrolyte Sm 0.2 Ce 0.9 O 1.90 (SDC) demonstrate the thickness-dependent electrochemical activity in ORR of BSCF electrode. With an electrode thickness of 24 μm that controlled by conducting “spray-coating and calcining” twice, the BSCF electrode displays the optimal electrochemical performance with an ASR of 0.072 Ω cm 2 in ambient air at 600°C. This strategy has allowed us to produce an electrode layer with optimal thickness, paving a new path for the design of high-performance SOFCs.

Reasonable structure design and component selection are crucial to electrochemical performance of supercapacitor electrode materials. Sodium alginate (SA), with a novel structure which can immobilize multivalent metal cations, was used to coordinate with Fe3+ to fabricate a carbon and Fe3O4 composite by an easy sol–gel method. Due to the chelation effect between SA and Fe3+, the carbon composite was constructed into a two-dimensional sheet-like structure, and the Fe3O4 particles were nanosize and homogenously distributed on the surface of the carbon nanosheet. As an electrode material for supercapacitors, the composite electrode showed a high specific capacitance of 550 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 in the potential range from −1.1 to 0 V, and excellent cycling stability of 89% retention after 2000 cycles. The enhanced electrochemical performance could be attributed to the abundant exposed active sites, producing high pseudocapacitance, to the two-dimensional nanosheet structure, facilitating electrolyte transport and to the strong attachment strength, improving cycle life. This environmentally-friendly design can provide an alternative to existing methods, resulting in the development of a two-dimensional carbon/metal oxide composite for energy storage devices.

Black core-shelled anatase titania were successfully prepared using a simple one-step synthetic method by calcining colloid titania precursor in N 2 flow under atmospheric pressure. The physicochemical properties of the as-prepared samples were characterized by various techniques such as X-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microcopy, etc. The samples demonstrate a unique core-shelled structure and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra reveal the presence of high concentration of Ti 3+ and oxygen vacancies at the surface, which accounts for their black appearance. A possible mechanism for the formation of such core–shell structure is proposed based on the results (X-ray photoelectron spectra, etc) of products prepared under different ration between urea and hydrochloric acid. Ethanol absolute is found to have critical effect in preventing phase transition of titania (from anatase to rutile) upon elevated temperatures. The black appearance of the sample powder (high visible light absorption) as well as slow electron/hole recombination rate after introducing oxygen vacancies/N species signify the core-shelled anatase titania as an efficient visible light active photocatalyst.

Proton-conducting solid oxide electrolysis cells (H-SOECs) are attracting attentions of researchers due to their unique advantages. The proton-conducting material BaCe 0·7 Zr 0·1 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3-δ (BZCYYb) has both the advantages of barium ceria-based and barium zirconate-based materials. BZCYYb material usually is synthesized by solid-state reaction (SSR) method, hence the densification of this electrolyte material is the key to restrict the application of H-SOECs. In this paper, effects of adding 1 wt% of different sintering aids (NiO, CuO, ZnO) to BZCYYb on the grain size and the conductivity are investigated. After adding 1 wt% of NiO and CuO sintering aids, BZCYYb electrolyte achieves ideal density. The electrical conductivity of four samples (BZCYYb without adding sintering aid, BZCYYb with 1 wt% NiO, CuO, ZnO, respectively) is tested under different steam concentrations of air, nitrogen, hydrogen, and nitrogen-hydrogen mixture. The conductivity increased after the sintering aid is added. With the increase of steam concentration, the conductivity decreased slightly and then increased due to electron holes under oxygen atmosphere with steam at high temperature. In other atmospheres, the conductivity increases with the steam concentration. In the atmosphere of 20 vol% H 2 O-Air and H 2 , the conductivity of the BZCYYb samples with 1 wt% CuO is about 1.087 × 10 −2 S cm −1 and 9.02 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 650 °C, and the conductivity of the BZCYYb samples with 1 wt% NiO is 1.277 × 10 −2 S cm −1 and 8.24 × 10 −3 S cm −1 , respectively. However, compared with NiO, CuO has advantages in promoting hydration reaction and proton conduction of BZCYYb electrolyte.

Oxide thermoelectric materials have a wide range of applications due to their excellent stability, low cost, and non-toxic properties. However, their low thermoelectric conversion efficiency limits their practical use. Therefore, improving the performance of oxide thermoelectric materials has become the focus of current research. Interface engineering is an important approach to enhance thermoelectric properties by optimizing electrical transport properties through multiphase composite regulation of phase interface structure. A series of Sr 0.6 La 0.4 Nb 2 O 6-δ /x wt% graphite (x = 0, 0.6, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) composite ceramics thermoelectric materials were prepared, and the mechanism for improving their thermoelectric properties was explored. Graphite serves as an electron momentum amplifier within the Sr 0.6 Ba 0.4 Nb 2 O 6-δ matrix, thereby augmenting both conductivity and power factor values significantly. Notably, the incorporation of 1.5 wt% graphite led to a remarkable enhancement in the thermoelectric power factor at 1073 K, reaching an impressive value of 254.84 μW/K 2 m - representing a notable increase of approximately 51 % compared to the unmodified sample - primarily attributed to the elevated electrical conductivity .

In this paper, graphene oxide (GO) was functionalized with a hyperbranched cyclotriphosphazene polymer, which was synthesized by the repeated reactions of hexachlorotriphosphazene with hexamethylenediamine. Subsequently, the resultant functionalized GO was incorporated into dicyclopentadiene bisphenol dicyanate ester (DCPDCE) to prepare composites. Fourier-transform infrared spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron spectroscopy were employed to examine the surface functionalization of GO. The effects of functionalized GO on the curing reactivity, mechanical, dielectric, thermal and water resistent properties of DCPDCE resin were investigated systematically. Results show that the addition of modified GO can facilitate the curing reaction of DCPDCE. Meanwhile, the appropriate content of modified GO can enhance the mechanical properties including impact and flexural strengths of DCPDCE resin. When modified GO content is 0.6 wt%, the corresponding composite exhibits slightly higher dielectric constant but lower dielectric loss than pure DCPDCE resin over the testing frequency from 10 to 60 MHz. In addition, the thermal stability and moisture resistance of modified GO/DCPDCE nanocomposties are also superior to that of pure DCPDCE resin.
