Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with high electrical conductivity are commonly accounted as the ideal additives to enhance the charge surface migration efficiency in photocatalysis . Theoretically, the MWCNTs-modified binary photocatalysts have potential for the change of nanocrystal structure. Herein, we reports an adjustable {312}/{004}facet heterojunction MWCNTs/Bi 5 O 7 I nanocomposite . Interestingly, the synergistic effect of {312}/{004}facet heterojunction and MWCNTs can effectively accelerate the spatial charge carriers transport. A novel {312}/{004}facet “S-scheme” pathway was proven to be the dominated pathway for the enhancement of spatial charge carriers. As a result, the MWCNTs-{312}/{004}Bi 5 O 7 I composites exhibited superior photocatalytic oxidation efficiency for a representative antibiotics ofloxacin photodegradation . Density functional theory (DFT) calculation and LC-MS/MS analysis confirmed that the possible dealkylation and oxidation pathways could be found in OFL degradation. This work provides novel insights for the relationship between charge carrier transport and facet structure-property.

Trace detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) in foods is essential to mitigate risks to human health. Herein, a label-free electrochemical (EC) aptasensor based on dual-signal amplification of Nafion dispersed multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Nafion-MWCNTs) and Au nanopopcorns was developed for ultrasensitive detection of OTA. Nafion solution prevented the leaching of MWCNTs, and the Nafion-MWCNTs modified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) acted as the sensing substrate which facilitated the uniform distribution of the electrodeposited Au nanopopcorns. The in-situ generated Au nanopopcorns could not only load a large amount of aptamers for specific identification of OTA, but also promote the electron transfer of the sensing platform. The incorporation of Nafion-MWCNTs and Au nanopopcorns realized dual-amplification of the aptasensor due to the enhanced conductivity and the increased electroactive surface area of the electrode. The modified electrodes were characterized through scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and EC evaluation. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was measured for the determination of OTA. The as-fabricated Au nanopopcorns/Nafion-MWCNTs impedimetric aptasensor displayed excellent sensitivity with a detection limit as low as 1 pg/mL and a wide linear range of 1 pg/mL-10 ng/mL for OTA. Practical application of the aptasensor in the spiked malt samples achieved satisfactory recoveries of 89.82–95.65 %, which was also successfully verified to detect OTA in eleven batches of actual malt samples collected from the local market. The creative aptasensor is simple, cost-effective, sensitive, and accurate, showing great promise for on-site monitoring of other trace contaminants in foods by simply replacing the aptamers.

Owing to the multi-dimensional complexity of human motions, traditional uniaxial strain sensors lack the accuracy in monitoring dynamic body motions working in different directions, thus multidirectional strain sensors with excellent electromechanical performance are urgently in need. Towards this goal, in this work, a stretchable biaxial strain sensor based on double elastic fabric (DEF) was developed by incorporating carboxylic multi-walled carbon nanotubes(c-MWCNTs) and polypyrrole (PPy) into fabric through simple, scalable soaking and adsorption-oxidizing methods. The fabricated DEF/c-MWCNTs/PPy strain sensor exhibited outstanding anisotropic strain sensing performance, including relatively high sensitivity with the maximum gauge factor (GF) of 5.2, good stretchability of over 80%, fast response time < 100 ms, favorable electromechanical stability, and durability for over 800 stretching–releasing cycles. Moreover, applications of DEF/c-MWCNTs/PPy strain sensor for wearable devices were also reported, which were used for detecting human subtle motions and dynamic large-scale motions. The unconventional applications of DEF/c-MWCNTs/PPy strain sensor were also demonstrated by monitoring complex multi-degrees-of-freedom synovial joint motions of human body, such as neck and shoulder movements, suggesting that such materials showed a great potential to be applied in wearable electronics and personal healthcare monitoring.Keywords:double elastic fabric;carbon nanotube;polypyrrole;multidirectional;strain sensor;complicated human motions detection

Three-dimensional (3D) LiFePO 4 @MWCNTs composite has been prepared using phytic acid as the phosphorus source by a simple solvothermal method combined with freeze drying under vacuum. The relationships between the phase structures, the morphologies and electrochemical performance characteristics of the as-prepared samples are studied using a series of characterization methods. It is found that the MWCNTs wrap around the LiFePO 4 particles to form a 3D network because of the reactions between the special functional groups of the phytic acid with Fe 2+ and –C O or –COOH on the surface of the functionalized MWCNTs, resulting in the improvement of conductivity and the electron and ion transport. Due to these merits of MWCNTs and phytic acid, the LiFePO 4 @MWCNTs exhibits good electrochemical performance with high initial discharge capacities of 152.7, 149.6 and 138.8 mAh g −1 at 1, 2 and 5C, respectively. Even at 10C, it still delivers a capacity of 117.5 mAh g −1 .

A novel sunflower-like nanocomposite of SrCo2S4 nanoflakes and functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) entanglement enveloped in nitrogen-reduced graphene oxide (N-RGO) is prepared by a cheap process. The unique entanglement structure of the material
exhibits higher specific surface area, better electrical conductivity and other properties. This helps to reduce the transfer resistance in the photoelectric process of the battery and improve the electrochemical activity, thus increasing the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery.
The new ternary cobalt-based sulfide material can replace platinum as the counter electrode (CE) material loaded on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). DSSCs with SrCo2S4@f-MWCNTs@N-RGO (SCS@f-M@N-R) as CE material show excellent photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE,
8.06%), even surpassing than that of Pt CE material (7.51%). The low cost, excellent electrocatalytic performance and simple preparation method of SCS@f-M@N-R nanomaterial provide feasibility for replacing platinum material as the CE material of DSSCs, which is of great significance and persuasion.

A green strategy by integrating surface-initiated metal-free photoinduced electron transfer-atom transfer radical polymerization (PET-ATRP) with mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) chemistry, was used to fabricate multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) nanocomposites. Self-healing nanocomposite hydrogels were facilely designed with these nanocomposites through dynamic supramolecular interactions. Using mussel-inspired PDA chemistry from MWCNTs, nanocomposites (MWCNTs@PDA-P4VP) were successfully prepared by metal-free PET-ATRP with MWCNTs@PDA-Br as an initiator, rhodamine B as photocatalyst, 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) as monomer, respectively. Importantly, the obtained nanocomposite hydrogels had high mechanical strength (2.9 MPa), prior fracture strain (633.8%) and excellent self-healing property (90.6%). These methodologies will provide opportunities for the design of eco-functional materials or flexible biosensors.

A large effective surface area and a good electrical conductivity are very important characteristics for electrodes used in wastewater treatment. To improve them while lowering the cost, a novel MWCNTs-modified (Ti/ATONPs-MWCNTs) electrode was produced by a screen-printing technique. To test its performance, the electrode was compared to two other electrodes, namely, Ti/SnO2-Sb and Ti/ATONPs. Several important electrochemical measurements including impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronocoulometry (CC) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), were used in this study. A toxic organic dye (C.I. Acid Red 73) was chosen as the target pollutant to test the degradation by the removal of chroma and chemical oxygen demand (COD). Compared to Ti/SnO2-Sb and Ti/ATONPs, Ti/ATONPs-MWCNTs show the lowest charge transfer resistance (0.24 Ω), the largest effective surface area (61.97 cm2·cm-2) and the highest oxygen evolution potential (2.15 V). It is known that superior values of these performance characteristics are very important for improving the efficiency of wastewater decontamination. After 90 min electrolysis using Ti/ATONPs-MWCNTs, the removal of AR 73 reached 59.4%, while the energy consumption was as low as only 6.2 Wh·L-1. The remnant COD was only 45% after 3 h of degradation, with an instantaneous current efficiency (ICE) over 80% obtained for Ti/ATONPs-MWCNTs. These results demonstrate the promising prospects for the use of the novel Ti/ATONPs-MWCNTs electrodes in wastewater treatment processes.

In the current study, bimetallic-organic gel (ZrFe-MOGs) were rapidly prepared without using any toxic or harmful organic solvent , and new bimetallic oxide ZrFeO x were prepared by roasting ZrFe-MOGs directly. Then ZrFeO x nanoparticles were combined with 3D RGO/MWCNTs by a solvothermal method to synthesize 3D RGO/MWCNTs@ZrFeO x hybrid. Due to its three-dimensional structure, large electroactive surface area and more active sites, and excellent conductivity, the electrocatalytic activity of the modified electrode for the oxidation of dopamine (DA) and paracetamol (PAT) was effectively improved, and the overlap of anode peak due to their closer electrochemical oxidation potentials was solved. Under optimal conditions, the linear responses to DA and PAT were in the range of 1 − 12 μM, 12 − 180 μM and 1 − 14 μM, 14 − 190 μM, respectively. The detection limits (S/N = 3) for DA and PAT were 0.230 and 0.212 μM, respectively. The optimized 3D RGO/MWCNTs@ZrFeO x has good reproducibility, repeatability, stability, selectivity, and can be used to detect DA and PAT simultaneously. In addition, the proposed RGO/MWCNTs@ZrFeO x sensor exhibited a good recovery factor in the analysis of real drug and serum samples with a relative standard deviation of less than 5 %. Importantly, the electroactive area of 3D RGO/MWCNTs@ZrFeO x , and the 2 H + /2e - mechanism of DA and PAT oxidation on the surface of 3D RGO/MWCNTs@ZrFeO x were discussed, which provided a theoretical basis for further understanding of this redox process .

Nowadays, flexible multifunctional composites are attracting much attention and are practically being used in various emerging electronic devices. However, most composites suffer from the disadvantages of high loadings of conductive fillers, complicated preparation processes, and low energy conversion efficiency. In this article, Caffeic acid-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (C-MWCNTs)/poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT:PSS)/polyimide (PI) composite films (CPFs) were prepared using a simple layer-by-layer deposition method. The “reinforced concrete” structure of the C-MWCNTs/PEDOT:PSS layer ensures high electrical conductivity of the film, while the PI layer provides excellent mechanical properties (72.69 MPa). The composite film exhibits excellent electrothermal response and thermal stability up to approximately 125 °C at 5 V. In addition, the good conductivity of the film provides its electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (32.69 dB). With these advantages, we expect that flexible CPFs will be widely utilized in wearable devices, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications, and thermal management of personal or electronic devices.

Nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22) is one of the most important tumor markers of bladder cancer and is significantly elevated in the urine of bladder cancer patients. Therefore, in this work, a highly sensitive ratiometric electrochemical immunosensor was constructed to detect NMP22 based on ZIF-8@MWCNTs@Chit@Fc@AuNPs composites. ZIF-8 had a large surface area and good adsorption ability. Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) can optimize the electrical conductivity of ZIF-8, so that the electrode surface of ferrocene (Fc) obtains a stable and strong electrochemical signal. In addition, AuPt-MB provided another strong detection signal methylene blue (MB) while immobilizing the secondary antibody (Ab2) through Au–N and Pt–N bonds. A ratiometric electrochemical sensor was formed based on ZIF-8@MWCNTs@Chit@Fc@AuNPs and AuPt-MB, which showed a great linear connection between IMB/IFc and the logarithmic concentration of NMP22 with a detection limit of 3.33 fg mL−1 (S/N = 3) under optimized specifications in the concentration interval of 0.01 pg mL−1 to 1000 ng mL−1. In addition, the ratiometric immunosensor showed good selectivity and stability.

A novel proposal is introduced with an unlabeled electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of tumor broad-spectrum biomarker vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165) Copper-based metal organic frameworks (Cu MOFs)-carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were employed as its substrates, functionalized with methylene blue (MB) for signal enhancement. Cu-MOFs-MWCNTs nanocomposites were synthesized successfully via a solvothermal method and were then deposited on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), with the addition of methylene blue to amplify the signal. Due to the expansive specific surface area provided by the carbon nanotubes and the amino groups facilitated by the metal–organic framework nanomaterials, the anti-VEGF165 monoclonal antibody was immobilized on the electrochemical immunosensor through covalent bonding, which could bind specifically to VEGF165, thereby causing a detectable change in the current. The developed immunosensor exhibited a linear detection range for VEGF165 spanning from 1 to 100,000 pg/ml, with the R 2 value of 0.997 by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method, and the limit of detection was as low as 0.9686. Additionally, the electrochemical immunosensor presented commendable selectivity, availability, and reproducibility, along with an effective capacity for detecting VEGF165 in clinical samples. Consequently, the immunosensor is expected to revolutionize early screening for VEGF165-related diseases, which offer a promising, cost-effective, and precise diagnostic tool for clinical utility.

MOFs-derived magnetic carbon-based composites exhibit great application potentials in electromagnetic absorption field. Nowadays, the MOF-on-MOF hybrid materials, constructed by self-assembly of two or more MOFs, gradually become the prevailing precursors for efficient microwave absorbers due to the flexible structure and component design which are beneficial to improving microwave attenuation and optimizing impedance matching. Herein, the binary MOF-on-MOF hybrid templates MIL-88A@ZIF-67 has been fabricated based on a surfactant-assisted growth strategy, and subsequently thermally converted into the spindle-like Co 3 Fe 7 @NC/magnetic MWCNTs composites (CFM) through a DCDA-assisted carbothermal reduction method. It has been revealed that the carbothermal temperature could not only regulate the crystallinity of Co 3 Fe 7 alloys and magnetism of CFM composites, but also make significant impact on chemical and mesoscopic structure of conductively hierarchical architecture composed by surficial MWCNTs and pyrolytic carbon derived from various ligands of different MOFs. Among the three proposed absorbers in this work, the CFM-700 sample with densest surficial magnetic MWCNTs achieved a satisfied balance between intrinsic microwave consumption and impedance matching due to the magnetic-dielectric synergistic effect. The reflection loss of CFM-700 could keep staying below −20 dB in an ultra-wide range from 3.6 GHz to 18.0 GHz when the thickness varies from 1.3 mm to 5.45 mm. Moreover, the minimum reflection loss of CFM-700 is −68.75 dB at 1.88 mm and the effective absorbing bandwidth could reach 4.72 GHz at only 1.55 mm. It is believed that this work paves an inspiring way to design conductively hierarchical magnetic carbon-based composites with excellent microwave absorption through construction of MOF-on-MOF hybrid structures.
