A novel fluorescence-activated nanobiosensor for detecting biomolecular targets such as proteins and small molecules based on the self-assembled architecture of an aptamer–MoS2 nanosheet.
3D graphene frameworks/Co O composites are produced by the thermal explosion method, in which the generation of Co O nanoparticles, reduction of graphene oxide, and creation of 3D frameworks are simultaneously completed. The process prevents the agglomeration of Co O particles effectively, resulting in monodispersed Co O nanoparticles scattered on the 3D graphene frameworks evenly. The prepared 3D graphene frameworks/Co O composites used as electrodes for supercapacitor display a definite improvement on electrochemical performance with high specific capacitance (≈1765 F g at a current density of 1 A g ), good rate performance (≈1266 F g at a current density of 20 A g ), and excellent stability (≈93% maintenance of specific capacitance at a constant current density of 10 A g after 5000 cycles). In addition, the composites are also employed as nonenzymatic sensors for the electrochemical detection of glucose, which exhibit high sensitivity (122.16 µA mM cm ) and noteworthy lower detection limit (157 × 10 M, S/N = 3). Therefore, the authors expect that the 3D graphene frameworks/Co O composites described here would possess potential applications as the electrode materials in supercapacitors and nonenzymatic detection of glucose.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
