A direct electrochemical method to reduce single-layer graphene oxide (GO) adsorbed on the 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)-modified conductive electrodes is proposed. The reduced GO adsorbed on glassy carbon electrode was modified with glucose oxidase (GOx) by covalent bonding via a polymer generated by electrografting N-succinimidyl acrylate (NSA). The direct electron transfer between the electrode and GOx molecules was realized. The bioactivity of GOx maintains very well on the electrode. The thus-prepared GOx-modified electrode was successfully used to detect glucose.
The electrochemical study of single-layer, 2D MoS₂ nanosheets reveals a reduction peak in the cyclic voltammetry in NaCl aqueous solution. The electrochemically reduced MoS₂ (rMoS₂) shows good conductivity and fast electron transfer rate in the [Fe(CN)₆]³⁻/⁴⁻ and [Ru(NH₃)₆]²⁺/³⁺ redox systems. The obtained rMoS₂ can be used for glucose detection. In addition, it can selectively detect dopamine in the presence of ascorbic acid and uric acid. This novel material, rMoS₂, is believed to be a good electrode material for electrochemical sensing applications.
A non-noble metal based 3D porous electrocatalyst is prepared by self-assembly of the liquid-exfoliated single-layer CoAl-layered double hydroxide nanosheets (CoAl-NSs) onto 3D graphene network, which exhibits higher catalytic activity and better stability for electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction compared to the commercial IrO2 nanoparticle-based 3D porous electrocatalyst.
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.
