Hydrazine fuel-cell technology holds great promise for clean energy, not only because of the greater energy density of hydrazine compared to hydrogen but also due to its safer handling owing to its liquid state. However, current technologies involve the use of precious metals (such as platinum) for hydrazine oxidation, which hinders the further application of hydrazine fuel-cell technologies. I...

Surfactant modified carbon nanotube paste electrode is prepared as electrochemical sensor with high sensitivity responding to mitoxantrone (MTX). Electrochemical oxidation of MTX is investigated in buffered solution by cyclic voltammetry that is found very sensitive method for detection of MTX.

Vertical graphene heterostructures have been introduced as an alternative architecture for electronic devices by using quantum tunneling. Here, we present that the current on/off ratio of vertical graphene field-effect transistors is enhanced by using an armchair graphene nanoribbon as an electrode. Moreover, we report spin-dependent tunneling current of the graphene/MoS2 heterostructures. When...

A novel selective and sensitive electrochemical sensor for insulin detection has been fabricated and investigated. The electrochemical sensor was made from a mixture of silica gel, chitosan and nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)2) nanoparticles, which was mounted on a silver wire and covered by a glass tube (silica gel/chitosan/Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles paste electrode). The sensor was characterized using cy...

Ag nanoparticles-modified 3D graphene foam was synthesized through a one-step in-situ approach and then directly applied as the electrode of an electrochemical sensor. The composite foam electrode exhibited electrocatalytic activity towards Hg(II) oxidation with high limit of detection and sensitivity of 0.11 μM and 8.0 μA/μM, respectively. Moreover, the composite foam electrode for the sensor ...

a carbon-paste electrode (cpe) chemically modified with the n-4,4'-azodianiline(ferrocenyl schiff base) complex and multi wall carbon nanotubes (adafcnte) was used as a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for determination of trace amounts of atenolol. the oxidation peak potentials in cyclic voltammogram of adafcnte occurred around 550 mv vs ag/agcl (at ph 6.0) while this peak potentia...

A novel amperometric nitrite (NO2 − ) sensor was developed based on immobilization of hemoglobin (Hb) on a graphene nanosheet modified electrode by chitosan-N, N-Dimethylformamide (CS-DMF) hydrogel. The surface morphologies of the modified electrode were characterized by SEM, and direct electrochemistry of Hb on the graphene nanosheet-based electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammetry.

Expanded mesocarbon microbeads (EMCMBs) with graphene oxide (GO) sheets were prepared by expanding graphitized mesocarbon microbeads (MCMBs) using a simple solution-based oxidative process. EMCMB-supported nickel nanoparticles with an average size of 4.6 nm were fabricated by an electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method in the presence of nickel nitrate additive. Nickel ions were self-assembled o...
