A surface modified laser-induced graphene based flexible biosensor for multiplexed sweat analysis.

The growing popularity of electrochemical sensors featuring non-invasive biosensing technologies has generated significant enthusiasm for continuous monitoring of bodily fluid biomarkers, potentially aiding in the early detection of health issues in individuals. However, detection of multiple biomarkers in complex biofluids often necessitates a high-density array which creates a challenge in achieving cost-effective fabrication methods. To overcome this constraint, this work reports the fabrication of an electrochemical sensor utilizing a NiO-TiCT MXene-modified flexible laser-induced graphene (LIG) electrode for the separate and concurrent analysis of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA) in human sweat and also addresses the deficiencies in the existing state of the art by offering a cost-efficient and high-performance sensor that mitigates the degrading constraints of conventional LIG electrodes.

Influence of shock waves on bifunctional nickel particles: Enhancing magnetic properties and supercapacitor applications.

In the present study, shock-wave impact experiments were conducted to investigate the structural properties of nickel metal powder when exposed to shock waves. Both X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy were used to evaluate the structural and surface morphological changes in the shock-loaded samples. Notably, the experimental results revealed variations in lattice parameters and cell structures as a function of the number of shock pulses and the increasing volume.
