Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer on CuO/TiCT MXene for Propane (CH) Synthesis from Electrochemical CO Reduction.

Electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR) to produce value-added multi-carbon chemicals has been an appealing approach to achieving environmentally friendly carbon neutrality in recent years. Despite extensive research focusing on the use of CO to produce high-value chemicals like high-energy-density hydrocarbons, there have been few reports on the production of propane (CH), which requires carbon chain elongation and protonation. A rationally designed 0D/2D hybrid CuO anchored-TiCT MXene catalyst (CuO/MXene) is demonstrated with efficient CORR activity in an aqueous electrolyte to produce CH.

Impedimetric sensing platform for sensitive carbendazim detection using MOCVD-synthesized copper graphene.

Nanostructures of graphene were synthesized for electrochemical carbendazim (CBZ) fungicide detection via metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The arduous process of graphene transfer is eliminated by this innovative approach to MOCVD graphene development. It also generates several defects and impurities and ultimately leads to the uniform deposition of graphene on SiO/Si.
