High performance of hydrogen peroxide detection using Pt nanoparticles-dispersed carbon electrode prepared by pulsed arc plasma deposition.

We propose novel electrodes with platinum nanoparticles dispersed on a glassy carbon (Pt-NPs/GC) prepared using a pulsed arc plasma deposition (APD) method. The method could coat Pt-NPs on a base material directly with a single-step process in a very short deposition time. The characteristics of the electrodes were discussed in detail.

Nano-cube MgO formed on silicon substrate using pulsed laser deposition.

Nano-cube MgO particles were formed on Si substrates by deposition of an MgO target using pulsed laser deposition method. An epitaxial film grows on Si(001) substrate with its contraction of lattice constants. In this study, expecting high quality MgO film, the MgO film prepared in the oxygen pressure ranging from 75-400 mTorr at the high temperature of -750 degrees C.

Optimizing coverage of metal oxide nanoparticle prepared by pulsed laser deposition on nonenzymatic glucose detection.

Metal oxide nanoparticles prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were applied to nonenzymatic glucose detection. NiO nanoparticles with size of 3 nm were deposited on glassy carbon (GC) and silicon substrates at room temperature in an oxygen atmosphere. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) image showed nanoparticles with the size of 3 nm uniformly scattered on the Si(001) substrate.
