Article Synopsis
- The rising need for diabetes diagnosis has led to the creation of advanced glucose sensing technologies, particularly non-enzymatic sensors.
- Researchers developed polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-conjugated bimetallic Pt-Pd nanosuperlattices (BMNSLs) through a simple method, achieving precise and controlled nanostructures in the size range of 3-5 nm.
- The Pt-Pd BMNSLs showed effective selective detection of glucose in various substances and demonstrated promising results for real serum and urine analyses, indicating their potential for low-cost non-enzymatic glucose sensors.
Cellulose Derived Graphenic Fibers for Capacitive Desalination of Brackish Water.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
September 2015
We describe a simple and inexpensive cellulose-derived and layer-by-layer stacked carbon fiber network electrode for capacitive deionization (CDI) of brackish water. The microstructure and chemical composition were characterized using spectroscopic and microscopic techniques; electrochemical/electrical performance was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and 4-probe electrical conductivity and surface area by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, respectively. The desalination performance was investigated using a laboratory batch model CDI unit, under fixed applied voltage and varying salt concentrations.

CoFe2O4 and CoFe2O4 loaded ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by a simple co-precipitation method and characterized using various analytical tools and in addition to check its visible light assisted photocatalytic activity. CoFe2O4/ZnO nanocatalyst coupled with acceptor, peroxomonosulphate (PMS) showed 1.
