3D Printing Technique Fortifies the Ultradeep Hydrodesulfurization Process of Diesel: A Journey of NiMo/AlO-MMT.

In this contribution, we rationally designed and controllably fabricated a NiMo/AlO-montmorillonite (3D-NiMo/AlO-MMT) monolithic catalyst via a 3D printing strategy with economical montmorillonite (MMT) as a binder. The catalytic performance of the resulting NiMo/AlO-MMT for 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) hydrodesulfurization (HDS) was evaluated. The experimental results unveil that the 3D-NiMo/AlO-MMT monolithic catalyst exhibits robust stability and exceptional HDS activity with 99.

Recent advances of using personal glucose meter as a biosensor readout for non-glucose targets.

Background: Personal glucose meter (PGM) has become the most successful biosensor in past decades due to its advantages of small size, convenient operation, and low cost. To take advantage of many years of research and development of PGMs, new signal transduction methods has been developed to expand the PGM from simple monitoring blood glucose to detection of numerous non-glucose targets.

Objectives: This review summarizes recent advance of PGM-based biosensors for non-glucose targets including signal transduction, signal amplification and target molecule recognition and analysis.
