The low conductivity of many traditional metal-organic-framework (MOF)-based electrode limits their developments in the field of electrochemical energy storage and still of great challenge. The controllable preparation of various kinds of nanomaterials using thiol-functionalized MOF shows great prospects. In this work, a thiol-functionalized metal-organic framework sheet structure (Co-MOF/NF) on nickel foam was successfully prepared by in situ interfacial growth synthesis, which was transformed into its derivatives S-doped β-Co(OH) nanoflowers Co-x/NF (x = 1, 2 and 6) in different concentrations of KOH solutions through ion etching/exchange reaction.

However, synchronous regulation of these two aspects is challenging. In this paper, a novel C@TiO photocatalyst was designed by coupling the surface defect and doping engineering of titania, which can effectively remove rhodamine B (RhB) and has a relatively high performance with wide pH range, high photocatalytic activity and good stability.

In this study, the thermodynamic properties of nano-cadmium sulphide (nano-CdS) were investigated by solubility technology. The nano-CdS powders with different particle sizes were prepared a traditional solvothermal method, and the electrical conductivities of nano-CdS aqueous solutions at different temperatures were measured.

Then, using an easy and effective hemoglobin (Hb) immobilization method, an innovative biosensor with a Fe(3)O(4)/CS-Hb-Fe(3)O(4)/CS "sandwich" configuration was constructed. This biosensor had a fast (less than 10 s) response to H(2)O(2) and excellent linear relationships were obtained in the concentration range of 5.
