Polyaniline (PANI) nanobrushes were synthesized by template-free electrochemical galvanostatic methods. When the same method was applied to the carbon nanohorn (CNH) solution containing aniline monomers, a hybrid nanostructure containing PANI and CNHs was enabled after electropolymerization. This is the first report on the template-free method to make PANI nanobrushes and homogeneous hybrid soft matter (PANI) with carbon nanoparticles. Raman spectroscopy was used to analyze the interaction between CNH and PANI. Electrochemical nanofabrication offers simplicity and good control when used to make electronic devices. Both of these materials were applied in supercapacitors and an improvement capacitive current by using the hybrid material was observed.

A novel multilayer nanoflake structure of manganese oxide/graphene oxide (γ-MnO/GO) was fabricated a simple template-free chemical precipitation method, and the modified carbon felt (CF) electrode with γ-MnO/GO composite was used as an anode material for microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The characterization results revealed that the γ-MnO/GO composite has a novel multilayer nanoflake structure and offers a large specific surface area for bacterial adhesion. The electrochemical analyses demonstrated that the γ-MnO/GO composite exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity and enhanced the electrochemical reaction rate and reduced the electron transfer resistance, consequently facilitating extracellular electron transfer (EET) between the anode and bacteria.

Article Synopsis
- Nickel pyrovanadate (NVO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are synthesized together using a solvothermal method, resulting in a crystalline NVO structure and amorphous rGO within the nanocomposite.
- The formation of a hollow nanosphere shape for NVO is observed, which improves surface area and electrochemical stability due to the rGO incorporation.
- The NVO@rGO 20 composite achieves a specific capacitance of 3807 F/g and retains about 70% of its capacitance after 10,000 cycles, making it a promising candidate for high-performance energy storage devices.

An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor was developed for the highly sensitive and specific detection of heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) and the rapid diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). H-FABP is a biomarker that is highly specific to cardiac tissue and is associated with a range of cardiac diseases. Following myocardial injury, the rate of increase in H-FABP levels is greater than that observed for myoglobin and troponin.

In this paper, we report an inexpensive and easy-to-engineer flexible nanobiosensor electrode platform by exploring a nonconductive overhead projector (OHP) sheet for sweat Neuropeptide-Y (NPY) detection, a potential biomarker for stress, cardiovascular regulation, appetite, etc. We converted a nonconductive OHP sheet into a conductive nanobiosensor electrode platform with a hybrid polymerization method, which consists of interfacial polymerization of pyrrole and a template-free electropolymerization technique to decorate the electrode platform with poly(EDOT-COOH--EDOT-EG3) nanotubes. The selection of poly(EDOT-COOH) features an easy conjugation of NPY antibody (NPY-Ab) through EDC/Sulfo-NHS coupling chemistry, while poly(EDOT-EG3) is best known to reduce nonspecific binding of biomolecules.

In this work, we present a method for direct, site-selective growth of tellurium nanowires by electrochemical deposition. The Te nanowires were grown laterally between two specially designed nanoband electrodes across a gap, and over a dielectric material, forming a lateral device structure directly. The resulting wires are crystalline and phase pure, as evidenced by Raman spectroscopy, EDS (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), and ADF-STEM (annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy).
