We report on the electrochemical characteristics of GaN nanowire (NW) ensembles grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on Si111 substrates and on the influence of Si and Mg doping. The NW electrochemical properties in terms of surface capacitance (C(S)), surface resistance (R(S)) are extracted from electrochemical impedance spectra. While Mg doping of GaN NWs does not cause a significant variation of these quantities, an increase of the Si concentration leads to an increase of C(S) and a simultaneous decrease of R(S), indicating the presence of charge carriers in the NWs. According to the extracted values for R(S) and C(S) the NWs are classified into resistive and conductive. For conductive NWs charge transfer to a ferricyanide redox couple in the electrolyte is demonstrated and the ensemble average of the flatband voltage was determined. Variation of the lateral surface potential due to application of an external bias via the electrolyte is demonstrated.

Lithium-sulfur batteries have been recognized as one of the excellent candidates for next-generation energy storage batteries because of their high energy density and low cost and low pollution. However, lithium-sulfur batteries have been challenged by low conductivity, low sulfur utilization, poor cycle life, and the shuttle effect of polysulfides. To address these problems, we report here an independent mixed sulfur host.

Aryl diazenes, particularly azobenzenes (AB), represent a versatile class of compounds with significant historical and practical relevance, ranging from dyes to molecular machines, solar thermal and electrochemical storage. Their oxygen-substituted counterparts, azoxybenzenes (AOB), share structural similarities but have been less explored, especially in energy storage applications. This study investigates the redox properties of AOB, comparing them to AB, and evaluates their potential as redox-active materials for energy storage systems.

With the miniaturization, integration and intelligence of sweat electrochemical sensor technology, hydrogel flexible sensors have demonstrated immense potential in the field of real-time and non-invasive personal health monitoring. However, it remains a challenge to integrate excellent mechanical properties, self-healing properties, and electrochemical sensing capabilities into the preparation of hydrogel-based flexible sensors. The utilization of CBPG (cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)@bovine serum albumin (BSA)@polyethyleneimine (PEI) glucose oxidase (GOD) nanomaterial) as both an enhancing phase and sensor probe within a hydrogel matrix, with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) serving as the primary network constituent, has been proposed as a non-invasive technique for monitoring trace glucose levels in sweat.

Foodborne diseases are a significant cause of morbidity (600 million cases) and mortality (420,000 deaths) worldwide every year and are mainly associated with pathogens. Besides the direct effects on human health, they have relevant concerns related to financial, logistics, and infrastructure for the food and medical industries. The standard pathogen identification techniques usually require a sample enrichment step, plating, isolation, and biochemical tests.
