We investigated the electrochemical behavior of hemoglobin by glassy carbon electrode modified with Mn(2)O(3)-Ag nanofibers. The Mn(2)O(3)-Ag nanofibers were used as facilitator electron transfer between Hb and glassy-carbon-modified electrode. The Mn(2)O(3)-Ag nanofibers are studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The hemoglobin showed a quasireversible electrochemical redox behavior with a formal potential of -49 mV (versus Ag/AgCl) in 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.0. The designed biosensor possesses good stability and reproducibility and achieves 95% of the steady-state current in less than five seconds.

Application of one-dimensional nanofibers have witnessed exponential growth over the past few decades and are still emerging with their excellent physicochemical and electrical properties. The driving force behind this intriguing transition lies in their unique high surface-to-volume ratio, ubiquitous nanodomains, improved tensile strength, and flexibility to incorporate deliberate functionalities required for specific and advanced applications. Besides numerous benefits, nanomaterials may adversely interact with biological tissues and potentially be cytotoxic and carcinogenic.

Expanding the spectral response of photocatalysts to facilitate overall water splitting (OWS) represents an effective approach for improving solar spectrum utilization efficiency. However, the majority of single-phase photocatalysts designed for OWS primarily respond to the ultraviolet region, which accounts for a small proportion of sunlight. Herein, we present a versatile strategy to achieve broad visible-light-responsive OWS photocatalysis dominated by direct ligand-to-cluster charge transfer (LCCT) within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

Chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol nanofibrous mats loaded with nano-hydroxyapatite and/or curcumin are successfully fabricated by the electrospinning method for the first time. Nano-hydroxyapatite is prepared by the co-precipitation method. The XRD pattern of calcined powder at 700 °C for 2 h reveals the presence of hydroxyapatite as a sole phase.
