A new electrochemical immunosensing protocol was designed for detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, as a model protein) by using graphene-carried poly(o-phenylenediamine)/gold hybrid nanosheets (GNPGs) as signal tags on the hierarchical dendritic gold microstructures (HDGMs)-modified glassy carbon electrode. To prepare the signal tags, poly(o-phenylenediamine) molecules were initially immobilized on the surface of graphene nanosheets via the π-stacking interaction. Then gold nanoparticles were assembled onto the poly(o-phenylenediamine)-modified graphene nanosheets, which were used for the labeling of anti-CEA detection antibodies and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The as-prepared GNPGs were characterized by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The assay was carried out with a sandwich-type immunoassay format in pH 5.5 acetic acid-buffered saline solutions containing 2.5 mmol L(-1) H2O2. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical immunoassay exhibited a wide dynamic range of 0.005-80 ng mL(-1) toward CEA standards with a low detection limit of 5.0 pg mL(-1). Intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were less than 11.5%. No significant difference at the 0.05 significance level was encountered in the analysis of 6 clinical serum specimens and 6 spiked blank new born cattle serum specimens between the developed immunoassay and commercially available electrochemiluminescent (ECL) method for the detection of CEA.

Electrochemical water splitting is a promising method for the generation of "green hydrogen", a renewable and sustainable energy source. However, the complex, multistep synthesis processes, often involving hazardous or expensive chemicals, limit its broader adoption. Herein, a nitrate (NO) anion-intercalated nickel-iron-cerium mixed-metal (oxy)hydroxide heterostructure electrocatalyst is fabricated on nickel foam (NiFeCeOH@NF) via a simple electrodeposition method followed by cyclic voltammetry activation to enhance its surface properties.

Thin films fabricated from solution-processed graphene nanosheets are of considerable technological interest for a wide variety of applications, such as transparent conductors, supercapacitors, and memristors. However, very thin printed films tend to have low conductivity compared to thicker ones. In this work, we demonstrate a simple layer-by-layer deposition method which yields thin films of highly-aligned, electrochemically-exfoliated graphene which have low roughness and nanometer-scale thickness control.

As three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a new manufacturing technology, the demand for high-performance 3D printable materials has increased to ensure broad applicability in various load-bearing structures. In particular, the thixotropic properties of materials, which allow them to flow under applied external forces but resist flowing otherwise, have been reported to enable rapid and high-resolution printing owing to their self-standing and easily processable characteristics. In this context, graphene nanosheets exhibit unique π-π stacking interactions between neighboring sheets, likely imparting self-standing capability to low-viscosity inks.

The clogging of sieving pores due to the complex sewage system of mixed molecules and nanoparticles of different scales is a difficulty in the membrane-based separation process. When the holes are reduced to the point where they can repel small molecules in the contaminants, large-molecule contaminants can adsorb to the holes and decrease the permeability. A similar question remains in new promising graphene oxide (GO) membranes.

Poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) is a rapidly degradable polymer mainly used in medical applications, attributed to its relatively high cost. Reducing its price will boost its utilization in a wider range of application fields, such as gas barriers and shale gas extraction. This article presents a strategy that utilizes recycled PGA as a raw material alongside typical carbon nanomaterials, such as graphene oxide nanosheets (GO) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), to produce low-cost, fully degradable yarns via electrospinning and twisting techniques.
