Carbon nanomaterials are typically used in electrochemical biosensing applications for their unique properties. We report a hollow graphitic nanocapsule (HGN) utilized as an efficient electrode material for sensitive hydrogen peroxide detection. Methylene blue (MB) molecules could be efficiently adsorbed on the HGN surfaces, and this adsorption capability remained very stable under different pH regimes. HGNs were used as three-dimensional matrices for coimmobilization of MB electron mediators and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to build an HGN-HRP-MB reagentless amperometric sensing platform to detect hydrogen peroxide. This simple HGN-HRP-MB complex demonstrated very sensitive and selective hydrogen peroxide detection capability, as well as high reproducibility and stability. The HGNs could also be utilized as matrices for immobilization of other enzymes, proteins or small molecules and for different biomedical applications.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are often employed in oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) for hydrogen peroxide production due to their tunable structures and compositions. However, COF electrocatalysts require precise structural engineering, such as heteroatoms or metal site doping, to modulate the reaction pathway during the ORR process. In this work, we designed a tetraphenyl-p-phenylenediamine based COF electrocatalyst, namely TPDA-BDA, which exhibited excellent two-electron (2e) ORR performance with high H2O2 selectivity of 89.

Unlabelled: Despite the remarkably high antioxidant activity of tocopherols, their applications in the food industry are limited because of their instability under various conditions. Complexes of α-tocopherol (α-TQ) or α-tocopheryl acetate (α-TQA) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) or starch were prepared and characterized by UV-vis, IR and thermal analysis. Oxidative stability of α-TQ and α-TQA against HO was 74.

Survival rate of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) patients are still to date very poor, and the application of innovative clinical approaches are urgently needed. Cold atmospheric plasmas (CAPs) are partially ionized gases that have shown anti-tumor effectiveness over a wide range of cancer types with potential application into clinics. However, the comprehension of the mechanisms underlying indirect CAP effects plays a key role for the prediction of treatment outcomes.
