A novel electrochemical sensor for the detection of glucose was constructed based on the use of Co3O4/PbO2 core-shell nanorod arrays as electrocatalysts. In this paper the Co3O4/PbO2 core-shell nanorod arrays grow directly on a flexible carbon cloth substrate by the combination of hydrothermal synthesis and electrochemical deposition methods. The as-prepared hierarchical nanocomposites show the structural characteristics of nanowire core and nanoparticle shell. The carbon cloth-supported Co3O4/PbO2 nanorod array electrode exhibits higher sensitivity (460.3 μA mM(-1)cm(-2) in the range from 5 μM to 1.2mM) and lower detection limit (0.31 μM (S/N=3)) than the carbon cloth-supported Co3O4 nanowire array electrode. Both the three-dimensional network of carbon cloth substrate and the hierarchical nanostructure of binary Co3O4/PbO2 composites make such an electrode have high electrocatalytic activity towards the glucose oxidation. Due to the excellent sensitivity, repeatability and anti-interference ability, the carbon cloth-supported Co3O4/PbO2 nanorod arrays will be the promising materials for fabricating practical non-enzymatic glucose sensors.

This study employed polyoxometalate CoMo as a precursor and a two-step method to prepare carbon cloth-supported CuS-CoS-MoS materials. The morphology and structure of the materials were characterized using XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, and other techniques. Interestingly, changes in the reducing gas during the calcination process could adjust the product morphology, thereby altering catalytic activity.

A free-standing electrode based on carbon cloth-supported Fe-doped polydopamine-derived carbon (Fe/PDA-C/CC) was developed for the simultaneous detection of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). First, dopamine was self-polymerized on the surface of the carbon cloth to obtain polydopamine coatings. Subsequently, Fe was introduced through the formation of a coordinate bond with the hydroxyl functional group in the polydopamine layer.

The development of low-cost and high-efficiency oxygen evolution reaction (OER) photoelectrocatalysts is a key requirement for H generation via solar-assisted water splitting. In this study, we report on an amenable fabrication route to carbon cloth-supported graphitic carbon nitride (gCN) nanoarchitectures, featuring a modular dispersion of NiO as co-catalyst. The synergistic interaction between gCN and NiO, along with the tailoring of their size and spatial distribution, yield very attractive OER performances and durability in freshwater splitting, of great significance for practical end-uses.

Electrolysis of seawater using solar and wind energy is a promising technology for hydrogen production which is not affected by the shortage of freshwater resources. However, the competition of chlorine evolution reactions and oxygen evolution reactions on the anode is a major obstacle in the upscaling of seawater electrolyzers for hydrogen production and energy storage, which require chlorine-inhibited oxygen evolution electrodes to become commercially viable. In this study, such an electrode was prepared by growing δ-MnO nanosheet arrays on the carbon cloth surface.
