Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) is environmentally stable and endocrine-disrupting. It was resistant to conventional biodegradation and advanced oxidation processes. Electrochemical oxidation method was adopted to degrade PFOA. The anodes, including BDD, Pt, Ti, Ti/RuO2, Ti/RuO2-IrO2, Ti/In2O3, Ti/SnO2-Sb2O5,-IrO2, Ti/SnO2-Sb2O5,-RhO2, Ti/SnO2-Sb2O5, Ti/ SnO2-Sb2O5,-CeO2 and Ti/SnO2-Sb2O5-Bi2O3, were selected as the candidate materials. The oxygen evolution potential (OEP) were determined by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The degradation ratios and the defluorination ratios were used to evaluate the oxidation ability of anodic materials. Ultrasonic electrochemical oxidation indirectly demonstrated that direct electron transfer was the initial step for PFOA decomposition. The anodes of Ti/SnO,-Sb20 ,-Bi2,03, Ti/SnO-Sb ,O,-CeO,, Ti/SnO2-Sb20, and BDD effectively degraded PFOA, and the decomposition ratios were 89. 8% , 89. 8% , 93. 3% and 98. 0% , respectively. The removal ratios of PFOA on Ti/ SnO2-Sb2O5,-RhO2, Ti/SnO2-Sb2O5-IrO2, and Ti/In2O3 anodes were low, and the values were 2. 1%, 2.3% , 12. 5% and 3.1%, respectively. However, Ti, Ti/RuO2 and Ti/RuO2-IrO2, had no effect on PFOA. PFOA molecule transferred electrons to the anode, decarboxylated, and followed the CF2, unzipping cycle. The intermediate products detected were C6F13 COO- , C5F11COO-, C4F9COO- and C3F7,COO-.

Copper-based electrocatalysts are recognized as crucial catalysts for CO electroreduction into multi-carbon products. However, achieving copper-based electrocatalysts with adjustable valences via one-step facile synthesis remains a challenge. In this study, Cu/CuO heterostructure is constructed by adjusting the anion species of the Cu ions-containing electrolyte during electrodeposition synthesis.

Anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) are among the most promising sustainable electrochemical technologies to help solve energy challenges. Compared to proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), AEMFCs offer a broader choice of catalyst materials and a less corrosive operating environment for the bipolar plates and the membrane. This can lead to potentially lower costs and longer operational life than PEMFCs.

In this paper, a novel molecularly imprinted polymer membrane modified glassy carbon electrode for electrochemical sensors (MIP-OH-MWCNTs-GCE) for epinephrine (EP) was successfully prepared by a gel-sol method using an optimized functional monomer oligosilsesquioxane-AlO sol-ITO composite sol (ITO-POSS-AlO). Hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (OH-MWCNTs) were introduced during the modification of the electrodes, and the electrochemical behavior of EP on the molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensors was probed by the differential pulse velocity (DPV) method. The experimental conditions were optimized.

The use of nanozymes for electrochemical detection in the food industry is an intriguing area of research. In this study, we synthesized a laccase mimicking the MnO@CeO nanozyme using a simple hydrothermal method, which was characterized by modern analytical methods, such as transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), etc. We found that the addition of MnO significantly increased the laccase-like activity by 300% compared to CeO nanorods.
