The influence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the electrochemical behaviour of pure Mg and Fe was studied in simulated body fluid (SBF), in view of the possible application of these materials as biodegradable metals. Results indicate a different trend for the BSA-effect on corrosion for the two metals: for Mg, a strong corrosion-inhibiting effect is observed in the presence of BSA in solution, especially for short-term exposure, whereas for Fe only a slight acceleration of corrosion is caused by the addition of BSA to the solution. For both metals, the protein-effect on the electrochemical behaviour shows a complex time-dependence. Surface analysis indicates that stronger BSA adsorption takes place on Mg than on Fe. Moreover, adsorption experiments with BSA and a second protein (lysozyme) were conducted. The results are discussed in view of electrostatic interactions between differently charged metal oxide/hydroxide surfaces and proteins.

New carbon-based materials (CMs) are recommended as attractively active materials due to their diverse nanostructures and unique electron transport pathways, demonstrating great potential for highly efficient energy storage applications, electrocatalysis, and beyond. Among these newly reported CMs, metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived CMs have achieved impressive development momentum based on their high specific surface areas, tunable porosity, and flexible structural-functional integration. However, obstacles regarding the integrity of porous structures, the complexity of preparation processes, and the precise control of active components hinder the regulation of precise interface engineering in CMs.

The favorable redox properties of ferrocene have led to the extensive development of ferrocene-based systems for several electrochemical applications but have scarcely been explored for electrochromism. Here, we report the synthesis and electrochromic properties of novel π-conjugated ferrocene-dicyanovinylene systems (- and -). Monosubstituted (-) and disubstituted (-) compounds have been developed via Knoevenagel condensation of methyl-dicyanovinyl ferrocenes ( or ) with various aromatic aldehydes.

Understanding the adsorption behavior of intermediates at interfaces is crucial for various heterogeneous systems, but less attention has been paid to metal species. This study investigates the manipulation of Co spin states in ZnCoO spinel oxides and establishes their impact on metal ion adsorption. Using electrochemical sensing as a metric, we reveal a quasi-linear relationship between the adsorption affinity of metal ions and the high-spin state fraction of Co sites.

Background: Accurate monitoring glucose level is significant for human health management, especially in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of diabetes. Electrochemical quantification of glucose is a convenient and rapid detection method, and the crucial aspect in achieving great sensing performance lies in the selection and design of the electrode material. Among them, CuO, with highly catalysis ability, is commonly used as electrocatalyst in non-enzymatic glucose sensing.
