Article Abstract

Indirect electrocatalytic conversion of cheap organic raw materials via the activation of S─H and N─H bonds into the value-added S─N/S─S bonds chemicals for industrial rubber production is a promising strategy to realize the atomic economic reaction, during which the kinetic inhibition that is associated with the electron transfer at the electrode/electrolyte interface in traditional direct electrocatalysis can be eliminated to achieve higher performance. In this work, a series of di-copper-substituted phosphotungstatebased foams (PW Cu @CMC) are fabricated with tunable loadings (17 to 44 wt%), which can be successfully applied in indirect electrocatalytic syntheses of sulfenamides and disulfides. Specifically, the optimal PW Cu @CMC (44 wt%) exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance for the construction of S─N/S─S bonds (yields up to 99%) coupling with the efficient production of H (≈50 µmol g  h ). Remarkably, it enables the scale-up production (≈14.4 g in a batch experiment) and the obtained products can serve as rubber vulcanization accelerators with superior properties to traditional industrial rubber additives in real industrial processes. This powerful catalysis system that can simultaneously produce rubber vulcanization accelerator and H may inaugurate a new electrocatalytic avenue to explore polyoxometalate-based foam catalysts in electrocatalysis field.

Direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC) is an efficient power generation device, due to its high energy density, low fuel crossover and low emission. However, the anodic reaction of DFAFC, formic acid oxidation (FAOR), inevitably proceeds through an indirect pathway, adsorbing carbon monoxide intermediate (CO), resulting in a rapid decline of activity for FAOR. Therefore, effectively removing CO is the key to the development of DFAFC.

Background: Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) and 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4-NQO) are cancer markers that play a crucial role in tumor risk assessment and early cancer diagnosis. Therefore, it is in demand to develop a fast, accurate, simple, and cost-effective method to detect these cancer markers for quick and early stage-cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Results: Herein, we report a dual signaling approach for direct and indirect signal transduction of cancer biomarker binding on molecularly imprinted-electrodes integrated on an ePAD, enabling sensitive and selective quantitative analysis of 4-NQO and CEA.
