A Highly Sensitive Nonenzymatic Glucose Sensor Based on Carbon Electrode Amplified with PdxCuy Catalyst

Approximately global Pd and Pd₉₄Cu₆ alloy nano catalysts of average diameter 10.5 and 5.9 nm respectively, have been synthesized hydrothermally by wet chemical reduction and co-reduction methods without addition of any capping agent. X-ray diffraction and various microscopic studies are used to characterize the crystal phase and the morphology of the catalysts. Non-enzymatic amperometric glucose sensors based on these synthesized catalyst materials are tested and compared in alkali at different potentials by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The sensors characterized by fixed potential chronoamperometry are found to be sufficiently sensitive to glucose at different negative potentials like −0.65 V, −0.40 V, −0.10 V with respect to Hg/HgO electrode (E⁰≈0.1 V), where the reactions of glucose oxidation are different. The sensor constructed with Pd₉₄Cu₆ nanocatalyst shows an outstanding sensitivity of 10.1 mA cm⁻² mM⁻¹ which is considerably higher than that constructed with similarly synthesized Pd nanoparticles at any potential and that found in the literature of Pd based glucose sensors. The lower detection limit and response time obtained with Pd₉₄Cu₆ nanoparticles are 10 μM and 3 s respectively. These sensors also exhibit high specificity to glucose and significant anti-interference property against some common species like ascorbic acid (AA), uric acid (UA) and some monosaccharides whose interfering effects are found to decrease with decrease of potential of glucose oxidation. The electrocatalytic ability of the synthesized Pd and Pd₉₄Cu₆ nanoparticles toward glucose oxidation has also found promising in blood sample at different potentials.

A New pH Sensor Based on a Glassy Carbon Electrode Coated with a Co/Al Layered Double Hydroxide

A glassy carbon electrode has been coated by electrodeposition with a thin film of cobalt based layered double hydroxide (LDH) and used as a pH sensor. The developed electrode displays a linear super‐Nernstian response (?76.2±0.6 mV/pH) in the pH range between 2 and 14 and it is particularly suitable to operate in strongly alkaline solution. The reproducibility of the sensor construction is good with a relative standard deviation of the calibration curve slopes of±2.5 % (n=4). The electrode has a response time comparable to that exhibited by commercial glass electrodes in the pH range examined and is not affected by interference from the most common anions and cations.     

La~(3+)掺杂NiCo层状双金属氢氧化物纳米片的合成及其电化学性能

稀土离子La~(3+)掺杂的NiCo层状双金属氢氧化物纳米片具有高的超级电容器性能,比容量达到1115 F/g(1A/g)、倍率性能为517 F/g(30 A/g)。研究表明,La~(3+)离子掺杂不改变NiCo层状双金属氢氧化物晶体结构,但会显著影响其电子和离子传导特性,从而改变其电化学性能。根据离子电负性标度,La~(3+)(1.327)和Co~(2+)(1.377)离子的电负性值最接近,掺杂La~(3+)会优先取代Co~(2+)离子位置。由于La~(3+)离子的尺寸作用(106 pm),使得最优掺杂比例较小仅为0.26%,电化学结果表明较少的La~(3+)掺杂比例依然会显著调节NiCo层状双金属氢氧化物的电子/离子输运性质。     

钴钒水滑石纳米片用于电催化尿素氧化

电解水是一种常用的制氢方法,但高能耗的阳极析氧反应(OER)阻碍了其应用。尿素氧化反应(UOR)具有较低的热力学电势,是最有前景的OER替代反应之一。过渡金属基水滑石具有独特的层状结构和层间阴离子可交换等优点,被认为是性能优异的UOR催化剂,然而目前大多数研究主要聚焦于后过渡金属元素。该研究通过一步法制备了具有前/后过渡金属的CoV-LDHs纳米片。与相同方法制备的Co(OH)₂相比,CoV-LDHs纳米片具有以下优点：1)纳米片结构有利于暴露更多的活性位点。2) V的引入增强了CoV-LDHs的亲水性,提高了其本征电催化动力学。3) Co (3d⁷4s²)和V (3d³4s²)之间的d-电子补偿效应有利于促进尿素的吸附。因此,CoV-LDHs仅需要1.52 V (vs. RHE) 就可以达到10 mA∙cm⁻²的电流密度,比Co(OH)₂低了70 mV,同时CoV-LDHs较低的塔菲尔斜率表明了其较快的反应动力学。此外,CoV-LDHs在连续反应10 h后,驱动电位几乎没有增加,表明其具有良好的稳定性。该研究结果不仅证明了前/后过渡金属之间的d-电子补偿效应可以提高UOR催化性能,还为设计高效的UOR催化剂提供了可行的途径。     

Remote Synthesis of Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets Through the Automatic Chemical Robot

As a family of two-dimensional functional materials, layered double hydroxides(LDHs) have the characteristics of adjustable lamellar element type and proportion, variable interlamellar anion, controllable particle size and thickness, providing a robust platform for photo/electro/thermal-catalysis. With the continuous progress of materials science, the synthesis of LDHs is becoming more and more refined. Herein, to achieve the fine preparation of LDHs materials, especailly for the no-chemical/material researchers, we successfully assembled the automatic synthesis device and wrote corresponding computer software to control this device, and the automatic synthesis of bulk and monolayer LDHs nanosheets on a laboratory scale can be realized. This work paves a new labor-saving way for the fine synthesis of LDHs nanostructures, further improving the development of LDHs-based materials.     

Non-enzymatic Glucose Sensor Based on Porous Foam Au/MXene Nanocomposites

A novel electrochemical non-enzymatic glucose sensor based on three-dimensional Au/MXene nanocomposites was developed. MXenes were prepared using the mild etched method, and the porous foam of Au nanoparticles was combined with the MXene by means of in situ synthesis. By controlling the mass of MXene in the synthesis process, porous foam with Au nanoparticles was obtained. The three-dimensional foam structure of nanoparticles was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to study the electrochemical performance of the Au/MXene nanocomposites. The Au/MXene nanocomposites acted as a fast redox probe for non-enzymatic glucose oxidation and showed good performance, including a high sensitivity of 22.45 μA\begin{document}$\cdot$\end{document}(mmol/L)\begin{document}$^{-1}$\end{document}\begin{document}$\cdot$\end{document}cm\begin{document}$^{-1}$\end{document} and a wide linear range of 1-12 mmol/L. Studies have shown that MXene as a catalyst-supported material is beneficial to enhance the conductivity of electrons and increase the loading rate of the catalyst materials. The foam structure with Au nanoparticles can provide a larger surface area, increase the contact area with the molecule in the catalytic reaction, and enhance the electrochemical reaction signal. In summary, this study shows that Au/MXene nanoparticles have the potential to be used in non-enzymatic glucose sensors.

CuO nanospheres, synthesized by a simple one‐step hydrothermal method, have been applied to modify the glassy carbon (GC) electrode for sensitive nonenzymatic glucose detection. The CuO nanospheres modified electrode, compared to the Nafion modified GC electrode, exhibits an enhanced electrocatalytic property for direct glucose oxidation and shows a fast response and a high sensitivity for the amperometric detection of glucose. It has been determined that the dissolved oxygen is not involved in glucose oxidation and the high concentration of NaCl does not poison the electrode. These results also indicate that CuO nanospheres have great potential application in electrochemical detection.

Reverse Micelle Synthesis of Colloidal Nickel–Manganese Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets and Their Pseudocapacitive Properties

Colloidal nanosheets of nickel–manganese layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been synthesized in high yields through a facile reverse micelle method with xylene as an oil phase and oleylamine as a surfactant. Electron microscopy studies of the product revealed the formation of colloidal nanoplatelets with sizes of 50–150 nm, and X‐ray diffraction, energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies showed that the Ni–Mn LDH nanosheets had a hydrotalcite‐like structure with a formula of [Ni₃Mn(OH)₈](Cl^?) ? n H₂O. We found that the presence of both Ni and Mn precursors was required for the growth of Ni‐Mn LDH nanosheets. As pseudocapacitors, the Ni–Mn LDH nanosheets exhibited much higher specific capacitance than unitary nickel hydroxides and manganese oxides.     

Preparation of New Layered Double Hydroxide,Co-TiLDH

Layer double hydroxide (LDH) is well known for its ability to intercalate anionic compounds. Most popular LDH is prepared only conventionally with bivalent and trivalent cations. In this study, Co-Ti LDH consisting of bivalent and tetravalent cations was prepared and characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, IR spectra, thermal analysis and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The experimental results indicate that the ageing procedure plays a vital role in the formation of Co-Ti LDH. The insertion of a cyanate anion into LDH was confirmed by chemical analysis and IR spectra. XRD patterns of the prepared LDH (Co-Ti-CNO) showed that the interlayer spacing of the LDH was 0.79 nm. The spacing was similar to that of usual LDH in which chloride or bromide anion is the guest. SEM images show that the morphology of Co-Ti LDH was a plate-like structure or a fibrous structure depending on the preparation conditions.This revised version was published online in July 2005 with a corrected issue number.     

Hierarchical Hollow Nanoprisms Based on Ultrathin Ni‐Fe Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets with Enhanced Electrocatalytic Activity towards Oxygen Evolution

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is involved in various renewable energy systems, such as water‐splitting cells and metal–air batteries. Ni‐Fe layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been reported as promising OER electrocatalysts in alkaline electrolytes. The rational design of advanced nanostructures for Ni‐Fe LDHs is highly desirable to optimize their electrocatalytic performance. Herein, we report a facile self‐templated strategy for the synthesis of novel hierarchical hollow nanoprisms composed of ultrathin Ni‐Fe LDH nanosheets. Tetragonal nanoprisms of nickel precursors were first synthesized as the self‐sacrificing template. Afterwards, these Ni precursors were consumed during the hydrolysis of iron(II) sulfate for the simultaneous growth of a layer of Ni‐Fe LDH nanosheets on the surface. The resultant Ni‐Fe LDH hollow prisms with large surface areas manifest high electrocatalytic activity towards the OER with low overpotential, small Tafel slope, and remarkable stability.     

Controllable Modulation of Defects for Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets by Altering Intercalation Anions for Efficient Electrooxidation Catalysis

Hydrazine (N₂H₄) is considered as one of the most potential energy storage materials in liquid fuel cells, as it contains high energy and power density, and the high-efficiency oxidation of N₂H₄ in fuel cells has drawn great attention. However, the most used catalysts are expensive noble metal catalysts, thus the development of highly efficient non-noble metal catalysts is crucial to reduce the cost of hydrazine oxidation in practical industry. Herein, we synthesized a series of CoFe-layered double hydroxides (CoFe-LDHs) intercalated with different anions via a simple one-step co-precipitation method for the electrooxidation of hydrazine. Through altering the intercalated anions of CoFe-LDHs, the defects and the electronic structure can be well controlled, and the catalytic performance for the electrooxidation of hydrazine were well promoted by using NO₃⁻ intercalated into CoFe-LDH compared with other anions (like Cl⁻, BO₃³⁻, CO₃²⁻). This work developed a series of hydrazine electrooxidation catalysts and established the relationship between the intercalated anions, the fine structure of the catalyst and the electrocatalytic performance.
