Summary: In recent years, the quantification of hydrogen peroxide has attracted increasing attention in various fields. Electrochemical transducers have gained particular interest due to their ease of fabrication, convenient integration with microfluidics and electronics, and cost-effectiveness. This study utilizes the novel technique of Aerosol jet printing to fabricate fully printed nanostructured electrochemical sensors for hydrogen peroxide detection. The performances of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene as printable nanostructures are explored and discussed. Both materials demonstrate comparable limit of detections (LODs) and sensitivity, with CNTs performing better in terms of sensitivity and graphene having a better resistance against noise.

Summary: The presence of pesticide and mycotoxin residues in food poses a potential risk to human health. Traditional detection methods, such as HPLC, lack sensitivity and convenience. In recent years, nanotechnology has facilitated the development of electrochemical biosensors based on nanomaterials, which offer rapid and accurate detection of trace amounts of pesticides and mycotoxins. This review examines English articles on electrochemical biosensors published between 2011 and 2022, focusing on various nanomaterials, including noble metals, magnetic nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and its derivatives. The roles of these nanomaterials in the detection process are discussed, along with the targeted pesticides and mycotoxins. Despite significant progress, challenges still need to be addressed for further advancements in electrochemical nano-biosensors.

Summary: We synthesized a carbon nanotubes-en-capsulated Ni nanoparticles catalyst through a facile chemical vapor deposition approach for electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR). The Ni@N-C catalyst exhibited the highest CO Faraday efficiency (FECO%) of 90% at -0.77 V vs. RHE in the H-type cell. Moreover, it showed a high FECO% of over 93% within the range of -0.37 to -0.77 V vs. RHE in the flow cell. The excellent catalytic performance of Ni@N-C suggests that N-doped carbon nanotubes coated on Ni nanoparticles play a vital role in promoting ECR activity. This work provides insights into the development of a simple and efficient electrocatalyst for ECR.

Summary: A hydrothermal methodology followed by calcinations was employed to prepare a CeO2-MnO2/CNF composite with superior electrochemical energy storage and sensing performance. The composite exhibited efficient hybrid sensing and electrode properties due to the growth of agglomerated CeO2 clusters with needle-shaped MnO2 decorated on the CNF surface. The surface structure and chemical features of the nanocomposite were characterized, and the XRD analysis confirmed the crystalline phase of CeO2-MnO2 on CNF. The synthesized composite showed specific capacitance, capacitive retention, energy density, and power density values, indicating its potential as an electrode material. Furthermore, the composite displayed good sensitivity and low detection limit when tested as a sensing material for H2O2.

Summary: By using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and simulated body fluid method, Ti6Al7Nb alloy was modified with Al2O3 and coated with apatite. Various techniques including X-Ray Fluorescence (FRX), Energy Scattering X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction Spectroscopy (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy, and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) were used to determine the chemical and crystallographic composition of Ti6Al7Nb before and after surface modifications. The results showed that the surface modifications improved the bioactivity of the titanium alloy by promoting the formation of microporosity and influencing the nucleation of apatite at the nanoscale. These nanofilms were found to be non-cytotoxic, making them promising for tissue engineering applications.

Summary: Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted attention as a promising energy storage system due to their high energy density, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, challenges such as capacity decay and poor cycling stability arise from the dissolution of lithium polysulfides during cycling. Catalysts have shown significant progress in addressing these issues by promoting redox reactions and suppressing the shuttle effect. The concept of medium and high entropy materials has emerged as a novel approach for designing advanced catalysts for lithium-sulfur batteries.
