Summary: Constructing a biofuel cell-based sensor and developing an effective strategy to detect glucose without a potentiostat circuitry is crucial for creating a simple and miniaturized device. In this study, an enzymatic biofuel cell (EBFC) was fabricated using a facile design on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). By immobilizing thionine and flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) on the anode and employing a Pt-free carbon catalyst on the cathode, the EBFC-based sensor was able to detect glucose without the need for a potentiostat.

Summary: Periodical silver nanoparticle arrays were fabricated by magnetron sputtering method on anodic aluminum oxide templates to enhance the UV light emission from ZnO through surface plasmon resonance effect. Theoretical simulations showed that the surface plasmon resonance wavelength depended on the diameter and space of Ag NP arrays. By introducing Ag NP arrays with specific diameter and space, the near band-edge emission intensity from ZnO was doubled. Time-resolved photoluminescence measurement and energy band analysis indicated that the enhancement was due to coupling between surface plasmons in Ag NP arrays and excitons in ZnO, resulting in improved spontaneous emission rate and enhanced local electromagnetic fields.

Summary: A novel hybrid electrocatalyst with a coral-like iron nitride (Fe2N) arrays and tungsten nitride (W2N3) nanosheets as the architecture is introduced, satisfying the requirement of a favorable electronic configuration and a sufficient density of active sites at the interface. The resulting W2N3/Fe2N catalyst exhibits high oxygen and hydrogen evolution reaction (OER and HER) activities with good long-term durability in an alkaline medium. Density functional theory calculations show an upshift in the individual band centers of the hybrid structure, improving the OER and HER activities. This strategy provides a valuable guide for the fabrication of cost-effective multi-metallic crystalline hybrids as multifunctional electrocatalysts.

Summary: Heterointerface engineering is an effective technique for synthesizing highly efficient catalysts. This study developed a heterostructured Ni3Se2 @NiCo-LDH system where NiCo-LDH nanosheets were electrodeposited on hydrothermally grown pine tree-like Ni3Se2 structures. The heterostructured electrode exhibited significantly enhanced oxygen evolution capability due to the high conductivity of Ni3Se2 and the intrinsic OER activity of NiCo-LDH, as well as the generation of additional active sites at the heterointerface. The findings of this study are expected to pave the way for the production of further heterostructure electrocatalysts.

Summary: In this study, a porous NiFeP/MoO2@Co3O4 core-shell heterostructure was constructed on a nickel foam using a hydrothermal route, phosphorization treatment and atomic layer deposition. The resulting NiFeP/MoO2@Co3O4 cuboids exhibited lower charge transfer resistance, rich electroactive sites, and shorter ion diffusion paths. The excellent supercapacitive performance of the cuboids was attributed to the rich active sites and strong electronic interaction between Co and Ni/Fe/Mo species. Furthermore, a hybrid device with a NiFeP/MoO2@Co3O4 cathode and a graphene anode achieved a high energy density and exceptional capacity retention.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
