Abstract
A new electrochemical impedimetric sensor for direct detection of urea was designed and fabricated using nanostructured screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) modified with CuO/Co3O4 @MWCNTs. A facile and simple hydrothermal method was achieved for the chemical synthesis of the CuO/Co3O4 nanocomposite followed by the integration of MWCNTs to be the final platform of the urea sensor. A full physical and chemical characterization for the prepared nanomaterials were performed including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), contact angle, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Additionally, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to study the electrochemical properties the modified electrodes with the nanomaterials at different composition ratios of the CuO/Co3O4 or MWCNTs. The impedimetric measurements were optimized to reach a picomolar sensitivity and high selectivity for urea detection. From the calibration curve, the linear concentration range of 10-12-10-2 M was obtained with the regression coefficient (R2) of 0.9961 and lower detection limit of 0.223 pM (S/N = 5). The proposed sensor has been used for urea analysis in real samples. Thus, the newly developed non-enzymatic sensor represents a considerable advancement in the field for urea detection, owing to the simplicity, portability, and low cost-sensor fabrication.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic oxidation of simple organic molecules offers a promising strategy to combat the sluggish kinetics of the water oxidation reaction (WOR). The low potential requirement, inhibition of the crossover of gases, and formation of value-added products at the anode are benefits of the electrocatalytic oxidation of organic molecules. Herein, we developed cobalt-nickel-based layered double hydroxide (LDH) as a robust material for the electrocatalytic oxidation of alcohols and urea at the anode, replacing the WOR. A facile synthesis protocol to form LDHs with different ratios of Co and Ni is adapted. It demonstrates that the reactants could be efficiently oxidized to concomitant chemical products at the anode. The half-cell study shows an onset potential of 1.30 V for benzyl alcohol oxidation reaction (BAOR), 1.36 V for glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR), 1.33 V for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR), and 1.32 V for urea oxidation reaction (UOR) compared with 1.53 V for WOR. Notably, the hybrid electrolyzer in a full-cell configuration significantly reduces the overall cell voltage at a 20 mA cm-2 current density by ∼15% while coupling with the BAOR, EOR, and GOR and ∼12% with the UOR as the anodic half-cell reaction. Furthermore, the efficiency of hydrogen generation remains unhampered with the types of oxidation reactions (alcohols and urea) occurring at the anode. This work demonstrates the prospects of lowering the overall cell voltage in the case of a water electrolyzer by integrating the hydrogen evolution reaction with suitable organic molecule oxidation.

Abstract
The electrochemical urea oxidation reaction (UOR) is crucial for determining industrial and commercial applications of urea-based energy conversion devices. However, the performance of UOR is limited by the dynamic complex of the six-electron transfer process. To this end, it is essential to develop efficient UOR catalysts. Nickel-based materials have been extensively investigated owing to their high activity, easy modification, stable properties, and cheap and abundant reserves. Various material designs and strategies have been investigated in producing highly efficient UOR catalysts including alloying, doping, heterostructure construction, defect engineering, micro functionalization, conductivity modulation, etc. It is essential to promptly review the progress in this field to significantly inspire subsequent studies. In this review, we summarized a comprehensive investigation of the mechanisms of oxidation or poisoning and UOR processes on nickel-based catalysts as well as different approaches to prepare highly active catalysts. Moreover, challenges and prospects for future developments associated with issues of UOR in urea-based energy conversion applications were also discussed.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic urea oxidation reaction (UOR) has attracted substantial research interests over the past few years owing to its critical role in coupled electrochemical systems for energy conversion, for example, coupling with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) to realize urea-assisted hydrogen production and assembling direct urea fuel cells (DUFC) by coupling with the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The UOR process has been proved to be a two-step process which involves an electrochemical pre-oxidation reaction of the metal sites and a subsequent chemical oxidation of the urea molecules on the as-formed high-valence metal sites. Hence, designing advanced (pre-)catalysts with a boosted pre-oxidation reaction is of great importance in improving the UOR performance and thus accelerating the coupled reactions. In this feature article, we discuss the significant role of the pre-oxidation process during the urea electro-oxidation reaction, and summarize detailed strategies and recent advances in promoting the pre-oxidation reaction, including the modulation of the crystallinity, active phase engineering, defect engineering, elemental incorporation and constructing hierarchical nanostructures. We anticipate that this feature article will offer helpful guidance for the design and optimization of advanced (pre-)catalysts for UOR and related energy conversion applications.

Abstract
Graphene and its derivatives, especially graphene oxide (GO), are attracting considerable interest in the fabrication of new adsorbents that have the potential to remove various pollutants that have escaped into the aquatic environment. Herein, the development of GO/chitosan (GO/CS) composites as adsorbent materials is described and reviewed. This combination is interesting as the addition of graphene to chitosan enhances its mechanical properties, while the chitosan hydrogel serves as an immobilization matrix for graphene. Following a brief description of both graphene and chitosan as independent adsorbent materials, the emerging GO/CS composites are introduced. The additional materials that have been added to the GO/CS composites, including magnetic iron oxides, chelating agents, cyclodextrins, additional adsorbents and polymeric blends, are then described and discussed. The performance of these materials in the removal of heavy metal ions, dyes and other organic molecules are discussed followed by the introduction of strategies employed in the regeneration of the GO/CS adsorbents. It is clear that, while some challenges exist, including cost, regeneration and selectivity in the adsorption process, the GO/CS composites are emerging as promising adsorbent materials.

Abstract
A free-standing catalyst electrode for urea electrolysis was synthesized by electroless plating of NiCoB alloy onto a flexible carbon felt. The synthesized NiCoB@C catalyst exhibited porous and partially amorphous metallic structure depending on its composition, as analysed by XRD, XPS, and TEM; thus, NiCoB@C catalyst showed a high catalytic activity for urea oxidation reaction as well as hydrogen evolution reaction. The required cell voltage in the electrolysis cell with NiCoB@C as anode and cathode was as low as 1.34 V for the current densities 10 mA cm-2. Similar performance of the urea electrolysis for H2 production using 0.33 M urea and a fresh urine in 1 M KOH was observed. The result indicated that NiCoB could be incorporated on to carbon felt by electroless plating, and it could be used as free-standing bifunctional electrodes for urea electrolysis using urea as well as urine.

Abstract
Ni-based catalysts have been considered as an efficient anode material for urea fuel cells due to the low cost and high activity in alkaline media. Herein, we demonstrate that Ni-Co bimetallic nanoparticles decorated carbon nanotube aerogels as catalysts for urea oxidation reaction (UOR) can be synthesized by a polyol reduction and sol-gel method. The morphology, structure, and composition of the Ni-Co/MWCNT aerogels were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-Ray diffraction. The electro-catalytic activity of the Ni-Co/MWCNT aerogels towards UOR was investigated using cyclic voltammetry. It was found that the Co-doping at 25% (Co/Ni) significantly increased the oxidation peak current and reduced the overpotential of the UOR. Furthermore, the MWCNT aerogel support also remarkably enhanced electro-catalytic activity by providing a high surface area and fast mass transport for the UOR owing to the porous 3D network structures with uniform distribution of Ni-Co nanoparticles. Urea/O2 fuel cell with Ni-Co/MWCNT aerogel as anode material exhibited an excellent performance with maximum power density of 17.5 mWcm−2 with an open circuit voltage of 0.9 V. Thus, this work showed that the highly porous three-dimensional Ni-Co/MWCNT aerogel catalysts can be used for urea oxidation and as an efficient anode material for urea fuel cells.

Abstract
It is well known that both the structural morphology and chemical doping are important factors that affect the properties of metal hydroxide materials in electrochemical energy storage devices. In this work, an effective method to tailor the morphology and chemical doping of metal hydroxides is developed. It is shown that the morphology and the degree of crystallinity of Ni(OH)2 can be changed by adding glucose in the ethanol-mediated solvothermal synthesis. Ni(OH)2 produced in this manner exhibited an increased specific capacitance, which is partially attributed to its increased surface area. Interestingly, the effect of morphology on cobalt doped-Ni(OH)2 is found to be more effective at low cobalt contents than at high cobalt contents in terms of improving the electrochemical performance. This result reveals the existence of competitive effects between chemical doping and morphology change. These findings will provide important insights to design effective materials for energy storage devices.

Abstract
We have developed a nonenzymatic biosensor for the detection of ammonia and urea oxidation based on the deposition of peptide microstructures onto thiolated gold electrodes. FF-MNSs/MCP/Au assemblies were obtained by modifying gold substrates with 4-mercaptopyridine (MCP), followed by coating with l,l-diphenylalanine micro/nanostructures (FF-MNSs) grown in the solid-vapor phase. Benzene rings and amide groups with peptide micro/nanostructures interact with synthetic NH4(+) receptors through cation-π and hydrogen bonding. AuOH clusters on the Au surface provided the catalytic sites. The application of a predetermined concentration of analytes at the peptide interfaces activated the catalytic sites. We observed a relationship between the stability of films and the crystal structure of peptides, and we organized the FF-MNSs into an orthorhombic symmetry that was the most suitable assembly for creation of our biosensors. At 0.1 mol L(-1) NaOH, these FF-MNSs/MCP/Au electrodes have electrocatalytic properties regarding ammonia and urea oxidation that are comparable to those of enzyme-based architectures. Under optimal conditions, the electrocatalytic response is proportional to the ammonia and urea concentration in the range 0.1-1.0 mmol L(-1). The sensitivity was calculated as 2.83 and 81.3 μA mmol L(-1) cm(-2) for ammonia and urea, respectively, at +0.40 V (vs SCE). Our detection method is easy to follow, does not require a mediator or enzyme, and has strong potential for detecting urea via nonenzymatic routes.

Abstract
Nickel is an ideal non-noble metal anode catalyst for direct urea fuel cell (DUFC) due to its high activity. However, there exists a large overpotential toward urea electrooxidation. Herein, NiCo/C bimetallic nanoparticles were prepared with various Co contents (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt%) to improve the activity. The best Co ratio was 10% in the aspect of cell performance, with a maximum power density of 1.57 mW cm−2 when 0.33 M urea was used as fuel, O2 as oxidant at 60°C. The effects of temperature and urea concentration on DUFC performance were investigated. Besides, direct urine fuel cell reaches a maximum power density of 0.19 mW cm−2 with an open circuit voltage of 0.38 V at 60°C.
