Abstract
In recent years, research has focused on developing materials exhibiting outstanding mechanical, electrical, thermal, catalytic, magnetic and optical properties such as graphene/polymer, graphene/metal nanoparticles and graphene/ceramic nanocomposites. Two-dimensional sp2 hybridized graphene has become a material of choice in research due to the excellent properties it displays electrically, thermally, optically and mechanically. Noble nanomaterials also present special physical and chemical properties and, therefore, they provide model building blocks in modifying nanoscale structures for various applications, ranging from nanomedicine to catalysis and optics. The introduction of noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) (Au, Ag and Pd) into chemically derived graphene is important in opening new avenues for both materials in different fields where they can provide hybrid materials with exceptional performance due to the synergistical result of the specific properties of each of the materials. This review presents the different synthetic procedures for preparing Pt, Ag, Pd and Au NP/graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites.

Abstract
Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are among the most promising portable power supplies because of their unique advantages, including high energy density/mobility of liquid fuels, low working temperature, and low emission of pollutants. Various metal-based anode catalysts have been extensively studied and utilized for the essential methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) due to their superior electrocatalytic performance. At present, especially with the rapid advance of nanotechnology, enormous efforts have been exerted to further enhance the catalytic performance and minimize the use of precious metals. Constructing multicomponent metal-based nanocatalysts with precisely designed structures can achieve this goal by providing highly tunable compositional and structural characteristics, which is promising for the modification and optimization of their related electrochemical properties. The recent advances of metal-based electrocatalytic materials with rationally designed nanostructures and chemistries for MOR in DMFCs are highlighted and summarized herein. The effects of the well-defined nanoarchitectures on the improved electrochemical properties of the catalysts are illustrated. Finally, conclusive perspectives are provided on the opportunities and challenges for further refining the nanostructure of metal-based catalysts and improving electrocatalytic performance, as well as the commercial viability.

Abstract
In this work, a novel molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor based on the amino-functionalized silica nanoparticles was built for the sensitive and selective detection of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The hierarchical porous dendrimer-like silica nanoparticles (HPSNs-NH2) were synthesized by an ethyl ether emulsion method. The selective molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) was prepared on the HPSNs-NH2 modified electrode via electropolymerization by using 2,4-D as the template and o-phenylenediamine (OPD) as the monomer. The porous structure of HPSNs-NH2 reduced the diffusion limitations of the analytes, enhanced the accessibility and increased the surface area of the sensor, while the MIP layer offered the ability to recognize and quantify target 2,4-D by using ferro/ferricyanide as probes. Several significant experimental parameters on the analytical performance of the MIP/HPSNs-NH2 sensor were explored and optimized. Under the optimized condition, the sensor displayed an appreciable selectivity over structurally related compounds and good sensitivity toward 2,4-D. The linear range of 2,4-D detection was from 1.00 × 10-10 to 2.50 × 10-8M and the detection limit was down to 1.17 × 10-11M according to the 3Sa/b criteria. This method has been applied to detect 2,4-D in bean sprout samples with satisfying results.
