Nano-composite of Co3O4 and Cu with enhanced stability and catalytic performance for non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensors

A non-enzymatic glucose sensor (Co₃O₄–CuNPs/Pt) was successfully constructed by a dropping method and a potentiostatic deposition technology. This sensor was used successfully for the quantitative analysis of trace glucose in serum sample.

Self-template synthesis of hollow ellipsoid Ni–Mn sulfides for supercapacitors, electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose and water treatment

Hollow ellipsoid Ni–Mn sulfides have been successfully synthesized via a simple self-template method and exhibited good performance in supercapacitors, electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose and water treatment.

Applications of hierarchically structured porous materials from energy storage and conversion, catalysis, photocatalysis, adsorption, separation, and sensing to biomedicine

A comprehensive review of the recent progress in the applications of hierarchically structured porous materials is given.

Comparison of NiS2 and α-NiS hollow spheres for supercapacitors, non-enzymatic glucose sensors and water treatment

NiS₂ and α-NiS hollow spheres are prepared via a template-free method. When NiS₂ and α-NiS hollow spheres were evaluated for supercapacitors, glucose sensors and water treatment, it was found that the hollow α-NiS spheres exhibited better performance than the NiS₂.
