The effects of ionic liquids (ILs) on the catalytic activity of enzymes were studied by approaches of electrochemistry and quantum chemistry calculation in this work. Three types of ILs, namely, [bmpyri]BF(4), [bmpyrro]BF(4), and [bmim]BF(4), were selected to address the effects of different types of ILs on the electrocatalytic activity of glucose oxidase (GOx) toward the oxidation of glucose. ...

In this work, a networked MoS2/CNT nanocomposite has been synthesized by a facile solvothermal method. The as-prepared sample exhibits high catalytic activity for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Electrocatalysis using low-cost materials is a promising, economical strategy for remediation of water contaminated with organic chemicals and microorganisms. Here, we report the use iron phosphide (Fe2P) precatalyst electrocatalytic oxidation; degradation representative aromatic hydrocarbon, dye rhodamine B (RhB); inactivation Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. It was found that during anodi...

We report a planar nickel complex coordinated with a pincer-type carbene-pyridine-carbene ligand which exhibits high selectivity for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction in the presence of H2O.

We report on the enhancement of the electrocatalytic activity of Au nanoparticles after NaBH4 treatment and its application to H2O2 detection.

Photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) water treatment is a promising technology for organic pollution abatement. Much of the prior research focused on material discovery and optimization. However, challenges exist in scaling-up PEC processes are associated with designing reactors effective light irradiation electrode surfaces and, simultaneously, efficient configurations. We design demonstrate key reacto...

The principal purpose of this study is to present a new design for preparing highly active immobilized gold nanoparticle-based plasmonic photocatalysts. Gold nanoparticles were loaded on rutile TiO2 particles with a mean size of 80 nm (Au/TiO2) by the deposition precipitation method. The surface of SnO2 particles with a mean size of 100 nm was modified by copper(ii) oxide clusters (CuO/SnO2) wi...

A novel chemically modified electrode containing Prussian blue complex was achieved on the surface of glass carbon electrode by sol-gel technique. The electrochemical behavior of modified electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry in detail. The film electrode obtained was very stable and exhibited electrocatalytic response for oxidation of nitrite. Results showed at bare GC electrode, a...
