Enzyme immobilization is necessary process to improve the bioactivity and stability of biocatalyst. In this study, glucose oxidase (GOx) enzyme was immobilized on plasma-treated fibrous carbon felt as a textile carrier produce heterogeneous catalyst. Genipin, naturally occurring crosslinker, that has less cytotoxicity than conventional crosslinkers, used in process. UV-Vis FTIR spectra confirme...

The video of a growing fullerene within a carbon nanotube, initiated by a tungsten catalyst, provides a dramatic realization of a complex nanoscale process. While there may be many detailed models which can account for this growth, we propose one of the simplest possible models which is consistent with the major observed features of the growth process. In particular, we assume that the fulleren...

A comparison between different carbon-based gas-diffusion air-breathing cathodes for microbial fuel cells (MFCs) is presented in this work. A micro-porous layer (MPL) based on carbon black (CB) and an activated carbon (AC) layer were used as catalysts and applied on different supporting materials, including carbon cloth (CC), carbon felt (CF), and stainless steel (SS) forming cathode electrodes...

Model solutions of bisphenol A (BPA) in 0.050 M Na2SO4 at pH 3.0 have been treated by the electro/Fe2+/persulfate process. The activation 5.0 mM persulfate with 0.20 Fe2+ yielded a mixture sulfate radical anion (SO4?) and OH, although quenching tests revealed prevalence former species as main oxidizing agent. In trials run an IrO2/carbon-felt cell, 98.4% degradation was achieved alongside 61.8%...

Homogeneous, aqueous solutions of the natural compound riboflavin were investigated for their electrocatalytic oxygen to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) reduction performance using cyclic voltammetry and electrolysis. In addition pH dependencies, interestingly choice carbon-based electrode material had a strong impact on performance. Therefore, three materials, glassy carbon, carbon paper (CP), felt e...
