Porous coral-like Pd/C3N4-C nanocomposites are fabricated by a simple one-pot chemical reduction method. Their electrocatalytic performance is ~50% higher than a carbon-loaded palladium electrocatalyst (Pd/C) in alkaline media. This confirms that the glucose electrooxidation and sensing performance of a Pd/C can be improved by the synergy of graphitic carbon nitride (C3N4), though C3N4 exhibits poor electrical conductivity. Compared to Pd/C, the size of Pd nanoparticles in Pd/C3N4-C decreases. As a result, the activity of Pd/C3N4-C is enhanced due to the higher dispersion and the synergistic effect. Pd/C3N4-C presents a rapid response and high sensitivity to glucose. The sensitivity for glucose sensing at Pd/C3N4-C is 3.3 times that of at Pd/C in the range of 0.001–10 mM. In the lower range of 0.001–1 mM, the sensitivity at Pd/C3N4-C is ~10 times greater than Pd/C.

Gold nanoparticles were synthesized in chitosan suspension by one-pot chemical reduction method without any chemical reducing reagent. In aqueous acidic medium, chitosan exhibits polycationic nature due to protonation of amine groups of each glucosamine repeating units. The adsorption of AuCl4- ions occurs on chitosan through electrostatic attraction and further reduction of Au3+ to Au0 proceeds through a three electron transfer mechanism by oxidation of protonated amine groups of chitosan chain. The change of color from dirty yellow to intense red indicates the formation of gold nanoparticles in chitosan suspension which acts as both reducing and stabilizing agent. Characterization techniques such as UV-VIS, FTIR, Zeta potential measurement, FESEM and TEM were carried out in order to examine the reduction and stabilization phenomena rendered by chitosan.
