Oxidation Of Glucose

A novel nickel nanocomposite electrode supported by 3D ordered silicon microchannel plates (MCP) had been reported and its electrocatalytic toward the oxidation of glucose for sensor had been studied. The 3D ordered Si MCP electrodes were first fabricated by electrochemical etching and then Nickel nanoparticles were deposited onto the sidewall of the MCP via electroless deposition followed by annealing at 300°C for 300 s under argon to stabilize the structure. The morphology of the Ni/Si-MCP electrode was characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrochemical methods were employed to investigate the Ni/Si-MCP materials. The Ni/Si-MCP nanocomposites exhibit superior electrocatalytic properties towards glucose electro-oxidation in alkaline solutions, in addition to showing excellent long-term stability and good reproducibility.

Oxidation Of Glucose

A given amount of gold is electrodeposited on the reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/glassy carbon (GC) electrodes to form Au /RGO/GC electrodes, which are carried out at different potentials. The Au /RGO/GC electrode with Au loading of 250 μg cm-2 prepared at a constant potential of -0.30 V exhibits the best electrocatalytic activity to glucose oxidation in alkaline solutions because of homogeneous dispersion of gold nanoparticles with smaller sizes. This electrode shows long-term stability, rapid charge transfer ability, and higher current density compared to other gold electrodes reported previously.

High-resolution X-ray diffraction techniques have been employed successfully to evaluate crystalline quality and long-term stability of coiled membranes. The process of fabrication involves photolithography, implantation by 2 MeV N^{2+} ions inn-type GaAs substrates, followed by selective etching. A five-crystal X-ray diffractometer was employed in (+, −, +) setting with an Mo Kα1exploring beam for high-resolution X-ray diffractometry and topography experiments. The exploring-beam width was reduced to illuminate different segments of the coiled membrane. Diffraction curves recorded from the bulk crystal surrounding the sensor had a half width of 26 arcseconds, whereas the half widths from sensor segments were in the range ∼58 to ∼166 arcseconds. Different segments (particularly vertical ones) were identified from the observed angular separations between different diffraction peaks as well as from the shape of the diffraction peaks. It was found that different segments of the sensor were tilted with respect to one another and the tilt angles were in the range 15–212 arcseconds. High-resolution X-ray diffraction topographs recorded from (5\bar 11) and (400) diffracting planes revealed that the sides of the trough below the membrane created by etching are not vertical, but tapered. Also, there is a thin strip of crystal freely hanging over the tapered regions as a result of underetching. The surface of the cavity is uneven. The structural perfection of different membrane segments could also be ascertained from the contrast in topographs.

ABSTRACTDurability and long-term stability of cements in plasters, mortars, and/or concretes utilized as borehole plugging and shaft sealing materials are of present concern in the national effort to isolate nuclear waste within deep geological repositories. The present study consists of an examination of selected ancient building materials and provides insights into the durability of certain ancient structures. These data were combined with knowledge obtained from the behavior of modern portland cements and natural materials to evaluate the potential for longevity of such materials in a borehole environment. Analyses were conducted by petrographic, SEM, chemical, and x-ray diffraction techniques.

B2 Structure

The structural and electrochemical properties of the Ti–Ru–Fe–O system have been studied over the whole ternary metal compositional range, keeping constant the oxygen content at 30 at.%. The phase diagram was explored systematically by varying the composition of the material along one of the following axes: (i) constant Ru content of 16 at. %; (ii) constant Ti/Ru ratio of 2; (iii) constant Ti/Fe ratio of 1.6. For O/Ti ratios equal or below unity, the most prominent peaks observed in the x-ray diffraction patterns belong to a B2 structure. For O/Ti ratio larger than unity, stable titanium oxide phases are formed, which coexist with a cubic Fe-like or hcp-Ru like phases depending on the Fe/Ru ratio. Powder compositions with stoichiometry close to Ti2RuFeO2 are of interest due to good electrocatalytic properties, long-term stability, and low Ru content.

Au nanoparticles anchored on core–shell [Formula: see text]-Fe2O3@SnO2 nanospindles were successfully constructed through hydrothermal synthesis process and used for fabricating a novel nonenzymatic dopamine (DA) sensor. The structure and morphology of the Au/[Formula: see text]-Fe2O3@SnO2 trilaminar nanohybrid film were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrochemical properties of the sensor were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The experimental results suggest that the composites have excellent catalytic property toward DA with a wide linear range from 0.5[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M to 0.47[Formula: see text]mM, a low detection limit of 0.17[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M (S/[Formula: see text]) and high sensitivity of 397.1[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]A[Formula: see text]mM[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text]. In addition, the sensor exhibits long-term stability, good reproducibility and anti-interference.

Different Characteristics

Abstract Four phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenases (designated as FeaB or StyD) originating from styrene-degrading soil bacteria were biochemically investigated. In this study, we focused on the Michaelis-Menten kinetics towards the presumed native substrate phenylacetaldehyde and the obviously preferred co-substrate NAD+. Furthermore, the substrate specificity on four substituted phenylacetaldehydes and the co-substrate preference were studied. Moreover, these enzymes were characterized with respect to their temperature as well as long-term stability. Since aldehyde dehydrogenases are known to show often dehydrogenase as well as esterase activity, we tested this capacity, too. Almost all results showed clearly different characteristics between the FeaB and StyD enzymes. Furthermore, FeaB from Sphingopyxis fribergensis Kp5.2 turned out to be the most active enzyme with an apparent specific activity of 17.8 ± 2.1 U mg-1. Compared with that, both StyDs showed only activities less than 0.2 U mg-1 except the overwhelming esterase activity of StyD-CWB2 (1.4 ± 0.1 U mg-1). The clustering of both FeaB and StyD enzymes with respect to their characteristics could also be mirrored in the phylogenetic analysis of twelve dehydrogenases originating from different soil bacteria.
