AbstractThis article reports the use of crystalline nickel phosphate/carbon fibres (NiPh/CFs) nanocomposite as an electrode material for pseudocapacitor applications. The NiPh particles are synthesised by a cost-effective one-pot method, which is based on refluxing nickel and phosphate precursors at 90 °C. The crystallinity and structural morpholog...

An efficient synthesis of nitrogen and sulfur co-doped graphene-like carbon sheets from coir pith bio-waste through the mechanical activation method is reported in this study. The structural characterization reveals the presence of a graphene-like carbon sheet, which is uniformly doped with nitrogen and sulfur atoms in a carbon network. The nitroge...

AbstractA novel hybrid nanocomposite based on de-layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) by ionic-liquid (IL, [BMIM]BF4)-assisted exfoliation and graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized via a green, efficient, and high-quality method, which combined liquid-phase stripping method and ion-insertion method. In addition, an electrochemical sensor was developed...

AbstractAptamers are affinity molecules with high specificity, proposed as excellent alternatives to antibodies in targeting and detecting applications due to their smaller size, higher stability, and simplicity of production and modification compared with antibodies. Due to lack of a sensitive and simple method to quantitatively evaluate attachmen...
