Carbon nanotubes were unzipped to become reduced-graphene nanoribbons via one-step solvothermal process in a Teflon-lined autoclave. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermo-gravimetric analysis and transmission electrical microscopy, respectively. Results showed that the solvothermal reaction temperature played an important role in the structure of the samples. When it was 75 °C, carbon nanotubes were completely cutted into graphene oxide nanoribbons. Moreover, when it was 155 °C, they were become reduced-graphene nanoribbons. Furthermore, the as-prepared reduced-graphene nanoribbons could improve mechanical strength of the phenolic resin/hollow glass beads foamed composites. When the reduced-graphene nanoribbons loading was 0.4 wt%, the tensile and compressive strength of the composites were increased by 19.7% and 21.3%, respectively.

The development of anode materials for lithium-ion batteries must meet the demands for high safety, high energy density, and fast-charging performance. TiNbO is notable for its high theoretical specific capacity, low structural strain, and exceptional fast-charging capability, attributed to its Wadsley-Roth crystal structure. However, its inherently poor conductivity has hindered its practical application.

This review article compiled previous reports in the fabrication of hydroquinone (HQ) electrochemical sensors using differently modified electrodes. The electrode materials, which are also called electrocatalysts, play a crucial role in electrochemical detection of biomolecules and toxic substances. Metal oxides, MXenes, carbon-based materials such as reduced graphene oxide (rGO), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), layered double hydroxides (LDH), metal sulfides, and hybrid composites were extensively utilized in the fabrication of HQ sensors.

Two bioelectrocatalytic systems for lactate oxidation were developed by immobilizing lactate oxidase (LOx) onto nanostructured carbon-based platforms: 4-(pyrrole-1-yl)benzoic acid modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT/PyBA) and a hybrid system combining electrochemically reduced graphene oxide with MWCNT/PyBA (ERGO/MWCNT/PyBA). The modification of MWCNT with PyBA enhanced electron transfer between the enzyme's active site and the electrode surface, while the ERGO/MWCNT/PyBA hybrid, prepared via non-covalent π-π stacking interactions, provided improved conductivity and electrocatalytic performance. Both systems exhibited well-defined, reversible FMN/FMNH₂ redox peaks with formal potentials of -0.
