Unique Fe and N co-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes are designed to efficiently catalyze the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The preparation processes involve surface functionalization, subsequent wet impregnation and final thermal fixation of Fe-Nx species. The catalyst achieved outstanding alkaline ORR performance with a very positive half-wave potential (∼0.91 V). Theoretical calculations show that the carbon layer below the active Fe-Nx sites is beneficial to the ORR.

Exploring new electrode structures and co-doped composite biomass material electrodes is considered to be an effective way of developing cheap, efficient carbon-based supercapacitors. A bamboo-based sandwich-structured matrix was prepared from thin bamboo veneer and bamboo fiber by pretreatment with HPO and Co-catalyzed graphitization. The pore structure was modulated by hydrothermal activation with NaOH and electrodeposition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to obtain CNTs modified, Co/P co-doped sandwich-structured woodceramics electrode (CNT@Co/P).

Non-specific binding in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) remains a challenge in foodborne pathogen detection, resulting in interference of high background signals. Herein, we innovatively reported a dual-mode FRET sensor based on a "noise purifier" for the ultrasensitive quantification of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in food. An efficient FRET system was constructed with polymyxin B-modified nitrogen-sulfur co-doped graphene quantum dots (N, S-GQDs@PMB) as donors and aptamer-modified yellow carbon dots (Y-CDs@Apt) as acceptors.

Ultra-high energy density battery-type materials are promising candidates for supercapacitors (SCs); however, slow ion kinetics and significant volume expansion remain major barriers to their practical applications. To address these issues, hierarchical lattice distorted α-/γ-MnS@Co S core-shell heterostructure constrained in the sulphur (S), nitrogen (N) co-doped carbon (C) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived nanosheets (α-/γ-MnS@Co S @N, SC) have been developed. The coordination bonding among Co S , and α-/γ-MnS nanoparticles at the interfaces and the π-π stacking interactions developed across α-/γ-MnS@Co S and N, SC restrict volume expansion during cycling.

In this study, the combined effect of graphene oxide (GO) and oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (OMWCNTs) on material properties of the magnesium oxychloride (MOC) phase 5 was analyzed. The selected carbon-based nanoadditives were used in small content in order to obtain higher values of mechanical parameters and higher water resistance while maintaining acceptable price of the final composites. Two sets of samples containing either 0.
