Article Abstract
In the present work, exfoliated graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) is immobilized on carbon paper substrates by a simple electrophoretic route, and subsequently decorated with ultra-low amounts (≈μg/cm) of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) by cold plasma sputtering. Optimization of preparative conditions allowed a fine tuning of Pt NPs size, loading and distribution and thus a controlled tailoring of g-CN/Pt interfacial interactions. Modulation of such features yielded g-CN-Pt-based anode materials with appealing activity and stability towards the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in alkaline aqueous solutions, as revealed by electrochemical tests both in the dark and under irradiation. The present results provide new insights on the design of nano-engineered heterocomposites featuring improved performances thanks to Pt coupling with g-CN, a low-cost and environmentally friendly visible light-active semiconductor. Overall, this work might open attractive avenues for the generation of green hydrogen via aqueous ethanol electrolysis and the photo-promoted alcohol electrooxidation in fuel cells.

Mesoporous carbon materials were synthesized by using sucrose as a carbon source and hydrophilic Aerosil 380 as a hard template. A two-stage optimization process based on the response surface methodology using a central composite design (RSM-CCD) was employed to enhance the adsorption performance of the material for the crystal violet (CV) dye. The first stage of optimization yielded a maximum adsorption capacity of 155.

For photodetection applications using 3D hybrid perovskites (HPs), dense and thick films or compacted powders in wafer form are needed and generally require large amounts of HPs. HPs are also often combined with a graphene/carbon layer to improve their conductivity. Among HP synthesis methods, mechanosynthesis, a green synthesis method, provides a large amount of powders, which are furthermore easily densified in compact wafers due to their mechanical activation.

Molecular recognition and determination of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and natriuretic peptide C-type (NPPC) are essential for the early prognosis and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, especially in young obese populations. Highly sensitive and selective devices characterized by low Limits of quantification are required for their determination in whole blood. Therefore, a 3D stochastic sensor was developed by immobilizing a chitosan hydrogel onto a carbon paste electrode (used as the support matrix for the hydrogel), which was subsequently modified with gold nanoparticles, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD/AuNPs@MWCNT/CS/CPE).

Precise control of particle size, pore size distribution, and carbon layer spacing under green and low-energy conditions is critical for developing advanced carbon electrodes for supercapacitors and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, we proposed a new strategy to prepare an MgAl bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF) via a pre-ionization strategy, effectively avoiding harsh conditions and using organic solvents in hydrothermal synthesis. By fine-tuning the Mg/Al ratio and pyrolysis conditions, the particle size, pore size distribution and carbon layer spacing of rod porous carbon (RPC) were precisely adjusted.

Iron-carbon materials have emerged as promising heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts for the removal of emerging organic contaminants. However, their practical applications are substantially hindered by complex preparation procedures and irreversible deactivation of iron centers. Herein, a novel double-layer core-shell catalyst Fe@FeC@Graphite (Fe-CTS-3000) is one-step synthesized by a high-temperature carbothermal shock (CTS) strategy.
