The determination of homocysteine (HCys) has garnered significant interest within the biomedical community in recent years, as it serves as a key biomarker for a variety of diseases. Disruptions in HCys metabolism can lead to elevated blood levels of HCys, which are associated with cardiovascular diseases, Parkinson's disease, and etc. Therefore, the sensitive analysis of HCys levels in biological samples is crucial. An electrochemical method has been successfully developed for the sensitive detection of HCys using carbon paste electrodes (CPE) modified with ZnS nanowires/reduced graphene oxide sheets (ZnS NWs/rGO) nanocomposite and ferrocene monocarboxylic acid (FMC). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) results demonstrate that ZnS NWs/rGO exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of HCys at a low potential of 380 mV versus Ag/AgCl. These analytical properties, combined with the low operational potential, facilitate a reliable and sensitive determination of HCys, showing a good dynamic linearity in the range (LDR) of (0.01-10.0 µM and 10.0-90.0 µM) and a detection limit (LOD) of 0.003 µM.

This study presents a straightforward and rapid method for preparing graphene aerogel by integrating a sodium alginate (SA)-metal ion crosslinking system, a bubble template, and an osmotic dehydration process. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were dispersed into the solution crosslinked by SA and metal ions, leading to rapid gelation of GO under ambient conditions. To minimize structural damage to the porous network caused by water molecules during the drying process, an osmotic dehydration technique was employed as an auxiliary drying method.

The rapid increase in population has driven the demand for fossil fuel energy, contributing to increased carbon emissions that ultimately accelerate global warming and climate change. Battery storage systems have many advantages over conventional energy sources. However, they face limitations such as energy storage, cost, and environmental hazards that come with the use of chemical binders.

In this study, a MoC-MoO@NCrGO-900 composite catalyst comprising two-dimensional nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (NCrGO) and ultrasmall molybdenum carbide-molybdenum dioxide (MoC-MoO) heterojunctions was synthesized. The optimized catalyst exhibited an outstanding oxidative desulfurization (ODS) performance. Specifically, a model oil containing 4000 ppm sulfur was completely desulfurized within 30 min, with a desulfurization efficiency of 98.
