The electrochemical behavior of a film single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) functionalized with carboxylic acid groups was studied extensively on glassy (GC) electrode. One stable couple corresponding to the redox group, which supported by XPS and IR experiments, observed. electrode process involved four electrons, while rate-determining step one-electron reduction. SWNT film-modified showed favorable electrocatalytic toward oxidation biomolecules such as dopamine, epinephrine, ascorbic acid.

Few-layered graphene sheets, synthesized by direct current arc-discharge method using NH3 as one of the buffer gases, were dispersed in chitosan/acetic acid solutions. FTIR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed presence oxygen-containing functional groups on surface sheets that may assist good dispersion chitosan solution. Graphene/chitosan films produced solution casting method. The mechanical properties composite tested nanoindentation With addition a small amount (0.1−0.3 wt %),...
Thanks to nitrogen introduced into the layered carbon framework of graphite, chemical reactivity atoms was increased. N-doped graphitic catalysts generate reactive oxygen species and display excellent activity for hydrocarbon activation even at room temperature. As a service our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by authors. Such materials are peer reviewed may be re-organized online delivery, but not copy-edited or typeset. Technical support issues...
Carbon nanotubes are promising for use in biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. Therefore, it becomes imperative to know the basic biological properties of carbon vivo. We labeled water-soluble hydroxylated single-wall with radioactive 125I atoms, then tracer was used study distribution mice. They moved easily among compartments tissues body, behaving as small active molecules though their apparent mean molecular weight is tremendously large. This study, first time, affords a quantitative...
We provide a wet chemical approach for organizing randomly tangled single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) on gold surfaces. The as-grown were first chemically cut into short pipes and thiol-derivatized at the open ends. ordered assembly of SWCNTs was made by their spontaneous adsorption to via Au−S bonds. Tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) images clearly show that have been organized gold, forming self-assembled monolayer structure with perpendicular orientation. kinetics very slow...
Polydopamine is not only a multifunctional biopolymer with promising optoelectronic properties but it also versatile coating platform for different surfaces. The structure and formation of polydopamine an active area research. Some studies have supposed that composed covalently bonded dihydroxyindole, indoledione, dopamine units, others proposed noncovalent self-assembly contributes to as well. However, difficult directly find the details supramolecular via self-assembly. In this study, we...

We believe that by optimizing hole density uniforming thickness of graphene anode, remarkably increased in future.
An anisotropic high-spin qubit with long coherence time could scale the quantum system up. It has been proposed that Grover's algorithm can be implemented in such systems.
