Abstract
Developing thin, freestanding electrodes that work simultaneously as a current collector and electroactive material is pivotal to integrating portable and wearable chemical sensors. Herein, we have synthesized graphene/Prussian blue (PB) electrodes for hydrogen peroxide detection (H2O2) using a two-step method. First, an reduced graphene oxide/PAni/Fe2O3 freestanding film is prepared using a doctor blade technique, followed by the electrochemical deposition of PB nanoparticles over the films. The iron oxide nanoparticles work as the iron source for the heterogeneous electrochemical deposition of the nanoparticles in a ferricyanide solution. The size of the PB cubes electrodeposited over the graphene-based electrodes was controlled by the number of voltammetric cycles. For H2O2 sensing, the PB10 electrode achieved the lowest detection and quantification limits, 2.00 and 7.00 μM, respectively. The findings herein evidence the balance between the structure of the graphene/PB-based electrodes with the electrochemical performance for H2O2 detection and pave the path for developing new freestanding electrodes for chemical sensors.

Abstract
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS) were employed to characterize the electronic properties of Prussian blue (PB) and its analogs when electrodeposited over metal-decorated carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Through an investigation of the influence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and preparation conditions on the electronic structure, valuable insights were obtained regarding their effects on electrochemical properties. XPS analysis enabled the probing of the chemical composition and oxidation states of the film materials, unveiling synthesis-driven variations in their electronic properties. REELS provided information on energy loss and electronic transitions, enabling further characterization of the changes in the electronic structure induced by different preparation methods. Such findings emphasize the importance of surface characterization to understand how the unique electronic properties of such materials can be harnessed to enhance their performance and functionality.

Abstract
Thin film technology is pervasive for many fields with high impact in our daily lives, which makes processing materials such as thin films a very important subject in materials science and technology. However, several paramount materials cannot be prepared as thin films through the well-known and consolidated deposition routes, which strongly limits their applicability. This is particularly noticeable for multi-component and complex nanocomposites, which present unique properties due to the synergic effect between the components, but have several limitations to be obtained as thin films, mainly if homogeneity and transparence are required. This review highlights the main advances of a novel approach to both process and synthesize different classes of materials as thin films, based on liquid/liquid interfaces. The so-called liquid/liquid interfacial route (LLIR) allows the deposition of thin films of single- or multi-component materials, easily transferable over any kind of substrate (plastics and flexible substrates included) with precise control of the thickness, homogeneity and transparence. More interesting, it allows the in situ synthesis of multi-component materials directly as thin films stabilized at the liquid/liquid interface, in which problems related to both the synthesis and processing are solved together in a single step. This review presents the basis of the LLIR and several examples of thin films obtained from different classes of materials, such as carbon nanostructures, metal and oxide nanoparticles, two-dimensional materials, organic and organometallic frameworks, and polymer-based nanocomposites, among others. Moreover, specific applications of those films in different technological fields are shown, taking advantage of the specific properties emerging from the unique preparation route.

Abstract
A dual-sensing platform is proposed based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes/Prussian blue-functionalized polypyrrole nanowire array (PPY/MWCNTs/PB). Highly aligned PPY nanowire arrays were electrochemically prepared on the surface of glassy carbon electrodes, which were doped with MWCNTs/PB nanocomposites. The nanomaterial combines the characteristics of the PPY nanowires (high conductivity and large specific surface area) and MWCNTs/PB (excellent catalytic performance and intrinsic redox activity). Owing to the nanowire microstructure and outstanding electrical properties, the PPY/MWCNTs/PB nanowire arrays show excellent electrocatalysis of the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and facilitate the construction of a high-performance biosensing platform for microRNA (miRNA). A linear relationship between analytical signal and concentration of hydrogen peroxide and miRNA was obtained in the range 5 to 503 µM (1.4-5.1 mM) and 0.1 pM to 1 nM, and detection limits of 1.7 μM and 33.4 fM, respectively. This new supersensitive sensing platform has broad application prospects of biomolecule and other analyte determination in drug, biomedical, plant protection, and environmental analysis. Prussian blue/multi-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized polypyrrole nanowire arrays (PPY/MWCNTs/PB) were prepared by a facile one-step electrochemical method. PPY/MWCNTs/PB nanowire arrays show excellent electrocatalysis of the reduction of H2O2 and facilitate the construction of a high-performance biosensing platform for microRNA.

Abstract
Most of the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) developed so far use organic electrolytes and water-sensible sensitizers. The search for aqueous DSSCs, a promising technology for solar-energy conversion, implies finding materials that are stable in aqueous solution. In this study, Prussian blue (PB) was utilized as an innovative sensitizer in a photoanode for DSSCs and a novel synthetic approach to a carbon nanotubes/TiO2 /PB nanocomposite thin film was developed. The photoresponse was evaluated in a total aqueous electrolyte, and photocurrents of 600 μA cm-2 were achieved.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical non-enzymatic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor has been developed based on Prussian blue (PB) and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO). The GO was covalently modified on glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and utilized as a directing platform for in-situ synthesis of electroactive PB. Then the GO was electrochemically treated to reduction form to improve the effective surface area and electroactivity of the sensing interface. The fabrication process was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results showed that the rich oxygen containing groups play a crucial role for the successful synthesis of PB, and the obtained PB layer on the covalently immobilized GO has good stability. Electrochemical sensing assay showed that the modified electrode had tremendous electrocatalytic property for the reduction of H2O2. The steady-state current response increased linearly with H2O2 concentrations from 5μM to 1mM with a fast response time (less than 3s). The detection limit was estimated to be 0.8μM. When the sensor was applied for determination of H2O2 released from living cells of macrophages, satisfactory results were achieved.
