Abstract
The assessment of blood glucose levels is necessary for the diagnosis and management of diabetes. The accurate quantification of serum or plasma glucose relies on enzymatic and nonenzymatic methods utilizing electrochemical biosensors. Current research efforts are focused on enhancing the non-invasive detection of glucose in sweat with accuracy, high sensitivity, and stability. In this work, nanostructured mesoporous carbon coupled with glucose oxidase (GOx) increased the direct electron transfer to the electrode surface. A mixed alloy of CuNi nanoparticle-coated mesoporous carbon (CuNi-MC) was synthesized using a hydrothermal process followed by annealing at 700 °C under the flow of argon gas. The prepared catalyst's crystal structure and morphology were explored using X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The electrocatalytic activity of the as-prepared catalyst was investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and amperometry. The findings show an excellent response time of 4 s and linear range detection from 0.005 to 0.45 mM with a high electrode sensitivity of 11.7 ± 0.061 mA mM cm-2 in a selective medium.

Abstract
The use of fuel cells is one of the most promising renewable energy strategies, but they still suffer from many limitations. The high mass enthalpy of hydrogen as a fuel comes at the cost of inconveniences and risks associated with storage, transportation and utilization, while the high performance of Pt catalysts in commercial fuel cells is limited by their high cost, low earth abundance, and poor stability as a result of CO intermediate poisoning. To circumvent these dilemmas, direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) were developed, using methanol as a fuel and Ni as the anode catalyst. Thanks to the condensed form of the fuel, DMFCs are considered as the most promising fuel-cell solution for portable electronic devices. Usually, other elements have to be introduced into Ni-based catalysts to modify the active sites to provide better alternatives to pristine Ni metal in terms of activity and stability. In this study, we provide a mild synthetic method for the preparation of CuNi alloy nanoparticles. The proper alloying ratio leads to the suitable modification of the electronic structure of Ni, which promotes the MOR catalytic reaction on the NiCu alloy. The NiCu alloy catalyst exhibits a mass current density of 1028 mA mgmetal-1 for the MOR at 1.55 V (vs. RHE), which is among the best values obtained from similarly prepared Ni-based catalysts.

Abstract
In this work, nickel-cobalt alloy nanoparticles were electrodeposited on/in an electrochemically reduced nitrogen-doped graphene oxide (ErN-GO)/carbon-ceramic electrode (CCE) and the resulting nanocomposite (NiCo/ErN-GO/CCE) was evaluated as a low cost electrocatalyst for methanol and ethanol electrooxidation. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were used for the physical characterization of the electrocatalyst. To study the electrochemical behavior and electrocatalytic activity of the prepared electrocatalyst towards the oxidation of methanol and ethanol in alkaline media, cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were utilized. Electrochemical investigation of the introduced electrocatalysts (NiCo alloy and Ni nanoparticles alone electrodeposited on/in different substrates) indicated that NiCo/ErN-GO/CCE has highest activity and stability towards methanol (J p = 88.04 mA cm-2) and ethanol (J p = 64.23 mA cm-2) electrooxidation, which highlights its potential use as an anodic material in direct alcohol fuel cells.

Abstract
Bimetal catalysts are good alternatives for non-enzymatic glucose sensors owing to their low cost, high activity, good conductivity, and ease of fabrication. In the present study, a self-supported CuNi/C electrode prepared by electrodepositing Cu nanoparticles on a Ni-based metal-organic framework (MOF) derivate was used as a non-enzymatic glucose sensor. The porous construction and carbon scaffold inherited from the Ni-MOF guarantee good kinetics of the electrode process in electrochemical glucose detection. Furthermore, Cu nanoparticles disturb the array structure of MOF derived films and evidently enhance their electrochemical performances in glucose detection. Electrochemical measurements indicate that the CuNi/C electrode possesses a high sensitivity of 17.12 mA mM-1 cm-2, a low detection limit of 66.67 nM, and a wider linearity range from 0.20 to 2.72 mM. Additionally, the electrode exhibits good reusability, reproducibility, and stability, thereby catering to the practical use of glucose sensors. Similar values of glucose concentrations in human blood serum samples are detected with our electrode and with the method involving glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase; the results further demonstrate the practical feasibility of our electrode.

Abstract
The design and development of low-cost Pt-free, high-active, and durable noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for methanol electrooxidation is highly desirable but remains a challenge. Herein, unique Cu/NiCu nanowires (NWs) integrating alloy, core-shell, and one-dimensional structures are prepared by a facile one-pot strategy. It is found that the Ni-Cu surface alloying structure can effectively change the charge distribution of the atomic configuration, the core-shell structure can be optimized with the usage of Ni and Cu, and the one-dimensional structure can effectively enhance the charge transfer between the electrode surface and the active sites, making the prepared NWs promising electrocatalysts. Detailed catalytic investigations showed that the obtained Cu/NiCu NWs exhibit an enhanced electrocatalytic performance for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The optimized Cu/NiCu NWs in this work show a mass current density of 867.1 mA mgmetal-1 at 1.55 V (vs. RHE) for MOR, which is far higher than those of Ni-based previously reported electrocatalysts. This work opens up a new pathway for the design and engineering of noble-metal-free alloy electrocatalysts with enhanced activity and durability.

Abstract
Ni-based bimetallic alloys have superior physiochemical characteristics compared to monometallic Ni. In this study, a new type of low cost bimetallic NimCon (n + m = 4) electrocatalysts with high active surface were synthesized on Ti substrate through a hydrogen evolution assisted electrodeposition method. The as-prepared NimCon were characterized by XRD, EDS, and SEM. It was revealed that the composition, surface morphology, as well as the crystal phase structure of the bimetallic NimCon electrocatalysts were significantly changed with the increased content of cobalt. Electrochemical measurements showed that the bimetallic NimCon catalysts, compared with the monometallic Ni, have superior catalytic activity and stability toward the methanol electrooxidation reaction. Additionally, Ni2Co2 sample presented the highest oxidation current density and the best durability. The mechanism study based on electrochemical experiments and density functional theory based calculations showed that the doping of Co in NimCon can signally improve the surface coverage of the redox species, weaken the CO adsorption, as well as adjust the CH3OH adsorption. Such understanding is of important directive significance to design efficient nonprecious catalysts.

Abstract
Developing electrode materials with both high energy and power densities holds the key for satisfying the urgent demand of energy storage worldwide. In order to realize the fast and efficient transport of ions/electrons and the stable structure during the charge/discharge process, hierarchical porous Fe3O4/graphene nanowires supported by amorphous vanadium oxide matrixes have been rationally synthesized through a facile phase separation process. The porous structure is directly in situ constructed from the FeVO4·1.1H2O@graphene nanowires along with the crystallization of Fe3O4 and the amorphization of vanadium oxide without using any hard templates. The hierarchical porous Fe3O4/VOx/graphene nanowires exhibit a high Coulombic efficiency and outstanding reversible specific capacity (1146 mAh g(-1)). Even at the high current density of 5 A g(-1), the porous nanowires maintain a reversible capacity of ∼500 mAh g(-1). Moreover, the amorphization and conversion reactions between Fe and Fe3O4 of the hierarchical porous Fe3O4/VOx/graphene nanowires were also investigated by in situ X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Our work demonstrates that the amorphous vanadium oxides matrixes supporting hierarchical porous Fe3O4/graphene nanowires are one of the most attractive anodes in energy storage applications.

Abstract
This paper describes the facile solution plasma synthesis of bimetallic nanoparticles, including solid solution alloys (Ni-Cu and Ni-Cr system), eutectic alloys of Sn-Pb, and intermetallic alloys (SnSb and Ni₃Sn), by using metallic alloy wire as the cathode and Pt wire as the anode. In the typical process, the cathode was melted by the local-concentration of current, upon applying a DC voltage between the two electrodes immersed in the electrolyte. The solid solution alloys of Ni-Cu and Ni-Cr prepared in this study have a uniform distribution of composition. On the other hand, the uniformity in the composition of the eutectic Sn-Pb alloy depends on the microstructure of the electrode. The use of quenched electrode with small crystal grains favors the formation of Sn-Pb alloy nanoparticles, in which the Sn-rich and Pb-rich phases coexist in each particle. The formation of intermetallic SnSb and Ni₃Sn alloy nanoparticles is accompanied by the formation of colloidal oxide. These results demonstrate that the solution plasma technique is applicable not only for the synthesis of pure metals but can also be used for the synthesis of various alloy nanoparticles.

Abstract
We report universal approaches for porous nanowires (NWs), and porous NWs with spiral and meshy topologies that have been developed via anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) confined wet-chemical synthesis. Materials such as CuOx, Pd, and Cu NWs are taken as examples for porous NWs and porous NWs with spiral and meshy topologies. Immediate benefits are demonstrated in hydrogen sensors as examples. We observed that hydrogen concentrations as low as 0.2% (v/v) were detected, that critical temperatures of the reverse sensing behavior as low as 239.9 K were measured and that better baseline-stability was confirmed compared with those fabricated with pure Pd NWs. Our approaches are anticipated to work on the synthesis of the porous NWs of other materials that could be obtained via wet-chemistry with potential as candidates for the next generation nanodevices (e.g., gas sensors) and other applications (e.g., catalysts).
