Abstract
BACKGROUND Efficient monitoring of glucose concentration in the human body necessitates the utilization of electrochemically active sensing materials in nonenzymatic glucose sensors. However, prevailing limitations such as intricate fabrication processes, lower sensitivity, and instability impede their practical application. Herein, ternary Cu-Co-Ni-S sulfides nanoporous network structure was synthesized on carbon fiber paper (CP) by an ultrafast, facile, and controllable technique through on-step cyclic voltammetry, serving as a superior self-supporting catalytic electrode for the high-performance glucose sensor. RESULTS The direct growth of free-standing Cu-Co-Ni-S on the interconnected three-dimensional (3D) network of CP boosted the active site of the composites, improved ion diffusion kinetics, and significantly promoted the electron transfer rate. The multiple oxidation states and synergistic effects among Co, Ni, Cu, and S further promoted glucose electrooxidation. The well-architected Cu-Co-Ni-S/CP presented exceptional electrocatalytic properties for glucose with satisfied linearity of a broad range from 0.3 to 16,000 μM and high sensitivity of 6829 μA mM- 1 cm- 2. Furthermore, the novel sensor demonstrated excellent selectivity and storage stability, which could successfully evaluate the glucose levels in human serum. Notably, the novel Cu-Co-Ni-S/CP showed favorable biocompatibility, proving its potential for in vivo glucose monitoring. CONCLUSION The proposed 3D hierarchical morphology self-supported electrode sensor, which demonstrates appealing analysis behavior for glucose electrooxidation, holds great promise for the next generation of high-performance glucose sensors.

Moon S. A Planar-Type Micro-Biopsy Tool for a Capsule-Type Endoscope Using a One-Step Nickel Electroplating Process. MICROMACHINES 2023; 14:1900. [PMID: 37893337 PMCID: PMC10609584 DOI: 10.3390/mi14101900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
Millimeter-scale biopsy tools combined with an endoscope instrument have been widely used for minimal invasive surgery and medical diagnosis. Recently, a capsule-type endoscope was developed, which requires micromachining to fabricate micro-scale biopsy tools that have a sharp tip and other complex features, e.g., nanometer-scale end-tip sharpness and a complex scalpel design. However, conventional machining approaches are not cost-effective for mass production and cannot fabricate the micrometer-scale features needed for biopsy tools. Here, we demonstrate an electroplated nickel micro-biopsy tool which features a planar shape and is suitable to be equipped with a capsule-type endoscope. Planar-type micro-biopsy tools are designed, fabricated, and evaluated through in vitro tissue dissection experiments. Various micro-biopsy tools with a long shaft and sharp tip can be easily fabricated using a thick photoresist (SU8) mold via a simple one-step lithography and nickel electroplating process. The characteristics of various micro-biopsy tool design features, including a tip taper angle, different tool geometries, and a cutting scalpel, are evaluated for efficient tissue extraction from mice intestine. These fabricated biopsy tools have shown appropriate strength and sharpness with a sufficient amount of tissue extraction for clinical applications, e.g., cancer tissue biopsy. These micro-scale biopsy tools could be easily integrated with a capsule-type endoscope and conventional forceps.

Abstract
The first report of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) was released in 2003 and was identified as a new member of ionic liquid (IL), involving innovative chemical and physical characteristics. Using green solvent technology concerning economical, practical, and environmental aspects, DESs open the window for sustainable development of nanomaterial fabrication. The DESs assist in different fabrication processes and design nanostructures with specific morphology and properties by tunable reaction conditions. Using DESs in synthesis reactions can reduce the required high temperature and pressure conditions for decreasing energy consumption and the risk of environmental contamination. This review paper provides the recent applications and advances in the design strategy of DESs for the green synthesis of nanomaterials. The strategy and application of DESs in wet-chemical processes, nanosize reticular material fabrication, electrodeposition/electrochemical synthesis of nanostructures, electroless deposition, DESs based nano-catalytic and nanofluidic systems are discussed and highlighted in this review.

Abstract
Cu coatings were deposited on acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) substrates by DC magnetron sputtering with Cu target. Cr ions generated by arc evaporation were used to bombard the ABS substrates before the Cu coating process. The influences of the Cr ion bombardment on the surface topography and chemical bonds of the ABS substrates and the adhesion of the Cu coatings on the ABS substrate were studied using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and micro-Scratch Tester as a function of bias voltage and treatment duration. The results show that the Cr ion bombardment causes Cr particles to embed in the surface. The Cr particles can interlock with the Cu coatings and ABS substrate and significantly improve the coating adhesion. In addition, the Cr particles can act as the nucleation sites of the Cu coatings and facilitate the growth of columnar crystals. Increasing the duration of Cr ion bombardment increases the number of Cr particles and, thus, enhances the adhesion. However, the continuous bombardment results in the degeneration of the ABS surface, causing the formation of the coarse columnar structure of the Cu coatings. Increasing the bias voltage can increase the energy of the Cr particles without causing degeneration of the ABS. The Cu coating deposited on the ABS substrate treated by Cr ion with high-bias voltage and short duration shows a dense and smooth growth structure. In contrast, the bombardment of the Cr ions carried out at high-bias voltage induces the formation of an interfacial layer (amorphous carbon-rich phase) in the ABS surface, which decreases the coating adhesion. It is believed that Cu coatings with strong adhesion and dense structures could be acquired on ABS substrates by optimizing the bias voltage and duration of the Cr ion bombardment pre-treatment.

Abstract
Pure nickel microstructures have been widely used in MEMS and have great application potential as a sacrificial mandrel for fabricating terahertz micro-cavity components. The performance of MEMS and terahertz micro-cavity components can be significantly improved through the use of high-quality pure nickel microstructures. Up to now, microfabrication techniques, such as laser micromachining, wire electrical-discharge machining, and cold-spray additive manufacturing, have been used to machine various types of such microstructures. However, huge challenges are involved in using these micromachining techniques to fabricate pure-nickel microstructures with controllable size and good dimensional accuracy, surface roughness, and edge radius. In this paper, taking the example of a pure-nickel rectangular mandrel that corresponds to the size of the end face of a 1.7-THz rectangular waveguide cavity, the machining processes for the electrochemical deposition of pure-nickel microstructures with controllable size, high dimensional accuracy, and good surface roughness and edge radius are discussed systematically. This proposed method can be used to manufacture various types of high-quality pure-nickel microstructures.

Abstract
The influence of bath hydrodynamics on the resultant micromechanical properties of electrodeposited nickel-cobalt alloy system is investigated. The bath hydrodynamics realized by magnetic stirring is simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics and a region of minimum variation in velocity within the electrolytic cell is determined and validated experimentally. Nickel-cobalt alloy and nickel coating samples are deposited galvanostatically (50 mA/cm2) with varying bath velocity (0 to 42 cm/s). The surface morphology of samples gradually changed from granular (fractal dimension 2.97) to more planar (fractal dimension 2.15) growth type, and the according average roughness decreased from 207.5 nm to 11 nm on increasing the electrolyte velocity from 0 to 42 cm/s for nickel-cobalt alloys; a similar trend was also found in the case of nickel coatings. The calculated grain size from the X-ray diffractograms decreased from 31 nm to 12 nm and from 69 nm to 26 nm as function of increasing velocity (up to 42 cm/s) for nickel-cobalt and nickel coatings, respectively. Consecutively, the measured Vickers microhardness values increased by 43% (i.e., from 393 HV0.01 to 692 HV0.01) and by 33% (i.e., from 255 HV0.01 to 381 HV0.01) for nickel-cobalt and nickel coatings, respectively, which fits well with the Hall–Petch relation.

Abstract
In this study, a grit-blasting pretreatment was used to improve the adhesion, corrosion resistance and microhardness of Ni-W/SiC nanocomposite coatings fabricated using the conventional electrodeposition technique. Prior to deposition, grit blasting and polishing (more commonly used) pretreatments were used to prepare the surface of the substrate and the 3D morphology of the pretreated substrates was characterized using laser scanning confocal microscopy. The coating surface and the cross-section morphology were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chemical composition, crystalline structure, microhardness, adhesion and corrosion behavior of the deposited coatings were characterized using energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), a microhardness tester, a scratch tester and an electrochemical workstation, respectively. The results indicated that the grit blasting and SiC addition improved the microhardness, adhesion and corrosion resistance. The Ni-W/SiC nanocomposites pretreated by grit blasting exhibited the best adhesion strength, up to 36.5 ± 0.75 N. Its hardness was the highest and increased up to 673 ± 5.47 Hv and its corrosion resistance was the highest compared to the one pretreated by polishing.

Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Co-Electrodeposited Particulate-Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites: A Critical Review with Interfacial Aspects. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 14:3181.

Abstract
Particulate-reinforced metal matrix composites (PRMMCs) with excellent tribo-mechanical properties are important engineering materials and have attracted constant scientific interest over the years. Among the various fabrication methods used, co-electrodeposition (CED) is valued due to its efficiency, accuracy, and affordability. However, the way this easy-to-perform process is carried out is inconsistent, with researchers using different methods for volume fraction measurement and tribo-mechanical testing, as well as failing to carry out proper interface characterization. The main contribution of this work lies in its determination of the gaps in the tribo-mechanical research of CED PRMMCs. For mechanical properties, hardness is described with respect to measurement methods, models, and experiments concerning CED PRMMCs. The tribology of such composites is described, taking into account the reinforcement volume fraction, size, and composite fabrication route (direct/pulsed current). Interfacial aspects are discussed using experimental direct strength measurements. Each part includes a critical overview, and future prospects are anticipated. This review paper provides an overview of the tribo-mechanical parameters of Ni-based co-electrodeposited particulate-reinforced metal matrix composite coatings with an interfacial viewpoint and a focus on hardness, wear, and friction behavior.

Fabrication of Ni–Co–P Alloy Coatings Using Jet Electrodeposition with Varying Reciprocating Sweep Speeds and Jet Gaps to Improve Wear and Seawater Corrosion Resistance. COATINGS 2020.

Abstract
Type 45 steel substrate surfaces were coated with Ni–Co–P alloy coatings using jet electrodeposition in varying reciprocating sweep speed and jet gap to improve the wear and seawater polarization resistance of the substrate surface. The properties of the deposited coatings were analyzed and characterized. The results showed that the morphologies of the cross-section, thickness, and chemical composition of coatings were affected by reciprocating sweep speed and jet gap variation. At a reciprocating sweep speed of 175 mm·s−1 coupled with a jet gap of 2.0 mm, the content of Co element in the deposit attained the highest value of 47.66 wt.%. Reciprocating sweep speed and jet gap variation exhibited no significant influence on either the phase structure or the peak intensities of deposited Ni–Co–P coatings, but an obvious preferred orientation was evident in the (111) plane. Further increase in reciprocating sweep speed and jet gap caused an initial increase in the microhardness of Ni–Co–P alloy coatings followed by a decrease, where the highest value attained was 635 HV0.1. At a jet gap of 2.0 mm and a reciprocating sweep speed of 175 mm·s−1, Ni–Co–P alloy coatings reached a minimum wear scar width value of 460 µm. Electrochemical tests showed that the seawater corrosion resistance of coatings exhibited an observable change with increased reciprocating sweep speed and jet gap. The Ni–Co–P alloy coatings exhibited the highest polarization resistance (Rp) of 28.32 kΩ·cm−2 when the reciprocating sweep speed was 175 mm·s−1 and the jet gap was 2.0 mm, which indicated that the coatings had better seawater corrosion resistance.
