Abstract
Sustainable fabrication of flexible hybrid supercapacitor electrodes is extensively investigated during the current era to solve global energy problems. Herein, we used a cost-effective and efficient electrophoretic deposition (EPD) approach to fabricate a hybrid supercapacitor electrode. ZnO/CuO and ZnO/CuO/rGO heterostructure were prepared by sol-gel synthesis route and were electrophoretically deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate as a thin uniform layer using 1 V for 20 min at 50 mV/s. ZnO/CuO and ZnO/CuO/rGO heterostructure coated ITOs were then employed as the working electrode in a three-electrode setup for supercapacitor measurements. The fabricated electrodes have been investigated by Galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) to study their charge storage properties. ZnO/CuO revealed a specific capacitance of 1945 F g-1 at 2 mV/s and 999 F g-1 at 5 A g-1. However, an increased specific capacitance of 2305 F g-1 was measured for ZnO/CuO/rGO heterostructure at 2 mV/s and 1235 F g-1 at 5 A g-1. The lower internal resistance was observed for ZnO/CuO/rGO heterostructure, indicating good conductivity of the electrode material. Thus, the overall results of the current study suggest that EPD-assisted ZnO/CuO/rGO heterostructure hybrid electrode possess a substantial potential for energy storage as a supercapacitor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recordings with tetrodes have proven to be more effective in isolating single neuron spiking activity than with single microwires. However, tetrodes have never been used in humans. We report on the characteristics, safety, compatibility with clinical intracranial recordings in epileptic patients, and performance, of a new type of hybrid electrode equipped with tetrodes. NEW METHOD 240 standard clinical macroelectrodes and 102 hybrid electrodes were implanted in 28 patients. Hybrids (diameter 800 μm) are made of 6 or 9 macro-contacts and 2 or 3 tetrodes (diameter 70-80 μm). RESULTS No clinical complication or adverse event was associated with the hybrids. Impedance and noise of recordings were stable over time. The design enabled multiscale spatial analyses that revealed physiopathological events which were sometimes specific to one tetrode, but could not be recorded on the macro-contacts. After spike sorting, the single-unit yield was similar to other hybrid electrodes and was sometimes as high as >10 neurons per tetrode. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHOD(S) This new hybrid electrode has a smaller diameter than other available hybrid electrodes. It provides novel spatial information due to the configuration of the tetrodes. The single-unit yield appears promising. CONCLUSIONS This new hybrid electrode is safe, easy to use, and works satisfactorily for conducting multi-scale seizure and physiological analyses.

Abstract
In this study, we report the in-situ hydrothermal synthesis of mesoporous nanosheets of cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) on nickel foam graphene (Ni-FG) substrate, obtained via atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (AP-CVD). The produced composite were closely interlinked with Ni-FG, which enhances the synergistic effect between graphene and the metal hydroxide, CoOOH. It is motivating that the synthesized CoOOH on the Ni-FG substrate showed a homogenous coating of well-ordered intersected nanosheets with porous structure. The electrochemical properties of the material as electrode showed a maximum specific capacity of 199mAhg-1 with a capacity retention of 98% after 1000 cycling in a three electrode measurements.
