ABSTRACTThe emergence of 2-dimensional (2D) materials could herald numerous advanced scientific methodologies for both fundamental and applied research. These ultrathin materials can be functionalized and, thus, have the potential to make new devices and sensors that are both highly efficient and sensitive. In addition to being mechanically robust, the 2D materials can be engineered to provide sensor architectures that further increase their inherent high surface area by creating 3D geometries using layer by layer assembly to make stacked devices that could potentially be transparent. The increased sensor surface area would deliver increased signal-to-noise and sensitivity. Here highly sensitive and selective electrochemical detection of bio-analytes using some of engineered 2D materials such as graphene nano-ribbons, fluorinated graphene, and molybdenum disulfide is presented. It is found that surface moieties, defects and surface charges in these ultra-thin layers result in enhanced electron transfer kinetics between the electrodes and biomolecules. This in turn results in an oxidation or reduction of biomolecules with a high peak current, indicating the possible uses of 2D materials for various point-of-care devices. A novel stable 3D electrode geometry has been found to have enhanced heterogeneous electron transfer properties compared to 2D electrodes and provides evidence that electrode geometry and surface area could significantly impact the performance of biosensors.

<p>This study evaluated the performance of the commonly used strong buffer electrolytes, i.e. phosphate buffers, during CO<sub>2</sub> electroreduction in neutral pH conditions by using in-situ surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS). Unfortunately, the buffers break down a lot faster than anticipated which has serious implications on many studies in the literature such as selectivity and kinetic analysis of the electrocatalysts. Increasing electrolyte concentration, surprisingly, did not extend the potential window of the phosphate buffers due to dramatic increase in hydrogen evolution reaction. Even high concentration phosphate buffers (1 M) break down within the potentials (-1 V vs RHE) where hydrocarbons are formed on copper electrodes. We have extended the discussion to high surface area electrodes by evaluating electrodes composed of copper nanowires. We would like highlight that it is not possible to cope with high local current densities on these high surface area electrodes by using high buffer capacity solutions and the CO<sub>2</sub> electrocatalysts are needed to be evaluated by casting thin nanoparticle films onto inert substrates as commonly employed in fuel cell reactions and up to now scarcely employed in CO<sub>2</sub> electroreduction. In addition, we underscore that normalization of the electrocatalytic activity to the electrochemical active surface area is not the ultimate solution due to concentration gradient along the catalyst layer.This will “underestimate” the activity of high surface electrocatalyst and the degree of underestimation will depend on the thickness, porosity and morphology of the catalyst layer. </p> <p> </p>

To address the issue of global warming and climate change issues, recent research efforts have highlighted opportunities for capturing and electrochemically converting carbon dioxide (CO2). Despite metal doped polymers receiving widespread attention in this respect, the structures hitherto reported lack in ease of synthesis with scale up feasibility. In this study, a series of mesoporous metal-doped polymers (MRFs) with tunable metal functionality and hierarchical porosity were successfully synthesized using a one-step copolymerization of resorcinol and formaldehyde with Polyethyleneimine (PEI) under solvothermal conditions. The effect of PEI and metal doping concentrations were observed on physical properties and adsorption results. The results confirmed the role of PEI on the mesoporosity of the polymer networks and high surface area in addition to enhanced CO2 capture capacity. The resulting Cobalt doped material shows excellent thermal stability and promising CO2 capture performance, with equilibrium adsorption of 2.3 mmol CO2/g at 0 °C and 1 bar for at a surface area 675.62 m2/g. This mesoporous polymer, with its ease of synthesis is a promising candidate for promising for CO2 capture and possible subsequent electrochemical conversion.
