The electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has attracted much attention recently. Meanwhile, the size of nanoparticles which significantly influences electrocatalytic activity is crucial for electrocatalysts. Hence, we prepared five different size-selected Pt/graphene-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrodes to characterize H2O2level via electrochemical measurements. During the preparation of the nanocomposites, size-selected Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with the mean diameter of 1.3, 1.7, 2.9, and 4.3 nm were assembled onto the graphene surfaces. The electrochemical measurement results are size-dependent for Pt NPs when sensing H2O2. When all cyclic voltammogram results from various electrodes are compared, the Pt-1.7 nm/G-modified GC electrode has the highest reduction current, the best detection limit, and the best sensitivity.

A mild synthetic process using formic acid as the reduction agent was applied to prepare 40 wt% Pt/carbon aerogel (CA) electrocatalyst. The as-prepared sample was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical measurements. The results exhibit Pt nanoparticles with narrow particle size distribution are dispersed throughout carbon aerogel structure. Moreover, the Pt/CA catalyst has smaller Pt nanoparticle mean size than Johnson Matthey HiSpecTM 4000 (JM4000). The electrochemical measurement results indicate that the Pt/CA catalyst with Pt loading of 40 wt% possesses similar electrochemical surface area (ESA) value and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity as JM4000.

This paper proposes a combined strategy of using paper-based competitive immunochromatography and a near field communication (NFC) tag for wireless cotinine determination. The glucose oxidase labeled cotinine antibody specifically binds free cotinine in a sample, whereas the unoccupied antibody attached to BSA-cotinine at the test line on a lateral flow strip. The glucose oxidase on the strip and an assistant pad in the presence of glucose generated H2O2 and imposed the Ag oxidation on the modified electrode. This enabled monitoring of immunoreaction by either electrochemical measurement or wireless detection. Wireless sensing was realized for cotinine in the range of 100–1000 ng/mL (R2 = 0.96) in PBS medium. Undiluted urine samples from non-smokers exhibited an Ag-oxidation rate three times higher than the smoker’s urine samples. For 1:8 diluted urine samples (smokers), the proposed paper-based competitive immunochromatography coupled with an enzyme-modified electrode differentiated positive and negative samples and exhibited cotinine discrimination at levels higher than 12 ng/mL. This novel sensing platform can potentially be combined with a smartphone as a reader unit.

1. The evasive jump response of Spisula can be elicited by contact of the siphons with the tube feet of a starfish (Asterias forbesi). 2. The level of responsiveness varies with the size of the individual clam; small clams (2.0-5.0 cm) being very responsive, large clams (12.0-18.0 cm) being totally unresponsive. 3. The cell bodies of touch-sensitive neurones subserving the siphons are located in the visceral ganglion. The mean area of the receptive fields of these neurones in small clams is 33.8 mm2 and in large clams is 9.7 mm2. 4. In small clams the large proportion of the total siphon surface innervated by single touch-sensitive neurones results in considerable overlap of receptive fields. As a result of this overlap, numerous touch-sensitive neurones are activated by a point stimulus. 5. The variation in jump responsiveness of large and small clams is correlated with the size of the receptive fields of touch-sensitive neurones.
