In the first work, the method of direct growth was used to grew MOFs based on cobalt, as electroactive centers, for preparing electrochemical sensors for the determination of glucose. In comparison to most of the electrochemical sensing platforms based on MOFs for determining glucose, which suffer from some disadvantages like time-consuming synthesis procedures and using hazardous organic solvents, the proposed in situ growth method is much faster and no need to toxic organic solvents. Herein, cobalt-based MOFs were grown on the surface of the reduced graphene oxide modified glassy carbon electrode by the direct and rapid conversion of cobalt hydroxide nanosheets intermediates. The... 

In the present work, nanocomposites consisting of nickel oxide nanostructures and a hollow carbon substrate were used to modify a glassy carbon electrode's surface for the electrooxidation of hydrazine hydrate. For this purpose, hollow carbon nanospheres were first synthesized using aniline and pyrrole copolymerization process without any template needing. The hollow carbon nanospheres prepared by this method have outstanding features such as high specific surface area and good stability. On the other hand, they did not require toxic and environmentally harmful solvents to remove the template. In this study, after preparing hollow carbon nanospheres as a suitable substrate, different... 

Oxygen gas has many applications and is used in respiration, welding, methanol production, steel industry, rocket fuel and most importantly fuel cells. Today, due to the environmental pollution caused by fossil fuels, the use of clean energy production methods such as fuel cells has received much attention. In hydrogen fuel cells, electrical energy is generated using oxygen and hydrogen gases through an electrochemical process. One of the common methods of producing these gases is electrolysis of water in which the kinetics of anodic reaction (oxygen evolution) have led to many researches in the field of improving metal and non - metal electrocatalysts, especially based on carbon...
