5,5'-Dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) was selected as an electron transfer mediator and was covalently immobilized onto high porosity carbon cloth to employ as a working electrode in an electrochemical $NAD^+$-regeneration process, which was coupled to an enzymatic reaction. The voltammetric behavior of DTNB attached to carbon cloth resembled that of DTNB in buffered aqueous solution, and the electrocatalytic anodic current grew continuously upon addition of NADH at different concentrations, indicating that DTNB is immobilized to carbon cloth effectively and the immobilized DTNB is active as a soluble one. The bioelectrocatalytic $NAD^+$ regeneration was coupled to the conversion of L-glutamate into ${\alpha}$-ketoglutarate by L-glutamate dehydrogenase within the same microreactor. The conversion at 3 mM monosodium glutamate was very rapid, up to 12 h, to result in 90%, and then slow up to 24 h, showing 94%, followed by slight decrease. Low conversion was shown when substrate concentration exceeding 4 mM was tested, suggesting that L-glutamate dehydrogenase is inhibited by ${\alpha}$-ketoglutarate. However, our electrochemical $NAD^+$ regeneration procedure looks advantageous over the enzymatic procedure using NADH oxidase, from the viewpoint of reaction time to completion.

금속물질의 분산도를 높여주기 위해 열처리와 산처리를 수행한 carbon black에 다양한 비율의 Pt와 Sn을 담지 시킨 촉매를 환원법을 이용하여 합성하였다. Pt/Sn의 비율은 전구체 용액 내에서 상대적인 농도를 변화시켜 조절하였으며, Pt/Sn 비율에 따른 반응 특성을 조사하였다. XRD (X-ray Diffraction) 분석을 통해 합성된 촉매의 결정도를 확인하였고, XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) 분석으로 Pt와 Sn의 산화가를 확인하였다. 합성된 촉매의 조성과 구조를 분석하기 위해 SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)-EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) 분석과 TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) 분석을 수행하였다. 산소 환원 반응 특성은 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ 수용액에서 RDE (Rotating Disk Electrode)를 이용하여 조사하였으며, 산소환원 촉매활성은 Pt/Sn의 비율에 크게 의존함을 확인하였다. 합성한 전극의 메탄올 산화반응은 전기화학분석장치(Potentiostat ; Princeton applied research, VSP)를 이용하여 0.5 M $CH_3OH$와 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$의 혼합수 용액에서 수행하였다. 메탄올 산화에 대한 전기화학적 촉매활성과 안정성을 평가한 결과 적절한 양의 Sn을 첨가한 촉매가 높은 촉매활성과 안정성을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

고효율의 물 분해 시스템은 수소 발생 반응(HER)과 산소 발생 반응(OER) 각각에서의 촉매로 인한 전기화학적 반응에서의 효율로 인해 향상되는 높은 과전압의 감소가 수반되어야 한다. 그 중에서도 전이 금속 기반의 화합물(산화물, 황화물, 인화물, 그리고 질화물)은 현재 상용되고 있는 귀금속을 대체할 촉매 재료로써 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서, 우리는 FESEM 분석을 통해 최적의 단분산된 Co₃[Co(CN)₆]₂ PBAs를 합성하고 XRD, FT-IR 분석을 통하여 결정성을 확인하고 TG-DTA를 통해 PBAs의 열적 거동을 확인하였다. 그리고 합성된 최적의 Co₃[Co(CN)₆]₂ PBAs를 열처리해서 단분산된 Co₃O₄나노 큐브를 합성하였고 XRD를 통해 이의 결정성을 확인하고 OER 측정을 진행하였다. 최종적으로 합성된 Co₃O₄ 나노 큐브는 10 mA·cm^-2의 전류 밀도에서 312 mV의 낮은 과전압과 96.6 mV·dec^-1의 낮은 Tafel slope을 보인다.

In this paper, we describe the development of a non-enzymatic glucose sensor based on copper nanocubes(Cu NCs) electroplated laser induced graphene(LIG) electrodes which can detect a certain range of glucose concentrations. $CO_2$ laser equipment was used to form LIG electrodes on the PI film. This fabrication method allows easy control of the LIG electrode size and shape. The Cu NCs were electrochemically deposited on the LIG electrodes to improve electron transfer rates and thus enhancing electrocatalytic reaction with glucose. The average sheet resistances before and after electroplating were $15.6{\Omega}/{\Box}$ and $19.6{\Omega}/{\Box}$, respectively, which confirmed that copper nanocubes were formed on the laser induced graphene electrodes. The prepared electrode was used to measure the current according to glucose concentration using an electrochemical method. The LIG electrodes with Cu NCs demonstrated a high degree of sensitivity ($1643.31{\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$), good stability with a linear response to glucose ranging from 0.05 mM to 1 mM concentration, and a limit of detection of 0.05 mM. In order to verify that these electrodes can be used as flexible devices, the electrodes were bent to $30^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, and $180^{\circ}$ and cyclic voltammetry measurements were taken while the electrodes were bent. The measured data showed that the peak voltage was almost constant at 0.42 V and the signal was stable even in the flexed condition. Therefore, it is concluded that these electrodes can be used in flexible sensors for detecting glucose in the physiological sample like saliva, tear or sweat.

The silver nanoparticles/polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (Ag/PANI/RGO/GCE) was prepared by the electrochemical method. The Ag/PANI/RGO nanocomposite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ESI). Two electrochemical techniques namely differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used to the electrochemical behaviors investigation of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA). The Ag/PANI/RGO/GCE exhibited remarkable electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation reaction of AA, DA, and UA in Britton-Robinson (BR) solution (pH=4.0). Under the optimal conditions, the determinations of AA, DA, and UA were accomplished using DPV. AA-DA and DA-UA peak potential separations were 130 and 180 mV, respectively. For simultaneous detection, the linear response ranges were in the two concentration ranges of 0.05-0.8 mM and 2.0-16.0 mM with detection limit 0.412 μM (S/N = 3) for AA, 0.7-90.0 μM and 90.0-1000.0 μM with detection limit 0.023 μM (S/N = 3) for DA, and 0.8-70.0 μM and 70.0-1000.0 μM with detection limit 0.050 μM (S/N = 3) for UA. This modified electrode showed good sensitivity, selectivity, and stability with applied to determine AA, DA, and UA in human urine and drug.

Constructing and making highly active and stable nanostructured Pt-based catalysts with ultralow Pt loading are still electrifying for electrochemical applications such as water electrolysis and fuel cells. In this study, MoO₃ ribbons (RBs) of few micrometer in length is successfully synthesized via hydrothermal synthesis. Subsequently, 3-dimentional (3D)-silicate layer for about 10 to 15 nm is introduced via chemical deposition onto the pre-formed MoO₃ RBs; to setup the platform for Pt metaldots (MDs) deposition. In comparison with the bare MoO₃ RBs, the MoO₃-Si has served as a efficient solid-support for stabilizing and accommodating the uniform deposition of sub-2 nm Pt MDs. Such a structural design would effectively assist in improving the electronic conductivity of a fabricated MoO₃-Si-Pt catalyst towards MOR; the interfaced, porous and 3D silicate layer has assisted in an efficient mass transport and quenching the poisonous CO_ads species leading to a significant electrocatalytic performance for MOR in alkaline medium. Uniformly decorated, sub-2 nm sized Pt MDs has synergistically oxidized the MeOH in association with the MoO₃-Si solid-support hence, synergistic catalytic activity has been achieved. Present facile approach can be extended for fabricating variety of highly efficient Metal Oxide-Metal Nanocomposite for energy harvesting applications.

Ceria ($CeO_2$) was used to scavenge free radicals which attack the membrane in the polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) circumstance and to increase the duration of the membrane. In order to improve the electrochemical, mechanical and electrocatalytic characteristics, engineering plastic of the sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK) as polymer matrix was prepared in the sulfonation reaction of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and the organic-inorganic blended composite membranes were prepared by sol-gel casting method with loading the highly dispersed ceria and cesium-substituted phophomolybdic acid(Cs-MoPA) with cross-linking agent contents of 0.01mL. In conclusion, CL-SPEEK/$Cs_{(2.5)}$-MoPA/ceria(1%) membrane showed the optimum results such as 0.1095S/cm of proton conductivity at $80^{\circ}C$, 2.906meq./g-dry-membrane of ion exchange capacity and mechanical characteristics, and 49.73MPa of tensile strength which were better than Nafion 117 membrane.
