Front cover in ACS Catalysis

This study investigates sulfite ion electrooxidation in an alkaline environment using cyclic voltammetry on copper oxide electrodes with different oxidation states (Cu(I) and Cu(II)) and similar active areas. Nanostructured Cu films made of nanoparticles or nanorods were synthesized on glassy carbon electrodes. The findings reveal that Cu(I) electrodes demonstrate higher…

Development of a Graphene SG-FET aptasensor able to detect attomolar concentrations of hepatitis C virus core protein

Biosensors based on graphene field-effect transistors have become a promising tool for detecting a broad range of analytes. However, they lack the stability and reproducibility required to step into biotechnological and biomedical applications. ESISNA group has used a promising physical graphene functionalization protocol which allows atomically-precise highly-controlled covalent functionalization, preserving…
