TL;DR: The generation of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based SAMs on gold that demonstrate considerably greater resistance to heat and chemical reagents than the thiol-based counterparts are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, a core@shell structure of Co-Co3O4 core particles enclosed in a shell of carbon-nanotube (CNT)-incorporated nitrogen-doped carbon (hereafter abbreviated as CoCo 3O4@CNT-NC) was synthesized via simple pyrolysis of a melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resin and cobalt acetate composite in a N2 atmosphere, followed by oxidation with H2O2.

TL;DR: The use of benzimidazolium hydrogen carbonates as bench stable solid precursors for the preparation of NHC films in solution or by vapour-phase deposition from the solid state and the use of these films in surface plasmon resonance-type biosensing is described, where they provide specific advantages versus traditional thiol-based films.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hierarchical graphitic porous carbon composite with Co-Ni oxide nanoparticles was constructed by a dual pyrolysis process, and the structure of the porous carbon was optimized by the introduction of graphene to the chitosan hydrogel.

TL;DR: A novel biosensor for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 is described here using a film composed of ferrocene-peptide conjugates, in which the antimicrobial peptide magainin I has been incorporated as the biorecognition element.
