The obtained Co3O4 and Co3O4- MCNT were characterized and investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Quantitative analysis of glucose was performed using the amperometric (i–t) method, and plot of current difference versus concentration of glucose was linear in the range of 1.0–122μmol/L, with a linear correlation coefficient (R^2) of 0.9983 and limit of detection (LOD) of 0.28μmol/L. Sensitivity of this sensor was evaluated as 2550μA L mmol^-1 cm^-2. This new sensor produced satisfactory reproducibility and stability and was applied to monitor trace amounts of glucose in human serum samples.展开更多

Therefore, we have proposed to apply mesoporous CNT(mCNT) as a template to prepare tungsten nanowires. However, the tungsten precursor should fill the hollow tube of mCNT firstly, and very few related studies have been reported. In this paper, we have systematically studied the filling process of ammonium metatungstate(AMT) aqueous solution. The results reveal that owing to the mesopores in the mCNT sidewall, the AMT can be encapsulated into the tube at room temperature(RT) and we can fully fill it without destroying the structure. In addition, vibration and solute concentration are also important factors. Besides,the mesoporous sidewall and hollow tubular core structure of mCNT are prerequisites to realize full filling. Furthermore,tungsten nanowires have been obtained after reduction of AMT in mCNTs.展开更多

The results show that when an optimum amount of nanometricalumina or MCNTs is filled in epikote51 (E51), the wear resistance of the composite will increase. When 8 wt pct nanometricγ-alumina is filled in E51, the wear resistance of the composite increases to 230%. When 10% MCNTs is filled in E51, thewear resistance of the composite increases to 226%. When nanometric alumina is filled in, the wear resistance of modifiedepikote51 will increase as the cure temperature is heightened.展开更多
