Electrochemical analysis indicates that the Au-MCNT modified GCE shows high sensitivity and could track the real time response of cancer cells under DNR treatments. Therefore,this new nano-interface and Au-MCNT modified electrode could be explored as a rapid,highly sensitive,and convenient real-time detection strategy in cancer related research and would have prospect in other biomedical applications.展开更多

This MoSz-based nanocomposite modified glass carbon electrode （PtNPs@MoSz/GCE） exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity toward dopamine （DA） and uric acid （UA） due to their synergistic effect. Two well-defined oxidation peaks of DA and UA were obtained at PtNPs@MoS2/GCE with a large peak separation of 160 mV （DA-UA）, sug- gesting that the modified electrode could individually or simultaneously analyze DA and AA. Under the optimal conditions, the peak currents of DA and UA were linearly dependent on their concentrations in the range of 0.5-150 and 5-1000 gmol/L with detection limit of 0.17 and 0.98 gmol/L, respectively. The proposed MoSz-based sensor can also be employed to examine DA and UA in real samples with satisfactory results. Therefore, the PtNPs@MoS2 nanocomposite might offer a good possibil- ity for electrochemical sensing and other electrocatalytic applications.展开更多
