Description
Summary:Nanoporous carbon materials are highly important materials for a wide array of applications. Here we show that nanoporous carbon can act as highly active materials for electrochemical sensing. We observed that nanoporous carbon material exhibits a faster heterogeneous electron transfer than graphite and pure carbon nanotubes. Nanoporous carbon exhibits a superior electrochemical performance for sensing of important biomarkers such as dopamine, ascorbic acid, uric acid, NADH, DNA bases, and forensic-related compounds such as nitroaromatic explosives. Nanoporezní materiály na bázi uhlíku nacházejí využití v mnoha oblastech. V tomto článku ukážeme jejich výhody pro použití v oblasti electrochemického stanovení látek. Heterogenní přenos elektronu mezi nanoporézním uhlíkem a solutem je velmi rychlý. Použití tohoto typu uhlíku je velmi výhodné pro stanovení dopaminu, vitamínu C, kyseliny močové, NADH, DNA bází a nitroaromatických látek.
