In this study, an electrode based on transition metal oxide molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) was fabricated and applied to electrochemical biosensing for glucose. In the process of making electrodes with relatively larger specific surface areas, an array of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was deposited on a silicon substrate, and then, MoO3 was coated on the array of CNTs by chemical vapor deposition to produce a MoO3/CNTs/Si structure of three-dimensional electrochemical biosensing electrodes. Biosensing measurement was carried out in the concentration region from 20 μM to 7 mM of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The highest sensitivity of 17.4 μA/μM cm2 was measured in the concentration range of 20–100 μM. The correlation coefficient of linear response (R2) was 0.9929, thus showing that MoO3/CNTs/Si is an excellent nonenzymatic glucose electrochemical sensor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

No matter how old people are, the ability to feel the sexual climax does not change. Whether a male can enjoy sexual pleasure in multiple sexual climaxes without pressures of the physical erection and ejaculations is a topic to search for, though. A young man can enjoy the thrill of riding on the sexual waves, while an old man is also supposed to also enjoy it in the sexual pool without any pressure of erection and ejaculations. The frequency of ejaculation gradually decreases with age, but satisfaction brought by sexual climax does not decrease. The physiological response to sexual climax may vary with age. As a result, the sexual climaxes of the male and the female in the sexual response cycle are worth exploring to evaluate the quality of sexual life. With this, interfering factors are also necessary to determine including the physical erection and ejaculation, the sexual pleasure, motivation, emotion, and satisfaction of the sexual climax for males. Then, the best solution (decision) for the development of the closed couple relationship can be found. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) with multilayer hierarchical structures is generally considered to be able to provide more active sites and shorter diffusion channels for electrolytes, which make them extremely suitable for supercapacitor applications. Nevertheless, the MoS2 poor conductivity and rare surface area are the major technical obstacles. Herein, we demonstrated a honeycomb basis using carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The honeycomb-shaped carbon skeleton provides a relatively larger surface area to store more ions with a more stable and stronger structure to maintain long-term electrochemical tests. During MoS2 fabrication, MoOx was also synthesized onto CNTs. MoOx influenced the electrochemical test results. Thermal annealing was conducted to remove the MoOx attachments to assure the optimal capacitance value. For the particular composite honeycomb structure (MoS2/CNTs) used in this research, the specific capacitance increased from 4.7 F/g (CNTs) to 75 F/g (MoS2 + MoOx/CNTs), measured using cyclic voltammetry measurements. The specific capacitance further reached 425 F/g using thermal annealing at optimal temperature, 700 °C. The designed electrode materials demonstrated excellent electrochemical characteristics and had great potential for future electrochemical applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
