In this work,the chitosan and N-doped graphene natively grown on hierarchical porous carbon(N-PC-G/CS) nanocomposite was obtained by ultrasonic method,as a novel sensor platform for determination of tartrazine(TT).The nanocomposite as prepared had well dispersivity in water and excellent conductivity.The N-PC-G/CS nanocomposite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),nitrogen adsorption-desorption,fourier transform infrared(FTIR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS).The application of N-PC-G/CS for determination of tartrazine(TT) was investigated by chronocoulometry(CC),cyclic voltammetry(CV) and differential pulse voltammetry(DPV).Under optimized conditions,the sensor displayed a sensitive response to TT within a wide concentration range of 0.05-15.0 μmol/L,the detection limits is 0.036 μmol/L(S/N = 3).Furthermore,this nanocomposite could be efficiently applied for determination of TT in soft drink samples.

A novel three-dimensional (3D) layered MoS2@graphene functionalized with nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (MoS2@N-GQDs-GR) composites as an enhanced electrochemical hydrogen evolution catalyst. The few layered MoS2 nanoflowers supported on N-GQDs-GR surface were elaborately fabricated by one-pot hydrothermal method, which MoS2 and N-GQDs-GR exist in a bonding manner of Mo-N. In addition, due to the layered MoS2 sheet edge exposes more hydrogen evolution active sites and N-GQDs-GR have high conductivity, the composites exhibit prominent electrocatalytic activity with a low overpotential 99 mV, a small Tafel slope 49.3 mV/dec. Therefore, that the current work will develop HER catalysts may replace Pt.
