Earlier, such catalyst was used for the preparation of a 100 W rechargeable bipolar zinc-oxygen battery [328]. Also, nanostructured Mn02 combined with mesocarbon microbeads was prepared and used [329] in such batteries as a catalyst for oxygen reduction, which has a very good electrocatalytic activity with respect to oxygen, and in comparison with electrolytic Mn02. Prepared with this material, the all solid-state zinc-air cell... 

Phthalocyanines and porphyrins are often used as model compounds for the manipulation (guest molecule) of surface-supported supramolecular two-dimensional arrays both in UHV and in solution. Spillmann et al. reported that zinc(II) 5,15-bis(3-cyanophcnyl)-10,20-bis 3,5-di(/c/7-bu(yl )phcnylj porphyrin, 2, molecules predominantly formed a hexagonal pattern by trimer formation, when 0.5-0.7 MLs of 2 was deposited on Ag(l 11) especially, 2 forms a characteristic nanostructure on Ag(l 11) at low coverage [163], As reported by Yokoyama et al., it is suggested that the molecular assembly is driven by both van der Waals and dipole-dipole interactions involving the polar 3-cyanophenyl residues [79], After further deposition of C60...

Another application of Zinc oxide nanostructure is immobilization of uricace onto ZnO nanorod and fabrication a sensitive biosensor for uric acid detection [167], The biosensor successfully used for micromolar detection of uric acid in the presence serious interferences, glucose, ascorbic acid, and 1-cysteine. The apparent KM value for the uric acid biosensor is 0.238 mM, showing high affinity of the biosensor. Direct electron transfer of SOD at a physical vapor deposited zinc oxide nanoparticles surface was investigated [168], In comparison to SOD immobilized onto ZnO nanodisks [169], the electron transfer rate constant is small and a quasi- reversible electrochemical behavior observed. A novel...
