However, they still suffer from unsatisfied energy density, rate performance at high current densities, and cyclic stability, which could be enhanced by providing more electroactive sites and rapid kinetics of ion transport through the optimization of the structure and interface of electrodes. To improve the orientation degree of polymeric chains and open nanoarray structure, in situ hybridization under flowing condition was developed to continuously construct a well-organized array of PANI nanorods on graphene sheets. Due to the uniform structure, array nanostructures on substrates not only provide a larger electrochemically active surface area, faster electron transport, and superior ion diffusion but also possess a higher electrical conductivity and maintain a better structural mechanical stability. In addition, open structure can facilitate electrolyte diffusions, thus reducing the overall internal resistance. The composite electrode fabricated under optimized condition possesses a maximum capacitance of 562.3 F g<sup>−1</sup> at 1 A g<sup>−1</sup> with a retention rate of up to 90.9% from 1 to 100 A g<sup>−1</sup>. Moreover, the assembled flexible device delivers a maximum energy density of 19.6 Wh kg<sup>−1</sup> at 400.0 W kg<sup>−1</sup> and a capacitance retention of 83.8% at 20 A g<sup>−1</sup> after 5000 cycles accompanied by low density and excellent mechanical properties.

The effectiveness of an electrocatalyst depends significantly on the free movement of electrons across the nanocatalyst’s surface.

Thus, creating nanocatalysts with unobstructed surfaces that promote electron movement is crucial. This study describes the synthesis of organic surfactant-free NiSe<sub>2</sub> (sf-NiSe<sub>2</sub>), CoSe<sub>2</sub> (sf-CoSe<sub>2</sub>), and a composite of NiSe<sub>2</sub>/CoSe<sub>2</sub> (sf-NiSe<sub>2</sub>/CoSe<sub>2</sub>) and investigates their electrocatalytic oxidation capabilities for non-enzymatic glucose sensing.

The electrochemical synthesis of ferrate is carried out using a two-compartment electrochemical cell divided for the first time with a chitosan cation exchange membrane prepared from extracted chitosan as a green non-toxic biopolymer. The elaborated chitosan membrane was first characterized using FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction), and TGA–DSC (thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry) analysis. Different vital parameters influencing the performance of the synthesis were optimized. The FTIR spectra of the chitosan membrane show characteristic peaks at 1573 and 1640 cm<sup>−1</sup>. The XRD results indicate a semi-crystalline structure of chitosan, while the TGA–DSC shows a high thermal resistance.

The resulting product was characterized quantitatively and qualitatively using UV–Vis (ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy), XRD, FTIR, SEM (scanning electron microscopy), TGA, and chromite titration. The UV–Vis results show a characteristic peak at 504.5 nm, the XRD pattern confirms an orthorhombic structure, and the FTIR spectra show a distinct peak of 865 cm<sup>−1</sup>.
