MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:7184. [PMID: 38005113 PMCID: PMC10672773 DOI: 10.3390/ma16227184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
Cotton and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) woven fabrics were coated with graphene oxide (GO) using a padding method and the GO deposited on the fiber surfaces was thermally reduced to impart electrical conductivity to the fabrics. To assist the thermal reduction of GO, quercetin (Q)-a natural flavonoid-was used. To this end, before the reduction, the GO-padded fabrics were immersed in Q solutions in ethanol with different Q concentrations. Q enhanced the thermal reduction of GO. Depending on the Q concentration in the solutions, electrical surface resistivities of the cotton fabric of 750 kΩ/sq to 3.3 MΩ/sq and of the PET fabric of 240 kΩ/sq to 730 kΩ/sq were achieved. The cotton and PET fabrics also became hydrophobic, with water contact angles of 163° and 147°, respectively. In addition to the electrical conductivity, the presence of Q resulted in antibacterial activity of the fabrics against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:ma16093378. [PMID: 37176266 PMCID: PMC10180021 DOI: 10.3390/ma16093378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 04/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
An electrochemical sensor based on carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) composite was fabricated to detect lead(II). The CQDs (2.47 ± 0.52 nm) were synthesized from platanus acerifoli leaves by carbonization and the hydrothermal method. Under the optimal conditions, the fabricated electrochemical sensor had excellent performance in detecting Pb2+. The linear range for Pb2+ was 1 nM-1 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.04 nM and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.14 nM. Moreover, when the solution contained Pb2+ and Cd2+, the linear range for Pb2+ was 50 nM to 1 μM and the LOD was 0.02 nM. When the solution contained Pb2+ and Cu2+, the linear range for Pb2+ was 50 nM-750 nM and LOD was 0.07 nM. Furthermore, even if the solution contained Pb2+, Cd2+ and Cu2+, the linear range for Pb2+ was 50 nM-1 μM and the LOD was 0.04 nM. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) results indicated that the composite electrode materials had abundant oxygen-containing functional groups, a large specific surface area and pore structure, which are conducive to the adsorption of heavy metal ions and improve the detection performance.

Abstract
Surface water contamination of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) has tremendously affected the ecosystem. A primary study was performed to develop an electrochemical sensor for the determination of SMX. Overcoming the demerit associated with the conventional techniques, an electrochemical method was developed using GO/ZnO nanocomposite modified electrode to detect SMX in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH-5.5) buffer solution. The GO, ZnO and GO/ZnO nanocomposite were prepared using modified Hummer's, precipitation and sonochemical methods, respectively. Physico-chemical properties of all the materials and its modified electrode were analysed. Comparison was made by studying the SMX sensing performance of electrodes modified with GO, ZnO and GO/ZnO nanocomposites. Out of which GO/ZnO nanocomposite exhibited excellent sensing performance with the concentration range from 0.10 × 10-6 to 1.5 × 10-6 M with the limit of detection (LOD) 28.9 nM. The parameters such as electrolyte, effect of pH, scan rate were optimized for effective sensing performance. From the optimized results 0.1 M phosphate buffer was found to be a suitable electrolyte and the pH 5.5 was found to be appropriate to sense SMX at the scan rate 50 mVs-1. Under optimized condition, the Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) and Amperometry techniques were adopted for electrochemical sensing of SMX under static and hydrodynamic condition. The developed method was successfully tested for real time analysis for the samples collected from waste water treatment plant.

Abstract
Heavy metals and dyes are the persistent pollutants causing harmful effects on living organisms in different ecosystems. In current study, removal of Lead (Pb) and Congo Red (CR) from water was performed using Iron oxide/Activated Carbon (Fe3O4/AC) nanocomposite. Ferromagnetic behavior of the nanocomposite is the crucial advantage in separation of nanocomposite after biosorption process. The biosorbent was thermally stable till 800 °C of temperature. The synthesized biosorbent was polycrystalline in nature comprising of elements like C, O, Fe. The influence of various experimental conditions was optimized through batch study with the biosorption capacity of 144.92 mg/g (Pb) and 122.22 mg/g (CR) at pH 5-6, Fe3O4/AC dosage (0.04 g) for 40 mg/L of Pb and CR. Toxicological assessment was performed using Danio rerio and seeds to evaluate the harmful effects of pollutants on these organisms. The phytotoxicity results revealed that growth inhibition of seeds lies between 85.64% and 55.92% (Pb) and 77.94%-51.85% (CR). The LC50 value of Pb on the Danio rerio was found to be 20.98 mg/L. In contrast, we observed significant increase in LC50 value about 86.82 mg/L after biosorption of Pb onto biosorbent.
