Amperometric NADH Biosensor Based on Magnetic Chitosan Microspheres/Poly(thionine) Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

Novel magnetic chitosan‐coated microspheres (MCMSs) were prepared by modifying carbon‐coated iron magnetic nanoparticles with chitosan. An amperometric dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) sensor was constructed based on immobilizing MCMS on the surface of a polythionine (PTH) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The fabrication of MCMS/PTH film and its electrocatalytic effect on electrochemical oxidation of NADH were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and voltammetric methods. It was found that the resulting integrated films of PTH and MCMS exhibit high electrocatalytic response to NADH by significantly reduce its overpotential. The effects of the experimental variables on the amperometric determination of NADH such as solution pH and working potential were investigated for optimum analytical performance. This electrochemical sensor had a fast response to NADH which was less than 10 s. Linear response ranges of 2–10 μM and 10–100 μM and a detection limit of 0.51 μM (S/N=3) were obtained under the optimum conditions. Moreover, the selectivity, stability and reproducibility of this biosensor was evaluated with satisfactory results.     

Preparation and characterization of molecularly imprinted microspheres for dibutyl phthalate recognition in aqueous environment

Molecularly imprinted microspheres (MIMs) were prepared by suspension polymerization for the binding and recognition of dibutyl phthalate (DBP). DBP was used as the template molecule, methacrylic acid as the functional monomer, ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) as the linking agent, PVA as the dispersing agent, and Span 60 as the surfactant. The MIMs were characterized with electron microscope scanning and rebinding experiments. The Scatchard plot revealed that the template‐polymer system has a two‐site binding behavior with dissociation constants of 4.05 and 0.515 mmol/L. The MIMs exhibited the highest selective rebinding to DBP at 736.85 μg/g. The recoveries of the MIM‐SPE column for DBP extraction was 94.75–101.9% with the RSD of 1.5–7.3%, indicating the feasibility of the prepared MIMs for DBP extraction. Finally, the method developed was used to analyze the trace levels of phthalate in aqueous environment samples.

Preconcentration sensitive determination of pyrethroid insecticides in environmental water samples with solid phase extraction with SiO2 microspheres cartridge prior to high performance liquid chromatography

Present study developed a new method for the sensitive determination of pyrethroid insecticides with solid phase extraction in combination with high performance liquid chromatography and UV detector. SiO₂ microspheres, a new SiO₂ based material, was investigated for the enrichment ability and applicability as the solid phase extraction sorbent. Four pyrethroid pesticides such as fenpropathrin, cyhalothrin, fenvalevate and biphenthrin were used as the target analytes. Parameters that maybe influence the extraction efficiency such as the eluent type and its volume, sample flow rate, sample pH, and the sample volume were optimized in detail, and the optimal conditions were as followed: sample volume, 100 mL; concentration of methanol, 30%; acetone volume, 5 mL; sample flow rate, 4.2 mL min⁻¹; sample pH, 7. The experimental results indicated that there was good linearity in the concentration range of 0.1–50 μg L⁻¹ except biphenthrin in the range of 0.05–25 μg L⁻¹. The detection limits for fenpropathrin, cyhalothrin, fenvalevate and biphenthrin were in the range of 0.02–0.08 μg L⁻¹. The intra-day and day to day precisions (RSDs, n = 6) were in the ranges of 2.6–4.4% and 5.3–7.2%, respectively. The method was validated with five real environmental water samples, and all these results proved that proposed method could be used as a good alternative for the routine analysis for such pollutants in environmental samples.

Influence of carbon templates and Yb concentration on red and green luminescence of uniform Y2O3:Yb/Er hollow microspheres

Uniform Yb³⁺ and Er³⁺-codoped Y₂O₃ hollow microspheres were synthesized via urea co-precipitation using carbon spheres as templates. Intense red emission (⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2) and weak green emission (²H_11/2, ⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2) of Er³⁺ were observed for the Yb³⁺ and Er³⁺-codoped Y₂O₃ hollow microspheres under 980 nm infrared excitation. The integrated intensity of visible emission and the ratio of red to green were found to be strongly dependent on the amount of carbon sphere templates and the concentration of Yb³⁺ ions. The amount of carbon sphere templates also plays an important role in adjusting the size of crystallite. Multi-phonon relaxation resulted from the absorbents (OH⁻ and CO₃²⁻) on the surface of the crystallite, and efficient occur of energy transfer processes and cross-relaxation between Er³⁺ and Yb³⁺ are responsible for the enhancement of intensity ratio of red to green emission. Interestingly, for higher concentration of Yb³⁺ ions, the green emission is assigned to a three-phonon process in Y₂O₃:Yb/Er hollow microspheres, which also could result in the increase of the red to green emission ratio. An explanation to account for these behaviors was presented.     

Preparation and mechanism of magnetic carbonaceous polysaccharide microspheres by low-temperature hydrothermal method

In this study, the preparation method for magnetic carbonaceous polysaccharide (Fe₃O₄@CP) microspheres was developed to increase the yield and encapsulation efficiency using a suitable quantity of NaOH as the catalysis. The optimum fabrication condition was identified through a series of experiment, under which the resulting Fe₃O₄@CP microspheres show good magnetic properties. The saturation magnetization was 60.629 emu/g and the magnetite content increased up to 81.7%. The shell of the microspheres was carbonaceous polysaccharide with rich hydroxyl and carbonyl groups located on the surface, and the mean size was less than 300 nm. The formation mechanism of Fe₃O₄@CP was also discussed in this paper.
