Preparation and Characterization of Bhant Leaves‐derived Nitrogen‐doped Carbon and its Use as an Electrocatalyst for Detecting Ketoconazole

In this study, the electrocatalytic characteristics of nitrogen‐doped carbon (NDC) prepared from Clerodendrum Infortunatum L leaves on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface was evaluated with regards to its ability to detect the electroactive drug ketoconazole (KCZ). The NDC was prepared by carrying out a simple pyrolysis of dry powder of the leaves at 850 °C. The prepared NDC was characterized using field‐emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller analysis, and was then used as an electrode material. The performance of the electrochemical KCZ sensor with the NDC‐modified glassy carbon electrode (NDC/GCE) was found to be optimal when using PBS buffer at pH 3 and a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml of NDC in the conjugate with Nafion polymer. Under these conditions, the NDC/GCE displayed a KCZ detection limit of 3 μM and a linear dependence of its response on KCZ concentration over a wide range of KCZ concentrations from 47 μM to 752 μM (R²=0.9742). These results confirmed the potential of NDC as an electrocatalyst.     

三价铁离子与硫离子反应的实验探究

探究了水溶液中Fe3+与S2-的反应，得出几点结论：生成Fe2S3的沉淀反应是动力学优势反应，生成Fe2+和S的氧化还原反应是热力学优势反应；发现Fe2S3可以与Fe3+反应生成S和Fe2+，Fe2S3在酸性条件下不稳定；在弱碱性条件下，Fe3+也有与HS-发生氧化还原反应的倾向；Fe3+在水溶液中主要以水解产物[Fe（H2O）6-n（OH）n]（3-n）+（n=1，2）存在，[Fe（H2O）6-n（OH）n]（3-n）+的氧化性很弱，难以将H2S或HS-氧化，却易与S2-结合生成Ksp极小的Fe2S3沉淀。

A transflective polymer-stabilised blue-phase liquid display with partitioned wall-shaped electrodes

A transflective polymer-stabilised blue-phase liquid crystal display (BP-LCD) with partitioned wall-shaped electrodes is proposed. The etched polymer layer contributes to balance the optical phase retardation between transmissive (T) and reflective (R) regions. The partitioned wall-shaped electrodes generate uniform and horizontal fields throughout the entire LC layer to induce isotropic-to-anisotropic transition in the blue-phase liquid crystal medium through Kerr effect. Consequently, the accumulated phase retardation along beam path is large, resulting in reasonable low operation voltage and high transmittance both in T and R regions. This approach enables the BP-LCD to be addressed by amorphous silicon thin-film transistors. Moreover, it exhibits wide viewing angle and a well-matched gamma curve.     

Single layer graphene: an alternative electrode material for ferroelectric liquid crystal based displays

We made comparative investigations on indium tin oxide (ITO) and single-layer graphene (SLG)-coated glass substrate as electrodes, specially for ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC)-based system. We experimentally examined the comparative behaviour of important electro-optical FLC parameters for ITO- and SLG-based sample cells. The parameters are observed to be almost similar for both the cells. Interestingly, the value of threshold voltage is observed lower in SLG-based cell in comparison to that of conventional ITO/ITO cell. The presented results will definitely add a step to prove the suitability of graphene to be used as transparent electrodes in FLC-based display devices.     

Novel electrochemical procedure for the determination of metamitron

In this paper, a chronopotentiometric method for the determination of herbicide metamitron (MTM) using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and a thin film mercury electrode (TFME) as working electrodes is presented. MTM provided a well-defined reductive peak in the Britton–Robinson buffer on both working electrodes. Instrumental and chemical factors such as pH of the buffer, initial potential and reduction current influencing MTM chronopotentiometric response were optimised with the Box–Behnken experimental design. Under the optimal combination of factors, the analytical signal was linear in the MTM concentration range of 0.8–30 mg/L, with a detection limit of 68.53 µg/L using a TFME, and in the concentration range of 1–30 mg/L, with a detection limit of 92.91 µg/L using a GCE. The precision of the method was estimated as a function of repeatability and reproducibility, with the value of relative standard deviation lower than 2.6%. The applicability of the method was verified by direct analysis of MTM in spiked water samples and commercial pesticide formulations. The obtained results were in good agreement with those obtained using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method, or with those labelled by the manufacturer. By using chronopotentiometry, neither extraction nor preconcentration procedures are necessary, thus making this method simple, cost-effective and more feasible for analytical routine analysis.
