Ultrasonically assisted synthesis of barium stannate incorporated graphitic carbon nitride nanocomposite and its analytical performance in electrochemical sensing of 4-nitrophenol

We describe the ultrasonic assisted preparation of barium stannate-graphitic carbon nitride nanocomposite (BSO-gCN) by a simple method and its application in electrochemical detection of 4-nitrophenol via electro-oxidation. A bath type ultrasonic cleaner with ultrasonic power and ultrasonic frequency of 100 W and 50 Hz, respectively, was used for the synthesis of BSO-gCN nanocomposite material. The prepared BSO-gCN nanocomposite was characterized by employing several spectroscopic and microscopic techniques such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, fourier transform infra-red, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and high resolution transmission electron microscopy, to unravel the structural and electronic features of the prepared nanocomposite. The BSO-gCN was drop-casted on a pre-treated glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and their sensor electrode was utilized for electrochemical sensing of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). The BSO-gCN modified GCE exhibited better electrochemical sensing behavior than the bare GCE and other investigated electrodes. The electroanalytical parameters such as charge transfer coefficient (α = 0.5), the rate constant for electron transfer (k_s = 1.16 s⁻¹) and number of electron transferred were calculated. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) exhibited increase in peak current linearly with 4-NP concentration in the range between 1.6 and 50 μM. The lowest detection limit (LoD) was calculated to be 1 μM and sensitivity of 0.81 μA μM⁻¹ cm⁻²_. A 100-fold excess of various ions, such as Ca²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻, I⁻, CO₃²⁻, NO₃, NH₄⁺ and SO₄²⁻ did not able to interfere with the determination of 4-NP and high sensitivity for detecting 4-NP in real samples was achieved. This newly developed BSO-gCN could be a potential candidate for electrochemical sensor applications.     

Simple and Sensitive Voltammetric Determination of Esculetin Using Electrochemically Reduced Graphene Oxide Modified Electrode

A simple and sensitive voltammetric sensor for esculetin, based on electrochemically reduced graphene oxide film modified glassy carbon electrode, was reported for the quantitative determination of esculetin in the Chinese traditional herbal drug Viola yedoensis Makino. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were employed to study the characteristic of the graphene oxide film. The electrochemical behavior of esculetin on this sensor was investigated in pH 3.0 phosphate buffer solution by cyclic voltammetry. Significant advantages were achieved by the excellent conductivity and the high surface‐to‐volume ratio of electrochemically reduced graphene oxide. A calibration plot of oxidation peak currents versus esculetin concentrations was linear in the range of 4.0 ξ 10^‐8 mol L^‐1 to 5.0 ξ 10^‐6 mol L^‐1 with a detection limit of 2.0 ξ 10^‐8 mol L^‐1. The practical application of the present sensor was demonstrated by determining the concentration of esculetin in real sample with no interference.     

Problem of Pulse Start-up of a Gas Bearing in a Generalized Formulation

The time-dependent motion in the lubricating layer of a gas bearing is analyzed on the basis of the compressible boundary layer equations with allowance for the inertial effects and the transverse temperature drop. After introducing certain assumptions concerning the order of the main dimensionless parameters, approximate expressions for the velocity and temperature are derived. As a result, the problem reduces to the determination of the pressure as a function of the space coordinate and time.

Optimal control and stability analysis of an online game addiction model with two stages

In this paper, we establish a mathematical model of online game addiction with two stages to research the dynamic properties of it. The existence of all equilibria is obtained, and the basic reproduction number is calculated by the method of next-generation matrix. The global asymptotic stability of disease-free equilibrium (DFE) is proved by comparison principle, and the global asymptotic stability of endemic equilibrium (EE) is proved by constructing an appropriate Lyapunov function. Then we use the Pontryagin's maximum principle to find the optimal solution of the model, so that the number of infected people can be minimized. In numerical simulation, firstly, we validate the global stability of DFE and EE. Secondly, we consider three kind of control measures (treatment, isolation, and education) and divide them into four cases. The models with control and without control are solved numerically by using forward and backward sweep Runge-Kutta method. In order to achieve the best control effect, we suggest that three kind of measures should be used simultaneously according to the optimal control strategy.     

A New Simple Voltammetric Method for Thiourea and Thiourea Dioxide Determinations

Abstract

Linear sweep voltammetry at glassy carbon or other carbon materials is shown to be a simple, highly sensitive, and relatively versatile analytical method for the determination of thiourea and thiourea dioxide. Using the first one-electron oxidation peak occurring at ～0.6V, thiourea can be determined directly in a variety of electrolytes from concentrated acids to solutions of pH ～5. The thiourea dioxide determination is based on the two-electron oxidation peak which appears in a number of electrolytes at ～1.2V.

Elimination voltammetry with linear scan (EVLS) in connection with renewed mini‐ drop mercury electrodes provides valuable information about the character and kinetics of processes at electrode/electrolyte interfaces. Based on the experiment related to the hydrogen evolution, it is presented that the EVLS is more sensitive than other voltammetric methods. Using miniaturized mercury electrodes, the EVLS is capable of detecting the effect of spherical diffusion associated with both the scan rates and the size of an electrode drop.
