Cationic Dye Modified Sawdust as Electrode Modifier for Electrochemical Detection of Anions

Because of its chemical properties, sawdust displays poor anionic exchange capacity. Here we demonstrate that sawdust modification with methylene blue (MB) dye represents an interesting and facile alternative to render this natural biomaterial capable to accumulate anionic species. MB adsorption onto sawdust was monitored by cyclic voltammetry and experimental parameters carefully optimized. Under the ideal experimental conditions (composition of accumulation and desorption solution, accumulation and desorption time and the nature of the electrolytic solution), the adsorbed MB showed poor mobility, which results in the absence of the characteristic electrochemical signal of MB. The ability of the material to accumulate anionic species was thus evaluated using Fe(CN)₆^3? as a model anions. The slow Fe(CN)₆^3?/4? system recorded onto the electrode modified by pristine sawdust (P/SFE) become fast and reversible after immobilization of MB onto P/SFE (MB/SFE). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy confirms this result through the spectacular decrease of charge transfer resistance after MB adsorption (from 83 kΩ on P/SFE to 637 Ω on MB/SFE). MB/SFE was applied to the electroanalysis of nitrites and a sensitivity of 7.4 μA mM^?1 was obtained. Although this sensitivity was less important compared to that obtained on glassy carbon electrode (9.4 μA mM^?1), the dye modified electrode displays by far the best reproducibility even at higher nitrite concentration.     

Metallogel Template Fabrication of pH‐Responsive Copolymer Nanowires Loaded with Silver Nanoparticles and Their Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue

Poly(N,N′‐methylenebisacrylamide–4‐vinylpyridine) (P(MBA‐4VP)) nanowires loaded with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been fabricated by silver metallogel template copolymerization, and subsequently, silver ions are reduced instead of the template being removed. Ag NPs with a diameter of 5–15 nm were dispersed throughout the core of P(MBA‐4VP) nanowires. The size and distribution of the formed Ag NPs could be finely controlled by reduction time. The pH sensitivity of P(MBA‐4VP) nanowires offers the possibility of Ag NP release from the nanowires under acidic conditions. The photocatalytic performance of the P(MBA‐4VP) nanowires loaded with Ag NPs was evaluated for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV light irradiation. Their rate of degradation is dependent on the content and size of the Ag NPs, as well as the pH values of the MB solution. Moreover, the P(MBA‐4VP) nanowires loaded with Ag NPs exhibited high photostability, and the photocatalytic efficiency reduced by only 1.81 % after being used three times.     

Voltammetric Determination of Folic Acid Using Adsorption of Methylene Blue onto Electrodeposited of Reduced Graphene Oxide Film Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

This work presents a sensitive voltammetric method for determination of folic acid by adsorbing methylene blue onto electrodeposited reduced graphene oxide film modified glassy carbon electrode (MB/ERGO/GCE) in 100 mM KCl‐10 mM sodium phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.40). The surface morphology of the MB/ERGO/GCE modified electrode was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, displays that both MB and ERGO distributed homogeneously on the surface of GCE. The MB/ERGO/GCE modified electrode shows more favorable electron transfer kinetics for potassium ferricyanide and potassium ferrocyanide probe molecules, which are important electroactive compounds, compared with bare GCE, MB/GCE, and ERGO/GCE. The electrochemical behaviors of folic acid at MB/ERGO/GCE were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, suggesting that the modified electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards folic acid compared with other electrodes. Under physiological condition, the MB/ERGO/GCE modified electrode showed a linear voltammetric response from 4.0 μM to 167 μM for folic acid, and with the detection limit of 0.5 μM (S/N=3). The stability, reproducibility and anti‐interference ability of the modified electrode were examined. The developed method has been successfully applied to determination of FA in tablets with a satisfactory recovery from 96 % to 100 %. The work demonstrated that the electroactive MB adsorbing onto graphene modified electrode showed an enhanced electron transfer property and a high resolution capacity to FA.     

Surface‐Confined Electropolymerization of Methylene Blue on Gold Electrodes

We report on the electrochemical behaviour and electropolymerization of self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) of methylene blue (MB) on gold electrodes. The SAMs of MB on gold electrodes were prepared by immersing the substrates into a solution of 1.0 mM MB in absolute ethanol for different times at room temperature. Cyclic voltammetry experiments exhibited that reductive desorption of MB monolayer takes place at three different potentials on polycrystalline gold electrodes, while reductive desorption of MB monolayer consists of only one peak on single crystal Au(111) substrates. Calculated charge densities for different immersion times indicated that optimal immersion time for self‐assembly of MB is 96 h. Electropolymerization of SAMs of MB on gold electrode was achieved by applying 0.95 V for 1 s in 0.1 M borate buffer solution (pH: 9.0). It was observed that poly(MB) monolayers are highly stable in acidic media. ATR‐FTIR and UV‐vis spectra exhibited differences between monomer and polymer monolayers, which are attributed to surface‐confined electropolymerization. STM image of poly(MB) monolayer on Au(111) substrate revealed a surface that is covered by well‐ordered, collateral nanowires with an average size of 3 nm.     

Sorption of methylene blue on an organoclay bearing thiol groups and application to electrochemical sensing of the dye

In this work, a thiol functionalized-clay was prepared by the covalent grafting of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) onto the surface of a natural smectite clay mineral originating from Cameroon. Effectiveness of the grafting process and properties of the resulting hybrid material were studied by various physico-chemical techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, N(2) adsorption-desorption experiments (surface area measurements by the BET method) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). Sorption of methylene blue (MB), an electroactive cationic dye, was investigated for both the raw clay and its modified counterpart, as a function of shaking time, adsorbate concentration and pH, through batch experiments. A significant enhancement of the adsorption capacity towards MB was observed with the clay bearing thiol groups in comparison with the pristine one. The obtained sorption data matched the Langmuir isotherm model, from which it appeared that the organoclay adsorbed MB at a maximal loading of 1.04mmolg(-1), while the natural clay displayed a significantly poorer performance (0.31mmolg(-1)). The uptake of MB by the modified clay was found to be highly affected by pH, the cationic dye being more effectively adsorbed in alkaline medium. The possible use of the thiol functionalized-clay as electrode modifier for MB sensing purposes was then evaluated by means of carbon paste electrodes, using cyclic voltammetry. A calibration curve was obtained in the concentration range from 1x10(-6) to 1.4x10(-5)molL(-1), with a detection limit of 4x10(-7)molL(-1)(signal/noise=3).     

Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanowires: synthesis by cyclic electrodeposition/stripping, thinning by electrooxidation, and electrical power generation

Nanowires composed of the thermoelectric material Bi2Te3 were synthesized on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) electrodes using the electrochemical step edge decoration (ESED) method. Nanowire synthesis was initiated by applying a voltage pulse of -0.75 V versus SCE for 5 ms to an HOPG electrode in an aqueous solution containing both Bi3+ and TeO22-, thereby producing nuclei at the step edges. Bi2Te3 was electrodeposited onto these nuclei using a cyclic electrodeposition-stripping scheme that involved the electrodeposition of bismuth-rich Bi2Te3 on a negative-going voltammetric scan (to -0.05 V) and the subsequent anodic stripping of excess bismuth from these nanowires during a positive-going scan (to +0.35 V). When this cycle was repeated 10-50 times, Bi2Te3 nanowires in the 100-300-nm-diameter range were obtained. These nanowires were narrowly dispersed in diameter (RSDdia = 10-20%), were more than 100 microm in length, and were organized into parallel arrays containing hundreds of wires. Smaller nanowires, with diameters down to 30 nm, were obtained by electrooxidizing 150-nm-diameter Bi2Te3 nanowires at +0.37 V under conditions of kinetic control. This oxidation process unexpectedly improved the uniformity of Bi2Te3 nanowires, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows that these nanowires retain a Bi2Te3 core but also have a thin surface layer composed of Bi and Te oxides. The ability of Bi2Te3 nanowires to generate electrical power was assessed by transferring ensembles of these nanowires onto cyanoacrylate-coated glass surfaces and evaporating 4-point nickel contacts. A dimensionless figure of merit, ZT, ranging from 0 to 0.85 was measured for fresh samples that were less than 1 day old. XPS reveals that Bi2Te3 nanowires are oxidized within a week to Bi2O3 and TeO2. These oxides may interfere with the application by evaporation of electrical contacts to these nanowires.

Selective and effective adsorption of methyl blue by barium phosphate nano-flake

We report the synthesis of barium phosphate (BP) nano-flake and its adsorption behavior to methyl blue (MB) in aqueous solution. The as-obtained BP nano-flake revealed pure rhombohedral crystal structure. The adsorption capacity of MB onto BP reached 1500mgg(-1). The adsorption equilibrium results fitted well with the Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption process took less than 30min to reach equilibrium. The adsorption kinetics was elucidated by the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. It followed 2-stage and 3-stage intra-particle diffusion models for the low and high concentration of dye solutions, respectively. The adsorption of MB using the BP nano-flake was highly selective, compared with the adsorption of other dyes. The interactions between MB and BP were mainly the ionic interaction and hydrogen bonds, which were confirmed by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic results and the density functional theory calculations. The BP nano-flake revealed less than 5% decrease in adsorption amount when it was recycled and reused five times. The present work shows that the BP nano-flake is promising for practical applications in MB removal from aqueous solutions.
