Synthesis and spectroscopic characterisation of aurichalcite (Zn,Cu2+)5(CO3)2(OH)6; implications for Cu–ZnO catalyst precursors

The Cu–ZnO catalyst precursors with variable Cu:Zn ratio, between Zn-rich and Cu-rich compositions have been investigated by a combination of electronic and vibrational spectroscopy. Synthesized catalyst precursors exhibit two d–d transition bands of Cu²⁺ ions in a distorted octahedral symmetry, at 7,600 and 12,900 cm⁻¹ (1,315 and 775 nm). The effect of structural cation substitution (Zn²⁺ and Cu²⁺) on band shifts is observed in the spectra of the synthetic catalyst precursors. The observation of two broad features at ∼7,600 and 12,900 cm⁻¹ (1,315 and 775 nm) is a strong indication for Zn²⁺ substitution by Cu²⁺ ions. The result of multiple bands in the symmetric stretching and bending regions confirms the reduction of symmetry from D _3h to C _2v /C _s for (CO₃)²⁻ ion in aurichalcite. The synthetic aurichalcite may be used as a standard for identification of spectral properties of naturally occurring anhydrous carbonate minerals.

Microwave Synthesis and Characterization of a Silver–Poly (Amide Amine) Dendrimer Nanocomposite with Application as a Hydrogen Peroxide Sensor

A novel procedure to fabricate a nonenzymatic hydrogen peroxide sensor was developed based on a silver-poly (amide amine) dendrimer nanocomposite synthesized by a microwave procedure. The formation of silver nanoparticles functionalized with the poly (amide amine) dendrimer was confirmed by ultraviolet visible spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The electroanalytical properties of a glassy carbon electrode modified with the silver-poly (amide amine) dendrimer nanocomposite were evaluated by the determination of hydrogen peroxide. The electrochemical sensor exhibited rapid response and high sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide with a linear dynamic range from 1.0 × 10–5 to 3.7 × 10–3 molar (r = 0.998) and a limit of detection of 5.06 micromolar. The sensitivity was 30.24 microampere · per millilmolar per square centimeter and the response time was three seconds at a working potential of ?0.35 volt. In addition, the sensor was unaffected by the presence of ascorbic acid, citric acid, and oxalic acid. These results indicate that the silver-poly (amide amine) dendrimer nanocomposite based sensor has application for the determination of hydrogen peroxide.
