Colorimetric detection of hydrogen peroxide and lactate based on the etching of the carbon based Au-Ag bimetallic nanocomposite synthesized by carbon dots as the reductant and stabilizer

In this report, carbon-based gold core silver shell Au-Ag bimetallic nanocomposite (Au-Ag/C NC) was synthesized using carbon dots (C-dots) as the reductant and stabilizer by a facile green sequential reduction approach. The structure and morphology of the nanocomposite are characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The as synthesized Au-Ag/C NC exhibits good optic response toward hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) without adding any other chromogenic agents. The characteristic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorbance peak of Au-Ag/C NC declined and red-shifted with the solution color changing from reddish orange to light pink when adding H₂O₂ owing to the etching effect of H₂O₂ towards Ag. Thus, a simple colorimetric and UV strategy for sensitive detection of H₂O₂ is proposed. It provides the wide linear range for detection of H₂O₂ from 0.8–90 μM and 90–500 μM, and the detection limit was as low as 0.3 μM (S/N = 3). In addition, this colorimetric strategy can also be applied to directly distinguish and detect of lactate by naked eye and UV–Vis. The linear range of colorimetric sensing towards lactate was 0.1–22 μM and 22–220 μM, which was successfully applied in the analysis of lactate in human serum.     

Comparative study on ciprofloxacin removal in sulfur-mediated biological systems

The removal of ciprofloxacin(CIP) in sulfur-mediated bio processes,e.g.,sulfate-reducing bacteria(SRB)-mediated process and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria(SOB)-mediated process,was examined for the first time.The results showed that the SRB-mediated process had more efficient CIP removal than that in SOB-mediated process.Adsorption was the primary removal pathway of CIP in SRB-mediated process and SOB-mediated process with the specific adsorption removal rate of 131.4±1.1 μg/g-SS/d and30.1±1.4 μg/g-SS/d,respectively,at influent CIP concentration of 500 μg/L.In addition,extracellular polymeric substances(EPS) also played an important role on CIP migration and removal in both types of sludge.Further study was conducted to specify the different adsorption of CIP in these two sludge systems from the perspective of sludge properties.The results indicated that there are more potential adsorption sites exist on the SRB-mediated sludge for CIP adsorption than SOB-mediated sludge since the higher protein(PN) content and more kinds of aromatic amino acid substances in EPS,more negative zeta-potential and stronger and more numbers of functional groups in SRB-mediated sludge compared to SOB-mediated sludge.The findings of this study provide insights into the sludge properties affecting CIP removal in sulfur-mediated bioprocesses,and are of guiding significance to employ sulfur-mediated biological systems for treating CIP-containing wastewaters.

Amperometric enzyme electrodes of glucose and lactate based on poly(diallyldimethylammonium)-alginate-metal ion-enzyme biocomposites

Sodium alginate (AlgNa) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) were mixed to obtain an interpenetrating polymer composite via electrostatic interaction and then cast on an Au electrode surface, followed by incorporation of metal ions (e.g. Fe³⁺ or Ca²⁺, to form AlgFe or AlgCa hydrogel) and glucose oxidase (GOx) (or lactate oxidase (LOx)), to prepare amperometric enzyme electrodes. The interactions of PDDA, Alg, and Fe³⁺ are studied by visual inspection as well as microscopic and electrochemical methods. Under optimized conditions, the PDDA-AlgFe-enzyme/Au and PDDA-AlgCa-enzyme/Au electrodes can give good analytical performance (e.g. nM-scale limit of detection of glucose or lactate, and sensitivities > 50 μA cm⁻² mM⁻¹) in the first-generation biosensing mode, which are better than the reported analogs using typical polysaccharide biopolymers as enzyme-immobilization matrices. The enzyme electrodes also worked well in the second-generation biosensing mode in the coexistence of p-benzoquione or ferrocene monocarboxylic acid artificial mediator. Biofuel cells (BFCs) with the enzyme electrodes as the bioanodes and glucose (or lactate) as the biofuel were also fabricated with satisfactory results. The proposed protocols for preparation of high performance Alg-based biocomposites may find wide applications in bioanalysis.

A microband lactate biosensor fabricated using a water-based screen-printed carbon ink

The present study demonstrated for the first time that screen-printed carbon microband electrodes fabricated from water-based ink can readily detect H₂O₂ and that the same ink, with the addition of lactate oxidase, can be used to construct microband biosensors to measure lactate. These microband devices were fabricated by a simple cutting procedure using conventional sized screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) containing the electrocatalyst cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPC). These devices were characterised with H₂O₂ using several electrochemical techniques. Cyclic voltammograms were found to be sigmoidal; a current density value of 4.2 mA cm⁻² was obtained. A scan rate study revealed that the mass transport mechanism was a mixture of radial and planar diffusion. However, a further amperometric study under quiescent and hydrodynamic conditions indicated that radial diffusion predominated. A chronoamperometric study indicated that steady-state currents were obtained with these devices for a variety of H₂O₂ concentrations and that the currents were proportional to the analyte concentration. Lactate microband biosensors were then fabricated by incorporating lactate oxidase into the water-based formulation prior to printing and then cutting as described. Voltammograms demonstrated that lactate oxidase did not compromise the integrity of the electrode for H₂O₂ detection. A potential of +400 mV was selected for a calibration study, which showed that lactate could be measured over a dynamic range of 1-10 mM which was linear up to 6 mM; a calculated lower limit of detection of 289 μM was ascertained. This study provides a platform for monitoring cell metabolism in-vitro by measuring lactate electrochemically via a microband biosensor.     

二氧化硅负载的不同碱金属硝酸盐催化乳酸缩合反应制备2, 3-戊二酮的催化性能比较研究

考察了二氧化硅负载的不同碱金属硝酸盐催化乳酸缩合制备2, 3-戊二酮的催化性能。在考察的碱金属硝酸盐如硝酸锂、硝酸钠、硝酸钾和硝酸铯作为催化剂的前驱体中,重点关注的是碱金属阳离子对乳酸缩合反应的影响。通过对这些硝酸盐前驱体在反应中的作用研究,发现硝酸铯的催化性能最佳。为了探究影响催化剂性能的原因,对新鲜催化剂和用过的催化剂采用X射线衍射（XRD）、傅里叶变换红外（FT-IR）光谱进行表征,发现所有的硝酸盐在反应过程中快速地转变为乳酸盐,并认为乳酸盐才是催化活性物种。随后,又借助CO₂程序升温脱附（CO₂-TPD）表征手段对用过的催化剂的碱性进行表征,发现二氧化硅负载的硝酸铯具有最强的碱性。乳酸缩合反应制备2, 3-戊二酮被广泛认为是碱催化反应,因此,二氧化硅负载的硝酸铯展示了最佳的催化性能。此外,本文还讨论了反应温度、硝酸盐的负载量等工艺条件对反应的影响。以4.4%（x,摩尔分数）CsNO₃/SiO₂为催化剂,在反应温度为300 ℃条件下,2, 3-戊二酮的收率达54.1%。     

Formation of Oxygen Vacancies on the {010} Facets of BiOCl and Visible Light Activity for Degradation of Ciprofloxacin

BiOCl nanosheets with oxygen vacancies on the exposed {010} facets were assistant-synthesized by triethanolamine(TEOA) via hydrothermal method. We explored the surface properties, crystal structure, morphology and optical absorption ability of the prepared samples via various characterization technologies. The results indicate that the morphologies and microstructures of the obtained samples depend on the amount of TEOA in the synthesis. The addition of TEOA induces the production of oxygen vacancy on the surface of the samples. Therefore, the synthesized samples with TEOA-assistance hold higher photoactivity for the degradation of colorless antibiotic agent ciprofloxacin(CIP) under visible light(λ ≥ 420 nm). The obtained sample upon the addition of 20 mL of TEOA exhibits the highest photocatalytic performance, which is nearly 14 times as high as that of the sample prepared without TEOA and twice as high as that of the prepared samples with NaOH or NH₃·H₂O. The possible degradation mechanism was discussed on the basis of the experiment results.
