Facile synthesis of ultrafine Co3O4 nanocrystals embedded carbon matrices with specific skeletal structures as efficient non-enzymatic glucose sensors

A facile, effective, and environmentally friendly method has been adopted for the first time to prepare tiny Co₃O₄ nanocrystals embedded carbon matrices without using surfactants, harmful organic reagents or extreme conditions. Structural characterizations reveal that the size-controlled Co₃O₄ nanocrystals are uniformly dispersed on carbon matrices. Electrochemical measurements reveal that Co₃O₄-ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) can more efficiently catalyze glucose oxidation and acquire better detection parameters compared with those for the Co₃O₄-macroporous carbon, Co₃O₄-reduced graphene oxide, and free Co₃O₄ nanoparticles (NPs) (such as: the large sensitivity (2597.5 μA cm⁻² mM⁻¹ between 0 and 0.8 mM and 955.9 μA cm⁻² mM⁻¹ between 0.9 and 7.0 mM), fast response time, wide linear range, good stability, and surpassingly selective capability to electroactive molecules or Cl⁻). Such excellent performances are attributed to the synergistic effect of the following three factors: (1) the high catalytic sites provided by the uniformly dispersed and size-controlled Co₃O₄ nanocrystals embedded on OMC; (2) the excellent reactant transport efficiency caused by the abundant mesoporous structures of OMC matrix: (3) the improved electron transport in high electron transfer rate (confinement of the Co₃O₄ NPs in nanoscale spaces ensured intimate contact between Co₃O₄ nanocrystals and the conducting OMC matrix). The superior catalytic activity and selectivity make Co₃O₄-OMC very promising for application in direct detection of glucose.     

PEG作为成孔剂对聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺-co-丙烯酸)水凝胶性能的影响

以PEG400,1000,6000为成孔剂,合成了一系列聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺co丙烯酸)水凝胶,研究了成孔剂分子量和数量对凝胶性能的影响.结果表明,聚乙二醇(PEG)分子充当成孔剂,不参与反应.PEG分子量越大,投料越多,所得凝胶孔的孔径越大,孔数目越多,在室温时可以容纳更多的水分子,因而溶胀率也越大.凝胶的大孔结构有利于水分子的进出,所以响应速率比普通共聚凝胶快.随着PEG分子量增大,孔数目增多,响应速率相应变快.

THERMODYNAMIC STUDY OF ADSORPTION OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION BY A WATER-COMPATIBLE HYPERCROSSLINKED POLYMERIC ADSORBENT

Equilibrium data for the adsorption of phenolic compounds, i.e., phenol, p-cresol, p-chlorophenol and p-nitrophenol from aqueous solutions by a water-compatible hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbent (NJ-8) within temperature range of 283-323 K were obtained and correlated with a Freundlich-type of isotherm equation, so that equilibrium constants KF and n were obtained. The capacities of equilibrium adsorption for all the four phenolic compounds on the NJ-8 from aqueous solutions are around 2 times as high as those of Amberlite XAD-4, which may be attributed to the unusual micropore structure and the partial polarity on the network. The values of the enthalpy (always negative) are indicative of an exothermic process, which manifests the adsorption of all the four phenolic compounds on the two polymeric adsorbents to be a process of physical adsorption. The negative values of free energy change show that the solute is more concentrated on the adsorbent than in the bulk solution. The absolute free energy values of adsorption for NJ-8 are always higher than those for Amberlite XAD-4, which indicates that phenolic compounds are preferentially adsorbed on NJ-8. The negative values of the adsorption entropy are consistent with the restricted mobilities of adsorbed molecules of phenolic compounds as compared with the molecules in solution. The adsorption entropy values of phenolic compounds for NJ-8 are lower than those for Amberlite XAD-4, which means the micropores of NJ-8 require more orderly arranged adsorbate.     

A Glucose Biosensor Based on Immobilization of Glucose Oxidase into 3D Macroporous TiO2

3D macroporous TiO₂ inverse opals have been derived from a sol‐gel procedure using polystyrene colloidal crystals as templates. EDS and SEM showed a face‐centered cubic (FCC) structure TiO₂ inverse opal was obtained. Glucose oxidase (GOx) was successfully immobilized on the surface of indium‐tin oxide (ITO) electrode modified by TiO₂ inverse opal (TiO_2(IO)). Electrochemical properties of GOx/TiO_2(IO)/ITO electrode were characterized by using the three electrodes system. The result of cyclic voltammetry showed that a couple of stable and well‐defined redox peaks for the direct electron transfer of GOx in absence of glucose, and the redox peak height enhanced in presence of 0.1 μM glucose. Compare with the ordinary structured GOx/TiO₂/ITO electrode, inverse opal structured GOx/TiO_2(IO)/ITO electrode has a better respond to the glucose concentration change. Under optimized experimental conditions of solution pH 6.8 and detection potential at 0.30 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE), amperometric measurements were performed. The sensitivity and the detection limit of glucose detection was 151 μA cm^?2 mM^?1 and 0.02 μM at a signal‐to‐noise ratio of 3, respectively. The good response was due to the good biocompatibility of TiO₂ and the large effective surface of the three‐dimensionally ordered macroporous structure.

Separation of isorhamnetin 3‐sulphate and astragalin from Flaveria bidentis (L.) Kuntze using macroporous resin and followed by high‐speed countercurrent chromatography

D4020 resin offered the best dynamic adsorption and desorption capacity for total flavonoids based on the research results from ten kinds of macroporous resin. A column packed with D4020 resin was used to optimize the separation of total flavonoids from Flaveria bidentis (L.) Kuntze extracts. The content of flavonoids in the product was increased from 4.3 to 30.1% with a recovery yield of 90%. After the treatment with gradient elution on D4020 resin, the contents of isorhamnetin 3‐sulfate and astragalin were increased from 0.49 to 8.70% with a recovery yield of 74.1% and 1.16 to 30.8%, with a recovery yield of 92.2%, respectively. Further purification was carried out by one‐run high‐speed countercurrent chromatography yielding 4.5 mg of isorhamnetin 3‐sulfate at a high purity of 96.48% and yielding 24.4 mg of astragalin at a high purity of over 98.46%.     

Comparison of adsorption equilibrium of fructose, glucose and sucrose on potassium gel-type and macroporous sodium ion-exchange resins

Adsorption equilibrium of fructose, glucose and sucrose was evaluated on sulfonated poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) cation-exchange resins. Two types of resins were used: potassium (K⁺) gel-type and sodium (Na⁺) macroporous resins. Influence of the cation and effect of the resin structure on adsorption were studied. The adsorption isotherms were determined by the static method in batch mode for mono-component and multi-component sugar mixtures, at 25 and 40 °C, in a range of concentrations between 5 and 250 g L⁻¹. All adsorption isotherms were fitted by a linear model in this range of concentrations. Sugars were adsorbed in both resins by the following order: fructose > glucose > sucrose. Sucrose was more adsorbed in the Na⁺ macroporous resin, glucose was identically adsorbed, and fructose was more adsorbed in the K⁺ gel-type resin. Data obtained from the adsorption of multi-component mixtures as compared to the mono-component ones showed a competitive effect on the adsorption at 25 °C, and a synergetic effect at 40 °C. The temperature increase conducted to a decrease on the adsorption capacity for mono-component sugar mixtures, and to an increase for the multi-component mixtures. Based on the selectivity results, K⁺ gel-type resin seems to be the best choice for the separation of fructose, glucose and sucrose, at 25 °C.
