Novel synthesis of sensor for selective detection of Fe+3 ions under various solvents

Naked-eye colored chemo dosimeter based on vanilline based conjugated sensor was synthesized and characterized. The main point of this paper is that the solvent also affects on selectivity of metals. Vanilline based conjugate sensor exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity for detection of Ferric ions (Fe⁺³) in all (both polar and nonpolar) solvents according to absorbance which can be observed by naked eye. The selectivity was more prominent in nonpolar or less polar solvent due to solubility factor of ions and sensor but not for polar. The detection of limit of the synthesized probes was shown up to 0.84 ppm. The dielectric constant of solvents affected on the complex formation of ligand with transition metal ions. A filter paper strip system was used for rapid monitoring of detection by color variation.     

Study on the electroreduction of In(III) ions at gold from acidic bromide solutions by the rotating ring-disc electrode technique

The mechanism of the indium electrodeposition on gold from acidic KBr solutions has been investigated by means of the rotating ring-disc electrode technique. The measurements showed that the overall electrode reaction In(III) + 3 e In consists of two successive charge transfer steps, i.e. In(III) + 2 e In(I) and In(I) + e In, with soluble monovalent indium as an intermediate. The current efficiency for In(I) generation under steady-state conditions is 100% in the case of low disc current densities. The disproportionation of In(I) in the bulk of solution occurs in slightly acidified solutions,pH=2, in addition to the In(I) electrochemical reduction. Based on the ring current transients, it was established that the two-electron transfer step is preceded by the formation of a thin passive film of indium metal.

Untersuchung der elektrochemischen Reduktion von In(III)-Ionen an Gold in sauren Bromidlösungen mit der rotierenden Ring-Scheiben-Elektrode

Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe der rotierenden Ring-Scheiben-Elektrode wurde der Mechanismus der kathodischen Abscheidung von Indium auf Gold in sauren KBr-Lösungen untersucht. Aus den Messungen folgt, daß die Bruttoreaktion In(III) + 3e In über zwei aufeinanderfolgende Durchtrittsreaktionen, In(III) + 2 e In(I) und In(I) + e In, mit löslichem einwertigem Indium als Zwischenprodukt abläuft. Bei kleinen Stromdichten werden die In(I)-Ionen mit 100%iger Stromausbeute erzeugt. In schwächer sauren Lösungen (pH=2) konnte außer der elektrochemischen Reduktion von In(I) zusätzlich dessen Disproportionierung innerhalb der Lösung ermittelt werden. Auf Grund der Ringstrom-Zeit-Kurven wurde auch festgestellt, daß die Bildung von einer dünnen In-Metallschicht, die ein passives Verhalten aufweist, dem Zweielektronenübergang vorangegangen ist.

Heterointerface Engineering of ZnO/CdS Heterostructures through ZnS Layers for Photocatalytic Water Splitting

Solar-driven water splitting to produce clean and renewable hydrogen offers a green strategy to address the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Heterostructure catalysts are receiving increasing attention for photocatalytic hydrogen generation. ZnO/ZnS/CdS and ZnO/CdS heterostructures have been successfully designed and prepared according to two different strategies. By introducing a heterointerface layer of ZnS between ZnO and CdS, a Z scheme charge-transfer channel was promoted and achieved superior photocatalytic performance. A highest hydrogen generation rate of 156.7 μmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹ was achieved by precise control of the thickness of the heterointerface layer and of the CdS shell. These findings demonstrated that heterostructures are promising catalysts for solar-driven water splitting, and that heterointerface engineering is an effective way to improve the photocatalytic properties of heterostructures.     

q value and parent energy optimization using a low-voltage ionization approach increases resolution in linear ion trap mass spectrometry

In this work, the isolation step in the linear ion trap was performed using different “q values” conditions at a low collision-induced dissociation (CID) energy leading to the parent ion resolution improvements, reasonably due to better ion energy distribution. According to the results, we obtained a greater resolution and mass accuracy operating in both traditional electrospray and low voltage ionization near the q value = 0.778 and with a CID energy of 10%. This effect was evaluated with low-molecular-mass compounds (skatole and arginine). The proposed optimization yielded a superior instrument performance without adding technological complexity to mass spectrometry analyses.     

Ion chromatograph with three-dimensional printed absorbance detector for indirect ultraviolet absorbance detection of phosphate in effluent and natural waters

An ion chromatography system employing a low-cost three-dimensional printed absorbance detector for indirect ultraviolet detection towards portable phosphate analysis of environmental and industrial waters has been developed. The optical detection cell was fabricated using stereolithography three-dimensional printing of nanocomposite material. Chromatographic analysis and detection of phosphate were carried out using a CS5A 4 × 250 mm analytical column with indirect ultraviolet detection using a 255 nm light-emitting diode. Isocratic elution using a 0.6 mM potassium phthalate eluent combined with 1.44 mM sodium bicarbonate was employed at a flow rate of 0.75 mL/min. A linear calibration range of 0.5 to 30 mg/L PO₄³⁻ applicable to environmental and wastewater analysis was achieved. For retention time and peak area repeatability, relative standard deviation values were 0.68 and 4.09%, respectively. Environmental and wastewater samples were analyzed with the optimized ion chromatography platform and the results were compared to values obtained by an accredited ion chromatograph. For the analysis of environmental samples, relative errors of <14 % were achieved. Recovery analysis was also carried out on both freshwater and wastewater samples and recovery results were within the acceptable range for water analysis using standard ion chromatography methods.
