Nonstationary mathematical models of the electrochemical processes in volumetric porous flow electrodes

Model representations of the nonstationary processes caused by the nonstationary electrolysis regimes on three-dimensional flow electrodes (TFEs) were developed. A change in the electrode and electrolyte parameters with time was taken into account. As an illustration of the efficiency of a model of two-dimensional electrochemical system, co-electrodeposition of two metals with hydrogen evolution on TFE was considered for the case of mutually perpendicular directions of current and electrolyte flow.

Luminescent Sensing with Quantum Dots

Summary This review highlights recent advances in the use of quantum dots (QD’s) as luminescent sensors. The bulk of the study concentrates on systems that possess organic ligands bound to the surface of QD’s. These ligands vary from low molecular weight thiols to larger molecules such as maltose binding protein. All have one thing in common: when a target analyte binds to the ligand/receptor, a perturbation of the system occurs, that registers itself as a change in the luminescence intensity of the QD. Two main mechanisms are prevalent in controlling the luminescent intensity in such systems. The first is Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET) and the second energy transfer. This review looks at current sensors that operate by using these mechanisms. Two component systems are also investigated where a quencher is first added to a solution of the QD, followed by addition of the target analyte that interacts with the quencher to influence the luminescence intensity.

A DNA electrochemical sensor prepared by electrodepositing zirconia on composite films of single-walled carbon nanotubes and poly(2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid), and its application to detection of the PAT gene fragment

Carboxyl group-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (PDC) were electropolymerized by cyclic voltammetry on a glassy-carbon electrode (GCE) surface to form composite films (SWNTs/PDC). Zirconia was then electrodeposited on the SWNTs/PDC/GCE from an aqueous electrolyte containing ZrOCl₂ and KCl by cycling the potential between −1.1 V and +0.7 V at a scan rate of 20 mV s⁻¹. DNA probes with a phosphate group at the 5′ end were easily immobilized on the zirconia thin films, because of the strong affinity between zirconia and phosphate groups. The sensors were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). EIS was used for label-free detection of the target DNA by measuring the increase of the electron transfer resistance (R _et) of the electrode surface after the hybridization of the probe DNA with the target DNA. The PAT gene fragment and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the NOS gene from transgenically modified beans were satisfactorily detected by use of this DNA electrochemical sensor. The dynamic range of detection of the sensor for the PAT gene fragment was from 1.0 × 10⁻¹¹ to 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹ and the detection limit was 1.38 × 10⁻¹² mol L⁻¹.     

Optical nanosensor design with uniform pore geometry and large particle morphology

Appropriate design of nanosensors for optically selective, sensitive sensing systems is needed for naked-eye detection of pollutants for environmental cleanup of toxic heavy-metal ions. Mesostructured materials with two- or three-dimensional (2D or 3D) geometries and large particle morphologies show promise as probe carriers, and can therefore be used to reproducibly fabricate uniformly packed nanosensors. This is the first report on the effects of significant key properties of the mesostructured carriers, such as morphology, geometry, and pore shape, on the functionality of optical nanosensor designs. Such mesostructured sensors with superior physical characteristics can be used as components in sensing systems with excellent stability and sensitivity, and with rapid detection response. The nanosensor design can enhance the selectivity even at low concentrations of the pollutant target ions (nanomolar level). Among the nanosensors developed here, the large pore-surface grains of highly ordered 3D monoliths (HOM) exhibited a high adsorption capability of the Pyrogallol Red probe and high accessibility to analyte ion transport, leading to possible naked-eye detection of Sb(III) ions at concentrations as low as 10(-9) mol dm(-3) and at a wide detection range of 0.5 ppb to 3 ppm. A key finding in our study was that our mesostructured nanosensor designs retained highly efficient sensitivity without a significant increase in kinetic hindrance, despite the slight decrease of the specific activity of the electron acceptor/donor strength of the probe functional group after several regeneration/reuse cycles. The results, in general, indicate that large-scale reversibility of optical nanosensors is feasible in such metal-ion sensing systems.
