Rana DS, Sharma R, Gupta N, Sharma V, Thakur S, Singh D. Development of metal free carbon catalyst derived from Parthenium hysterophorus for the electrochemical detection of dopamine. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 231:116151. [PMID: 37196695 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
Parthenium hysterophorus, one of the seven most hazardous weeds is widely known for its allergic, respiratory and skin-related disorders. It is also known to affect biodiversity and ecology. For eradication of the weed, its effective utilization for the successful synthesis of carbon-based nanomaterial is a potent management strategy. In this study, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was synthesized from weed leaf extract through a hydrothermal-assisted carbonization method. The crystallinity and geometry of the as-synthesized nanostructure are confirmed from the X-ray diffraction study, while the chemical architecture of the nanomaterial is ascertained through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The stacking of flat graphene-like layers with a size range of ∼200-300 nm is visualized through high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images. Further, the as-synthesized carbon nanomaterial is advanced as an effective and highly sensitive electrochemical biosensor for dopamine, a vital neurotransmitter of the human brain. Nanomaterial oxidizes dopamine at a much lower potential (0.13 V) than other metal-based nanocomposites. Moreover, the obtained sensitivity (13.75 and 3.31 μA μM-1 cm-2), detection limit (0.6 and 0.8 μM), the limit of quantification (2.2 and 2.7 μM) and reproducibility calculated through cyclic voltammetry/differential pulse voltammetry respectively outcompete many metal-based nanocomposites that were previously used for the sensing of dopamine. This study boosts the research on the metal-free carbon-based nanomaterial derived from waste plant biomass.

NANO CONVERGENCE 2022; 9:26. [PMID: 35666392 PMCID: PMC9170864 DOI: 10.1186/s40580-022-00317-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/22/2022] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Quantum flatland i.e., the family of two dimensional (2D) quantum materials has become increscent and has already encompassed elemental atomic sheets (Xenes), 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), 2D metal nitrides/carbides/carbonitrides (MXenes), 2D metal oxides, 2D metal phosphides, 2D metal halides, 2D mixed oxides, etc. and still new members are being explored. Owing to the occurrence of various structural phases of each 2D material and each exhibiting a unique electronic structure; bestows distinct physical and chemical properties. In the early years, world record electronic mobility and fractional quantum Hall effect of graphene attracted attention. Thanks to excellent electronic mobility, and extreme sensitivity of their electronic structures towards the adjacent environment, 2D materials have been employed as various ultrafast precision sensors such as gas/fire/light/strain sensors and in trace-level molecular detectors and disease diagnosis. 2D materials, their doped versions, and their hetero layers and hybrids have been successfully employed in electronic/photonic/optoelectronic/spintronic and straintronic chips. In recent times, quantum behavior such as the existence of a superconducting phase in moiré hetero layers, the feasibility of hyperbolic photonic metamaterials, mechanical metamaterials with negative Poisson ratio, and potential usage in second/third harmonic generation and electromagnetic shields, etc. have raised the expectations further. High surface area, excellent young's moduli, and anchoring/coupling capability bolster hopes for their usage as nanofillers in polymers, glass, and soft metals. Even though lab-scale demonstrations have been showcased, large-scale applications such as solar cells, LEDs, flat panel displays, hybrid energy storage, catalysis (including water splitting and CO2 reduction), etc. will catch up. While new members of the flatland family will be invented, new methods of large-scale synthesis of defect-free crystals will be explored and novel applications will emerge, it is expected. Achieving a high level of in-plane doping in 2D materials without adding defects is a challenge to work on. Development of understanding of inter-layer coupling and its effects on electron injection/excited state electron transfer at the 2D-2D interfaces will lead to future generation heterolayer devices and sensors.
