Brycht M, Leniart A, Skrzypek S, Burnat B. Incorporation of Bismuth(III) Oxide Nanoparticles into Carbon Ceramic Composite: Electrode Material with Improved Electroanalytical Performance in 4-Chloro-3-Methylphenol Determination. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:665. [PMID: 38591996 PMCID: PMC10856505 DOI: 10.3390/ma17030665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a carbon ceramic electrode (CCE) with improved electroanalytical performance was developed by bulk-modifying it with bismuth(III) oxide nanoparticles (Bi-CCE). Characterization of the Bi-CCE was conducted employing atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Comparative analysis was conducted using an unmodified CCE. The findings proved that the incorporation of Bi2O3 nanoparticles into the CCE significantly altered the morphology and topography of the ceramic composite, and it improved the electrochemical properties of CCE. Notably, the Bi-CCE demonstrated a prolonged operational lifespan of at least three months, and there was a high reproducibility of the electrode preparation procedure. The developed Bi-CCE was effectively employed to explore the electrochemical behavior and quantify the priority environmental pollutant 4-chloro-3-methylphenol (PCMC) using CV and square-wave voltammetry (SWV), respectively. Notably, the developed SWV procedure utilizing Bi-CCE exhibited significantly enhanced sensitivity (0.115 µA L mol-1), an extended linearity (0.5-58.0 µmol L-1), and a lower limit of detection (0.17 µmol L-1) in comparison with the unmodified electrode. Furthermore, the Bi-CCE was utilized effectively for the detection of PCMC in a river water sample intentionally spiked with the compound. The selectivity toward PCMC determination was also successfully assessed.

Abstract
The aim of this electrochemical study was to ascertain which type of electrochemically deposited carbonyl functionalized polymer represents the most suitable electrode substrate for direct covalent immobilization of biological catalysts (enzymes). For this purpose, a triad of amperometric biosensors differing in the type of conductive polymers (poly-vanillin, poly-trans-cinnamaldehyde, and poly-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) and in the functioning of selected enzymes (tyrosinase and alkaline phosphatase) has been compared for the biosensing of neurotransmitters (dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and serotonin) and phenyl phosphates (p-aminophenyl phosphate and hydroquinone diphosphate). The individual layers of the polymers were electrochemically deposited onto commercially available screen-printed carbon electrodes (type C110) using repetitive potential cycling in the linear voltammetric mode. Their characterization was subsequently performed by SEM imaging and attenuated total reflectance FTIR spectroscopy. Molecules of enzymes were covalently bonded to the free carbonyl groups in polymers via the Schiff base formation, in some cases even with the use of special cross-linkers. The as-prepared biosensors have been examined using cyclic voltammetry and amperometric detection. In this way, the role of the carbonyl groups embedded in the polymeric structure was defined with respect to the efficiency of binding enzymes, and consequently, via the final (electro)analytical performance.

Abstract
2,3-Dihydroxyphenol (DHP) is a phenolic compound that has been used as an additive in biodiesel to avoid the auto-oxidation of biofuels and also in the production of cosmetic products. However, this substance can be released into the environment during its manufacture, transport, disposal and industrial use and can be harmful to health due to its toxicity, and hence, monitoring its presence in different samples is very important. Therefore, this work describes an electroanalytical study of DHP using different carbon-based pastes prepared to evaluate which one would be more promising to be used as an electrochemical platform for DHP quantification. The materials studied (graphite, carbon black and carbon nanotubes) in this work were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and the Boehm method. Voltammetric studies showed that pure carbon black presented a higher current density for detecting DHP than the other materials tested (graphite, carbon black + graphite, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanotubes + graphite). In studying the medium's pH, the highest currents occurred in acid media and acetate buffer solutions. After optimizing the experimental parameters, it was possible to obtain a wide range of linear responses from 0.1 to 10 000 μmol L-1 for DHP and a good limit of detection (LOD) of 0.03 μmol L-1. The selectivity of the electrode was tested for different species that may be present in samples containing DHP. Finally, the electrode was applied to determine DHP in natural water and biodiesel samples, showing recovery values between 98 and 102%, indicating good accuracy.

Abstract
The treatment of phenolic-containing wastewater has received increased attention in recent years. In this study, the N-doped porous carbons were prepared from lignite with tripolycyanamide as the N source, and their phenol adsorption behaviors were investigated. Results clearly showed that the addition of tripolycyanamide largely improved the surface area, micropore volume, N content and thus the phenol adsorption capacity of lignite-based carbons. The N-doped sample prepared at 700 °C showed a surface area of 1630 m2/g and a phenol adsorption capacity as high as 182.4 mg/g at 20 °C, which were 2.0 and 1.6 times that of the lignite-based carbon without N-doping. Pseudo-second order and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models could better explain the phenol adsorption behaviors over lignite-based N-doped porous carbon. Theoretical calculations demonstrated that phenol adsorption energies over graphitic-N (−72 kJ/mol) and pyrrolic-N (−74 kJ/mol) groups were slightly lower than that over the N-free graphite layer (−71 kJ/mol), supporting that these N-containing groups contribute to enhance the phenol adsorption capacity. The adsorption mechanism of phenol over porous carbon might be interpreted by the π–π dispersion interactions between aromatic-ring and carbon planes, which could be enhanced by N-doping through increasing π electron densities in the carbon plane.

Abstract
This article reports on the influence of resorcinol (RC) on the kinetics of underpotential deposition of hydrogen (UPD of H) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), studied on a polycrystalline Pt electrode in a 0.5 M sulphuric acid supporting solution. It is well known that both PEM fuel cells and water electrolysers’ electrodes often contain significant amounts of nanostructured Pt or other types of noble metal particles. These materials provide the superior catalytic activity of electrochemical reactions such as OER (oxygen evolution reaction), HER (hydrogen evolution reaction) and ORR (oxygen reduction reaction). The trace amounts of phenolic substances contained in air or water could be harmful (when in contact with a fuel cell/water electrolyser’s working environment) to the abovementioned catalytic surfaces. Hence, they could potentially have severe detrimental effects on the kinetics of these processes. The results obtained in this work provided evidence for the detrimental role of Pt surface-adsorbed resorcinol molecules (or their electrodegradation products) on the kinetics of UPD of H and the oxygen evolution reaction. The above was revealed through evaluation of the associated charge-transfer resistance and capacitance parameters, comparatively derived on a platinum electrode, for the initial and the resorcinol-modified H2SO4 electrolyte.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds such as vanillic and p-coumaric acids are pollutants of major concern in the agro-industrial processing, thereby their effective detection in the industrial environment is essential to reduce exposure. Herein, we present the quenching effect of these compounds on the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of the Ru(bpy)32+ /TPrA (TPrA=tri-n-propylamine) system at a disposable screen-printed carbon electrode. Transient ECL profiles are obtained from multiple video frames following 1.2 V application by a smartphone-based ECL sensor. A wide range of detection was achieved using the sensor with limit of detection of 0.26 μM and 0.68 μM for vanillic and p-coumaric acids, respectively. The estimated quenching constants determined that the quenching efficiency of vanillic acid is at least two-fold that of p-coumaric acid under the current detection conditions. The present ECL quenching approach provided an effective method to detect phenolic compounds using a low-cost, portable smartphone-based ECL sensor.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped magnetic mesoporous hollow carbon (NMMHC) was prepared to realize effective adsorption of phenol from wastewater. The chemical and physical properties of NMMHC were analyzed, and the effects of adsorption time, initial pH, and phenol concentration on the adsorption capacity of NMMHC were studied. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm models were used to explain the adsorption properties. The results showed that the specific surface area, type of nitrogen group, and nitrogen content of NMMHC are related to the carbonization temperature. Chemical interaction was demonstrated to be present in the process of adsorption, which was characterized as monolayer adsorption. In addition, the adsorption mechanism was studied by attenuated total internal reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and analysis of non-covalent interactions. This study found that non-covalent interactions between NMMHC and phenol molecules are van der Waals interactions, and nitrogen-containing groups increase the phenol adsorption capacity by enhancing such interactions. The π-π interactions between the nitrogen groups and phenol molecules also enhanced the adsorption energy.

Abstract
The Kane-Maguire polymerization mechanism is disassembled at a molecular level by using DFT-based quantum mechanical calculations. Resorcinol electropolymerization is selected as a case study. Stationary points (transition states and intermediate species) leading to the formation of the dimer are found on the potential energy surface (PES), and elementary reactions involved in the dimer formation are characterized. The latter allow to further propagate the polymerization chain reaction, when applied recursively. In this paper, the fundamental role of the sulfate anion (a typical base electrolyte) is addressed. Investigation of the PES in terms of both stationary-state properties and of ab initio molecular dynamics results (dynamic reaction coordinate) allows the appreciation in detail of the critical role of the base electrolyte anion in making the proton dissociation from the initial radical ion, a feasible (downhill in energy) process.

Abstract
This research investigated chlorinated byproduct formation at Ti4O7 anodes. Resorcinol was used as a model organic compound representative of reactive phenolic groups in natural organic matter and industrial phenolic contaminants and was oxidized in the presence of NaCl (0-5 mM). Resorcinol mineralization was >68% in the presence and absence of NaCl at 3.1 V/SHE (residence time = 13 s). Results indicated that ∼4.3% of the initial chloride was converted to inorganic byproducts (free Cl2, ClO2-, ClO3-) in the absence of resorcinol, and this value decreased to <0.8% in the presence of resorcinol. Perchlorate formation rates from chlorate oxidation were 115-371 mol m-2 h-1, approximately two orders of magnitude lower than reported values for boron-doped diamond anodes. Liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy detected two chlorinated organic products. Multichlorinated alcohol compounds (C3H2Cl4O and C3H4Cl4O) at 2.5 V/SHE and a monochlorinated phenolic compound (C8H7O4Cl) at 3.1 V/SHE were proposed as possible structures. Density functional theory calculations estimated that the proposed alcohol products were resistant to direct oxidation at 2.5 V/SHE, and the C8H7O4Cl compound was likely a transient intermediate. Chlorinated byproducts should be carefully monitored during electrochemical advanced oxidation processes, and multibarrier treatment approaches are likely necessary to prevent halogenated byproducts in the treated water.

Abstract
A completely new electroanalytical method for the determination of fenhexamid (FNX) residues in fruit samples has been developed. This method is based on anodic oxidation of fungicide in Britton-Robinson buffer (pH 4) containing 10% (v/v) methanol using square-wave voltammetry when five different carbon-based electrodes were tested. An electrochemical behaviour of FNX was studied on a glassy carbon electrode using cyclic voltammetry, while glassy carbon paste electrode was selected for analytical purposes. Linear range for FNX from 3.96 to 49.50 µmol L-1 characterized by coefficient of determination of 0.9964, sensitivity of 0.176 µA L µmol-1, and detection limit of 1.32 µmol L-1 were calculated. Results acquired from analyses of blueberries and wine grapes were compared to those obtained by a reference chromatographic method, and a satisfactory agreement has been reached. Finally, it seems that the present voltammetric approach could find its application in food quality control as screening assay.

Abstract
This work investigates the mechanisms of resorcinol oxidation by density functional theory (DFT) calculation and cyclic voltammetry measurements. Complementary data from experimental and computational studies provide new insights into the reaction mechanisms. At both macro- and micro-electrodes, cyclic voltammetry of resorcinol is chemically and electrochemically irreversible over the whole pH range (1–14). Resorcinol molecules undergo a 1H+ 1e− oxidation at pH < pKa1 and a 1e− oxidation at pH > pKa2 to form radicals. The radicals then readily react to form dimers/polymers deposited on the electrode surface. All of the experimental findings are consistent with the proposed mechanisms, including the apparent transfer coefficient (β) of 0.6 ± 0.1, the slope of the peak potential (Ep) against pH of −54 mV pH−1, the peak-shaped responses at micro-electrodes, and the fouling of the electrodes upon the oxidation of resorcinol. DFT calculation of the reaction energy of elementary steps and the eigenvalues of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the radical intermediates confirms that the (1H+) 1e− oxidation is the energetically favorable pathway. In addition to mechanistic insights, an electrochemical sensor is developed for resorcinol detection at microelectrodes in low ionic strength samples with the sensitivity of 123 ± 4 nA μM−1 and the limit of detection (3 sB m−1) of 0.03 μM. Resorcinol oxidation mechanism was investigated by DFT calculation and cyclic voltammetry experiments at macro- and micro-electrodes (1 ≤ pH ≤ 14).![]()

Thermal and Flammability Properties of Kenaf/Recycled Carbon Filled with Cardanol Hybrid Composites. INT J POLYM SCI 2019.

Abstract
In this paper, hybrid composites were fabricated by using kenaf and recycled carbon with a cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) derivative known as cardanol as the matrix by a compression molding technique. In this work, we look for the effect of recycled carbon weight loading (15%, 25%, and 35%) on the thermal properties of kenaf/cardanol composites while maintaining the total fiber loading of 50 wt%. TGA, DSC, DMA, and flammability UL 90 HB properties of the specimens were studied. The results indicate that cardanol improved the thermal stability of kenaf and hybridization with recycled carbon also further improved the thermal stability of the specimens. The flammability UL 90 HB test determines the flame retardancy property of all specimens.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation of resorcinol on a polycrystalline platinum electrode was investigated in five different solutions, namely 0.5 and 0.1 M H2SO4, 0.5 M Na2SO4, 0.5 and 0.1 M NaOH. The rates of electrochemical degradation of resorcinol were determined based on the obtained reaction parameters, such as resistance, capacitance and current-density. The electrochemical analyses (cyclic voltammetry and a.c. impedance spectroscopy) were carried-out by means of a three-compartment, Pyrex glass cell. These results showed that the electrochemical oxidation of resorcinol is strongly pH-dependent. In addition, the energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy technique was employed for Pt electrode surface characterization. Additionally, the quantitative determination of resorcinol removal was performed by means of instrumental high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) methodology.

Abstract
This work reports on the kinetics of electrochemical degradation of the resorcinol molecule, examined on nickel foam-based electrodes in contact with 0.1 M NaOH and 0.5 M Na₂SO₄ supporting electrolytes. The electrooxidation of resorcinol was examined on as-received, as well as on Pd-modified, nickel foam catalyst materials, produced via spontaneous deposition of trace amounts of palladium element. Electrochemical (cyclic voltammetry and a.c. impedance) experiments were carried out by means of a three-compartment, pyrex glass electrochemical cell, whereas continuous resorcinol electrooxidation tests were conducted galvanostatically (or potentistatically) with a laboratory-size, single-cell electrolyzer unit. In addition, quantitative determination of resorcinol and its possible electrodegradation products was performed by means of instrumental HPLC: High-Performance Liquid Chromatography/MS: Mass Spectrometry methodology. Also, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) techniques were employed for Ni foam (Pd-modified Ni foam) surface characterizations.

Abstract
Using electrochemical techniques (cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV)) with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode it was possible to study the behavior of hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CT) and resorcinol (RS), in aqueous solutions as well as to associate the electrochemical profiles with computational simulations. It led to understanding the factors that influence the direct electrooxidation of HQ, CT and RS on the BDD surface. Theoretical calculations demonstrated that the compounds with lower HOMO energy and high ionization potential (IP) are more stable, showing a higher Epa, denoting that HOMO energies and IP are related to the difficulty of oxidizing (losing an electron) a specific compound. Analyzing the electro-oxidation reactions of HQ, CT and RS by using computational calculations, it was possible to verify the reversibility behavior, direct oxidation pathway and the possible intermediates formed during electron-transfer. The results clearly demonstrated that the reversibility was attained for HQ and CT, while this behavior is not feasible, thermodynamically speaking, for RS and this was confirmed by DFT calculations. For direct oxidation mechanisms, HQ and CT are quickly oxidized, but RS produces stable intermediates. These experimental and theoretical results also explain the behavior when the compounds were analyzed by electroanalytical techniques, suggesting that the interactions by direct electron-transfer determine the stability of response (sensitivity) as well as the limit of detection. The results are described and discussed in light of the existing literature. Using electrochemical techniques it was possible to study the behavior of hydroquinone, catechol and resorcinol, at boron doped diamond surface in aqueous solutions as well as to associate the electrochemical profiles with computational simulations.![]()
